  • Large data handling is one of critical issues that the data mining community faces. This is particularly true for computationally intense tasks such as data clustering. Random sampling of instances is one possible means of achieving large data handling, but a pervasive problem with this approach is how to deal with the noise in the evaluation of the learning algorithm. This paper develops a new optimization based clustering approach using an algorithm specifically designed for noisy performance. Numerical results show this algorithm better than the other algorithms such as PAM and CLARA. Also with this algorithm substantial benefits can be achieved in terms of computational time without sacrificing solution quality using partial data.

  • To maximize the statistical multiplexing gain in wireless ATM MAC, a centralized scheduling function must be provided for the dynamic slot assignment in the wireless ATM access point. Exploiting the dynamic parameters received in the wireless ATM access point, the centralized scheduler will execute a dynamic slot assignment to determine bandwidth required for individual wireless terminal. In this paper, we propose a new scheduling algorithm, which can effectively reduce a burden of the explicit signaling requirement of transmitting the dynamic parameters in a timely manner. We have demonstrated that the proposed approach outperforms the existing schemes in terms of the timeliness of transmitting the dynamic parameters, which is a critical factor to the performance of delay-sensitive service classes, and works as an effective means of dynamic slot assignment without heavily relying on the dynamic parameters in the wireless ATM networks.

  • Current progress in the development of semiconductor technology in applications involving high electron mobility transistors (HEMT) and power devices is hindered by the lack of adequate ways todissipate heat generated during device operation. Concurrently, electronic devices that use gallium nitride (GaN) substrates do not perform well, because of the poor heat dissipation of the substrate. Suggested alternatives for overcoming these limitations include integration of high thermal conductivity material like diamond near the active device areas. This study will address a critical development in the art of GaN on diamond (GOD) structure by designing for ideal heat dissipation, in order to create apathway with the least thermal resistance and to improve the overall ease of integrating diamond heat spreaders into future electronic devices. This research has been carried out by means of heat transfer simulation, which has been successfully demonstrated by a finite-element method.

  • A safe grounding design is used for providing means to carry electric currents into the earth under fault conditions without exceeding any operating limits and for assuring that a person in the vicinity of grounded facilities is not exposed to danger of critical electrical shock. Transformer neutral point grounding is for the purpose of controlling the voltage to earth within tolerable limits under a line-to-ground fault. Transformer frame grounding is for the purpose of minimizing the hazardous potential within safety criteria appearing at the faulted equipment. ills paper deeply investigates the grounding resistance effects of distribution power transformers by analysing the neutral to eatth voltages and touch voltages when the fault occurs.

  • As a circular cylinder has a comparatively simple shape and becomes a basic problem for flows around other various shapes of bodies, the problem of two-dimensional viscous flow around the circular cylinder has been investigated, both theoretically and experimentally. But not a few problems are left unsolved. It is well known that the calculations are successfully made with the approximations of Stokes or Oseen for very low Reynolds numbers, but as Reynolds number is increased, Oseen's approximations as well as Stokes's ones become more and more remote from the exact solution of the Navier-Stokes equations. Therefore, in this paper, the authors transform the Navier-Stokes equations into the finite difference equations in the steady two-dimensional viscous flow at Reynolds number up to 45, and then solve the solution of the Navier-Stokes equations numerically. Also, the authors examine the accuracy of the solution by means of flow visualization with aluminum powder. The main results are as follows; (1) The critical Reynolds number at which twin vortices begin to form in the rear of the circular cylinder is found to be 6 in the experiment and 4 in the numerical solution. (2) As Reynolds number is increased, it is proved that the ratio of the length of the twin vortices to the diameter is grown almost linearly, both experimentally and numerically. (3) Separation angle is also increased according to reynolds number. But it is found that it would converge into 101.3 degrees, both experimentally and numerically.

  • In this era of intense competition, TQM has become the key program in organizations as they strive for a competitive advantage. It has been applied to manufacturing and service sector since BNQA model was established in 1987. TQM literature for manufacturing sector abounds with empirical studies on the critical dimensions of TQM, but there is few empirical studies on the TQM evaluation for service sector. In this paper, two methodologies are applied to evaluate the TQM activities of service companies comparatively One of them is the traditional scoring system(TSS) by analytic hierarchy process(AHP). The other is the efficiency measuring system(EMS) by data envelopment analysis(DEA). DEA outperformed other alternative methods to measure the efficiency and it can be applied to evaluate the TQM activities. The objective of this paper is to evaluate TQM activities of domestic service companies by applying TAE(Total quality management Activities Evaluation) model to them. The result of this study is that TSS scores are not significantly correlated with EMS scores. It means that service organizations must not only make efforts to get the higher scores in terms of TSS but also take necessary steps to enhance their efficiencies.

  • The Caravanserai, which can be discovered in the Islamic States in the regions of the Northern Africa and the Middle Asia, still maintains its profound influence to the Islamic World as one of significant edifices in the Islamic World. The majority of the Islamic people at the time of the foundation of Islamic State around AD. 7th century was the nomads, and a trade by means of caravan with their neighboring people was their critical activity for obtaining the necessities of life. With its political and social condition of the Islamic State stabilized and economy developed, the scope of commerce began to grow and the scale of trading with foreign countries started to expand. Along with this economic expansion, the caravanserai began to take a shape as a channel through which not only could the commercial commodities be traded but also religious Islamic ideas and important information could be spread into and shared with the people of neighboring countries. The significance of the caravanserai comes from such observation that it did play major roles in consolidating the solidarity of Islamic states and keeping a religious unity among them. The caravanserai, heading far beyond being a mere commercial center, ultimately functioned as a seedbed of life and spirit of the Islam. Starting from the understanding of social and political significance of the caravanserai, I set the first objective of this article to read into the architecture and interior design of the caravanserai and understand the general characteristics of the Islamic architecture and interior design.

  • For optimal performance of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), the membrane electrode assembly (MEA) requires hydration, and the membrane's conductivity depends on water content. A humidifier is required to ensure that the reactant gas, usually hydrogen and air, is hydrated before entering the fuel cell. Dry membrane operation or improper hydration causes performance degradation. Typically, the humidification of a fuel cell is carried out by means of an internal or external humidifier. A membrane humidifier is applied to the external humidification of transportation or residential power generation fuel cell due to its convenience and high performance. In this study, The experiments were constructed with a plate-type membrane humidifier in terms of geometric parameters and operating parameters. The results show that the temperature and pressure, the channel length, the membrane thickness and gas flow rate are critical parameters affecting the performance of the humidifier.

  • A lightning strike to the aircraft seriously affects the aircraft and its components in various ways. As one of the most critical threats to the flight safety of an aircraft, fuel vapour ignition by lightning can occur through various means, notably through hot spot formation on the fuel tank skins. In this study, a coupled thermal-electrical approach using the commercial software ABAQUS is used to study the effects of a lightning strike on aircraft fuel tanks. This approach assumes that the electrical conductivity of a material depends on temperature, and that a temperature rise in a material due to Joule heat generation depends on electrical current. The inter-dependence of thermal and electrical properties-the thermal-electrical coupling-is analyzed by a coupled thermal-electrical analysis module. The analysis elucidates the effects of different material properties and thicknesses of tank skins and identifies the worst case of lightning zones.
