We have analyzed the archival data of far ultraviolet (FUV) observations made for the region of GSH 006-15+7, a large shell-like structure discovered by Moss et al. (2012) from the H I velocity maps. FUV emission is seen enhanced in the lower supershell region and is believed to originate from dust scattering of interstellar photons. A corresponding Monte Carlo simulation indicates that the supershell is located at a distance of $1250^{+750}{_{-500}}$ pc, similar to the previous estimation of 1.5{\pm}0.5 kpc based on kinematic considerations. The spectrum obtained for the lower supershell exhibits molecular hydrogen fluorescence lines: a simulation model for this candidate photodissociation region (PDR) yields a rather high total hydrogen density of $n_H{\sim}30cm^{-3}$ with H2 column density of $N(H_2){=}^{1017.5-20.0}cm^{-2}$. It is argued that the region is in a transition stage from a warm to a cool neutral phase. Strong C IV emission is also seen in the spectrum, but it is not believed to be associated with the supershell as the corresponding spectral map shows a broad region of enhancement both inside and outside the supershell.

The unification model of active galactic nuclei invokes the presence of a thick molecular torus that hides the broad emission line region from a line of sight toward observers with low latitude. It is expected that the illuminated side of the molecular torus may be photodissociated by strong far UV radiation from the central AGN, forming an H I region with a high neutral column density. We propose that the Rayleigh scattering optical depth of this HI region can be significant for most broad $Ly{\alpha}$ line photons with the Doppler factor not exceeding 104 km s-1. Rayleigh scattered $Ly{\alpha}$ photons can be characterized by strong linear polarization depending on their scattering optical depth. We performed Monte Carlo simulations of polarized radiative transfer of $Ly{\alpha}$ adopting simple scattering geometries relevant to the unification model of AGN. We find that for a low torus the Rayleigh scattered $Ly{\alpha}$ is polarized in the direction parallel to the symmetry axis with the polarization degree dependent on wavelength. In the case of a high torus, the core part of $Ly{\alpha}$ is polarized in the direction perpendicular to the symmetry axis whereas the wing part is parallelly polarized. We conclude that careful spectropolarimetry around $Ly{\alpha}$ can be useful in testing the AGN unification model.

This paper suggests a method for getting sums of squares due to sources of variation under the assumption of two-way fixed effects model. The method used for calculating the quantities due to fixed-effects is based on the projections of an observation vector y on the column space generated by the model matrix X under the assumed model. The suggested method shows that the calculation of Type II sums of squares by projections is much easier than the classical Type II analysis.

We firstly present the unified Far-UV continuum map of the Taurus-Auriga-Perseus (TPA) complex, one of the largest local associations of dark cloud located in (l, b)=([152,180], [-28, 0]), by merging both FIMS and GALEX. The FUV continuum map shows that dust extinction correlate well with the FUV around the complex. It says strong absorption in the dense Taurus cloud and Auriga cloud. Although the column density of Perseus and California cloud is similar to Taurus' and Auriga's, Perseus and California cloud do not show strong absorption in FUV because they are more distant than Taurus and Auriga cloud. We also present the dust scattering simulation based on Monte Carlo Radiative Transfer technique. Through the result of Monte-Carlo dust scattering simulation and comparing the result with FIMS-GALEX unified map we gain deeper understanding related to the spatial dust distribution of TPA region. As a preliminary result of the simulation we present the most probable front face, thickness, albedo, and asymmetry factor in this region, respectively. Through this work we can show a certain inclination of the spatial dust distribution. During this study we have developed the FUV dust scattering simulation code using Monte-Carlo method. We expect that it will be generally used to simulate dust scattering in the Galaxy.

