This study deals with the turn penalty functions in the urban transportation demand forecasting. The objectives are to develop the penalty functions of left-turn traffic in the case of signalized intersections, and to analyze the applicability of the functions to the traffic assignment models. This is based on the background that the existing models can not effectively account for the delays of left-turn traffic which is bigger than that of through traffic. In pursuing the above, this study gives particular attention to developing the penalty functions based on the degrees of saturation by simulation results of Transyt-7F, and analyzing the applicability of the functions by the case study of Cheongju. The major findings are the followings. First, two penalty functions developed according to the degrees of saturation, are evaluated to be all statistically significant. Second, the results that the above functions apply to the Cheongju network, are analyzed to be converging, though the iteration numbers increase. Third, the link volumes forecasted by turn penalty functions are evaluated to be better fitted to the observed data than those by the existing models. Finally, the differences of traffic volumes assigned by two functions, which are exponential and divided forms, are analyzed to be very small.

The hemming process, composed of flanging, pre-hemming and main hemming, is the last one of a series of forming processes conducted on the automotive panels, having greater influence on the outward appearance of cars rather than on their performance. The hem quality can be quantitatively defined by the hemming defects including turn-down/up, warp and roll-in/out. However, it is difficult to evaluate and predict the hem quality through an experimental measurement or a numerical calculation since the size of defects is very small. This study aims to precisely evaluate the hemming defects, especially turn-down and roll-in, through numerical and experimental approaches and to investigate the influence of process parameters on the hem quality, focused on how to simulate the same conditions as in the experiment by the finite element analysis (FEA). The FEA results on the turn-down and roll-in obtained from a model composed of the optimum-sized elements, including a spring element linked to the flanging pad, and given the double master contact condition between the inner and outer panels, had a good correlation with the experimental data. It is thought possible to make an early estimate of the hem quality in a practical automotive design by applying the methodology proposed in this study.

This paper proposes an improved soft switching two-transistor forward converter which uses a novel lossless snubber circuit to effectively control the turn-off dv/dt rate of the main transistors. In the proposed soft switching implementation the turn-off voltage traces across the main two transistors are almost the same contributing to reduce the total capacitive turn-on loss and the snubber current is divided into the two transistors resulting in distributed thermal stresses

Series connection of power switching semiconductor elements is unavoidable when a high voltage convertor is aimed. However, it is important to equalize distribution of turn-off voltage because the switching elements have different characteristics. In this paper optimal switching control algorithm is proposed so that series connected poker switching semiconductor elements can be always switched simultaneous turn-on and turn-off.

As a fundamental investigation to develop a sensor which is able to detect shorted turn phenomenon of generator rotor, we have experimented with self-made sensor using flux generator and high-resolution oscilloscope. We have recorded sensor-induced voltage according to the different condition, such as variations of turn, diameter and length of sensor. Based on the acquired data, we analyzed and simulated under similar circumstances of actual spot to maximize reliability. We have a plan to invest more resources to supply power plants with the developed sensor for ourselves.

After the "spatial turn" space narrative has become the hottest "doctrine". Howe er, the current space narrative to a bottleneck stage, a variety of reasons. "Spatial turn" of the modern trend of thought has a unshirkable responsibility. Has been, scholars turned to "empty" the complex relationship between space narrative and, type of narrative space narrative theory problem also not too clear by the noun, the term textual research, narrative of space studies provide some of the necessary theoretical support, to promote the healthy de elopment of the research on novel narrative space.

The application of PPLT is difficult to analyze and judge only from the effects of the delay time. In this study, the application of PPLT was proposed using not only the delay time of PLT and PPLT due to the change in traffic volume and the number of opposite straight lanes but also the traffic volume of passing a left turn and the number of conflict risks as indicators. According to the analysis, the more left-turn traffic than capacity and the less opposite-straight volume, the greater the PPLT effect. On the other hand, if the left-turn traffic is below capacity, the delay time will be reduced partially, but the overall passing left turn volume will not increase, and the conflict risk will increase. In addition, the conflict risk increases in the third lane or higher. Moreover, the difference of passing left-turn volume between PLT and PPLT showed a pattern similar to the delay time difference, and the PPLT coverage was wider than the difference in delay time and was associated more with the conflict risk numbers. Therefore, it would be reasonable to use passing left-turn traffic primarily, consider the delay time below the left-turn capacity, and consider the conflicting risk numbers simultaneously at or above the opposite straight three lanes.

The purpose of this study is to provide the criteria for implementing unprotected left turn at intersections with variation of traffic volume on a cross road approach. Using Transyt-7F model, the delays calculated from permissive and protected left turn signal system were compared by gradually increasing the left turn volume for a certain opposing through volume up to the volume limits to which permissive left turn is more effective, Average stopped delay of the intersection was used as the measure of effectiveness in this study. The major conclusions are (1) the lighter the traffic gets in a cross road, the more the allowable left turn volume increases. The allowable left turn volume when the ratio of cross traffic to the concerned approach traffic is 0.6 appears about 50% more than the volume when the ratio is 1.0. (2) Comparing to the criteria of the manual of traffic safety facility, the results when the traffic ratio is 0.6 seem to be most similar the criteria of manual and the results when the traffic ratio are 0.8 and 1.0 appears to be lower than the criteria of manual. (3) The possible amount of making a left turn that is inversely proportional to the opposing through traffic, decreases as the number of opposing through lanes increases. The products of volume need to be used as the criteria of permissive left turn with considerable cautions because of its low consistency.

We have presented a nanoelectromechanical (NEM) model based on atomistic simulations. Our models were applied to a NEM device as called a nanotube random access memory (NRAM) operated by an atomistic capacitive model including a tunneling current model. We have performed both static and dynamic analyses of a NRAM device. The turn-on voltage obtained from molecular dynamics simulations was less than the half of the turn-on voltage obtained from the static simulation. Since the suspended carbon nanotube (CNT) oscillated with the amplitude for the oscillation center under an externally applied force, the quantity of the CNT-gold interaction in the static analysis was different from that in the dynamic analysis. When the gate bias was applied, the oscillation centers obtained from the static analysis were different from those obtained from the dynamics analysis. Therefore, for the range of the potential difference that the CNT-gold interaction effects in the static analysis were negligible, the vibrations of the CNT in the dynamics analysis significantly affected the CNT-gold interaction energy and the turn-on voltage. The turn-on voltage and the tunneling resistance obtained from our tunneling current model were in good agreement with previous experimental and theoretical works.
