A machining system that generates accurate relative motions between the tool and workpiece is required to realize ultra precise machining or measurements. Accuracy improvements for each element of the machine are also required. This paper proposes a machining system that uses a compensation device for the six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) motion error between the tool and workpiece. The compensation device eliminates elastic and thermal errors of the joints and links due to temperature fluctuations and external forces. A hexapod parallel kinematics mechanism installed between the tool spindle and surface plate is passively actuated by a conventional machine. Then the parallel mechanism measures the 6-DOF motions. We describe the conception and fundamentals of the system and test a passively extensible strut with a compensation device for the joint errors.

We present a microscopic description for generation of 1/f noise in interfaces between cobalt thin film and silicon substrate. Along with surface resistance measurements and transmission electron diffraction observations. 1/f noise power spectral density has been measured for the interfacial structures at the liquid nitrogen temperature . The cobalt films have been deposited by the electron-beam evaporation technique onto p-type (100) silicon in the high vacuum condition. The measured noise power spectral density shows highest magnitude near the structural transition and metallization transition region. The noise magnitude rapidly decreased after the cobalt silicide nucleation. The noise parameter is concluded to be originated form the structural fluctuations.

Reactor Noise is defined as the fluctuations of measured instrumentation signals during full-power operation of reactor which have informations on reactor system dynamics such as neutron kinetics. The Reactor internal structures which consist of many complex components are subjected to flow-induced vibration due to high temperature and pressure in reactor coolant system. The above flow-induced vibration causes degradation of structural integrity of the reactor and may result in loosing mechanical binding component which might impact other equipment and component or cause flow blockage. It is important to analyze reactor noise signal for the early detection of potential problem or failure in order to diagnosis reactor integrity in the point of view of safety and plant economics. Detailed design of hardware diagnostic system reactor internal structures using neutron noise(RIDS).

Flow instability in the rocket turbo pump system can be caused by various reasons such as valve, orifice and venturi, etc. The inception of cavitation, especially in the propellant feeding system, is the primary cause of the mass flow and pressure oscillation due to cyclic formation and depletion of cavitation. Meanwhile, the main propellant in liquid rocket engine is the cryogenic one, which is very sensitive to temperature variation, and the variation of propellant properties caused by thermodynamic effect should be accounted for in the flow analysis. The present study focuses on the formation of cryogenic cavitations by adopting IDM model suggested by Shyy and coworkers. Also, the flow instability was investigated in the downstream of orifice by using a developed numerical code. Calculation results show that cryogenic cavitations can lead to flow instability resulting in mass flow fluctuations due to pressure oscillations. And the prediction of cavitations in cryogenic fluid is of vital importance in designing feeding system of LRE.

We have investigated the quasi-two-dimensional magnetism for the layered transition metal compound (C/sub n/H/sub 2n+1/NH/sub 3/)/sub 2/CuCl/sub 4/ (n=10, 14) in the high temperature regions by means of EPR (Electron Paramagnetic Resonance) and SQUID measurements. As a result, the magnetic transitions were reflected in the EPR linewidths and the magnetic suceptibilities in a sensitive manner. Fluctuations of the magnetic susceptibility and a similar variation of the .DELTA. g =(g/sub .parallel. -/g/sub .perp. /)g/sub .parallel. / value were also observed around the structural phase transition temperatures.

Turbulent thermal mixing experiments by the injection of two parallel non-isothermal water jets have been performed. The turbulent velocities and fluctuations under the isothermal conditions have been measured using LDV system. The velocity vectors have been plotted in two dimensions from the data measured at 29$\times$16 points. The thermal mixing experiments also have been conducted, where we used 45 K-type thermocouples with a sheath diameter of 0.020" which were fixed with 5 mm distance in a line at a measured height. The measured heights were 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 cm from the upper end of rectangular nozzles. We measured the turbulent temperatures under the various flow velocity conditions with 12$^{\circ}C$ $\leq$ $\Delta$T $\leq$4$0^{\circ}C$. The sampling frequency and sampling time were about 420 Hz and 10 seconds, respectively. The measured results of equal velocity parallel jets were analyzed axially and radially to obtain the variation of temperature fluctuation.tion.

The stiffness reduction of cross-ply composite laminates featuring a transverse cracking and delamination within the mid-layer is predicted through utilization of a modified shear-lag model, incorporating a stress perturbation function. Good agreement is obtained by comparing the prediction models and experimental data. The material characteristics of the composite are affected by fluctuations in temperature and transient moisture concentration distribution in desorption case, based on a micro-mechanical model of laminates. The transient and non-uniform moisture concentration distribution induces a stiffness reduction. The obtained results demonstrate the stiffness degradation dependence on factors such as cracks density, thickness ratio and environmental conditions. The present study underscores the significance of comprehending the degradation of material properties in the failure progression of laminates, particularly in instances of extensive delamination growth.

