Purpose: To investigate the intensity of bilateral international trade of the Silk Road Economic Belt (SREB) countries with Kazakhstan, its relationship with logistics (LPI), to assess their contribution to economic growth and distribution of commodity flows. Research design, data, and methodology: The method of analyzing the bilateral trade flow was applied by using the trade intensity index (TII) and a multidimensional regression model describing the relationship between LPI and its components, TII, the volume of exports and imports, GDP. Results: The nature and directions of the relationship between TII and the key components of logistics, the positive impact of LPI on the intensity of trade are established. It is revealed that the intensity of trade between the countries in the direction of the EAEU-Kazakhstan has a greater impact on the growth of LPI than in the opposite direction. At the same time, the higher the level of trade integration and the volume of GDP, the stronger their impact on the efficiency of logistics and distribution of commodity flows. Conclusions: Effective distribution of commodity flows will require the development of logistics components based on the direction of bilateral trade and the size of countries, the intensification of state reforms in the field of international trade and distribution logistics.

The rapid progress of social media allows more people to express their feelings and opinions online. Many data on social media contains people's emotional information, which can be used for people's psychological analysis and emotional calculation. This research is based on the simplified psychological scale algorithm of multi-theory integration. It aims to accurately analyze people's psychological emotion. According to the comparative analysis of algorithm performance, the results show that the highest recall rate of the algorithm in this study is 95%, while the highest recall rate of the item response theory algorithm and the social network analysis algorithm is 68% and 87%. The acceleration ratio and data volume of the research algorithm are analyzed. The results show that when 400,000 data are calculated in the Hadoop cluster and there are 8 nodes, the maximum acceleration ratio is 40%. When the data volume is 8GB, the maximum scale ratio of 8 nodes is 43%. Finally, we carried out an empirical analysis on the model that compute the population's psychological and emotional conditions. During the analysis, the psychological simplification scale algorithm was adopted and multiple theories were taken into account. Then, we collected negative comments and expressions about Japan's discharge of radioactive water in microblog and compared them with the trend derived by the model. The results were consistent. Therefore, this research model has achieved good results in the emotion classification of microblog comments.

Body weight of livestock is a crucial indicator for assessing feed requirements and nutritional status. This study was performed to estimate the body weight of Korean cattle (Hanwoo) using body volume determined from three-dimensional (3-D) image. A TOF camera with a resolution of 640×480 pixels, a frame rate of 44 fps and a field of view of 47°(H)×37°(V) was used to capture the 3-D images for Hanwoo. A grid image of the body was obtained through preprocessing such as separating the body from background and removing outliers from the obtained 3-D image. The body volume was determined by numerical integration using depth information to individual grid. The coefficient of determination for a linear regression model of body weight and body volume for calibration dataset was 0.8725. On the other hand, the coefficient of determination was 0.9083 in a multiple regression model for estimating body weight, in which the age of Hanwoo was added to the body volume as an explanatory variable. Mean absolute percentage error and root mean square error in the multiple regression model to estimate the body weight for validation dataset were 8.2% and 24.5kg, respectively. The performance of the regression model for weight estimation was improved and the effort required for estimating body weight could be reduced as the body volume of Hanwoo was used. From these results obtained, it was concluded that the body volume determined from 3-D of Hanwoo could be used as an effective variable for estimating body weight.

The pre-swirl system is the device that minimizes energy loss of turbine cooling airflow from the stationary parts into rotating parts. In this paper, an off-design analysis was conducted for the ambient air temperature and turbine load conditions. The discharge coefficient was constant for ambient air temperature and turbine load. However, adiabatic effectiveness was increased. This is due to the volume flow rate. The volume flow rate was increased at higher ambient temperature and higher turbine load. It means that the volume of cooling air was increased and the cooling performance of the air was improved. Consequently, adiabatic effectiveness increased by 30.46% at 100% turbine load compared to 20% turbine load. And increased by 18.42% at 55℃ ambient air temperature compared to -20℃ ambient air temperature.

