A voice-coil-type LOA consists of the NdFeB permanent magnets with high specific energy as the stator, a coil-wrapped nonmagnetic hollow rectangular structure. We have to obtain the back-EMF constant ${\kappa}_E$ from 3D FEA and experiments, precisely. The ${\kappa}_E$ and other parameters provide the transfer function, through which is derived the frequency response characteristics. Inverter-fed LOA is examined aiming to compare with results of simulation.

LLC resonant DC-DC converter is widely used in many kinds of applications such as battery energy storage systems, wireless power transfer and high voltage power supply. It is because of characteristics like high efficiency, power density, isolation, wide power level and stability enhancement at high switching frequency. Small signal modeling helps to design controller of the converter by approximating the behavior of nonlinear system with linear state equations. This paper presents comparison between small signal modeling analysis and experimental results of LLC resonant converter.

$^{211}At$ is an alpha emitting radionuclide, which can be produced using cyclotron with alpha beam. In addition, its strong linear energy transfer and iodine-like chemistry make that $^{211}At$ is one of the most attractive radionuclide in the field of targeted alpha therapy. In this review, production, labeling, and radiopharmaceuticals of $^{211}At$ will be discussed.

This work aims to simulate three-dimensional heavy oil flow in a reservoir with heater-wells. Mass, momentum and energy balances, as well as correlations for rock and fluid properties, are used to obtain non-linear partial differential equations for the fluid pressure and temperature, and for the rock temperature. Heat transfer is simulated using a two-equation model that is more appropriate when fluid and rock have very different thermal properties, and we also perform comparisons between one- and two-equation models. The governing equations are discretized using the Finite Volume Method. For the numerical solution, we apply a linearization and an operator splitting. As a consequence, three algebraic subsystems of linearized equations are solved using the Conjugate Gradient Method. The results obtained show the suitability of the numerical method and the technical feasibility of heating the reservoir with static equipment.

This paper provides a brief review of the advanced technologies for carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT), with a focus on current developments. Compared to photon beam therapy, treatment using heavy ions, especially a carbon beam, has potential advantages due to its physical and biological properties. Carbon ion beams with high linear energy transfer demonstrate high relative biological effectiveness in cell killing, particularly at the Bragg peak. With these unique properties, CIRT allows for accurate targeting and dose escalation for tumors with better sparing of adjacent normal tissues. Recently, the available CIRT technologies included fast pencil beam scanning, superconducting rotating gantry, respiratory motion management, and accurate beam modeling for the treatment planning system. These techniques provide precise treatment, operational efficiency, and patient comfort. Currently, there are 12 CIRT facilities worldwide; with technological improvements, they continue to grow in number. Ongoing technological developments include the use of multiple ion beams, effective beam delivery, accurate biological modeling, and downsizing the facility.

The study was carried out by numerical integration based on the diffraction properties and elemental composition. The elemental compositions of breast tissues in the literature were tested. The photon attenuation coefficients calculated using the recent elemental composition were found within 0.2-16% for adipose tissue and within 0.04-17% for glandular tissue with the experimental reference data. The attenuation coefficients of cancerous breast tissue calculated according to the elemental content previously measured in breast cancer patients were found within 0-17% with experimental data in the literature. The attenuation coefficients are of great interest to medical research. To calculate realistic attenuation coefficients, the characteristic coherent scatter, which is most intense at small angles, must be considered. For this reason, experimentally measured form factor data were reviewed, and the most compatible one with the theoretical form factor data produced in this study was used at low momentum transfer x (0 < x ≤ 8 nm^-1). The differential linear coherent scattering distributions were calculated for an energy value of 17.44 keV and compared with their experimental counterparts.

The averaged non-linear term in the turbulence equations, suggested by Yeo (1987), is analyzed theoretically and experimentally. It was formulated by applying the filtering concepts to the convolution integral average definition with the Gaussian response function. This filtering approach seems to be superior to the conventional averaging methods in which all four terms at the doubly average vol must be defined separately, and it also gives a very useful tool in understanding the turbulence structures. By theoretically analyzing the newly derived description for the averaged non-linear terms, it is found that the vortex stretching can be explicitly accounted for. Furthermore, comparisons of the correlation coefficients based on the experimental data show that the vortex stretching acts most significantly on the turbulence residual stress. Thus, it strongly supports the claim that the vortex stretching is essential in the transfer of turbulence. In addition. a general form of turbulent energy models in LES is derived, by which it is recognized that the Smagorinsky, the vorticity and the SGS energy models are not distinctive.

Approximate analysis for a building installed with a friction damper is performed to get insight of its dynamic behavior. Energy balance equation is used to have a closed analytical form solution of dynamic magnification factor(DMF). It is found out that DMF is dependent on friction force ratio and resonance frequency. Approximation of DMF and equivalent damping ratio of a friction damper is proposed with such assumption that the building with a friction damper shows harmonic steady-state response and narrow banded response behavior near resonance frequency. Linear transfer function from input external force to output building displacement is suggested from the simplified DMF equation. Root mean square of a building displacement is derived under earthquake-like random excitation. Finally, design procedure of a friction damper is proposed by finding friction force corresponding to target control ratio. Numerical analysis is carried out to verify the proposed design procedure.

We propose a wireless-powered multihop transmission scheme using inter-node cooperation in a linear network topology. The proposed protocol determines the energy transfer time for each node to make the lifetime of the each node be equal in order to maximize the lifetime of the multihop path. To make the lifetime of each node the same, we apply the flocking algorithm which imitates the behavior of a bird flock flying at the same velocity, so that the lifetime of the nodes is averaged locally. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can maximize the lifetime of the multihop path by making all nodes have the same lifetime.

Numerical inverstigation of heat transfer in phase-change energy storage devices was performed in order to aid In the design process for a finned Phase-Change Material( PCM). A simplified model based on a quasi-linear, transient, thin fin equation, which predicts the fraction of melted phase-change material, and the shape of liquid-solid interface as a function of time, is used. The model is solved by using Finite Volume Method(FVM), and the numerical results have showed good agreement with experimental data.
