In this note, a proof of Utkin's theorem is presented for SI(Single input) uncertain linear systems. The invariance theorem with respect to the two transformation methods so called the two diagonalization methods is proved clearly and comparatively for SI uncertain linear systems. With respect to the sliding surface transformation, the equation of the sliding mode i.e., the sliding surface is invariant. The control inputs by the two transformation methods both have the same gains. By means of the two transformation methods, the same results can be obtained. Through an illustrative example and simulation study, the usefulness of the main results is verified.

In this paper, we designed the VLSI array architecture for the high speed processing of the motion estimation used by block matching algorithm. We derived the one dimensional systolic array from the full search block matching algorithm. The data and control signals of the proposed systolic array are passed through adjacent processing element. So proposed architecture has temporal and spatial locality. The I/O ports exists only in the first and last processing elements of the array. This architecture has low pin counts and modular expandability. So the proposed array architecture can be cascaded for different block size and search range.

Supramolecules containing double hydrogen bonding sites at their both chain ends were self-polymerized to become solid state polymer and were utilized to improve the efficiency of solid state DSSCs. Hydrogen bonding sites were attached at the chain ends of PEG of Mw=2000, such as pyrimethamine and glutaric acid. The solar cell with the solid state supramolecular polymer electrolyte resulted in the overall energy conversion efficiency of 4.63 % with a short circuit current density $(J_{sc})$ of 10.41 $mAcm^{-2}$, an open circuit voltage $V_{oc}$, of 0.71 V and a fill factor (FF) of 0.62 at one sun condition ([oligomer]:[1-methyl-3-propyl imidazolium iodide (MPII)]:$[I_2]$ = 20 : 1 : 0.19, active area = 0.16 $cm^2$, $TiO_2$ layer thickness = 10 ${\mu}m$). The ionic conductivity of the sol id state electrolyte was $5.11{\times}10^{-4}$ (S/cm). The cell performance was characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and ionic conductivity.

Effects of light on leaf senescence of Phaseolus vulgaris were investigated by measuring the disassembly of chlorophyll-protein complexes in detached leaves which had been kept in the dark or under light. The loss of chlorophyll accompanied by degradation of chlorophyll-protein complexes. PSI (photosystem I) complex containing LHCI (light harvesting complex of PSI) apoproteins was rapidly decreased after the early stage of dark-induced senescence. RC(reaction center)-Core3 was slightly increased until 4 d and slowly decreased thereafter. As disassembly of LHCII trimer progressed after the late stage of senescence, there was a steady increase in the relative amount of SC(small complex)-2 containing LHCII monomer. On the other hand, white and red light adaptation caused the structural stability of chlorophyll-protein complexes during dark-induced senescence. Particularly, red light was more effective in the retardation of LHCII breakdown than white light, whereas white light was slightly effect in protecting the disassembly of PSI complex compared to red light. These results suggest, therefore, that light may be a regulatory factor for stability of chlorophyll-protein complexes in the senescent leaves.

The lattice mismatch between ZnS and Si is negligible because of its value being 0.39%. In this study, $ZnS/_{(P)}Si$ solar cell were fabricated as a layer of ZnS is epitaxially grown on a silicon substrate by PVD method and its photovoltaic properties were measured and discussed. The heat treatment was done after deposition. As the temperature increased up to a certain value, the film has better perfection in crystal structure and electrical characteristics. Measurments of the change that occur in the ZnS films were made by SEM., X-ray diffraction. The optimal thickness of film showned $0.6{\mu}m$, being measured by SEM. The great improvement of the grain growth ZnS film came out after heat-treatment. The result obtained from the $ZnS/_{(P)}Si$ solar cell as follows:short circuit current; $I_{sc}=54mA/cm^2$,open voltage; $V_{oc}=400mV$, fill factor FF=0.72, conversion efficiency; ${\eta}=15.6%$ under the irradiation of 100 ($mW/cm^2$) focused by solar energy. And these are discussed in comparison with other kinds.

Spin polarized tunneling studies were carried out with Al-Ga bilayer as a spin detector, by Meservey-Tedrow technique. The superconductor (SC)/Insulator (I)/Ferromagnet (FM) tunnel junctions were provided by ultra high vacuum molecular beam epitaxy (UHV-MBE) technique. The analysis of interfacial properties in the Al-Ga bilayer was also carried out by Auger electron spectroscopy. It was observed that the superconducting transition temperature and energy gap were raised in comparison with that of bulk Ga and pure ultrathin Al films. Current studies clearly show how one can modify the material properties at the interface just with a few monolayers.

String & tabbing step in the crystalline PV module manufacturing process for the temperature directly affects solar cells. In fact, in the manufacture of PV modules tend to be temperature factor and the corresponding changes n the output shows the same characteristics. In this journal, it will be considered about thermal characteristics, especially changes of characteristic in high temperature of the solar cell through experiment that we measure electric output characteristics of solar cells after those are applied with high temperature changes for two seconds. And we can think about the possibility of efficiency improvements over looks in PV module manufacturing processes.

It is necessary for retailers to determine the optimal ordering policy of products considering supply disruptions due to a natural disaster and a production process failure as quality and machine breakdowns. Under the situation, a dualsourcing supply chain (DSSC) is one of effective SC for retailers to order products reliably. This paper proposes the optimal ordering policy of a product in a DSSC with a retailer and two manufacturers. Two manufacturers may face supply disruptions due to a natural disater and a production process failure after they received the retailer's order of products. Here, two scenarios of demand information of products are assumed: (i) the demand distribution is known (ii) mean and variance of the demand are known. Under above situations, two types of DSSC are discussed. Under a decentralized DSSC (DSC), a retailer determines the optimal ordering policy to maximize his/her total expected profit. Under the integrated DSSC (ISC), the optimal ordering policy is determined to maximize the whole system's total expected profit. Numerical analysis investigates how demand information and supply disruptions affect the optimal decisions under DSC and ISC. Besides, profitability of supply chain coordination adjusting the wholesale price is evaluated to encourage the optimal decision under ISC.
