The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of parental differential treatment and social support perceived by adolescents with siblings with special needs on their self-esteem and internalized problems. The subjects comprised one hundred 12- to 18-year-old adolescents with siblings with special needs. The major results of this study were as follows. First, there were significant differences in adolescents' self-esteem by participation in support programs for siblings of children with special needs. Second, there was no significant effect of parental differential treatment on adolescents' self-esteem. Third, there was a significant effect of social support (family, friends, and teachers) on adolescents' self-esteem. Fourth, there was no effects of paternal differential parenting on adolescents' internalized problems. However, there was a significant effect of differential maternal affection on adolescents' internalized problems. Fifth, there was a significant effect of social support, especially in terms of support provided by friends, on adolescents' internalized problems. In conclusion, social support and differential maternal affection both have an important role in adolescents' self-esteem and internalized problems.

This study investigates the effect of the outrigger wall reinforced with post-tension on reducing differential column shortening. Since the outrigger wall is a concrete structure, the effect of its long-term behavior should be considered. The long-term behavior of the outrigger wall increases differential column shortening and decreases the shear force acting on the outrigger. When the stiffness of the outrigger becomes small, the effect of its long-term behavior increases. Furthermore, a method of reinforcing with post-tension to reduce differential column shortening is proposed. Following the analysis, it was confirmed that the post-tension method shows a significant reduction in the differential column shortening. This study shows that the effect of the outrigger wall reinforced with post-tension on reducing differential column shortening increases with the prestressing force of tendon.

This paper presents the effect of the center of the series on convergence in solving vibration problems by Differential Transformation Method(DTM) to the transverse vibration of the Euler-Bernoulli beam under varying axial force. The governing differential equation of the transverse vibration of the Euler-Bernoulli beam under varying axial force is derived. The concepts of DTM were briefly introduced. Numerical calculations are carried out and compared with previously published results. The effect of the center of the series on convergence in solving the problem by DTM is discussed.

In order to design and operate successfully the pressure differential system for smoke control which uses difference of pressure between compartments of building, architectural factors affecting the pressure field of building should be examined and the stack effect is one of the important factors. The field experiments on pressure field in two buildings of 21 stories and 31 stories in summer and winter season with regard to on/off condition of the pressure differential system are carried out to evaluate the influence of stack effect to evacuation and smoke management of high-rise building. In winter season when the stack effect increases, as the pressure differential system starts to operate, the pressure in upper stair rises largely due to the combination effect of the air infiltration from lobby to stair and the stack effect.

A difference in subgrade settlement between two rails of a track manifests as lateral differential subgrade settlement. This settlement causes unsteadiness in the motion of trains passing through the corresponding area. To illustrate the effect of lateral differential subgrade settlement on the dynamic response of a vehicle-track coupling system, a three-dimensional vehicle-track-subgrade coupling model was formulated by combining the vehicle-track dynamics theory and the finite element method. The wheel/rail force, car body acceleration, and derailment factor are chosen as evaluation indices of the system dynamic response. The effects of the amplitude and wavelength of lateral differential subgrade settlement as well as the driving speed of the vehicle are analyzed. The study reveals the following: The dynamic responses of the vehicle-track system generally increase linearly with the driving speed when the train passes through a lateral subgrade settlement area. The wheel/rail force acting on a rail with a large settlement exceeds that on a rail with a small settlement. The dynamic responses of the vehicle-track system increase with the amplitude of the lateral differential subgrade settlement. For a 250-km/h train speed, the proposed maximum amplitude for a lateral differential settlement with a wavelength of 20 m is 10 mm. The dynamic responses of the vehicle-track system decrease with an increase in the wavelength of the lateral differential subgrade settlement. To achieve a good operation quality of a train at a 250-km/h driving speed, the wavelength of a lateral differential subgrade settlement with an amplitude of 20 mm should not be less than 15 m. Monitoring lateral differential settlements should be given more emphasis in routine high-speed railway maintenance and repairs.

In this study, measurement of thermal conductivity of multilayer thin dielectric film has been conducted via differential $3\omega$ method. Also, verification of differential $3\omega$ method has been accomplished with various proposed criteria. The target film for the measurement is 300 nm thick silicon dioxide which is covered with upper protective layer of various thicknesses. The upper protective layer is inserted between the target film and the heater line for purpose of electrical insulator or anti-oxidation barrier since the target film may be a good electrical conductor or a well-oxidizing material. Since the verification of differential $3\omega$ method has not been conducted yet, we have shown that the measurement of thermal conductivity of thin films with upper protective layer via differential $3\omega$ method is verified to be reliable as long as the proposed preconditions of the samples are satisfied. Experimental results show that the experimental errors tend to increase with aspect ratio between thickness of the upper protective layer and width of the heater line due to heat spreading effect.

SOQPSK-TG, which is composed of a precoder and a CPM modulator, adopts a differential precoder method with a differential encoder added to the transmitter as a telemetry standard to simplify the receiver structure. In this paper, we evaluated the effect of the differential encoder on receiver performance at low Eb/No. According to the results of computer simulation, the Eb/No performance in the AWGN channel without the differential encoder is about 2dB better when the BER is 10^-1 and about 1dB when the BER is 10^-2.

We have calculated differential reflection coefficient for isolated well structure of micro-scale, etched on dielectric surface. The differential reflection coefficient is computed using Green's second integral theorem. The purpose of our computation is to find a class of well profiles which give maximal diffusive scattering. To have such a maximal effect, we have concluded that the waist radius of Gaussian beam and its wavelength should be comparable to the well width and that well depth has to be larger than a wavelength. Exact calculation of differential reflection coefficients of dielectric surface with isolated structure on it may be used for the examination of dielectric surfaces and also in making simple but efficient diffuser.
