Platinum nanoparticles were added to a mixture of HEMA (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate), NVP (N-vinyl pyrrolidone) and MMA (methyl methacrylate) in a mould at various concentrations. The resulting mixture was copolymerized by heating at $70^{\circ}C$ for 40 min, $80^{\circ}C$ for 40 min, and $100^{\circ}C$ for 40 min, respectively. The physical properties of contact lens were then measured. The oxygen transmissibility of $9{\sim}15{\times}10^{-9}$ cm/s mL $O_2$/mL ${\times}$ mmHg, water content of 34.22~35.52%, refractive index of 1.432~1.435, visible transmittance of 88.3~91.2% and tensile strength of 0.141~0.152 kgf were obtained. The addition of platinum nanoparticles to the polymer allowed the contact lens to have various colors without artificial coloring agents. The polymer materials satisfied the physical properties required to produce contact lenses, making the material suitable to be applied as a functional material for ophthalmological purposes.

In this paper a low-power DWT(Discrete Wavelet Transform) design technique is proposed. As basic low-pass filter for analysis bank, comb filter is utilized, and in order to improve frequency response for the comb filter, a fourth order polynomial is also proposed. Another filters are designed by using perfect reconstruction conditions. The lowpass filter coefficients of the analysis filter bank are optimized based on the cost function and perfect reconstruction condition. The number of the multiplications and MSE(Mean Squared Error) performance of the proposed DWT filter bank are compared with those of the JPEG2000 (9, 7) filter bank. It is shown that number of multiplications of the proposed filter bank are saved with 33.3%, and MSE values of the proposed filter bank are also superior to those of the JPEG2000 (9, 7) filter bank.

The synthesis of $Sr_{1-x}Eu_xAl_2O_4$ (x=0.005~0.2;mol%) phosphors and its properties of both photoluminescence and long-phosphorescent were investigated as a function of $Eu_2O_3$ composition. The peak wavelengths (520 nm) of phosphorescence spectra were found not to vary with the $Eu_2O_3$ composition (x) of $Sr_{1-x}Eu_xAl_2O_4$ crystals. Single phase of $SrAl_2O_4$ which determined by XRD and PL was obtained with the compositions of x<0.05 mol%. After the removal of light excitation (360 nm), the excellent after-glow characteristics of the phosphorescence were obtained with the $Eu_2O_3$ compositions of x<0.05 mol%, although the after-glow intensities for all phosphors vary exponentially with the times.

Both photoluminescence and the long-phosphorescent properties for $SrAl_2O_4$ : Eu$^{+2}$, $Dy^{+3}$ phosphor powder synthesized by the solid phase reaction were investigated as a function of $B_2O_3$ composition (0-10 wt%). The highest emission wavelength (520nm) of photoluminescence spectra was not affected by $B_2O_3$concentration. The highest emission intensity was obtained by the concentration of 3 wt% $B_2O_3$.After the removal of the Xenon lamp excitation (360nm), also, the excellent long-phosphorescent property of the phosphors was obtained by the concentration of 3 wt% $B_2O_3$ although the decay times for all phosphors decreased exponentially.

The error probability of the DS-CDMA / DPSK cellular mobile communication system with CCI canceller and MRC diversity reception technique has been analyzed in the cellular radio channel which is characterized by AWGN, Multi-User Interference(MUI) and m-distribution fading. System capacity i. e., number of user per cell has been derived and the evaluated results are shown in figures as a function of PN code sequence length, fading index, BER, number of diversity branches and $E_b/N_o$, Here, the voice activity factor is assumed to be 3/8, the number of sectors in a cell 3 and Multi-User Iner- ference is modeled as Gaussian process.

Variations of rheological properties of culture broth during the production of biopolymer by an alkali tolerant Bacillus sp. were investigated. Correlations among the rheological characteristics of culture broth, cell growth and biopolymer production were examined. Rheology of the culture broth changed in the course of fermentation. The culture broth showed a non-Newtonian flow behavior, as the viscosity and pseudoplasticsity increased during the cultivation. The rheological parameters such as flow index, consistency index, yield stress and apparent viscosity during the cultivation were not influenced by the cell growth, but significantly related to the biopolymer synthesis. Changes in the rheological parameters of the broth were affected not only by the biopolymer concentration, but also by the progress of fermentation. Some rheological parameters showed maximum values just before the completion of biopolymer production and substrate consumption. Hence, it was shown that the rheological characteristics of the culture broth could be used as a good indicator for the detection of the progress or completion of fermentation.

In spacecraft system, structure subsystem has the mission of supporting all the components safely under various space environmental conditions. The safety of spacecraft structure is finally verified from the coupled load analysis, which is a branch of load analysis which combines the launch vehicle and satellite. This study introduces the optimization algorithm to reduce the weight of spacecraft structure under launch environmental conditions directly. The acceleration responses are obtained by the introduction of coupled load analysis, which lead to check the failure of spacecraft structural members. The results show a 12% saving of structural weight and this saving is mainly driven by the thickness of honeycomb core, which strongly affects the natural frequencies of platforms and panels.

The influences of high speed train on the dynamic responses of steel composite railway bridges are investigated. The bridge system which has two I-girder and several cross beams is modeled with plate and frame elements. With assumption of concrete slabs are fully connected with steel girders, the offset between slabs and girders is modeled using constraint equation. The track system is modeled using beams on elastic foundation theory. And, the TGV train model is developed in 2-dimension considering bouncing and pitching motion. And braking action of vehicle is considered using speed dependent braking function. To investigate the behavior of bridges due to moving trains, parametric studies on the variation of natural frequency of bridge, speed parameter, vehicle modeling method, braking action of train, etc are performed.

A graft copolymer, i.e. poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-chlorotrifluoroethylene )-g-poly(styrene sulfonic acid) (P(VDF-co-CTFE)-g-PSSA) with 47 wt% of PSSA was synthesized via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). This copolymer was combined with titanium isopropoxide (TTIP) to produce graft copolymer/$TiO_2$ nanocomposite membranes via sol-gel process. $TiO_2$ precursor (TTIP) was selectively incorporated into the hydrophilic PSSA domains of the graft copolymer and grown to form $TiO_2$ nanoparticles, as confirmed by FT-IR and UV-visible spectroscopy. Water uptake and ion exchange capacity (IEC) decreased with TTIP contents due to the decrease in number of sulfonic acid in the membranes. At 5 wt% of TTIP, the mechanical properties of membranes increased while maintaining the proton conductivity.

This study performed robust design optimization of fighter wing planform, considering uncertainty based on neural network model. To construct uncertainty model, aerodynamic performance and their sensitivity were evaluated by 3-dimensional Euler equations and adjoint variable method at experimental points selected from central composite design. In addition, because a neural network model has the advantage of capturing non-linear characteristic, it was possible to predict sensitivity of the aerodynamic performance efficiently and accurately . From the results of robust design optimization, it could be confirmed that the robustness of the objective function and constraints were improved if the variation of uncertainty and sigma level were increased.
