In this paper, a new try to measure nonlinear propagation characteristics of the pulse along blood vessel by using bispectral analysis is introduced, and the possibility of its application to the medical diagnosis is shown. In this method, the waveforms of pulse motion of blood vessel at two separated measuring points on the wall were detected from Doppler frequency modulation of transmitted probing ultrasonic waves. Then the auto- and crossbispectrum of detected waveforms are calculated to estimate the quadratic NTF (nonlinear transfer function) between the two measuring positions. In order to show relationships between the NTF and the nonlinear propagation characteristics, computer simulations have been performed. As the propagation distance increases, harmonic frequency components in NTF increases broadly due to the nonlinear effect in the propagation of blood pulse. In order to represent this phenomena quantitatively, we propose a new parameter, dispersion ratio of WTF. Basic experimental system was constructed by using 3.5MHz probing ultrasonic waves and the preliminary experiments were carried out on ague phantom and human body. Experimental results showed the validity of the measurement system enoughly.

Uniform semiclassical (WKB) solutions are obtained for nonseparable systems without using a close coupling formalism and are given explicitly in terms of well known analytic functions for various physically interesting and realistic cases. They do not become singular at turning points or surfaces and when taken in their asymptotic forms, they reduce to the usual WKB solutions that could be obtained if the Stokes phenomenon was properly taken care of for solutions. In obtaining such uniform solutions, the Schroedinger equations for nonseparable systems are suitably "renormalized" to solvable "normal" forms through certain transformations. Ehrenfest's adiabatic principle plays an important guiding role for obtaining such "renormalized" uniform solutions for nonseparable systems. The eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian can be calculated from the extended Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization rules when appropriate classical trajectories are obtained. An application is made to many-electron systems and for one of the simplest examples to show the utility of the method the approximate wavefunction is calculated of the ground state helium atom.

The finite element technique incorporatating infinite elements is applied to analyzing the general three dimensional wave-structure interaction problems within the limits of linear wave theory. The hydrodynamic forces are assumed to be inertially dominated, and viscous effects are neglected. In order to analyze the corresponding boundary value problems efficiently, two types of elements are developed. One is the infinite element for modeling the radiation condition at infinity, and the other is the fictitious bottom boundary element for the case of deep water. To validate those elements, numerical analyses are performed for several floating structures. Comparisons with the results by using other available solution methods show that the present method incorporating the infinite and the fictitious bottom boundary elements gives good results.

Unlike the conventional reverse time migration method which is implemented by simply extrapolating wavefield in reverse time, this paper presents a derivation of another reverse time migration operator as the exact adjoint of the presumed forward wavefield extrapolation operator. The adjoint operator is obtained by formulating the forward time extrapolation operator in an explicit matrix equation form and then taking the adjoint to this matrix equation followed by determining the corresponding operator. The reverse time migration operator as the exact adjoint to the implied forward operator can be used not only as a migration algorithm but also as an adjoint operator which is required in the imaging through an inversion such as least-squares migration.

An important source of noise from railways is rolling noise caused by wheel and rail vibrations induced by acoustic roughness at the wheel-rail contact. The main contributors to rolling noise are the sleepers, rail, and wheels. In order to analyze and predict rolling noise, it is necessary to understand the vibrating behaviors of railway tracks, as well as of the wheels. In the present paper, theoretical modeling methods for railway track are reviewed in terms of rolling noise; these methods are applied for the three representative types of domestic railway tracks operated: the conventional ballasted track, KTX ballasted track and KTX concrete track. The characteristics of waves propagating along rails are investigated and compared among the types of tracks. The tracks are modeled as discretely supported Timoshenko beams and are compared in terms of the averaged squared amplitude of velocity, which is directly related to the sound radiation from the rails.

We investigated the magnetism and electronic structures for the layered structures consisting of (110) layers of zinc-blende CrAs and MnAs. We calculated the electronic structures for $(CrAs)_3(MnAs)_3(110)$ superlattice consisted of alternating three layers of CrAs(110) and MnAs(110) by the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FLAPW) method. The calculated magnetic moment of Cr in interface layer ($3.07\;\mu_B$) was slightly larger than that of Cr atom in center layer ($3.06\;\mu_B$), while that of interface Mn atom ($3.74\;\mu_B$) was slightly smaller than the value of Mn atom in center layer ($3.76\;\mu_B$). The electronic structure and half-metallicity in this superlattice were discussed using the calculated density of states.

