  • A numerical approach based on a potential flow method is developed to simulate the unsteady interaction between propeller and rudder. In this approach, a panel method is used to solve the flow around the rudder and a vortex lattice method is used to solve the flow around the propeller, respectively. An iterative procedure is adopted to solve the interaction between propeller and rudder. The effects of one component on the other are evaluated by using induced velocities due to the other component at every time step. A fully unsteady wake alignment algorithm is implemented into the vortex lattice method to simulate the unsteady propeller flow. The Rosenhead-Moore core model is employed during the wake alignment procedure to avoid the singularities and instability. The Lamb-Oseen vortex model is adopted in the present method to decay the vortex strength around the rudder and to eliminate unrealistically high induced velocity. The present methods are applied to predict the performance of a cavitating horn-type rudder in the presence of a 6-bladed propeller. The predicted cavity patterns compare well with those observed from the experiments.

  • AMPA receptor (AMPAR)s are heterotetrameric structures made up from 4 units (GluR1-4) and are thought to underlie perception of persistent inflammatory pain. Complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)-evoked inflammation induces synaptic GluR2 internalization, which is initiated by GluR2 phosphorylation, in dorsal horn neurons during the maintenance of CFA-induced hypersensitivity. The present study investigated whether electroacupuncture (EA) stimulation has any effect on GluR2 trafficking by using immunoblot and immunohistochemistry. We examined that CFA-induced dorsal horn GluR2 internalization was attenuated by EA treatment. EA treatment could also decrease the level of pGluR2 regardless of whether CFA injection was administrated or not. In addition, previous studies suggest that microglial cells are increased without morphological change in CFA injected animal. In our study, increases in microglial cells in CFA group were observed, whereas EA with or without CFA-injected group showed similar aspects with normal group. In conclusion, our results indicate that EA might blunt CFA-evoked inflammation by coordinating mechanisms at the upstream step of neuron activation and GluR2 phosphorylation.

  • In this paper, the behaviour of cavitation erosion, influence of corrosion and corrosion control on slide bearing metals for internal combustion engine were investigated, and this experiment was done by the vibratory cavitation erosion tester. The main results obtained are as follows: 1. With decreasing the space between horn and specimen, the weight loss and its rate increased step by step. But the weight loss and its rate of 0.2mm space decreased conversely more than that of 0.4mm space at early stage. 2. The weight loss and its rate with change of pH were appeared to the order of pH2>pH12>pH7>pH4. And the weight loss and its rate at pH 4 decreased at best. 3. The weight loss and its rate by cavitation erosion for bearing metals were shown to the order of W.M7>W.M1>K.M4. 4. There appeared mainly small pit hole at pH2, and appeared the pit of netting thread type at pH12 by the results of the damaged surfaces at pH2 and pH12 environments that were sensitive to cavitation erosion. 5. With increasing the viscosity of lubricating oil, the weight loss rate by cavitation erosion became dull at the space below 0.5mm. 6. The protective efficiency of cavitation erosion-corrosion is superior inhibitor of chormate(25 ppm) to cathodic protection.

  • High-quality single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were synthesized by catalytic decomposition of $C_2H_2$ using Fe-Mo/MgO catalyst at $800^{\circ}C$. The as-synthesized SWCNTs typically occurred in the form of a bundle with a diameter of 10~20 nm together with amorphous carbon and catalytic impurities, which were removed by a two-step purification process consisting of oxidation and an acid treatment. The oxidation step, using an $O_2$-Ar mixture at $380^{\circ}C$ for 5 hr in a vertical-type furnace and a $HNO_3$ treatment at $100^{\circ}C$ for one hour, was utilized to remove the amorphous carbon particles. Subsequently, metallic catalysts were removed in HCl at room temperature for 5 hr under magnetic stirring. The SWCNT suspension was prepared by dispersing the purified SWCNTs in an aqueous sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate solution with horn-type sonication. This was then air-sprayed on glass to fabricate CNT field emitters. The samples had a turn-on field value of 4 V/${\mu}m$ and a current density of 0.67 mA/$cm^2$ at 9 V/${\mu}m$. Increasing the HCl treatment time improved the field emission properties.

