In this paper our main focus is to provide insight into the history of M&A's for this purpose we have analysed the different waves of M&A. We have analysed these waves in context of available literature and fact and figures. During the study we realised that almost all of the waves of M&A's ended because of financial crises, although impact and severity of that crises may differ. We analysed the impact of current crises on M&A in global context and in order to establish how companies have and in post crises era i.e. after crises of 2007 onwards how the companies have changed their corporate strategies to accommodate M&A's. We have also analysed which factors fuelled M&A's in past and were these factors present in post crises era M&A activities. By first quarter of 2011 the many firms saw new growth opportunities in M&A activities seemed to rebound as large companies used M&A's as part of their corporate strategy but this was cut short by events like US debt ceiling, down grade of USA's credit ratings along with fears about Eurozone's financial health and their impact on future prospects of M&A's would they continue to prosper or would they be weighed down by these events.

The role of electromagnetic (EM) waves in magnetic fusion plasma-ranging from radio frequency (RF) to microwaves-has been extremely important, and understanding of EM wave propagation and related technology in this field has significantly advanced magnetic fusion plasma research. Auxiliary heating and current drive systems, aided by various forms of high-power RF and microwave sources, have contributed to achieving the required steady-state operation of plasmas with high temperatures (i.e., up to approximately 10 keV; 1 eV=10000 K) that are suitable for future fusion reactors. Here, various resonance values and cut-off characteristics of wave propagation in plasmas with a nonuniform magnetic field are used to optimize the efficiency of heating and current drive systems. In diagnostic applications, passive emissions and active sources in this frequency range are used to measure plasma parameters and dynamics; in particular, measurements of electron cyclotron emissions (ECEs) provide profile information regarding electron temperature. Recent developments in state-of-the-art 2D microwave imaging systems that measure fluctuations in electron temperature and density are largely based on ECE. The scattering process, phase delays, reflection/diffraction, and the polarization of actively launched EM waves provide us with the physics of magnetohydrodynamic instabilities and transport physics.

In power transformers, vibration signals can occur at winding and core due to the change of current, voltage, and temperature and the deformation of winding and core. The deformation of winding and core occurs electromagnetic force induced by fault current in power systems. There firem the changes of vibration signals can be very different in normal or fault states of power transformers. We edtect and analyze the changes of vibration signals and use them as a tool for fault diagnosis of power transformers. This paper presents fault discriminating polliblility using the changes of fundamental waves and higher harmonics in power transformers. We showed the fault discriminating functions that are made at each case ; normal state and fault state. These functions are tested by the detected vibration signals, and we showed that the proposed method can discriminate the state of power transformers.

본 연구는 규모가 큰 지진하중에 대한 해양 가이드 타워의 비정상과정 거동해법에 주안점을 두었으며, 아울러 작은 파랑이나 조류하중이 동시에 작용할 수 있는 경우도 고려하였다. 지진에 의한 지반운동의 비정상특성은 정상과정 성분에 지수함수의 시간포락함수를 곱하는 형태로 모형화하였다. 동적거동의 비정상과정 분산값을 해석적인 방법으로 산출하였다. 운동방정식에 계류장치의 비선형 복원력과 파동에 의한 비선형 점성저항력을 추계론적 최적화기법으로 선형화하여 동적해석을 수행하였다. 지진의 발생기간동안 예상되는 중급의 파랑하중에 의한 영향을 최대거동 산정시 고려하였다. 중급 파고조건에 대한 파랑하중은 지속기간이 상당히 길어서 정상과정으로 취급할 수 있으므로 이에 대해서는 주파수 영역해석을 사용하여 동적거동을 산출하고 이 결과를 지진에 의한 비정상과정거동에 반영하였다. 예제해석으로부터 비정상과정 해석방법을 검증하고, 지진과 파랑 및 조류하중의 각 성분이 전체응답에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다.

