This study was performed to investigate the behaviour of root zone environments under the control of soil temperature and tension of soil moisture near the root Bone of 'Kyoho' grapes tree grown on restricted root zone system in plastic greenhouse. Maximum diurnal air temperature inside plastic greenhouse ranged between 25.1 and 32.7$^{\circ}C$, and the average of nocturnal air temperature inside plastic greenhouse maintained at 18$^{\circ}C$ in winter season. Also the minimum diurnal relative humidity ranged between 50 and 55%, and the maximum nocturnal relative humidity ranged between 84 to 87%. At a depth of 15cm from soil surface, the average soil temperature maintained at 25.6$^{\circ}C$ for under-ground heating, and appeared to 17.4$^{\circ}C$ for unheated condition. Although the tension of soil moisture just after irrigation sharply decreased to pF 1.5, the tension of soil moisture at the depth of 15cm maintained at pF 2.0~2.2. It is suggested that the tension of soil moisture at the depth of 15cm might be used as the standard for the determination of irrigation set point. Effective drainage system is needed to prevent the spindly and succulent growth of vine trees grown in restricted root zone system.

This study investigates the behavior of a jointless bridge that integrates superstructure and abutment without an expansion joint. Based on the sensitivity analyses conducted in previous studies, a shell-based model was determined to be the most suitable numerical analysis model for jointless bridges due to the similarity of the model's results compared with the obtained displacement shape, which was influenced by relative errors, precision, and practical aspects. Accordingly, the behavior of a jointless bridge was analyzed at various wall depths using shell element-based and solid element models. In addition, the results of MIDAS Civil and ABAQUS analysis programs were compared. In the case of semi-integrated bridges (A and B), the displacement decreased as the wall depth increased due to the ground reaction force in Case 1 under a linear spring condition and +30℃. In the case where temperature was -30℃, the change in displacement was small because the ground reaction did not occur. As for bridge C (a fully integrated alternating bridge) and bridge D (an integrated chest wall alternating bridge), the displacement decreased as the wall depth increased at both +30 and -30℃ due to pile resistance. As for the comparison between the analysis programs used, the relative error in Case 1 was small, whereas a significant difference in Case 2 was observed. The foregoing variation is possibly due to the difference in the application of the nonlinear spring in the programs.

Three-dimensional continuum modeling of dynamic soil-pile-structure interaction embedded in a liquefiable sand was carried out. Finn model which can model liquefaction behavior using effective stress method was adopted to simulate development of pore water pressure according to shear deformation of soil directly in real time. Finn model was incorporated into Non-linear elastic, Mohr-Coulomb plastic model. Calibration of proposed modeling method was performed by comparing the results with those of the centrifuge tests performed by Wilson (1998). Excess pore pressure ratio, pile bending moment, pile head displacement-time history according to depth calculated by numerical analysis agreed reasonably well with the test results. Validation of the proposed modeling method was later performed using another test case, and good agreement between the computed and measured values was observed.

The standard CPT(Cone Penetration Test), which can be easily performed to investigate in-situ soil engineering properties, has been widely used. CPT are also widely being utilized in centrifuge model tests. In this study, a miniature cone with 10mm diameter was developed and its applicability in the centrifuge was evaluated. The developed miniature cone was equipped with a four degree-of-freedom in-flight robot. A series of cone penetration tests was performed under four centrifuge acceleration levels. As results, the cone resistances measured at the same confining stress within shallow penetration depth were affected by the centrifugal accelerations. The critical depth was proportional to the cone diameter and relative density. Cone resistances results below the critical depth and soil parameters obtained from the laboratory tests were compared with those by previously proposed empirical relations.

Depth map is an image that contains distance information in 3D space on a 2D plane and is used in various 3D vision tasks. Many existing depth estimation studies mainly use narrow FoV images, in which a significant portion of the entire scene is lost. In this paper, we propose a technique for generating 360° omnidirectional RGBD images from a sparse set of narrow FoV images. The proposed generative adversarial network based image generation model estimates the relative FoV for the entire panoramic image from a small number of non-overlapping images and produces a 360° RGB and depth image simultaneously. In addition, it shows improved performance by configuring a network reflecting the spherical characteristics of the 360° image.

In this paper, monovision based relative navigation for a satellite proximity operation is studied. The chaser satellite only uses one camera sensor to observe the target satellite and conducts image tracking to obtain the target pose information. However, by using only mono-vision, it is hard to get the depth information which is related to the relative distance to the target. In order to resolve the well-known difficulty in computing the depth information with the use of a single camera, the active contour method is adopted for the image tracking process. The active contour method provides the size of target image, which can be utilized to indirectly calculate the relative distance between the chaser and the target. 3D virtual reality is used in order to model the space environment where two satellites make relative motion and produce the virtual camera images. The unscented Kalman filter is used for the chaser satellite to estimate the relative position of the target in the process of glideslope approaching. Closed-loop simulations are conducted to analyze the performance of the relative navigation with the active contour method.

We performed seismic imaging based on relative S-wave travel times to examine S-wave velocity of upper mantle structure beneath East Asia. We used teleseismic events recorded at 129 broadband stations of the Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM), Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA), and National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention (NIED). Relative travel time residuals were obtained by a multi-channel cross-correlation method designed to automatically determine accurate relative phase arrival times. The resulting images show high-velocity anomalies along plate boundaries around the Japanese islands region. These anomalies may indicate subducting Pacific and Philippine Sea plates. On the other hand, a low-velocity anomaly is revealed beneath east of the Korean peninsula down to around 300 km depth, which is thought to be related to the formation of the Ulleung basin and the Ulleung island. Low-velocity anomalies revealed beneath the Jeju island may imply that the formation and volcanism of the Jeju island have been caused by magmatic sources from the deep mantle.

