This paper deals with free vibration of plates with steps and internal line supports by using a modified matched interface and boundary (MMIB) method. Different kinds of interfaces caused by steps, rigid and elastic line supports and their combinations are taken into account. Detailed MMIB procedures for dealing with these different interfaces are presented. Various examples are chosen to illustrate the accuracy and convergence of MMIB method. Numerical results show that the proposed MMIB is a highly accurate and convergent approach for solving the title issue. This study will extend the application range of MMIB method.

Multiplication free adaptive digital filtering algorithms are discussed. The proposed. The proposed algorithm uses delta modulation digital filter and the relevant filter weights are updated using the SIGN algorithms to realize an adaptive digital filter without multiplication operations. It is shown that the resulting algorithm can be implemented using simple up/down counting operations. The convergence characteristics of the proposed adaptive digital filtering algorithm and .others are investigated for a system identification problem.

A Finite Volume Method for the two-dimensional incompressible, two-fluids Navies-Stokes equation and level-set scheme are used to analyse the interface of two fluids, free-surface flow. The numerical characteristics and the applicability of level-set scheme are brief1y investigated and appraised by solving oscillating small surface wave in a water tank and dam break problems. In the numerical results, a method for improving the convergence of the solution is presented.

In this study, error estimates using the stress projecting scheme and adaptive nodal generation procedure in the element-free Galerkin(EFG) method are proposed. The essence of proposed error estimates is to use the difference between the values of the projected stress and these given directly by the EFG solution. The stress projection can be obtained simply by taking product of shape function based on a different domain of influence with the stresses at nodes. An adaptive procedure based on error estimates is discussed in this paper. By use of background integration cell, adding node scheme at high error norm area is proposed. To demonstrate the performance of proposed scheme, the convergence behavior is investigated for several examples

In this study, the thermal conductive characteristics and basic properties of the nine commercial products of bentonite grouts were studied. Six of the nine products for ground heat exchanger systems are imported and others for civil engineering are domestic. The thermal conductivities of all bentonite products are nearly similar among products. The free swell indexes, viscosities and filter losses of the ground heat exchanger grouts are lower than those of the civil engineering ones. These characteristics seem to increase of the fluidity to fill the bentonite slurry to bore-hall perfectly, rather than to prevent underground water penetration. Thus, the mixtures of bentonites and sands are recommended for high thermal conduction grouts.

In this article, free vibration of functionally graded (FG) elliptic plates subjected to various classical boundary conditions has been investigated. Literature review reveals no study has been performed based on functionally graded elliptic plates till date. The mechanical kinematic relations are considered based on classical plate theory. Rayleigh-Ritz technique is used to obtain the generalized eigenvalue problem. The material properties of the FG plate are assumed to vary along thickness direction of the constituents according to power-law form. Trial functions denoting the displacement components are expressed in simple algebraic polynomial forms which can handle any edge support. The objective is to study the effect of geometric configurations and gradation of constituent volume fractions on the natural frequencies. New results for frequency parameters are incorporated after performing a test of convergence. A comparison study is carried out with existing literature for validation in special cases. Three-dimensional mode shapes for circular and elliptic FG plates are also presented with various boundary conditions at the edges.

A new 8-node serendipity quadrilateral plate bending element (MQP8) based on the Mindlin-Reissner theory for the analysis of thin and moderately thick plate bending problems using Integrated Force Method is presented in this paper. The performance of this new element (MQP8) is studied for accuracy and convergence by analyzing many standard benchmark plate bending problems. This new element MQP8 performs excellent in both thin and moderately thick plate bending situations. And also this element is free from spurious/zero energy modes and free from shear locking problem.

Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) of alcohol YBCO suspensions on the Ag wire electrode is studied. Poly(ethylene glycol) was coordinated to a structure formed by the EPD process with YBCO particles. The suspension is characterized in terms of zeta potential and conductivity. The d.c electric fields of 200-300 V/cm are applied for 1-10 min. The optimal condition for the EPD allows modifying the properties and microstructure of the deposited films. Superconducting coatings with nanometer-sized pores and a preferred orientation along the c-axis were prepared from the result with chemically modified precursor solution. In contrast, YBCO coatings of submicrometer-sized pores and randomly orientated grains were prepared from the solution without PEG.

This paper presents processing-node status-based message scattering and gathering algorithms for multi-processor systems on chip to reduce the communication time between processors. In the message-scattering part of the message-passing interface (MPI) scatter function, data transmissions are ordered according to the proposed linear algorithm, based on the processor status. The MPI hardware unit in the root processing node checks whether each processing node's status is 'free' or 'busy' when an MPI scatter message is received. Then, it first transfers the data to a 'free' processing node, thereby reducing the scattering completion time. In the message-gathering part of the MPI gather function, the data transmissions are ordered according to the proposed linear algorithm, and the gathering is performed. The root node receives data from the processing node that wants to transfer first, and reduces the completion time during the gathering. The experimental results show that the performance of the proposed algorithm increases at a greater rate as the number of processing nodes increases.

A number of recent studies have contributed to an increased understanding of how and why workers feel bound to their unions. However, by now there has been limited theoretical works on the various forms that union membership can take. Thus, the goal of this study is to develop the types of union membership. To develop the types of union membership, I used the ideological and instrumentalitic concepts. The types of union membership are identified as follows: Positive free agents (${\Leftrightarrow}$ Negative free agents) have low levels of both positive (negative) instrumentality and positive (negative) ideology. If positive (negative) instrumentality is high and positive (negative) ideology low, this group may be labeled Instrumentals (${\Leftrightarrow}$Disgruntled). Expressives (${\Leftrightarrow}$Antagonizers) have low levels of positive (negative) union instrumentality and high levels of positive (negative) ideology. Those who have high levels of both positive (negative) ideology and positive (negative) instrumentality have been called Identifiers (${\Leftrightarrow}$Opponents). Variables related to union instrumentality, and union ideology were investigated: (1) the personal characteristics of individual members, (2) the employing organization, (3) the union characteristics, (4) the economic environment, (5) the labor relations climate.
