This paper presents the results of a feasibility study on an impedance-based damage detection technique using thickness modes of piezoelectric (PZT) patches for steel structures. It is newly proposed to analyze the changes of the impedances of the thickness modes (frequency range > 1 MHz) at the PZT based on its resonant frequency shifts rather than those of the lateral modes (frequency range > 20 kHz) at the PZT based on its root mean square (RMS) deviations, since the former gives more significant variations in the resonant frequency shifts of the signals for identifying localities of small damages under the same measurement condition. In this paper, firstly, a numerical analysis was performed to understand the basics of the NDE technique using the impedance using an idealized 1-D electro-mechanical model consisting of a steel plate and a PZT patch. Then, experimental studies were carried out on two kinds of structural members of steel. Comparisons have been made between the results of crack detections using the thickness and lateral modes of the PZT patches.

Leak detection is one of the most important challenges in condition monitoring of water pipelines. Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors offer an attractive technique to detect leak signals. In this paper, leak measurements were conducted on a water distribution pilot plant with a length of 270 m and a diameter of 100 mm. FBG sensors were installed on the pipeline surface and used to detect leak vibration signals. The leak was demonstrated with 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-mm diameter leak holes in four different pipe types. The frequency response of leak signals was analyzed by fast Fourier transform analysis in real time. In the experiment, the frequency range of leak signals was approximately 340-440 Hz. The frequency shifts of leak signals according to the pipe type and the size of the leak hole were demonstrated at a pressure of 1.8 bar and a flow rate of 25.51 m³/h. Results show that frequency shifts detected by FBG sensors can be used to detect leaks in pipelines.

We demonstrate that the effect of the PCB ground length and the cover is important in the performance of 2.4 GHz patch antennas. The Center frequency in the return loss shifts as much as 0.5 GHz, when the length of the PCB ground increases from 30 to 85 mm. The position of 10-dB bandwidth accordingly shifts to lower frequency region. Finally, the resonance at 2.4 GHz becomes stronger when the top cover exists. The radiation pattern of the patch antenna is also strongly affected by the ground structure and the existence of the top cover. In both the return loss and the radiation pattern, 3-dimensional simulations are shown to be an efficient tool.

This paper describes the EMG signals in frequency domain using power spectral density, The changes in the moan frequency can represent the energy distribution which results from changing in load before and during fatigue. Most of EMG signal power spectrum is located between 10 and 200Hz. Shifts of the high-energy regions of the power spectra can be inferred from the changes in the mean frequency. If the load is increased without fatigue-ocurring, the high frequency regions have more energy than the low frequency regions. And if load is increased during fatigue, the low frequency regions have more energy than the high frequency regions.

This study investigates the effect of working hours on the dietary behaviors and dietary quality of male industrial workers employed in rotating shifts. The survey was conducted from February to March 2022, enrolling 209 male workers operating in rotational shifts at industries in the Chungcheongnam-do region. Eating behavior and health awareness were investigated during the morning shift, afternoon shift, and night shift for the same subjects. The shift timings were found to be associated with dietary behavior, which had an impact on the dietary quality of workers. Negative effects of shift timings on diet and health were also perceived by the shift workers. The frequency of alcohol consumption was high during the morning shift, and the frequency of night time snack intake was high during the afternoon shift. During the night shift, there was decreased vegetable intake and increased ramyeon intake. Compared to the morning shift, a significant decrease in dietary quality scores was found during the night shift. The workers recognized that rotating shift work negatively affected health, eating habits and sleep. There was a high demand for providing a variety of menus and healthy night snacks in the company cafeteria. When nutritional counseling and educational health services were provided, the willingness to participate was high. Therefore, to improve the health and dietary quality of shift workers, there is a need to provide diets suitable for the working environment and the characteristics, and to provide nutrition management services.

The present work addresses the challenging problem of coordinating power allocation with interference management in multi-robot networks by applying the promising expansion capabilities of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) and full duplex systems, which achieves it for maximizing the throughput of networks under the impacts of Doppler frequency shifts and external jamming. The proposed power allocation with interference coordination formulation accounts for three types of the interference, including cross-tier, co-tier, and mixed-tier interference signals with cluster head nodes operating in different full-duplex modes, and their signal-to-noise-ratios are respectively derived under the impacts of Doppler frequency shifts and external jamming. In addition, various optimization algorithms, including two centralized iterative optimization algorithms and three decentralized optimization algorithms, are applied for solving the complex and non-convex combinatorial optimization problem associated with the power allocation and interference coordination. Simulation results demonstrate that the overall network throughput increases gradually to some degree with increasing numbers of MIMO antennas. In addition, increasing the number of clusters to a certain extent increases the overall network throughput, although internal interference becomes a severe problem for further increases in the number of clusters. Accordingly, applications of multi-robot networks require that a balance should be preserved between robot deployment density and communication capacity.

