A study which develops a controller design methodology that has flexibility of eigenstructure assignment within the stability-robustness contraints of LQR is requried and has been performed. The previously developd control design methodology, namely, EALQR(Eigenstructure Assignment/LQR) has better performance than that of conventional LQR or eigenstructure assignment but has a constraint for the weitgting matrix in LQR, which could be indefinite for high-order system. In this paper, the effects of the indefinite Q in EALQR on the frequency domain properties are analyzed. The robustness criterion and quantitative frequency domain properties are also resented. Finally, the frequency domain properties of EALQR has been analyzed by applying to a flight control system design example.

In this paper, High Q Inductor using negative resistance circuit and the ceramic inductor was designed and fabricated at 2GHz. It was Improved the inductor of Q=90 using a inductor with Q=30 added to negative resistance circuit at 2GHz. As a result, at the bias condition of 3V and 16mA, the output power and phase noise in the operation frequency 2.01GHz are 5dBm and -115.34dBc/Hz at 100kHz offset from carrier, respectively. Phase noise was improved -10dBc/Hz at 100kHz offset compared to only using ceremic inductor.

The shipboard working environment of navy vessel is very inferior to the ground working environment. For this reason, the crew of a navy vessel suffer from an occupational disease such as lumbar pain, hearing loss, etc. Although standard for navy vessel's environmental vibration is applied, the criterion of the environmental vibration is too high. So it doesn't help to improve habitability of crew. In this study, for improving its habitability of crew, the current vibration level of navy vessel was examined and the standard of navy vessel's environmental vibration was investigated.

We developed a new scheme for the highly sensitive near-field scanning optical microscope (NSOM) by using a dithering sample stage rather than a dithering probe. In the proposed scheme, the sample is directly loaded on one prong surface of a dithering bare tuning fork. Gap control between probe and sample is performed by detecting the shear force between an immobile fiber probe and the dithering sample. In a conventional NSOM, the Q factor drastically decreases from 7783 to 1000 or even to 100 by attaching a probe to the tuning fork. In our proposed NSOM, on the contrary, the Q factor does not change significantly, 7783 to 7480, when the sample is loaded directly to the tuning fork instead of attaching a probe. Consequently, the graphene sheets that cannot be observed by a conventional NSOM were clearly observed by the proposed method with sub-nanometer vertical resolution due to the extremely high Q factor.

Pseudomonas fluorescens SM11 is a naphthalene-degrading strain whose dissimilatory genes are cho-mosomally encoded. We have cloned the 2.9 kb Sal I fragment harboring genes for the naphthalene-degrading upper pathway. The nucleotide sequences were determined to be nahQ, napA, and partial regions of nahE genes. The nahQ encods a protein of 188 amino acid residues with a deduced molec-ular wight of 20.8kDa. The high homology with other proteins suggests that NAhQ may be an active and useful protein whtich gives as selective advantage to naphthalene degradatin. Transposase(TnpA)encodes a polypetide chain with a molecular mass of 41.8kDa consisting of 376 amino acid residues. The deduced anino acid sequence of tnpA revealed 96% idenitity with putative transposase of P. stutzeri OX1,. It was assumed that transposase plays an important role in the evloution of the catabloic-path way in the regulation of nah expression.

In this study, we propose a reinforcement learning agent to control the data transmission rates of nodes in carrier sensing multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA)-based wireless networks. We design a reinforcement learning (RL) agent, based on Q-learning. The agent learns the environment using the timeout events of packets, which are locally available in data sending nodes. The agent selects actions to control the data transmission rates of nodes that adjust the modulation and coding scheme (MCS) levels of the data packets to utilize the available bandwidth in dynamically changing channel conditions effectively. We use the ns3-gym framework to simulate RL and investigate the effects of the parameters of Q-learning on the performance of the RL agent. The simulation results indicate that the proposed RL agent adequately adjusts the MCS levels according to the changes in the network, and achieves a high throughput comparable to those of the existing data transmission rate adaptation schemes such as Minstrel.

The purposes of this study was to evaluate the foodservice quality on the viewpoint of personnel in hospital foodservice. In result, S hospital's foodservice quality, that was evaluated by personnel, was comparatively high on the every variables and factors, especially on 'Q13. Meals delivery to the bed'(4.70 out of 5.0), 'Q14. Removal service of tray by foodservice personnel'(4.63), 'Q15. Kind foodservice personnel'(4.63), 'Q16. Foodservice personnel's clean and neat uniforms'(4.56) and 'factor 4. personnel attitude'(4.63). Foodservice quality factors weren't significant by general characteristics of personnel, thus all personnel were considered to hold similarly the level of foodservice quality. On the basis of these results, the gap between foodservice providers and customers need to be analyzed in the further study.

The purpose of this study was to develop Streptococcus sobrinus-specific qPCR primers based on the nucleotide sequence of the RNA polymerase ${\beta}-subunit$ gene (rpoB). The specificity of the primers was determined by conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with 12 strains of S. sobrinus and 50 strains (50 species) of non-S. sobrinus bacteria. The sensitivity of the primers was determined by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) with serial dilutions of the purified genomic DNAs (40 ng to 4 fg) of S. sobrinus ATCC $33478^T$. The specificity data showed that the S. sobrinus-specific qPCR primers (RTSsob-F4/RTSsob-R4) detected only the genomic DNAs of S. sobrinus strains with a detection limit of up to 4 fg of S. sobrinus genomic DNA. Our results suggest that the RTSsob-F4/RTSsob-R4 primers are useful in detecting S. sobrinus with high sensitivity and specificity for epidemiological studies of dental caries..

A ultra low noise Q-band HEMT receiver for VLBI has been developed using a local oscillator with a very high phase stability. The performance of receiver was verified by comparison with receivers which were developed at the other countries. The receiver noise temperature shows 65 K in the frequency ragne from 42 ㎓ to 44 ㎓, less than 100 K from 39 ㎓ to 46 ㎓, respectively. A receiver noise temperature at SiO major line of 43㎓ which will be mainly observed by using this receiver has been optimized.

Crack width is an important indicator to evaluate the health condition of the concrete structure. The crack width is measured by manual using crack width gauge commonly, which is time-consuming and laborious. In this paper, we have proposed a fast and simplified crack width quantification method via deep Q learning and geometric calculation. Firstly, the crack edge is extracted by using U-Net network and edge detection operator. Then, the intelligent decision of is made by the deep Q learning model. Further, the geometric calculation method based on endpoint and curvature extreme point detection is proposed. Finally, a case study is carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, achieving high precision in the real crack width quantification.
