Purpose: To find an empirical fitting curve to represent the relationship between the luminous transmittance and tinted time in tinted lenses using exponential decay curves. Methods: Total ninety tinted lenses were prepared with CR-39 lenses and six different colored dyes. Single, double and triple exponential decay curves were used as trial curves in order to find the empirical fitting curve. Result: The results showed that the best empirical fitting curve was triple exponential decay curves. Conclusions: We propose triple exponential decay curves as proper empirical fitting curves to represent the tinted-time dependence of the luminous transmittance in tinted lenses.

The influence of Soil-Water Characteristic Curve (SWCC) fitting parameters for an unsaturated natural slope was evaluated through seepage and slope stability analysis as a function of rainfall. Soil samples were collected from the study area in Jirisan National Park and the physical and mechanical characteristics of unsaturated soil layers were measured in laboratory tests. The saturation depth was calculated via seepage analysis by changing fitting parameters α, the parameter related to the Air Entry Value (AEV) and n, the parameter related to the slope of the SWCC in the range of natural conditions. Slope stability analysis using the limit equilibrium method considered the calculated depth of saturation. Results from seepage analysis for various rainfall conditions indicate the saturation depth in the soil layer suddenly increased as the fitting parameter α decreased; the saturation time for the entire soil layer also decreased. Slope stability analysis considering the calculated depth of saturation shows that the slope safety factor rapidly decreased as the fitting parameter α decreased, whereas the variation in slope safety factor was very small when n increased. Hence, fitting parameter α has a large effect on saturation depth during rainfall and therefore on slope stability, whereas slope stability is relatively unaffected by the fitting parameter n.

We have obtained optical constants for cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) films by fitting theoretical spectra of transmittance and reflectance with measured ones. Berreman's 4${\times}$4 matrix approach was used for the calculation of theoretical spectra. The fitting method was applied to three samples with different reflection bands and fitted results of refractive indices for CLC samples were compared with measured ones for a parallel-aligned LC sample. It was found that the two results were in fairly good agreement within the error of the fitted results for the three CLC samples.

Purpose: To study the concentration distribution and diffusion depth in tinted lenses using the law of diffusion. Methods: The measured values taken from experiments were fitted with the theoretical fitting curve induced on the basis of Fick's second law of diffusion. Results: The fitting curves were in very good agreement with the measured values. As the results, we found the quantitative relationship between mass of dye solution diffused into the tinted lens per unit area and dyeing time, and evaluated concentration distribution of dye in tinted lens, diffusion depth, etc. Conclusions: The dyeing mechanism of tinted lenses can be well described by diffusion theory.

A new computational algorithm is presented for the peak point detection of white light interferograms. Assuming the visibility function of white light interferograms as a quadratic polynomial, the peak point is searched so as to minimize the error sum between the measured intensity data and the analytical intensity. As compared with other existing algorithms, this new algorithm requires less computation since the peak point is simply determined with a single step matrix multiplication. In addition, a good robustness is obtained against external random disturbances on measured intensities since the algorithm is based upon least squares principles.

The picosecond time resolved fluorescence spectra of Hematoporphyrin Derivative (HPD) in both solutions and cancer cell are measured by a time correlated single photon counting system with a synchronously mode locked dye laser. Two exoponential decay components in the fluorescence spectra were observed. The slow decay(6.3 ㎱)and the fast one(350 ㎰)are attributed to be originated from monomers and dimers, respectively. The absorption and fluorescence measurements in steady state also showed the presence of a monomeric and dimeric forms of HPD molecules. The monomer lifetime in the cancer cell was measured to be longer than that in solution, which was expected from the blue shift and narrowing of the absorption spectra for HPD-treated in vitro. The relative amplitude of the fast component was found to be enhanced in cancer cell, strongly indicating the higher affinity of the dimer for the cancer cell.

A broadband CARS system is constructed for shot by shot measurement of a full CARS spectrum, which consists of a frequency doubled Nd:Yag laser, broadband mode-less laser and optical multi-channel analyzer installed in a double grating monochromator. To increase the accuracy of CARS temperature measurement and get better the fitting goodness, we have measured the slit function of the detection system and determined the analytical functional form of the slit function. Accuracy of the CARS system for temperature measurement is evaluated from the difference between the best-fit temperature of CARS spectrum and temperature of thermocouple reading. The uncertainty of the temperature measurement is found to be less than 1.5% in temperature range from 300 K to 1300 K.

As the number of using road in Korea increases, maintenance costs and traffic congestion costs also increase. In order to reduce maintenance cost and time of road, existing long - lived modular road system has been proposed. In this study, the design and performance evaluation of the adaptable support module, which is the substructure of the proposed system, was performed. Two adaptable (Cross-Beam type)support modules were designed and fabricated to determine the load and shape. A adaptable support module was constructed and a static load test was carried out to select the type with better performance. As a result of the load test, the maximum value of the measured earth pressure difference is about 158 kPa and the settlement amount is about 0.032 mm in the two types of adaptable support modules. Based on these results, it is concluded that the performance of the adaptable support module of the bottom curved cross-beam type is better.

Several damping materials have been employed to reduce the vibration of structures. While it is important to estimate the damping matrix when analyzing damped composite structures using the finite element method (FEM), at present, there is no FEM program that can correctly estimate the damping matrix. In this paper, a new global curve-fitting method is proposed for identifying the system parameters of non-proportional damping structures using a frequency response function. An experimental test for a cantilever beam attached damping material was carried out to verify the performance of the method proposed in this study.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to assess the relationship between the time spent designing custom abutments and repeated learning using dental implant computer aided design (CAD) software. Materials and Methods: The design of customized abutments was performed four stages using the 3DS CAD software and the EXO CAD software, and measured repeatedly three times by each stage. Learning effect by repetition was presented with the learning curve, and the significance of the reduction in the total time and the time at each stage spent on designing was evaluated using the Friedman test and the Wilcoxon signed rank test. The difference in the design time between groups was analyzed using the repeated measure two-way ANOVA. Statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS statistics software (P < 0.05). Results: Repeated learning of the customized abutment design displayed a significant difference according to the number of repetition and the stage (P < 0.001). The difference in the time spent designing was found to be significant (P < 0.001), and that between the CAD software programs was also significant (P = 0.006). Conclusion: Repeated learning of CAD software shortened the time spent designing. While less design time on average was spent with the 3DS CAD than with the EXO CAD, the EXO CAD showed better results in terms of learning rate according to learning effect.
