In solution and melting state, SiOD prepolymer was prepared by cured excess DDM with epoxy-terminated siloxane oligomers to control phase separation when DGEBA was blended with PDMS. DGEBA/SiOD prepolymer was also cured at $150^{\circ}C$ for 3hrs. Mechanical and thermal properties of the cured prepolymer specimen were investigated. DGEBA/SiOD60 specimen blended SiOD prepolymer had the best flexural strength, modulus and impact strength. To show crack-formation procedure to morphology, DGEBA/DDM neat specimen was flowed homogeneously in direction of crack energy, whereas DGEBA/SiOD$(30{\sim}60)$ specimen showed heterogeneously dispersed particles and scattered domain of crack energy, but DGEBA/SiOT specimen showed homogeneous phase.

To clarify the hydraulic characteristics of ice slurry which made from 6.5% ethylene glycol-water solution flowing through circular pipes of small diameter, experimental studies were performed. The flow pattern was observed and the pressure drop was measured in acrylic pipes with inner diameter of 24 mm. The results of flow visualization revealed that ice particles flowed along the top of pipes in the ranges of small ice fraction and low flow rate, while Ice particles diffused into the whole region of pipes flowed like a homogeneous flow for high flow rate and high ice fraction. An increase in frictional pressure drop was measured as the ice fraction increased in all pipes and unstable flow was observed for up-ward vertical pipe.

Homogeneous and fine powders for Bi-2223 tape were prepared by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (SP) method from an aqueous solution of metal nitrates. Bi-2223 precursor powders were synthesized with various solutes concentration and pyrolysis temperature. The synthesized precursor powders had a narrow particle size distribution and an average particle size was $\~{\cal}um$. The reactivity of precursor powder by SP method is very high, attributed to the fine and narrow particle size distribution. Bi-2223/Ag tape was prepared using PIT method and followed by various sintering conditions. The precursor powder by SP method promoted a very quick formation of the Bi-2223 phase for short sintering time while the secondary phase such as large AEC phase and $Ca_2PbO_4$ were minimized for SP tapes.

In this paper, a new method which simultaneously gives the radiation conductance and susceptance of the rectangular microstrip patch antenna. This solution is derived from the load admittance of the equivalent ${\pi}-$network circuit of the slitted parallel-plate waveguide filled with homogeneous dielectric. Our theoretical results for the radiation admittance are compared with other theoretical results. Also, our theoretical return loss and resonant frequency which are calculated by use of the equivalent transmission line model are in fairly good agreement with the experimental results.

Previous studies of reliable server assignment considered only to assign the same cost of server, that is, homogeneous servers. In this paper, we generally deal with reliable server assignment with different server costs, i.e., heterogeneous servers. We formulate this problem as a nonlinear integer programming mathematically. Our problem is defined as determining a deployment of heterogeneous servers to maximize a measure of service availability. We propose two metaheuristic algorithms (tabu search and particle swarm optimization) for solving the problem of reliable server assignment. From the computational results, we notice that our tabu search outstandingly outperforms particle swarm optimization for all test problems. In terms of solution quality and computing time, the proposed method is recommended as a promising metaheuristic for a kind of reliability optimization problems including reliable sever assignment and e-Navigation system.

Motivated by [Science in China (Ser. A Mathematics) 36 (2006), no. 7, 721?732], this article deals with the following discrete type BVP $\LARGE\left\{{{\;{\Delta}[{\phi}({\Delta}x(n))]\;+\;f(n,\;x(n\;+\;1),{\Delta}x(n),{\Delta}x(n + 1))\;=\;0,\;n\;{\in}\;[0,N],}}\\{\;{x(0)-{\sum}^m_{i=1}{\alpha}_ix(n_i) = A,}}\\{\;{x(N+2)-\;{\sum}^m_{i=1}{\beta}_ix(n_i)\;=\;B.}}\right.$ The sufficient conditions to guarantee the existence of at least three positive solutions of the above multi-point boundary value problem are established by using a new fixed point theorem obtained in [5]. An example is presented to illustrate the main result. It is the purpose of this paper to show that the approach to get positive solutions of BVPs by using multifixed-point theorems can be extended to treat nonhomogeneous BVPs. The emphasis is put on the nonlinear term f involved with the first order delta operator ${\Delta}$x(n).

This paper develops least-squares pseudo-spectral collocation methods for elliptic boundary value problems having interface conditions given by discontinuous coefficients and singular source term. From the discontinuities of coefficients and singular source term, we derive the interface conditions and then we impose such interface conditions to solution spaces. We define two types of discrete least-squares functionals summing discontinuous spectral norms of the residual equations over two sub-domains. In this paper, we show that the homogeneous least-squares functionals are equivalent to appropriate product norms and the proposed methods have the spectral convergence. Finally, we present some numerical results to provide evidences for analysis and spectral convergence of the proposed methods.

In this paper, we deal with a two-species chemotaxis-Stokes system with Lotka-Volterra competitive kinetics under homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in a general three-dimensional bounded domain with smooth boundary. Under appropriate regularity assumptions on the initial data, by some L^p-estimate techniques, we show that the system possesses at least one global and bounded weak solution, in addition to discussing the asymptotic behavior of the solutions. Our results generalizes and improves partial previously known ones.

This thesis is a result of theoretical and electrical experimental studies for the shape of Seepage on various Earth Dams. The decrement method of seepage through of water amount to earth Dam's was tested by means of experiment by the model constructed in the water tank. A study of the seepage through earth Dam's is necessary for a satisfactory of the same. An attempt was made in these investigations to study the problem of the seepage through homogeneous earth dams with filters located near the axis of the dam and filters extending in to upstream portion of the dam by the electrical analogy method. The experimental results were at variance with the graphical solution given by A Casagrande method. Some of the results were checked by relaxation method and by the circle criterion for drawing flow nets.

A radically new approach to the in situ synthesis of the consituent phases of a composite structure has enabled the production of a new WC/Co materials with an ultrafine microstructure. The process for synthesizing nanophase WC/Co powders consists of spray drying from solution to form a homogeneous precursor powder, and thermochemical conversion of the precursor powder to the nanophase WC/Co powder. Near theoretical density of pure nanophase WC-10 wt%Co has been obtained in only 30 sec at 140$0^{\circ}C$. But WC particles were grown up very rapidly with longer sintering time to get full density. To overcome coarsening of WC particle during sintering, VC, TaC and VC/TaC were used as the grain growth inhibitor with different amount respectively. VC/TaC doped WC-10 wt%Co was shown superior hardness and TRS and microstructure was maintained ultrafine scale (average WC size is less than 0.1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$).
