This paper presents a torsional micromirror detached from PZT actuators (TMD), whose rotational motion is achieved by push bars in the PZT actuators detached from the micromirror. The push bar mechanism is intended to reduce the bending, tensile and torsional constraints generated by the conventional bending bar mechanism, where the torsional micromirror is attached to the PZT actuators (TMA). We have designed, fabricated and tested prototypes of TMDs for single-axis and dual-axis rotation, respectively. The single-axis TMD generates the static rotational angle of $6.1^{\circ}$ at 16 VDC, which is 6 times larger than that of single-axis TMA, $0.9^{\circ}$. However, the rotational response curve of TMD shows hysteresis due to the static friction between the cover and the push bar in the PZT actuator. We have shown that 63.2% of the hysteresis is due to the static friction caused by the initial contact force of the PZT actuaor. Without the initial contact force, the rotational response curve of TMD shows linear voltage-angle characteristics. The dual-axis TMD generates the static rotational angles of $5.5^{\circ}$ and $4.7^{\circ}$ in x-axis and y-axis, respectively at 16 VDC. The measured resonant frequencies of dual-axis TMD are $2.1\pm0.1$ kHz in x-axis and $1.7\pm0.1$ kHz in y-axis. The dual-axis TMD shows stable operation without severe wear for 21.6 million cycles driven by 16 Vp-p sinusoidal wave signal at room temperature.

This study presents a fatigue line with a plastic rotational angle to a great extent of plastic strain of Low-Cycle-Fatigue period, such as earthquake, etc. This fatigue line with a plastic rotational angle is measured and analysed more simply in practice rather than Woehler's fatigue line which is developed in stress variation of the structure. It shows that the slope of fatigue line with a plastic rotational angle is equal to that with plastic strain through the experiments by proving the correlation that the plastic strain ratio is directly proportional to the plastic rotational angle in plastic hinge. The theory is induced by Manson and Coffin strain fatigue line, and the experiments are tested by ECCS. The location of the plastic hinge is achieved and accurate plastic strain ratio is calculated through FEM.

Fluorescence polarization of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) was used to evaluate the effects of chlorpromazine HCl on the range of the rotational mobility of bulk bilayer structure of the synaptosomal plasma membrane vesicles (SPMV) isolated from a bovine brain. In a dose-dependent manner, chlorpromazine HCl increased the anisotropy (r), limiting anisotropy ($r_{\infty}$) and order parameter (S) of DPH in the membranes. Cationic 1-[4-(trimethylammonio)-phenyl]-6-phenylhexa-1,3,5-hexatriene (TMA-DPH) and anionic 3-[p-(6-phenyl)-1,3,5-hexatrienyl]-phenylpropionic acid (PRO-DPH) were utilized to examine the range of transbilayer asymmetric rotational mobility of the neuronal membranes. The anisotropy (r) of TMA-DPH in the inner monolayer was 0.034 greater than the value of PRO-DPH in the outer monolayer of the membranes. Both cationic TMA-DPH and anionic PRO-DPH were also used to examine the transbilayer asymmetric effects of chlorpromazine HCl on the range of rotational mobility of the membranes. Chlorpromazine HCl have a decreasing effects on the rotational mobility of the bulk bilayer structures and have a greater decreasing effect on the mobility of the inner monolayer as compared to the outer monolayer of the membranes. It has been proven that chlorpromazine HCl exhibit a selective rather than nonselective fluidizing effect within the transbilayer domains of the SPMV.

This study was designed to reveal the correlationship between the internal derangement state of TMJ and clinical characteristics including pain and mandibular dysfunction. One hundred and twenty five subjects with TMJ signs and symptoms were chosen for two years. The level of pain and madibular dysfunction were evaluated by Visual Analog Scale(VAS) and Craniomandibular Index(CMI). The diagnostic categories of TMJ internal derangement were determined by arthrography and they included normal disc position, anterior disc displacement with reduction(ADDR), rotational disc displacement with reduction (RDDR), anterior disc displacement without reduction(ADDNR), and rotational disc displacement without reduction(RDDNR). Also disc perforation was used as a criteria to divide the diagnostic subgroups. The obtained results were as follows; 1. The patient distribution of each group was 5 in normal disc position(4％), 40 in ADDR(32％), 30 in RDDR(24％), 34 in ADDNR(27％), and 16 in RDDNR(13％). 2. Perforation was observed in 8％ of ADDR, 10％ of RDDR, 32％ of ADDNR, and 19％ of RDDNR. 3. CMI of non-reduction group was higher than that of reduction or normal group(p<0.05), but V AS showed no significant difference.4. CMI of perforation group was higher than that of non-perforation group in reduction group (p<0.05). 5. There were no significant differences of CMI and VAS between anterior disc displacement group and rotational disc displacement group in both reduction and non-reduction group. 6. CMI of RDDNR group was higher than that of RDDR group(p<0.05). 7. There were no significant difference of CMI and VAS between bilateral involvement group and unilateral involvement group(p<0.05).

