Experiments were conducted to estimate the performance of drag force type vertical axis wind turbine with an opening-shutting rotor. It was operated by the difference in drag force generated on both sides of the blades. The rotational speed was measured by a tachometer in a wind tunnel and the tunnel wind speed was measured by using a pilot-static tube and a micro manometer. The performance test for a prototype was accomplished by calculating power, power coefficient, torque coefficient from the measurement of torque and rpm by a dynamometer controller. Various design parameters, such as the number of blades(B), blade aspect ratio(W/R), angle of blades$(\alpha)$ and drag coefficient acting on a blade, were considered for optimal conditions. At the experiment of miniature model, maximum efficiency was found at N=15, $\alpha=60^{\circ}$ and W/R=0.32. The measured test variables were power, torque, rotational speed, and wind speeds. The data presented are in the form of power and torque coefficients as a function of tip-speed ratio V/U. Maximum power was found in case of $\Omega=0.33$, when the power and torque coefficient were 0.14 and 0.37 respectively. Comparing model test with prototype test, similarity law by advance ratio for vertical axis wind turbine was confirmed.

The location template matching (LTM) method is a technique of identifying an impact location on a structure, and is often applied to structural health monitoring and large scale human-computer interface (HCI) systems. The LTM method utilizes a certain measure of similarity between two time signals. The correlation coefficient is most widely used for this purpose, and the group delay based method is recently proposed to improve the accuracy of finding the best matching pair of signals. In practice, one of key essential consideration for implementing the LTM method is to guarantee that a sufficient number of vibration modes must be contained in the measured signal, and yet the lower sampling rate is needed for a real-time implementation. In this paper, the properties of correlation coefficient and group delay with respect to the number of vibration modes are investigated. A few important results are obtained through extensive computer simulations and experiments. If the number of vibration modes contained in the measured signal is more than four it is sufficient for the correlation based LTM method, while the group delay based LTM method requires smaller number of vibration modes.

In the present study, squeezing flow of micropolar nanofluid between parallel infinite disks in the presence of magnetic field perpendicular to plane of the disks is taken into account. The constitutive equations that govern the flow configuration are converted into nonlinear ordinary differential with the help of suitable similarity transforms. HAM package BVPh2.0 has been employed to solve the nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations. Effects of different emerging parameters like micropolar parameter K, squeezed Reynolds number R, Hartmann number M, Brownian motion parameter Nb, thermophoresis parameter Nt, Lewis number Le for dimensionless velocities, temperature distribution and concentration profile are also discussed graphically. In the presence of strong and weak interaction (i.e. n = 0 and n = 0.5), numerical values of skin friction coefficient, wall stress coefficient, local Nusselt number and local Sherwood number are presented in tabulated form. To check the validity and reliability of the developed algorithm BVPh2.0 a numerical investigation is also a part of this study.

Author resolution is to disambiguate same-name author occurrences into real individuals. For this, pair-wise author similarities are computed for author name entities, and then clustering is performed. So far, many studies have employed hierarchical clustering techniques for author disambiguation. However, various hierarchical clustering methods have not been sufficiently investigated. This study covers an empirical evaluation and analysis of hierarchical clustering applied to Korean author resolution, using multiple distance functions such as Dice coefficient, Cosine similarity, Euclidean distance, Jaccard coefficient, Pearson correlation coefficient.

The objectives of this paper are to study the heat transfer characteristics on enhanced surfaces, to develop experimental correlations of friction factor and Nusselt number, and to provide a guideline for optimum operation conditions at low temperature boiling for practical refrigeration applications. The working fluid (water, EG $30\%$) flows inside the enhanced tube and R134a boils on the outer surface. Two different types of Turbo-B tubes (Tube I and Tube II) are tested in the present study. The results show that Tube I gives a higher heat transfer coefficient with higher friction factor than Tube II. The present study provided experimental correlations for friction factor and heat transfer coefficient with error bands of ${\pm}5\%\;and\;{\pm}\;15\%$, respectively.

Multivariate fluctuating pressures acting on a 2:1 rectangular section (2-D) with dimensions of 9 cm by 4.5 cm has been studied using wind tunnel experiments under uniform and smooth flow condition for various angles of wind incidence. Based on the variation of mean pressure coefficient distributions along the circumference of the rectangular section with angle of wind incidence, and with the aid of skin friction coefficients, three distinct flow regimes with two transition regimes have been identified. Further, variations of mean drag and lift coefficients, Strouhal number with angles of wind incidence have been studied. The applicability of Universal Strouhal number based on vortex street similarity of wakes in bluff bodies to the 2:1 rectangular section has been studied for different angles of wind incidence. The spatio-temporal correlation features of the measured pressure data have been studied using Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) technique. The contribution of individual POD modes to the aerodynamic force components, viz, drag and lift, have been studied. It has been demonstrated that individual POD modes can be associated to different physical phenomena, which contribute to the overall aerodynamic forces.

