The aims of this research were to examine the effect of heating temperature (65, 75, and $85^{\circ}C$) and $CaCl_2$ concentration level (3, 4, and 5 mM) on the physicochemical properties of ${\beta}$-lactoglobulin (${\beta}$-lg) nanoemulsions (NEs) and to study how the droplet size of NEs affects the bioaccessibility (BA) of coenzyme $Q_{10}$ ($CoQ_{10}$). The droplet size of NEs and BA of $CoQ_{10}$ was assessed by particle size analyzer and UV-Vis spectrophotometer, respectively. An increase in heating temperature and $CaCl_2$ concentration level resulted in a significant (p<0.05) increase in the droplet size of NEs while there were no significant differences in polydispersity index and zeta-potential of NEs. When NEs containing $CoQ_{10}$ were incubated in simulated small intestinal phases, an increase in the droplet size and polydispersity index of NEs was observed. This indicated that NEs were not stable in small intestine and digestion of NEs occurred. As heating temperature and $CaCl_2$ concentration level were decreased, a significant (p<0.05) increase in BA of $CoQ_{10}$ was observed. There was a significant (p<0.05) increase in BA of $CoQ_{10}$ with a decrease in the droplet size of NEs. In conclusion, heating temperature and $CaCl_2$ concentration level were key-parameters affecting the initial droplet size of NEs and BA of $CoQ_{10}$ was negatively correlated with initial droplet size of NEs.

This paper presents a novel design of a differential patch antenna for 60-GHz millimeter-wave applications. The design process of the back-to-back (BTB) patch antenna is based on the conventional single-patch antenna. The initial design of the BTB patch antenna (Type-I) has a patch size of 0.66 × 0.98 mm² and a substrate size of 0.99 × 1.48 mm². It has a gain of 1.83 dBi and an efficiency of 94.4% with an omni-directional radiation pattern. A 0.4 mm-thick high-resistivity silicon (HRS) is employed for the substrate of the BTB patch antenna. The proposed antenna is further analyzed to investigate the effect of substrate size and resistivity. As the substrate resistivity decreases, the gain and efficiency degrade due to the substrate loss. As the substrate (HRS) size decreases approaching the patch size, the resonant frequency increases with a higher gain and efficiency. The BTB patch antenna has optimal performances when the substrate size matches the patch size on the HRS substrate (Type-II). The antenna is redesigned to have a patch size of 0.81 × 1.18 mm² on the HRS substrate in the same size. It has an efficiency of 94.9% and a gain of 1.97 dBi at the resonant frequency of 60 GHz with an omni-directional radiation pattern. Compared to the initial design of the BTB patch antenna (Type-I), the optimal BTB patch antenna (Type-II) has a slightly higher efficiency and gain with a considerable reduction in antenna area by 34.8%.

1960년대 퍼지 이론이 소개된 이후 데이터 마이닝을 포함한 기계 학습 분야의 군집화 작업에서 퍼지 이론이 폭넓게 사용되었다. 퍼지 C-평균 알고리즘은 가장 많이 사용되는 퍼지 군집화 알고리즘이다. 이 알고리즘은 하나의 데이터 개체가 서로 다른 소속 정도를 가지고 각 군집에 할당될 수 있도록 한다. 퍼지 C-평균 알고리즘도 K-평균 알고리즘과 같은 일반적인 군집화 알고리즘과 마찬가지로 초기 군집수와 군집 중심의 위치에 의해 최종 군집 결과의 성능 차이가 나타난다. 군집화를 위한 이러한 초기 설정은 주관적이며 이 때문에 적절치 못한 결과를 얻게 될 수도 있다. 본 논문에서는 이 문제를 해결할 수 있는 방법으로 주어진 학습 데이터의 속성을 기반으로 한 초기 군집수와 군집 중심을 결정하는 개선된 밀도 기반의 퍼지 C-평균 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안 방법은 격자를 사용하여 초기 군집 중심의 위치와 군집수를 결정하였다. 기존에 많이 이용되었던 객관적인 기계 학습 데이터를 이용하여 제안 알고리즘의 성능비교를 수행하였다.

EPCglobal Class-1 Gen-2 RFID 시스템의 Q-알고리즘에서는 슬롯-카운트 매개변수인 $Q_{fp}$ 값에 대한 초기 값이 정의되어 있지 않고, 슬롯-카운트의 크기를 증감시키기 위한 매개변수인 가중치 C의 값이 정해져 있지 않다. 따라서 태그의 수가 적은 상태에서 초기 $Q_{fp}$ 값을 크게 하면 빈 슬롯이 많이 발생하고, 태그의 수가 많은 상태에서 초기 $Q_{fp}$값을 적게 하면 충돌이 많이 발생한다. 또한 적절하지 못한 가중치를 선택할 경우 빈 슬롯 또는 충돌 슬롯이 많이 발생할 수 있다. 이로 인하여 질의 라운드 동안 최적의 프레임 크기에 수렴하는 속도가 늦어지므로 성능이 저하되는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 태그 수를 추정하여 최적의 초기 $Q_{fp}$ 값을 할당하고 현재의 슬롯-카운트 크기에 따라 가중치를 결정하는 기법을 제안하고, 이에 대한 성능을 분석한다.

