Recently, an analysis of 3-micron spectra of CH4 line emission from our Gemini/GNIRS observations of Jupiter's polar regions yielded an unexpected result: The homopause (~1 microbar pressure level) located directly above the long-lasting 8-micron CH4 north-polar hot spot (Great 8-micron Hot Spot: GHS) is cool compared with the temperatures of nearby auroral regions (Kim et al. 2017). Most of the 8-micron emission of the GHS originates from CH4 at the ~1 mbar level (i.e., deeper in the stratosphere, where cooling time is several years), much longer than at the altitude of the homopause. We propose a mechanism to explain the temperature difference: locally-fixed and transient, but energetic auroral particles, which can penetrate to the 1 mbar level and deposit energy there creating and maintaining the GHS. For Saturn, thus far we have not detected distinctive 8-micron nor 3-micron CH4 hot spots in the polar regions. We will present a possible implication for this difference between Jupiter and Saturn.

The safe navigation of a mobile robot requires the recognition of the environment in terms of vision processing. To be guided in the given path, the robot should acquire the information about where the wall and corridor are located. Also unexpected obstacles should be detected as rapid as possible for the safe obstacle avoidance. In the paper, we assume that the mobile robot should be navigated in the flat surface. In terms of this assumption we simplify the correspondence problem by the free navigation surface and matching features in that coordinate system. Basically, the vision processing system adopts line segment of edge as the feature. The extracted line segments of edge out of both image are matched in the free nevigation surface. According to the matching result, each line segment is labeled by the attributes regarding obstacle and free surface and the 3D shape of obstacle is interpreted. This proposed vision processing method is verified in terms of various simulations and experimentation using real images.

Patients who get tooth loss would also lost their esthetic, stability and functional aspect suddenly. They have to get provisional restoration immediately. This case reports a satisfied result that thermoforming technique is good for patients to get injury from unexpected tooth loss.

The manufacturing process of the semiconductor is guided by the controller, which is supposed to sense the unexpected shocks and/or vibrations to shutdown the hard disk and the whole system in order to prevent the malfunction. This feature of controller would shutdown the system due to the instability of the controller itself as well as the instability of the manufacturing system. And consequently will cause significant losses. In this study the structure of a controller has been investigated to find ways to suppress the vibrations from the structure. The frequency response test and the computer simulation has been implemented to find the structure with improved stability. The result of the study shows that the relatively simple design alterations can eliminate most of the vibrations.

The concept of preprocessing is widely used in various computer science area such as compiler and software engineering for the purpose of macro processing and optimization. In addition, preprocessing is also used in SAT solvers in order to eliminate redundant literals and clauses to speed up its solving time before searching the state space. However, there is an unexpected run-time error such as stack-overflow during this step, in case the size of a given set of clauses is huge which impedes SAT solvers. In this case, the preprocessing should be applied at the encoding time to optimize its size. In this paper this idea is applied to several Sudoku problems. As a result, significant improvements are obtained with respect to the number of variables and clauses as well as the solving time compared to the previous works.

In the case of the geosynthetics usage to soil structure, there are some damages by compaction. And these damages by the installation compaction result in the unexpected changes of short and long term properties of the structure. So in the case of index test, there are some problems to the exact evaluation on the installation damage. Therefore, to the more definite evaluation on the installation damage of geosynthetics, the real site installation damage test is encouraged. (omitted)

Developing accurate prediction models for deterioration behavior represents a challenging but essential task in comprehensive Infrastructure Management Systems. The challenge may be a result of the lack of historical data, impact of unforeseen parameters, and/or the past repair/maintenance practices. These realities contribute heavily to the noticeable variability in deterioration behavior even among similar components. This paper introduces a novel approach to predict the deterioration of any infrastructure component. The approach is general as it fits any component, however the prediction is custom for a specific item to consider the inherent impacts of expected and unexpected parameters that affect its unique deterioration behavior.

Crashworthiness design concept in the helicopter development is still under evolutionary stage. Survivability in the event of a crash was remarkably improved and this fact can be recognized by the analysis results on the AH-64 Apache and UH-60 Black Hawk crash accidents. Those two models are the first ones in which the crashworthiness design concept was applied with a full-scale requirement. Here we need to notice that under-design of the system results in unexpected injuries and deaths while over-design of the crashworthy elements result in unnecessary weight and costs. If landing gear system would be verified to have enough energy absorption capability in the specified vertical velocity interval, then design requirements of the airframe, fuel system and seats could be modified positively. In this paper, the right and systematic crashworthiness design concept is reviewed on the assumption that design requirements of some crashworthy elements could be partially tailored.

Power facilities of urban rail transit substation is deterioration, and endurance limitation is coming, so urban rail transit facilities should take any necessary measure for maintenance and repair. In this paper proposes online monitoring system using the wireless communications for the urban rail transit. This system is constructed various departments; such as sensor, measurement, data communication, host computer, and power departments. It is designed to collect and save AI (Analog Input) information of the power facilities, and to analyze and display them. As a result, it is possible to prevent from any unexpected power cuts and monitor my abnormalities in real time, and to collect accumulated data for creating a better management system.

Bromination of acetoacteanilide in non-polar medium gives the r-brominated derivative. This unexpected result may be due to the steric hinderance during the enolization of the substrate. The structure of r-bromoacetoacetanilide can be assigned on the basis of its 1H NMR spectrum. Additional evidence is provided by making derivatives, whick proceed without skeletal rearrangements. Structural similarity of 2-(N-phenylcarbamoyl)methylene-1,4-oxathiane with carboxin which is used as a potent fungicide prompted our investigation of the 1,4-oxathiane synthesis. It is prepared from the reaction of r-bromoacetoacetanilide with mercaptoethanol followed by acidic dehydration in high yield.