This paper presents a study on the experimental analysis of the impedance characteristics according to the rotational direction of the transmission beam of a cylindrical sensor array. Besides, this suggests a real time control technique of the transmitter output for the effective maximum power transmission, in order to drive efficiently the rotational transmission beam of the active sonar transmitter. The output characteristics of the transmitter and the real-time impedance variations of the sensor array are analyzed under the overload conditions. They are caused by electric and acoustic boundary conditions when the rotational transmission beam is operated. From these results, a new output control method of the transmitter is proposed to protect the transmitter and its loads. It can maximize the output power without the transmission pause even if the transient phenomena occur. The proposed technique is verified from the experiment.

The rotational stability of an interlocking caisson breakwater was studied. Using the analytical solution for the linear wave incident to the infinite breakwater, the phase difference effect of wave pressures in the direction of the breakwater baseline is considered, and Goda's wave pressure formula in the design code is adopted to consider the nonlinearity of the design wave. The rotational safety factor of the breakwater was defined as the ratio of the rotational frictional resistance moment due to caisson's own weight and the acting rotational moment due to the horizontal and vertical wave forces. An analytical solution for the rotational center point location and the minimum safety factor is presented. Stability assessment formula were proposed to be applicable to all design wave conditions used in current port and harbor structure design such as regular waves, irregular waves and multi-directional irregular waves.

This paper investigates the effect of the rotational motion of a driving fluid generated by a rotational motion device at the inlet of a driving nozzle for a gas-liquid ejector, which is the main device used for ozonated ship ballast water treatment. An experimental apparatus was constructed to study the pressure and suction flow rate of each port of the ejector according to the back pressure. Experimental data were acquired for the ejector without rotational motion. Based on the data, a finite element model was then developed. The rotational motion of the driving fluid could improve the suction efficiency of the ejector based on the CFD model. Based on the CFD results, structure optimization was performed for the internal shape of the rotation induction device to increase the suction flow rate of the ejector, which was performed using the kriging technique and a metamodel. The optimized rotation induction device improved the ejector efficiency by about 3% compared to an ejector without rotational motion of the driving fluid.

This study deals with the reliability analysis approach of the temporary structure that can consider the uncertainty in rotational stiffness at the joints of the members, for which the semi-rigid connections are modelled as rotational spring and its coefficient is treated as a random variable following uniform distribution. In addition, this study introduces a computational procedure of the effective length coefficient for more accurate buckling load according to connection conditions of the supporting members attached to the joint. From the results of this study, it can be seen that the failure probability of the joint-hinge model (Case 1) presented in the design standard is higher than that of the practical model (Case 5) considering the rotational stiffness at the joints. This implies that the design standard leads to a conservative design of the temporary structure. The results also confirmed that the failure probability of the vertical member, i.e., the most critical member, can be further reduced when the base connection is provided with a fixed end. The comparative results between FORM, SORM and MCS further demonstrated that FORM can have a high level of numerical efficiency while ensuring the accuracy of the solution, compared with SORM and MCS. Based on these results, the proposed approach can be used as an accurate and efficient reliability analysis method of the three dimensional temporary structure.

BACKGROUND: Pesticide uptake by a rotational crop after being used for the primary crop is a potential cause of violation against the pesticide law if the pesticide is not registered in the secondary crop. This study was conducted to investigate the plant back interval (PBI) of fluopyram for the rotational cultivation of radish. METHODS AND RESULTS: Two experimental approaches were performed the evaluation of residues in radish cultivated successively in soil 16 days after treated with fluopyram onto pepper plant (T1) and in radish cultivated in bare soil treated with fluopyram at PBI 30 and PBI 60 days (T2). A modified QuEChERS method coupled with LC/MS/MS analysis showed good linearity of matrix-matched standard calibration of fluopyram with the coefficient values of determination greater than 0.995. Recovery values at levels of 0.01, 0.05, 0.1 and 0.25 mg/kg ranged from average 84.9 to 117.6% with RSD less than 10%. Fluopyram residues in radish harvested from T1 and T2 were found as levels less than maximum residue limit. CONCLUSION: This study suggests 20~30 days as the PBI of fluopyram for the rotational cultivation of radish in the greenhouse soil treated with fluopyram used for pepper as the primary crop.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of rotational preference on body stability based on COP and EMG analysis in an quiet standing after turn in the left and right directions. The subjects of this study were 16 subjects with a high lateral preference for the right hand and foot. The subjects of this study were 16 subjects with high unilateral preference for the right hand and foot, and three rotational direction conditions (QS: quiet standing, LT: 10 turns on the left, RT: 10 turns on the right) were performed. In order to evaluate the stability in an quiet standing after turning, the results were derived and analyzed using a COP plate and an EMG. As a result of the study, LT and RT were larger than QS for all COP variables, but there was no difference according to the direction of turning. In EMG, RT showed larger muscle activity than the QS according to the rotational direction in left and right gastrocnemius. In conclusion, although all subjects had a high right lateral preference, there was no effect of rotational preference in COP, and gastrocnemius showed the effect of rotational preference.
