Low fuel regression rate is the main drawback of hybrid rocket which should be overcome. One of the improvement techniques to this problem is usage of a solid fuel grain with a complicated geometry port, which has been promoted owing to the recent development of additive manufacturing technologies. In the design of a hybrid rocket fuel grain with a complicated geometry port, the understanding of fuel regression behavior is very important. Numerical investigations of fuel regression behavior requires a capturing method of solid fuel surface, i.e. gas-solid interface. In this study, level set method is employed as such a method and the preliminary numerical tool for capturing a hybrid rocket solid fuel surface is developed. At first, to test the adequacy of the numerical modeling, the simulation results for circular port are compared to the experimental results in open literature. The regression rates and oxidizer to fuel ratios show good agreements between the simulations and the experiments, after passing enough time. However, during the early period of combustion, there are the discrepancies between the simulations and the experiments, owing to transient phenomena. Second, the simulations of complicated geometry ports are demonstrated. In this preliminary step, a star shape is employed as complicated geometry of port. The slot number effect in star port is investigated. The regression rate decreases with increasing the slot number, except for the star port with many slots (8 slots) in the latter half of combustion. The oxidizer to fuel ratio increases with increasing the slot number.

We present the thermal analysis result of die bonding for a high power LED package using a metal hybrid silicone adhesive structure. The simulation structure consists of an LED chip, silicone die adhesive, package substrate, silicone-phosphor encapsulation, Al PCB and a heat-sink. As a result, we demonstrate that the heat generated from the chip is easily dissipated through the metal structure. The thermal resistance of the metal hybrid structure was 1.662 K/W. And the thermal resistance of the total package was 5.91 K/W. This result is comparable to the thermal resistance of a eutectic bonded LED package.

An interspecific hybrid lily cultivar 'Green Star' was bred in 2005 at the National Institute of Horticultural and Herbal Science (NIHHS), Rural Development Administration (RDA), Korea. The crossing and in vitro embryo rescue was conducted between Lilium FA97-2 (L. ${\times}$ formolongi 'Silky White' ${\times}$ L. Asiatic 'Sunray') and L. Asiatic 'Bomi (Byeongga ${\times}$ Connecticut King)' by cut style pollination method (CSM) at Suwon in 2000. The first selection was done and was tentatively named as 'FA03-5' in 2003. After in vitro multiplication and bulbing production of 'FA03-5' line, growth and flowering characteristic tests were conducted from 2003 to 2005. The evaluation of characteristics and consumer preferences were surveyed at a lily flower show of NIHHS in 2005. 'Green Star' flowered in the middle of June and grew more than 120 cm stem in length. Flowers bloomed facing upward, unspotted in petals and greenish yellow (RHS, Y6D). 'Green Star' was male sterile. Year-round flowering can be done by storing the bulb under $-1.5^{\circ}C$ conditions. It was needed to control the Botrytis disease in wet season.

This paper proposes a novel dynamically reconfigurable switch for various multimedia applications in hybrid NoC systems. Current NoC systems, which adopt hybrid NoC structure with fixed switch and job distribution algorithms, require designers to precisely predict the property of applications to be processed. This paper proposes a reconfigurable switch which minimizes buffer overflow in various multimedia applications running on an NoC system. To verify the performance of the proposed system, we performed experiments on various multimedia applications running on embedded systems, such as MPEG4 and MP3 decoder, GPS positioning system, and OFDM demodulator. Experimental results show that buffer overflow has been decreased by 41.8% and 29.0%, respectively, when compared with NoC systems having sub-clusters with mesh or star topology. Power usage has been increased by 2.3% compared with hybrid NoC systems using fixed switches, and chip area has been increased from -0.6% to 5.7% depending on sub-cluster topology.

This paper presents a hybrid WDM/TDM channel acess protocol for high speed WDM networks based on passive double star topology. In the proposed scheme, all nodes in a network are splitted into groups forming passive double star topology and each node has a tunable transmitter and a fixed receiver. WDM channels are allocated to the groups, which are used as home channels to transmit or receive packets. TDM frames of the WDM channel are composed of the same number of slots as that of groups, and all nodes in a group transmit packets simultaneously at each slot. The proposed scheme reduces the system complexity and the number of the required WDM channels. It was proved that the proposed protocol is less sensitive to the propagation delay and maintaining its superior transmission performance by employing the efficient transmission schedule based on passive double star topology.

