In this article, experimental training of the commercial available shape memory alloy fibre (SMA) fibre under the combined thermomechanical loading is reported. SMA has the ability to sense a small change in temperature (${\geq}10^{\circ}C$) and activated under the external loading and results in shape change. The thermomechanical characteristics of SMA at different temperature and mechanical loading are obtained through an own lab-scale experimental setup. The analysis is conducted for two types of the medium using the liquid nitrogen (cold cycle) and the hot water (heat cycle). The experimental data indicate that SMA act as a normal wire for Martensite phase and activated behavior i.e., regain the original shape during the Austenite phase only. To improve the confidence of such kind of behavior has been verified by inspecting the composition of the wire. The study reveals interesting conclusion i.e., while SMA deviates from the equiatomic structure or consist of foreign materials (carbon and oxygen) except nickel and titanium may affect the phase transformation temperature which shifted the activation phase temperature. Also, the grain structure distortion of SMA wire has been examined via the scanning electron microscope after the thermomechanical cycle loading and discussed in details.

The most important feature of the one-cycle control method is its excellent ability in line disturbance rejection. However, when it is used as a controller in dc-dc converters, it has an undesirable transient response. The voltage overshoot at the transient time, which usually exists in one-cycle controlled converters, is unwanted in many applications and it is sometimes hazardous. In this paper, it is shown that the combination of a one-cycle controller with a current mode controller, can improve the transient response and consequently the overshoot can be controlled. Therefore, the combined controller has the excellent line disturbance rejection of a one-cycle controller and the output current limiting capability of current mode controllers. Because in this scheme a one-cycle controller is the master controller, the problem of instability of current mode control, will not happen. By simulation and a practical prototype, the capability of the method is shown.

An exhaust-heated gas turbine cycle equipped with a waste heat recovery boiler and ammonia absorption-type refrigerator using waste heat is newly devised and analyzed. The general performance of this cycle is compared with that of the conventional gas turbine cycle. This cycle shows a potential high efficiency. When 1500K of gas turbine inlet temperature the efficiency is 53 percent as compared to 45 percent for a conventional combined cycle. Suction cooling of this cycle leads to improve the thermal efficiency and the specific output.

Combined sewer system (CSS) has been built in the most urban areas across the nation. During dry weather conditions, CSS works fine. But during heavy rain storms, combined sewage frequently overflows into the stream. This study simulated the hydrologic cycle and pollutant loads (BOD, SS, TN and TP) in the Mokgamcheon watershed considering combined sewer overflows (CSOs). PC storm water management model (PCSWMM) was used for continuous simulation and CSOs are considered using the flow divider. Sensitivity analysis, calibration and verification for water quantity and quality are carried out. To verify CSOs, field measurements of CSOs are compared with simulated results. As a result, 41.3% of precipitation flows into the stream directly and 1.1% of water supply flows into stream as CSOs. 6.5% of BOD total loads, 12.0% of SS, 13.6% of TP, and 29.2% of TN are from CSOs. This result will be effective to the integrated watershed management for sustainability.

Metformin or sodium salicylate is known to induce apoptosis and G0/G1 phase arrest in a variety of cancer cells. However, the anti-cancer effects of the combined treatments for these drugs-induced apoptosis are yet unclear. Here, we found that the combined treatment of metformin and sodium salicylate increased the efficacy of chemotherapeutics against breast cancer cells. These combined drugs significantly inhibited cellular proliferation and induced apoptosis at an earlier stage in human MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Also, co-treatments of metformin and sodium salicylate induced G1 cell cycle arrest in MCF-7 cells more effectively than either agent alone. Taken together, these results demonstrate that dual metformin/sodium salicylate treatment prevents proliferation of MCF-7 cells by inducing apoptosis and G1 cell cycle arrest.

This paper presents the concept design procedure of a floating-type combined renewable energy platform based on hydrodynamic analyses and is focused on the fatigue design of taut-type mooring lines of the platform. Two types of combined renewable energy platforms are considered: a combination of wind turbine, wave turbine and photovoltaic energy plant and a combination of wind turbine, current turbine and photovoltaic energy plant. The basic configurations are conceptually determined from the understanding of floating offshore plants, while the main dimensions have been determined based on a hydrostatic calculation. Fully coupled hydrodynamic analyses have been carried out to identify the motion characteristics of the floating body and the tension histories of the mooring lines. The tension history is used for the fatigue life prediction based on the rain-flow cycle counting method. For the fatigue life prediction, tension life curves from API and the Palmgren-Miner rule are employed.
