In this paper, we analyze the performance of cooperative communication techniques on an underwater channel. By analyzing the BER performance of cooperative transmission protocol and combining types ERC, FRC, SNRC and ESNRC on underwater channel, through the result, we can choose an a proper cooperative technique for an underwater channel. The analysis of BER performance is achieved by a computer simulation.

Temperature dependences of electronic and thermal transport properties of narrow band gap thermoelectric materials are dependent on the transport behavior of minority carriers as well as majority carriers. Thus, weighted mobility ratio, which is defined the ratio of weighted mobility for majority carriers to that for minority carriers, must be one of the important parameters to enhance the performance of thermoelectric materials. Herein, we provided a practical guide for the development of high-performance Bi-Te-based thermoelectric materials based on the weighted mobility ratio control by considering theoretical backgrounds related to the electronic transport phenomena in semiconductors.

To cope with quest to improve the fuel economy and vehicle performance, Continuously Variable Transmission with Changing the speed ratio between minimum and maximum ratio by infinite step, is more efficient than conventional multi-ratio transmission. In this paper, to investigate a specific CVT shift ratio diagram and CVT shift characteristics, CVT vehicle was tested on the proving ground and chassis dynamometer. The test results are as follows; CVT can obtain the excellent vehicle performance and fuel economy changing the shift ratio by infinite step, without rapid change of engine revolution and driving force. And CVT can set up a special shift range that obtains not only the engine brake effect but also the maximum speed driving.

In this paper, engine-CVT consolidated control algorithm was developed. Engine -CVT control strategy suggested uses throttle control based on power difference and CVT ratio control based in CVT ratio map. Simulation results showed that the larger the rate of CVT ratio, the better the engine performance in the optimal operation line. Also, it was found that the engine performance where the magnitude of the acceleration changes abruptly depends on the magnitude of the rate of CVT ratio. Comparing the results of CVT control only without engine control, the engine-CVT control algorithm suggested in this work showed better performance demonstrating that the consolidated control algorithm should be required for the engine optimal operation.

Taguchi parameter design is an approach to reducing performance variation of quality characteristic value in products and processes. Taguchi has used signal-to-noise(SN) ratio to achieve the appropriate set of operating conditions where variability around target is low in the Taguchi parameter design. Many statisticians criticize the Taguchi techniques of analysis, particularly those based on SN ratio. In this paper we propose a substantially simpler optimization procedure for parameter design without resorting to SN ratio.

PURPOSES :The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of asphalt mixtures containing inorganic additive and a high content of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP). METHODS : The laboratory tests verified the superior laboratory performance of inorganic additive compared to cement, in cold recycled asphalt mixtures. To investigate the moisture susceptibility of the specimens, tensile strength ratio (TSR) tests were performed. In addition, dynamic modulus test was conducted to evaluate the performance of cold recycled asphalt mixture. RESULTS :It was determined that NaOH solution mixed with $Na_2SiO_3$ in the ratio 75:10 provides optimum performance. Compared to Type B and C counterparts, Type A mixtures consisting of an inorganic additive performed better in the Indirect tensile strength test, tensile strength ratio test, and dynamic modulus test. CONCLUSIONS : The use of inorganic additive enhances the indirect strength and dynamic modulus performance of the asphalt mixture. However, additional experiments are to be conducted to improve the reliability of the result with respect to the effect of inorganic additive.

This paper aims to study the mechanical performance of three-tower four-span suspension bridges with steel truss girders, including the static and dynamic characteristics of the bridge system, and more importantly, the influence of structural parameters including the side-main span ratio, sag-to-span ratio and the girder stiffness on key mechanical indices. For this purpose, the Oujiang River North Estuary Bridge which is a three-tower four-span suspension bridge with two main spans of 800m under construction in China is taken as an example in this study. This will be the first three-tower suspension bridge with steel truss girders in the world. The mechanical performance study and parametric analysis are conducted based on a validated three-dimensional spatial truss finite element model established for the Oujiang River North Estuary Bridge using MIDAS Civil. It is found that a relatively small side-main span ratio seems to be quite appropriate from the perspective of mechanical performance. And decreasing the sag-to-span ratio is an effective way to reduce the horizontal force subjected to the midtower and improve the antiskid safety of the main cable, while the vertical stiffness of the bridge will be reduced. However, the girder stiffness is shown to be of minimal significance on the mechanical performance. The findings from this paper can be used for design of three-tower suspension bridges with steel truss girders.

This paper shows a performance estimation of windowing a single tone with added Gaussian noise and uniform noise. Signal-to-noise ratio can be determined by the ratio of the output noisy signal variance to the input noisy signal variance of a window. Standard deviation of noise is reduced by windowing Signal-to-noise ratio of the noisy signal is reduced by the windowing operation. Thus, performance of window function can be determined by this filtering operation that improved the signal-to-noise ratio.

In this study, the performance and structure of a parallel ejector comprised of multiple single ejectors were confirmed through numerical analysis. The same design variables (mass suction ratio, compression ratio, and expansion ratio) relevant to the performance of a single ejector were considered in the design of the parallel ejector. Analytical results showed that there was no significant difference in the performance of either system related to the operating mass suction ratio; however, the systemsize was significantly reduced. In addition, it was confirmed that when ejectors of the same performance capacity are arranged in parallel, the combined mass suction ratio is lower than that of the single ejector, allowing a lower pressure to be realized. The results of the analysis indicated that the parallel ejector's performance is not significantly different from that of any single ejector, but confirmed that the parallel ejector can offer a configurationdependent advantage in size and operation.
