To study the eccentric compression behavior of ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) columns, six UHPFRC columns and one high-strength concrete (HSC) column were tested. Variation parameters include load eccentricity, volume of steel fibers and stirrup ratio. The crack pattern, failure mode, bearing capacity, and deformation of the specimens were studied. The results showed that the UHPFRC columns had different failure modes. The large eccentric compression failure mode was the longitudinal tensile reinforcements yielded and many horizontal cracks appeared in the tension zone. The small eccentric compression failure mode was the longitudinal compressive reinforcements yielded and vertical cracks appeared in the compressive zone. Because of the bridging effect of steel fibers, the number of cracks significantly increased, and the width of cracks decreased. The load-deflection curves of the UHPFRC columns showed gradually descending without sudden dropping, indicating that the specimens had better deformation. The finite element (FE) analysis was performed to stimulate the damage process of the specimens with monotonic loading. The concrete damaged plasticity (CDP) model was adopted to characterize the behaviour of UHPFRC. The contribution of the UHPFRC tensile strength was considered in the bearing capacity, and the theoretical calculation formulas were derived. The theoretical calculation results were consistent with the test results. This research can provide the experimental and theoretical basis for UHPFRC columns in engineering applications.

Currently, the most important technology is compression methods in the multimedia society. In audio compression, the method using human auditory nervous property is used. This method using psychoacoustical model is applied to perceptual audio coding, because human's audibility is limited. MPEG-II AAC(Advanced Audio Coding) is the most advanced coding scheme that is of benefit to high quality audio coding. The compression ratio is 1.4 times compared with MPEG-I layer-III. In this paper, the vector processor for MDCT/IMDCT(Modified Discrete Cosine Transform /Inverse Modified Discrete Cosine Transform) of MPEG-II AAC is designed.

This paper proposes a compression scheme based on the modified reversible integer transform (MRIT) and forward adaptive prediction for lossless image compression. JPEG XR is the newest image coding standard with high compression ratio and that composed of the Photo Core Transform (PCT) and backward adaptive prediction. To improve the efficiency and quality of compression, we substitutes the PCT and backward adaptive prediction for the modified reversible integer transform (MRIT) and forward adaptive prediction, respectively. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method are superior to the previous method of JPEG XR in terms of lossless compression efficiency and computational complexity.

This paper presents the ECG data compression using wavelet transform(WT) and adaptive fractal interpolation(AFI). The WT has the subband coding scheme. The fractal compression method represents any range of ECG signal by fractal interpolation parameters. Specially, the AFI used the adaptive range sizes and got good performance for ECG data compression. In this algorithm, the AFI is applied into the low frequency part of WT. The MIT/BIH arrhythmia data was used for evaluation. The compression rate using WT and AFI algorithm is better than the compression rate using AFI. The WT and AFI algorithm yields compression ratio as high as 21.0 without any entroy coding.

The purpose of study is obtaining low-emission and high-efficiency in LPi engine with hydrogen enrichment. The test engine was named variable compression ratio single cylinder engine (VACRE). The fuel supply system provides LPG/hydrogen mixtures based on same heating value. A varied sensors such as crank shaft position sensor (CPS) and hall sensor supplies spark timing data to ignition controller. Displacement of VACRE is $1858.2cm^3$. VACRE was runned 1400rpm with compression ratio 8. Spark timing was set MBT without knocking. Relative air-fuel ratio($\lambda$) of this work was varied between 0,8 and 1.5.

This paper aims at the temperature and slenderness ratio effects on physical and mechanical properties of Beishan granite. A series of uniaxial compression tests with various slenderness ratios and temperatures were carried out, and the acoustic emission signal was also collected. As the temperature increases, the fracture aperture of intercrystalline cracks gradually increases, and obvious transcrystalline cracks occurs when T > 600℃. The failure patterns change from tensile failure mode to ductile failure mode with the increasing temperature. The elastic modulus decreases with the temperature and increases with slenderness ratio, then tends to be a constant value when T = 1000℃. However, the peak strain has the opposite evolution as the elastic modulus under the effects of temperature and slenderness ratio. The uniaxial compression strength (UCS) changes a little for the low-temperature specimens of T < 400℃, but a significant decrease happens when T = 400℃ and 800℃ due to phase transitions of mineral. The evolution denotes that the critical brittle-ductile transition temperature increases with slenderness ratio, and the critical slenderness ratio corresponding to the characteristic mechanical behavior tends to be smaller with the increasing temperature. Additionally, the AE quantity also increases with temperature in an exponential function.

The growth of telemedicine-based wireless communication for images-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT)-leads to the necessity of learning the concept of image compression. Over the years, the transform based and spatial based compression techniques have attracted many types of researches and achieve better results at the cost of high computational complexity. In order to overcome this, the optimization techniques are considered with the existing image compression techniques. However, it fails to preserve the original content of the diagnostic information and cause artifacts at high compression ratio. In this paper, the concept of histogram based multilevel thresholding (HMT) using entropy is appended with the optimization algorithm to compress the medical images effectively. However, the method becomes time consuming during the measurement of the randomness from the image pixel group and not suitable for medical applications. Hence, an attempt has been made in this paper to develop an HMT based image compression by utilizing the opposition based improved harmony search algorithm (OIHSA) as an optimization technique along with the entropy. Further, the enhancement of the significant information present in the medical images are improved by the proper selection of entropy and the number of thresholds chosen to reconstruct the compressed image.

Effects of retained compression strength on the collapsibility of $CO_2$ mold sand using sodium silicate were studied. The results obtained from the experiment are summurized as follows; 1) The sand mixtures increased their compression strength and retained compression strength when content of sodium silicate is high or mole ratio of sodium silicate is high. 2) Increase of retained strength has a maximum value at temperatures about $200^{\circ}C$. When the sample reached $800^{\circ}C$, the binder bridge are homogeneous. The retained strength is increased. 3) Decrease of retained strength at temperatures over $200^{\circ}C$ is caused by pore formation and additives of seacoal markedly accelerated pore formations.

As world attention has focused on global warming and air pollution, high efficiency diesel engines with low $CO_2$ emissions have become more attractive. Premixed diesel engines in particular have the potential to achieve the more homogeneous mixture in the cylinder which results in lower NOx and soot emission. Early studies have shown that the operation conditions such as the EGR, intake conditions, injection conditions and compression ratio are important to reduce emissions in a PCCI (Premixed Charge Compression Ignition) engine. In this study a modified cam was employed to reduce the effective compression ratio. While opening timing of the intake valve was fixed, closing timing of the intake valve was retarded $30^{\circ}$. Although Atkinson cycle with the retarded cam leads to a low in-cylinder pressure in the compression stroke, the engine work can still be increased by advanced injection timing. On that account, we investigated the effects of various injection parameters to reduce emission and fuel consumption; as a result, lower NOx emission levels and almost same levels of fuel consumption and PM compared with those of conventional diesel engine cam timing could be achieved with the LIVC system.
