In this paper, we present the newly developed propagation toss model of a long range maritime communication channel, measured by a ground to air flight test, and discuss its validity compared with the predictive value based on the spherical earth reflection model. To measure the propagation loss, actual flight test was performed in the Yellow Sea and the measurement of receiving signal strength was made for overall test range. As far as the test condition is concerned, it is expected that the receiving signal strength must be interfered with the reflected wave by an island existing around the reflection point. Therefore we introduce some modifications on the conventional spherical earth reflection model by including the effect due to the reflected wave from the island. And then, we compare the path loss measured by flight test with that one analyzed by the spherical earth reflection model accounting for reflected wave of the island. As a result of the comparison, it is verified to predict the path loss accurately by the spherical earth reflection model including the effect due to the reflected wave from an island for a long range ground to air communication.

Via terahertz (THz) reflection radar, the characterizations of reflected THz electromagnetic pulses are reported. Quasi-optical techniques are used to efficiently reflect pulses of THz electromagnetic radiation from an aluminum mirror and several conducting and nonconducting materials. An incident THz pulse is reflected up to 9 times to know the magnitude change of a reflected pulse from the aluminum mirror. Using this method, aluminum board, undoped silicon, quartz, and LDPE samples' reflection coefficient and index of refraction can be measured. These results suggest a possible application of transient THz reflection spectroscopy without surface contact.ontact.

Neutron reflecting effects in terms of effective multiplication factor have been calculated with varying water or concrete thickness, and gap distance between concrete reflector and a fissile solution system. A numerical calculation of effective multiplication factors has been carried out by using the discrete ordinates method with the help of the computer code, ANISN. It is revealed that the reflecting .effect by thin concrete is lower than that of the identical thickness of water while the effect by thick water is low compared to that of the identical thickness of concrete. It seems that the effective multiplication factors are first decreasing rapidly with gap distance, which is filled with water, between concrete reflector and the fissile solution system, and then decrease slowly over the distance of about 15cm.

This study presents a combined experimental and numerical effort to investigate experimentally and numerically the Bragg reflection of sinusoidal waves due to trapezoidal submerged porous breakwaters. Numerical predictions of the study are verified by comparing to laboratory measurements. In the numerical model, the flow in porous structures is described by the spatially averaged Navier-Stokes equations and the volume of fluid method is employed to track the free surface displacements. Numerical solutions are agree well with laboratory measurements. The reflection coefficients of porous structures are smaller than those of non-porous structures and become stronger in proportion to the increase of number of submerged breakwaters.

The transmission of vibration energy through beam-plate junctions in vibration intensity analysis called power new analysis (PFA) has been studied. PFA is an analytic tool for the prediction of frequency averaged vibration response of built-up structures at medium to high frequency ranges. The power transmission and reflection coefficients between the semi-infinite beam and plate are estimated using the wave transmission approach. For the application of the power coefficients to practical complex structures, the numerical methods, such as finite element method are needed to be adapted to the power flow governing equation. To solve the discontinuity of energy density at the joint, joint matrix is developed using energy flow coupling relationships at the beam-plate joint. Using the joint matrix developed in this paper, an idealized ship stem part is modeled with finite element program, and vibration energy density and intensity are calculated.

In this paper, the problem of electromagnetic coupling between a slit fed by a flanged parallel-plate waveguide (FPPW) and a nearby conducting strip parallel to the slit is studied as a simplified problem for a near-field scanning microscopy (NSM). The characteristics of the FPPW are investigated from the results for the variations of the equivalent slit admittance, the reactive powers near the slit inside and outside the FPPW, the magnitude and phase of the voltage reflection coefficient of the TEM wave. The performance of the proposed apparatus as an NSM is tested by examining the effects of various geometrical parameters such as guide height, slit width, strip width, distance between slit and strip, and the ratio of slit width to guide height on the magnitude and phase of the voltage reflection coefficient of the TEM wave. From the results for the voltage reflection coefficient against the strip offset from the slit, it is found that a slit in the FPPW with smaller guide height gives higher scanning resolution and the phase variation is more sensitive than the magnitude variation.

