  • This paper presents a method of seismic analysis for a 2-D fluid-structure-soil interaction systems. With this method, the fluid can be modeled by spurious free 4-node displacement-based fluid elements which use rotational penalty and mass projection technique in conjunction with the one point reduced integration scheme to remove the spurious zero energy modes. The structure and the near-field soil are discretized by the standard 2-D finite elements, while the unbounded far-field soil is represented by the dynamic infinite elements in the frequency domain. Since this method directly models the fluid-structure-soil interaction systems, it can be applied to the dynamic analysis of a 2-D liquid storage structure with complex geometry. Finally, results of seismic analyses are presented for a spent fuel storage tank embedded in a layered half-space and a massive concrete dam on a layered half-space.

  • Microfiltration with in-line rapid coagulation for drinking water production was examined. The in-line rapid coagulation was conducted using newly developed mixing device instantaneous flash mixer. The flux decline during membrane filtration was monitored with coagulant dosage varied. Flux decline was minimized at 1.1mg/L of coagulant dosage, where streaming potential of coagulated water was near zero. The optimum dosage for the process control was explained by dimensionless distance (${\kappa}{\times}a$) of particle pairs, obtained from electrophoresis parameter describing electrostatic repulsion relative to Van der Waals energy between particle pairs in the pre-coagulated water.

  • Position estimation that uses only active phase voltage and current is presented, to perform high accuracy position sensorless control of a SRM drive. By extracting the amplitude of the first switching harmonic terms of phase voltage and current for a PWM period through Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), the flux-linkage and position are estimated without external hardware circuitry, such as a modulator and demodulator, which result in increased cost, as well as large position estimation error, produced when the motional back EMF is ignored near zero speed. A two-phase SRM drive system, consisting of an asymmetrical converter and a conventional closed-loop PI current controller, is utilized to validate the performance of the proposed position estimation scheme in comprehensive operating conditions. It is shown that the estimated values very closely track the actual values, in dynamic simulations and experiments.

  • In this note we study the structures of power-serieswise Armendariz rings and IFP rings when they are skewed by ring endomor-phisms (or automorphisms). We call such rings skew power-serieswise Armendariz rings and skew IFP rings, respectively. We also investigate relationships among them and construct necessary examples in the process. The results argued in this note can be extended to the ordinary ring theoretic properties of power-serieswise Armendariz rings, IFP rings, and near-related rings.

  • PFC(Power Factor Correction) converters are commonly designed for CCM(Continuous Conduction Mode). However, DCM(Discontinuous Conduction Mode) appears in the input current near the ZCP(Zero Crossing Point) at light loads, resulting in input current distortion. It is caused by inaccurate average current values obtained in DCM. This paper studies a simple digital control scheme that can be operated in both CCM and DCM with minimal changes to the CCM average current control structure.

  • We treated the persistent ruminative vomiting of a 13-year-old autistic boy by using a behavioral and psychopharmacological approach in a closed ward. Before the interventions, the patient had lost about 10kg of body weight due to very high-frequency ruminative vomiting. Together with psychopharmacological trials, the psychiatric treatment included a combination of a behavioral approach and food regulation that emphasized food restrictions, and we provided regular light meals. There was a considerable reduction of the ruminative vomiting and 2kg weight gain was achieved during the admission. These therapeutic gains were maintained at the 4-month follow-up assessment and the vomiting symptom reached a near-zero level and the weight loss were recovered by about 8kg. The issues related to the treatment approaches for ruminative vomiting with autism are discussed.

  • Liquid Zone Control System controls the power of heavy water reactor. Changing the level of each zone compartment regulates one local zone power of 14 zone powers, iud the level is limited less than 90% by the control algorithm to prevent the flood. In recent years, the level and the power was controlled oscillatory in the upper zones. To find out the condition of cycling, the zone control system was modelled with the linear difference equations and identified using parameter estimation. The pole-zero plot showed that the major pole was near the stability boundary, and the system had oscillatory characteristics in nature.

  • The effect of WO3 addition on microwave dielectric properties of BaTiO3-3{(1-x)TiO2-xWO3} system was studied. Addition of WO3 to this system resulted in the formation of BaWO4 and Ba2Ti9O20 phases. Both the dielectric constant (K) and the temperature coefficientof resonant frequency (Tf) were decreased with the amount of WO3 addition. The value of Q$\times$f0 was increased as the amount of WO3 was increased up to x=0.0275, and then decreased when x exceeded 0.03. At x=0.0275, this ceramic showed excellent microwave proprties of K=34-35, Q$\times$f0=50,000-53,000, and near zero ppm/$^{\circ}C$ of Tf.

  • Effects of sintering time upon the structures and microwave dielectric characteristics of co-substituted $Ba_{6-3x}$/S $m_{8+}$2x/ $Ti_{18}$ $O_{54}$ ceramics (x=2/3) were investigated. Prolonged sintering had significant effects upon the qf value and temperature coefficient, and a high Qf value (10,600 GHz) was obtained in the present ceramics combined with high-$\varepsilon$ (80) and near-zero temperature coefficient.t..
