Energy storage devices have received a keen interest throughout the world due to high power consumption. A large number of research activities are being conducted on electrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLCs) because of their high power density and higher energy density. In the present study, an EDLC was fabricated using natural graphite based electrodes and ionic liquid (IL) based gel polymer electrolyte (GPE). The IL based GPE was prepared using the IL, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate (1E3MITF) with the polymer poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and the salt magnesium trifluoromethanesulfonate (Mg(CF₃SO₃)₂ - MgTF). GPE was characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), DC polarization test, linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) test and cyclic voltammetry (CV) test. The maximum room temperature conductivity of the sample was 1.64 × 10^-4 Scm^-1. The electrolyte was purely an ionic conductor and the anionic contribution was prominent. Fabricated EDLC was characterized by EIS, CV and galvanostatic charge discharge (GCD) tests. CV test of the EDLC exhibits a single electrode specific capacitance of 1.44 Fg^-1 initially and GCD test gives 0.83 Fg^-1 as initial single electrode specific discharge capacitance. Moreover, a good stability was observed for prolonged cycling and the device can be used for applications with further modifications.

The effect of time, temperature and gas composition on the case hardened thickness, hardness and nitride formation in the surface of ductile cast iron(GCD400) have been studied by micro-pulse plasma technique. Typically, external compound layer and internal diffusion layer which is much thicker than compound layer was observed in the nitride hardening of ductile cast iron. The relative amount kind of phases formed in the nitrided hardening changed with the change of nitriding conditions. Generally, only nitride phases such as $\gamma^'$($Fe_4N$), or $\varepsilon$($Fe_{2-3}N$) phases were detected in compound layer by XRD analysis. The thickness of compound layer increased with the increase of nitrogen content in the gas composition. The optimum nitriding temperature was obtained at $520^{\circ}C$. The nitrided hardening thickness parabolically with nitriding time(t) and thus, the case hardened layer(d) fits well with the typical parabolic equation ; d=kt. The material constant k for GCD400 nitrided at $520^{\circ}C$ was $0.04919\times10^3{\mu}m.hr^{-1/2}$.

This paper deals with a stability evaluation of a butterfly valve using the body and disc of a valve seat. The experimental results of a strength evaluation are shown using STS316 stainless steel and spheroidal graphite cast iron (GCD450). The disc material was made from GCD450. The results of the strength analysis are as follows: Ultimate tensile strength 485MPa, Yield strength 370 MPa, Young's modulus $1.1{\times}10^5$, and Poisson's ratio v = 0.28. For the results of the disc analysis, the safety factor was about 4. This shows that a design was derived that satisfied the requirements of structural safety. However, some problems, such as the deflection and deformation of the disc, may occur when the sea water has back flow with a high pressure.

We construct an infinite family of closed 3-manifolds M(2m+ 1, n, k) which are identification spaces of certain polyhedra P(2m+ 1, n, k), for integers $m\;\ge\;1,\;n\;\ge\;3,\;and\;k\;\ge\;2$. We prove that they are (n / d)- fold cyclic coverings of the 3-sphere branched over certain links $L_{(m,d)}$, where d = gcd(n, k), by handle decomposition of orbifolds. This generalizes the results in [3] and [2] as a particular case m = 2.

We give analogous criterion to admit a real parabolic connection on real parabolic bundles over a real curve. As an application of this criterion, if real curve has a real point, then we proved that a real vector bundle E of rank r and degree d with gcd(r, d) = 1 is real indecomposable if and only if it admits a real logarithmic connection singular exactly over one point with residue given as multiplication by $-\frac{d}{r}$. We also give an equivalent condition for real indecomposable vector bundle in the case when real curve has no real points.

There are many algorithms for factoring integers. The trial division algorithm is one of the most efficient algorithms for factoring small integers(say less than 10,000,000,000). For a number n to be factored, the runtime of the trial division algorithm depends mainly on the size of a nontrivial factor of n. In this paper, we create a function named factors that can implement the trial division algorithm in ActionScript and using the factors function we construct an interactive Prime Factorization Movie and an interactive GCD Movie.

Let A ⊆ B be an extension of integral domains with characteristic zero. Let H(A, B) and h(A, B) be rings of composite Hurwitz series and composite Hurwitz polynomials, respectively. We simply call H(A, B) and h(A, B) composite Hurwitz rings of A and B. In this paper, we study when H(A, B) and h(A, B) are unique factorization domains (resp., GCD-domains, finite factorization domains, bounded factorization domains).

- I aimed to isolate trans-acting factors involved in the basal expression level of eukaryotic genes. One of the yeast histidine biosynthetic gene, HIS5 was taken as a model for this study. HIS5 gene has a substantial basal level in amino acid rich medium and is derepressed if starved for any single amino acid. The derepression is mediated by cis-acting DNA sequences 5'-TGACTC-3' found in 5' non-transcribed region of the gene and trans-acting factors including GCN4 as positive factor and its negative factor GCDI 7, and GCNZ as a negative factor of GCD17. I first investigated the role of these trans-acting factors in HIS5 basal expression level by using HIS5-pH05 fusion in which expression of pH05 gene encoding inorganic phosphate-repressible acid phosphatase (APase) is regulated by HIS5 promoter. Strain with gcn2 or gcn4 mutation showed 3 to 4 fold lower APase activity than wild type. The level of APase activity was similar in gcn2 and gcn4 mutants. Trans-acting factors involved in basal level were identified by isolating 14 mutants showing increased expression of HISSPH05 fusion from gcn4 background. All the mutants carry a single nuclear recessive mutation and fall into four complementation groups, designated as bell (basal expression level), be12, be23 and be14.

It is a highly important problem for mankind to supply sufficient energy, which has been connected to production and supply of electricity. In terms of the problems, this study fabricated a new sort of solid polymer electrolyte membrane for supercapacitors. The fabricated electrolyte employed grafting poly(oxyethylene methacrylate) (POEM) side chain on poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) main chain by free-radical polymerization. It is the first time to utilize PVA-g-POEM graft copolymer as an electrolyte membrane for supercapacitor. The chain behavior of PVA was transformed by grafting POEM side chains, which was analyzed by FT-IR spectra. Also, the capacitance performances of fabricated supercapacitors were explored by cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge/discharge (GCD), and ragone plot. We suggest a new point, the grafting of the electrolyte of supercapacitor in this study.

The design of PN(Pseudo Noise) sequences with good cross-correlation properties is important for many research areas in communication systems. In this paper we propose new family of binary sequences $S^r=\{Tr_1^m\{[Tr_m^n(a{\alpha}^t+{\alpha}^{dt})]^r\}{\mid}a{\in}GF(2^n),\;0{\leq}t<2^n-1\}$ composed of Gold-like sequences and find the value of cross-correlation function when $d=2^{n-1}(3{\cdot}2^m-1)$, where n=2k, gcd(r, $2^m-1$)=1. Also we analyze the linear span of $S^r$ for some special r. Proposed sequences are extension of Gold-like sequences and GMW-sequences.
