The scaffold serves as 3D substrate for the cells adhesion and mechanical support for the newly grown tissue by maintaining the 3D structure for the regeneration of tissue and organ. In this paper, we proposed integrated scaffold fabrication system using multi-axis rapid prototyping (RP) technology. It can fabricate various types of scaffolds: arbitrary sculptured shape, primitive shape, and tube shape scaffolds by layered dispensing biocompatible/ biodegradable polymer strands in designated patterns. In order to fabricate the 3D scaffold, we need to generate the plotting path way for the scaffold fabrication system. We design a data processing program - scaffold plotting software, which can convert the 3D STL file, primitive and tube model images into the NC code for the system. Finally, we fabricated the customized 3D scaffolds with high accuracy using the plotting software and the fabrication system.

The structure of the human ear is divided into the outer ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear. The inner ear includes the cochlea that plays a very important role in hearing. Recently, the development of an artificial cochlear device for the hearing impaired with cochlear damage has been actively researched. Research has been carried out on the biomimetic piezoelectric thin film ABM (Artificial Basilar Membrane) in particular. In an effort to improve the frequency separation performance of the existing piezoelectric thin film ABM, this paper presents the design, fabrication, and characterization of the production and performance of a partially etched-type ABM material. $O_2$ plasma etching equipment was used to partially etch a piezoelectric thin film ABM to make it more flexible. The mechanical-behavior characterization of the manufactured partially etched-type ABM showed that the overall separation frequency range shifted to a lower frequency range more suitable for audible frequency bandwidths and it displayed an improved frequency separation performance. In addition, the maximum magnitude of the vibration displacement at the first local resonant frequency was enhanced by three times from 38 nm to 112 nm. It is expected that the newly designed, partially etched-type ABM will improve the issue of cross-talk between nearby electrodes and that the manufactured partially etched-type ABM will be utilized for next-generation ABM research.

본 논문에서는 자연계에 존재하는 동기화 현상에 착안하여 무선 네트워크를 위한 자율적 부하균형 기법을 제안한다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 무선 접속 서비스를 제공하는 셀 사이의 부하균형 문제를 자연계 동기화 현상을 이용하여 모델링 한 후 각 셀들이 이웃 셀과의 부하 차이에 따라 자율적으로 부하를 분배하기 위한 알고리즘을 설계한다. 모의실험을 통해 제안 기법을 이용하여 각 셀들이 자신의 지역적 정보만을 이용하여 자율적으로 부하 분배 여부를 결정하더라도 셀 간 부하균형을 이룰 수 있다는 것을 검증하였다.

During the past decade, solving complex optimization problems with metaheuristic algorithms has received considerable attention among practitioners and researchers. Hence, many metaheuristic algorithms have been developed over the last years. Many of these algorithms are inspired by various phenomena of nature. In this paper, a new population based algorithm, the Lion Optimization Algorithm (LOA), is introduced. Special lifestyle of lions and their cooperation characteristics has been the basic motivation for development of this optimization algorithm. Some benchmark problems are selected from the literature, and the solution of the proposed algorithm has been compared with those of some well-known and newest meta-heuristics for these problems. The obtained results confirm the high performance of the proposed algorithm in comparison to the other algorithms used in this paper.

The goal of this work is to create a new and improved GWO (Grey Wolf Optimizer), the so-called Robot GWO (RGWO), for dynamic and static target tracking involving multiple robots in unknown environmental conditions. From applying ourselves with the Gray Wolf Optimization Algorithm (GWO) and how it works, as the name suggests, it is a nature-inspired metaheuristic based on the behavior of wolf packs. Like other nature-inspired metaheuristics such as genetic algorithms and firefly algorithms, we explore the search space to find the optimal solution. The results also show that the improved optimal control method can provide superior power characteristics even when operating conditions and design parameters are changed.

This study presents the design of plate-based springs inspired by the sporangium structure found in ferns, aiming to implement springs with progressive rate stiffness. The proposed design incorporates layered, U-shaped plate elements, which mimic the configuration of fern sporangia. By nesting multiple U-shaped plate-based springs, we created a structure that gradually increases in stiffness as compression advances. The spring's deformation under applied loads was investigated through experimental measurements, numerical analysis, and theoretical models, revealing strong correlations between these methods. Application potential was assessed by integrating the designed spring into a vehicle suspension system, where simulations indicated an improvement in damping performance compared to traditional single-stiffness springs. This spring design approach offers a practical and cost-effective solution for enhancing suspension systems without requiring complex adjustments to existing mechanisms.

To develop a piezoelectric inkjet printhead for high-resolution and high-speed printing, we studied the characteristics of an inkjet printhead by analyzing the major design parameters. An analytical model for the inkjet printhead was established, and numerical analysis of the coupled first-order differential equation for the defined state variables was performed using state equations. To design the dimension of the inkjet printhead with a driving frequency of 100 kHz, the characteristics of the flow rate and discharge pressure of the nozzle were analyzed with respect to design variables of the flow chamber, effective sound wave velocity, driving voltage, and voltage waveform. It was predicted that the change in the height of the flow chamber does not significantly affect the Helmholtz resonance frequency and discharge speed of the nozzle. From the analysis of change in flow chamber width, it is observed that as the width of the flow chamber increases, the ejection speed greatly increases and the Helmholtz resonance frequency decreases considerably, thereby substantially affecting the performance of the inkjet printhead.

Water is the origin of all things and has been standing as a symbol of eternity which neglectes birth and death, or time and space. We mankind , however, confronts the water pollution or moreover the situation threatening even our existence as the results of considering it as mere consumables without any study on its original meaning or nature. Now, we should search for the way to understand the substance of water and to use it in the course of nature, getting rid of the altitude of merely consuming it. Our traditional way of life is in harmony with the nature and water has been adopted in the space as the important element of the nature especially as per the theory of geomancy. Man can be inspired by the plasticity , motion, sound , and reflectivity of water adopted and harmonized in the space, and the concept such as water both of inner and outer space or hierachy of a microcosmis to be composed by the natural order which lines up a man-water-space.
