  • Variable air intake and variable exhaust nozzle of hypersonic engines are designed and tested in this study. Dimensions for variable geometry air intake, ram combustor and variable geometry exhaust nozzle are defined based on the requirements of a pre-cooled turbojet engine. Hypersonic Ramjet Engine is designed as a scaled test bed for each component. Actuation forces of moving parts for variable intake and variable nozzle are reduced by balancing the other force in the opposite direction. A demonstrator engine which includes variable intake and variable nozzle is designed and the components are fabricated. Composite material with silicone carbide is applied for high temperature parts under oxidation environment such as leading edge of the variable intake and combustor liner. Internal cooling structure is adopted for both moving and static parts of the variable nozzle. Pressure recovery and mass capture ratio of the variable intake at Mach 5 is obtained by a hypersonic wind tunnel test. Flow characteristics of the variable nozzle are obtained by a low temperature flow test. Wall temperature and heat flux of the nozzle at Mach 3 is obtained by a firing test. As results, the intake and the nozzle are proved to be used at designed pressure and temperature environment.

  • The concept of variable is a big idea to develop algebraic thinking. Variable has multiple meanings such as the unknown, a tool for generalization, and the relationship between varying quantities. In this study we analyzed in what ways the meanings of variable were presented in the current elementary mathematics textbooks and workbooks. The results showed that the most frequent meaning of variable was 'the unknown', 'a tool for generalization', and 'the relationship between varying quantities' in order. A close look at the results revealed that the same symbol was often used in representing different values of variable as the unknown. In taking variable as a tool for generalization, questions to provoke generalization were sometimes included not in the textbooks but in the teachers' manuals. The main focus in dealing with variable as the relationship between varying quantities was on finding out the dependent values compared to the independent ones. Building on these results, this study is expected to suggest implications for how to deal with variable concept in elementary mathematics instructional materials.

  • A design and implementation method for the UHF-band(800MHz) variable attenuator using the 3dB coupler is proposed. The 90 degree, 3-dB Coupler is used for the variable attenuator. The principal theory for the 3-dB coupler is introduced. The 3-dB Coupler is designed by the mathematical analysis and a computer simulation tool. A PIN diode is used for the variable resistor at UHF-band. The variable attenuator using the 3-dB coupler and the PIN diode is designed and implemented. The measured results for the variable attenuator by a network analyzer show that the insertion loss is below -l0dB, and the continuous variable attenuation range is about 10dB.

  • Two diagnostic plots, added variable plot and partial residual plot, are proposed when a new explanatory variable is linearly added to constrained regressions. They are useful for investigating the effect of adding an explanatory variable to the constrained regression. They visually give an overall impression of the strength of linear relationship between response variable and added variable. A numerical example is provided for illustration.

  • In this study we focus on variable selection in decision tree growing structure. Some of the splitting rules and variable selection algorithms are discussed. We propose a competitive variable selection method based on Kruskal-Wallis test, which is a nonparametric version of ANOVA F-test. Through a Monte Carlo study we note that CART has serious bias in variable selection towards categorical variables having many values, and also QUEST using F-test is not so powerful to select informative variables under heavy tailed distributions.

  • A process control procedure is suggested when screening inspection is performed with a surrogate variable correlated with the performance variable. Assuming bivariate normal distribution for the performance and screening variable, the procedure is designed on the basis of the time required for detecting process shift.

  • Under the condition of variable density and specific heat, maximum pressure, maximum temperature, bearing load, friction and side leakage in high-speed journal bearing operation are examined within some degree of Journal misalignment. The results are compared with the calculation results under the conditions of constant density and specific heat, and variable density and constant specific heat. It is found that the condition of variable density and specific heat play important roles in determining friction and load of Journal bearing at high speed operation.

  • When the nature of measuring a performance variable is destructive or very expensive, it is attractive to use a surrogate variable which is highly correlated with the performance variable and less expensive to measure. In this paper, we propose rectifying screening procedures using the performance and surrogate variables. Two screening procedures are considered; a statistically-based screening procedure to reduce the current proportion of nonconforming items to a specified lower value after screening, and an economically-based screening procedure where the screening limit is determined so that the expected cost is minimized. It is assumed that the surrogate variable given the performance variable is normally distributed with known mean and standard deviation. For two screening procedures, methods of finding the optimal solutions are presented and numerical examples are also given.

  • Economic screening procedures using a correlated variable are proposed to assure that the proportion of conforming items is above a desired level after screening. It is assumed that the performance variable and the screening variable are jointly normally distributed. Two screening procedures are considered. In the first screening procedure, all of the items are inspected on the screening variable. If an item fails to meet the screening specifications, it is rejected and excluded from shipment without inspection of the performance variable. In the second screening procedure, the item which fails to meet the screening specifications is inspected on the performance variable. If the value of the performance variable is within specifications the item is accepted, and the item is rejected otherwise. Cost models are constructed which involve cast from an accepted nonconforming item, cost from a rejected item, and quality inspection cost. Methods of finding optimal cutoff value on a screening variable are presented and numerical examples are given.