As the influence of fine dust on society spreads gradually, the public's interest in indoor air is increasingly rising. Air-purifying plants are drawing keen attention due to their natural purifying function enabled by plant physiology. However, as their fine dust reduction mechanism is limited to adsorption only, vegetation bio-filters that optimize purification effects through integration with air-conditioning systems is rising as an alternative. In accordance with the relevant standard test methods, this study looked into the fine dust reduction assessment method by air-conditioning airflow volume that can be used for the industrial spread of vegetation bio-filters. In the case of PM₁₀ at 300 ㎍/m³, it was in the order of EG-B(3,500CMH, 29 min.) < EG-A (2,500CMH, 37 min.) < CG(0CMH, 64 min.) for reaching the maintenance level (100 ㎍/m³) of publicly used facilities. For reaching the WHO Guideline(50 ㎍/m³) requirement, it was in the order of EG-B (51 min.) < EG-A (160 min.) < CG (170 min.). In the case of PM_2.5, it was in the order of EG-B (26 min.) < EG-A (33 min.) < CG (57 min.) for reaching the maintenance level (50 ㎍/m³) of publicly used facilities. It was in the order of EG-B (48 min) < EG-A (140 min) < CG (158 min) for reaching the WHO Guideline (25 ㎍/m³) requirement. The findings from the analysis showed that fine dust can be reduced most efficiently when the system is operated at 3,500CMH level. The limitation of this study is that due to the absence of a way of assessing the stress of plants in vegetation bio-filters, generating optimal air-conditioning air flow of the relevant system and economics analysis against the existing facility-type air purification system have been clarified, which should be explored further though follow-up studies.

For study on the unsteady blockage effect, flows around a rotationally oscillating circular cylinder with relatively low forcing frequency in closed test-section wind tunnels have been numerically investigated by solving compressible Navier-Stokes equations. The numerical scheme is based on a node-based finite-volume method with the Roe's flux-difference splitting and an implicit time-integration method coupled with dual time-step sub-iteration. The computed results of the oscillating cylinder in the test section showed that the fluctuations of lift and drag are augmented by the blockage effects. The drag further increases because of low base pressure. The pressure on the test section wall shows the harmonics having the oscillating and the shedding frequencies contained in the blockage effect.

This paper presents a numerical study to enhance the mixing of polyurethane resin in a container. In general, the properties of polyurethane resin vary with the production environment, such as temperature. However in this study we assumed that the dynamic viscosity of the polyurethane is kept constant at 15 [Pa s]. We computed the flow solution and visualized the mixing pattern for different shapes of mixers by using commercial code, ANSYS CFX. In order to quantify mixing, we employed the concept of mixing index by volume integration.

A novel, maskless, low-volume bumping material, called solder bump maker, which is composed of a resin and low-melting-point solder powder, has been developed. The resin features no distinct chemical reactions preventing the rheological coalescence of the solder, a deoxidation of the oxide layer on the solder powder for wetting on the pad at the solder melting point, and no major weight loss caused by out-gassing. With these characteristics, the solder was successfully wetted onto a metal pad and formed a uniform solder bump array with pitches of 120 ${\mu}m$ and 150 ${\mu}m$.

A graded harmonic finite element formulation based on three-dimensional elasticity theory is developed for the structural analysis of 2D functionally graded axisymmetric structures. The mechanical properties of the axisymmetric solid structures composed of two different metals and ceramics are assumed to vary in radial and axial directions according to power law variations as a function of the volume fractions of the constituents. The material properties of the graded element are calculated at the integration points. Effects of material distribution profile on the static deformation, natural frequency and dynamic response analyses of particular axisymmetric solid structures are investigated by changing the power law exponents. It is observed that the displacements, stresses and natural frequencies are severely affected by the variation of axial and radial power law exponents. Good accuracy is obtained with fewer elements in the present study since Fourier series expansion eliminates the need of finite element mesh in circumferential direction and continuous material property distribution within the elements improves accuracy without refining the mesh size in axial and radial directions.

Nanotechnology has beenrapidly evolved from passive nanostructures where nanostructures with steadystructures and functions often used as parts of a product to activenanostructures which change their properties during use. Startingaround 2010, it is anticipated that researchers will cultivate expertise withsystems of nanostructures, directing large numbers of intricate components tospecified needs. One dimensional (1-D) nanostructures suchas nanowires and nanotubes are extremely attractive building blocks for nextgeneration devices because of their high surface to volume ratio and uniquesize dependent properties. In addition, their extremely high aspectratio offers researchers the potentials to build axial or radialheterostructures to integrate multiple functionality from intrinsic propertiesof the material or through interfacial phenomena. Spatialmanipulation and the ability to assemble and position nanostuructures in acontrolled matter so they are registered to define spaces is also a criticalstep toward scalable integration in high density nanodevices. In thispresentation, a generalized template directed electrodeposition with ancillaryassembly, contact will be presented to synthesize axial and radialheterostructures in cost-effective matter and these individual nanostructureswill be applied to spintronics, gas and biological sensors and thermoelectrics.
