Cable-beam structures characterized by variable stiffness nonlinearities are widely found in various structural engineering applications, for example in space deployable structures. Space deployable structures in orbit experience both high temperature caused by sun's radiation and low temperature by Earth's umbral shadow. The space temperature difference is above 300K at the moment of exiting or entering Earth's umbral shadow, which results in structural thermally induced vibration. To understand the thermally induced oscillations, the analytical expression of Boley parameter of cable-beam structures is firstly deduced. Then, the thermally induced vibration of cable-beam structures is analyzed using finite element method to verify the effectiveness of Boley parameter. Finally, by analyzing the obtained numerical results and the corresponding Boley parameters, it can be concluded that the derived expression of Boley parameter is valid to evaluate the occurrence conditions of thermally induced vibration of cable-beam structures and the key parameters influencing structural thermal flutter are the cable stiffness and thickness of beams.

We present a machine learning approach to estimating stellar atmospheric parameters, effective temperature (Teff), surface gravity (log g), and metallicity ([Fe/H]) for stars observed during the course of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). For training a neural network, we randomly sampled the SDSS data with stellar parameters available from SEGUE Stellar Parameter Pipeline (SSPP) to cover the parameter space as wide as possible. We selected stars that are not included in the training sample as validation sample to determine the accuracy and precision of each parameter. We also divided the training and validation samples into four groups that cover signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) of 10-20, 20-30, 30-50, and over 50 to assess the effect of S/N on the parameter estimation. We find from the comparison of the network-driven parameters with the SSPP ones the range of the uncertainties of 73~123 K in Teff, 0.18~0.42 dex in log g, and 0.12~0.25 dex in [Fe/H], respectively, depending on the S/N range adopted. We conclude that these precisions are high enough to study the chemical and kinematic properties of the Galactic disk and halo stars, and we will attempt to apply this technique to Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST), which plans to obtain about 8 million stellar spectra, in order to estimate stellar parameters.

Transformer is widely used element on power system and industrial area. Especially the transformers installed at power system are exposed to an environment of arbitrary changed. Thus the prediction of degradation and the analysis of response to impulse are important. To conduct those works, the electrical characteristics of system should be analyzed, effectively. But the analysis of electrical characteristic in electric machine level such as pole and pad-mounted transformer is almost no, thus commercial VNA (Vector Network Analyzer) is used to getting the response in wide frequency range. However, the output power of VNA is usually under 10mW, so verification for effectiveness of measuring electrically large component should be conducted, firstly. Next, after getting total S-parameter of transformer, predicting impulse response can be performed in time-domain with circuit simulator. In this paper, it is introduced that verification effectiveness of VNA using transfer function from SFRA (Sweep Frequency Response Analyzer), firstly. Next, total S-parameter, six by six matix form, was built using measured 2 port S-parameter from vector network analyzer. To get the response to impulse which is defined by IEC 60060-1, time-domain simulation is conducted to ADS (Advenced Design System) circuit simulator.

Free vibration of non-uniform embedded nanoplates based on classical (Kirchhoff's) plate theory in conjunction with nonlocal elasticity theory has been studied. The nanoplate is assumed to be rested on two-parameter Winkler-Pasternak elastic foundation. Non-uniform material properties of nanoplates have been considered by taking linear as well as quadratic variations of Young's modulus and density along the space coordinates. Detailed analysis has been reported for all possible casesof such variations. Trial functions denoting transverse deflection of the plate are expressed in simple algebraic polynomial forms. Application of the present method converts the problem into generalised eigen value problem. The study aims to investigate the effects of non-uniform parameter, elastic foundation, nonlocal parameter, boundary condition, aspect ratio and length of nanoplates on the frequency parameters. Three-dimensional mode shapes for some of the boundary conditions have also been illustrated. One may note that present method is easier to handle any sets of boundary conditions at the edges.

In this paper, a parameter optimization method of RIO-DC (RED (Random Early Detection) with In and Out-De-Coupled Queues) scheme for Assured Service (AS) in Differentiated Services (DiffServ) is proposed. In order to optimize QoS (Quality of Service) performance of the RIO-DC policy for AS in terms of maximum tolerable latency, link utilization, fairness, etc., we should design router nodes with proper RIO-DC operating parameter values. Therefore, we propose a RIO-DC configuration method and the admission control criterion, considering the allocated bandwidth to each subclass and the corresponding buffer size, to increase throughput for In-profile traffic and link utilization. Simulation results show that RIO-DC with the proposed parameter values guarantees QoS performance comparable with the RIO scheme and it improves fairness between AS flows remarkably.

An accurate large-signal BSIM4 macro model including new empirical bias-dependent equations of the drain-source capacitance and channel resistance constructed from bias-dependent data extracted from S-parameters of RF MOSFETs is developed to reduce $S_{22}$-parameter error of a conventional BSIM4 model. Its accuracy is validated by finding the much better agreement up to 40 GHz between the measured and modeled $S_{22}$-parameter than the conventional one in the wide bias range.

본 연구에서는 EMG를 이용한 수리적 parameter를 사용하여동일한 병명(L4/L5 herniated disk)의 요통환자들의 근육활동의 정상 여부를 측정하였다. 특히 본 연구에서는 동작분석기를 사용하지 않고 근 전도의 주기를 판독하여 기존의 연구에서 사용되었던 것보다 측정이간편하고, 주관적 통증 정도가 낮 은 환자를 대상으로 실험함으로써 통증이 parameter에 미치는 심리적 영향을 최소화하였다. 또한 본 연 구에서는 동작주기마다의 근전도 신호의 변이도(variance ratio)를 새로운 parameter로 선정하여 검증하 였다. 측정된 자료를 분석한 결과 quadriceps-hamstrings의 peak time difference와 erector spinae- rectus abdominis의 coexcitation이 통계적으로 매우 유의하게 요통환자와 정상인을 구분해주는 지표임이 확인되었고, rectus abdominis와 externa/internal oblique의 근전도 변이도(variance ratio)가 진단지표 로서 의미가 있음이 밝혀졌다. 본 연구의 방법은 차후 다양한 환자군에 대한 자료와 정상인에 대한 자료를 DB화 함으로써 진단기법으로 사용할 수 있는 가능성을 보여주었다. 이 방법은 차후 요통의 조기 발견과 예 방에 기여할 것으로 기대한다.

For a probabilistic model with positively skewed data, a lognormal distribution is one of the key distributions that play a critical role. Several lognormal models can be found in various areas, such as medical science, engineering, and finance. In this paper, we propose a new estimator for a lognormal mean and depict the performance of the proposed estimator in terms of the relative mean squared error (RMSE) compared with Shen's estimator (Shen et al., 2006), which is considered the best estimator among the existing methods. The proposed estimator includes a tuning parameter. By finding the optimal value of the tuning parameter, we can improve the average performance of the proposed estimator over the typical range of σ². The bias reduction of the proposed estimator tends to exceed the increased variance, and it results in a smaller RMSE than Shen's estimator. A numerical study reveals that the proposed estimator has performance comparable with Shen's estimator when σ² is small and exhibits a meaningful decrease in the RMSE under moderate and large σ² values.