Growth and other biological processes in aquatic organisms are particularly dependent on water temperatures. This study examined the effects of water temperature on the growth of Triops longicaudatus. The influence of water temperature fluctuations was that growth rate was increased at higher temperatures. The mean carapace length was 5.7 (${\pm}2.1$) mm in a water temperature of $20^{\circ}C$ and 7.5 (${\pm}0.5$) mm in a water temperature of $28^{\circ}C$ on the 14th day after submergence. It was 6.9 (${\pm}2.8$) mm in a water temperature of $20^{\circ}C$ and 7.8 (${\pm}2.0$) mm in a water temperature of $28^{\circ}C$ on the 21st day after submergence. The mean carapace length grew rapidly within 14 days after submergence, but increase in carapace length beyond this time was slow. The influence of water depth fluctuations was low as the mean carapace length was 9.3 (${\pm}2.1$) mm under a water depth of 80 mm and 9.5 (${\pm}1.3$) mm under a water depth of 190 mm on the 19th day after submergence. Biomass showed that the carapace length of 5, 10, 16 and 20 mm was a dry-weight of 1.1 (${\pm}0.3$), 18.0 (${\pm}3.7$), 26.0 (${\pm}0.0$) and 52.3 (${\pm}4.0$) mg respectively. The number of eggs increased rapidly with increments in carapace length. The mean number of eggs was 20 (${\pm}0.0$) at a carapace length of 7.0 mm, but at a carapace length of 17.0 mm, the mean number of eggs was 560 (${\pm}0.0$). The results suggested that differences in water temperature accounted for the differences in length of the carapace and the number of eggs.

In this study, spectral analysis was conducted to identify environmental factors af ecting short-term changes in water temperature in the East, West and South coasts of Korea. The data used in the spectrum analysis is the 2016 summer water temperature, air temperature, tide level and wind data provided by Korea Hydrographic & Oceanographic Agency. In power spectrum results, peaks of water temperature and tide level were observed at same periods in West Sea (Incheon, Pyeungteak, Gunsan and Mokpo) and South Sea (Wando, Goheung, Yeosu, Tongyeong and Masan) where mean tidal range was more than 100 cm. On the other hand, periodicity of water temperature did not appear in East Sea and Busan where the mean tidal range was small. Coherence analysis showed that water temperature was highly correlated with tide in West Sea and three stations(Wando, Goheung and Tongyeong) of South Sea. Especially, correlation between water temperature and tide level in Wando and Tongyeong presented 0.96 at semi-diurnal period. Water temperature in Yeosu seems to have influenced by tide and inflow of fresh water. In Masan, water temperature is influenced by south wind, tide and inflow of fresh water. In East Sea, influence of tide on water temperature is small due to current and small tidal range. As a result of comparing the time series graph, stations where the correlation between water temperature and tide is high show that relatively cold water was inputted at flood tide and flow out at ebb tide. short-term variation of water temperature was affected by tide, but long-term variation over a month was affected by air temperature.

To understand the effects of marine environmental and meteorological parameters on laver Porphyra yezoensis production at Nakdong River Estuary, we analyzed marine environmental (water temperature, salinity, nutrients, etc.) and meteorological properties (air temperature, wind speed, precipitation, sunshine hours) with yearly and monthly variations in laver production over 10 years (2003-2013). Air and water temperature, wind speed, sunshine hours and precipitation were major factors affecting yearly variability in laver production at the Nakdong River Estuary. Lower air and water temperatures together with higher levels of nutrients and sunshine and stronger wind speeds resulted in higher laver harvests. Salinity and nitrogen did not show clear correlations with laver production, mainly due to the plentiful supply of nitrogen from river discharge and the low frequency of environmental measurements, which resulted in low statistical confidence. However, environmental factors affecting monthly laver production were related to the life cycle (culturing stage) of Porphyra yezoensis and were somewhat different from factors affecting annual laver production. In November, a young laver needs lower water temperatures for rapid growth, while a mature laver needs much stronger winds and more sunshine, as well as lower temperatures for massive production and effective photosynthesis, mostly in December and January. However, in spring (March), more stable environments with fewer fluctuations in air temperature are needed to sustain the production of newly deployed culture-nets ($2^{nd}$ time culture). These results indicate that rapid changes in weather and marine environments caused by global climate change will negatively affect laver production and, thus, to sustain the yield of and predict future variability in laver production at the Nakdong River estuary, environmental variation around laver culturing farms needs to be monitored with high resolution in space and time.
