Heat Transfer with periodic fluctuation of fluid temperature caused by oscillatory flow or compression expansion can be out of phase with balk fluid-wall temperature difference. Newton's law of convection is inadequate to describe this phenomenon. In order to solve this problem the concept of the complex Nusselt number has been introduced by severla researchers. The complex Nusselt number expresses out of phase excellently while the first harmonic is dominant in the variations of both fluid-wall temperature difference and heat flux. However, in the case of oscillatory flow with non-linear wall temperature distribution, the complex Nusselt number is not appropriate to predict the heat transfer phenomena since the higher order harmonic components appear in periodic temperature variation. Analytic solutions to the heat transfer with an sinusoidal well temperature distribution were obtained to investagate the effect of non-linear wall temperature distribution. A new formula considering the thermal boundary layer was suggested based on the solutions. A comparison was also made with the complex Nusselt number. It was verified that the new formula describes well the heat transfer of oscillating flow even if the first harmonic component is not dominant in the fluid-wall temperature difference.

Purpose: Nowadays spinal cord stimulator is frequently used for the patients diagnosed as complex regional pain syndrome. The lead is placed above the spinal cord and connected to the stimulation generator, which is mostly placed in the subcutaneous layer of the abdomen. When the complication occurs in the generator inserted site, such as infection or generator exposure, replacement of the new generator to another site or pocket of the abdomen would be the classical choice. The objective of our study is to present our experience of the effective replacement of the existing stimulation generator from subcutaneous layer to another layer in same site after the wound infection at inexpensive cost and avoidance of new scar formation. Methods: A 50-year-old man who was diagnosed as complex regional pain syndrome after traffic accident received spinal cord stimulator, Synergy$^{(R)}$ (Medtronic, Minneapolis, USA) insertion 1 month ago by anesthetist. The patient was referred to our department for wound infection management. The patient was presented with erythema, swelling, thick discharge and wound disruption in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen. After surgical debridement of the capsule, the existing generator replacement beneath the anterior layer of rectus sheath was performed after sterilization by alcohol. Results: Patient's postoperative course was uneventful without any complication and had no evidence of infection for 3 months follow-up period. Conclusion: Replacement of existing spinal cord stimulation generator after sterilization between the anterior layer of rectus sheath and rectus abdominis muscle in the abdomen will be an alternative treatment in wound infection of stimulator generator.

The ability of robot is being various and complex. The robot is utilizing distance, image data and voice data for sensing its circumstance. This paper suggests the 2-layer fuzzy control as the algorithm that control robot with various sensor information. In a obstacle avoidance, it utilizes many range finders and classifies them into 3parts(front, left, right). In 3 sub-controllers, the controller executes fuzzy conference. And then it executes combined control with a combination of outputs of 3 sub-controllers in the second step. The text compares the 2-layer fuzzy controller with the hierarchical fuzzy controller that has analogous structure. And the performance of the 2-layer fuzzy controller is confirmed by application this controller to robot following, simulation to each other and real experiment.

움직이는 객체를 검출하기 위해서 정확한 배경을 사용하기 위해 널리 사용되는 방법으로는 가우시안 혼합 모델이다. 가우시안 혼합 모텔은 확률적 학습 방법을 사용하는데, 이 방법은 움직이는 배경일 경우와 이동하던 물체가 정지하는 경우 배경을 정확히 모델링하지 못한다. 본 논문에서는 확률적 모델링을 통해 혼잡한 배경을 모델링하고 객체의 계층적 처리를 통해 보다 정확한 배경으로 갱신할 수 있는 학습 방법을 제안한다.

Conductivities of polycrystalline ceria doped with several rare earth oxides were measured by AC admittance and DC four probe method. The conductions were separated into grain and grain boundary contributions using the complex admittance technique as well as grain size dependence of conductivity. The grain size dependence of polycrystalline conductivity, which can be adequately described by the so-called brick layer model, appears to give a more reliable measure of the grain conductivity compared to the complex admittance method. Polycrystalline resistivity(1/conductivity) increases linearly with the reciprocal of grain size. The intercept of resistivity vs. inverse grain size plot gives a measure of the grain resistivity and the slope gives a measure of the grain boundary resistivity. It was also noted that errors involved in the analysis of experimental data may be different between the complex admittance method and the impedance method. A greater resolution of the spectra was found in the complex admittance method, insofar as the present work is concerned, suggesting that the commonly used equivalent circuit may require re-evaluation.

Organic electroluminescent(EL) devices have received a great deal of attention due to their potential application as full-color displays. They are attractive because of their capability of multicolor emission, ease of fabrication, and operation at a low driving voltage. In this study, single and multiple quantum-well structures consisting of Eu(TTA)$_3$(bpy) complex well layer sandwiched between triphenyldiamine derivative (TPD) layers were fabricated and their photoluminescent electroluminescent characteristics were also investigated. Sharp emission at 616 nm has been observed from the Eu complex in multilayer, single and multiple quantum-well structures. Details on the explanation of electrical properties of these structures will be discussed.

Enormous apartment complexes in urban areas, temporary inversion state and heat island effect occur due to the strong sunshine and weak wind speeds which hinders the dispersion of air pollutants that are emitted from neighboring areas of apartment complexes. In this study, analysis were conducted by using the Fluent code based on the CFD(Computation Fluid Dynamics), including building layout, material, building height from the ground surface, the heat, analysis of flow field in the apartment complex. It was estimated that the temporal radiation inversion phenomenon during the daytime, which was caused by the weak wind speed and higher temperatures in the upper level, contributed to the stagnation of the air pollutants in the lower layer of the apartment complex.

The quantitative determination of chromium(VI) by separation from chromium(III) complex of 8-hydroxyquinoline using solvent extraction has been studied. The reaction conditions for chromium(III) complex of 8-hydroxyquinoline and the solvent extraction of complex were investigated in detail. The chromium(III) complex was extracted with organic solvent (n-hexane) and residual chromium(VI) was determined by ICP-AES in aqueous layer. This technique is quantitative in the pH range of 8-9 and the limitations such as interfering ions were discussed.

It is still inadequate for investigating the highly nonlinear and complex mechanical behaviors of single-layer latticed domes by only performing a force-based demand-capacity analysis. The energy-based balance method has been largely accepted for assessing the seismic performance of a structure in recent years. The various factors, such as span-to-rise ratio, joint rigidity and damping model, have a remarkable effect on the load-carrying capacity of a single-layer latticed dome. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the maximum load-carrying capacity of a dome under extreme loading conditions. In this paper, a mechanical model for members of the semi-rigidly jointed single-layer latticed domes, which combines fiber section model with semi-rigid connections, is proposed. The static load-carrying capacity and seismic performance on the single-layer latticed domes are evaluated by means of the mechanical model. In these analyses, different geometric parameters, joint rigidities and roof loads are discussed. The buckling behaviors of members and damage distribution of the structure are presented in detail. The sensitivity of dynamic demand parameters of the structures subjected to strong earthquakes to the damping is analyzed. The results are helpful to have a better understanding of the seismic performance of the single-layer latticed domes.
