Recent developments such as concern over global warming, depletion of fossil fuels and increase in energy demands by the increasing world population has eventually lead to mass production of electricity using renewable sources. Apart from wind and solar, ocean holds tremendous amount of untapped energy in forms such as geothermal vents, tides and waves. The current study looks at generating power using waves and the focus is on the primary energy conversion (first stage conversion) of incoming waves for different models. Observation of flow characteristics and the velocity in the augmentation channel as well as the front guide nozzle are presented in the paper. A numerical wave tank was used to simulate the waves and after obtaining the desired wave properties; the augmentation channel plus the front guide nozzle and rear chamber were integrated to the numerical wave tank. The waves in the numerical wave tank were generated by a piston type wave maker which was located at the wave tank inlet. The inlet which was modeled as a plate wall moved sinusoidally with the general function, x=asin$\omega$t The augmentation channel consisted of a front nozzle, rear nozzle and an internal fluid region representing the turbine housing. The analysis was performed using the commercial CFD code ANSYS-CFX.

This paper investigates the outage behavior of peak interference power limited cognitive radio (CR) networks with multiple transmit antennas. In CR-multi-input single-output (MISO) channel, the total transmit power is distributed over the transmitantennas. First, we use the orthogonal space-time codes (STC) to achieve the transmit diversity at CR-receiver (rx) and investigate the effect of the power distribution on the interference power received at the primary-receiver (P-rx). Then, we investigate the transmit antenna selection (TAS) scheme in which the CR system selects the best transmit antenna and allocates all the power to the selected best antenna. Two transmit antenna selection strategies are proposed depending on if feedback channel is available or not. We derive the closed form expressions of outage probability and outage capacity of all schemes with arbitrary number of transmit-antennas. We show that the proposed schemes significantly improve the outage capacity over the single antenna systems in Rayleigh fading environment. We also show that TAS based scheme outperforms the STC based scheme when peak interference power constraint is imposed on the P-rx only if a feedback channel from CR-rx to CR-transmitter is available.

Shear connectors are key elements that ensure integrity in a composite system. The primary purpose of a shear connector is to bring a high degree of interaction between composite elements. A wide variety of connectors are available for hot-rolled composite construction, connected to the beam through welding. However, with cold-formed members being very thin, welding of shear connectors is not desirable in cold-formed composite constructions. Shear connectors for cold-formed elements are limited in studies as well as in the market. Hence in this study, three different types of shear connectors, namely, single-channel, double channel, and self-tapping screw, were considered, and their performance assessed by the Push-out test as per Eurocode 4. The connection between channel shear connectors and the beam was made using self-tapping screws to avoid welding. The performance of the connectors was analyzed based on their ultimate capacity, characteristic capacity, ductility, and slippage during loading. Strength to weight ratio was also carried out to understand the proposed connectors' suitability for conventional ones. The results showed relatively higher initial stiffness and ductility for double channel connectors than other connectors. Also, self-tapping screws had a higher strength to weight ratio with low ductility.

기존에 연구된 OFDMA(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) 기반 다중 홉 전송망의 부반송파 페어링 방법들은 단순히 채널의 신호대잡음비(SNR)만을 고려한 것이므로, 2차 시스템의 사용으로 인해 1차 사용자에게 미치는 간섭량을 고려해야 하는 무선 인지 환경에는 적합하지 않다. 따라서, 본 논문은 OFDMA 기반의 다중 홉 무선 인지 시스템에서 1차 사용자에게 미치는 간섭을 제거하기 위해 전력제어를 수행할 경우, 감소된 수율을 향상시키기 위한 효과적인 부반송파 할당 방법에 관해 연구를 수행하였다. 간섭 채널 이득만을 고려한 IT(Interference channel gain) 방법과 채널 이득과 간섭 채널 이득의 비를 고려한 CI(Channel SNR over interference channel gain) 방법, 2가지의 부반송파 페어링 방법을 제안했으며, 모의실험을 통해 기존 방법과 성능비교를 수행하였다. 무선 인지 시스템에서 간섭 임계치를 만족시키기 위해 전력 제어가 필요한 경우에는 제안한 CI 방법이 성능이 가장 우수했으며, 기존 방법보다 최대 약 10% 이상의 수율 향상을 거두는 것을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 지상파 디지털 멀티미디어 방송시스템 용 등화기반 동일채널 중계기의 성능을 분석한다. 동일채널 중계기의 가장 큰 문제는 에코에 의한 성능열화로 간섭제거기가 필연적으로 사용되어야 하는데, 일반적으로 간섭제거기는 중계기 출력을 기준신호로 LMS(Least mean square) 알고리즘을 적용하여 에코채널을 추정하고 중계기 입력에서 이를 제거하는 형태로 동작된다. 그러나, LMS 알고리즘의 추적성능에는 한계가 있어 제거되지 못한 잔여 에코가 나타나게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 잔여 에코의 제거를 위하여 간섭제거 후단에 등화기를 사용하는 등화기반 동일채널 중계기를 고려하며 등화기를 사용함으로써 얻을 수 있는 이득에 대한 성능분석을 수행한다. 등화기는 우선 효과적인 잔여 에코 및 채널 추정을 위해 간섭제거기 후단에서 파일럿 심볼을 이용한 채널 추정을 수행하며 이에 기초하여 호모모르픽 분해(Homomorphic decomposition)를 이용한 역채널 보상방법을 사용한다. 모의실험 결과는 잔여에코에 의한 성능열화를 등화기를 사용함으로써 상당부분 방지할 수 있음을 보여준다.

