  • In this paper, the probability that a given point is covered by a random convex hull generated by independent and identically-distributed random points in a plane is studied. It is shown that such probability can be expressed in terms of an integral that can be approximated numerically by function-evaluations over the grid-points in a 2-dimensional space. The new integral representation allows such probability be computed efficiently. The computational burdens under the proposed integral representation and those in the existing literature are compared. The proposed method is illustrated through numerical examples where the random points are drawn from (i) uniform distribution over a square and (ii) bivariate normal distribution over the two-dimensional Euclidean space. The applications of the proposed method in statistics are are discussed.

  • Three-dimensional compressible turbulent flow fields within the passage of a diffusing S-duct have been simulated by solving the Navier-Stokes equations with SIMPLE scheme. The average inlet Mach number is 0.6 and the Reynolds number based on the inlet diameter is $1.76{\times}10^6$ The extended $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model is applied to modeling the Reynolds stresses. Computed results of the flow in a circular diffusing S-duct provide an understanding of the flow structure within a typical engine inlet system. These are compared with experimental wall static-pressure, total-pressure fields, and secondary velocity profiles. Additionally, boundary layer thickness, skin friction values, and streamlines in the symmetric plane are presented. The computed results depict the interaction between the low energy flow by the flow separation and the high energy flow by the reversed duct curvature. The computed results obtained using the extended $k-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model.

  • In this paper, the static behavior of bi-directional functionally graded (FG) non-uniform thickness circular plate resting on quadratically gradient elastic foundations (Winkler-Pasternak type) subjected to axisymmetric transverse and in-plane shear loads is carried out by using state-space and differential quadrature methods. The governing state equations are derived based on 3D theory of elasticity, and assuming the material properties of the plate except the Poisson's ratio varies continuously throughout the thickness and radius directions in accordance with the exponential and power law distributions. The stresses and displacements distribution are obtained by solving state equations. The effects of foundation stiffnesses, material heterogeneity indices, geometric parameters and loads ratio on the deformation and stress distributions of the FG circular plate are investigated in numerical examples. The results are reported for the first time and the new results can be used as a benchmark solution for future researches.

  • Ground track manintenance maneuver simulations for the KOMPSAT spacecraft are performed for three and half years. Both longitude targeting and time targeting strate-gies are applied for in-plane maneuvers. The nominal longitude bands of maneuvers for $\pm5km$ and $\pm10km$ are applied for the longitude targeting and the 21-day maneuver time duration is used for the time targeting. Daily solar flux values for the simulation period are derived from the previous solar cycle values. Atmospheric drag formula for the KOMPSAT orbit altitude is derived from Jacchia model using polynomial and sinusoidal curve fitting. Total required delta velocity and proper time between successive maneuvers are estimated during ground track maintenance maneuver simulations.

  • KARI (Korea Aerospace Research Institute) is going to launch a Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite (COMS) at summer of 2009. It will be first thing to be developed for a geostationary satellite through domestic technology. Of course, KARI has performed this development program with EADS Astrium in France since 2005. COMS has the non-symmetric configuration that the solar array is only attached on the south panel. Due to the configuration, momentum of satellite will be rapidly accumulated induced by solar pressure and then 3 wheels of large momentum are located on roll-yaw plane for attitude control. Therefore, to prevent the saturation of wheel momentum, wheel off-loading will be performed two times per day during 10 minutes for each one. At the moment, translation movement on 3-axes direction appears because of using thrusters. In this paper, strategy of the wheel off-loading and triaxiality which is the translation effect on 3-axes are introduced. Consequently, the result of optimized triaxiality considering the wheel off-loading strategy is summarized.

  • Propagation of the generalized Rayleigh waves in an elastic half-space covered by an elastic layer for different initial stress combinations and imperfect contact conditions is investigated. Three-dimensional linearized theory of elastic waves in initially stressed bodies in plane-strain state is employed, the corresponding dispersion equation is derived and an algorithm is developed for numerical solution to this equation. Numerical results on the influence of the initial stress patterns and on the influence of the contact conditions are presented and discussed. The case where the external forces are "follower forces" is considered as well. These investigations provide some theoretical foundations for the study of the near-surface waves propagating in layered mechanical systems and can be successfully used for estimation of the degree of the bonded defects between layers, fault characteristics and study of the behavior of seismic surface waves propagating under the bottom of the oceans.

  • The effect of relaxation times is studied on plane waves propagating through semiconductor half-space medium by using the eigen value approach. The bounding surface of the half-space is subjected to a heat flux with an exponentially decaying pulse and taken to be traction free. Solution of the field variables are obtained in the form of series for a general semiconductor medium. For numerical values, Silicon is considered as a semiconducting material. The results are represented graphically to assess the influences of the thermal relaxations times on the plasma, thermal, and elastic waves.

Also, there exists requirements on performance to support realtime navigation capability.In this paper, therefore, we propose a cell loading algorithm for navigating virtual space that can support realtime visualization according to the multimedia objects in variety and the change of the view point by user, and that can accommodate the capacity imposed in the process of navigation regardless of the number of objects.

  • Let $H(\mathbb{D})$ denote the class of all analytic functions on the open unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ of the complex plane $\mathbb{C}$. Let n be a nonnegative integer, ${\varphi}$ be an analytic self-map of $\mathbb{D}$ and $u{\in}H(\mathbb{D})$. The generalized weighted composition operator is defined by $$D_{{\varphi},u}^nf=uf^{(n)}{\circ}{\varphi},\;f{\in}H(\mathbb{D})$$. The boundedness and compactness of the generalized weighted composition operator from area Nevanlinna spaces to weighted-type spaces and little weighted-type spaces are characterized in this paper.

  • The author analyzed the morphological pattern of mandibles and lower third molars in order to study and predict the impaction of the developmental third molars. The subjects consisted of 37 males and 87 females with malocclusion. The following results were obtained: 1. The mandible was shown to be shorter in the impacted third molar group than in the erupted group, both in over-all length and in body length. 2. The developmental mesial angulation of the third molar to the mandibular plane was higher in the impacted third molar group. 3. There was a tendency for impacted third molars to be slightly larger than those which erupted except Class II malocclusion in female. 4. In the available space for the eruption of the third molar, significant space deficiency was found in association with the impacted third molar group compared with the erupted group.
