This review examines computational simulations of thermoelectric properties, such as electrical conductivity, Seebeck coefficient, and thermal conductivity. With increasing computing power and the development of several efficient simulation codes for electronic structure and transport properties calculations, we can evaluate all the thermoelectric properties within the first-principles calculations with the relaxation time approximation. This review presents the basic principles of electrical and thermal transport equations and how they evaluate properties from the first-principles calculations. As a model case, this review presents results on $Bi_2Te_3$ and Si. Even though there is still an unsolved parameter such as the relaxation time, the effectiveness of the computational simulations on the transport properties will provide much help to experimental scientist researching novel thermoelectric materials.

An axial dispersion model is developed for the slim reactor employed in the LDPE autoclave process so that imperfect mixing caused by large L/D ratio (10-20) may be quantified by Peclet number. The model is then used to investigate the effect of mixing on the reactor performance represented by the monomer conversion, the reactor temperature, the molecular weight, and the polydispersity. In addition, the existence of steady state multiplicity is identified with the initiator feed concentration or the feed temperature as the bifurcation parameter. The effects of the initiator feed concentration and the feed temperature are also examined.

Experiments on deactivation kinetics of immobilized lipase enzyme from Candida cyl-indracea were performed in stirred bath reactor using rice bran oil as the substrate and temperature as the deactivation parameter. The data were fitted In first order deactivation model. The effect of temperature on deactivation rate was represented by Arrhenius equation. Theoretical equations were developed based on pseudo-steady state approximation and Michaelis -Menten rate expression to predict the time course of conversion due to enzyme deactivation and apparent half-life of the immobilized enzyme activity in PFR and CSTH under constant feed rate polity for no diffusion limitation and diffusion limitation of first order. Stability of enzyme in these continuous reactors was predicted and factors affecting the stability were analyzed.

In this paper, an active capacitor-diode-switch (CDS) snubber is proposed for L-type current-fed isolated DC-DC converters. The proposed CDS-clamped converter has a number of advantages. It can achieve wide range zero-voltage switching (ZVS) on two switches, a continuous input current with a low ripple, a reduction of one active switch and high efficiency. The operating principles, analysis and parameter design guideline are presented. A 300 W prototype is built to test the proposed converter. Simulation and experimental results are shown at 30 V input voltage and 400 V output voltage.

The nutritional value of protein varies between feedstuffs. It is possible to feed animals using crystalline amino acids as a sole nitrogen source, but in practice only some limiting amino acids are added to the diet. In order to use feedstuffs efficiently, it is important to determine exact amino acid requirements. Reported values differ widely because the requirements are affected by various factors. In this report, therefore, the factors affecting amino acid requirements are reviewed as follows: 1) availability of dietary amino acids, conversion factors of nitrogen to protein, interaction of amino acids, and strain, sex and age of animals; 2) amino acid requirements for maximum performance and maintenance, usefulness of non-essential amino acids; 3) plasma amino acid concentration as a parameter to determine amino acid requirements; and 4) nitrogen excretion to reduce environmental pollution. These factors should be considered, it is to improve the dietary efficiency, which is to reduce excess nitrogen excretion for environmental pollution.

In this paper, how to design the wind power generation system is presented. It is shown that the wind system optimization can be achieved by consideration of the four factors; wind statistics, efficiency of conversion of wind energy to electrical energy, average annual energy extracted and load factor. The wind is characterized by a weibull probability function. The Weibull parameter is calculated for the characterizing wind and the primary design specification of ten different sites. Some graphs are presented, which can be used to design a wind system for maximum output of a specified load factor at given site. Two different systems, $V_c=0.4V_R$ and $V_c=0.5V_R$ are discussed, as samples, for investigation of the effects on the system through the variation of cut-in speed.

The three-phase canned induction motor, which consists of a stator and rotor with a seal can, is used for the main coolant pump (MCP) of the System-integrated Modular Advanced Reactor (SMART). The thermal characteristics of the can must be estimated exactly, since the eddy current loss of the can is a dominant parameter in design. Besides the insulation of the motor winding is compared of Teflon, glass fiber, and air, so it is not an easy task to analyze. A FEM thermal analysis was per-formed by using the thermal properties of complex insulation which were obtained by comparing the results of finite element thermal analysis and those of the experiment. As a result, it is shown that the characteristics of prototype canned induction motor have a good agreement with the results of FEM.

본 논문에서는 G.729A 와 SMV 음성 부호화기를 위한 새로운 파라미터 직접 변환 방식의 상호 부호화 알고리즘을 제안한다. 상호 부호화를 위하여 부가적인 복호화, 부호화 과정을 거쳐야하는 기존의 tandem 방식과 달리 제안된 파라미터 직접 변환 방식에서는 양 음성부호화기에서 공통적으로 사용하는 파라미터들이 직접 변환된다. SMV에서 G.729A로의 상호 부호화에서는 LSP 변환, 피치 지연 변환, 낮은 전송률에서의 상호 부호화 둥의 알고리즘을 제안하고, G.729A에서 SMV로의 상호 부호화에서는 LSP 변환, 피치 지연 변환, 전송률 결정 등의 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘을 다양한 방법으로 평가해본 결과 기존의 tandem 방식과 비교하여 계산량과 지연 시간을 줄이면서도 동등한 음질 또는 향상된 음질을 구현함을 확인할 수 있었다.

Recently the use of Pd catalyst have been continued to expand because of cost avaliabilityand performance advantages. Especially the Pd+Rh catalyst instead of the Pt+Rh catalyst had been used for most of three way catalysts because of the more stringent emission standards and its higher temperature effectiveness. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the design parameter impacts on the Pd+Rh cat-alyst for the automotive exhaust catalysts application. This study was investigated on the catalyst efficiency for the volume and the precious metal loading of the Pd+Rh ceramic monolithic cata-lyst. And experiments concerning the effects of volume and precious metal loading on Pd+Rh three way catalysts were conducted to examined the catalyst light-off temperature and conver-sion efficiency on higher volume demonstrated almost similar performance. But their effects on higher precious metal loading demonstrated considerably better performance.
