It is an important issue to explore classroom environments which are conducive to developing students' mathematical performance. This study explores the effects of different classroom environments (solution-demand and corresponding-time setting) on mathematical performances. Fourteen and eighteen prospective teachers were required to prove a task under different conditions respectively: a) Cognitive demand of multiple-solution corresponding time of three hours, and b) Cognitive demand of a right solution corresponding time of 20 minutes. We used SOLO as the assessment tool for mathematical performance from quality perspective. Significant differences were found in the quantity and quality of mathematical performance. The regular environment focusing on speed and accuracy were found to be directly linked to low levels of performance. The findings above provide implications to the cognitive benefits of multiple-solution demand and corresponding time setting.

In this paper, we present the practical application of an Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) for an Indoor Mobile Localization System using ultrasonic sensors. It is true that many kinds of localization techniques have been researched for several years in order to contribute to the realization of a ubiquitous system; particularly, such a ubiquitous system needs a high degree of accuracy to be practical and efficient. Unfortunately, a number of localization systems for indoor space do not have sufficient accuracy to establish any special task such as precise position control of a moving target even though they require comparatively high developmental cost. Therefore, we developed an Indoor Mobile Localization System having high localization performance; specifically, the Unscented Kalman Filter is applied for improving the localization accuracy. In addition, we also present the additive filter named 'Pre-filtering' to compensate the performance of the estimation algorithm. Pre-filtering has been developed to overcome negative effects from unexpected external noise so that localization through the Unscented Kalman Filter has come to be stable. Moreover, we tried to demonstrate the performance comparison of the Unscented Kalman Filter and another estimation algorithm, such as the Unscented Particle Filter (UPF), through simulation for our system.

For evaluation of rotational accuracy performance of high speed machine tool spindle system, the characteristics of main spindle and tool motion behavior are presented by means of three point accuracy testing method. The results of experiments and analyses are as follows: (1) The high speed spindle rotational accuracy can be evaluated by the combination of the spindle and tool motion behavior. (2) The spindle motion behavior increases up to more that 4 times the tool motion behavior. (3) For the influence of oil viscosity on spindle and tool taper application, 32 cSt of oil viscosity showed the most satisfactory result for rotational accuracy. (4) In order to improve the rotational accuracy of high speed machine tool spindle system, it is needed to reduce the combination error. This can be achieved by improving the working accuracy and supplying the proper lubrication with contact area at the spindle and tool.

For a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, it is known that a Vector Delay Locked Loop (DLL) in which the code signals of each satellite are tracked in parallel by using navigation results shows better performance in the aspect of the tracking accuracy and the robustness than that of a Scalar DLL. However, the quantitative analysis and the logical grounds for that performance enhancement of the Vector DLL are not sufficient. This paper, therefore, proposes the structure of the GPS receiver with the Vector DLL and analyzes the performance of it. The tracking and the positioning accuracy of the Vector DLL are theoretically analyzed and confirmed by simulation results. From the simulation results, it can be seen that the tracking and positioning accuracy has been improved about 30% in case that the receiver is static and the positioning is conducted for every Pre-detection Integration Time (PIT) while C/N0 is 45 dB-Hz.

This research introduces the efficient modeling and manufacturing method using reverse engineering combined with rotational simulation of a pair of screw and mill-turn machining realized a proposed NC program. Because previously developed model had insufficient flow measuring accuracy, we considered that matter in the aspect of method of modeling and performance test. For that reason we modified the modeling which could minimize a gab between male and female screw, and developed precise tester which consists of constant tank, flowmeter and load cell, etc., and then conducted the test for defining characteristic and accuracy of flowmeter and repeated same test 5-times. Consequently we could obtain satisfied measuring accuracy and reproducibility indicated in the catalog of master model. Hence we give our conclusion as to the validity of developing accurate screw type flowmeter using the proposed process such as reverse engineering, mill-turn machining and precise performance test.

The present paper describes the results of performance analysis for UH-60A rotor blade in hover. For the numerical simulations, commercial CFD software, FLUENT was used with Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model. The flow solver was based on node based scheme and second order spatial accuracy options was used for simulations. For the enhancement of wake capturing capability, high resolution grid was used around tip vortex region. Granting that somewhat over-prediction of thrust was observed near blade tip region, performance was well correlated with experimental data within 3% accuracy in the operating region. Finally it was shown that the present flow solver can be used as a preliminary performance analysis tool for hovering helicopter rotor blades.

Heat rate is a representative index to estimate the performance of turbine cycle in nuclear power plant. Accuracy of heat rate calculation is dependent on the accuracy of measurement for plant status variables. Uncertainty of heat rate can be modeled using uncertainty propagation model. We developed practical estimation model of heat rate uncertainty using the propagation and regression model. The uncertainty model is used in the performance analysis system developed for the operating nuclear power plant.

In this paper, we propose a method to analyze measured data from 3D Laser tracking system and to enhance precision performance of a Cartesian robot. Position data are obtained over the stroke of a Cartesian robot with variable speeds. The measured data is need to model errors with several different sources. In general, the error is a function of part accuracy, assembly accuracy, temperature, and control etc. After the sources of errors are identified, they are used to enhance precision performance. The proposed method is more complete than others because we use very accurate 3D Laser tracking system.
