The control of a linear system with random coefficients is discussed here. The cost function is of a quadratic form and the random coefficients are assumed to be completely observable by the controller. Stochastic Process involved in the problem by the controller. Stochastic Process involved in the problem formulation is presented to be the unique strong solution to the corresponding stochastic differential equations. Condition for the optimal control is represented through the existence of solution to a Cauchy problem for the given nonlinear partial differential equation. The optimal control is shown to be a linear function of the states and a nonlinear function of random parameters.

A new emotion-based image retrieval method is proposed in this paper. The research was motivated by Soen's evaluation of human emotion on color patterns. Thirteen pairs of adjective words expressing emotion pairs such as like-dislike, beautiful-ugly, natural-unnatural, dynamic-static, warm-cold, gay-sober, cheerful-dismal, unstablestable, light-dark, strong-weak, gaudy-plain, hard-soft, heavy-light are modeled by 19-dimensional color array and $4{\times}3$ gray matrix in off-line. Once the query is presented in text format, emotion model-based query formulation produces the associated color array and gray matrix. Then, images related to the query are retrieved from the database based on the multiplication of color array and gray matrix, each of which is extracted from query and database image. Experiments over 450 images showed an average retrieval rate of 0.61 for the use of color array alone and an average retrieval rate of 0.47 for the use of gray matrix alone.

The use of passive microwave data for estimating sea-ice thickness is limited by strong dependence of emissivity on near-surface brine. However, this particular characteristic becomes a basis for an algorithm to estimate thickness of thin sea-ice if a thickness-salinity-emissivity relationship is established. This study aims at developing an algorithm to estimate sea ice thickness on the basis of this relationship. In order to establish a thickness-salinity-emissivity relationship, we have conducted multi-platform synchronous observations in the Sea of Okhotsk. We note a positive relationship between thickness and brightness temperature. From observations, we also establish an empirical relationship between salinity and emissivity, thus between thickness and brightness temperature. The derived relationship is qualitatively similar to the one based on Hoekstra and Cappillino's formulation. Our results suggest that for thin sea-ice in the winter period there is potential to develop an algorithm to estimate sea-ice thickness.

In this paper, the Poisson's equation is solved two-dimensionally without employing any fitting parameters, and the model formulation of a short-channel MOSFET is accomplished fully analytically. It automatically derives a very accurate drain current expression that can be used simultaneously for strong inversion, subthreshold, and saturation regions. Furthermore, this model gives a unified explanation for the short-channel effect, the body effect, the DIBL effect, and even the variation of the effective carrier mobility. The obtained expression of the threshold voltage also includes the dependence on the oxide thickness, the n+ junction depth, and temperature.

A state space differential reproducing kernel (DRK) method is developed for the three-dimensional (3D) analysis of functionally graded material (FGM) axisymmetric circular plates with simply-supported and clamped edges. The strong formulation of this 3D elasticity axisymmetric problem is derived on the basis of the Reissner mixed variational theorem (RMVT), which consists of the Euler-Lagrange equations of this problem and its associated boundary conditions. The primary field variables are naturally independent of the circumferential coordinate, then interpolated in the radial coordinate using the early proposed DRK interpolation functions, and finally the state space equations of this problem are obtained, which represent a system of ordinary differential equations in the thickness coordinate. The state space DRK solutions can then be obtained by means of the transfer matrix method. The accuracy and convergence of this method are examined by comparing their solutions with the accurate ones available in the literature.

In this paper we deal with linear chance-constrained optimization problems, a class of problems which naturally arise in practical applications in finance, engineering, transportation and scheduling, where decisions are made in presence of uncertainty. After giving the deterministic equivalent formulation of a linear chance-constrained optimization problem we construct a conjugate dual problem to it. Then we provide for this primal-dual pair weak sufficient conditions which ensure strong duality. In this way we generalize some results recently given in the literature. We also apply the general duality scheme to a portfolio optimization problem, a fact that allows us to derive necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for it.

The accuracy of turbulence models for the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations in rough-wall flows is evaluated using data from large-eddy simulations (LES) of boundary layers with favourable and adverse pressure gradients. Some features of the flow (such as flow reversal in the roughness sublayer) cannot be captured accurately by any model, due to the fundamental model formulation. In mild pressure gradients most RANS models are sufficiently accurate for engineering applications, but if strong favourable or adverse pressure gradients are applied (especially those leading to separation) the model performance rapidly degrades.

The meanings, classification, and regulatory status of 'natural food colorants' are discussed. Nowadays the technological advances for processing Cochineal color is flourishing here and aboard, makes highly concentrated products (e.g., 95% Carminic acid) is comercially available. Application of carminic acid for a food system needs target-specific formulation, mixing with alumn, tartaric acid, and other salts to stabilize the color hue in food system. On the other hand, carmine, the aluminium-lake of carminic acid, is more convenient product to be used and would give more strong color. Of these reasons Carmine is much popular product than Cochineal extract in Western and European countries. We insist that carmine should be also certified as natural colorant together with Cochineal extract in Korea. Authors expect that several kinds of anthraquinone colorant (Lac and Kermes) would be introduced in Korean market in near furture.

The chitinase-producing bacterial strain C-1 is one of the key chitinase-producing biocontrol agents used for effective bioformulations for biological control. These bioformulations are mixed cultures of various chitinolytic bacteria. However, the precise identification, biocontrol activity, and the underlying mechanisms of the strain C-1 have not been investigated so far. Therefore, we evaluated in planta biocontrol efficacies of C-1 and determined the draft genome sequence of the strain in this study. The bacterial C-1 strain was identified as a novel Serratia sp. by a phylogenic analysis of its 16S rRNA sequence. The Serratia sp. C-1 bacterial cultures showed strong in planta biocontrol efficacies against some major phytopathogenic fungal diseases. The draft genome sequence of Serratia sp. C-1 indicated that the C-1 strain is a novel strain harboring a subset of genes that may be involved in its biocontrol activities.

Both electrogalvanized and hot-dip galvanized steel sheets have been finally produced via organic-inorganic surface coating process on the zinc surface to enhance corrosion resistance and afford additional functional properties. Recently, POSCO has been developed a variety of chromate-free coated steels that are widely used in household, construction and automotive applications. New organic-inorganic hybrid coating solutions as chromate alternatives are comprised of surface modified silicate with silane coupling agent and inorganic corrosion inhibitors as an aqueous formulation. In this paper we have prepared new type of hybrid coatings and evaluated quality performances such as corrosion resistance, spot weldability, thermal tolerance, and paint adhesion property etc. The electrogalvanized steels with these coating solutions exhibit good anti-corrosion property compared to those of chromate coated steels. Detailed components composition of coating solutions and experimental results suggest that strong binding between organic-inorganic hybrid coating layer and zinc surface plays a key role in the advanced quality performances.
