  • Photoelectrochemical (PEC) systems are promising methods of producing H2 gas using solar energy in an aqueous solution. The photoelectrochemical properties of numerous metal oxides have been studied. Among them, the PEC systems based on TiO2 have been extensively studied. However, the drawback of a PEC system with TiO2 is that only ultraviolet (UV) light can be absorbed because of its large band gap (3.2 - 3.4 eV). Two approaches have been introduced in order to use PEC cells in the visible light region. The first method includes doping impurities, such as nitrogen, into TiO2, and this technique has been extensively studied in an attempt to narrow the band gap. In comparison, research on the second method, which includes visible light water splitting in molecular photosystems, has been slow. Mallouk et al. recently developed electrochemical water-splitting cells using the Ru(II) complex as the visible light photosensitizer. the dye-sensitized PEC cell consisted of a dye-sensitized TiO2 layer, a Pt counter electrode, and an aqueous solution between them. Under a visible light (< 3 eV) illumination, only the dye molecule absorbed the light and became excited because TiO2 had the wide band gap. The light absorption of the dye was followed by the transfer of an electron from the excited state (S*) of the dye to the conduction band (CB) of TiO2 and its subsequent transfer to the transparent conducting oxide (TCO). The electrons moved through the wire to the Pt, where the water reduction (or H2 evolution) occurred. The oxidized dye molecules caused the water oxidation because their HOMO level was below the H2O/O2 level. Organic dyes have been developed as metal-free alternatives to the Ru(II) complexes because of their tunable optical and electronic properties and low-cost manufacturing. Recently, organic dye molecules containing multi-branched, multi-anchoring groups have received a great deal of interest. In this work, tri-branched tri-anchoring organic dyes (Dye 2) were designed and applied to visible light water-splitting cells based on dye-sensitized TiO2 electrodes. Dye 2 had a molecular structure containing one donor (D) and three acceptor (A) groups, and each ended with an anchoring functionality. In comparison, mono-anchoring dyes (Dye 1) were also synthesized. The PEC response of the Dye 2-sensitized TiO2 film was much better than the Dye 1-sensitized or unsensitized TiO2 films.

  • It was set up MCS and MS of ship's distance measuring system in land and ship respectively and ship's track including dropped and hove up anchor was tracked by mean of measurement for ship's position, relative bearing and distance from MCS to MS. Results analyzed for possibility of real time anchoring watch and effectiveness of measuring position are as follow; (1) The elapsed time from dropped anchor to hove up anchor is 4 minutes and the elapsed time to start recording ship's track after set up anchoring state is 10 minutes approximately. (2) Shape of hull's swing during anchoring is mostly 8 figue-like or rarely peanut-like shape. (3) Mean anchoring position during whole measuring time was shifted 49m north and 89m eastly. (4) Ship's track were moved counter-clockwise for $8.1^\circ$ range from relative bearing $186.1^\circ$ to $194.2^\circ$ ellipse-like tracks with the major axis 63m and the minor axis 53m. (5) High frequency of ship's position distribution was shown at relative bearing $187^\circ$ and distance 558m while low frequency was shown at relative bearing $194^\circ$ and distance 556m. (6) The designed ship's distance measuring system by PRTK-GPS was fit very well for anchoring watch as secured necessary area demanded for dragging anchor as well as anchoring by means of real time measurement both in distance and bearing.

  • This study contains actual scaled site experiments on mediation factors affecting ultimate pulling force of the buoyancy resisting anchor which is installed underground water level suffering buoyancy force and breaking mechanism. Site buoyancy test selected the buoyancy acting site where acting buoyancy to the station structure since the stream and reservoir is neighboured to the vicinity ground and executed site experiments leading to variation of anchoring length, drilling diameter and tendon diameter at the weathered rock ground. The test result showed that pulling force getting increased more and more proportionate to increase of anchoring length, drilling diameter and tendon diameter, and as a result of analysis for correlations between anchoring length-ultimate limited load and drilling diameter-ultimate load (on the basis of 254mm settlement), modulus of correlation showed very high relation 0.9 and 0.99 respectively and correlation formular showed the limited load is increasing proportionate to cubic meters of anchoring length as well as the ultimate load proportionate to alignment of drilling diameter. It is also showed that limited load increased about 42.5% from 392kN to 559kN as a result of change the tendon diameter to 36mm and 50mm.

