Computer-Generated Hologram (CGH) is made for three dimensional image of a virtual object. Error diffusion method is used for the phase quantization of CGH, and it is known to be effective to the image quality improvement of the reconstructed image. However, the image quality of the reconstructed image from the CGH using error diffusion method depends on the selection of error diffusion coefficient. In this paper, we derived the relational expression to obtain the error diffusion coefficient from the position of the input object and size of the input object for CGH. As a result, the method of this thesis was able to obtain an excellent reconstructed image compared with the case to derive the error diffusion coefficient from only the position of the input image.

This study were predicted the corrosion threshold reached at steel reinforcement in latex modified concrete(LMC) which were applied the agricultural hydraulic concrete structures. Accelerated testing was accomplished to the evaluate the diffusion coefficient of LMC mix, and the time dependent constants of diffusion. Also, the average chloride diffusion coefficient was estimated. From the average chloride ion diffusion coefficient, the time which critical chloride contents at depth of reinforcement steel was estimated. Test results indicated that the corrosion threshold reached at reinforcement in LMC were effected on the mix proportion factor including cement contents, latex content, and water-cement ratio. Especially, the average chloride diffusion coefficient, the corrosion threshold reached at reinforcement in LMC were affected by the all mix proportion factor.

A reference diffusion coefficient model from ACI life-365 is drawn from test results by NT build 443. This test method gives a time-averaged diffusion coefficient during immersion period, thus the ACI model uses the time-averaged diffusion coefficient as a reference value. ACI model needs to be revised, considering the difference between the time-average value and reference value at specified time. In this study, firstly the analytic solutions of diffusion equation are derived considering the initiation time and period of exposure to chloride, and secondly the time-averaged diffusion coefficient from NT build 443 is converted into the diffusion coefficient at reference time. From this study, the reference diffusion coefficient of ACI model should be modified to be about 10% larger values than those of present ACI model. For convenient design of service life, previous relationship between the chloride diffusion coefficient from NT build 443 and that from NT build 492 is also modified. To compare the chloride diffusion coefficients of ACI and JCI models, the reference chloride diffusion coefficient with respect to the JCI model is drawn in the similar form of ACI model's, and service life prediction by ACI life-365 method is confirmed to give a conservative result.

This paper utilizes the modified Davis model and the mode coupling theory, as parts of the electrolyte solution theory, to investigate the diffusivity of the ion in concrete. Firstly, a computational model of the ion diffusion coefficient, which is associated with ion species, pore solution concentration, concrete mix parameters including water-cement ratio and cement volume fraction, and microstructure parameters such as the porosity and tortuosity, is proposed in the saturated concrete. Secondly, the experiments, on which the chloride diffusion coefficient is measured by the rapid chloride penetration test, have been carried out to investigate the validity of the proposed model. The results indicate that the chloride diffusion coefficient obtained by the proposed model is in agreement with the experimental result. Finally, numerical simulation has been completed to investigate the effects of the porosity, tortuosity, water-cement ratio, cement volume fraction and ion concentration in the pore solution on the ion diffusion coefficients. The results show that the ion diffusion coefficient in concrete increases with the porosity, water-cement ratio and cement volume fraction, while we see a decrease with the increasing of tortuosity. Meanwhile, the ion concentration produces more obvious effects on the diffusivity itself, but has almost no effects on the other ions.

Error diffusion is excellent for reproducing grey-scale images to binary images. The output of conventional error diffusion produces correlated pattern. In this paper, a new error diffusion coefficient set is proposed to reduce correlated pattern and to enhance edge through frequency analysis of the error diffusion coefficients. The error diffusion coefficients of the previous line are designed to enhance the edge. The error diffusion coefficient of the previous pixel of the current pixel is selected to symmeterize the coefficient set. Because the proposed coefficient-set consists of 1 and 2, a few computations are required. As results of experiments, it is shown that the binary image using the proposed coefficients have better quality than conventional ones.

