Netflix, Amazon Prime, and YouTube are the most popular and fastest-growing streaming services globally. It is a matter of great interest for the streaming service providers to preview their service infrastructure and streaming strategy in order to provide new streaming services. Hence, the first part of the paper presents a detailed survey of the Content Distribution Network (CDN) and cloud infrastructure of these service providers. To understand the streaming strategy of these service providers, the second part of the paper deduces a common quality-of-service (QoS) model based on rebuffering time, bitrate, progressive download ratio, and standard deviation of the On-Off cycle. This model is then used to analyze and compare the streaming behaviors of these services. This study concluded that the streaming behaviors of all these services are similar as they all use Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) on top of TCP. However, the amount of data that they download in the buffering state and steady-state vary, resulting in different progressive download ratios, rebuffering levels, and bitrates. The characteristics of their On-Off cycle are also different resulting in different QoS. Hence a thorough adaptive bit rate (ABR) analysis is presented in this paper. The streaming behaviors of these services are tested on different access network bandwidths, ranging from 75 kbps to 30 Mbps. The survey results indicate that Netflix QoS and streaming behavior are significantly consistent followed by Amazon Prime and YouTube. Our approach can be used to compare and contrast the streaming services' strategies and finetune their ABR and flow control mechanisms.

Metal fuel, which was abandoned in the 1960's in favor of oxide fuel, has since then proven to be a viable fast reactor fuel. Key discoveries allowed high burnup capability and excellent steady-state as well as off-normal performance characteristics. Metal fuel is a key to achieving inherent passive safety characteristics and compact and economic fuel cycle closure based on electrorefining and injection-casting refabrication.

In this paper, we present the results of the wear analysis of journal bearings on a stripped-down single-cylinder engine during start-up and coast-down by motoring. We calculate journal bearing wear by using a modified specific wear rate considering the fractional film defect coefficient and load-sharing ratio for the asperity portion of a mixed elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) regime coupled with previously presented graphical data of experimental lifetime linear wear in radial journal bearings. Based on the calculated wear depth, we obtain a new oil film thickness for every crank angle. By examination of the oil film thickness, we determine whether the oil film thickness at the wear scar region is in a mixed lubrication regime by comparing dimensionless oil film thickness, h/σ, to 3.0 at every crank angle. We present the lift-off speed and the crank angles involved with the wear calculation for bearings #1 and #2. The dimensionless oil film thickness, h/σ, illustrates whether the lubrication region between the two surfaces is still within the bounds of the mixed lubrication regime after scarring of the surface by wear. In addition, we present in tables the asperity contact pressure, the real minimum film thickness at the wear scar region, the modified specific wear rate, and the wear angle, α, for bearings #1 & #2. To show the real shape of the oil film at wear scar region, we depict the actual oil film thickness in graphs. We also tabulated the ranges of bearing angles related with wear scar. We present the wear volume for bearings #1 and #2 after one turn-on and turn-off of the engine ignition switch for five kinds of equivalent surface roughness. We show that the accumulated wear volume after a single turn-on and turn-off of an ignition switch normally increases with increasing surface roughness, with a few exceptions.

비도로용 차량의 경우 대부분 디젤엔진을 사용하여 엔진의 특성상 PM과 NOx의 배출이 많은 단점이 있다. 승용 및 상용 디젤 차량의 경우 CRDI 및 후처리 장치를 적용하였고 후처리 장치로 DOC/DPF를 장착함으로써 PM은 약 90% 이상 저감 가능하다. 상반관계인 NOx는 EGR 사용을 통해 1차적으로 NOx 배출량을 감소시키고 LNT, LNC, Urea-SCR 등의 DeNOx 시스템으로 NOx의 배출량을 보다 현저히 저감시켜 배기규제를 만족시키고 있다. 본 연구에서는 tier 4 interim 배기규제를 만족하기 위해 56kW급 오프로드 차량으로 연구를 진행하였다. NOx의 감소를 위해 WGT와 전자 제어방식의 HPL EGR 시스템을 적용하였고 CO와 THC, PM 배출가스를 줄이기 위해 DOC와 DPF를 사용하였다. EGR 시스템을 적용하기 위해 각 조건에 대한 기본 실험을 실시하여 EGR map을 작성하였다. 작성된 map을 NRTC 모드에서 시험하여 map의 적용성을 검증하고 tier 4 interim 배기규제 만족여부를 파악하였다.

