Wall thinning can be classified into three types: flow-accelerated corrosion, cavitation erosion and solid particle erosion. This article presents a study of solid particle erosion, which frequently causes damages to power plants' pipe system. Unlike previous studies, this study uses a mechanism to make solid particles in a fluid flow collide with pipe materials in underwater condition. Experiment is conducted in three cases of velocity according to solid-water ratio using the three types of the materials of A106B, SS400, and A6061. The experiments were performed for 30 days, and the surface morphology and hardness of the materials were examined for every 7 days. Based on the velocity change of the solid particles in a fluid flow, the surface changes, the change in the amount of erosion, the erosion rate and the variation in the hardness of carbon steel and aluminum family pipe materials can all be determined. In addition, factor-based erosion rates are verified and a wall-thinning relation function is suggested for the pipe materials.

We present a newly developed algorithm based on a Bayesian method for 2D tilted-ring analysis of disk galaxies which operates on velocity fields. Compared to the conventional ones based on a chi-squared minimisation procedure, this new Bayesian-based algorithm less suffers from local minima of the model parameters even with high multi-modality of their posterior distributions. Moreover, the Bayesian analysis implemented via Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling only requires broad ranges of posterior distributions of the parameters, which makes the fitting procedure fully automated. This feature is essential for performing kinematic analysis of an unprecedented number of resolved galaxies from the upcoming Square Kilometre Array (SKA) pathfinders' galaxy surveys. A standalone code, the so-called '2D Bayesian Automated Tilted-ring fitter' (2DBAT) that implements the Bayesian fits of 2D tilted-ring models is developed for deriving rotation curves of galaxies that are at least marginally resolved (> 3 beams across the semi-major axis) and moderately inclined (20 < i < 70 degree). The main layout of 2DBAT and its performance test are discussed using sample galaxies from Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) observations as well as artificial data cubes built based on representative rotation curves of intermediate-mass and massive spiral galaxies.

In this study, the Stokes flow in the microchannel is analysed where the semicircular protuberances with constant spacing are attached on the upper and lower walls with staggered arrangement. For the low Reynolds number flow in microchannel, Stokes approximation is used and the periodicity and symmetry of the flow are considered to determine the stream function and pressure distribution in the flow field by using the method of least squared error. As results, the streamline patterns and pressure distributions in the flow field are shown for some specific values of the size and spacing of the protuberances, and shear stress distributions on the surface of semicircular protuberances are plotted. Especially, for an important physical property, the average pressure gradient along the microchannel is obtained and compared with that for the case of in-phase arrangement of the upper and lower protuberances. And, for the small clearance between the protuberances of upper and lower walls or between the protuberances and the opposite wall, the average pressure gradient is derived from the lubrication theory and compared with that of the present study.

Global warming affects climate change and has an overall impact on all aspects of life. On the other hand, community behavior and disaster aspects also have an important role in people's lives. This will also have an impact on regional development. This study aims to find the effect of climate, disaster, and social community on rural development. This study uses data on the potential of rural development from PODES 2014, and 2018 data collection on climate conditions and regional status is sourced from relevant ministries. This research uses Ordinary Least Square (OLS) Regression Analysis method, then continued with CHAID analysis to find the segmentation of the role of climate, disaster, and social factors on rural development. The results of this study found that all research regressor variables significantly influence the Rural Development Index (IPD2018), with an R-squared value of 32.9 percent. Efforts need to be taken in order to implement policies that are targeted, effective, and efficient. The results of this study can be a reference for the government in determining policies by focusing on rural development that have high duration of sunshine, cultivating natural disaster warnings, especially in areas prone to natural disasters, and need to focus on underdeveloped areas.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the friction coefficients between abutment materials and clasp materials, and to an estimation formula for retention force. The coefficients of friction between three clasp materials and four abutment materials were measured under various conditions, polished and sandblasted and wet and dry. The measurement was repeated for each combination up to a total measurement of 1200 times. Estimation formula for retention force is measured as sum of two terms, which the one time is proportional to the product of friction coefficient ${\mu}$ and undercut u and the other term is proportional to u-squared. Two proportional coefficient were obtained by least square method. The results are as follows: 1. Friction coefficients were ranged from 0.08 to 0.53 under various conditions. 2. Friction coefficients of non-metal abutment materials are greater in wet conditions than dry conditions. 3. Friction coefficients of sandblasted clasp against abutment are greater than that of polished clasp. 4. Clasp retention force can be estimated with the model as F=$F_d(3.0{\mu}u+1.5u^2/h)$ with minor error.

