This study aims to establish an evaluation model by quantifying the evaluation index as a follow-up study to the development of evaluation index for work-study parallel learning companies. An evaluation model was established by verifying the 2nd level components based on the quantitative factors of the learning company, the qualitative factors, the competency factors of the person in charge, and the competency factors of the learning workers, which are the highest-level components derived from previous study. For the evaluation of a learning company, an AHP survey was conducted with experts in charge of the company consulting to derive important factors that determine the quality of on-site education and training, and the evaluation model of the learning company was completed and grouped by calculating the weight between evaluation items proceeded. Work-study parallel program was promoted as a key policy to resolve the mismatch between industrial sites and school education and realize a competency-centered society, and as of December 2022, 16,664 companies participated in the training. Learning companies play a very important role as education and training supply organizations that conduct field training. It is expected that the support and consulting plan for each level of learning companies according to the evaluation model presented in this study will be used as basic data to improve the quality of work-study parallel program.

K University of engineering college awarded degrees to workers for major of electrical and electronics in the degree-linked work-study parallel system for the first time in February 2020. In this study, the progressed process to the stage of producing group graduation works for graduates and completing the results in an engineering thesis system were presented. The questionnaire consisting of 39 questions was conducted with the subjects, and the results of the responses were compared and analyzed with the results of full-time students in the same major who graduated in the same year. Statistical analysis was attempted by dividing the five representative response questions by group, but the number of people in each group was less than 30, so the normality test of response results and statistical analysis by parametric methods were limited. However, it was judged that a one-sample t-test was possible. Focusing on this method, it was confirmed that there was a difference of 0.8 points or more between the groups on an average 5-point scale in response items related to the number of changes in the subject of the work, the satisfaction among the members, and the effort to guide the work. And the measures to deal with these differences were suggested.

This paper presents a parallel computing methodology for polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) and detailed simulation contours of a real-scale fuel cell. In this work, a three-dimensional two-phase PEFC model is applied to a large-scale 200 $cm^2$ fuel cell geometry that requires roughly 13.5 million grid points based on grid-independence study. For parallel computing, the large-scale computational domain is decomposed into 12 sub-domains and parallel simulations are carried out using 12 processors of 2.53 GHz Intel core i7 and 48GB RECC DDR3-1333. The work represents the first attempt to parallelize a two-phase PEFC code and illustrate two-phase contours in a representative industrial cell.

The parallel computer cluster system has been known as the powerful tool to solve a complex physical phenomenon numerically. The numerical analysis of large size of Li-ion battery pack, which has a complex physical phenomenon, requires a large amount of computing time. In this study, the numerical analyses were conducted for comparing the computing efficiency between the single workstation and the parallel cluster system both with multicore CPUs'. The result shows that the parallel cluster system took the time 80 times faster than the single work station for the same battery pack model. The performance of cluster system was increased linearly with more CPU cores being increased.

The purpose of this study was to develop a cooler/heater using a thermoelectric module combined with a parallel flow type oscillating heat pipe with R-142b as a work ing fluid. The experiment was performed for 16 thermoelectric modules (6 A/15 V, size: 40${\times}$40${\times}$4 mm), varying design parameters of the heat pipe (inclination angle, working fluid charging ratio, etc) . Experimental results indicate that the optimum charging ratio and the inclination angle of the parallel flow type oscillating heat pipe were 30% by volume and 30%, respectively. The maximum cooler/heater capacity were 479W (COP : 0.47) and 630W (COP : 0.9), respectively.

The present study describes a computational work to investigate detailed behaviors of the twin shock waves discharged from the exits of two-parallel ducts. In computations, the Yee-Roe-Davis's TVD scheme was used to solve the unsteady, three-dimensional, inviscid, compressible, Euler equations. The distance between two ducts is varied and the Mach number of the incident shock wave is changed below 2.0. The results obtained show that on the symmetric axis between two-parallel ducts, the maximum pressure achieved by the merge of twin shock waves and its location strongly depend upon the distance between two-parallel ducts and the Mach number of the incident shock wave. It is also found that the twin shock waves discharged from the exits of two-parallel ducts leads to the complicated flow fields, such as Mach stem, spherical waves, and vertical structures.

In this study, a translational 3-DOF parallel mechanism formed by constraining the Stewart Platform Mechanism is investigated. The translational 3-DOF parallel mechanism has three struts(3-UPS type serial subchains) and in addition, has a PPP type serial subchain in the middle of the mechanism. Firstly, the closed-form forward and reverse position solutions are derived for this mechanism. And analysis on kinematic characteristics using isotropic index of the Jacobian is conducted to examine effects of design parameters for the mechanism. Lastly, a prototype mechanism is implemented and the kinematic performance of the translational 3-DOF parallel mechanism was verified through experimental work.

In this paper, we present an approach to transmit data from the source to the destination through a minimal path (least-cost path) in a computer network of n nodes. The motivation behind our approach is to address the problem of finding a minimal path between the source and destination. From the work we have studied, we found that a Steiner tree with bounded Steiner vertices offers a good solution. A novel algorithm to construct a Steiner tree with vertices and bounded Steiner vertices is proposed in this paper. The algorithm finds a path from each source to each destination at a minimum cost and minimum number of Steiner vertices. We propose both the sequential and parallel versions. We also conducted a comparative study of sequential and parallel versions based on time complexity, which proved that parallel implementation is more efficient than sequential.

The centerless through-feed grinding is performed by passing the workpiece between the grinding wheel and the regulating wheel. So, the amount of removed material around the leading end, of the workpiece is always more than that around the trailing end until the leading end leaves the grinding wheel. Because of this, there are differences in diameters along the workpiece axis during grinding, and workpiece axis is not parallel to the grinding wheel axis and the contact lines between the workpiece and wheels. Thus the ground workpiece shows tapering error inherently. To eliminate this error, the workpiece axis must be kept to be parallel to the grinding wheel axis. And, the direction of the workpiece axis can be controlled by the work-rest blade. Therefore, the effects of work-rest blade inclination angle on the through-feed centerless ground part are investigated in this study. As a result, it is found that there is a positive inclination angle of the work-rest blade for minimizing the tapering error of a ground workpiece.
