Based on Model Code 2010, flexural and residual strength, flexural toughness of SFRC with design strength of 60 MPa are evaluated. For comparisons, SFRC with design strength 40 MPa was tested. Distribution of steel fibers in crack surface of specimens was evaluated by visual inspection. The used steel fibers were hooked fibers with aspect ratio of 64, 67 and 80. In all specimens, mix ratio of steel fibers was 0.5% Vol. In results, only SFRC with the highest aspect ratio satisfied requirements specified in Model Code 2010. The results demonstrated that the use of high aspect ratio will provide enough flexural toughness for high strength concrete. Also, it is found that low slump of high strength concrete can help to enhance isotropic fiber distribution.

이미지 압축을 위한 새로운 기법 중의 하나가 웨이블릿 변환이다. 웨이블릿 변환된 이미지는 이미지 전체의 중요 정보가 한쪽으로 치우치는 경향을 보인다. 그러므로 웨이블 이미지를 순차적으로 네트웍상에 전송한다면 중요 정보가 포함된 패킷에 손실이 발생할 경우 이미지의 품질에 치명적인 영향을 미친다. 본 논문에서는 전송된 웨이블릿 이미지의 품질을 보장하기 위한 새로운 패킷타이징 기법을 제안한다. 즉 주파수 부대역(frequency subband)을 여러 개의 블록으로 나누고, 이 블록들을 서로 다른 패킷에 삽입하여 패킷의 중요도를 분산하는 것이다. 또한 주파수대역이 가장 낮은 부대역 정보를 중복하여 전송함으로써 이미지 전체의 품질을 보장한다. 제안된 기법의 성능을 평가하기 위해 객관적인 성능평가 단위인 PSNR과 주관적인 이미지 분석을 수행하였다. 실험결과 제안된 기법의 성능이 순차적인 블록 패킷 기법에 비하여 PSNR에서 1～4 ㏈ 높았으며, 이미지의 선명도도 높음을 알 수 있었다.

150~7,000Hzd의 확대역 전화를 위한 전화 전송특성 설계지침으로 활용하기 위해, 확대역과 300~3400Hz 의 협대역 전화에 대한 통화품질 평가결과를 비교/분석하였다. 토화품질 평가는, 조정법에 의한 선호 라우드니스 레벨고 ㅏ동가 라우드니스 레벨 조정실험, 그리고 단음절 명료도평가로 구성되었다. 선호 라우드니스 레벨 조정실험의 결과, 협대역과 확대역 음성에 대한 피험자의 선호레벨이 각각 70.7dB 및 68.6dB로 약 2dB의 차이를, 피험자간 분산은 2.12와 6.11로 의미있는 차이를 보였는데, 이것은 음성대역의 확장에 따라 사용자들의분산이 크기 때문에 확대역 전화에서 수화음량 조절기능이 필요함을 증명한 결과이다. 그리고, 협/확대역 조건에서의 100개 단음절에 대한 명료도 실험 결과에서, 전체 명료도 점수간에는 통계적으로 의미있는 차이를 보이지 않았지만 단음절중 3,400Hz이상에서 많은 에너지를 갖는, 파열음 'ㅌ', 파찰음 'ㅈ', 'ㅉ', 'ㅊ', 그리고 마찰음 'ㅅ', 'ㅆ' 으로 시작하는 20개 단음절에 대한 부분명료도에 있어서 협대역과 확대역 조건간에 20%의 명료도 차이를 나타내었다. 또한, 비교 라우드니스 레벨 조정실험의 결과, 협대역과 확대역 사이의 평균 라우드니스 레벨 차이가 약 3.4dB (A)로 나타났는데, 이 결과는 국내 확대역 전화의 수화음량적격 설정에 지침으로 활용할 것이다.

In this paper an improvement is made on the function point moedl,one of sortware size dstimation model,for better fesibility with increased accuracy as my proposed moedl.For better feasibility seven function typcs are proposed in this model and technical complexity factors are used to assecss the diffculties of considering technical and distributed enviroment attributes.To assess the creditability of the proposed model,24-software develop-ment cases were cinsidered in the regression model with the actual require efforts as the total function points. As seen in the statistical results,the proposed model is at least as superior to the known function point models.

In this study, the composite membranes prepared by sulfonated graphene oxide (sGO) and Nafion were developed as proton exchange membranes (PEMs) for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). The sGO/Nafion composite membranes were prepared by mixing Nafion solution with the sGO dispersed in a binary solvent system to improve dispersity of sGO. The composite membranes were investigated in terms of ionic conductivity, ion exchange capacity (IEC), FT-IR, TGA and SEM, etc. As a result, the binary solvent system, i.e., ortho-dichlorobenzene (ODB) and N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc), were used to obtain high dispersion of sGO particles in Nafion solution, and the ionic conductivity of the sGO/Nafion composite membrane showed $0.06Scm^{-1}$ similar to other research results at lower water uptake, 11 wt%.

