The transfer function of an acoustic system, in general, often exhibits a wide dynamic range and a very long impulse response. The time-stretched pulse (TSP) proposed by Aoshima (ATSP) has a small peak-factor and is accordingly suitable for the measuring impulse responses. The pulse is not so suitable, however, for the measurement of impulse responses over a wide frequency range. In this paper, we try to generalize and optimize this method (OATSP). This makes the method applicable for measuring of impulse responses longer than the length of the TSP. An analysis of error in such a case is also shown. Finally, we discuss how to implement this technique in specific measurement conditins.

The threshold voltage shift in thin-film transistors (TFTs) is modeled using stretched-exponential (SE) and stretched-hyperbola (SH) functions. These models are derived by introducing empirical parameters into reaction rate equations that describe defect generation or charge trapping caused by hydrogen diffusion in the dielectric or interface. Separately, the dielectric relaxation phenomena are also described by the same reaction rate equations based on defect diffusion. Dielectric relaxation was initially modeled using the SE model, and various models have been proposed using fractional calculus. In this study, the characteristics of the threshold voltage shift and the dielectric relaxation phenomena are compared and analyzed to explore the applicability of analytical models used in the field of dielectric relaxation, in addition to the conventional SE and SH models.

The morphology of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)/poly(m-xylene adipamide) (MXD-6) blends, which was prepared by adding compatibilizer and interchange reaction agent, was investigated. The morphological change in the stretched blend films was also studied. The stretched film showed a dispersed MXD-6 fibril. This fibril became finer with increasing draw ratio (DR). The addition of compatibilizer and interchange reaction agent had no effect on the improvement of interfacial adhesion but caused a defect between the continuous phase and the dispersed phase, leading to the formation of irregular fibril. The change in the superstructure of blends with composition and draw ratio was examined with light scattering (LS). The H$\sub$v/ LS patterns showed a double-cross type pattern consisting of a broad rod-like pattern and a sharp cross streak. On the basis of the model calculation of the H$\sub$v/ pattern, it was found that the appearance of the double-cross type pattern was attributed to the stacking of crystals oriented along the draw direction. The crystals were gradually oriented to the stretching direction with draw ratio. As a result, the high level of orientation was obtained fur the sample of draw ratio is 6.0.

Full load rejection capability of nuclear power plant depends primarily on steam dump capacity (SDCAP) and steam generator level control capability. Recently, Ulchin Units 1&2 have performed stretched power uprate (SPU) and replacement steam generator (RSG) projects, which increase the power by 4.5 percent. They change major design or operating parameters and especially reduces steam dump capacity at full power due to increase of the steam flow. The reduction of SDC after SPU results in degradation of heat removal capability in full load rejection transients. Therefore, we should perform evaluation to determine whether reactor trips occur in large load rejection transients. Uchin Units 1&2 have experienced full load rejection (FLR) three times from 2004 to 2010. Operating data from the plant occurrence of FLR at Ulchin Units 1&2 showed that steam generator (SG) level transients were limiting in point of reactor trip. However the plant had never reached reactor trip in the FLR and successfully continued in house load operation. The parameters and setpoints for the SG will be changed if the SG is replaced. Therefore, we evaluated the appropriateness of steam dump, main feedwater and steam generator water level control system preventing the plant from reactor trip in case of FLR by the parameter sensitivity study whether SG water level operated smoothly after SPU and RSG projects.

The wind speed at the altitude around 300 m is much higher and less variable than at the altitude around 80 m which is the same height of the MW class tower turbine's hub height. The wind power density is increased 0.37 W/$m^2$ per meter at the altitude around 6 to 7 km and 0.25 W/$m^2$ per meter at the altitude around 80 to 500 m. There are two types of power generation systems using lifting bodies. The one is that The generator is installed in the ground station and stretched into the lifting body through the tether. The other is that the generator is installed in the lifting body and stretched into the ground station through the tether. Many kinds of lifting bodies are also researched in the world, called kites, wings, single or twin aerostat, and so on. This article introduced the technical development status and the market prospects of the high altitude wind power generation system all over the world in detail.

The structures of the mesophases and their subunits of PS-b-P4VP in a toluene solution were studied by using SAXS, TEM and GIFT methods. The hierarchical structures of PS-b-P4VP, such as the individual micelle, the face-centered cubic (fcc) and body-centered cubic (bcc) structures and the lamellar structure, were identified for the first time. The diameter of the micelle core was ${\sim}80\;%$ of the most extended chain length of the core chain, suggesting that the core chains were quite stretched. The stretched chain in the core caused the core of the micelle to be not homogenous with a higher density at the center than at the outer part. As the concentration level increases, the fcc and both fcc and bcc appear for the packing of the micelles of PS(3.3k)-b-P4VP(4.7K) and PS(12K)-b-P4VP(11.8K), respectively. The lamellar structure was also identified, with a further increase in the concentration for PS(3.3k)-b-P4VP(4.7K). These hierarchical structures were also identified via TEM images.

Although the relationship between temporomandibular disorder and forward head posture (FHP) is controversial, it is generally accepted that altered head posture can affect mandible position and masticatory muscles activity. Because suprahyoid (SH) and infrahyoid (IH) muscles are stretched by increased passive tension in FHP, this study investigated their activity during mouth opening in FHP compared to neutral head posture (NHP). Twenty healthy subjects (10 males and 10 females) participated in this study. Head postures were evaluated with a cervical range of motion instrument. Electromyography (EMG) activity of bilateral SH and IH muscles was measured while an open mouth was maintained at each head posture. Paired t-test was used to identify significant differences in normalized EMG activity between head postures. Statistical significance was set at .01. Results showed the normalized EMG activity of SH and IH muscles were significantly lower in FHP compared to NHP. This finding indicates that FHP affects the EMG activity of hyoid muscles when they are stretched.
