In this paper, a novel low complexity linear receiver is proposed that is used at the receiver of MIMO systems. Zero-forcing (ZF) and minimum mean squared error (MMSE) receivers are common linear receivers. ZF receiver is simpler than MMSE receiver from the hardware implementation perspective, howerver, MMSE shows better performance than ZF. In general, MCS level changes according to channel condition. This paper shows the benefit of choosing between MMSE and ZF according to the selected MCS level. We implement the MCS-adaptive linear receiver as hardware, and show that its complexity is comparable to the conventional MMSE receiver.

The separation method using chiral stationary phase in preparation of chiral compound was wildly used, but in this work, supercritical fluid chromatography was suggested in the stability to resolve the chiral mixtures. To determine the optimum operating condition of the racemic ibuprofen, the retention factor and resolution with change in pressures, temperatures and the contents of IPA % (vol.) in CO$_2$ were investigated. The retention factor was decreased with increase in pressure and decrease in temperature. The factor was also influenced by the content of IPA in mobile phase, while the resolution was worse with a increase in IPA %. From the experimental results, the desirable separation condition was 130 bar, 311.15 K and 4% IPA in CO$_2$. Compared to the asymmetric peak shape by liquid chromatography, that of supercritical fluid chromatography was symmetric which was a favorable condition for preparative separation.

Noise predictive maximum likelihood(NPML) detector embeds noise predictions/ whitening process in branch metric calculation of Viterbi detector and improves the reliability of branch metric computation. Therefore, PRML detector with a noise predictor achieves some performance improvement and has an advantage of low complexity. This paper shows that NP(1221)ML system through noise predictive PR-equalized signal has less complexity and better performance than high order PR(12321)ML system in high density perpendicular magnetic recording. The simulation results are evaluated using (1) random sequence and (2) run length limited (1,7) sequence, and they are applied to linear channel and nonlinear channel with normalized linear density $1.0{\leq}K_p{\leq}3.0$.

In the analysis of the behavior of a complex structure, it requires much time and cost to analyze its behavior by using shell elements at the early design concept. For the purpose of the decrease of time and cost, many researches have been performed with the intention to analyze its behavior through replacing a shell model by a simple beam model. In the present study, a method is proposed for determining a bending spring stiffness which means the flexibility for applying into the joints of the simple beam model. Geometrically nonlinear analysis is performed through the application of the determined flexibility into joints of the simple beam model. The nonlinear behavior of thin-walled tube shell structure can be described within a little error through the simple beam model with flexible joints.

This paper discusses about real time control applying sliding mode to robot manipulators whose nonlinear terms, which are inertia term, Corilis term and centrifugal force mterm, are regarded as disturbances. We could simplify the dynamic equations of a manipulator and servo system, which are composed of linear elements and nonlinear elements, by assuming that non-linear terms are external disturbance. By simplifying that equation, we could easily obtain a control input which satisfy sliding mode. We proposed a new control input algorithm to decrease chattering in the application of sliding mode control of manipulator whose nonlinear elements are regarded as disturbances. We could take impulse response of linear elements of dynamic equations of a robot manipulator and servo system by Signal Compression Method. So then, we could obtain the unknown parametes of its linear lements, which are used to obtain switching parameter satisfying sliding mode, by Signal Compression Method. In this experiments, we used DSP(Digital Signal Processor) controller to suppress chattering by obtaining a switching speed and to carry out real time control.

This paper investigates the effect of 3-dimensional FE models to evaluation results of jointed concrete pavements which is back-calculated by AREA method. Sensitivity of 3-dimensional FE models developed to simulate the behavior of real jointed concrete pavement are analyzed after compared with 2-dimensional FE models using ILLISLAB. In comparison with 2-dimensional models, influence of concrete contraction under loading plate and base layer on surface deflections is more than that of loading configuration. Deflections at 3-dimensional model between linear and nonlinear temperature distribution under same temperature difference are similar, but noticeable differences are investigated in low elastic modulus of foundations. Dynamic deflections under loading plate are larger than static deflections in high elastic modulus of foundation, but smaller in low elastic modulus. Lower dynamic modulus of subgrade reactions are backcalculated by dynamic deflections than by static deflections. But reverse trend is investigated in the backcalculated elastic modulus of concrete which describes trends of the field backcalculation values calculated from AREA method.

Typical quadrotor aircraft use four differential thrust vectors to control the motion. In this study, we design a quadrotor aircraft using collective and cyclic control to improve the shortcomings of existing quadrotor aircraft. The quadrotor aircraft with cyclic control can fly at various attitudes due to the excessive control degrees of freedom. Hence the quadrotor aircraft with cyclic control is suitable as high performance aircraft. In this study, modeling and stability analysis of the quadrotor aircraft have been performed using FLIGHTLAB. LQR control systems were designed using linear models at various flight conditions and verified through nonlinear simulations using MATLAB.

The purpose of this study is to develop an automatic classification system for recommending appropriate books of 9 enneagram personality types, using book information data reviewed by librarians. Data used for this study are book review of 501 recommended titles for children and young adults from National Library for Children and Young Adults. This study is implemented on the assumption that most people prefer different types of books, depending on their preference or personality type. Performance test for two different types of machine learning models, nonlinear kernel and linear kernel, composed of 360 clustering models with 6 different types of index term weighting and feature selections, and 10 feature selection critical mass were experimented. It is appeared that LIBLINEAR has better performance than that of LibSVM(RBF kernel). Although the performance of the developed system in this study is relatively below expectations, and the high level of difficulty in personality type base classification take into consideration, it is meaningful as a result of early stage of the experiment.

Volume of concrete slab changes by temperature and moisture effects. At that time, tensile stress develops because the slab volume change is restrained by friction resistance between the slab and subbase, and then crack occurs occasionally. Accordingly, researchers have made efforts to figure out the friction characteristics between the slab and subbase by performing push-off tests. Lately, researches to analyze concrete pavement behavior by the friction characteristics have been performed by finite element method. In this study, The friction characteristics between the slab and subbase were investigated based on the friction test results for lean concrete, aggregate, and asphalt subase widely used in Korean concrete pavements. The energy method bilinearizing relation between nonlinear friction resistance and displacement were suggested. The friction test was modeled by 3-D finite element program, ABAQUS, and the model was verified by comparing the analyzed results to the test results. The bilinear model developed by the energy method was validated by comparing analysis results obtained by using the nonlinear and bilinear friction resistance displacement relation as input data. A typical Korean concrete pavement was modeled by ABAQUS and EverFE and analyzed results were compared to evaluate applicability of the bilinear model.

In this study, the effect of an insulation coating on the start time of a linear region is theoretically investigated when an insulation-coated hot-wire is used for the transient hot-wire method (THWM). For this purpose, important parameters affecting the start time of the linear region are presented from an analytical solution of temperature-rise for an insulation-coated hot-wire. Furthermore, a critical time to ignore the influence of important parameters is studied. The theoretical results indicate that the effect of the insulation coating rapidly disappears with a decrease in the wire radius, coating thickness, thermal diffusivity of insulation material or an increase in the thermal conductivity of the insulation material. The results of this study will be helpful for selecting a proper start time of the linear region for the THWM using insulation-coated hot-wires.
