The exact information on geological structures and characteristics of the subsurface must be acquired to secure quality and safety of constructions. GPR technique, one of the most updated geophysical methods, is known for its applicability to shallow-depth underground surveys. The purpose of this study is to examine the usefulness of GPR method in constructions for detailed subsurface investigations, especially detecting the boundary between basement rock and its overburden. To find appropriate depths of the geological boundaries, it is necessary to obtain velocity of electromagnetic wave propagating into the ground. Wave velocity 0.096 m/ns estimated from velocity analysis using CMP gathers is used for depth conversion from time section. The depths of geological boundaries from GPR profiles are very well correlated with boring data. In addition, GPR survey has found some undulations of the geological boundaries due to weathering, which cannot be provided by conventional coring approaches.

A new surface reconstruction scheme for approximating the surface from a set of unorganized 3D points is proposed. Our method, called shrink-wrapped boundary face (SWBF) algorithm, produces the final surface by iteratively shrinking the initial mesh generated from the definition of the boundary faces. Proposed method surmounts the genus-0 spherical topology restriction of previous shrink-wrapping based mesh generation technique, and can be applicable to any kind of surface topology. Furthermore, SWBF is much faster than the previous one since it requires only local nearest-point-search in the shrinking process. According to experiments, it is proved to be very robust and efficient for mesh generation from unorganized points cloud.

One of the major difficulties in the seismic analysis of a dam-reservoir system is the treatment of the energy radiation in the upstream direction of the reservoir. In the paper, a new transmitting boundary is presented that can model properly the radiation of energy in the far field direction of a semi-infinite reservoir with constant depth. In the newly developed method, effects of surface wave motion are taken into accounted and the reservoir-foundation interaction is approximately accounted for with an absorbing boundary condition. If a dam has vertical upstream face and the infinitely long reservoir maintains constant depth, then the proposed transmitting boundary can be directly coupled with the model of dam body. In present study, the dam body is assumed to behave elastically and modeled by finite element method. Seismic responses of a dam model are investigated using the newly developed transmitting boundary.

운모기판에 증착한 비정형 셀레니움 박막의 결정성장의 형태와 그 변태속도에 대하여 연구하였다 열처리된 박막에서 비정질성분은 CS2에 용해되나 결정질은 아무 변화없이 남아 있으므로 쉽게 현미경을 이용하여 그 모양을 조사할 수 있다. 결정은 (30$^{\circ}$~10$0^{\circ}C$ 온도 범위에서) 박막과 운모기관의 경계면을 따라서 원형상(구상 결정의 이차원 적 모양) 중심으로 부터 일정 속도로 자란다. 또한 필라멘트 형태의 결정이 원형상 결정의 비 규칙적인 부분에서 박막을 뚫고 위로 자란다. 이들 필라멘트형 결정은 자유표면에 도달하여 새로이 자유표면을 따라서 원형상으로 자라게 된다. 경계에 있는 원형상 결정의 두께는 약 500$\AA$정도이고 이것이 비정질 세레니움 박막에서 보이는 "어두어 지는" 현상의 원인이 되고 있음이 밝혀졌다. 원형상 결정은 아주 조그마한 결정 "도메인"으로 구성되어 있으며 이들 "도메인"의 축 방향은 경계면과 나란하고 반경방향에 수직으로 되어 있다. 고온처리에서 얻어지는 규칙적인 결정은 이들 "도메인"이 모여서 "라멜라"를 형성하여 중심부에서부터 뻗어나가고 이들 "라멜라"간의 공간은 불규칙적으로 나열된 "도메인"으로 연결되어 있으며, 고분자 결정에 비하여 훨씬 두껍다. 반경 방향으로의 결정성장 속도는 아주 순도가 높은 박막에서는 시간에 따라 일정하고 주어진 온도에서 재현성이 아주 좋다. 이 실험에서 측정된 성장속도는 지금까지 발표된 어느 실험에서 관측된 것보다 빠르고 또 자유표면에서 자라는 속도에 비해서 약 백 여배나 빠르다. 결장 성장의 온도 의존은 u=6$\times$1015 exp[-32.7(kcal/mol)/RT] cm/sec로 표시할 수 있다.

