  • Perfluoroaryl boranes are widely employed as co-catalysts in olefin polymerization processes. Perfluoroaryl diboranes, possessing borane centers in close proximity, are a subclass of this family of compounds that are in theory capable of chelating neutral and anionic bases. The resulting anions are exceptionally weakly coordinating. We have prepared examples of such compounds and studied their coordination behavior with neutral Lewis bases that have the capability to bridge Lewis acid sites in an effort to delineate the kinetic and thermodynamic factors that influence bonding mode. When protic Lewis bases such as alcohols or water are reacted with diboranes, strong Bronsted acids capable of initiating cationic polymerizations under unusual conditions result.

  • Young children's speech is compared to adult-to-adult speech and adult-to-child speech by measuring durations and variability of each segment in CVC words. The results demonstrate that child speech exhibits an inconsistent timing relationship between consonants and vowels within a word. In contrast, consonant and vowel durations in adult-to-adult speech and adult-to-child speech exhibit significant relationships across segments, despite variability of segments when speaking rate is decreased. The results suggest that temporal patterns of young children are quite different from those of adults, and provide some evidence for lack of motor control capability and great variance in articulatory coordination.

  • This paper comes from an observation that overemphasis on capacity utilization meausre, which is usual under capacity shortage, can seriously hurt the firm's profit and potential process improvement. We suggest a model that can be used in designing a coordination scheme for decentralized marketing and manufacturing activities. Using a price and time-sensitive demand and capacitated lotsizing model, we derive an effective communication medium betwen marketing and manufacturing. This Balance Indicator of process capacity and flexibility also implies that the increase in capacity availability and setup time reduction should be balanced by its market requirements. This is particularly important when a firm tries to improve its process capability by kaizen. Further, the model can be used to show the comparative performances of scheduling policies under capacity imbalnce. We show the shortening the scheduling cycle can improve the firm profit without changing the simple scheduling rule.

  • In this paper, an adaptive speed controller with an FNN(Feedforward Neural Network) is proposed for servo motor drives. Generally, the motor system has nonlinearities in friction, load disturbance and magnetic saturation. It is necessary to treat the nonlinearities for improving performance in servo control. The FNN can be applied to control and identify a nonlinear dynamical system by learning capability. In this study, at first, a robust speed controller is developed by Lyapunov stability theory. However, the control input has discontinuity which generates an inherent chattering. To solve the problem and to improve the performances, the FNN is introduced to convert the discontinuous input to continuous one in error boundary. The FNN is applied to identify the inverse dynamics of the motor and to control the motor using coordination of feedforward control combined with inverse motor dynamics identification. The proposed controller is developed for an SR motor which has highly nonlinear characteristics and it is compared with an MRAC(Model Reference Adaptive Controller). Experiments on an SR motor illustrate te validity of the proposed controller.

  • Low frequency oscillations (LFOs) are load angle oscillations that have a frequency between 0.1-2.0 Hz. Power system stabilizers (PSSs) are very effective controllers in improvement of the damping of LFOs. PSSs are designed by linearized models of the power system. This paper presents a new model of the power system that has the advantages of the Single Machine Infinite Bus (SMIB) system and the multi machine power system. This model is named a single machine normal-bus (SMNB). The equations that describe the proposed model have been linearized and a lead PSS has been designed. Then, particle swarm optimization technique (PSO) is employed to search for optimum PSS parameters. To analysis performance of PSS that has been designed based on the proposed model, a few tests have been implemented. The results show that designed PSS has an excellent capability in enhancing extremely the dynamic stability of power systems and also maintain coordination between PSSs.

  • Single-molecule techniques have been used successfully to visualize real-time enzymatic activities, revealing transient complex properties and heterogeneity of various biological events. Especially, conventional force spectroscopy including optical tweezers and magnetic tweezers has been widely used to monitor change in DNA length by enzymes with high spatiotemporal resolutions of ~nanometers and ~milliseconds. However, DNA metabolism results from coordination of a number of components during the processes, requiring efficient monitoring of a complex of proteins catalyzing DNA substrates. In this min-review, we will introduce a simple and multiplexed single-molecule assay to detect DNA substrates catalyzed by enzymes with high-throughput data collection. We conclude with a perspective of possible directions that enhance capability of the assay to reveal complex biological events with higher resolution.

  • In 2026, in ten years from now, Korea is expected to enter into a super aged society. By facing this social phenomenon, analyzing the elderlies and preparing measures are needed among society. In the transportation field, the traffic accidents which are related to the elderly pedestrians have drastically increased so that R&D projects and policy supplementations are introduced. However very few base studies on which focused on the behavior, capability, impact factors analysis of for elderly pedestrians are conducted. To determine the walking capability, this study divided the walking capability into 3 three categories - general, health and exercise. It carries out the comprehensive survey targeting 52 elderlies with the average age of 72.6 years and this survey is made up of total 12 factors in the 3 three categories. This survey also is conducted with various measuring devices and methods such as interview, National Fitness Award, SPBB, Cybex and the like for. From the 12 detailed factors, the general factors such as age, physical shape and so forth have little impact on the walking speed. However the factors that have the greatest impact on the walking speed are extensor muscle on lower limbs in the health factors and balance, coordination, and SPPB in the exercise factors. With these results, this study develops the independent walking model which can measure the walking capability of the elderly people. The developed model is expected to be utilized as the base study for elderly's walking patterns in the transportation field by examining the walking capability of the older people.

  • Purpose : When the value of X,Y,Z coordination of the isocenter are reallocated from an arbitrary point using DRR (Digitally Reconstructed Radiographs) image in CT Simulation, conventional simulation is normally performed to verify the accuracy of this reallocation of the isocenter through the fluroscopy. The purpose of our experiment is to determine whether repeated test of the verification is necessary or not, and to analyze errors of reallocation with respect to the body region and the beam projection, if necessary, Material and Method : For 200 simulation patient, an arbitrary point is marked on each body and axial scaning is performed using CT, and treatment planing is done by drawing tumor and target volume on each slice. Using the planing data and the reallocated point of the isocenter, DRR image can be obtained and the final isocenter are marked on the patient's skin. In order to verify this reallocation of X,Y.Z coordination from CT simulation, We measure and evaluate the errors of these value on the fluoroscopy monitor and systematize them by classifying according to each body region (Brain, Neck and SCL, Lung, Esophagus, abdomen, Breast and Pelvis) and each beam projection {AP(PA), Supine, Prone and conformal : etc. } Conclusion : Isocenters are shifted by 3-5 mm in the case of Neck & SCL, Breast. at Abdomen, while noticeable differences are not found in other regions. Also, there are not correlations between the errors and the body regions or beam projections. However, our experiment intends to decide whether the procedure of verification is necessary on the vase of time and economy. It is regretful that we could not fully analyze the geometrical errors of DRR image and visual errors from the divergence. In conclusion, according to how much doctor consider tumor margin in drawing tumor and target volume, the meaning of analysis on the reallocation of isocenter should be reinterpreted, (which depends on the experience and capability of doctors)