This study is aim to understand the distribution and the property of LISM (local interstellar medium) using the high resolution spectra of the 26 early type stars in the five open clusters ( IC 4665, Stephenson 1, Collinder 359, Roslund 5 and Collinder 70). These spectra have been observed by BOES in Bohyunsan observatory from 2009 November to 2011 Feburary, of which resolution is 45,000. We used IRAF for the data reduction (Bias subtraction, Flat-field division, and wavelength calibration) and DECH for the deriving the equivalent widths of 4 interstellar lines - Ca II K (3934${\AA}$), Na I D (5890, 5896${\AA}$) and K I (7698${\AA}$) and the column densities of those elements in LISM toward the clusters. The results of this study provide clues for better understanding of the LISM toward these clusters.

Nowadays in building construction field, workers become aged and avoid dirty, difficult, and dangerous work. Above all, a person who is in charge of beam assembling work in high and narrow space just relies on safety belt. So these workers should be highly trained. This paper deals with a new locomotion robot that can take this in charge, which will be able to provide less labor costs, less time to build a building and safer environments for workers. The geometric features of steel structure in building construction were carefully analyzed and developed a locomotion mechanism optimized to it. The robot was designed to be rugged, strong, and fast rather than having excessive mobility. Feasibility of the developed robot was verified through experiments.

The Chapel and Exhibition hall of Chul-du-san-Holy place are considered as the most important work of architect Lee Hee-Tai (1925-1980), and as a work representing Korean architecture in 1960's. What is the reason that these buildings can acquire such a remarkable estimation? This study tries to make clear this reason with an analytic method. These buildings are situated in singular site, in which small mountain comes up alongside with Han-river. Architect laid out the Chapel and Exhibition hall to the memory of 108 saints who died for their faith in this mountain, considering the specificity of the site, the direction of approach stair, and the formation of public space. Architect proposes an opposed composition of form for these two buildings. So the Exhibition hall is characterized by trabeated structure, centripetal force and Apollonian order. It has strictly proportioned facade, which is composed of two 15m-by-l5m squares and subdivided equally in three portions. The Chapel is charaterized by arcuated structure, centrifugal force, and Dionysosian sentiment. In this work, architect Lee Hee-Tai also expressed the locality of Korean architecture with the grammar of column-roof.

This paper discusses a method for getting Type I sums of squares by projections under a two-way fixed-effects model when variances of errors are not equal. The method of weighted least squares is used to estimate the parameters of the assumed model. The model is fitted to the data in a sequential manner by using the model comparison technique. The vector space generated by the model matrix can be composed of orthogonal vector subspaces spanned by submatrices consisting of column vectors related to the parameters. It is discussed how to get the Type I sums of squares by using the projections into the orthogonal vector subspaces.

This study aims at evaluating the performance of repairing technique with CFRPs in recovering cyclic performance of damaged columns in flexure in terms of structural response parameters such as strength, dissipated energy, stiffness degradation. A 2/3 scaled substandard reinforced concrete frame was constructed to represent the substandard RC buildings especially in developing countries. These substandard buildings have several structural deficiencies such as strong beam-weak column phenomenon, improper reinforcement detailing and poor material properties. Flexural plastic hinges occurred at the columns ends after testing the substandard specimen under both constant axial load and reversed cyclic lateral loading. Afterwards, the damaged columns were externally wrapped with CFRP sheets both in transverse and longitudinal directions and then retested under the same loading protocol. In addition, ambient vibration measurements were taken from the undamaged, damaged and the repaired specimens at each structural repair steps to identify the effectiveness of each repairing step by monitoring the change in the natural frequencies of the tested specimen. The ambient vibration test results showed that the applied repairing technique with external CFRP wrapping was proved to recover stiffness of the pre-damaged specimen. Moreover, the lateral load capacity of the pre-damaged substandard RC frame was restored with externally bonded CFRP sheets.

A Practical and easily applicable methods for the numerical analysis and the optimum design of continuous and horizontally curved two-way slab systems with twelve possible edge conditions are presented. The proposed method for the numerical structural analysis is based on the use of design moment coefficients which are derived from the elastic theory of thin curved plates. The optimum values are selected from within the feasible region in the design space defined by the limit state requirements. The sequential linear programming is introduced as an analytical method of nonlinear optimization. The optimum design variables, including a effective depth and transformed steel ratios per unit width of middle and column strips of slabs, are then determined.