In order to recover fertility from sterile interspecific OA-1 $F_1$ hybrid (Oriental hybrid 'Mero Star' ${\times}$ Asiatic hybrid 'Connecticut King'), various concentrations (0.1, 0.3 and 0.5%) of caffeine were injected directly into flower buds and then confirmed the viability of OA-1 $F_1$ hybrid at the flowering time. After the caffeine treatment, fertilized $F_1$ hybrids were crossed as female with Asiatic hybrid 'Lanzarote' as male. Five plantlets were obtained from seven embryos of 16 pollinated flowers at 0.3% treatment of caffeine while 0.5% treatment of caffeine obtained one plant let and 0.1 % treatment of caffeine plantlet did not produce at all. Thus 0.3% of caffeine treatment was considered as optimum concentration to produce subsequent progenies and the OA-l $F_1$ hybrid treated with caffeine produced 51% of putative 2n gametes. Pollen germination of OA-2 ('Romero Star' ${\times}$ 'Lady Rosa') and OA-3 ('Expression' ${\times}$ 'Lady Rosa') was not differ between temperature treatment alone and in combination with caffeine and temperature treatment. In the reciprocal crosses of OA-1 and Asiatic hybrid 'Lanzarote' or Oriental hybrid 'Sorbonne', A ('Lanzarote') ${\times}$ OA-1 or OA-1 ${\times}$ A crosses showed better results than O ('Sorbonne') ${\times}$ OA-1 or OA-1 ${\times}$ a crosses in plant obtaining. All progenies obtained from A ${\times}$ OA-1 or OA-1 ${\times}$ A crosses were confirmed as triploids by GISH analysis.

This study investigated the initial mass function (IMF) and star formation history of high-mass stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) using a population synthesis technique. We used the photometric survey catalog of Lee (2013) as the observable quantities and compare them with those of synthetic populations based on Bayesian inference. For the IMF slope (${\Gamma}$) range of -1.1 to -3.5 with steps of 0.1, five types of star formation models were tested: 1) continuous; 2) single burst at 10 Myr; 3) single burst at 60 Myr; 4) double bursts at those epochs; and 5) a complex hybrid model. In this study, a total of 125 models were tested. Based on the model calculations, it was found that the continuous model could simulate the high-mass stars of the SMC and that its IMF slope was -1.6 which is slightly steeper than Salpeter's IMF, i.e., ${\Gamma}=-1.35$.

HD 81817 is known as a hybrid star. Hybrid stars have both cool stellar wind properties and UV or even X-ray emission features of highly ionized atoms in their spectra. A white dwarf companion has been suggested as the source of UV or X-ray features. HD 81817 has been observed since 2004 as a part of our radial velocity (RV) survey program to search for exoplanets around K giant stars using the Bohyunsan Observatory Echelle Spectrograph (BOES) at the 1.8 m telescope of Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observatory (BOAO) in Korea. We obtained 84 RV measurements between 2004 and 2018 for HD 81817 and found two periodic RV variations. The obtained amplitudes of RV periods are around 200 m/s, which are significantly lower than that expected from a white dwarf companion. Furthermore, our re-analysis of the IUE spectra used by Reimers (1984) shows that the excess in UV emission can easily be explained by a pseudo-continuum of unresolved emission lines originating in the extended chromosphere of the star. We thus conclude that there are no companions of stellar mass to HD 81817. Meanwhile, we analyzed two periodicities in RV measurements and conclude that the period of 627.9 days is caused by intrinsic stellar activities based on H alpha equivalent width (EW) variations of a similar period. On the other hand, the period of 1047.8 days is likely to be caused by substellar companion which has a minimum mass of 27.6 M_JUP, a semi-major axis of 3.3 AU, and an eccentricity of 0.17 assuming the stellar mass of 4.3 M_⊙ for HD 81817. The inferred mass puts HD 81817 b in the brown dwarf desert.

This paper presents a comparative structural analysis of lattice hybrid tower with six legs with conventional tubular steel tower for an onshore wind turbine using finite element method. Usually a lattice hybrid tower will have a conventional industry standard 'L' profile section for the lattice construction with four legs. In this work, the researcher attempted to identify and analyze the strength of six legged lattice hybrid tower designed with a special profile instead of four legged L profile. And to compare the structural benefits of special star profile with the conventional tubular tower. Using Ansys, a commercial FEM software, both static and dynamic structural analyses were performed. A simplified finite element model that represents the wind turbine tower was created using Shell elements. An ultimate load condition was applied to check the stress level of the tower in the static analysis. For the dynamic analysis, the frequency extraction was performed in order to obtain the natural frequencies of the tower.
