  • A topological theory is introduced to extend Tsenoglou's theory to polymer blends having temporary and permanent networks composed of multicomponent polymers which have miscible and flexible chains. The topological theory may estimate the values of free elastic energy, the molecular weight between entanglements, and the equilibrium shear moduli, and it may establish more correctly the topological relations among these physical quantities. Through such introduction of the topological theory, there can be topologically analyzed the mixing law for the rubbery plateau modulus of a fluid polymer blend, and there can be considered the topological relationship to the equilibrium modulus of an interpenetrating polymer network containing trapped entanglements and dangling segments. The theoretically predictive values are compared and show good agreement with the experimental data for several miscible polymer blends.

  • Various researches have been studied on WSN(wireless sensor network) for barbed wire entanglements surveillance applications such as industry facilities, security area, prison, military area, airport, etc. Currently, barbed wire entanglements surveillance is formed wire sensor network environment. Traditional wire sensor network guarantee high data transmission rate. Therefore, wire sensor network use fast fourier transform of data of high transmission rate for extraction of feature parameter. However, wireless sensor network in comparison with wire sensor network has very low data transmission rate. Therefore, wireless sensor network doesn't use fast fourier transform of wire sensor network for extraction of feature parameter. In this paper, proposed method use 1 level approximation coefficient of DTW(dynamic time-warped) algorithms based on DWT(discrete wavelet transform) for extraction of detection feature parameter and classification feature parameter for barbed wire entanglements surveillance. l level approximation coefficient have time information and frequency information of signal. Therefore, Dynamic time-warped algorithms based on discrete wavelet transform improve detection and classification of target rather than using energy of signal.

  • In this study, the AHP (analytic hierarchy process) technique was used to analyze the risk of expected risk factors and fishing possibilities during gillnet fishing within the floating offshore wind farms (floating OWF). For this purpose, the risks that may occur during gillnet fishing within the floating offshore wind farms were defined as collisions, entanglements, and snags. In addition, the risk factors that cause these risks were classified into three upper risk factors and ten sub risk factors, and the three alternatives to gillnet fishing available within the floating OWF were classified and a hierarchy was established. Lastly, a survey was conducted targeting fisheries and marine experts and the response results were analyzed. As a result of the analysis, among the top risk factors, the risk was the greatest when laying fishing gear. The risk of the sub factors for each upper risk was found to be the highest at the berthing (mooring), the final hauling of fishing net, and the laying of the bottom layer net. Based on the alternatives, the average of the integrated risk rankings showed that allowing full navigation/fisheries had the highest risk. As a result of the final ranking analysis of the integrated risk, the overall ranking of allowing navigation/fisheries in areas where bottom layer nets were laid was ranked the first when moving vessels within the floating OWF was analyzed as the lowest integrated risk ranking of the 30th at the ban on navigation/fisheries. Through this, navigation was analyzed to be possible while it was analyzed that the possibility of gillnet fishing within the floating OWF was not high.

  • A meshless method which is the new computational method being developed recently, is applied to the simulation of large deformation problems. Among the many types of meshless methods, the Reproducing Kernel particle method (RKPM) is used and the nearly incompressible hyperelastic materials are employed in simulations. The meshless methods can avoid metsh distortions and mesh entanglements that may frequently happen when the mesh-based methods like finite element method are used for the simulations of largely deformed materials. A general features of meshless methods are reviewed and the formulation of RKPM is presented. Next, the performance of explicit RKPM is demonstrated by examples.

  • 다층 구조를 갖는 고무/아크릴 충격보강제가 poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/ 충격보강제 블렌드의 몰폴로지와 유변학적 성질에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. TEM으로 측 정한 블렌드 내의 충격보강제 몰폴로지는 그 함량에 관계없이 균일한 크기의 구형을 이루는 것으로 나타났으며 파괴 단면의 SEM 측정으로부터 충격보강제와 매트릭스 수지와의 강한 결합력을 확인할수있었다. 블렌드의 유변물성 측정 실험에서는 충격보강제 함량이 복합 점 도에 크게 영향을 준 반면, capillary rheometer로부터 얻은 정상상태 점도에는 별 영향을 주지않음이 확인되었다. 특히 동적응력 실험의 고진동 주파수 영역에서는 일정 충격보강제 함량이상 일 때 충격보강제 자체의 점도와 근사해졌으며 이와같은 현상을 충격보강제의 shell 분자 상호간 또는 매트릭스 분자와의 엉킴에서 비롯되는 물리적인 상호 작용측면에서 설명해보았다. 또한 실험 결과를 Palierne[16]의 비상용성 블렌드계의 이멀젼 모델과 비교한 결과 상당한 차이를 확인할수 있었으며 이러한 차이는 위에서 언급한 shell 분자 상호간 또 는 매트릭스 분자와의 엉킴에 기인한다고 추정된다.