Flow phenomena such as the pressure transients Inside a high-speed railway tunnel and the Impulsive waves at the exit of the tunnel are closely associated with the characteristics of the entry compression wave, which is generated by a train entering the tunnel. Tunnel entrance hood may be an effective means for alleviating the Impulsive waves and pressure transients. The objective of the current work is to explore the effects of the train nose shape and the entrance hood on the characteristics of the entry compression wave. Numerical calculations using the method of characteristics were applied to one-dimensional, unsteady, compressible flow field with respect to high-speed railway/tunnel systems. Two types of the entrance hoods and various train nose shapes were employed to reveal their influences on the entry compression wave for a wide range of train speeds. The results showed that the entry compression wave length increases as the train nose becomes longer and the train speed becomes lower. The entry compression wave length in the tunnel with hood becomes longer than that of no hood. Maximum pressure gradient in the compression wavefront reduces by the entrance hood. The results of the current work provide useful data for the design of tunnel entrance hood.

Since most of the Extra High Voltage (EHV) transmission lines are untransposed and multi-circuits, errors are occurred inevitably because of the unbalanced impedances of the lines and so on. Therefore, a distance relaying algorithm applicable to the untransposed multi-circuits transmission lines needs to be developed. The proposed algorithm of fault location estimation in the paper uses the fundamental phasor to reduce the effects of the harmonics. This algorithm also analyzes the second-order difference of the phasor to calculate the traveling times of waves generated by faults. The traveling time of the waves generated by faults is derived from the second-order difference of the phasor. Finally, the distance from the relaying point to the faults is estimated using the traveling times. To analyze the performance of the algorithm, a power system with the EHV untransposed double-circuit transmission lines are modeled and simulated under various fault conditions such as several fault types, fault locations, fault inception angles and fault resistances. The results of the simulations show that the proposed algorithm has the capability to estimate the fault locations quickly and accurately.

본 연구에서는 제 3세대 파랑 모형인 WAVEWATCH-III모델 (Tolman, 1999)과 기상청 해양기상 관측부이(4기) 자료를 이용하여 파랑인자 특성에 관한 분석이 이루어졌다. 풍속이 증가한 후 약 2-3시간 후에 유의파고가 커지고, 풍속과 유의파고의 상관성은 비교적 외해에 위치한 동해 부이에서 크게 나타났다. 육풍 발생 시 두 인자 사이의 상관계수 값이 급격히 떨어졌으며, 풍속과 파고 편차 시계열 자료에서는 동채부이를 제외하고 지배적인 조석주기가 발견되었다 부이 자료와의 비교를 통하여 WAVEWATCH-III모델의 파랑 모의 성능을 진단한 후에, 쿠로시오 해역과 동해 해역의 수치 실험을 통해서 파랑의 진행 방향에 대해 반대 방향으로 해류가 흐를 때는 파고는 높아지고, 파장은 짧아진다는 사실을 재확인했다. 또한 이러한 효과는 풍속이 약하거나 해류가 강할 때 더 커지는 양상을 나타냈으며 이에 대한 정량적인 결과를 제시하였다.

This paper represented driving characteristic of a thin-type ultrasonic motor by fabricating and utilizing two kinds of drivers which could generate sinusoidal wave, square wave, respectively. A thin brass plate was used as a cross shaped vibrator and sixteen ceramic plates were attached on upper and bottom side of the brass plate. From the thin stator, elliptical displacements of the four contact tips were obtained. Speed, torque, and current were measured by applying sinusoidal waves through driving equipment such as function generator, power amplifier: to measure characteristic of the motor. As a result, the speed and the torque changed linearly at either driving frequency of 88.6 ~ 87.6[kHz] or voltage of 24~36[V]. Two-drivers which generate sinusoidal waves and square waves were designed respectively, and then were compared through some experiments in order to be put to practical use. In conclusion, the drivers had similar characteristic of speed-torque at similar frequency and voltage. It was able to control the motor linearly by using the driver generating square wave among two-drivers. Besides, it also was possible to make the drivers smaller.
