  • The study examines the performance and its relationship with capital structure and agency cost with respect to the industrial configurations and economic groups of Pakistan Economy. The study employs data set of 334 listed joint stock companies from the nonfinancial sectors for the period of 1999-2009 from cotton and textile, engineering, chemical, sugar, cement, fuel and energy, paper and board, transport and communication, and miscellaneous economic groups. Pooled data from the Panel data methodology has been applied to observe the significance of different performance measures through determinant of capital structure and agency costs with special focus on the leverage and cash flows as the direct determinant and interactive variables. The empirical test results using redundant variable tests demonstrate support for agency theory in the context of Pakistan's industrial configurations. The implications of the study point towards more investigations on the subject using industrial configurations as control and moderating variables.

  • This study is aimed to define the behavior of the girder ledge of precast girder-beam joint in rame type precast concrete construction method. The variable of this study is followed : 1) The change of the maximum shear strength depended on the transformation of concrete compressive strength 2) The change of the behavior of ledge depended on the transformation of shear-span ratio 3) The change of maximum shear strength and ductility by the type of reinforcement. The results of this study show the behavior of ledge is affected by shear-span ratio and the maximum shear strength is depended on the concrete compressive strength, reinforcement ratio and effective section area. In addition, through the investigation of the established study, the results of this study suggest the shear friction formula of Raths.

  • The purpose of this research was focused on substantiating an effects of tendon-layouts and compressed stress($=f_{pc}$) induced by post-tensioning on seismic performance of post-tensioned flat plate slab-column connection designed as non-participating system. To accomplish this purpose, an experimental research of flat plate exterior slab-column connections subjected to gravity load and reversed lateral displacement history are presented. As a result, tendon-layout is a main variable to influence failure mechanism, dissipated energy and lateral deformation capacity. Furthermore, compressed stress ($=f_{pc}$) induced by post-tensioning enhanced the seismic performance of flat plate slab.

  • Due to a variable noises in the field underground lines, clear technology of noises is very important in the diagnosis technology of partial discharge. Therefore we progressed filter test to improve the measuring test of partial discharge in a field. We applied to field test after making W-LC filter for partial discharge measurement, and then designed experimental environment such as underground distribution lines of field. Measuring sensor for test was UHF sensor. And we analysed those using the Lemke Probe and oscilloscope (TDS-3054, Tektronix). Finally, we obtained excellent data of noise decrement in the joint box of 22.9[kV] distribution lines from above experiment.

  • In this study, a robot is implemented in H/W based on four-bar linkage mechanism and Jansen mechanism. Our goal is to finish the given path using given terms. The various programs was used to understand the mechanism in more detail. DISON m.Sketch, EDISON Designer, Theo Jansen Mechanism Optimization Solver. Using these programs, we can design the robot in more dtails and reduce errors and trials. For the design and implementation of a robot, it is need to get joint variable, a foot point, and their relation. Thus, the proposed kinematic analysis is very important process for the design and implementation of legged robots.

  • This paper presents a method for solving the path planning problem for robot manipulators. The technique allows manipulators to move from a specified starting point to a goal without colliding with objects in two dimensional environment. Approximate cell decomposition with a greedy depth-first search algorithm is used to guide the end effector though Cartesian space and genetic algorithms are used to solve the joint variable for the robot manipulators.

  • In this paper, we derive a simple robust nonlinear control scheme for n-link robot manipulators subject to parameter uncertainty. By using the theory of variable structure system(VSS) and taking advantage of the important property of the robot dynamics, the stability of the derived control scheme is proved. This scheme utilizes the desired trajectory outputs, which can be calculated a priori, instead of the actual joint outputs in the nonlinear compensation controller. So the amount of on-line calculations is largely reduced, and as a result, this scheme can be implemented much more efficiently.

  • Modeling of photovoltaic power systems is significant to analytically predict its dynamics in practical applications. This paper presents a novel modeling algorithm of such system by using probability and statistic theories. We first establish a linear model basically composed of Fourier parameter sets for mapping the input/output variable of photovoltaic systems. The proposed model includes solar irradiation and ambient temperature of photovoltaic modules as an input vector and the inverter power output is estimated sequentially. We deal with these measurements as random variables and derive a parameter learning algorithm of the model in terms of statistics. Our learning algorithm requires computation of an expectation and joint expectation against solar irradiation and ambient temperature, which are analytically solved from the integral calculus. For testing the proposed modeling algorithm, we utilize realistic measurement data sets obtained from the Seokwang Solar power plant in Youngcheon, Korea. We demonstrate reliability and superiority of the proposed photovoltaic system model by observing error signals between a practical system output and its estimation.