The electroplating for copper foils has many advantages in economics. During the electroplating, the selection of appropriate additives is needed to manufacture copper foils with various properties. Therefore, it is investigated the initial plating voltage and the properties of copper foil electroplated in the electrolyte with benzothiazole as additives. The addition of benzothiazole without any additives decreased effectively the initial plating voltage. However, the initial voltage increased when the additives was used in combination with an inhibitor and a leveler along with benzothiazole. Moreover, the voltage tends to increase with the concentration of benzothiazole except for 40 ppm group. The mixed additives could change not only the initial voltage but also the morphology of crystals on the surface. When benzothiazole is added at 20 ppm or less, it was observed that the clustered crystals existed on the surface, which result in ununiform surface and high roughness value. In addition, the grain size increased with the amount of benzothiazole, but the resistivity decreased. However, when the leveler was added in 20 ppm, the grain size was decreased with the amount of benzothiazole. The size of the crystals could be influenced by the mixing ratio of additives. Therefore, it is necessary to study on the effect of concentration ratio of additives in the future.

Background Primary contraction of full-thickness graft has been traditionally quoted to be 40%. There are lacunae in literature to elaborate on the factors influencing it ever since. Methods About 75 subjects who underwent full-thickness grafting procedures to resurface small defects were included in the study. The initial and final graft dimensions after primary contraction were traced on X-ray templates and the percentage of contraction was evaluated using the graphical method. This was further correlated with age, collagen, elastic matrix metalloproteinases-1 (MMP-1) and -2 content along with dermal thickness of the skin specimen sent from the graft. Results The primary contraction of the graft had a very significant correlation only with the initial size of graft harvested with a linear regression of 33.3% and a Spearman's correlation of 0.587 significant at a p-value of 0.001. Conclusion This study though preliminary tries to highlight an important factor that primary contraction of grafts is a physical phenomenon independent of its contents like collagen, elastin, or MMP-1 and -2 or age and dependent on its initial size of harvest instead.

In this paper, the effects of parameters related to the residual stress induced due to laser shock peening process to determine mitigation of the initial tensile residual stresses are discussed, such as the maximum pressure, pressure pulse duration, laser spot size and number of laser shots. In order to estimate the influence of the initial tensile residual stresses, which is generated by welding in 35CD4 50HRC steel alloy, the initial condition option was employed in the finite element code. It is found that $2{\times}HEL$ maximum pressure and a certain range of the pressure pulse duration time can produce maximum mitigation effects near the surface and depth, regardless of the magnitudes of tensile residual stess. But plastically affected depth increase with increasing maximum pressure and pressure pulse duration time. For the laser spot size, maximum compressive residual stresses have almost constant values. But LSP is more effective with increasing the magnitudes of tensile residual stress. For the multiple LSP, magnitudes of compressive residual stresses and plastically affected depths are found to increase with increasing number of laser shots, but the effect is less pronounced for more laser shots. And to conclude, even though the initial tensile residual stresses such as weld residual stress field are existed, LSP is enough to make the surface and depth reinforcement effects.

The effects of microstructures and some additives $(CoO and Al_2O_3$) on the magnetic properties such as initial permeability, $\mu$-T curve, coercive force, and magnetic induction of MnZn ferrites have been studied. The powder was prepared by Hot Petroleum Drying Method. The basic composition of MnZn ferrites was 25.5mole % MnO, 22.0 mole% ZnO, 52.5 mole% $Fe_2O_3$. CoO in a concentration range from 0.05 to 0.5 mole% and $Al_2O_3$ from 2.5 to 7.5 mole% were added. Sintered density increased up to 97.5% of theoretical density. Permeability increased as average grain size increased, and that coercive force decreased as average grian size increased. Magnetic induction increased as sintered density increased. The variation of initial permeability with temperature in a temperature range from 0$^{\circ}$ to $60^{\circ}C$ was lowered (a flatter $\mu-T$ curve) as sintering temperature decreased. The compensation temperature To ofmagnetocrystalline anisotropy constant K1 and initial permeability varied with the species and amount of additives. When 0.05 mole% CoO was added to the basic composition, initial permeability at $15^{\circ}C$ increased from 5200 to 5900. The variation ofinitial permeability with temperature in a temperature range from 0^{\circ}to $60^{\circ}C$ was smaller (a flatter $\mu$-T curve) than that of the basic composition of Mn Zn ferrites. When 2.5 mole% $Al_2O_3$ was added, initial permeability at $15^{\circ}C$ decreased from 5200 to 3000. But the variation of initial permeability with temperature in a temperature range from 0$^{\circ}$to $60^{\circ}C$ was smaller (a flat ter $\mu-T$ curve) than when 0.05 mole% CoO was added. Experimental results showed that the conditions necessary for the occurrence of a very high permeability and a flat $\mu$-T curve were controversial even in a temperature range from $0^{\circ}$to $60^{\circ}C$.

The carbon fiber reinforced/epoxy laminated composites were fabricated with initial fiber failures within the unidirectional fiber pre-pregnated ply. The fiber failures were made intentionally either parallel to and/or perpendicular to the unidirectional fibers within the ply. The pre-made clear-cut cracks were found to be healed partially after laminating process. The laminates were impacted with or without initial fiber failures within the laminates. The force versus deflection curves were compared. The partially healed laminates showed the reduced laminate stiffness as compared to those without any intentional fiber failures. The impact curves were compared with size and the location of the initial failures varied.

Freezing of an aqueous sodium cWoride solution (Nacl- H20) saturating a packed bed with ini¬tial salt concentrations of 5, 10, 15(k by weight is investigated experimentally in a rectangular cav¬ity. The system was cooled from the top, bottom and a vertical side wall. For the freezing experi¬ments from below, there was little effect of the initial salt concentration throughout the freezing process, and the global freezing rate was not affected by the initial salt concentration. For the freezing from above, the size of the mush region decreased and the mushlliquid interface became flatter as the initial liquid concentration is decreased. For the freezing from vertical side wall, reheating of the mixture was intensified with an increase in the initial salt concentration. For Ci= 5%, supercooling was observed only at the early times of freezing process, but for Ci= 15% small supercooling was observed throughout the freezing process.