3D printing is one of the emerging technologies and getting a lot of attention. To do 3D printing, 3D model is first generated, and then converted to G-code which is 3D printer's operations. Facet, which is a small triangle, represents a small surface of 3D model. Depending on the height or precision of the 3D model, the number of facets becomes very large and so the conversion time from 3D model to G-code takes longer. Apach Hadoop is a software framework to support distributed processing for large data set and its application range gets widening. In this paper, Hadoop is used to do the conversion works time-efficient way. 2-phase distributed algorithm is developed first. In the algorithm, all facets are sorted according to its lowest Z-value, divided into N parts, and converted on several nodes independently. The algorithm is implemented in four steps; preprocessing - Map - Shuffling - Reduce of Hadoop. Finally, to show the performance evaluation, Hadoop systems are set up and converts testing 3D model while changing the height or precision.

In a distributed processing environment composed of many independent systems connected by networks, it is very important and difficult to make time synchronization between the systems. Especially in the USN environment the time synchronization is still more difficult than in general distributed processing environment because energy is limited and communication function is feeble. Even though of these difficulties, the USN environment requires higher precision of time synchronization. We of the typical applications requesting very strict time synchronization in USN is TDMA MAC. This paper proposes and evaluates a new time synchronization protocol HTSP(Hierarchical Time Synchronization Protocol) which is an advanced version of the FTSP(Flooding Time Synchronization Protocol) published recently. The time synchronization precision of the HTSP is equal to that of the FTSP, but the energy consumption of the HTSP is lower than that of the FTSP owing to the reduced number of broadcast messages. The simulation results show that the energy consumption of the HTSP is only 74% of that of the FTSP.

The purpose of this study is to describe the Non-Destructive Testing(NDT) of the rockbolt and investigate the applicability of the NDT methods to estimate the integrity of the rockbolt. To examine the rockbolt integrity including rockbolt itself and grouting material, two methods are adopted: numerical and experimental methods. In the numerical method, the numerical code DISPERSE is used to analyze the dispersion of the rockbolt. The dispersion curve shows the effects of the thickness and stiffness of grouted materials on the embedded rockbolt. Therefore, the optimal frequency for the integrity test of the rockbolt is obtained: 20~120kHz in L(1,0) mode. In the experimental methods, destructive and non-destructive tests are carried out in a laboratory. In the non-destructive test, the low frequency mode generated by an impact and t he high frequency mode generated by an ultrasonic transducer seem to characterize the rockbolt condition readily. The experimental results show that the guided waves attenuate more significantly when the stiffness of the grouted material increases and/or the zone of the defect increases. Meanwhile, the ultimate capacity of rockbolt was evaluated through the pull-out tests and is compared to the NDT results. This study demonstrates that the NDT is a valuable tool for the rockbolt integrity evaluation.

Graphene oxide (GO), known for its high stiffness, thermal conductivity, and electrical conductivity, is being utilized as a reinforcement in nanocomposite materials. This study evaluates the mechanical properties of epoxy nanocomposites incorporating GO and edge modified GO (E-GO), which has hydroxyl groups substituted only on its edges. GO/E-GO was uniformly dispersed in epoxy resin using ultrasonic dispersion, and mechanical properties were assessed through tensile testing. The results showed that the addition of nanoparticles increased both tensile strength and toughness. The tensile strength of the epoxy without nanoparticles was 74.4 MPa, while the highest tensile strength of 90.7 MPa was observed with 0.3 wt% E-GO. Additionally, the modulus increased from 2.55 GPa to 3.53 GPa with the addition of nanoparticles. Field emission scanning electron microscopy of the fracture surface revealed that the growth of cracks was impeded by the nanoparticles, preventing complete fracture and causing the cracks to split in multiple directions. E-GO, with surface treatment only on the edges, exhibited higher mechanical properties than GO due to its superior dispersion and surface treatment effects. These results highlight the importance of nanoparticle surface treatment in developing high-performance nanocomposite materials.

In this paper we suggest optimal positioning algorithm for DER(distributed energy resource)s near ocean side by using Newton-Rhapson load flow calculation. By installing DERs within urban area, electric power can be effectively transmitted to each loads without constructing additional large scale power stations and transmission lines. Therefore, DERs have attracted worldwide attention as urban area energy sources. However, there are quite a few studies for estimation of power loss due to DERs' location change within urban area Hence, in this study, an optimal positioning scheme for DERs is proposed in order to minimizing electrical power loss.