GPS와 Wi-Fi를 이용한 위치 추적 시스템은 IEEE 802.11 기반으로 하는 다수의 AP들로 구성된 무선 네트워크 인프라가 구축되어 있는 환경에서 추가 비용 없이 이용 가능하여 다양한 응용분야에서 유용하게 활용될 수 있다. 기존의 시스템은 위치 추적용 태그의 단가가 비싼 범용 장치를 사용하였으며 전력소모를 위한 고려가 부족하였다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 GPS와 Wi-Fi를 이용한 저전력을 고려한 위치 추적 시스템을 제안한다. 먼저, 저전력 하드웨어 기반으로 위치 추적에 최적화된 태그를 설계하고 구현한다. 또한 구현한 태그가 저전력으로 동작할 수 있는 핸드오프 기법, 동작 모델을 제안한다. 제안하는 핸드오프 기법은 IEEE 802.11 표준 핸드오프 방식이 채널검색 동작 시 많은 송수신이 발생함에 따라 큰 전력소모가 발생하는 문제를 위치 정보를 활용하여 해결한다. 또한 제안하는 동작 모델은 절전모드와 duty cycle 개념을 사용하여 태그의 전력소모를 최소화하였다. 제안하는 시스템의 성능을 평가하기 위해 실제 환경을 모델링한 시뮬레이션을 수행하고 실제 측정한 태그의 각 동작에 따른 전류소비를 기반으로 전력소모량을 계산한다. 시뮬레이션 결과 제안하는 핸드오프 기법은 표준 핸드오프에 비해 약 59%, 제안하는 동작 모델의 경우 기본 동작 모델에 비해 약 98%의 전력소모를 줄일 수 있었다.

Major countries have tighten their NOx regulation of diesel passenger cars. In the case of the EU, the regulation has been toughen up to 6.25 times since 2000. Despite the regulation the NOx concentration of the ambient has not been reduced proportionally. As these issues, to reduce NOx emission practically, Korea and the EU introduced the real-world driving emission (RDE) regulation and the test method that will be applied after 2017. In this paper, for the regulation to make a soft landing in Korea, 6 diesel passenger cars which met Euro 6a~6d regulation and were equipped with LNT/SCR were tested at a chassis dynamometer with environmental chamber applying the off-cycles (FTP, US06, SC03, HWFET and CADC) and several ambient conditions (-7 and $14^{\circ}C$) as well as certification modes (NEDC, WLTC@ $23^{\circ}C$). The result of the test showed that the ambient temp. and the engine load as a test mode impacted the NOx emission of the cars while the vehicles with SCR emitted NOx lower than with LNT. Additionally, to propose an effective RDE test method, the above result was compared with the results of the other papers which tested RDE using the same cars.

This paper presents a wear analysis procedure for calculating the wear of journal bearings during the start-up and coast-down cycles of a motoring stripped-down single cylinder engine operating with a tilted shaft. In order to decide whether the lubrication state of a journal bearing is in the mixed-elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication regime, we utilize lift-off speed and MOFT (most oil film thickness) under mixed-elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication regime at the corresponding aligned shaft. We formulate an equation for the modified film thickness in a misaligned journal bearing considering the additional wear volume described in Part I of this study. For this, we use the calculation results of the degree of misalignment and tilting angle obtained after finding the eccentricities of the two bearings supporting the crankshaft of a single cylinder engine. In this Part II, we calculate the wear of journal bearings using the fractional film defect coefficient, the asperity load sharing factor, and the modified specific wear rate for the application of mixed-elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication regime. We show that the accumulated wear volume after turning the ignition switch on and off once, increases to ${\sigma}=39{\mu}m$ and then decreases from ${\sigma}=39{\mu}m$ with increasing in surface roughness.

Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) power plant converts coal to syngas, which is mainly composed of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, by the gasification process and produces electric power by the gas and steam turbine combined cycle power plant. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of using syngas in a gas turbine, originally designed for natural gas fuel, on its performance. A commercial gas turbine is selected and variations of its performance characteristics due to adopting syngas is analyzed by simulating off-design gas turbine operation. Since the heating value of the syngas is lower, compared to natural gas, IGCC plants require much larger fuel flow rate. This increases the gas flow rate to the turbine and the pressure ratio, leading to far larger power output and higher thermal efficiency. Examination of using two different syngases reveals that the gas turbine performance varies much with the fuel composition.
