Many of the current buildings in Algeria were built in the past without any consideration to the requirements of the seismic code. Among these buildings, there are a large number of individual houses built in the 1980's by their owners. They are Reinforced Concrete (RC) frame structures with unreinforced hollow masonry infill walls. This buildings type experienced major damage in the 2003 (Algeria) earthquake, generated by deficiencies in the structural system. In the present study, special attention is placed upon examining the vulnerability of RC frame houses. Their situation and their general features are investigated. Observing their seismic behavior, structural deficiencies are identified. The seismic vulnerability of this type of buildings depends on several factors, such as; structural system, plan and vertical configuration, materials and workmanship. The results of the vulnerability assessment of a group of RC frame houses are presented. Using a method based on the European Macroseismic Scale EMS-98 definitions, presented in previous studies, distribution of damage is obtained.

This study reviewed research and design directions on VR-Tangible interaction and explored market-driven approach of VR-tangible interaction applications. As a case study, we studied autism remedy system based on VR-tangible interaction design. Literature and field study has done on autism and its remedy methodologies. Based on observation process about patients, therapists, and remedy programs, interaction factors for autism remedy are found and then design strategy, system configuration, and remedy contents scenarios are set up to solve time and resource problems, presence problems, and efficiency issues of remedy results.

This study focuses on the applicability of hill housing design in accordance with topographic characteristics on sloping sites. The urgency for housing still exists but hill sites have to be planned by gradual development using 'all available land' within any particular community. However, there is a reaction towards being more closely involved with nature and landscape. Sloping and hill sites must be developed by intelligent and sensitive planning, integrating the existing environmental factors. The results of this study are as follows : 1. The conditions of location are regarded as the concepts of spactial configuration. It should be developed on the basis of awareness that nature and human beings exist together. 2. It is inevitable that the development of the hill housing should be performed prefer to the topographic characteristics. 3. Planning elements of ecological residental blocks which are possible for constructing on the hill site can be developed and applied, on the basis of geographical characteristics, by housing types.

In this study, the properties of Thermally Stimulated Current is measured automatic Data Acquisition System with a A/D Converter set. The A/D Converter set is configured with DIO 8255(Intel), AMD 9513 Timer/Counter and some Programed Controllers. Especially, the numerical method of asymtotic estimation to separate single relaxation curve and physical factors related to charged particles were obtained rapidely and completely. As a result, the data obtained by automatic Acquisition System need to be corrected to average value and the whole control and inspectation system is needed.

This study contains the photocatalytic degradation of methyl-tert-butyl ether(MTBE), one of water-contaminating substances, into $CO_2$. Herein was investigated factors, kinetics, and reaction pathways related with MTBE degradation. This works is possible to be applied in the field of environmental remediation such as undergroundwater purification with optimized system configuration in the near future.

The structural soundness of bridges is mainly damaged by overloaded heavy vehicles. The increasing volumes of overloaded heavy vehicles has been indicated as serious state. As results several countries have revised their bridge load codes. However, because of variety of truck types and their weights it is difficult to develop rational standard truck loads. In addition the common practice that only one design configuration of standard truck is adopted to design variety of bridges causes further difficulties. The objective of the study is to investigate the statistical characteristics of vehicle loadings based on survey data col looted, in which some major factors, such as vehicle configurations, vehicle freights, traffic modes, etc. are incorporated.

사용자들이 직접적으로 영상의 전송과 시청 과정에 참여하고, 그 과정에서 다양한 형태로 상호작용을 할 수 있는 새로운 형태의 미디어 서비스를 인터랙티브 미디어 서비스(Interactive media service: IMS)이라고 한다. 본 연구의 목적은 이러한 인터랙티브 미디어 서비스 사용에 영향을 미치는 요인을 규명하는 것이다. 이를 위해 현재 서비스되고 있는 다양한 형태의 인터넷 미디어 서비스 사용자 12명을 대상으로 한 인터뷰를 진행하였으며 근거 이론 분석법에 따라 이를 분석하였다. 그리고 분석 결과에 따라 도출된 요인들을 바탕으로 인터랙티브 미디어 서비스 사용과 관련한 이론적 틀을 제시하고 이를 검증하기 위한 웹서베이를 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 시스템의 기술적 구조, 커뮤니케이션 맥락, 콘텐츠 특성과 같은 요인들이 인터랙티브 미디어 서비스 사용에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 실시간 인터랙티브 미디어 서비스의 경우에는 커뮤니케이션 맥락에 따른 사용 행태가 더 민감하게 나타났고, 비실시간 인터랙티브 미디어 서비스에서는 시스템의 기술적 특성과 콘텐츠 특성에 따른 사용 행태가 보다 민감한 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 인터랙티브 미디어 서비스의 시간 유연성(timing flexibility)에 따라서 사용 행태에 영향을 미치는 요인이 달라질 수 있음을 의미한다.

The pi-cell [1] is known as one of the candidates for a fast response time and a good viewing angle characteristics due to a self-compensated configuration and can be a replaceable mode instead of the current TN mode and the IPS mode for moving picture in future. This paper shows the optimized condition to maintain bend state instead of splay state, which is mortal demerit for good optical properties in a pi-cell, by using the polymer stabilized method [2]. The good electro-optical characteristics are also obtained by optimizing the various factors, which are monomer concentration in a LC, UV intensity, curing time, curing voltage, and curing temperature, and by using retardation film. We use a scanning electron microscope to study the structures of the polymer stabilized polymer network in a pi-cell as a key to figure out why bend state is occurred.
