In this study, an exact transfer matrix expression for a twisted uniform beam considering the effect of shear deformation and rotary inertia is developed. The particular transfer matrix is derived by applying the distributed mass and transcendental function while using a local coordinate system. The results obtained from this method are independent for a number of subdivided elements, and this method can determine the required number of exact solutions for the free vibration characteristics of a twisted uniform Timoshenko beam using a single element. In addition, it can be used as a useful numerical method for the computation of high-order natural frequencies. To validate the accuracy of the proposed method, the computed results are compared with those reported in the existing literature, and the comparison results indicate notably good agreement. In addition, the method is used to investigate the effects of shear deformation and rotary inertia for a twisted beam.

These days, aging, the aged and patients rapidly increased to produce problems, for instance, rapid increase of demand on medical service, higher medical expenses, low quality of the elderly's lives, shortage of physicians and nurses, and others [1]. These days, not only IT technology but also medical technology has taken the lead in settlement of the problems. Patients see a doctor to be given medical treatment and service when they are sick to have difficulty. The study investigated lifestyle monitoring system of chronic disease patients to indicate variation depending upon time. The health care is likely to solve problems of the elderly and chronic disease patients and to satisfy desire of better life quality by living healthy life and to diagnose diseases and give medical treatment and to give solutions in accordance with changes of paradigm of medical services.

A throttle/brake control law for the intelligent cruise control(ICC) systems has been proposed in this paper. The ICC system consists of a vehicle detection sensor, the control algorithm and a throttle/brake actuators. For the control of a throttle/brake system, we introduced a solenoid-valve-controlled electronic vacuum booster and a step-motor controlled throttle actuator. Nonlinear computer model for the electronic vacuum booster has been developed and the simulations were per formed using a complete nonlinear vehicle model. The results indicate the proposed throttle/brake control law can provide the ICC system with an optimized performance.

This paper addresses a throttle/brake control law for stop and go cruise control systems which make the vehicle remain at a safe distance from a preceding vehicle according to the driver's preference, automatically slow down and come to a full stop behind a preceding vehicle. The uncertainties of vehicle model have been considered in the design of the control law. The effect of throttle/brake control has been investigated via simulations. The simulations were performed using a complete nonlinear vehicle model. The results indicate that the proposed throttle/brake control law can provide the stop and go cruise control system with a good distance tracking performance.

To elucidate the influence of pipe materials on the VBNC (viable but nonculturable) state and bacterial numbers in drinking water, biofilm and effluent from stainless steel, galvanized iron, and polyvinyl chloride pipe wafers were analyzed. Although no HPC (heterotrophic plate count) was detected in the chlorinated influent of the model system, a DVC (direct viable count) still existed in the range between 3- and 4-log cells/ml. Significantly high numbers of HPC and DVC were found both in biofilm and in the effluent of the model system. The pipe material, exposure time, and the season were all relevant to the concentrations of VBNC and HPC bacteria detected. These findings indicate the importance of determining the number of VBNC cells and the type of pipe materials to estimate the HPC concentration in water distribution systems and thus the need of determining a DVC in evaluating disinfection efficiency.

An indexing language were studied to construct the sentences and paragraphs providing system aided to write a Korean or English composition. The indexing language includes the index terms like noun, predicate, and adverb. and also various index symbols. The subject name and the keyword Included the symbols, which Indicate the connectives between clauses in a sentence, is used as the access point. The search results show this system will be effective with large database and developed retrieval methods.

This article deals with an economic evalutation of the 'Pasture Project of Kum River', which is the farming plan of mitten crabs in a stream of it. An augmented model of social capital is based on the past ecological-economic system dynamics model and elaborated further with suggestions of social capital literature. During the modeling process a chain diagram of causal relations and its relevant mathematical equations are presented for simulating the project performance, and the simulation results are provided to contrast the dynamic behaviors of the former ecological-economic model with ones of the new model incorporating social capital. The results indicate that an increase in the economic benefit of the project could happen in case of considering the process of social capital accumulation around the case area, which can be regarded as a remarkable trial to approve the common confidence in the role of social capital to enhance an economic achievement.

In this paper, attitude control laws are proposed for an underactuated spacecraft. The stabilization problem of the complete system including the kinematics as well as the dynamics of the spacecraft is addressed. The quaternion parameterization is used. The key idea is that the angular velocity of a uncontrolled axis is first regulated and then, the other states are regulated. Based on numerical simulations, it is conjectured that the closed-loop nonlinear system of a spacecraft with the proposed control laws is globally asymptotically stable. The control law for the stabilization problem around the origin as well as the command following problem are proposed. The numerical examples indicate that the stabilization of an underactuated asymmetric spacecraft can be achieved successfully.

We investigated the leaching of elements from anthracite ashes by interactions with seawater. The results show that consumption rates of dissolved oxygen are 7.5 times greater in the seawater system than in the fresh water system and indicate that the differences in DO consumption rate may plat a role in regulating the element leaching from the coal ashes. It is revealed that seawater's pH buffering capacity is the most important factor that makes the leaching of elements and their chemical behaviors in the seawater system different from those in the fresh water environments. In overall, element leaching from the weathered ash is smaller than that from the fresh ash. However, the leaching of Si, Fe, Al, Mn, phosphate, and some other elements were independent of weathering. They were dependant only on the pH of the solutions.

In this paper, the leakage safety of prestressed concrete structure including the insulation panels has been analyzed using a finite element analysis just after a collapse of 9% nickel inner tank. This FEM study shows that the outer tank may contain the leaked cryogenic liquid for the time being until the primary pump in the inner tank transports stored cryogenic liquids to the nearest LNG storage tank before the outer tank is demolished. This means that the total tank thickness from the insulation panel to the outer tank system safely may retain the leaked cryogenic fluids. The FE computed results indicate that the current structure in a full containment tank is obviously enough to securing the leak-proof safety of the tank system with two primary pumps.