  • A museum's collections is fundamental factors to construct important activity of museum performing a role as cultural facility for learning, education and research. Therefore, conservation of collections through appropriate environments is previously established in step of planing a museum. Hereby, the purpose of this study is to set up the classification of collections and suggest a useful guidance of the storage division in a domestic museum. The results of this study are as follows. First, the main factors of deterioration are temperature and relative humidity in a museum storage, so classification of collections should be set up according to the objective standards of these factors. Second, the classification of collections can be performed as follow: the group for nonorganic materials subdivide metal, chinaware, earthenware, and jade stone, the group for organic materials subdivide leather hair paper fabric, bone horn shell mound and wood herbage and the group for composed materials. Third, for storage division of a domestic museum, basically has to consider that it is reasonable to plan $4{\sim}5$ storages in metal, jade stone, chinaware earthenware, and organic materials of $1{\sim}2$ units in case of a serial of history like archaeological, antique museum. And in case of folk relics of modern and contemporary arts are collected, it is reasonable to plan over 5 storages add composed materials to foregoing classification.

  • Xanthoceras sorbifolia seed coat (XSSC) is a processing residue of the bioenergy crop. This work aimed to evaluate the applicability of using the steam explosion to modify the residue for dye biosorption from aqueous solutions by using methylene blue as a model cationic dye. Equilibrium, kinetic and thermodynamic parameters for the biosorption of methylene blue on the steam-exploded XSSC (SE-XSSC) were evaluated. The kinetic data followed the pseudo-second-order model, and the rate-limiting step was the chemical adsorption. Intraparticle diffusion was one of the rate-controlling factors. The equilibrium data agreed well with the Langmuir isotherm, and the biosorption was favorable. The steam-explosion pretreatment strongly affected the biosorption in some respects. It reduced the adsorption rate constant and the initial sorption rate of the pseudo-second-order model. It enhanced the adsorption capacity of methylene blue at higher temperatures while reduced the capacity at lower ones. It changed the biosorption from an exothermic process driven by both the enthalpy and the entropy to an endothermic one driven by entropy only. It increased the surface area and decreased the pH point of zero charge of the biomass. Compared with the native XSSC, SE-XSSC is preferable to MB biosorption from warmer dye effluents.

  • The art of carpet weaving is the most habitual form of traditional art in Azerbaijan, it reflects a rich inner world and occupies a special place in the history of a national culture's development. The Azerbaijani carpet has always stood out for its plots, ornaments, compositions, and high quality and the Azerbaijani people, faithful to their spiritual values, have protected and developed it throughout the centuries. In this article, several Ganja-Gazakh-type carpets from the Azerbaijan National Carpet Museum collection and their artistic and technical characteristics are discussed. Specimens of material, sacred language, and ornamentation are considered. The deepest meaning is embodied in tamga in particular. Tamga is a unique phenomenon serving as an amulet, lineage sign, and self-identification of Turkic peoples. The Gazakh carpets of the Ganja-Gazakh type cover the Gazakh region of Azerbaijan, the Borchali region of Georgia, and the Goycha Lake region of Armenia. Karapapakh Azerbaijani Turks have inhabited these areas since ancient times. Tarakama (nomads) are often equated with the name Karapapakh (black hat). One of the densely populated regions of Tarakama is Gazakh. Gazakh, Garagoyunlu, Salahli, Shikhli, Kamarli, Damirchilar, Gaymagli, Goycali, Daghkasaman, Oysuzlu, Gachagan, and pile carpets with different compositions are woven in the Gazakh carpet weaving center. Large, simple in form, step-shaped or hook-like medallions, horn-shaped patterns, animal images, and stamps with symbols of ancient Turkic tribes characterize the Gazakh carpet weaving group.

  • This paper proposes an FSS(Frequency Selective Surface) design system that automatically derives design parameters minimally specified by engineers. The proposed system derives optimal design parameters through theory of electromagnetic scattering on FSS, database implemented from real data obtained from practically manufactured FSS, and GA(Genetic Algorithm) for optimizing design parameters. The system, at the first step, searches the best matching FSS within preconstructed DB with given characteristics specified by operators, and then sets initial genes from the searched FSS parameters. GA iterates the optimization process until the system finds the FSS design parameters that matches the characteristics specified by operators. The theory for the electromagnetic scattering on FSS is verified by comparing the simulation results with real data obtained by measuring system composed of horn antenna and receiver. The process for manufacturing the FSS is also included in the paper.

  • High-quality double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) were synthesized by catalytic decomposition method at $800^{\circ}C$ using Tetrahydrofuran. The as-synthesized DWCNTs typically have catalytic impurities and amorphous carbon, which were removed by two-step purification process, consisting of thermal oxidation and H2O2, HNO3, HCl treatment. The DWCNT suspension was prepared by dispersing the purified DWCNTs in an aqueous sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate solution with horn-type sonication. This was then sprayed on ITO glass to fabricate CNT field emitters. The quality of purified DWCNTs was estimated with X-ray diffraction and Thermal Gravity Analysis. The field emission properties were improved by increasing the process time of HCl treatment.