This study was designed, firstly, to determine the mineralogical and chemical characteristics of some rock aggregates, secondly, to offer interrelationships between those and mechanical properties, and thirdly, to evaluate their suitability for concrete aggregates. Mineralogical, chemical, physical and mechanical characteristics of the studied rock aggregates indicate that granite from BJ quarry and banded gneisses from KB. HI and SK quarry, and quartzite from the Hongcheon riverside are not proper to cement concrete aggregates because of quartz's potential possibility of alkali-silica reaction, and limestone in SY quarry is proper to asphalt concrete aggregates owing to dolomite causing alkali-carbonate reaction. Augen gneiss and diorite from KB and SA quarry, respectively, are to be not suitable for concrete aggregates because of biotite contents, but augen gneiss in HI quarry and gneisses in Hongcheon riverside are proper to concrete aggregates because of mineralogical and mechanical characteristics.

감세블록(baffle block)은 고속의 흐름에서 도수를 유도함으로써 과도한 에너지를 감세시키는 역할을 하는 구조물이며 구조물의 크기, 형태, 위치, 조합 등의 변수로 도수가 형성되는 조건을 조절하여 흐름에 영향을 줄 수 있다. 하단방류형 가동보에서 고속으로 방류되는 흐름의 Froude 수가 2.5에서 4.5 사이일 경우 발생하는 불규칙한 주기의 진동이 중첩 보강되면 감세하기 어려운 파동을 형성하여 수 Km 동안 지속될 수 있어 추가적인 조치가 필요하다(Peterka, 1984). 이 연구에서는 총 연장 11m, 폭 0.5m의 구형수로에 하단방류형 가동보와 감세블럭을 설치하여 감세블록의 위치가 에너지의 감세에 미치는 영향을 분석하고, 감세블록의 최적 위치를 제안하였다. 감세블럭은 높이 2cm, 폭 5cm의 구형단면으로 제작하여 일정한 간격으로 치형 배열하였으며, 가동보로 부터 5.5~8.5cm 지점에서 1cm간격으로 총 5가지 조건으로 수리실험을 수행하였다. 또한, 수문 하단에서의 Froude 수가 3.8~3.9를 만족하는 강한 도수가 발생할 수 있도록 유량을 조절 하였고, 유속과 수심은 3차원 유속계와 피에조미터를 이용하여 가동보로부터 0.2m간격으로 하류단 2m 지점까지 측정하였다. 실험 결과, 가동보로부터 도수가 발생하여 수위가 안정되는 지점까지의 도수길이는 감세블록을 설치한 경우, 설치하기 전의 1.1m와 비교하여 최소 27.3%에서 최대 81.8%만큼 짧아졌으며 감세블록 보에 가깝게 설치될수록 도수길이는 단축되는 것으로 나타났다. 가동보 하류부에서 도수가 발생한 이후 수심이 안정화되는 1m 지점에서, 도수 전후의 비에너지비로 정의되는 도수효율은 감세블록 미설치 시 74.9%이고, 감세블록이 설치된 조건에서는 54.9~60.6%로 감세블록에 의한 에너지 감소효과가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 에너지 감세 효과가 가장 큰 감세블록 위치는 가동보로부터 6.5cm 떨어진 곳으로 하류단 수심의 약 80%에 해당하는 지점이 감세블록의 최적 위치인 것으로 판단된다.

Object recognition is carried out using RGB images in various object recognition studies. However, RGB images in dark illumination environments or environments where target objects are occluded other objects cause poor object recognition performance. On the other hand, IR images provide strong object recognition performance in these environments because it detects infrared waves rather than visible illumination. In this paper, we propose an RGB-IR fusion model, high-frequency interchange network (HINet), which improves object recognition performance by combining only the strengths of RGB-IR image pairs. HINet connected two object detection models using a mutual high-frequency transfer (MHT) to interchange advantages between RGB-IR images. MHT converts each pair of RGB-IR images into a discrete cosine transform (DCT) spectrum domain to extract high-frequency information. The extracted high-frequency information is transmitted to each other's networks and utilized to improve object recognition performance. Experimental results show the superiority of the proposed network and present performance improvement of the multispectral object recognition task.

An analytical model of return flow is presented outside the surf zone. The governing equation is derived from the Navier-Stokes equation and the continuity. Each term of the governing equation is evaluated by the ordering analysis. Then the infinitesimal terms, i.e. the turbulent normal stress, the squared vertical velocity of water particle and the streaming velocity, are neglected. The driving forces of return flow are calculated using the linear wave theory for the shallow water approximation. Especially, the space derivative of local wave heights is described considering a shoaling coefficient. The vertical distribution of eddy viscosity is discussed to the customary types which are the constant, the linear function and the exponential function. Each coefficient of the eddy viscosities which sensitively affect the precision of solutions is uniquely decided from the additional boundary condition which the velocity becomes zero at the wave trough level. Also the boundary conditions at the bottom and the continuity relation are used in the integration of the governing equation. The theoretical solutions of present model are compared with the various experimental results. The solutions show a good agreement with the experimental results in the case of constant or exponential function type eddy viscosity.
