The main focus of this paper is the analysis of the different components of the variability for strong ground motions recorded from earthquakes produced by the Vrancea subcrustal seismic source. The analysis is performed for two ground motion prediction equations: Youngs et al. (1997) and Zhao et al. (2006), recommended within the SHARE project for the Vrancea subcrustal seismic source and which are proposed in the work of Delavaud et al. (2012) and graded best in Vacareanu et al. (2013c). The first phase of the analysis procedure consists of a grading procedure. In the second phase, the single station sigma procedure is applied for both attenuation models in order to reduce some parts of ground motion models' variability produced by the ergodic assumption. The strong ground motion database which is used throughout the study consists of over 400 accelerograms recorded from 9 Vrancea intermediate-depth seismic events. The results of the single station sigma analysis show significant reduction of the standard deviations, especially in the case of the Youngs et al. (1997) attenuation model, which is also graded better than the other selected GMPE.

The objective of this study was to analyze effects of aging time on property degradation of super austenitic stainless steel of PRE 52.8 and super duplex stainless steel of PRE 48.7. To analyze corrosion properties based on aging time, a critical pitting temperature test was performed in a solution of 6% FeCl₃ + 1% HCl and an anodic polarization test was performed in deaerated 0.5N HCl + 1N NaCl solution at a temperature of 50 ℃. Surface hardness was measured to analyze mechanical properties. It was found that corrosion properties and mechanical properties deteriorated rapidly as aging time increased. Critical pitting temperature had the most effect on critical aging time at which property changes occurred rapidly, followed by pitting potential and hardness. This trend was found to be closely related to the fraction of sigma phase. Rate of sigma phase formation was found to be significantly faster in duplex stainless steel than in austenitic stainless steel.

CR 렌즈에 가한 미세응력 크기의 시각화를 위한 편광기는 광원-편광판-시료-편광판-CCD-컴퓨터-chrome 변환 로 구성하였고, 각 편광판의 단계별 광 파의 $E_1$, $E_2$의 성분을 분석하여, 주 응력차 ${\sigma}_1-{\sigma}_2$와 무늬 차수(n)를 유도하였다. 시료의 광 축이 주 응력 방향과 일치하는 것으로부터 2 차원 모델을 결정할 수 있다. 광파에 작용하는 이중 굴절성과 위상 지연은 주 응력차(${\sigma}_1-{\sigma}_2$)에 비례하며, 최종 광 파의 세기는 $sin^2({\Delta}/2)$에 비례하고, ${\Delta}/2=n{\pi}$ (n=0, 1, 2, ${\ldots}$)일 때 흡광이 일어난다. 미세 응력에 의한 광탄성은 chrome 변환을 이용하여 분석 가능하였으며, 이미지는 뚜렷하였다.

The Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) genome contains six operons (rrnA to F) for ribosomal RNA synthesis. Transcription from rrnD occurs from four promoters (p1 to p4). We found that transcripts from the p1 and p3 promoters were most abundant in vivo in the early exponential phase. However, at later phases of exponential and stationary growth, transcripts from the p1 promoter decreased drastically, with the p3 and p4 transcripts constituting the major forms. Partially purified RNA polymerase supported transcription from the p3 and p4 promoters, whereas pure reconstituted RNA polymerase with core enzyme (E) and the major vegetative sigma factor ${\sigma}^{HrdB}$ ($E{\cdot}{\sigma}^{HrdB}$) did not. In order to assess any potential requirement for additional factor(s) that allow transcription from the p3 and p4 promoters, we fractionated a partially purified RNA polymerase preparation by denaturing gel filtration chromatography. We found that transcription from the p3 and p4 promoters required factor(s) of about 30-35 kDa in addition to RNAP holoenzyme ($E{\cdot}{\sigma}^{HrdB}$). Therefore, transcription from the p3 and p4 promoters, which contain a consensus -10 region but no -35 for ${\sigma}^{HrdB}$ recognition, are likely to be regulated by transcription factor(s) that modulate RNA polymerase holoenzyme activity in S. coelicolor.

