This study was conducted to develop the hydraulic brake assembly for MUAV(Medium-altitude Unmanned Aerial Vehicle). The brake assembly has the self-gap adjuster which performs to maintain a constant gap between the piston and the disk, even if the friction pad wore down. The function of adjuster helps to keep the brake-reaction speed constant and prevent the unnecessary abrasion of the wear pad during the life of the brake assembly. The development of the aircraft hydraulic brake assembly with the self-gap-adjuster in this paper is the first ever in South Korea. The concept of the mechanism was defined and the formula which is necessary to calculate the friction force was set up in the paper. The tester was invented for the functional test and the proper operation of the self-gap-adjuster was confirmed through the test. Dynamo tests and flight tests were also carried out to verify the braking performance of the brake assembly.

RalBP1 is an ATP-dependent non-ABC transporter, responsible for the major transport function in many cells including many cancer cell lines, causing efflux of glutathione-electrophile conjugates of both endogenous metabolites and environmental toxins. RalBP1 is expressed in most human tissues, and is over-expressed in non-small cell lung cancer cell lines and in many other tumor types. Blockade of RalBP1 by various approaches has been shown to increase sensitivity to radiation and chemotherapeutic drugs, leading to cell apoptosis. In xenograft tumor models in mice, RalBP1 blockade or depletion results in complete and sustained regression across many cancer cell types including lung cancer cells. In addition to its transport function, RalBP1 has many other cellular and physiological functions, based on its domain structure which includes a unique Ral-binding domain and a RhoGAP catalytic domain, as well as docking sites for multiple signaling proteins. Additionally, RalBP1 is also important for stromal cell function in tumors, as it was recently shown to be required for efficient endothelial cell function and angiogenesis in solid tumors. In this review, we discuss the cellular and physiological functions of RalBP1 in normal and lung cancer cells.

This study empirically analyzes the impact of inventory management performance on the energy efficiency in Korean petrochemical companies. The concept of the distance function is used to define the energy efficiency and the estimation of the distance function is performed using the stochastic frontier analysis. The inventory turnover is selected as the variable indicating the inventory management performance of the company. The main results of this study are as follows. First, the inventory turnover has a positive impact on energy efficiency. Second, during the period over 2011~2015, while the gap in energy efficiency among the companies expanded, the average energy efficiency decreased. Third, the average energy efficiency in upstream process companies was greater than downstream process companies and the gap in energy efficiency among downstream process companies was greater than upstream process companies. Fourth, the average marginal effect of inventory turnover on energy efficiency increased gradually from 2011 to 2015. Finally, the average marginal effect of inventory turnover in downstream process companies was greater than upstream process companies, and the gap in the marginal effect of inventory turnover among downstream process companies was greater than upstream process companies. These results together imply the importance of inventory management in terms of energy efficiency.

We derive a gap of specific heat discontinuity of superconducting crystals theoretically at the critical temperature $T_{CH}$ as an explicit function of applied magnetic field H by using the thermodynamic relations for Gibbs free energy and the linear model for the critical magnetic field $H_{CT}$. The derived a gap of specific heat discontinuity is compared with experimental results by J. Kacmarcik et al. for superconducting MgCNi3 crystal. Our specific heat gap function well explain the jump up phenomena of the superconducting crystals.

A light water reactor (LWR) fuel rod consists of zirconium alloy cladding tube and uranium dioxide pellets with a slight gap between them. The modeling of heat transfer across the gap between fuel pellets and the protective cladding is essential to understanding fuel behavior under irradiated conditions. Many researchers have been developing fuel performance codes based on finite element method (FE) to calculate temperature, stress and strain for multidimensional analysis. The gap conductance model for multi-dimension is difficult issue in terms of convergence and nonlinearity because gap conductance is function of gap thickness which depends on mechanical analysis at each iteration step. In this paper, virtual link gap element (VLG) has been proposed to resolve convergence issue and nonlinear characteristic of multidimensional gap conductance. In terms of calculation accuracy and convergence efficiency, the proposed VLG model has been evaluated for variable cases.

Metal Mono Chalcogenides(MMC)는 각각의 III족 metal 원자당한개의 chalchogen 원자를 갖고 있는(MX, M=Ga and In, X=S, Se, and Te)층상구조 화합물이다. MMC가 주목받는 가장 큰 이유는 single tetralayer MMC(SL-MMC)라는 2차원 구조를 갖기 때문이다. 2차원 물질은 다양한 물리적 현상을 증명하기 용이하다는 특징을 갖는다. 이 논문에서 우리는 SL-MMC중 Ga-MMC에서 chalchogen 원자가 변화함에 따라 바뀌는 실험 lattice constant를 조사하여 band gap과 formation energy를 Density Function Theory(DFT)로 계산했다.

Dynamic contact of a cantilever beam with Sap at the end is discussed. The gap in a structure induces dynamic contact, and the contact problem is always accompanied by inequality constraints which mean that the solution of the structure with contact condition should satisfy variational inequality. Inequality, but, can be reduced to equality condition considering convex penalty function. In this paper, formulation of a beam with contact is derived using quasi convex penalty function. General coordinate solution which is needed to increase computational efficiency is applied. Nonlinear behavior of a beam with rigid and elastic contact condition was discussed.

This paper concerns on application of active magnetic bearing(AMB) system to levitate the elevation axis of an electro-optical sight mounted on moving vehicles. In such a system. it is desirable to retain the elevation axis within the predetermined air-gap while the vehicle is moving. A disturbance compensation control is proposed to reduce the base motion response. In the consideration of the uncertainty of the system model, a filtered-x least-mean-square(FXLMS) algorithm is used to estimate adaptively the frequency response function of the feedforward control which cancels disturbance responses. The frequency response function is fitted to an optimal feedforward control. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed control reduces the air-gap deviation to 27.7% that by feedback control alone.
