In general, manholes installed as urban drainage facilities are a variety forms such as straight path manholes, 90 degree bend manhole, three-way combining manhole, and four-way combining manhole. In particular, the surcharged flow at a four-way manholes installed in the downstream of urban sewer system is the main cause of the urban inundation caused by the energy loss. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the flow characteristics and estimate the head loss coefficients at surcharged four-way combining manholes. The hydraulic experimental apparatus which can change the manhole shapes (square, circle) and flow ratios were installed to estimate the head loss coefficients. In the experiments, two inflows ($Q_m$, $Q_{lat}$) were varied from 0 to $4.8{\ell}/sec$ and 24 combinations were tested in total. The flow ratios $Q_{lat}/Q_{out}$ were varied from 0 to 1 for a total flow $Q_{out}$ ($Q_{out}=Q_m+2Q_{lat}$) of 2, 3, 4, and $4.8{\ell}/sec$, respectively. The variation of head losses were strongly influenced by the lateral inflow because the head loss coefficient increases as the flow ratios $Q_{lat}/Q_{out}$ increases. It was estimated head loss coefficients of the circular manhole is slightly lower than those of the square manhole. However, there was no significant difference of head loss as discharges change. The range of head loss coefficients at four-way combining manhole according to the change of the lateral inflow ratio was estimated to be 0.4 to 0.8. Also, the relation equations between the head loss coefficients (K) and the lateral inflow ratios ($Q_{lat}/Q_{out}$) were suggested in this paper.

High-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) is generated from a nuclear burst at high altitudes above the Earth, the electromagnetic fields reach the ground nearly simultaneously with regard to the operation time of systems. The aim of this analysis is to inquire about HEMP characteristics and to analyze about effect in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system. Specifically, HEMP characteristics are classified field sources, spatial coverage, time domain behavior, frequency spectrum and field intensities in this study. Bits error rate (BER) of the receiver with the software simulation is confirmed for the HEMP effect. Q-factor made a difference about interference duration by transfer characteristics of system. When Q factor is smaller, the recovery time from HEMP interference is short. To the contrary, if the Q factor is larger, the recovery duration is lasted longer by 300-600%.

The paper presents the design of a segmented type synchronous reluctance motor(SynRM) to increase its torque and power factor. The main feature of a segmented type synchronous reluctance motor is the flux barrier. Thus, the design process to find optimum value of various geometric parameters including flux barrier will be explained. Optimum value of each parameter is found where the d, q inductance difference and saliency ratio are maximized because these inductance characteristics are related to torque and power factor. Finite Element Analysis will be used to simulate motor characteristics. Analysis results of redesigned SynRM show higher saliency ratio over 10 and improved value of maximum power factor.

A numerical analysis has been performed for natural convection in an air conditioner duct system. The governing equations were solved a finite volume method using a SIMPLE algorithm. In the calculation mode of duct, the room temperature was preserved at $25.0^{\circ}C$ and duct wall temperature had a temperature of 15, 20.0, 22.5, 23.75, 26.25, 27.5 30 and $35^{\circ}C$. The results of velocity vectors and contours have been represented for various parameters. Based on the numerical data, the relationships between temperature difference and flow rate into room was represented. In the case of $T_\gamma>T_\omega$, the equation for temperature difference and flow rate was $Q=0.0285\triangleT^0.4005$, and in the case of $T_\gamma>T_\omega$, the equation was $Q=0.0099\triangleT^0.4752$. The duct system has an important relation to room temperature and duct wall temperature.

By employing the Riccati transformation technique some new oscillation criteria for the second-order neutral delay dynamic equation $$(y(t)+r(t)y({\tau}(t)))^{{\Delta}{\Delta}}+p(t)y(\delta(t))=0$$, on a time scale $\mathbb{T}$ are established. Our results as a special case when $\mathbb{T}=\mathbb{R}$ and $\mathbb{T}=\mathbb{N}$ improve some well known oscillation criteria for second order neutral delay differential and difference equations, and when $\mathbb{T}=q^{\mathbb{N}}$, i.e., for second-order $q$-neutral difference equations our results are essentially new and can be applied on different types of time scales. Some examples are considered to illustrate the main results.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the dynamical behavior of the difference equation $$x_{n+1}={\frac{{\alpha}x_n}{{\beta}+{\gamma}x^p_{n-1}x^q_{n-2}}},\;n=0,1,{\ldots}$$, where the parameters ${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$, ${\gamma}$, p, q are non-negative numbers and the initial values $x_{-2}$, $x_{-1}$, $x_0$ are positive numbers. Also, some numerical examples are given to verify our theoretical results.

Recently, various experiments to apply reinforcement learning method to the self-learning intelligent control of continuous dynamic system have been reported in the machine learning related research community. The reports have produced mixed results of some successes and some failures, and show that the success of reinforcement learning method in application to the intelligent control of continuous control systems depends on the ability to combine proper function approximation method with temporal difference methods such as Q-learning and value iteration. One of the difficulties in using function approximation method in connection with temporal difference method is the absence of guarantee for the convergence of the algorithm. This paper provides a proof of convergence of a particular function approximation method based on \"barycentric interpolator\" which is known to be computationally more efficient than multilinear interpolation .

This study investigated speech rate and intonation slope (least square method; F0, quarter-tone) in normal and CI children's utterances. Each group consisted of 12 people and were divided into groups of children with CI operation (before 3;00), children with CI operation (after 3;00), and normal children. Materials are composed of four kinds of grammatical dialogue sentences which are lacking in respect. Given three groups as independent variables and both speech rate and intonation slope as dependent variables, a one-way ANOVA showed that normal children had faster speech rates and steeper intonation slopes than those of the CI group. More specifically, there was a statistically significant speech rate difference between normal and CI children in all of the sentential patterns but imperative form (p<.01). Additionally, F0 and qtone slope observed in sentential final word showed a significant statistical difference between normal and CI children in imperative form (f0: p<.01; q-tone: p<.05).