Microstructural evolution of Pt-aluminide coated Ni-based superalloy has been investigated with ductilization heat treatment. The Pt coat was prepared on the superalloy and then aluminide coating was conducted using a pack cementation process. Samples were heat-treated at $1050^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs and the microstructure and element analysis were preformed. A various precipitated compounds were observed within the coating layer and the diffusion region in the Pt-aluminide coating and heat treatment, indicating that the bi-phase compounds of $PtAl_2$ and NiAl were performed during the Pt-aluminide coating, whereas $M_{23}C_6$, MC, $Ni_3Al$ and ${\sigma}$ phases were precipitated in the inter-diffusion region. The bi-phase compounds of $PtAl_2$ and NiAl were transformed into the single phase compound of $PtAl_2$ with the heat treatment, increasing the amount of carbide and ${\sigma}$ phase.

OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 시스템은 이동성이 있는 고속 데이터 전송에 적합한 전송 방법으로 널리 알려져 있지만, 위상 잡음과 직교 불균형(IQ imbalance)에 매우 민감한 특성을 보이는 단점이 있다. 그러므로, 본 논문에서는 위상 잡음 특성에 따른 위상 잡음 분산을 계산한 다음, 직교 불균형이 있는 OFDM 시스템의 통신 성능을 분석하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 위상 잡음의 분산과 직교 불균형의 크기 변화에 따라 통신 성능이 변화하는 것을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 진폭 불균형이 ${\varepsilon}$=0.2; 0.3; 0.4이고, 위상 불균형이 ${\phi}=10^0$이고, 위상 잡음의 분산 ${\sigma}^2=0.012$일 때, BER은 $10^{-5}$에서 각각 2.88 dB, 3.61 dB, 4.69 dB의 SNR penalty가 존재한다.

The duplex stainless clad vessel with 38m & over thickness shall be performed to PWHT based on the ASME code. In this case, it is well-known that precipitators such as carbides and sigma($\sigma$) phase are formed at gram boundary between ferrite and austenite phase. Therefore, a weld test for simulating this situation has been planned and performed by 3309LMo71-1 for barrier layer and E2209Tl-1 for 2nd & over layer and then carried out to investigate the overlaid weld metal. Based on the test results, it could be concluded that PWHT should be carried out after the completion of 1st(barrier) layer and then 2 & over layer should be applied.

The microstructural evolution in a 304 stainless steel weld during FSW was examined. The SZ and TMAZ showed typical dynamically recrystallized and recovered microstructures, respectively, The microstructural observation revealed that sigma phase was formed at the advancing side of the stir zone. A possibility was suggested that the rapid formation of the sigma phase is related to the transformation of austenite to delta-ferrite in the stir zone, from introduction of high strain and dynamic recrystallization during FSW.

Rapid and high-precision positioning with a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is feasible only when very precise carrier-phase observations can be used. There are two kinds of mathematical models for ambiguity resolution. The first one is based on both pseudorange and carrier phase measurements, and the observation equations are of full rank. The second one is only based on carrier phase measurement, which is a rank-defect model. Though the former is more commonly used, the latter has its own advantage, that is, ambiguity resolution will be freed from the effects of pseudorange multipath. Galileo will be operational. One of the important differences between Galileo and current GPS is that Galileo will provide signals in four frequency bands. With more carrier-phase data available, frequency combinations with long equivalent wavelength can be formed, so Galileo will provide more opportunities for fast and reliable ambiguity resolution than current GPS. This paper tries to investigate phase only fast ambiguity resolution performance with four Galileo frequencies for short baseline. Cascading Ambiguity Resolution (CAR) method with selected optimal frequency combinations and LAMBDA method are used and compared. To validate the resolution, two tests are used and compared. The first one is a ratio test. The second one is lower bound success-rate test. The simulation test results show that, with LAMBDA method, whether with ratio test or lower bound success rate validation criteria, ambiguity can be fixed in several seconds, 8 seconds at most even when 1 sigma of carrier phase noise is 12 mm. While with CAR method, at least about half minute is required even when 1 sigma of carrier phase noise is 3 mm. It shows that LAMBDA method performs obviously better than CAR method.