  • Results of isothermal torsional oscillation tests are reported on melts of linear low density polyethylene and isotactic polypropylene. Prior to rheological tests, specimens were annealed at various temperatures ranging from $T_a$ = 180 to $310^{\circ}C$ for various amounts of time (from 30 to 120 min). Thermal treatment induced degradation of the melts and caused pronounced decreases in their molecular weights. With reference to the concept of transient networks, constitutive equations are developed for the viscoelastic response of polymer melts. A melt is treated as an equivalent network of strands bridged by junctions (entanglements and physical cross-links). The time-dependent response of the network is modelled as separation of active strands from and merging of dangling strands with temporary nodes. The stress-strain relations involve three adjustable parameters (the instantaneous shear modulus, the average activation energy for detachment of active strands, and the standard deviation of activation energies) that are determined by matching the dependencies of storage and loss moduli on frequency of oscillations. Good agreement is demonstrated between the experimental data and the results of numerical simulation. The study focuses on the effect of molecular weight of polymer melts on the material constants in the constitutive equations.

  • The Edwards-Vilgis slip-link theory and the Kaliske-Heinrich extended tube theory were tested experimentally using published experimental data on networks of natural and isoprene rubber and on polysiloxane networks. All parameters were adjusted to achieve an optimum fit. The data description obtained with the EV theory is not satisfactory and the parameter values tend to lie outside their reasonably expected range. But for the region of low strains, the Kaliske-Heinrich theory offers a satisfactorily accurate data description which is able to serve for practical purposes. Its crosslink term, however, is based on approximations which lead to a questionable prediction and values determined for the exponent in the entanglement term lie outside the range expected by the KH model. Thus, the title question cannot be given a positive answer. Conclusions published earlier that the trapped entanglements contribute both to the crosslink and constraint (entanglement) term are supported by the present data analysis. Experimental equibiaxial data on hydrocarbon networks do not show any maximum on their stretch ratio dependence, contrary to the predictions of molecular theories. The stretch ratio dependences of relative reduced stresses do not sensitively reflect differences in the chemical nature of the chain backbone (hydrocarbon vs. siloxane) and in the crosslinking method (end-linking vs. random crosslinking).

  • On the World Refugee Day in 2017, Yao Chen, a Chinese actress, philanthropist, and social media influencer, posted messages in her Weibo in support of the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR). Yet, social media users quickly interpreted this supportive message of the refugee program as encouraging people to "accept and receive refugees" (jieshou nanmin) into China. Particularly, the category of Middle Eastern refugees elicited most criticism in China's cyberspace. As the inclusion of refugees is an integral part of immigrant multiculturalism, this article examines the limits of multicultural imagination of refugees―particularly those from the Middle Eastern and North Africa―in contemporary China. I argue that the limits of multicultural imagination in contemporary China is profoundly shaped by an intricate interweaving of domestic policies and global imaginaries toward refugees. By deploying a mixed methodology, such limits are examined from legal-institutional, ideological, and sociocultural perspectives. More specifically, three interrelated aspects will be highlighted in the article: (1) the global circulation of right-wing populism imaginaries, and their entanglements with the anti-Muslim sentiments in contemporary China; (2) the current insufficiency of the legal-institutional framework regarding refugees and asylum-seekers, which needs to be contextualized in China's modern history of dealing with refugee issues; (3) population politics, the rise of Han-centric nationalism, and their constraining impact on the interpretation of historical events related to cultural diversity. In conclusion, this article also offers potential implications for further examining the different yet potentially intersected genealogies of multicultural imaginaries beyond the Middle Eastern and North African refugees in Asia.

  • 무선 센서 네트워크는 화산 감시, 전장 감시, 동물 서식지 감시, 건축물의 감시, 농장 관리, 의료분야등 다양한 분야에서 연구되고 있다. 국내에서도 국가 정책 사업으로 교량 및 건축물의 균열 감시, 표적의 침입 탐지 및 식별을 위한 무선 센서 네트워크 연구가 활발히 진행 중이다. 특히, 무선 센서 네트워크의 다양한 분야의 연구 중에서 철조망을 이용한 표적의 침입 탐지 및 식별에 관한 연구는 산업 시설, 보안지역, 교도소, 군사지역, 공항 등 다양한 분야에서 사용된다. 현재 철조망 감시는 대부분 유선 센서 노드를 통한 유선 센서 네트워크 환경에서 이루어지고 있다. 기존의 유선 센서 네트워크는 높은 데이터 전송률을 통해 수신되는 높은 정보의 신호를 이용하여 고속 푸리에 변환에 의한 신호의 주파수 분석 기법을 사용해 왔다. 하지만, 유선 센서 네트워크의 높은 데이터 전송률과 비교하여 무선 센서 네트워크의 센서 노드는 유선 센서 네트워크에 비해 매우 낮은 데이터 전송률을 가진다. 따라서 무선 센서 네트워크에서 수신되는 신호의 정보가 매우 낮고, 유선 센서 네트워크에서 사용된 고속 푸리에 변환에 의한 신호의 주파수 분석에 따른 주파수별 특징 추출을 할 수 없다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 철조망 감시를 위한 높은 데이터 전송률을 보장하는 유선 센서 네트워크에 비해 제한된 통신자원과 센서 노드의 낮은 데이터 전송률로 인해 수신되는 한정적인 신호의 정보를 이용한 무선 센서 네트 워크에서 철조망의 표적 침입 탐지 및 식별을 위한 특징 추출 알고리즘을 제안한다.
