Electrochemical behavior of fluoroquinolone antibacterial agents on carbon paste electrode (CPE) were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and square wave adsorptive stripping voltammetry. The fluoroquinolone antibacterial agents tested in this study were Enrofloxacin (ENR), Norfloxacin (NOR), Ciprofloxacin (CIP), Ofloxacin (OFL) and Levofloxacin (LEV). In acetate buffer at pH 4.5, the oxidation peak potentials of the fluoroquinolone antibacterial agents of ENR, NOR, CIP, OFL, and LEV were 0.952 V, 1.052 V, 1.055 V, 0.983 V, and 0.990 V (vs. Ag/AgCl), respectively. And their oxidation peak currents from square wave adsorptive stripping voltammograms are proportional to the concentration of each antibacterial agent over the range from $0.2\;{\mu}M$ to $1\;{\mu}M$.

Using a single-line pulsed laser beam is well known as a useful noncontact method to generate a directional surface acoustic wave. In this method, different laser beam energy profiles produce different waveforms and frequency characteristics. In this paper, we considered two typical kinds of laser beam energy profiles, Gaussian and square-like, to find out a difference in the frequency characteristics. To achieve this, mathematical models were proposed first for Gaussian laser beam profile and square-like respectively, both of which depended on the laser beam width. To verify the theoretical models, experimental setups with a cylindrical lens and a line-slit mask were respectively designed to produce a line laser beam with Gaussian spatial energy profile and square-like. The frequency responses of the theoretical models showed good agreement with experimental results in terms of the existence of harmonic frequency components and the shift of the first peak frequencies to low.

An improved triangular/square-wave VCO using OTAs is presented. It consists of two OTAs, a timing capacitor, and a resistor. A prototype circuit built with commercially available components exhibits less than 0.01% nonlinearity in its current-to-frequency transfer characteristic from 0.2 to 14 kHz and 450 ppm/$^{\circ}C$ temperature coefficient of frequency over $-20^{\circ}C$ to $40^{\circ}$.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the harmonics of power electronics equipment, especially 3 phase square-wave inverter. In this paper, we simulated 3 phase square-wave inverter by using the matlab and analyzed the simulated output waveforms to analyze the harmonics included in the inverter. In the matlab we expressed to amplitude and phase of harmonics current, and calculated to total harmonics distortion of out voltage.

In this paper, we determined the modulation index for minimization of speed ripple and position error using maximum speed ripple (SRF) and maximum position error(PEF) in current source TPWM inverter. Through computer simulation, we compared with total current harmonic distortion, SRF and PEF for square wave modulation method and TPWM method. As a result, it turns out that square wave modulation method is superior to TPWM method of 3 pulses per half cycle in speed ripple and position error contents. And TPWM is better than square wave method when pulse number is more than 5. Also, in these pulse numbers, moduladtion index of minimum speed ripple and munimum position error is 0.91.

An inventory control system was developed for a distribution system consisting of a single multiproduct warehouse serving a set of customers and purchasing products from multiple vendors. Purchase orders requesting multiple products are delivered to the warehouse in a process. The receipt of customer orders by the warehouse proceeded in order intervals and in order quantities that are subject to random fluctuations. The objective of warehouse operation is to minimize the total cost while maintaining inventory levels within the warehouse capacity by adjusting the purchase order intervals and quantities. An adaptive model predictive control algorithm was developed using a periodic square wave model to represent the material flows. The adaptive concept incorporated a stabilized minimum variance control-type input calculation coupled with input/output stream parameter predictions. The effectiveness of the scheme was demonstrated using simulations.

Analysis of correlation and behavior characteristics at elastic wave velocity have studied on Korean rock data after checking population size and Chi-square method. Behavior characteristics are quite different from each rock and mechanical parameters at elastic wave velocity. This study shows it is necessary to analize correlation to rock behavior characteristics for correct answer from natural rock.

In this paper, wavy square absorbers were experimentally and numerically investigated. Numerical simulations were performed with LS-Dyna software on 36 wavy absorbers and their crushing properties were extracted and compared with the simple one. The effect of different parameters, including wave height, wave depth, and wave type; either internal or external on the crushing characteristics were also investigated. To experimentally create corrugation to validate the numerical results, a set of steel mandrel and matrix along with press machines were used. Since the initial specimens were brittle, they were subjected to heat treatment and annealing to gain the required ductility for forming with mandrel and matrix. The annealing of aluminum shells resulted in a 76%increase in ultimate strain and a 60% and 56% decrease in yield and ultimate stresses, respectively. The results showed that with increasing half-wave height in wavy square absorbers, the maximum force was first reduced and then increased. It was also found that in the specimen with constant diameter and half-wave depth, an increment in the half-wave height led to an initial increase in efficiency, followed by a decline. According to the conducted investigations, the lowe maximum force can be observed in the specimen with zero half-wave depth as compared to those having a depth of 1 cm.

To calculate the wave pressure acting on coastal structures under the design wave condition, it is often necessary to numerically reproduce the big standing wave profiles close to wave breaking condition. For this, the governing equation and all nonlinear terms occurring in boundary conditions should be effectively considered in the numerical wave profile. In particular, the velocity square term in the free surface boundary condition is very important. A boundary element method is applied here to calculate the standing wave profile with the velocity square term fully treated by Newton iterative method. In order to check the validity of the method, the numerical wave profiles are compared to ones calculated by the perturbation method, the Fourier approximation method and the hydraulic experiment.

This paper describes the development of a portable potentiostat which can perform square wave voltammetry on electrochemical sensors and wireless transmission of the measured data to a smartphone using Bluetooth. The potentiostat consists of a square wave potential pulse generation circuit for applying the potential pulse to the electrochemical sensor, a reduction/oxidation (or redox) current measurement circuit, and Bluetooth for wireless data transmission to an Android-based smartphone. The measured data are then processed to show the output graph on the smart phone screen in real time. This data transformation into a graph is carried out by developing and installing a simple transformation application software in the Android-based smartphone. This application software also enables the user to set and change the measurement parameters such as the applied voltage range and measured current range at user's convenience. The square voltammetry output data measured with the developed portable potentiostat were almost same as the data of the commercial potentiostat. The measured oxidation peak current with the commercial potentiostat was $11.35{\mu}A$ at 0.26 V and the measured oxidation peak current with the developed system was $12.38{\mu}A$ at 0.25 V. This proves that performance of the developed portable measurement system is comparable to the commercial one.
