  • Though box compression strength (BCS) is commonly used as a performance criterion for shipping containers, estimating BCS remains a challenge. In this study, artificial neural networks (ANN) are implemented as a new tool, with a focus on building up ANN architectures for BCS estimation. An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model can be constructed by adjusting four modeling factors: hidden neuron numbers, epochs, number of modeling cycles, and number of data points. The four factors interact with each other to influence model accuracy and can be optimized by minimizing model's Mean Squared Error (MSE). Using both data from the literature and "synthetic" data based on the McKee equation, we find that model estimation accuracy remains limited due to the uncertainty in both the input parameters and the ANN process itself. The population size to build an ANN model has been identified based on different data sets. This study provides a methodology guide for future research exploring the applicability of ANN to address problems and answer questions in the corrugated industry.

  • In this paper, we suggested an evaluation model for satisfaction of e-Learning. This model was composed decision of evaluation criteria, analysis of consciousness structure for evaluation factors using the Fuzzy Structural Modeling method, decision of weights for evaluation factors considering intersectional dependence relations and evaluation of satisfaction of e-Learning. The case study of this model was done for comparative analysis between teachers and students of e-Learning in high school.

  • The air quality simulation models in wide use for air quality impact assessmetns are reviewed. After an intensive survey and comparative study upon the environmental impact assessment reports submitted to Ministry of Environment during 1990~1998, we could identify the major common problems with the air quality impact assessment procedures. Several remedies are presented here, including use of the screening models applicable to the complex terrain.

A Comparative Study on the Equivalent Load Method and the Initial Stress Method for Modeling of the Prestressing Tendon (프리스트레싱 텐던의 모델링을 위한 등가하중법과 초기응력법의 비교연구)

  • In finite element analysis of the PSC structures, the prestressing effect can be introduced by two ways, i.e, equivalent loads or initial stress. This study investigates the reason why the two schemes that adopt the different approaches produce the similar results. The discussion is applicable to the general finite elements that correspond to the concrete and tendons. Some of the detailed derivations of each scheme are presented. Numerical examples show the identical results for the two methods.

  • The mechanisms of Cu2+ adsorption onto goethite, hematite and kaolinite are different. Goethite and hematite showed a similar adsorption behavior (ionic-strength independent), but kaolinite gave somewhat different result (ionic-strength dependent). These experimenal results were successfully simulated using a surface complexation model, TLM, which defines the inner- or outer-sphere complex. The chemical nature of Cu2+ adsorption onto kaolinite was qualitatively identified by EPR spectroscopy.

  • ·The potent antitumor activities of 3-arylisoquinolines promoted us to explore the structure-activity relationship of these compounds. A series of 3-arylisoquinoline derivatives were evaluated for antitumor cytotoxicity against human lung tumor cell (A 549). For the next stage, we decided to prepare the constrained form of 3-arylisoquinolines as indeno[1,2-c]isoquinolines. As a result, diverse spectrum against human tumor cell lines was obtained. In order to study structure-activity relationship (SAT) of these compounds the comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) was carried out. (omitted)

  • Corrosion of copper alloys (copper, bronze and brass) in soil was evaluated at ambient temperature using various methods such as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), polarization curves and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) coupled with Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy microanalysis measurements. Three equivalent circuits were separately used to interpret the obtained impedance spectra. The EIS measurements indicated that the polarization resistance of all electrodes increases with increasing the immersion time. SEM showed a presence of three layers of corrosion products with various composition and morphology covering each electrode. In addition, it was found that at 20% of moisture content the $R_p$ values and the current density of all electrodes in the studied soil give the following order: copper > bronze > brass. Good consistency between the data obtained from EIS and PP measurements was observed.
