This present study investigates Love-type wave propagation in composite structure consists of a loosely bonded functionally graded piezoelectric material (FGPM) stratum lying over a functionally graded initially-stressed fibre-reinforced material (FGIFM) substrate. The closed-form expressions of the dispersion relation have been obtained analytically for both the cases of electrically open and electrically short conditions. Some special cases of the problem have also been studied and the obtained results are found in well-agreement with the classical Love wave equation. The emphatic influence of wave number, bonding parameter associated with bonding of stratum with substrate of the composite structure, piezoelectric coefficient as well as dielectric constant of the piezoelectric stratum, horizontal initial stresses, and functional gradedness of the composite structure on the phase velocity of Love-type wave has been reported and illustrated through numerical computation along with graphical demonstration in both the cases of electrically open and electrically short condition for the reinforced and reinforced-free composite structure. Comparative study has been carried out to analyze the distinct cases associated with functional gradedness of the composite structure and also various cases which reveals the influence of piezoelectricity, reinforcement and horizontal initial stress acting in the composite structure, and bonding of the stratum and substrate of the composite structure in context of the present problem which serves as one of the major highlights of the study.

대구시내 중고등학교에 재학중인 12세에서 17세 사이의 남학생 360명을 대상으로 체격을 측정하여 체격의 대표치라고 할 수 있는 신장을 독립변수로 하고 년령 증가에 따라 변화가 뚜렷한 11가지의 체격치 (체중, 흉위, 좌고, 하지장, 대퇴장, 대퇴위, 하퇴장, 상지장, 상박장, 전박위 및 피부두겹두께)를 각각 종속변수로 하여 회귀분석을 하고 결정 계수를 산출 하였다. 회귀분석의 결과를 보면 회귀계수는 신장에 대한 체중의 회귀계수가 0.90으로 가장컸으며 피부 두겹 두께의 회귀계수가 0.09로서 가장 작았다. 대개 측정치가 크면 회귀계수도 컸으나 그 관계가 꼭 일정하지는 않았다. 직선이나 곡선의 회귀관계에서 두 변량의 관계 표현의 적합도를 나타내는 결정계수는 대퇴장과 피부 두겹 두께의 경우를 제외하면 거의 모두 1에 가까워서 이들은 직선의 회귀방정식으로서도 두 체격치사이의 관계를 무리없이 표현할수 있었으며 특히 피부두겹두께의 경우에는 측정과정에서 일어나는 오차가 전체에 미치는 영향이 상당히 커서 일차회귀로서는 표현이 아무래도 미흡함을 알수 있었다.

Zeolite-templated carbons (ZTCs), which have high specific surface area, were prepared by a conventional templating method using microporous zeolite-Y for catalyst supports in direct methanol fuel cells. The ZTCs were synthesized at different temperatures to investigate the characteristics of the surface produced and their electrochemical properties. Thereafter, Pt-Ru was deposited at different carbonization temperatures by a chemical reduction method. The crystalline and structural features were investigated using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The textural properties of the ZTCs were investigated by analyzing $N_2$/77 K adsorption isotherms using the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller equation, while the micro- and meso-pore size distributions were analyzed using the Barrett-Joyner-Halenda and Harvarth-Kawazoe methods, respectively. The surface morphology was characterized using transmission electron microscopy and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. The electrochemical properties of the Pt-Ru/ZTCs catalysts were also analyzed by cyclic voltammetry measurements. From the results, the ZTCs carbonized at $900^{\circ}C$ show the highest specific surface areas. In addition, ZTC900-PR led to uniform dispersion of Pt-Ru on the ZTCs, which enhanced the electro-catalytic activity of the Pt-Ru catalysts. The particle size of ZTC900-PR catalyst is about 3.4 nm, also peak current density from the CV plot is $12.5mA/cm^2$. Therefore, electro-catalytic activity of the ZTC900-PR catalyst is higher than those of ZTC1000-PR catalyst.

The structural modes driven by the low wave-number components of smooth elastic wall pressure provide a relatively weak coupling between the flow and the wall motion. If the elastic thin plate has any resonant mode whose wave-number of resonance coincides with $\omega$/U$\sub$c/, the power will be transmitted to those modes of vibration by the flows. We examine the problem in which the elastic thin plate is subject to pressure fluctuations under turbulent boundary layer. Measurements are presented of the frequency spectra of the near- and far-field pressures and radiated sound contributed by the various wave modes of the thin elastic plate. Dispersion equation for wave motions of elastic plate is used to investigate the effect of bending waves of relatively low wave number on radiated sound. The low wave-number motion of elastic plate is observed to have much less influence on the low-frequency energy of wall pressure fluctuations than that of the rediated sound. High amplitude events of the wall pressure are observed to weakly couple with high-frequency energy of radiated sound for case of low tension applied to the plate. The sound source localization is applied to the measurement of radiated sound by using acoustic mirror system.