The main object of this study is to analyze mechanical behaviors as anisotropic three-dimensional body under various static loads. This paper presents the applicability of the finite difference method to three dimensional problem of anisotropic body. The finite difference method as applied here is generalized to anisotropic three-dimensional problem of elastic body where the governing differential equations of equilibrium of such bodies are expressed in terms of the displacement u, v, and w in the coordinates axes x, y and z, care being taken to modify the finite difference expressions to satisfy the appropriate boundary conditions. By adopting a new three dimensional finite difference modelling including elimination of pivotal difference points in the case of free boundary condition, the three dimensional problem of anisotropic body was successfully completed. Several numerical results show quick convergence and numerical validity of finite difference technique in three dimensional problem.

We present a simple new idea to improve the quality of exemplar based texture synthesis using multiple rotated input exemplars. Our algorithm successfully obtain rotational synthesis feature variations and manages to reduce the artifacts in the results, especially patch seams due to the structure of the exemplars provided which have been inappropriate for previous neighborhood matching synthesis algorithms. Our algorithm is parallel in nature, thus it is possible to implement our algorithm using GPU or multi-core CPU to accelerate synthesis process.

A numerical model using Hybrid Element Method(HEM) is presented for the prediction of wave agitations in a harbor which are induced by the intrusion and transformation of incident short-period waves. A linear mild-slope equation including bottom friction is used as the governing equation and a partial absorbing boundary condition is used on solid boundaries. Functional derived in the present paper is based on the Chen and Mei(1974)'s concept which uses finite element net in the inner region and analytical solution of Helmholtz equation in the outer region. Final simultaneous equations are solved using the Gaussian Elimination Method. The model appears to be reasonably good from the comparison of numerical calculation with hydraulic experimental results of short-wave diffraction through a breakwater gap(Pos and Kilner, 1987). The problem of requring large computational memory could be overcome using 8-noded isoparametric elements.

A steady-state analytical model was presented for a loop heat pipe (LHP) with an evaporator that has a flat geometry. On the basis of a series of reviews of the relevant literature, a sequence of calculations was proposed to predict the temperatures and pressures at each important part of the LHP: the evaporator, liquid reservoir (compensation chamber), liquid line, vapor line, and condenser. The analysis of the evaporator, which is the only part in the LHP that has a capillary structure, was emphasized. Thin-film theory is applied to account for the pressure and temperature in the region adjacent to the liquid-vapor interface in the evaporator. The present study introduced a unique method to estimate the liquid temperature at the interface. Relative freedom was assumed in the configuration of a condenser with a simplified liquid-vapor interface. Our steady-state model was validated by experimental results available in the literature. The relative error was within 3% on the absolute temperature scale, and reasonable agreement was obtained.

As a pre processing for an edge detection process. edge preserving smoothing algorithm is proposed. For this purpose we used the interpolation method using B-spline basis function and scaling of digital images. By approximation of continuous function from descrete data using B-spline basis function. undetermined data between two sample can be computed. so that they smooth the surfaces of objects. Some edges having mainly low frequency components are detected using down scaling of the images. Edge maps from proposed pre processed images are hardly affected by the varying space constants($\sigma$) and threshold values used in detecting zero-crossing.

Block based transform coding is most popular approach for image and video compression. However it suffers from severe quality degradation especially from blocking artifacts. The subjective quality degradation caused by such blocking artifacts in general does not agree well with an objecive quality measurement such as PSNR. Hence new quality evaluation technique is necessary. We propose a new image quality assessment method by measuring blocking artifacts for block based transform coded images. In order to characterize blocking artifacts, proposed method utilizes the facts that, blocking artifacts, when occur, have different pixel values along the block boundaries and such differences usually continuously span along the whole boundaries. This method does not require the original uncompressed image. It operates on single block boundary and quantifies the amount of blocking artifacts on it. Experiments on various compressed images various bitrates show that proposed quantitative measure of blocking artifacts matches well with the subjective quality of them judged by human visual system.