The purpose of this study was to present the models for classifying the wrist X-ray images by types and for segmenting the radius automatically in each image using deep learning and to verify the learned models. The data were a total of 904 wrist X-rays with the distal radius fracture, consisting of 472 anteroposterior (AP) and 432 lateral images. The learning model was the ResNet50 model for AP/lateral image classification, and the U-Net model for segmentation of the radius. In the model for AP/lateral image classification, 100.0% was showed in precision, recall, and F1 score and area under curve (AUC) was 1.0. The model for segmentation of the radius showed an accuracy of 99.46%, a sensitivity of 89.68%, a specificity of 99.72%, and a Dice similarity coefficient of 90.05% in AP images and an accuracy of 99.37%, a sensitivity of 88.65%, a specificity of 99.69%, and a Dice similarity coefficient of 86.05% in lateral images. The model for AP/lateral classification and the segmentation model of the radius learned through deep learning showed favorable performances to expect clinical application.

In order to genralize the vertical dispersion of plume at long distances on mesoscale over complex terrain dispersion coefficients data have been obtained systematically according to lapsed time after release by using a composite turbulence water tank that simulates convective boundary layer. Dispersion experiments have been carried out for various combined conditions of thermal turbulence intensity mechanical turbulence intensity and plume release height at slightly to moderately unstable conditions. Results of tracer dispersion experiments conducted using water tank camera and image processing system have been converted into atmospheric dispersion data through the application of similarity law. The equation $\sigma$z/Zi=aX/(b+c X2)0.5 where $\sigma$2; vertical dispersion coefficient zi : mixing height X : dimen-sionaless downwind distance was confirmed to be an appropriate and general equation for expressing $\sigma$2 variation with turbulence intensity and plume release height, The value of "a" was found to be principally affected by mechanical turbulence intensity and that of "b" by mechanical turbulence intensity and release height. It was confirmed that the magnitude of "c" varies with release height. Results of water tank experiments on the relationship of $\sigma$2 vs downwind distance x have been compared with actual atmospheric dispersion data such as CONDORS data and Bowne's nomogram Operating conditions of a composite turbulence water tank for simulating the field turbulence situations of CONDORS experiments and Bowne's $\sigma$2(x) nomogram for suburban area have also been investigated in terms of water temperature difference between convection water tank and bottom plate heating tank grid plate stroke mixing water depth length scale and velocity scale. Moreover the effect of mechanical turbulence intensity on vertical dispersion has been discussed in the light of release height and downwind distance. height and downwind distance.

First reason for generation of standby power is because starting voltage must pass through from the source of electricity to IC. The second reason is due to current when IC is in operation. Purpose of this abstract is on structures of simple modules that automatically switch on or off through analysis of state on standby power and analysis of cutoff point patterns as well as application of algorithms. To achieve this, this paper is based on analysis of electric signals and modeling. Also, on/off cutoff criteria has been established for reduction of standby power. To find on/off cutoff point, that is executed algorithm of similar group and leading pattern group generation in the standby power state. Therefore, the algorithm was defined as an important parameter of the subtraction value of calculated between $1^{st}$ SCS, $2^{nd}$ SCS, and the median value of sampling coefficient per second from a wall outlet.

The MPEG-7 standard defines a set of descriptors that extracts low-level features such as color, texture and object shape from an image and generates metadata in order to represent these extracted information. But the matching performance for image mining ma y not be satisfactory by u sing only on e of these features. Rather than by combining these features we can achieve a better query performance. In this paper we propose a new image retrieval technique for image mining that combines the features extracted from MPEG-7 visual color and texture descriptors. Specifically, we use only some specifications of Scalable Color Descriptor (SCD) and Non-Homogeneous Texture Descriptor also known as Edge Histogram Descriptor (EHD) for the implementation of the color and edge histograms respectively. MPEG-7 standard defines $l_{1}$-norm based matching in EHD and SCD. But in our approach, for distance measurement, we achieve a better result by using cosine similarity coefficient for color histograms and Euclidean distance for edge histograms. Our approach toward this system is more experimental based than hypothetical.
