This study numerically investigates thermal comfort in a space cooled by the floor-supply air conditioning system, in which three different supply-return locations, one floor supply-ceiling return and two floor supply-floor returns, are treated. A complementary experiment is peformed to validate the present numerical analysis, and the prediction agrees favorably with the measured data. In the numerical procedure, a simplified model mimicking the inlet flow through the diffuser is developed for efficient simulations. The calculated results show that the ceiling return type is far better in thermal comfort than the floor return ones within the extent of this study, which seems to be caused by effective vertical penetration of the supply air against natural convection. It is also revealed that the arrangement of port locations in the floor supply-floor return system has insignificant effect on the cooling performance. For selecting a proper system, other characteristics including the heating performance should be accounted for simultaneously with the present estimation.

In this paper we consider the well-known semiparametric proportional hazards (PH) models for survival analysis. These models are usually used with few covariates and many observations (subjects). But, for a typical setting of gene expression data from DNA microarray, we need to consider the case where the number of covariates p exceeds the number of samples n. For a given vector of response values which are times to event (death or censored times) and p gene expressions (covariates), we address the issue of how to reduce the dimension by selecting the significant genes. This approach enable us to estimate the survival curve when n < < p. In our approach, rather than fixing the number of selected genes, we will assign a prior distribution to this number. The approach creates additional flexibility by allowing the imposition of constraints, such as bounding the dimension via a prior, which in effect works as a penalty. To implement our methodology, we use a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method. We demonstrate the use of the methodology to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) complementary DNA(cDNA) data.

Si 나노와이어를 합성하는 다양한 방법들 중에서 Si 기판을 나노와이어 형태로 제작하는 무전해 식각법은 쉽고 간단하기 때문에 최근 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 무전해 식각법을 이용한 Si 나노와이어는 p 또는 n형의 전기적 특성을 갖는 Si 기판의 도핑농도에 따라 원하는 전기적 특성을 갖는 나노와이어를 얻을 수 있을 것이라는 기대가 있었지만 n형으로 제작된 나노와이어의 경우 식각에 의한 표면의 거칠기 때문에 그 특성을 나타내지 못하는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 무전해 식각법을 이용하여 p와 n형 나노와이어를 합성하고 field-effect transistors (FETs) 소자를 제작하여 각각의 특성을 구현하였다. 나노와이어와 절연막 사이의 계면 결함을 최소화하기 위하여 poly-4-vinylphenol (PVP) 고분자 절연막에 나노와이어를 삽입시킨 형태로 소자를 제작하였고, 특히 n형 나노와이어의 표면을 보다 평평하게 하기 위하여 열처리를 진행 하였다. 이렇게 각각의 특성이 구현된 나노와이어를 이용하여 soft-lithography 공정을 통해 complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) 구조의 인버터 소자를 제작하였으며 그 전기적 특성을 평가하였다.

최근 CMOS(Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) 능동소자에 사용되는 MOS-FET (Metal Oxide Semiconductror Field Effect Transitror)의 전체적인 크기 감소추세에 따라 금속 전극과 반도체 사이의 절연층 두께 감소가 요구되고 있다. 현재 보편적으로 사용되고 있는 SiO$_2$층은 두께 감소에 따른 터널링 전류의 증가로 더 이상의 두께 감소를 기대하기 어려운 상태이다. 이러한 배경에서 최근 터널링 전류를 충분히 감소시키면서 요구되는 절연특성을 얻을 수 있는 새로운 고유전 물질 (high-k dielectric material)에 대한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 현재까지 연구되어온 고유전 물질 중, 고유전 상수, 큰 밴드갭, Si과의 열적 안정성을 갖는 물질로 ZrO$_2$가 주목을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Metal Organic Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MOMBE) 방법을 이용한 ZrO$_2$ 층의 성장조건 및 특성을 평가하고자 한다.

This paper reports the performance of a CB (Circuit Breaker) and converter for the battery operated Wind-PV (Photovoltaic) system. For this purpose, a fluctuating reduction controller for an electric generation hybrid (wind+PV) system is suggested. The method operates a wind turbine, PV, CB, converter and battery. Integration of wind and PV sources, which are generally complementary, usually reduce the capacity of the battery. Also, CB controls the overvoltage of the generation system. The objective is to control the operation of the converter and the CB and reduce power fluctuation. This paper includes discussion on system performance, power quality, fluctuation and effect of the randomness of the wind.

We propose a diagnostic that can resolve the planet/binary degeneracy of central perturbations in caustic-crossing high-magnification microlensing events. The diagnostic is based on the difference in the morphology of perturbation inside the central caustics induced by a planet and a wide-separation binary companion. We find that the contours of excess exhibit a concentric circular pattern around the caustic center for the binary-lensing case, while the contours are elongated or off-centered for the planetary case. This difference results in the distinctive features of the individual lens populations in the residual of the trough region between the two peaks of the caustic crossings, where the shape of the residual is symmetric for binary lensing while it tends to be asymmetric for planetary lensing. We determine the ranges of the planetary parameters for which the proposed diagnostic can be used. The diagnostic is complementary to previously proposed diagnostics in the sense that it is applicable to caustic-crossing events with small finite-source effect.

When designing an engine part the designer has to choose the proper material and to define the dimensions of the part. in the most rudimentary case he has available as guidelines the collective experience from similar applications. The performance of the part is tested on occasion of the trial runs for the full system, and possibly occurring deficiencies are corrected until a satisfactory usable life and safety of operation is achieved. This procedure is time consuming and costly, and the learning effect is minimal. These requirements have to be condensed into characteristic values ameanable to computation. Since testing and computation are complementary we have to look at the currently existing mathematical models for engine bearing performance.

Neurological impairment produces cognitive, communicational, physical, and social deficits. Music has the power to help stroke patients to regain speech and overcome other deficits. Rhythm and melody help to rehabilitate memory, muscles, breathing, etc. This article introduces how music therapy approaches stroke patients and helps them. It focuses particularly on speech; however, music affects not only one part of the body but the whole body. In cases in which music therapy is used, we can see how music helps with stroke patients and how to achieve these goals.

Human errors performed during the operations have a dominant portion of the accidents. But the systematic human error evaluation methodology universally accepted is not developed yet. One of the difficulties in performing human reliability analysis is to evaluate the performance shaping factors which represent the characteristics and the circumstances in the discriminate manner. For assessing a specific human action more exactly, it is necessary to consider all of the PSFs at the same time which make an effect on the human action. In this paper, dynamic influence diagrams are introduced to model simultaneously their effects on the specific human action. And the human actions and their subsequent PSFs are categorized and classified as the complementary works. A new human error evaluation methodology using influence diagrams is developed. This methodology involves the categorization of PSFs and the PSFs quantification. The applied analysis results for the example task are shown for representative purposes. It is shown that this approach is very flexible in that it can be applied to any kind of actions.

Purpose: This study was to determine the effects of foot reflexomassage on constipated college women for the treatment of constipation. Method: The researcher sampled nursing students attending a college of nursing science in Gyeonggi-Do, and checked if they were affected by constipation in reference to the Rome II criteria & CAS. They were randomly divided into an experimental group(15 subjects) and a control group(15 subjects). Foot reflexomassage was applied to the experimental group 10 times in 2 weeks: each time lasted 40 minutes. The frequency of defecation and severity of constipation by CAS were measured. The collected data was analyzed using the SPSS 11.5 program. Result: The CAS score of the experimental group was significantly lower after foot reflexomassage than those of the control group(p=.000). Conclusion: Foot reflexomassage can be considered an effective alternative treatment for constipated young women.