목적 : 조사면 크기에 따른 금속쐐기와 가상쐐기에 의한 6 MV 와 15 MV 엑스선의 출력 및 상부와 하부 에 설치하는 금속쐐기의 출력을 비교하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 : Varian Clinac21EX(미국)는 두부의 상부와 하부에 설치하는 각각의 금속쐐기와 제한기에 의한 가상쐐기 기능을 가지고 있다. 금속쐐기의 쐐기각은 네 가지 (15$^{\circ}$, 30$^{\circ}$, 45$^{\circ}$, 60$^{\circ}$)이며 투과력에 무관하게 한 쐐기각에 대한 쐐기는 사하부는 각 1 개이고, 가상쐐기는 일곱 가지 ($10^{\circ}$, 15$^{\circ}$, 20$^{\circ}$, 25$^{\circ}$, 30$^{\circ}$, 45$^{\circ}$, 60$^{\circ}$) 이다. 각 쐐기에 대하여 3$\times$3～20$\times$20 $\textrm{cm}^2$ 의 조사면 크기에서 6 및 15 MV 엑스선의 쐐기출력인수 (wedge field output factor)를 $d_{max}$와 10 $\textrm{cm}^2$ 깊이에서 측정하였다. 조사면크기와 측정깊이에 따른 쐐기출력인수의 변화추이를 관찰하였다. 쐐기출력인수 O $F_{Wdg}$는 다음과 같다. O $F_{Wdg}$(r)= $D_{Wdg}$(r)/ $D_{op}$ ( $r_{0}$) 여기서 $r_{0}$와 r은 각각 민조사면의 기준조사면크기, 쐐기조사면크기이다. 하부쐐기에 대한 상부쐐기의 출력인수의 상대적인 백분율 차이, %ROD=l00$\times$(O $F_{upWdg}$/O $F_{lowWdg}$ lowWdg/ - 1)를 구하였다. 조사면크기와 깊이에 따른 %ROD의 변화추이를 평가하였으며 쐐기 각각에 대하여 출력인수를 측정해야하는지 평가하였다. 결과 : 금속쐐기에 대한 쐐기출력인수는 방사선의 투과력과 깊이에 관계없이 조사면 크기가 커짐에 따라 증가하였으나 가상쐐기의 쐐기출력인수는 쐐기각이 작은 경우에는 조사면크기가 커짐에 따라 증가하다가 감소하였으며 최대값을 보이는 조사면크기는 쐐기각이 커짐에 반하여 감소하였으며 투과력에 관계없이 60。 쐐기에 대해서는 조사면 크기가 4 cm(A/P=1) 이상에서 조사면크기가 커짐에 따라 감소하였다. 6 MV 엑스선 에 대한 10 cm 깊이에서 15。 쐐기와 15 MV 엑스선에 대한 10 cm 깊이에서 45。 쐐기의 A/P 가 1.5보다 작은 조사면을 제외하고는 조사면의 크기가 커짐에 따라 %ROD는 감소하였다. $d_{max}$에서는 15。 쐐기와 30。 쐐기에 대해서는 %ROD가 음수였으며 절대값이 증가하였다. 이는 곧 조사면의 크기가 커짐에 따라 상부쐐기의 쐐기출력계수가 하부쐐기와 접근하고 드디어는 상부쐐기의 출력인수가 하부쐐기의 출력인수보다 작아질 수도 있다는 것을 의미하고 있다. 또한 %ROD 는 쐐기각이 클수록 변화가 컸으며, 조사면 크기가 커짐에 따라 10 cm 깊이에서보다 $d_{max}$에서 더 급하게 감소하였다. %ROD 는 6 MV 엑스선에 대해서는 -0.52～4.18 % 였고, 15 MV 엑스선에 대해서는 -0.44-4.18 % 였다. 결론 : 두 가지 투과력의 엑스선이 방출되는 선형가속기의 상하부 쐐기와 가상쐐기의 출력인수를 측정하여 비교하였다. 결과에서 얻어진 결론은 아래와 같다. 1. 조사면의 크기가 커짐에 따라 금속쐐기의 출력계수 는 증가하였으나 가상쐐기의 경우는 증가하다가 감소하거나 큰 쐐기각에 대해서는 감소만 하였다. 2. 상부쐐 기와 하부쐐기는 쐐기출력인수가 4% 이상 차이가 날 수 있으므로 독립적으로 측정하여 이용하여야 할 것이다.것이다.다.

Distortion of Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry(SIMS) depth profile, which is usually observed when the analysis is made using oxygen flooding on the surface of Si with oxide on it, has been corrected. The origin of distortion has been attributed to depth calibration error due to sputter rate difference and concentration calibration error due to relative sensitivity factor(RSF) difference between $SiO_2$ and Si layers, In order to correct depth calibration error, artifact in analysis of sodium ion on oxide was used to define the interface in SIMS depth profile and oxide thickness was measured with SEM and XPS. The differences of sputter rate and RSF between two layers have been attributed to volume swelling of Si substrate occurred by oxygen flooding induced oxidation. The corrected SIMS depth profiles showed almost the same results with those obtained without oxygen flooding.

Distributed-type railguns are designed to maintain the armature current and the length between the armature and the current-feed region nearly constant with time. This paper deals with factors affecting current distribution, effective resistance and effective skin depth in the rail of a distributed-type railgun. Analytical solutions for the current distributions and resistance in the rail are presented for a simple two-dimensional model under steady-state contions. For diffusion limited current, it is found that effective rail resistance is proportional to the square root of the relative velocity, the permeability of the rail and the length between the armature and that effective skin depth of the rail is proportional to the square root of the length and inversely proportional to the square root of the permeability, the conductivity and the velocity.
