The effects of dissolved oxy-gen(DO) concentration and DO control modes on cell growth in a 4L computer-controlled bioreactor system were investigated using Phellinus linteus WI-001, a producer of protein-polysaccharides having potent anticancer activi-ties. When DO was controlled at about 20%, maximum cell concentration and specific growth rate of the strain were observed to increase 36% and 64%, respectively, as compared to the experiment performed without DO control. By adopting cascade automatic control of DO ar 20% in a mixed automatic control mode using computer-con-trolled program, 19.5g/L of maximum cell concentration was obtained. These results showed that the mixed auto-matic control mode was the effective method for enhancing cell growth of the shear sensitive Phellinus linteus.

The stability of machine tool systems is analyzed by considering the machining process as a stochastic process without decomposing into machine tool structural dynamics and cutting processes. In doing so the time series analysis technique developed by Wu and Pandit is applied systematically to the relative vibration between cutting tool and work- piece measured under actual working conditions. Various characteristic properties derived from the fitted ARMA(Autoregressive Moving Average) Models and those from raw data directly are investigated in relation with the system stability. Both damping ratio and absolute value of the characteristic roots of the AR part of the most significant dynamic mode are preferred as stability indicating factors to the other pro-perties such as theoretical variance .gamma. (o) or absolute power of the most dominant dynamic mode. Maximum aplitude during a certain interval and variance estimated from raw data are shown to be very sensi- tive to the type of the signal and the location of measurement point although they can be obtained rather easily. The relative vibration signal is also analyzed by FFT(Fast Fourier Transform) Analyzer for the purpose of comparison with the spectrums derived from the fitted ARMA models.

A seismic analysis is one of crucial design procedures of an axial blower used in nuclear power Plants. The blower should be operated even in ar emergency such as an earthquake. The blower should be designed in order to stand against an earthquake. For the seismic analysis, Ive perform the modal analysis and then evaluate the required response spectrum (PRS) from the given floor response spectrum (FRS). A finite element model of the blower is established by using a commercial FEM code of ANSYS. After the finite element modeling. the natural frequencies. the mode shapes and the participation factors are obtained from the modal analysis. The PRS is acquired by a numerical approach on the basis of the principle of mode superposition. We verify the structura safety of the axial blower and confirm the validity of the present seismic analysis results.

Holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystals (HPDLCs) have fabricated by irradiating an Ar-ion laser ( ${\lambda}$=514nm) at various intensity on LC/acrylate monomer mixtures which were sandwitched between two ITO coated glass plates. Monomer systems were composed of dipentaerythritol-hydroxy penta acrylate (DPHPA, f=5)/monofunctional acrylate monofunctional monomers. The LC used in this system was E7 (BL001, Merck). Gratings were fabricated by periodic interference of twobeams. Reflection efficiency-irradiation intensity-monomer type relationships were obtained from the UV-visible spectra of the HPDLC films. Peaks were found at a bit smaller wavelength than 514nm, due to the shrinkage of mixture volume upon polymerization. Real time measurements of diffraction efficiency have been obtained according to monomer types and LC contents.

Holographic transmission gratings were performed by an Ar-laser( ${\lambda}$=514nm) intensity, the ratio fo LC contents to the surfactant. The addition of the surfactant to the LC and pre-polymer systems causes the droplet to maintain the ideal size at the high fraction(over 40wt%) of the LC contents that induce the films to be fabricated with high diffraction efficiency than that of no surfactant series. The image of these films was examined using a charge coupled device (CCD). We also studied the angular selectivity plots which support the important role in the multiplexer channel (MUX). Eventually, we showed the reconstructive optical image recorded in this transmission mode of HPDLCs.

Laser beam welding parameters have experimentally investigated, using a continuous wave 3kW $CO_2$ laser with the various travel speeds, beam mode and laser beam power in low carbon steels. An optimum position of focus and the effect of shielding gas on penetration depth with varying the flow range of 0.5 to 5.1m/min have been combined to investigate the effect of laser power and travel speed on penetration depth and bead width. It is found that the optimum position of focus in 3kW class laser is 0.5 to 1.5mm below the surface of the material. The flow rate of shielding gas affects the penetration depth and He is more effective than Ar. The penetration depth in laser welds of low carbon steels is between two and four times of the bead width. Laser beam welding of butt joints in 2mm thick carbon steel has been carried out to establish a weldability lobe. The lobe indicating acceptable welding conditions is introduced.

