Based on the transfer-matrix method (TMM), we report the characteristics of the interface states in one-dimensional (1D) composite structures consisting of two photonic crystals (PCs) composed of binary dielectrics A and B, with unit-cell configurations ABA (PC I) and BAB (PC II). The dependence of the interface states on the number of unit cells N and the boundary factor x are displayed. It is verified that the interface states are independent of N when the PC has inversion symmetry (x = 0.5). Besides, the composite structures support the formation of interface states independent of the PC symmetry, except that the positions of the interface states will be varied within the photonic band gaps. Moreover, the robustness of the interface states against nonuniformities is investigated by adding Gaussian noise to the layer thickness. In the case of inversion symmetry (x = 0.5) the most robust interface states are achieved, while for the other cases (x ≠ 0.5) interface states decay linearly with position inside the band gap. This work could shed light on the development of robust photonic devices.

This paper designs and implements a message passing library called JMPI (Java Message Passing Interface) which complies with MPJ (Message Passing in Java), the MPI standard Specification for Java language, This library provides some graphic user interface tools to enable parallel computing environments to be configured very simply by their administrators and JMPI applications to be executed very conveniently. Also in this paper, we implement two versions of systems using Socket and RPC which are both typical distributed system communication mechanisms and with three benchmark applications, compare performance of these systems with that of an existing system JPVM depending on the increasing number of the computers. Experimental results show that our systems outperform JPVM system in terms of various aspects and that the most efficient processing speedup can be obtained by increasing the number of the computers in consideration of network traffic through processing evaluation. Finally, we can see that, as the number of computers increases, using RMI to transmit a message is more effective than using object streams attached to sockets to transmit a message.

The paper presents experimental results of Partial Discharge(PD) in Gas Insulated Switchgear(GIS), obtained using a computer-aided PD measurement system. Different discharge sources are simulated and identified. These included internal, interface, surface and protrusion. For internal discharge, it showed symmetrical discharge type between positive and negative cycle. Interface discharge showed smaller number and higher peak than internal discharge but symmetrical discharge as well. For surface discharge, it showed small number and high peak in positive half cycle but large number and low peak in negative half cycle. For protrusion discharge, small number and high peak of discharge were shown only in negative half cycle.

Effective visualizing is an important issue when one processing real number domain volume data such as distance fields, or volume texture. In this paper, we introduce a framework for inspecting, magnifying, cross-section viewing of real number domain volume data from an implementation of a simple interface. The interface can be freely implemented from any kind of existing algorithm, so that we can easily view the result and evaluate the algorithm.

Behaviour of soil nailed walls in Korea has been analysed based on a number of field measurements. The investigation has included interface shear strength development at the nail-soil interface from pull-out tests, lateral ground displacements, tensile force distributions along soil nails and mobilised interface shear stress distributions. Insights into the soil nailed wall behaviour based on the shear transfer mechanism at the soil-nail interface and partial mobilisations of the interface shear strength, governed by relative shear displacement, are reported and discussed. It is expected that results from the current research can provide relevant parameters required for preliminary design of soil nailed walls in Korea.

The boundary element method was used for studying singularities of an interface crack with contact zones. The iterative procedure is applied to estimate the contact zone size. Because the contact zone size was extremely small in a tension field, a large number of Gaussian points were used for numerical integration of the Kernels. Stress extrapolation method and J-integral were used ofr determining stress intensity factors. When the interface crack was assumed to have opened tips, oscillatory singularities appear near the tips of the interface crack. But the interface crack with contact zone which Comninou suggested had no oscillatory behavior. The contact zone size under shear loading was much larger than that under tensile. The stress intensity factors computed by stress extrapolation method were close to those of Comninou's solution. And the stress intensity factor evaluated by J-integral was similar to that by stress extrapolation method.

This paper proposes a modified matched interface and boundary (MMIB) method to analyze the free vibration of beams with various interfaces caused by steps, intermediate rigid and elastic supports, intermediate concentrated masses and spring-mass systems, etc. A new strategy is developed to determine the parameters in the iterative computation of MMIB. The MMIB procedures are established to deal with boundary conditions and various interface conditions, which overcomes the shortcoming of the traditional MIB. A number of examples are utilized to illustrate the performance of MMIB method. Numerical results indicate that the MMIB method is a highly accurate and convergent approach for solving interface problems.

AiPi technology incorporates an embedded clock and control scheme with a point-to-point bus topology, thereby having the smallest possible number of interface lines between a timing controller and column drivers. A point-to-point architecture boosts the data rate and reduces the number of interface lines, because impedance matching can be easily achieved. An embedded clock and control scheme is implemented by means of multi-level signalling, which results in a simple clock/data recovery circuitry. A 46" AiPi-based 10-bit FHD prototype requires only 20 interface lines, compared to 38 lines for mini-LVDS. The measured maximum data rate per data pair is more than 800 Mbps.

In this study the deformation of liquid-air interface of Newtonian or Boger fluids filled between two par­allel-plates geometry was investigated when two surfaces were separated at a constant speed. The interface between the fluid and air showed either stable or unstable deformation depending on experimental con­ditions. Repeated experiments for a wide range of experimental conditions revealed that the deformation mode could be classified into three types: 'stable region', 'fingering' and 'cavitation'. The experimental condition for the mode of deformation was plotted in a capillary number vs. Deborah number phase plane. It has been found that the elasticity of Boger fluids destabilize the interface deformation. On the other hand, the elasticity suppresses the formation and growth of cavities.

Two-dimensional stagnation flow toward a plane wall coated with magnetic fluid of uniform thickness is investigated. The flow field is represented as a similarity solution of the Navier-Stokes equation for this incompressible laminar flow. The resulting third order ordinary differential equation is solved numerically by using the shooting method and by determining two shooting parameters so as to satisfy the boundary and interface conditions. Features of the flow including streamline patterns are investigated for the varying values of density ratio, viscosity ratio, and Reynolds number. An adverse flow with double eddy pair in magnetic fluid region is found to emerge as the Reynolds number becomes higher than a threshold value. The results for the interface velocity, interface and wall shear stress, and boundary layer and displacement thickness are also presented.