도로 조명에 있어서 질적인 평가 기준으로서 중요한 위치를 차지하고 있는 휘도 개념은 노면의 반사 특성에 따라 크게 좌우된다. 또한 노면의 반사 특성은 도로가 설치된 이후로부터의 시간, 날씨의 변화, 주어진 구간 내에서의 교통량 등에 의한 노면 재질의 마모 상태에 따라서 복합적으로 변화한다. 그러므로 도로 조명의 설치에 있어서 노면 반사 특성의 측정은 매우 중요할 뿐만 아니라 국내 도로 조명 설비의 휘도 기준을 상정하는데 있어서도 매우 중요하다. 이에 따라서 일반적으로 국내에서 사용되는 4가지의 도로 포장 시료인 콘크리트 도로 샘플, SMA(Stone Matrix Asphalt), 투수성, 밀입도 도로 샘플을 취하여 그 특성을 파악하고 반사 특성에 대한 초기값을 측정하였으며 각 샘플들에 대한 재질의 마모 상태에 대하여 반사 특성의 변화를 각각 측정하였다. 또한 그 측정한 값들을 각각 분석하고 재질의 마모에 따른 평균 휘도 계수 Q0, 정반사 인자 S1, S2값의 변화를 그래프로 제시하였다.

노면표시는 운전자에게 시선유도와 각종 규제 및 지시에 대한 정보를 제공함으로써 교통안전 및 소통에 도움을 주는 시설로써 주야간의 시인성 확보가 중요하며 이를 위해서는 반사화가 필요하다. 노면표시의 반사성능은 유리알 (Glass Bead)의 함량 및 종류, 용융온도, 도료의 색도등 각 영향인자에 의해 결정되지만 현재는 시공법 및 관련 연구의 미흡으로 현행기준의 최하수준을 상회하는 정도로 제공되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 노면표시의 시공에 관계되는 각 요인중 반사성능가 내구성에 영향을 미치는 주요인자 및 반사성능을 최적화하기 위한 인자별 최적조합을 도출하였다. 연구결과 유리알 살포량이 중량비로 25%-30%, 용융시 온도가 $188^{\circ}C$$\pm$$10^{\circ}C$일 때 노면표면시의 반사성능이 최적화됨을 밝혀내었다. 또한 유리알의 품질개선과 함께 황색 노면표시의 재귀반사 휘도계수 기준을 현재 기준보다 상향조정할 필요성이 있음을 제안하였다.

In general, a color of an image is represented by using red, green, and blue channels in a RGB camera system. However, only information of three channels are limited to estimate a spectral reflectance of a real scene. Because of this, the RGB camera system can not accurately represent the color. To overcome this limitation and represent an accurate color, researches to estimate the spectral reflectance by using a multi-channel camera system are being actively proceeded. Recently, a reflectance estimation method adaptively constructing a similar training set from a traditional training set according to a camera response by using a spectral similarity was introduced. However, in this method, an accuracy of the similar training set is reduced because the spectral similarity based on an average and a maximum distances was applied. In this paper, a reflectance estimation method applied a spectral similarity based on a correlation coefficient is proposed to improve the accuracy of the similar training set. Firstly, the correlation coefficient between the similar training set and the spectral reflectance obtained by Wiener estimation method is calculated. Secondly, the similar training set is constructed from the traditional training set according to the correlation coefficient. Finally, Wiener estimation method applied the similar training set is performed to estimate the spectral reflectance. To evaluate a performance of the proposed method with previous methods, experimental results are compared. As a result, the proposed method showed the best performance.

Materials exposed to outside will deteriorate due to various weathering factors such as sunlight, heat, temperature, humidity and so on. Therefore, predicting speed of degradation and life time is a very important issue. This research uses retro-reflective sheets with white and green which are most commonly used colors to conduct the outdoor exposure test and acceleration test of xenon arc in Arizona state in the United States, Chennai in India, Sanary in France and Seosan in Korea to measure the reflective performance of retro-reflection. The accelerated factor was obtained by using regression analysis through reflective values obtained from the acceleration test of xenon arc from Seosan area. Also, by using solar uv program, the accelerated factor of various climate regions were obtained and it was confirmed that the accelerated factor of Senary was 1.04, Arizona 1.82, Chennai 1.92 times higher than that of Seosan.
