We predict the magnetization curves with strains in thin films. It is possible to predict the magretoelastic ani¬sotropy erergy which generates the changes of the M-H curves in thin films. We show the prediction of M-H curves in case of isotropic films such as polycrystalline am amorphous thin films as well as single crystal cubic films.

We present performance of artificial neural network multivariate classifier in identifying non-astrophysical origin noise transients from the gravitational wave channel of Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO). LIGO has successfully conducted six science runs, achieving the sensitivity as planned and producing many fruitful scientific results. It has been well observed that the detector noise is non-Gaussian and non-stationary, which results in large excess of noise transients called glitches arising from instrumental and environmental artifacts. Great efforts have been committed to reduce the glitches by tuning the detector instruments and by vetoing them but further improvement is still needed. To this end, there have been efforts to incorporate data from hundreds of auxiliary, physical and environmental channels into identifying the glitches in the gravitational wave channel. We introduce a multivariate classification method using Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) that efficiently handles large number of variables. In this poster, we present preliminary results of the application of our ANN algorithm to data from LIGO's Science Run 4 and compare its performance with conventional vetoing method.

The accurate prediction of motion in waves of a marine vehicle is essential to assess the maximum sea state vs. operational requirements. This is particularly true for small crafts, such as Autonomous Surface Vessels (ASV). Two different numerical methods to predict motions of a SWATH-ASV are considered: an inviscid strip theory initially developed at MIT for catamarans and then adapted for SWATHs and new a hybrid strip theory, based on the numerical solution of the radiation forces by an unsteady viscous, non-linear free surface flow solver. Motion predictions obtained by the viscous flow method are critically discussed against those obtained by potential flow strip theory. Effects of viscosity are analyzed by comparison of sectional added mass and damping calculated at different frequencies and for different sections, RAOs and motions response in irregular waves at zero speed. Some relevant conclusions can be drawn from this study: influence of viscosity is definitely non negligible for SWATH vessels like the one presented: amplitude of the pitch and heave motions predicted at the resonance frequency differ of 20% respectively and 50%; in this respect, the hybrid method with fully non-linear, viscous free surface calculation of the radiation forces turns out to be a very valuable tool to improve the accuracy of traditional strip theories, without the burden of long computational times requested by fully viscous time domain three dimensional simulations.

Writing education for the students who major in natural sciences and engineering is concentrated on just writing in liberal education. So, this article study the condition and practical solution of writing education with a focus on natural sciences and engineering. This article researches the condition of writing in these majors of Seoul National University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Stanford University. As a result, students keenly feel the necessity of writing in this major, but SNU does not offer such courses and few teachers that could teach it. To solve this, we propose that writing teachers of liberal education give feedback on the reports of the capstone research subject 3 or 4 times, which corresponds to 1 credit. This solution would be applicable to most universities in practice, though it is not final method.

Chemical and physical synthesis routes were combined to prepare macroporous thin films of semiconducting metal-oxides such as $CaCu_{3}Ti_{4}O_{12}\;and\;TiO_{2}$ by sputtering onto (PMMA) microsphere templated substrates. Subsequently, the colloidal templates were removed by thermal decomposition. The remaining inorganic films comprised a monolayer of hollow hemispheres with diameter commensurate with that of the microspheres. This unique morphology increases the surface area and reduces the interfacial area between film and substrate. Consequently, the surface activity is markedly enhanced while deleterious interfacial effects between film and substrate are significantly reduced. Both effects are highly advantageous for gas sensing applications.

Although 2D-PAGE has been widely used as the primary method for protein separation, difficulties in displaying proteins with an extreme values of isoelectric paint (pI), molecular size and hydrophobicity limit the technique. In addition, time consuming steps involving protein transfer and extraction from the gel-pieces can result in sample loss. Here, we describe a novel protein separation technique with capillary size-exclusion chromatography (CSEC) for rapid protein identification from human plasma. The method includes protein fractionation along with molecular size followed by in-solution tryptic digestion and peptide analysis through reversed phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) coupled to nanoflow electrospray-tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS). Tryptic peptides are applied an a $100\;{\mu}m\;i.d.{\times}10mm$ length pre-column and then separated on a $75\;{\mu}m{\times}200mm$ analytical column at -100 nL/min flaw rate. Proteins were identified over the wide ranges of pI (3.7-12.3) when this technique was applied to the analysis of $1-2\;{\mu}L$ of human plasma. This gel-free system provides fast fractionation and may be considered a complementary technique to SDS-PAGE in proteomics.

Cutting fluids used for superfinishing are usually mineral based oils With sulfur and chlorine additives. These cutting fluids are an environmental hazard and can adversely affect the health of personnel on the shop floor. The present investigation was undertaken to explore the possible alternative use of environmentally-conscious cutting fluids for superfinishing. Unlike mineral oils, these environmentally-conscious cutting fluids are biodegradable and non-hazardous. Experiments were conducted for testing an ester oil manufactured by Accu-Lube applied in miniscule amounts using the Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) technique. A significant improvement in stock removal was found with the 6 stones tested. The specific energy values associated with the process were also significantly lower than those obtained previously with conventional straight oils and the water based synthetic fluid, indicative of better lubrication, while the surface roughness was comparable. These tests prove that MQL with ester oils can be a very effective environmentally-conscious alternative to conventional straight oils.

Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) serves as an irreplaceable tool to probe the complexities of multiphase flow and identify turbulent mechanisms that elude conventional experimental measurement techniques. The insights unlocked via its careful analysis can be used to guide the formulation and development of turbulence models used in multiphase computational fluid dynamics simulations of nuclear reactor applications. Here, we perform statistical analyses of DNS bubbly flow data generated by Bolotnov ($Re_{\tau}=400$) and LueTryggvason ($Re_{\tau}=150$), examining single-point statistics of mean and turbulent liquid properties, turbulent kinetic energy budgets, and two-point correlations in space and time. Deformability of the bubble interface is shown to have a dramatic impact on the liquid turbulent stresses and energy budgets. A reduction in temporal and spatial correlations for the streamwise turbulent stress (uu) is also observed at wall-normal distances of $y^+=15$, $y/{\delta}=0.5$, and $y/{\delta}=1.0$. These observations motivate the need for adaptation of length and time scales for bubble-induced turbulence models and serve as guidelines for future analyses of DNS bubbly flow data.