  • Shipping companies have suffered additional losses because of irrational shipping finance decisions. This paper analyses the cases according to the behavioral finance theories. The theories of behavioral finance used in the analysis and research of this paper are the anchoring effect and sunk cost effect. The backgrounds and reasons for the decisions regarding ship financing are analysed based on the questionnaire responses and case studies. As a result of the analysis, it is found that the behavioral finance theories, anchoring effect, and sunk cost effect, have effects on the ship financing decisions, that errors related to behavioral finance can result in irrational decisions, and that shipping companies suffered additional losses because of the behavioral finance errors.

  • The liquid crystal (LC) aligning capabilities by the washing processes after rubbing on the two kinds of the rubbed polyimide (Pl) surface were studied. The polar anchoring energy of 4-n-pentyl-4'-cyanobiphenyl (5CB) increased with the rubbing strength RS on the two kinds of the rubbed PI surface. The polar anchoring energy of 5CB on the rubbed PI surface with alkyl side chains is larger than the rubbed PI surface with CONH moiety. Also, the surface ordering of 5CB on the rubbed PI surface with alkyl side chains is larger than the rubbed PI surface with CONH moiety. Therefore, the surface ordering of 5CB strongly depends on the polymers and washing process.

  • Although the performance of the commercial vessel has been dramatically improved through innovations, there has been no big changes on the traditional anchoring method of commercial vessels, both on design and operation until now. In this paper, two cases of design modifications were introduced for optimized design of pocket type anchor handling, which resulted in improved performance of the vessel's anchoring. From the first time fully balanced type anchors were applied on vessels in Korean shipyard, main design problem on this application was that the anchor doesn't normally slide into the pocket when the anchor fluke is not in line with pocket, as the anchor freely rotates by the swivel on forerunner. In order to prevent the problem, swivel has been deleted on the forerunner to prevent anchor rotation until now, but this solution caused problems such as twist lock of anchor chain, restriction of windlass direction, etc. On this paper, one of the solution is introduced to overcome the design problem by tilting the hawse pipe to some extent, which makes anchor turned at the time anchor ring touches the pocket skirt and that it properly slides into the pocket. Secondly, one of the solution is introduced to overcome misalignment problem between anchor chain cable and roller of chain compressor, which has been frequently occurred, by modification of roller design.

  • In this paper, various heat dissipation designs for a rail anchoring failure detection module were investigated by a thermal flow analysis. For the detection module with the heat dissipation design on the overall housing surface, an average temperature inside the module was lowered by $25^{\circ}C$ when compared to no heat dissipation design. In addition, an internal heat-flow blocking layer and an heat conduction layer inserted between the LED module and housing case were effective in reducing the temperature in the rail anchoring failure detection, which has a limited space for installation and little air flow. Especially, the temperature near LED module decreased below $55^{\circ}C$ when the optimal heat dissipation design was applied.

  • This study investigated the television (TV) content viewers' behavior influenced by online communication at the choice of new TV series on a terrestrial streaming platform. For exploring the impact of the anchoring effect on the TV content consumption, this study analyzed the correlation between the first episode's TV ratings and the data of online comments or reactions. These data were potential audiences' communication, which were generated on the online article three weeks before the first broadcasting began. To avoid the crucial influence by external factors, such as season and social issue, the test was done with eight (8) TV series which have same genre (drama), similar core audience targeting (20-49's women), similar broadcasting period (Jun-Oct 2016), same scheduling (10.00 to 11.00 pm, weekdays) and aired on terrestrial TV platforms. This research found that not only the amount of comments and reactions, but also the attitude about the comments created before broadcasting, positively influence the audiences' decision-making behavior for new TV content choices. This investigation contributes to the literature on media economics and management by exploring the media content users' consuming behavior with behavioral economics perspectives (anchoring effect) and making a first step for finding a new effect on the media content consumption.
