This study was carried out to investigate the effects of pressing time and spreading amount, moisture content, gap-distance with butt to butt joint and adhesives on bonding strength in manufacturing the laminated wood with Pitch pine (Pinus rigida). The results obtained were as follows: 1) The pressing time of 12 hours, 10 kilogram per square centimeter of pressure and 200 gram per square meter of spreading amount were required to reach over 50 kilogram per square centimeter (block shear strength) in manufacturing the laminated wood by aqueous vinyl urethane adhesive. 2) The bonding strength decreased with the increase of moisture content of wood. The block shear strength, however, showed over 100 kilogram per square centimeter when the strength test was carried out after air-drying the laminated wood in high moisture content (30-70%). 3) Regardless of direction of load, every flexural property decreased with the increase of gap-distance with butt to butt joint. However, little of every flexural property was changed at 0.5 millimeter of joint-gap distance. The flexural property of vertically laminated wood (perpendicular to glue line to load direction: 1) showed more than that of horizontally laminated wood (parallel to glue line to load direction: //). 4) Among five adhesives used at this experiment, the bonding strength of aqueous vinyl urethane adhesive was the highest in dry bond and wet tests.

In general, conventional road pavements are designed under the assumption that the shear strength of geomaterials are under saturated state. In reality, however, most of the pavement geomaterials exists under the unsaturated state. To deal with this gap between saturated and unsaturated conditions, in this paper, unsaturated shear strength was estimated using the results from the triaxial compression test and soil-water characteristics curves. Then, yield loads were assessed using 2-Dimensional finite element method with the selected nonlinear elastic model and the Mohr-Coulomb yield criteria. In addition, various unsaturated condition and surface layer effects on the yield load of granular materials were identified. Therefore, the results demonstrated would provide a possibility to estimate bearing capacity of paved or unpaved roads using unsaturated soil mechanics.

After the light from an incoherent LED was transmitted through the multimode fibers which were linked over 10 km, the nearfield power distribution reached the steady-state independent of launching conditions. It has been also found that the steady-state output power distribution showed the pattern of Gaussian function. In this steady-state Gaussian function pattern, the measured losses of fibers were very repeatable values. In case of using LD source, the speckle phenomena in near -field power distribution appeared until the distance of 10 km. And the output power distribution did not reach the steady-state shown in LED even over 20km on account of the coherence and the nonuniform lasing modes of LD. But the measured losses of fibers were nearly stable in this long distance.

본 논문에서는 새로운 척도에 기반한 다노출 영상 융합 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법에서는 각 노출정도에 따른 픽셀값의 그래프가 컨벡스 형태를 갖는다는 성질과 대조 값의 차이를 고려한 MRF (Markov Random Field) 기반의 에너지 함수를 설계하고 그 에너지 함수를 그래프컷 (Graph cut) 으로 풀어 각 노출치 영상에 대한 가중치 맵 (weight map)을 형성한다. 그리고 가중치 맵을 곱한 각 영상을 더함으로써 융합된 영상을 얻는다. 제안한 컨벡스 성질을 기반으로 한 척도는 특정 컬러 성분이 다른 컬러 성분보다 먼저 과노출 상태에 도달 한 경우의 영역을 가중치 계산에서 제외할 수 있기 때문에 기존의 가중치 기반의 방법보다 정확한 가중치 맵을 형성할 수 있게 한다. 실험 결과 제안하는 방법은 기존의 다노출 영상 융합에 비해 보다 넓은 영역에서 원 영상의 정보를 더 잘 표현하는 것을 확인하였다.

Effects of Airgap and anisotropy substrate on input impedance and radiation pattern of rectangular microstrip patch antenna are studied in terms of an integral equation formulation. The input impedance and radiation pattern of microstrip patch antenna is investigated by using Galerkin's moment method in solving the integral equation. Sinusoidal functions are selected as basis functions, which resemble in the actual standing wave on the Patch. From the numerical results, the variation of input impedance and radiation patterns in the variation of air gap thickness, anisotropy ratio of substrate, and relative permittivity of anisotropy substrate are presented.

Described here for the first time is an investigation on geometrical and electronic molecular structure of metol (N-methyl-p-aminophenol sulphate) as corrosion inhibitor of steel using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Quantum chemical parameters such as highest occupied molecular orbital energy (EHOMO), lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy (ELUMO), energy gap ((${\Delta}E$), Mulliken charges (($q_M$) and natural atomic (($q_n$) charge have been calculated both for gas and aqueous phases by using B3LYP/6-31G+(d,p) basis set. The relation between the inhibition efficiency and quantum chemical parameters have been discussed in order to elucidate the inhibition mechanism of the title compound.

This paper analyzes comparatively the effects of changes in real effective exchange rates on the business fluctuations of the cases of Korea and Japan employing structural vector auto-regression(S-VAR) model which uses quarterly data for the five variables of real effective exchange rates, GDP gap, real interest rates, oil prices, inflation rates for the period of 1980-2006. The paper employes impulse-response analysis and variance decompositions. The paper finds that real exchange rate depreciations are contractionay for the case of Korea while they are expansionary for the case of Japan. These results are consistent with the prevailing empirical results that real exchange rate depreciations are contractionary for developing countries while expansionary for advanced countries.

In the present paper, a flap was optimized to maximize the lift. A 2-element fowler flap system was utilized for optimization with an initial shape of general aviation airfoil and a flap shape designed by Wentz. Response surface method and Hicks-Henne shape function were implemented for optimization. 2-D Navier-Stokes method was used to solve flow field around aGA(W)-1 airfoil with a fowler flap. Commercial programs including Visual-Doc, Gambit/Tgridand Fluent were used. Upper surface shape and the flap gap were optimized and lift for landing condition was improved considerably. The original and optimized flaps were tested in the KARI's 1-m low speed wind tunnel to examine changes in aerodynamic characteristics. For optimized flap tests, the similar trend to prediction could be seen but stall angle of attack was lower than what was expected. Also, less gap than optimized design delayed stall and produced better lift characteristics. This is believed to be the effect of turbulence model.

We report spectroscopic ellipsometric (SE) measurements on $Cd_{1-x}Mg_x/Te$ (0$\leq$x$\leq$0.43) films grown on GaAs substrate. When compared with previous bulk data, at first, current spectrum shows clear interference oscillations below $E_0$ band gap energy, which means the transparent characteristic of direct transition material below $E_0$ edge. It proves that the film samples used for this work have the most interrupted surface of high quality reported so far by SE. Secondly the best resolution of $E_2$-peak is observed, so we can report clear splitting of E$_2$and $E_0'$ band gap energies. We also performed the multilayer calculation necessary to remove this interference oscillations to observe $E_0'$ band gap energy of $Cd_{1-x}Mg_x/Te$ (x=0.23) film.

A band gap refers to a certain frequency range where the propagation of mechanical waves is prohibited. This work focuses on engineering three-dimensional Kelvin lattices having external band gaps at low audible frequency ranges using a gradient-based design optimization method. Elastic wave propagation in an infinite periodic lattice is investigated by employing the Bloch theorem. We model the ligaments using a shear-deformable beam model obtained by consistent linearization in a geometrically exact beam theory. For a given lattice topology, we enlarge band gap sizes by controlling the configuration of the beam neutral axis and cross-section thickness that are smoothly parameterized by B-spline basis functions within the isogeometric analysis framework.
