This paper describes effects of incidence angle on the wake turbulent flow of a high-turning turbine rotor blade. For three incidence angles of -5, 0 and 5 degrees, energy spectra as well as profiles of mean velocity magnitude and turbulence intensity at mid-span are reported in the wake. Vortex shedding fiequencies are obtained from the energy spectra. The result shows that as the incidence angle changes from -5 to 5 degrees, the suction-side wake tends to be widened and the deviation angle is increased. Strouhal numbers based on the shedding fiyequencies have a nearly constant value, regardless of the tested incidence angles.

We have investigated the generation of pretilt angle and alignment stability for a nematic liquid crystal (NLC) with obliquely polarized UV exposure on the three kinds of photo-polymer. High pretilt angle of the NLC was obtained by polarized UV exposure on a PM4Ch surface for 1 min. But, the low pretilt angle of he NLC on a PVCi surface was observed. The pretilt angle generated is attributed ot the photosensitivity by the long side chaining of photo-polymer. Also, a good thermal stability of the three kinds of photo-polymer were obtained by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) measurement until 300$^{\circ}C$. Finally, the good LC aligning capabilities using the photodimerization method were observed by annealing-treatment until 150$^{\circ}C$.

The effect of incidence angle on the endwall heat (mass) transfer characteristics within a turbine rotor cascade passage has been investigated by employing the naphthalene sublimation technique. The experiments are carried out at the Reynolds number of $2.78{\times}10^5$ for two incidence angles of -5 and 5 dog. The result shows that the incidence angle has a considerable influence on the transport phenomena over the endwall. The positive incidence angle tends to promote development of the pressure-side leg of a leading-edge horseshoe vortex. The endwall thermal load is augmented by 7.5 percents at i = -5 deg but is reduced by 2.5 percents at i = 5 deg, in comparison with that at the design condition.

Information of the lateral velocity and the sideslip angle in a vehicle is very useful in many active vehicle safety applications such as yaw stability control and rollover prevention. Because cost-effective sensors to measure the lateral velocity and the sideslip angle are not available, reliable algorithms to estimation them are necessary. In this paper, a sliding mode observer is designed to estimate the lateral velocity. The side slip angle is estimated using the recursive least square with the disturbance observer and the pseudo integral. The estimated parameters from the combined estimation method are updated recursively to minimize the discrepancy between the model and the physical plant, and any possible effects caused by disturbances. The performance of the proposed monitoring system is evaluated through simulations and experiments.

A clinical evaluation was made on teeth in 113 subjects from ages 19 to 23 with Angle's Class I occlusion who were free from prosthesis, orthodontics, and occlusal equilibration. The study was made to determine if there was a relation between the type of occlusion, non-working contact and temporomandibular dysfunction. From the foregoing study, the author obtained the following results. 1. In lateral excursion, there was not any significant difference between bilateral canine protected occlusion (31%), bilateral group function (32.7%), and mixed type (34.5%). 2. Only 10 of 113 subjects studied had non-working side tooth contacts (8.2 per cent). 3. Twenty per cent of subjects with non-working side contact showed temporomandibular joint dysfunction. 4. Non-working side contacts were not observed in subjects with canine guided occlusion. 5. It would be premature to relate the type of occlusion on working side directly to temporomandibular joint dysfunction.

In this study, for a safety assessment of wheelchair occupant in side impact, we used a dynamic sled impact test results. The test was carried out total 6 times and impact speed was 13g$\pm$0.43/28km/h$\pm$0.95, By using EURO SID-1 dummy, head performance criteria(HPC), abdominal peak force, etc. were measured. We evaluated wheelchair occupant safety by motion criteria(MC) which was measured by head, trunk and side deformation change of wheelchair and Head & Neck injury criteria(HNI) measured by using head and neck deformation angle and time relation. When we assumed that the maximum injury value in side impact was 100%, the results of motion criteria(MC) of wheelchair occupant were max 80.3, mim 32.3 and average 60.3%, Head & Neck injury criteria(HNI) value were max 118.4, min 14.5 and average 59.7%.

We investigated the transcription of liquid crystal (LC) alignment method by using memory effect of nematic (N) LC on polyimide (PI) surface with side chain as for non-rubbing alignment techniques. That the monodomain alignment of aligned NLC is observed by polarizing microscope textures in the cells on PI surface with side chain, We obtained that the pretilt angle of NLC are generated about 3.7 degree on PI surface. We suggest that the LC alignment by using transcription aligngnment method is attributed to memory effect of NLC on PI surface.

This paper reports a side-coupled asymmetric $1{\times}2$ plastic optical fiber coupler for an optical sensor system. The dependence of the optical power coupling ratio on the coupling angle and refractive index of the adhesion layer in both the forward and backward directions was examined based on the geometrical optics. It was confirmed experimentally that the coupling ratios can be optimized by controlling the coupling angle and refractive index of the adhesion layer. A maximum forward coupling efficiency > 93% was achieved.

In establishing artificial fences in a certain locality, type of its area or wind blown against them from the front side is primarily considered. Researchers on fences also concentrate on upstream, wand blown against them from the front side In 90$^{\circ}$ angle. In this research, simulations were carried out on the direction of wind changed by each season, and regardless of seasonal wind, on the fences effect of wind direction on fences, throu호 an atmospheric boondary layer wind tunnel. When I compared the velocity distribution of upstream against the fences in 90$^{\circ}$ angle with that of 75$^{\circ}$, 60$^{\circ}$, and 45$^{\circ}$ respectively, the velocity distribution at downstream of the latter cases generally surpassed that of the former one.

Dynamic behavior of immiscible gas bubble attached to the wall in channel flow plays very important role in many engineering applications. Special attention has been paid to micro direct methanol fuel cell(${\mu}$DMFC) where surface tension becomes dominant factor with minor gravitational effect due to its reduced size. Therefore, displacement of $CO_2$ bubble generating on a cathode side in ${\mu}$DMFC can be very difficult and efficient removal of $CO_2$ bubbles will affect the overall machine performance considerably. We have focused our efforts on studying the dynamic behavior of immiscible bubble attached to the one side of the wall on 2D rectangular channel subject to external shear flow. We used Level Contour Reconstruction Method(LCRM) which is the simplified version of front tracking method to track the bubble interface motion. Effects of Reynolds number, Weber number, advancing/receding contact angle and property ratio on bubble detachment characteristic has been numerically identified.