Cognitive radio (CR) has emerged as one of effective methods to enhance the utilization of existing radio spectrum. Main principle of CR is that secondary users (SUs) are allowed to use the spectrum unused by primary users (PUs) without interfering PU's transmissions. In this paper, PUs operate on a slot-by-slot basis and SUs try to exploit the slots unused by PUs. We propose OSA protocols in the single channel and we propose an opportunistic spectrum access (OSA) protocols in the multi-channel cognitive radio networks with one control channel and several licensed channels where a slot is divided into contention phase and transmission phase. A slot is divided into reporting phase, contention phase and transmission phase. The reporting phase plays a role of finding idle channels unused by PUs and the contention phase plays a role of selecting a SU who will send packets in the data transmission phase. One SU is selected by carrier sense multiple access / collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) with request to send / clear to send (RTS/CTS) mechanism on control channel and the SU is allowed to occupy all remaining part of all idle channels during the current slot. For mathematical analysis, first we deal with the single-channel case and we model the proposed OSA media access control (MAC) protocol by three-dimensional discrete time Markov chain (DTMC) whose one-step transition probability matrix has a special structure so as to apply the censored Markov chain method to obtain the steady state distribution.We obtain the throughput and the distribution of access delay. Next we deal with the multi-channel case and obtain the throughput and the distribution of access delay by using results of single-channel case. In numerical results, our mathematical analysis is verified by simulations and we give numerical results on throughput and access delay of the proposed MAC protocol. Finally, we find the maximum allowable number of SUs satisfying the requirements on throughput and access delay.

Power control is a key technique in spectrum underlay cognitive network to guarantee the interference temperature limit of the primary users (PUs) and the quality of service of the secondary users (SUs). In this paper, a robust power control scheme via link gain pricing with $H_{\infty}$ estimator is proposed. The scheme guarantees the interference temperature of the PUs through operating in the network-centric manner, and keeps the fairness between the SUs through link gain pricing. Furthermore, the $H_{\infty}$ filter is also used in the proposed scheme to estimate the channel variation, and thus the power control scheme is robust to the severe channel fading. Plenty of simulations are taken, and prove its superior robust performance against the channel fading, and its effectiveness in guaranteeing the interference temperature limit of the PUs.

실시간 응용을 위한 데이터베이스 시스템은 시간 제약 조건을 만족시켜야 하며, 데이터 일관성을 유지해야 한다. 또한 다중레벨을 지원하는 보안 프로토콜은 cover channel의 생성을 방지하는 것이 중요하다. Son과 Mukkamala는 primary copy와 secondary copy를 사용한 SRT-2PL을 개발하였다. 이 프로토콜은 보안 레벨간의 불간섭(non-interference)을 지원하며, covert channel의 발생을 막을 수 있으며, 지연이 적고 취소가 적으므로 실시간 데이터베이스 시스템에서 보안을 유지하는데 사용될 수 있다. 그러나 secondary copy를 모든 데이터 오브젝트에 대해 항상 보존해야 하므로 작업공간의 낭비가 있고, 데이터의 갱신을 위해 update queue를 관리해야 하는 오버헤드와 그에 따른 예측성 결여가 문제점으로 나타난다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 불간섭을 지원하여 covert channel의 발생을 방지하면서, 복사본의 유지 기간을 줄여 실시간 지원을 강화시키고, 예측성을 좀더 높인 개선된 SRT-2PL 실시간 데이터베이스 보안 프로토콜을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 동적 복사 알고리즘은 트랜잭션의 동작에 따라 동적으로 복사본을 생성하여 레벨간의 불간섭을 제공함과 동시에, 복사본의 유지 기간을 줄여 작업공간의 낭비를 줄이고 예측성을 높일 수 있다.

When subjected to a change in dimensions, the device performance decreases. Multi-gate SOI devices, viz. the Double Gate MOSFET (DG-MOSFET), are expected to make inroads into integrated circuit applications previously dominated exclusively by planar MOSFETs. The primary focus of attention is how channel engineering (i.e. Graded Channel (GC)) and gate engineering (i.e. Dual Insulator (DI)) as gate oxide) creates an effect on the device performance, specifically, leakage current ($I_{off}$), on current ($I_{on}$), and DIBL. This study examines the performance of the devices, by virtue of a simulation analysis, in conjunction with N-channel DG-MOSFETs. The important parameters for improvement in circuit speed and power consumption are discussed. From the analysis, DG-DI MOSFET is the most suitable candidate for high speed switching application, simultaneously providing better performance as an amplifier.