A bio-inspired two-mode structural health monitoring (SHM) system based on the Na$\ddot{i}$ve Bayes (NB) classification method is discussed in this paper. To implement the molecular biology based Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) array concept in structural health monitoring, which has been demonstrated to be superior in disease detection, two types of array expression data have been proposed for the development of the SHM algorithm. For the micro-vibration mode, a two-tier auto-regression with exogenous (AR-ARX) process is used to extract the expression array from the recorded structural time history while an ARX process is applied for the analysis of the earthquake mode. The health condition of the structure is then determined using the NB classification method. In addition, the union concept in probability is used to improve the accuracy of the system. To verify the performance and reliability of the SHM algorithm, a downscaled eight-storey steel building located at the shaking table of the National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering (NCREE) was used as the benchmark structure. The structural response from different damage levels and locations was collected and incorporated in the database to aid the structural health monitoring process. Preliminary verification has demonstrated that the structure health condition can be precisely detected by the proposed algorithm. To implement the developed SHM system in a practical application, a SHM prototype consisting of the input sensing module, the transmission module, and the SHM platform was developed. The vibration data were first measured by the deployed sensor, and subsequently the SHM mode corresponding to the desired excitation is chosen automatically to quickly evaluate the health condition of the structure. Test results from the ambient vibration and shaking table test showed that the condition and location of the benchmark structure damage can be successfully detected by the proposed SHM prototype system, and the information is instantaneously transmitted to a remote server to facilitate real-time monitoring. Implementing the bio-inspired two-mode SHM practically has been successfully demonstrated.

$CO_2$ gas shielded arc welding has been characterized with its harsh arc compared to Ar-based shielding gases and with its high level of spattere specially in welding current range of 250~300 amperes. In this range of welding current, the metal transfer mode showed to be changed from short circuit to globular with the increase of welding voltage resulting in so-called the transitional mode in which both modes of transfer appeared together. To characterize the transitional mode, the short circuit events were divided into two groups, i.e. normal short circuit (N.S.C) which has short circuit time $(t_s)$ over 2msec and instantaneous short circuit (I.S.C) of $t_s$$\leq$2msec. The experimental results showed that the number of N.S.C decreased almost linearly with the increase of welding voltage and appeared to be not related with spatter generation rate. However I.S.C became to be pronounced in the transitional condition and its number reached the maximum value at around 29.0 volts. Considering the relation with the spatter generation rate, it was found that the number of I.S.C had a very strong correlation with the spatter generation rate of the transitional condition. It was further demonstrated that spatter generation rate decreased quite linearly with the decrease of I.S.C frequency. It implies that I.S.C is the most important waveform factor controlling the spatter generation of the transitional mode, i.e. in the middle range of welding current. Based on these results, It was discussed that in the transitional mode the basic concept of waveform control for suppressing spatter generation would be different from the one applied for typical short circuit transfer mode of low welding current.

The abnormal behavior of the argon metastable density during the E-H mode transition in argon ICP discharge was investigated. Lots of investigations including global models expected that during and after the mode transition of ICP discharge, the density of metastable increases with applied rf power (i.e. electron density). However, recent direct measurement of metastable density revealed that the metastable density of argon decreases with the applied power during and after the mode transition. This result may not be explained by the previous global model which is based on the assumption of the Maxwellian electron energy distribution function (EEDF). In this paper, to explain this abnormal behavior with simple manners, a simple global model taking account of the effect of the non-Maxwellian EEDFs incorporating into a set of coupled rate equations is proposed. The result showed that the calculated metastable density taking account of non-Maxwellian EEDF and its evolution during the transition has an abnormal behavior with electron density and is in good agreement with the previous measurement results, indicating the close coupling of electron kinetics and the behavior of metastable density. The proposed simple model is expected to provide qualitative kinetic insight to understand the behavior of the metastable density in various plasma discharges which typically exhibit non-Maxwellian distribution.

This study investigates the effects of aspect ratio (transport length-to-width) on diffusive-convection for physical vapor transport processes of $Hg_2Cl_2-NO$ system. For a system with the temperature difference of 20 K between an interface at the source material region and growing crystal interface, the linear temperature profiles at walls, the total molar fluxes at Ar = 2 are much greater than Ar = 5 as well as the corresponding nonuniformities in interfacial distributions due to the effect of convection. The maximum total molar flux at the gravitational acceleration of 1 $g_0$ is greater twice than at the level of 0.1 $g_0$, where g0 denotes the gravitational acceleration on earth. With increasing aspect ratio from 2 to 5, a diffusive-convection mode is transited into the diffusion mode, and then the strength of diffusion is predominant over the strength of diffusive-convection.
