Traditional beam connections to the minor axis of a column have relatively low strength and stiffness. A modified detail, using a plate welded between the toes of the column flange - referred to as a toe plate connection - is examined in this paper. The results of an experimental investigation for both flush and extended end-plate connections connected to a 25 mm thick end-plate are presented. The tests are complemented by finite element modelling which compares very well with the test observations. The results show a significant increase in both moment resistance and initial stiffness for this connection detail compared with connections made directly to the column web. This offers the prospect of more optimal solutions taking advantage of partial strength frame design for the minor axis as well as major axis.

The electro-optic polarization transmission characteristics of a liquid crystal (LC) cell is represented by a rotational transformation on the Poincare sphere, and its characteristic parameters, the angle and the axis of the rotation, are experimentally determined with respect to the voltage applied to the LC cell. From the experimental data obtained, we determine driving voltage for the LC cell to give the rotation angle near $180^{\circ}$ of the rotation for the change of the state of the LC cell from non-select to select state, which is a necessary condition for the realization of maximally bright images. The directions of the transmission axes of the polarizer and the analyzer which form a liquid crystal display panel together with the LC cell, are determined from the general characteristics of the rotaional transformation of the LC cell. cell.

Turbo-charger noise radiated from air intake part is one of the most important noise sources in diesel power plant. In this paper, intake noise control of the diesel power plant was studied using parallel baffle type silencer and concentric hole-cavity resonator simultaneously. Firstly, acoustical characteristics and attenuation performance for parallel baffle type silencer were investigated through theoretical approach and experimental method. Based on the results, optimal design of the parallel baffle silencer was suggested. Secondly, for reducing the low frequency noise contained in the intake noise, the concentric hole-type resonator was developed and the acoustic performance was verified from the test. By combining two types of silencers, it is expected that the overall insertion loss is about 50 dB. So, the combined silencer is very helpful in reducing the intake noise of diesel power plant.

In this paper, we propose a new HDFS-AIO framework to enhance HDFS with Adaptive I/O System (ADIOS), which supports many different I/O methods and enables applications to select optimal I/O routines for a particular platform without source-code modification and re-compilation. First, we customize ADIOS into a chunk-based storage system so its API semantics can fit the requirement of HDFS easily; then, we utilize Java Native Interface (JNI) to bridge HDFS and the tailored ADIOS. We use different I/O patterns to compare HDFS-AIO and the original HDFS, and the experimental results show the design feasibility and benefits. We also examine the performance of HDFS-AIO using various I/O techniques. There have been many studies that use ADIOS, however our research is expected to help in expanding the function of HDFS.

The Experimental results of the in-line type inertance tube pulse tube cryocooler for cooling superconductor RF filter are presented in this paper. The pulse tube refrigerator, which has no moving parts at its cold section, is attractive in obtaining higher reliability, simpler construction, and lower vibration than any other small refrigerators. The purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics of in-line type inertance tube pulse tube refrigerator (IPTR), and to get main factor to improve the performance of the in-line type IPTR. Firstly, design parameters of the in-line IPTR are discussed by ARCOPTR program, and then to find optimal conditions of in-line type IPTR, cool down characteristics according to the variations of the charging pressure, inertance tube volume, regenerator volume and pulse tube volume are measured by the experiment. The lowest temperature of the cold end was about 50 K. Cooling capacity was the highest in the charging pressure of 32 atm. and 5W at 72K. On the other hand, COP of the in-line type IPTR was the highest in the charging pressure of 21 atm. and 0.018 at 77K.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the effect of the Internet diabetic education on plasma glucose in people with hyperglycemic diabetes. Method: A randomized design with control and experimental groups being assessed pre- and post-intervention was used. Twenty-two patients were randomly assigned to an intervention group and 21 to a control group. Participants were requested to input the blood glucose level weekly in http://www.biodang.com by cellular phone or wire Internet for 3 months. The researcher sends optimal recommendations to each patient using short message service(SMS) of cellular phone and wire Internet weekly. Results: Patients in the intervention group had a mean decrease of 1.3% in glycosylated haemoglobin ($HbA_1c$) levels and those in the control group had no significant difference. There was a significant mean change in 2-hour postprandial blood glucose(2HPPG) for the intervention group, with a mean change of-75.2mg/dl. The mean change in the control group was, however, not significant. Conclusion: These findings indicated that a web-based intervention using SMS of cellular phone improved $HbA_1c$ and 2HPPG.

In the paper, the product-type PLL system, which is so suitable for synchronizing a single phase grid voltage is designed. The PLL system is modelled with the small signal analysis. Both the cut-off frequency of low pass filter and the optimal gain are derived by considering the transient response for synchronization as well as a distortion of synchronization signal. Through the simulation studies and experimental results, the transient response and ripple component of synchronization signal are investigated with a variation of both the cut-off frequency and gain in order to verify the performance of design.

This paper presents an energy efficient MAC protocol for delay-sensitive data transmission over wireless sensor network. In general, energy consumption and delay depend on Channel Monitoring Interval and data sensing period at each sensor node. Based on this fact, we propose a new preamble structure to effectively advertise Channel Monitoring Interval and avoid the overhearing problem. In order to pursue an effective tradeoff between energy consumption and delay, we also develop a Channel Monitoring Interval determining algorithm that searches for a sub-optimal solution with a low computational complexity. Finally, experimental results are provided to compare the proposed MAC protocol with existing sensor MAC protocols.
