  • We applies Molecular Dynamics simulation technics to a system of Lennard-Jones potential interacting Argon liquid to study shear flow behavior. The thermodynamic state of the system is .rho.=35.54 Kg, mole/m$^{3}$, T=86.5.deg. K which is the triple point of Argon liquid. We applies shear rate : .epsilon.=9.26*10$^{9}$ 1/sec in the system. We find the response function, shear viscosity changes, and shear rate build-up as a function of time. We also find the thermal conductivity in a soft-sphere system.

  • In this paper, we propose the formation control algorithm for swarm robots. The proposed algorithm uses the artificial potential field(APF) to plan the global path of swarm robots and to control the formation movement. The navigation function generates a global APF for a leader robot to reach a given destination and an avoidance function generates a local APF for follow robots to avoid obstacles. Finally, some simulations show the validity of the proposed method.

  • Proline plays a multifaceted role in protein synthesis, redox balance, cell fate regulation, brain development, and other cellular and physiological processes. Here, we focus our review on proline metabolism in neurons, highlighting the role of dysregulated proline metabolism in neuronal dysfunction and consequently neurological and psychiatric disorders. We will discuss the association between genetic and protein function of enzymes in the proline pathway and the development of neurological and psychiatric disorders. We will conclude with a potential mechanism of proline metabolism in neuronal function and mental health.

  • Neutron inelastic scattering studies on polycrystalline hydrates, NaBr-2$H_2O$ and BaCl$_2$-2$H_2O$ have been performed to observe librational modes. Assuming all observed peaks are from the $H_2O$ librational origin, the weighted frequency distribution functions are obtained by eliminating the contributions from the higher order processes. All of theoretical frequencies obtained using FG matrix method are dus to highly mixed modes, and therefore the modes identified as significant $H_2O$ librationat modes from their large potential energy distributions are assigned to the observed peaks. The H-bond interactions are estimated using a modified Lippincott Schroeder potential function, and the applicability of the potential function to the H-bond with highly bent or bifurcated configuration is examined on the basis of the shape of $H_2O$ librational potential energies. Some discussions are given on the usefulness of introducing O-H…Y bending terms in addition to the H…Y stretching in similar frequency calculation in order to obtain more information on the nature of H-bond. Also the purity and symmetry properties of the $H_2O$ librational modes are discussed using group theoretical analyses.

  • The transient nature and complex geometries of two-phase gas-liquid flows cause fundamental difficulties when measuring flow velocity using an electromagnetic flowmeter. Recently, a current-sensing flowmeter was introduced to obtain measurements with high temporal resolution (Ahn et al.). In this study, current-sensing flowmeter theory was applied to measure the fast velocity transients in slug flows. The velocity fields of axisymmetric gas-liquid slug flow in a vertical pipe were obtained using Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) method, and the virtual potential distributions for the electrodes of finite size were also computed using the finite volume method for simulating slug flow. The output signal prediction for slug flow was carried out from the velocity and virtual potential (or weight function) fields. The flowmeter was numerically calibrated to obtain the cross-sectional liquid mean velocity at an electrode plane from the predicted output signal. Two calibration parameters are proposed for this procedure: a flow pattern coefficient and a localization parameter. The flow pattern coefficient was defined by the ratio of the liquid resistance between the electrodes for two-phase flow with respect to that for single-phase flow, and the localization parameter was introduced to avoid errors in the flowmeter readings caused by liquid acceleration or deceleration around the electrodes. These parameters were also calculated from the computed velocity and virtual potential fields. The results can be used to obtain the liquid mean velocity from the slug flow signal measured by a current-sensing flowmeter.

  • In this study we described Binary-Decision Method Programmable Controller that is faster than conventional Programmable Controller (P.C) using the Boolean method. An algorithm for the optimal BD program was systematically developed by using the incomplete multiple output function and the residual characteristic function. The potential applications of BD programmable controller for the problems of industrial control were illustrated, which include on-off sequential control function and also the tasks involving continuous data processing and PID control. An example was presented that has shown how BD programmable controller and ICU (Industrial Control Unit) controller can be applied to the sequential logics.

  • In industries, the capability indices $C_p$ and $C_{pk}$ can be used to provide measures of process potential capability and performance, respectively. The new approach advocated by Taguchi in quality control overcomes some problems in other approaches preventive management activities. Taguchi introduces the emphasis on loss function to improve quality of products on the side of customer. The proceeding concept of capability indices is not rational for the measurement of quality if the process mean is not equal to target value. The Taguchi approach is said to be more reasonable than the others in quality evaluation because of his loss function. However, the capability indices $C_{pm}{^+}$ and $C_{pn}$ using Taguchi's loss function only consider, acceptance cost for deviation from target value within specification limits. In other words, they do not include rejection cost for nonconformings that are failed to fall on the specification limits.
