Selection of the Lagrangian multiplier is a key factor to determine the performance of Rate-Distortion Optimization (RDO) in video coding. JM, reference S/W of H.264, employs only one RDO model for all macroblock. However, since the characteristics of macroblocks are different, RDO model adaptive to their characteristics can give some performance improvement. In this paper, we propose an RDO algorithm adaptive to characteristics of macroblocks. We empirically obtain the optimal Lagrangian multipliers considering characteristics of macroblocks. For performance evaluation, the proposed method is applied to JM10.2 and, as a result, we have PSNR gain of 0.2dB on average.

Precession coefficient is defined by the ratio of the angular rate or rotational angle of the standing wave formed in an elastic resonator with respect to that of the platform. In this paper the precession of a hemispherical resonator due to Coriolis' effect is studied through Rayleigh-Ritz's method and Lagrangian Mechanics when the resonator undergoes Rayleigh's mode deformation. The calculation result was compared with studies by other researchers.

Three-dimensional structures of large ocean rings in the Gulf Stream region are investigated using the HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM). Numerically simulated flow structures around four selected cyclonic and anticyclonic rings are compared with two different horizontal resolutions: $1/12^{\circ}$ and $1/48^{\circ}$. The vertical distributions of Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCSs) are analyzed using Finite Size Lyapunov Exponent (FSLE) and Okubo-Weiss parameters (OW). Curtain-shaped FSLE ridges are found in all four rings with extensions of surface ridges throughout the water columns, indicating that horizontal stirring is dominant over vertical motions. Near the high-resolution rings, many small-scale flow structures with size O(1~10) km are observed while these features are rarely found near the low-resolution rings. These small-scale structures affect the flow pattern around the rings as flow particles move more randomly in the high-resolution models. The dispersion rates are also affected by these small-scale structures as the relative horizontal dispersion coefficients are larger for the high-resolution models. The absolute vertical dispersion rates are, however, lower for the high-resolution models, because the particles tend to move along inclined eddy orbits when the resolution is low and this increases the magnitude of absolute vertical dispersion. Since relative vertical dispersion can reduce this effect from the orbital trajectories of particles, it gives a more reasonable magnitude range than absolute dispersion, and so is recommended in estimating vertical dispersion rates.

We consider the throughput-maximization problem for both the up- and downlink in a wireless network with interference channels. For this purpose, we design an iterative and distributive uplink algorithm based on Lagrangian relaxation. Using the uplink power prices and network duality, we achieve throughput-maximization in the dual downlink that has a symmetric channel and an equal power budget compared to the uplink. The network duality we prove here is a generalized version of previous research [10], [11]. Computational tests show that the performance of the up- and downlink throughput for our algorithms is close to the optimal value for the channel orthogonality factor, ${\theta}{\in}$(0.5, 1]. On the other hand, when the channels are slightly orthogonal (${\theta}{\in}$(0, 0.5]), we observe some throughput degradation in the downlink. We have extended our analysis to the real downlink that has a nonsymmetric channel and an unequal power budget compared to the uplink. It is shown that the modified duality-based approach is thoroughly applied to the real downlink. Considering the complexity of the algorithms in [6] and [18], we conclude that these results are quite encouraging in terms of both performance and practical applicability of the generalized duality theorem.

Navier's and Finite element solutions based on the first-order shear deformation theory are presented for the analysis of through-thickness functionally graded plates and shells. The functionally graded materials are considered: a sigmoid function is utilized for the mechanical properties through the thickness of the isotropic structure which varies smoothly through the plate and shell thickness. The formulation of a nonlinear 9-node Element-based Lagrangian shell element is presented for the geometrically nonlinear analysis. Natural-coordinate-based strains are used in present shell element. Numerical results of the linear and nonlinear analysis are presented to show the effect of the different top/bottom elastic modulus, loading conditions, aspect ratios and side-to-thickness ratios on the mechanical behaviors. Besides, the result according to the variation of the power-law index of isotropic functionally graded structures is investigated.

The present study investigates numerically particle laden flow through compressor cascade. In general, a lot of turbine engines are affected by various particles which are suspending in the atmosphere. Especially in the case of aircraft aviating in volcanic, industrial and desert region including many particles, each components of engine system are damaged severely. That damage modes are erosion of compressor binding and rotor path components, partial or total blockage of cooling passage and engine control system degradation.. Initial damages can not be serious but cumulation of damages influences on safety of aircraft control and economical maintenance cost of engine system can be increased. When dust, materials and volcanic particles in the atmosphere flow in the compressor, it is necessary to predict damaged and deposited region of compressor blades. To the various flow inlet angle, predictions of particles trajectory in compressor cascade by Lagrangian method are presented and impulses by impaction of particles at blade surface are calculated. By the definition of particle deposition efficiency, characteristics of particles impact are considered quantitatively. With these prediction and experimental data, erosion rates are predicted for two materials - ceramic, soft metal - on compressor blade surface. Improvements like coating of blade surface could be found, by above prediction.
