The purpose of this study was to reduce the airborne noise emitted from the package air-conditioner(PAC) therefore, the optimim design melthods of the fans and the flow-paths were investigated experimentally through the anlaysis of the nose problems caused by the conventional PAC system, and the fan performance tests and the systme resistance measurements of the parts which belong to the flow-paths of the PACwere used to study these noise problems. As a results, through the optimized flow-paths of the new PAC system with the lowset system resistance, and by adjusting and matching the operating point of each fan to each PAC system, the airborne noise reductions from the new indoor PAC and the outdoor one were achieved upto 5.5 dBA and 6.6 dBA respectively in overall noise level as compared with the conventional PAC system.

Low RF power density was used for preparing transparent conducting AI-doped ZnO (AZO) thin films by RF Magnetron Sputtering on Corning 1737 glass. The dependence of films' structural, optical and electrical properties on sputtering gas, film's thickness and substrate temperature were investigated. Low percent of incorporated H2 in Ar sputtering gas has proven to reduce film's resistivity and sheet resistance as low as $4.1\times10^{-3}{\Omega}.cm$. It also formed new preferred peaks orientation of (101) and (100) which indicated that the c-axis of AZO films was parallel to the substrate. From UN-VIS-NIR Spectrophotometer analysis, it further showed high optical transmittance at about $\~ 90\%$ at visible light spectra (400-700nm).

Continuation of a phytochemical study of Cichorium intybus L. (Astraceae) growing in Egypt, resulted in the isolation and identification of a new sesquiterpene lactone 3,4-dihydrolactucin, in addition to the eight known compounds; kaempferol, isoscutellarin, cichoriin, umbelliferone, lupeol, lupeol acetate, ${\beta}-sitosterol$, and ${\beta}-sitosterol-3-O-glucoside$. Chemical structures of the isolated compounds were assigned based on different physical, chemical, and spectroscopic techniques including IR, UV, MS, 1D- and 2D-NMR spectra. Furthermore, the antimicrobial, and spasmogenic activities of some fractions and isolates were also assessed.

A new oleanane-type triterpenoid saponin together with six known saponins were isolated from the roots of Pulsatilla cernua. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data, including 2D NMR spectra and chemical evidence. Compounds 1 and 6 are reported from this genus for the first time.

A major solar radio burst can disturb many kinds of radio instruments, including cellular phone, GPS, and radar. Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) is developing Korean Solar Radio Burst Locator (KSRBL) in collaboration with New Jersey Institute of Technology. KSRBL is a single dish radio spectrograph, which records the spectra of microwave (0.5 - 18 GHz) bursts with 1 MHz spectral resolution and 1 s time cadence, and locates their positions on the solar disk within 2 arcmin. Hardware manufacturing is almost completed including 4-channel digitizer/FPGA. The system is currently installed at Owens Valley Radio Observatory (OVRO), and test of the operation is in progress. It will be installed at KASI in 2009. We report current status and test results of KSRBL.

The pre-emphasis is an essential process for speech signal processing. Widely used two methods are the typical method using a fixed value near unity and te optimal method using the autocorrelation ratio of the signal. This study proposes a new pre-emphasis method using the short-term energy difference of speech signal, which can effectively compensate the glottal source characteristics and lip radiation characteristics. Using the proposed pre-emphasis, speech analysis, such as spectrum estimation, formant detection, is performed and the results are compared with those of the conventional two pre-emphasis methods. The speech analysis with 5 single vowels showed that the proposed method enhanced the spectral shapes and gave nearly constant formant frequencies and could escape the overlapping of adjacent two formants. comparison with FFT spectra had verified the above results and showed the accuracy of the proposed method. The computational complexity of the proposed method reduced to about 50% of the optimal method.

It is generally known that electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is a powerful technique and its real-time application has been demanded for prompt observations on instantaneous electrochemical changes. Nevertheless, long measurement time and laborious analysis procedures have hindered development of it. Solving the problems, here I report of a new algorithm design for development of a real-time electrochemical impedance monitoring system, which potentially provides a guideline in developing monitoring systems of electric vehicles batteries and other electrochemical power plants. The significant progress in this report is employment of the parallel processing protocol which connects independent sub functions to successfully operate with avoiding mutual interruptions. Therefore, all the processes required to monitor electrochemical impedance changes in realtime are properly operated. To realize the conceptual scheme, a Labview program was coded with sub functions units which conduct their processes individually and only data are transferred between them through the parallel pipelines. Finally, measured impedance spectra and analysis results are displayed, which are synchronized according to the time of change.

This paper proposes a new random switching strategy using a DSP TMS320F2812 to reduce the harmonics spectra of single phase switched reluctance motors. The proposed method combines the random turn-on/off angle technique and the random pulse width modulation technique. A harmonic spread factor (HSF) is used to evaluate the random modulation scheme. In order to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method an experiment was conducted. The experimental results show that the harmonic intensity of the output voltage for the proposed method is better than that for conventional methods.

Controlling synthesis conditions of ZnS:Cu,Al and ZnS:Cu electroluminescent phosphors we optimized particle size, color properties and efficiency. Surface properties were studied by new method and showed correlation with luminescence as shown by the analysis of EL spectra with Fok-Alentsev method. Luminance and maintenance improvement was achieved by the electron-beam annealing due to additional decomposition of $ZnS-Cu_{2}S$ solid solution and formation of centers of blue luminescence.

A group of new N,N-bis(5-acetylpyridin-2-yl)phenylamine derivatives was synthesized in good yield applying an optimized Buchwald-Hartwig amination protocol. The synthesized compounds showed UV absorption maxima in the range of 320-360 nm, and showed good luminescence at dilute concentrations in the blue region of the spectra (in the range of 480-497 nm). They showed also a bathochromic shift associating the increase in solvent polarity. The synthesized compounds could be investigated for use in OLEDs or as potential monomers for PLEDs.
