  • Internodal vessel elements are studied in 20 genera, 75 species and 33 cultivars of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis belong to the Malvaceae. The minimum and maximum length and diameter range from 79~466 and 14~88 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, respectively. The vessel elements are either cylindrical, fusiform, conical, clavate, oval, column-, drum-, fish and cup-like or erratic. Perforation plates are exclusively simple in all the species investigated, except occasionally scalariform in varieties of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis. In most of the species studied vessel elements have predominantly two perforation plates or occasionally one and three. Adjacen side wall thickening is commonly simple and border pitted, mixed, scalariform, helical and reticulate. The vessel elements vary in their size, shape, number and inclination of perforation plates and adjacent wall thickening.

  • Mutual coupling between antenna elements of a linear microstrip patch antenna array positioned along the H-plane including the effect of edge reflections is investigated. Simple formulas are presented for the estimation of the grounded dielectric substrate size with minimum mutual coupling. The substrate sizes calculated by these formulas are in good agreement with those obtained by the full-wave simulation and experimental measurement. The substrate size with minimum mutual coupling is a function of the effective dielectric constant for surface waves and the distance between the antenna centers. The substrate size with minimum mutual coupling decreases as the effective dielectric constant for surface waves on a finite grounded dielectric substrate increases.

  • The paper presents a numerical method for the limit analysis of structures made of a rigid no-tension material. Firstly, we formulate the constrained minimum problem resulting from the application of the kinematic theorem, which characterizes the collapse multiplier as the minimum of all kinematically admissible multipliers. Subsequently, by using the finite element method, we derive the corresponding discrete minimum problem in which the objective function is linear and the inequality constraints are linear as well as quadratic. The method is then applied to some examples for which the collapse multiplier and a collapse mechanism are explicitly known. Lastly, the solution to the minimum problem calculated via numerical codes for quadratic programming problems, is compared to the exact solution.

  • In highly stressed machine elements such as angular contact ball bearings and toroidal type traction drives, the elastohydrodynamic lubrication of elliptical contacts with both rolling and spinning motion are occur. In this paper, a finite difference method with non-uniform grid systems and the Newton-Raphson method are applied to solve the problems. Pressure distributions, film contours and variations of the minimum and central film thicknesses are compared with various ellipticity parameter, dimensionless speed and load parameter. The results showed that the spinning motion has significant influence especially on the film shapes. Reduction of the minimum film thickness under spinning is remarkable whereas the central film thickness is relatively less. Especially variations of the minimum film thicknesses with rolling velocity, load and ellipticity ratio are a great different from those of pure rolling. Therefore present numerical scheme can be used in the analysis of general elliptical contact EHL problems and further studies are required.

  • The signals that can be obtained from rotating machines often convey the information of machine. For example, if the machine under investigation has faults, then these signals often have pulse signals, embedded in noise. Therefore the ability to detect the fault signal in noise is major concern of fault diagnosis of rotating machine, In this paper, minimum variance cepstrum (MV cepstrum) . which can easily detect impulse in noise, has been applied to detect the type of faults of ball bearing system. To test the performance of this technique. various experiments have been performed for ball bearing elements that have man made faults. Results show that minimum variance cepstrum can easily detect the periodicity due to faults and also shows the pattern of excitation by the faults.

  • In this letter, a block code that minimizes the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals is proposed. It is shown that peak envelope power is invariant to cyclic shift and codeword inversion. The systematic encoding rule for the proposed code is composed of searching for a seed codeword, shifting the register elements, and determining codeword inversion. This eliminates the look-up table for one-to-one correspondence between the source and the coded data. Computer simulation confirms that OFDM systems with the proposed code always have the minimum PAPR.

  • The exhaust muffler is designed to reduce the engine noise with the minimum back pressure. It is composed of several elements, and we chose the five types of muffler elements : expansion, extended, offset, reversal, and perforated type. These elements are modeled with I-DEAS, and the transmission loss is analyzed with SYSNOISE, and the back pressure with STAR-CD. We verified the numerical results of transmission loss and pressure loss by experiments for the case of extended muffler. We find a database with the numerical results, which can be used in the design of exhaust muffler in the field.

  • The accurate estimation of the number of signals included in the received signal is required for the AOA(: Angle-of-Arrival) estimation, the interference suppression, the signal reception, etc. AIC(: Akaike Information Criterion) and MDL(: Minimum Description Length) algorithms, which are known as the typical algorithms to estimate the signal number, estimate the number of signals according to the minimum of each criterion. As the number of antenna elements increased, the estimation performance is enhanced, but the computational complexity is increased because values of criteria for entire antenna elements should be calculated for finding their minimum. In order to improve this problem, in this paper, we propose AIC and MDL algorithms based on the beamspace, which efficiently estimate the number of signals while reducing the computational complexity by reducing the dimension of an array antenna through the beamspace processing. In addition, we provide computer simulation results based on various scenarios for evaluating and analysing the estimation performance of the proposed algorithms.

  • When a large sparse matrix is calculated for a horizontal geodetic network adjustment, it needs to go through the process of matrix reordering for the efficiency of time and space. In this study, several reordering methods for sparse matrix were tested, using Sparse Matrix Manipulation System(SMMS) program, total processing time and Fill-in number produced in factorization process were measured and compared. As a result, Minimum Degree(MD) and Mutiple Minimum Degree(MMD), which are based on Minimum Degree are better than Gibbs-Poole-Stockmeyer(GPS) and Reverse Cuthill-Mckee(RCM), which are based on Minimum Bandwidth. However, the method of the best efficiency can be changed dependent on distribution of non-zero elements in a matrix. This finding could be applied to heighten the efficiency of time and storage space for national datum readjustment and other large geodetic network adjustment.