In this paper, we propose a dual-mode frequency tripler using push-push and stacked FET structures. The proposed circuit can operate either in frequency multiplier mode or in amplifier mode. In the frequency multiplier mode, push-push frequency multiplication is achieved by allowing input signals with particular phase shifts. In the amplifier mode, the device operates as a distributed amplifier to obtain high gain. Also both modes were designed using stacked FET structure. The designed circuit showed frequency tripled output power of 9.7 dBm at 2.4 GHz with the input at 800 MHz. On the other hand, in the amplifier mode, the device showed 8.9 dB of gain to generate 19.5 dBm at 800 MHz.

자기지전류(magnetotelluric, MT) 탐사 시, 지표면 부근의 작은 불균질체가 존재할 경우 겉보기비저항이 주파수와 무관하게 이동하는 정적효과(static shift)가 발생한다고 알려져 있다. 이러한 정적효과가 자료에 포함되어 있으면 지하 구조 해석에 오류가 발생하기 때문에 정적효과에 의한 왜곡을 해결하기 위한 연구가 지난 수십년 동안 수행되어 왔다. 가장 대표적인 방법으로는 역산 전에 MT 자료에서 정적효과를 제거하기 위해 보정하는 방법이 있다. 이와 달리, 역산 과정에서 정적효과를 역산의 변수로 포함시켜 그 크기를 추정하거나 따로 정적효과를 추정하지 않고 역산 과정에서 보정을 수행하기도 한다. 이외에도 다른 물리탐사 기법을 통해 얻은 자료를 사용하여 MT 탐사 정적효과를 제거할 수 있다. 하지만 지금까지 연구된 보정법들은 1차원적인 정적인 반응에만 국한되어 있어 2차원이나 3차원의 자료를 역산하고 해석하는 데에는 여전히 한계가 있다. 이 논문에서는 지금까지 MT 자료에서 정적효과를 처리하는 여러 방법들에 대해 분석하여 향후 정적효과 관련 연구를 위한 기초를 제공하고자 한다.

유발효과와 공명효과는 케톤의 카르보닐기의 신축진동수를 결정하는데 중요한 역할을 하며 용액에서 수소결합, 유전효과 그리고 입체효과는 모두 케톤의 카르보닐 신축진동수, $ν_{C=O}$를 결정하는 인자이다. νC=O는 아세톤의 메틸기가 페닐기로 하나씩 치환될 때마다 약 27 $cm^{-1}$ 장파장 이동하였다. 케톤의$ν_{C=O}$진동수는 용매에 따라 다른 변화를 보이며 수용액에서 케톤의 부피비가 증가함에 따라 $ν_{C=O}$도 증가하였다. 케톤의 일정농도에서 $ν_{C=O}$ 진동수는 $(CH_3)_2SO/CCl_4$ 과 $CHCl_3/CCl_4$ 혼합 용매의 몰 비율 변화에 따라 연속적으로 이동하며 이로써 $ν_{C=O}$가 $(CH_3)_2SO$ 또는 $CCl_4$, $CHCl_3$ 또는 $CCl_4$의 농도 변화에 모두 영향을 받는다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

We propose new time-frequency (TF) tools for analyzing linear time-varying (LTV) systems and nonstationary random processes showing hyperbolic TF structure. Obtained through hyperbolic warping the narrowband Weyl symbol (WS) and spreading function (SF) in frequency, the new TF tools are useful for analyzing LTV systems and random processes characterized by hyperbolic time shifts. This new TF symbol, called the hyperbolic WS, satisfies the hyperbolic time-shift covariance and scale covariance properties, and is useful in wideband signal analysis. Using the new, hyperbolic time-shift covariant WS and 2-D TF kernels, we provide a formulation for the hyperbolic time-shift covariant TF symbols, which are 2-D smoothed versions of the hyperbolic WS. We also propose a new interpretation of linear signal transformations as weighted superposition of hyperbolic time shifted and scale changed versions of the signal. Application examples in signal analysis and detection demonstrate the advantages of our new results.