In proton-conducting perovskites, oxygen ions and protons make a diffusion pair for a chemical diffusion and thus lead to the transport of $H_2O$ under its chemical potential gradient. The present manuscript develops relationships between the chemical diffusion coefficient of $H_2O$ and the diffusion coefficients of protons and oxygen vacancies with an emphasis on the thermodynamic behavior of the oxygen vacancies. Depending on the degree of hydration X, two different expressions of the chemical diffusion coefficient were obtained : equation omitted and equation omitted.

The purpose of this study is to identify the diffusion coefficients of carbon dioxide for various concrete mixtures. The test results indicate that the diffusion coefficient increases with the increase of water-cement ratio. The diffusion coefficient decreases with the increase of relative humidity at the same water-cement ratio. The diffusion of carbon dioxide reached the steady-state within about five hours after exposure. It was found that the diffusion coefficient of cement paste is larger then that of concrete or mortar. The quantitative values of diffusivity of carbon dioxide in this study will allow more realistic assessment of carbonation depth in concrete structures.

The purpose of this study is to provide fundamental data on chloride diffusion from lightweight aggregate concrete by utilizing crushed stone-powder. Accordingly, the study performed experiments using concrete aggregates of Crushed Aggregate (CG), Single-sized Lightweight Aggregate (SLG), Continuous Graded Lightweight Aggregate (CLG), and using water-binder ratio of 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, and using binder of FA and BFS. The chloride diffusion coefficient is calculated after experiment based on NT BUILD 492. Diffusion coefficient of SLG and CLG were little bit higher than CG Concrete, but the difference is meaningless. Also, chloride diffusion coefficient indicates that it is highly affected by water-binder ratio, and it decreases with the decrease in water-binder ratio. The admixture substitution indicates decrease only with water-binder ratio of 0.4 for FA15% case, but admixture substitution indicates decrease with all levels of ratio for FA10 + BFS20% which means more appropriate. According to the analysis result of chloride diffusion from lightweight aggregate concrete, crushed stone-powder utilized lightweight aggregate concrete indicates higher chloride diffusion coefficient than CG concrete, which is not a significant difference, and can improve resistance through water-binder ratio and admixture substitution.

To estimatc mutual diffusion coefficient for the analysis of mass transfer phenomena in polymer/solvent system, two models are proposed and the equations are derived. The estimates of mutual diffusion coefficients are obtained by two models suggested in this work and compared with and experimental data and Vrentas-Duda's. Vrentas-Duda's self diffusion coefficient was used for the mutual diffusion coefficient. Derivative of chemical potential on solvent was derived and used using original UNIFAC-FV and modified UNIFAC-FV. However, Vrentas-Duda's equation for mutual diffusion coefficient contains Flory-Huggins parameter x. For the derivative of chemical potential term, Vrentas-Duda assumed that parameter x was constant and independent of temperatures and concentrations The assumption is one of shortcoming in vrentas-Duda's mutual diffusion coefficient. New methods proposed in this work do not have such assumptions and simplifications. For the solvent of cyclohexane, n-pentane, and n-hexane in PIB(polyisolbutylene) and PMS-BR (poly(p-methylstyrene-co-isobutylene), new methods well correlate the experimental data at various temperatures and concentrations, and predicted the experimental data much better than Vrentas-Duda's for the PIB/toluene system. It is shown that new methods are excellent tools for correlating mutual diffusion coefficient data in polymer/solvent system over wide ranges of temperature and concentration without any assumptions or simplifications.

Chloride ion diffusion at the corner of rectangular-shaped concrete structures is presented. At the corner of rectangular-shaped concrete, chloride ion diffusion is in two-dimensional process. Chloride ions accumulate from two orthogonal directions, so that corrosion-free life of concrete structures is significantly reduced. A numerical procedure based on finite element method is used to solve the two-dimensional diffusion process. Orthotropic property of diffusion coefficient of concrete is considered and chloride ion profile obtained from numerical analysis is used to produce transformed diffusion coefficient. Comparisons of experimental data are also carried out to show the reliability of proposed numerical analysis. As a result of two-dimensional chloride diffusion, corrosion-free life of concrete structure for railway is estimated using probability of corrosion initiation. In addition, monographs that produces transformed diffusion coefficient and corrosion-free life of concrete structure are made for maintenance purpose.
