The purpose of this paper was to propose a model that recognizes potential users' emotional response toward design by classifying Electroencephalography(EEG). Studies in neuroscience and psychology have made an effort to recognize subjects' emotional response by analyzing EEG data. And this approach has been adopted in design since it is critical to monitor users' subjective response in the preface of design. Moreover, the building design process cannot be reversed after construction, recognizing clients' affection toward design alternatives plays important role. An experiment was conducted to record subjects' EEG data while they view their most/least liked images of small-house designs selected by them among the eight given images. After the recording, a subjective questionnaire, PANAS, was distributed to the subjects in order to describe their own affection score in quantitative way. Google TensorFlow was used to build and train the model. Dataset for model training and testing consist of feature columns for recorded EEG data and labels for the questionnaire results. After training and testing, the measured accuracy of the model was 0.975 which was higher than the other machine learning based classification methods. The proposed model may suggest one quantitative way of evaluating design alternatives. In addition, this method may support designer while designing the facilities for people like disabled or children who are not able to express their own feelings toward alternatives.

To establish a thermodynamic basis for degradation, a hypothesis was made on the potential correlation between entropy and degradation for wear of machinery components. This paper reports an experimental study of wear of model machinery component pairs, on an accelerated testing basis. Measured were wear, friction, temperatures, and entropy flow. Results show a strong correlation between the referenced wear and the production of entropy flow. The hypothesis linking wear to entropy led to formulations consistent with the Archard/Holm wear law.

The free vibration characteristics of fluid-filled cylindrical shells on partial elastic foundations are investigated by an analytical method. The cylindrical shell is fully or partially surrounded by the elastic foundations, these are represented by the Winkler or Pasternak model. The motion of shell is represented by the first order shear deformation theory to account for rotary inertia and transverse shear strains. The steady flow of fluid is described by the classical potential flow theory. The fluid-structure interaction is considered in the analysis. The effect of internal fluid can be considered by imposing a relation between the fluid pressure and the radial displacement of the structure at the interface. To validate the present method, the numerical example is presented and compared with the available existing results.

The potential for enhancing myocardial protection by adding high-energy phosphate to cardioplegic solutions [St. Thomas Hospital solution] was investigated in a rat heart model of cardiopulmonary bypass and ischemic arrest. Creatine phosphate was evaluated as an additive to the St. Thomas Hospital cardioplegic solution. Creatine phosphate 10.0 mmol/L as the optimal concentration which improved recovery of aortic flow and cardiac output after a 30 minute period of normothermic [37oC] ischemic arrest. In comparing mechanical function in both groups the mean postischemic recoveries of aortic flow, cardiac output, stroke volume and stroke work [expressed as a percentage of its preischemic control] were significantly greater in STH-CP group than in CP- free control group. In addition to improving function and decreasing CK release, CP reduced reperfusion arrhythmias significantly decreasing the time between cross-clamp removal and return to regular rhythm from 81.8 * 13.9 [sec] in CP-free group to 35.9 * 6.8 [sec] in CP group [P< 0.05] so, exogenous CP exerts potent protective and antiarrhythmic effects when added to the St. Thomas Hospital cardioplegic solution. However, the mechanism of action remains to be elucidated.

The Emergency Department (ED) is an integral part of hospitals. Admissions from the ED account for a significant proportion for a hospital's activity. Ensuring a timely and efficient flow of patients through the ED is crucial for optimising patient care. In recent years, ED overcrowding and its impact on patient flow has become a major issue facing the health sector. Simulation is rapidly becoming a tool of choice when examining hospital systems due to its capacity to involve numerous factors and interactions that impact the system. An analytical simulation model is used to investigate potential impacts by changing the following aspects of ED (physical layouts; number of beds; number and rate of patient arrivals; acuity of illness or injury of patients; access to radiology and pathology services; hospital staffing arrangements; and access to inpatient beds). Results of a significant numerical investigation at a hospital are also presented.

We have been aware fer some time. that it is becoming harder to develop ASIC only, using the vendor wire model for the current top-down/bottom-up process. Because VDSM has a much bigger wired delay than cell delay, it is also difficult to reduce development time, as well as time-to-market, while developing several million gate ASIC's. The same is true for high frequency ASIC's with VDSM (which have larger wire delay versus cell delay). Therefore, a solution called “RTS-GDS”, using physical constraints fur SOC with timing met, is being actively discussed. This paper suggests a methodology for SOC development by utilizing a top down flow via CWLM along with discussing potential problems. This paper also provides a design flow, including physical synthesis, DFT, floor plan and CWLM, all of which are relevant to proper SOC development.

The numerical methodology for simulating water entry behaviors of the high-speed bodies has been developed. Since the present method assumed the impact occurs within a very short time interval, the viscous effects do not have enough time to play a significant role in the impact forces, that is, the flow around a water-entry object was assumed as an incompressible potential flow and is solved by the source panel method. The elements fully submerged into the water are routinely teated, but the elements intersected by the effective planar free surface are redefined and reorganized to be amenable to the source panel method. To validate the present code, it has been applied to the ogive model and compared with experimental data. Good agreement has been obtained. The water entry behavior of the bouncing phenomena from the free surface has been also simulated using the impact forces and two degree of freedom dynamic equation. Physically, acceptable results have been obtained.

The introduction of new equipments to strengthen the competitiveness of enterprises is one of pretty important factors. Enterprises introducing new equipments strengthen competitiveness through productivity increasing, high quality maintenance, inventory reduction, improved design and production interface, simple scheduling process, low scrap rate, rework reduction, etc. Managers will work out the best equipment-replacing strategy through the appropriate combination of potential cost attributes and qualitative attributes difficult to quantify in accordance with the business purpose. This study is to present a method to select an equipment-replacing alternative through the decision-making model of Analytic Hierarchy Process in consideration of the differences of cost flow of the alternatives, taking into consideration tangible attributes and strategic intangible attributes.

The numerical methodology for computing the impact forces of the water entry bodies has been developed. The present method assumed the impact occurs within a very short time interval and the viscous effects do not have time enough to play a significant role in the impact forces, that is, the flow around a water-entry object was assumed as an inviscid potential flow and is solved by the source panel method. The elements fully submerged into the water are routinely treated, but the elements intersected with the effective planar free surface are redefined and reorganized to be amendable to the source panel method. To validate the present code, it has been applied to disk and ogive model and compared with experimental data. Good agreement has been obtained.