The permeate flux decline due to membrane fouling can be addressed using a variety of theoretical stand-points. Judicious selection of an appropriate theory is a key toward successful prediction of the permeate flux. The essential criterion f3r such a decision appears to be a detailed characterization of the feed solution and membrane properties. Modem theories are capable of accurately predicting several properties of colloidal systems that are important in membrane separation processes from fundamental information pertaining to the particle size, charge, and solution ionic strength. Based on such information, it is relatively straight-forward to determine the properties of the concentrated colloidal dispersion in a polarized layer or the cake layer properties. Incorporation of such information in the framework of the standard theories of membrane filtration, namely, the convective diffusion equation coupled with an appropriate permeate transport model, can lead to reasonably accurate prediction of the permeate flux due to colloidal fouling. The schematic of the essential approach has been delineated in Figure 5. The modern approaches based on appropriate cell models appear to predict the permeate flux behavior in crossflow membrane filtration processes quite accurately without invoking novel theoretical descriptions of particle back transport mechanisms or depending on adjust-able parameters. Such agreements have been observed for a wide range of particle size ranging from small proteins like BSA (diameter ${\~}$6 nm) to latex suspensions (diameter ${\~}1\;{\mu}m$). There we, however, several areas that need further exploration. Some of these include: 1) A clear mechanistic description of the cake formation mechanisms that clearly identifies the disorder to order transition point in different colloidal systems. 2) Determining the structure of a cake layer based on the interparticle and hydrodynamic interactions instead of assuming a fixed geometrical structure on the basis of cell models. 3) Performing well controlled experiments where the cake deposition mechanism can be observed for small colloidal particles (< $1\;{\mu}m$). 4) A clear mechanistic description of the critical operating conditions (for instance, critical pressure) which can minimize the propensity of colloidal membrane fluting. 5) Developing theoretical approaches to account for polydisperse systems that can render the models capable of handing realistic feed solutions typically encountered in diverse applications of membrane filtration.

본 연구에서는 온도조건에 따른 MR 유체의 물리적 특성을 연구하고자 침전 및 전단응력실험을 수행하였다. MR 댐퍼에 사용되는 MR 유체는 자성 파우더를 포함하고 있어 침전현상이 발생하므로 침강성과 인가전류에 의한 전단응력 변화를 상온과 고온조건에서 실험하였다. 침강특성을 조사하기 위하여 강제 대류형 오븐을 인가전류에 의한 전단응력을 측정하기 위하여 점도계를 사용하였다. 실험결과로부터 MR 유체는 시간과 온도에 따른 침강 특성이 다름을 그리고 교반시간이 큰 경우에 MR 유체의 분산성이 2배 이상 우수하였다. 전단률이 증가할수록 전단응력은 로그함수의 증가분포를 인가전류를 증가할수록 2차 함수의 증가분포를 그리고 MR 유체의 전단응력은 상온보다 고온에서 6-18% 낮은 분포를 보였다.

The effects of surface free energy of substrates on the soiling and on the detergency of the oily soil were studied. The surface tension consisted of dispersion force and polar force components of substrate, oily soil and surfactant solutions were calculated by extended Fowkes' equation. From these values, work of adhesion($W_a$), work of detergency($W_D$), ana residual work of detergency($W_{D,R}$) were calculated. The correlations between these theoretical values of the works and detergency were discussed. MAA grafted PET film was used as substrate, triolein as oily soil and nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ether(NPE) having various mole numbers of oxyethylene adducts and dodecylbenzene sulfonate (DBS) as surfactants. Detergency was estimated by means of radioactive tracer method using $C^{14}-triolein$. The results showed that $W_a$ was decreased with the increase of surface free energy of substrate. In water, $W_D\;and\;W_{D,R}$ were decreased and detergency of tiolein was increased with the increase of surface free energy of substrate. In surfactant solutions, the lower the surface free energy of substrate and the lower oxyethylene adducts of NPE were the more effective on detergency. The detergency of DBS solution was the lowest in the case of ungrafted PET film, but even small increase in surface free energy by grafting showed much increase in detergency.

Hydroacoustic and open-closing zooplankton net survey were conducted to understand the characteristics of the sound scattering layer (SSL) and to estimate the density of an euphausiid (Euphausia pacifica) in the SSL, in the northwestern part of the East China Sea. The survey was carried out during July 6-9 2002 at 8 sampling stations for zooplankton. The virtual echogram technique was used to identify E. pacifica from all acoustic scatters. Mean volume backscattering strength difference $(MVBS_{120kHz-38kHz})$ and target strength equation for E. pacifica were derived from the Distorted-wave Born Approximation (DWBA) model. Although vertical migration of the SSL is similar to the general pattern, dispersion at night shows some differences. Estimated mean density using acoustic data ranged from $20.4-221.4\;mg/m^3$ over the whole depth, and $87.1-553.5\;mg/m^3$ in the SSL. The density using the zooplankton net ranged from $0.2-362.4\;mg/m^3$ and was not related to net deploying method. The results from the acoustic and net survey suggest that E. pacifica might be an important zooplankton community in the northwestern part of the East China Sea.

Solution plasma is a unique method which provides a direct discharge in solutions. It is one of the promising techniques for various applications including the synthesis of metallic/non-metallic nanomaterials, decomposition of organic compounds, and the removal of microorganism. In the context of nanomaterial syntheses, solution plasma has been utilized to produce carbon nanoparticles and metallic-carbon nanoparticle systems. The main purpose of this study was to synthesize nickel nanoparticles embedded in a matrix of carbon particles by solution plasma in one-step using waste vegetable oil as the carbon source. The experimental setup was done by simply connecting a bipolar pulsed power generator to nickel electrodes, which were submerged in the waste vegetable oil. Black powders of the nickel nanoparticles-embedded carbon (NiNPs/Carbon) particles were successfully obtained after discharging for 90 min. The morphology of the synthesized NiNPs/Carbon was investigated by a scanning electron microscope, which revealed a good dispersion of NiNPs in the carbon-particle matrix. The X-ray diffraction of NiNPs/Carbon clearly showed the co-existence of crystalline Ni nanostructures and amorphous carbon. The crystallite size of NiNPs (through the Ni (111) diffraction plane), as calculated by the Scherrer equation was found to be 64 nm. In addition, the catalytic activity of NiNPs/Carbon was evaluated by cyclic voltammetry in an acid solution. It was found that NiNPs/Carbon did not show a significant catalytic activity in the acid solution. Although this work might not be helpful in enhancing the activity of the fuel cell catalysts, it is expected to find application in other processes such as the CO conversion (by oxidation) and cyclization of organic compounds.