이 논문에서는 다중경로 특성과 충격성 잡음이 있는 수중 통신 채널에 대해 확률밀도함수 정합 방법에 근거한 적응등화 알고리듬을 소개하고 결정 궤환을 적용한 확률밀도함수 정함 알고리듬을 제안하였다. 기존의 제곱평균오차 기반의 최소평균제곱 (LMS) 알고리듬은 수중통신 채널의 충격성 잡음과 다중경로 채널을 보상하지 못하는 현상을 보였다. 충격성 잡음에 효과적인 면역성을 보인 선형 확률밀도함수 정합 알고리듬도 열악한 다중경로 환경에서는 만족스럽지 못한 성능을 나타났다. 한편, 제안한 결정 궤환 구조의 비선형 확률밀도함수 정합 알고리듬은 수중 통신 채널의 다중경로 특성과 충격성 잡음에 대해 탁월한 강인성을 가짐을 모의실험을 통해 입증되었다.

A method measuring angular speed and estimating angular acceleration of an automotive wind shield wiper pivot with limited resources has been proposed. Limited resources refer to the fact that processes cannot be operated in real-time with a regular notebook running a Microsoft Windows. Also, they refer to the fact that data acquisition cards have only two general purpose counters as many generic cards do. An optical incremental encoder has been employed for measuring angular motion. To measure the angular speed of the pivot, periods for the encoder's output pulses have been measured as the speed is related to the reciprocal of the period. Since only information acquired from one counter channel is the magnitude of the angular speed, sign correction is necessary. Also the information for the exact time when a pivot passes left and right dead points is also missing and the situation is inherent to the hardware setup. To find out the zero-crossing time of the angular speed, a linear interpolation technique has been employed. Lastly, to overcome the imperfection of the mechanical encoders, the angular speed has been curve fitted to a spline. Angular acceleration can be obtained by a differentiation of the angular speed.

This study aims to examine the impact of service recovery in building customer loyalty through the mediating role of customer satisfaction and corporate image. This study also aims to examine the reciprocal relationship between customer satisfaction and corporate image in building customer loyalty. This study uses data from 126 consumers who have received recovery for a service failure in five logistics companies which operates in Southeast Sulawesi in Indonesia, namely; JNEs; J&T Express; Pandu Logistics; MEC; and TiKi. Data was collected using a questionnaire which was then distributed to all respondents via google form. The distribution of respondents at each logistics company provider was as follows: 19 respondents were customers of JNEs; 17 respondents were customers of J&T Express; 32 respondents were customers of Pandu Logistics; 21 respondents were customers of MEC; and 37 respondents were customers of TiKi's. The structural model developed in this study was tested using Partial Least Squared (PLS) method. The research found that service recovery has a direct effect on customer satisfaction and corporate image as positive and significant. Customer satisfaction and corporate image have a reciprocal relationship which then roles in building customer loyalty. Service recovery has an indirect effect on customer loyalty through the mediating role of customer satisfaction and corporate image.

자기적응 등화기의 최적화에 널리 사용되는 판정의거(decision-directed: DD) least mean square(LMS) 알고리즘의 수정된 형태를 제안하고, 수정된 형태가 기존 알고리즘의 초기 수렴 특성을 크게 개선함을 보인다. 기존 DD LMS는 등화기 출력과 그에 대한 양자화 값의 차이를 오차로 간주하고, 오차의 제곱을 비용 함수로 하여 등화기 계수에 대해 이를 최소화함으로써 등화기의 최적화를 달성한다. 이 오차 발생 방법은 이진 신호 또는 단일레벨 신호에 유용하나, 다치레벨 신호의 경우 등화기의 초기화에는 효과적이지 못하다. 수정된 DD LMS에서는 오차 발생을 수정하여 이 문제를 해결하였다. 다치레벨 신호를 대상으로 한 모의실험을 통해 심볼간 간섭에 의한 왜곡과 부가 잡음 하에서 수정된 DD LMS의 유용성과 성능을 검증하였다.

Purpose: This study evaluated the feasibility of using a discrete wavelet transform (DWT) method as a preprocessing tool for visible/near-infrared spectroscopy (VIS/NIRS) with a spectroscopic transmittance dataset for predicting the internal quality of cherry tomatoes. Methods: VIS/NIRS was used to acquire transmittance spectrum data, to which a DWT was applied to generate new variables in the wavelet domain, which replaced the original spectral signal for subsequent partial least squares (PLS) regression analysis and prediction modeling. The DWT concept and its importance are described with emphasis on the properties that make the DWT a suitable transform for analyzing spectroscopic data. Results: The $R^2$ values and root mean squared errors (RMSEs) of calibration and prediction models for the firmness, sugar content, and titratable acidity of cherry tomatoes obtained by applying the DWT to a PLS regression with a set of spectra showed more enhanced results than those of each model obtained from raw data and mean normalization preprocessing through PLS regression. Conclusions: The developed DWT-incorporated PLS models using the db5 wavelet base and selected approximation coefficients indicate their feasibility as good preprocessing tools by improving the prediction of firmness and titratable acidity for cherry tomatoes with respect to $R^2$ values and RMSEs.
