The time simulation of slow drift motions of moored FPSO in waves is presented. The equation of motion based on Cummin's theory of impulse responses are employed, and are consisted of horizonal plane -surge, sway and yaw. The added mass coefficients, wave damping coefficients, first order wave exciting forces and the second order wave drift forces involved in the equations are obtained from a three-dimensional panel method in the frequency domain. The mooring lines are modeled quasistatically as catenary for chains and touchdown. As for numerical example, time domain analyses are carried out for a box-type FPSO in long crest irregular wave condition.

We have derived the luminosity function for subdwarfs on the basis of the proper motion data in LHS Catalogue, utilizing the reduced proper motion diagram for the selection of sub dwarfs and the hybrid method combining the mean absolute magnitude method and V/$V_m$ method to estimate the distance and density of subdwarfs. The luminosity function found here is almost flat, showing a very slow increase up to $M_V\;=\;9$ or $M_B\;=\;10$, and the overall halo density is larger than those derived by Schmidt (1975), Chiu (1980), Reid (1984), Lee (1985), and Dawson (1986), but smaller than that by Eggen (1983). Comparison with 1/100 of disk stellar luminosity function implies that no conclusive dip in the halo luminosity function is found.

In this paper, we propose a inverse synthetic aperture radar(ISAR) rotational motion compensation(RMC) method to remove residual blurring caused by non-uniform rotational motion of a target. First, a range bin having an isolated scatterer is selected. Next, polynomial phase signal in the selected range bin is estimated by using both Fourier transform(FT) and polynomial-phase transform(PPT). Finally, a new slow time variable that uniformly samples radar signal along the aspect angle directions is defined by using the estimated phase signal, and we interpolate radar signal in terms of the new time variable. As a result, rotational motion to blurr ISAR images is removed, and focused ISAR images are obtained. Simulation results using battleship model validate the robustness and effectiveness of our proposed RMC method.

In this paper, we propose a rotational motion compensation(RMC) for bistatic inverse synthetic aperture radar(Bi-ISAR) imaging. For this purpose, geometry-error, caused by changes of bistatic-angle, is removed using known position information of a transmitter, a receiver, and target trajectories. Next, RMC is performed to compensate non-uniform rotational motion error by reformatting radar signal in terms of a newly defined slow time variable that converts non-uniform rotational motion into uniform one. Simulation results using an aircraft model composed of ideal point scatterers validate the efficacy of the proposed Bi-ISAR RMC method.

Plate tectonics, with the continental drift theory and later strongly supported by the sea-floor spreading theory with evidence of paleo-geomagnetic fields, ocean floor sediments, successfully explained the slow but continuous movements of rigid lithospheres in geological time. Initially, plate motions were described as relative movements between adjacent plates, mainly based on paleo-geomagnetic reversal data. The advent of space geodetic techniques in the 1980s enabled direct measurements of plate velocities and assessment of deformations within certain regions. In this review, early relative plate motion models are briefly summarized, the no-net-rotation frame theory and corresponding models are explained, and the characteristics of the most recent models that incorporate intraplate deformation are described. Additionally, the plate motion section of the International Terrestrial Reference Frame is introduced, and a few recent case studies of local plate motion are briefly described; for example, in South America, Europe, Antarctica, and Turkey. Finally, studies of plate motion in northeastern Asia focusing on the Korean Peninsula are introduced.

An experimental investigation was conducted to study natural convection due to temperature and concentration differences between the two opposite end walls of a rectangular enclosure of aspect ratio 0.2. Flow motion in the enclosure appears as a uni-cell flow pattern for the relatively lower concentration and higher temperature differences and vice versa, while it appears as a multicell flow pattern for the comparable temperature and concentration differences. In the multi-cell flow regime, when the cellular flow motiion is very slow, vertical temperature differences within the cells are negligible while the vertical concentration differences are large. In addition, both the temperature and concentration differences are negligible across the interface between the slowly moving cells. For the fast moving cellular flow motion, on thel contrary, vertical temperature differences within the cells are large while the vertical concentration differences are negligible. In this case, temperature differences are negligible and the concentration differences are large across the interface between the fase moving cells.

As a typoon gets into harbour, a moored ships shows erratic motions and even mooring line failures is occurred. Such troubles may be caused by harbour resonance phenomena, result in large motion amplitudes at law frequency, which is closed to the natural frequency of the moored ship. The nonlinear motions of a moored ship beside quay are simulated under external forces due to wave, current including mooring forces in time domain. The forces due to waves are obtained from source and dipole distribution method in the frequency domain. The current forces are calculated by using slow motion maneuvering equation in the horizontal plane. The wind forces are calculated from emperical formula of ABS and the mooring forces of ropes and fenders are modeled as linear spring.

Background: This study evaluates the usability of the Motion-Tracking Gait Assistive Walker (MTGAW) designed for elderly individuals and those with disabilities, identifying areas for improvement through interviews with physical and occupational therapists. Design: A survey study involves the usability test for MTGAW. Methods: Usability evaluations were conducted with 37 physical therapists and occupational therapists. The process included explanation, product usage, satisfaction surveys, and interviews. A satisfaction survey covering 19 items across safety, maneuverability, usability, and management areas was administered. Individual interviews identified areas for improvement. Results: Overall, high satisfaction was reported across the four areas, but interviews highlighted the need for improvements, such as addressing discomfort due to slow speed and enhancing safety measures to prevent rear-end falls. Adjusting the walker's height and width to suit the user's physique was also suggested. Conclusion: MTGAW enhances walking support and hand movement freedom but needs refinement in speed control, fall prevention, and customization based on the user physique. Future efforts should focus on developing an improved MTGAW, considering recommendations from physical therapy experts, and conducting studies to analyze its clinical effectiveness for commercialization.

In this paper, we propose a low-cost and compact motion capture system which enables to play motion games in PS2(Play Station 2). Recently, motion capture systems which are being used as a part in film producing and making games are too expensive and enormous systems. Now days, motion games using common USB camera are slow and have two-dimension recognition. But PSD sensor has a few good points, such as fast and low-cost. In recently year, 3D motion capture systems using 2D PSD (Position Sensitive Detector) optic sensor for motion capturing have been developed. One is Multi-PSD motion capture system applying stereo vision and another is Single-PSD motion capture system applying optical theory ship. But there are some problems to apply them to motion games. The Multi-PSD is high-cost and complicated because of using two more PSD Camera. It is so difficult to make markers having omni-direction equal intensity in Single-PSD. In this research, we propose a new theory that solves aforementioned problems. It can measure 3D coordination if separated two marker's intensity is equal to. We made a system based on this theory and experimented for performance capability. As a result, we were able to develop a motion capture system which is a single, low-cost, fast, compact, wide-angle and an adaptable motion games. The developed system is expected to be useful in animation, movies and games.
