  • Overcrowding of high-rise buildings in urban zones change the airflow pattern in the surrounding areas. This causes building wind, which adversely affects the wind environment. Building wind can generate more serious social damage under extreme weather conditions such as typhoons. In this study, to analyze the wind speed and wind speed ratio quantitatively, we installed five anemometers in Haeundae, where high-rise buildings are dense, and conducted on-site monitoring in the event of typhoon OMAIS to determine the characteristics of wind over skyscraper towers surround the other buildings. At point M-2, where the strongest wind speed was measured, the maximum average wind speed in 1 min was observed to be 28.99 m/s, which was 1.7 times stronger than that at the ocean observatory, of 17.0 m/s, at the same time. Furthermore, when the wind speed at the ocean observatory was 8.2 m/s, a strong wind speed of 24 m/s was blowing at point M-2, and the wind speed ratio compared to that at the ocean observatory was 2.92. It is judged that winds 2-3 times stronger than those at the surrounding areas can be induced under certain conditions due to the building wind effect. To verify the degree of wind speed, we introduced the Beaufort wind scale. The Beaufort numbers of wind speed data for the ocean observatory were mostly distributed from 2 to 6, and the maximum value was 8; however, for the observation point, values from 9 to 11 were observed. Through this study, it was possible to determine the characteristics of the wind environment in the area around high-rise buildings due to the building wind effect.

  • The room temperature and air conditioning load in the underground space have been investigated numerically by the unsteady heat conduction equation. The model room has 3 m in height and 10 m in width, and it's position in the underground depth are 0.5 m to 5 m. When the room was located around surface, the room temperatures were strongly influenced by the atmosphere. But the underground depth is more than 2 m, the yearly temperature amplitude was small and the temperature phase was delayed. Up to 5 m of the depth, the cooling and heating load was decreased rapidly, but over 10 m of the depth, the air conditioning load was constant.

  • This paper presents the 2-bit parallel algorithmic ADC using current mode for parallel method algorithm. It is operated by parallel conversion, 2-bit at each moment, and increase bit numbers by serial connection. The circuit operates in current mode. The comparison ratio can be controlled while working under mode operation. The circuit design used 0.8 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS technology which capable to convert 2-bit in 50 ns, power consumed 0.786 nW, with input current 0-50 mA from 3V single supply. From simulation testing, the conversion rate is much faster than other method.

  • Parkash and Kour obtained a new version of Cohen's theorem for Noetherian modules, which states that a finitely generated R-module M is Noetherian if and only if for every prime ideal 𝔭 of R with Ann(M) ⊆ 𝔭, there exists a finitely generated submodule N𝔭 of M such that 𝔭M ⊆ N𝔭 ⊆ M(𝔭), where M(𝔭) = {x ∈ M | sx ∈ 𝔭M for some s ∈ R \ 𝔭}. In this paper, we generalize the Parkash and Kour version of Cohen's theorem for Noetherian modules to S-Noetherian modules and w-Noetherian modules.

  • This paper proposes a wavelength sensor based on the optical directional coupler. The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) is used in analysis of the field intensity of tile light propagating thorough the structure. The device with tile width of 0.4 $\mu\textrm{m}$ and the thickness of 0.4 $\mu\textrm{m}$, which corresponding with the coupling length of 40$\mu\textrm{m}$, would provide tile linear relationship between the coupling efficiency against the wavelength. The device can sense the wavelength in a range between 1.5$\mu\textrm{m}$ and 1.6$\mu\textrm{m}$, with continuous resolution. The wide wavelength could be also done be paralleling th light to a number of wavelength-sensing modules with particularly required bands. Therefore, it could be employed as the wavelength sensing for most optical communications, optoelectronics, laser applications and etc.

  • Across-wind response is often the cause of significant structural vibrations that in turn cause fatigue damage to welded and other connections. The efficacy of low-cost helical strakes to mitigate such adverse response is presented for a traffic signal structure. Field observations are made on a prototype structure in a natural wind environment without and with helical strakes installed on the cantilevered arm. Through continuous monitoring, the strakes were found to be effective in reducing across-wind response at wind speeds less than 10 m/s. Estimates of fatigue life are made for four different geographical locations and wind environments. Results for the class of traffic signal structure show that helical arm strakes are most effective in locations with benign wind environments where the average annual wind speed is not more than the vortex shedding wind speed, which for this investigation is 5 m/s. It is concluded that while strakes may be effective, it is not the panacea to mitigating connection fatigue at all locations.

  • A very fast method of moments(MoM) for the analysis of microstrip structure is considered based upon the use of rooftop basis and razor test functions in conjunction with a new closed-form Green's functions. The present method presents a robust approach to obtain the Green's functions which can be derived by use of only one set of approximation parameters independently of operating frequency range. Moreover, using the present MoM scheme, the MoM matrix elements can be analytically evaluated with few number of terms in comparison with the previous method. So, the computational efficiency can be improved significantly without loss of the precision. In order to check the validity of the present method, performance is demonstrated for the example of a coaxially-fed microstrip transmission line and the present results are compared with the previous results.

  • The laser annealing effects on the TEOS (Tetra-Ethyl-Ortho-Silicate) oxide of MOS (Al/TEOS/n+ Silicon) structures was investigated with different initial oxide conditions, such as breakdown field. The breakdown field increased up to the 170 $mJ/cm^2$ with increasing laser energy density and decreased at 220 $mJ/cm^2$. It is considered that the increase of breakdown field is originated from the restore of strains which exist mainly at the metal/oxide interface.

  • A series of novel glucose derived benzyl and alkyl 1,2,3-triazoles and their hydrochlorides have been synthesized via Cu(I)-catalyzed 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. All the new compounds were characterized by MS, IR and NMR spectra. The DEPT, APT, $^1H$-$^1H$ and $^1H-^{13}C$ 2D NMR spectra for some compounds were also recorded. These compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus proteus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, and antifungal activities against Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigatus. The bioactive data revealed that (3R,4S,5S,6S)-2-(hydroxymethyl)-6-methoxy-4,5-bis((1-octyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methoxy)-tetrahydro-2H-pyran-3-ol 8a exhibited excellent antifungal activity against A. fumigatus with an MIC value of 0.055 mM compared to Fluconazole. It also showed broad inhibitory efficacy against tested bacterial strains with MIC values ranging from 0.049 mM to 0.39 mM.
