Multiple slab waveguides are analyzed by using the transfer matrix method and by introducing a virtual leaky layer. It is shown that the analysis is conceptually equivalent to the prism coupling phenomenon. The Lorentzian function is made use of toobtain the eigenvalues of multiple waveguides. Computer simulations are performed onsingle layered, double layered wavegurdes. The calculation results are confirmed to agree well with those of the finite difference method.

Leaky aquifer (two-aquifer) system in this study consist of an upper unconfined and a lower confined aquifer with a leaky layer between them. It is assumed that water is withdrawn from the confined aquifer of the aquifer system, the upper unconfined aquifer will be affected by the leaky aquifer separating the upper and lower aquifer. In order to analyze the leaky aquifer, the determination of hydraulic parameters is needed. In this paper, hydraulic parameters are suggested by improved SM (slope-matching) method. To know variation of groundwater head in leaky aquifer systems, an numerical scheme is made using the finite difference method. To verify the numerical scheme, its solution is compared to analytical one. The solution of them agrees well in one-dimensional system at steady-state condition. And heads of groundwader are computed upper and lower aquifer in two-dimensional system.

In this paper, a temporally adaptive layered image sequence coding technique employing H.261 is proposed. In the proposed technique, the frame rate of the base layer is adjusted according to the temporal activity measure based on the rate-distortion function. The base layer is encoded using the H.261. Then, the full frame-rate error image is formed by comparing the original image and the interpolated version of the reconstructed base layer image. The enhancement layer is algo encoded using H.261 but with leaky prdiction to provide robust error resilience. The simulation results show that the proposed technique provides better performance than the twin-H.261 with leaky prediction in both the fixed-rate and variable-rate systems.

The characterization of adhesive property in multi-layer materials has been hot issue for a long time. In order to evaluate adhesive properties, we constructed fully automated system for the backward radiation of leaky Lamb wave. The backward radiation profiles were obtained for the bare steel plate and plates with rubber-loading. The rf waveforms and frequency spectra of backward radiation show the characteristics of involved leaky Lamb wave modes. As the thickness of rubber-loading increased, the amplitude of profile at the incident angle of $13.4^{\circ}$ exponentially decreased. Scanning the incident position over the partially rubber-loaded specimen shows good agreement with the actual rubber-loading. The backward radiation of leaky Lamb wave has great potential to evaluate the adhesive condition as well as material properties of plates.

Ultrasonic backscattering profiles of the Zr plates(with a thickness of 1.32mm) with/without Be-Zr alloy layer(with a thickness of $100{\mu}m$) were measured at various incidence positions to evaluate the characteristics of Be diffusion layer. Four principal subprofiles were observed in the backward ultrasound radiated from leaky Lamb waves. The angles and the intensities of the subprofile peaks decreased by the stiffening effect of Be layer. Generation and change of the subprofiles were explained by the acoustical property, collective group velocity and leaky factor difference of the plates under consideration. Backward radiation subprofiles turned out to be an useful method for evaluating thin diffusion layers on plates.

Electromagnetic scattering by finite number of conducting strips loaded on a grounded dielectric is considered for the TM polarization case from the viewpoints of transmitting(receiving) leaky wave antenna and grating coupler. An integro-differential equation whose unknowns are the induced currents over the strips is derived and solved by use of the method of moments. In order to construct the non-uniform leaky wave structures with specific source(current) distributions over the strips, distances between two adjacent strips and strip width are simultaneously varied along the structure. From some results for the current distributions over the strips and surface wave powers, it is observed that the maximum coupling efficiencies of the appropriately constructed non-uniform leaky wave structures from the viewpoints of both a receiving leaky wave antenna and a grating coupler amount upto 95%, which are about 15% improvements compared with those(80%) of the uniform structures.

The multi-aquifer system separated by semipervious leaky beds was analyzed. The finite difference scheme of the Crank-Nicolson method is applied to obtain the solution for this system. The solution of this scheme was compared with the analytical solution for two-layer aquifer systems with one-dimensional steady state. The results showed a good agreement between analytical and numerical solution for two-layer aquifer systems. So, the numerical scheme can be extended to multi-aquifer system. When the pumping is tried for single or multi aquifer, the computation of the groundwater heads was possible for each aquifer in the multi-aquifer with two-dimensional system. So, it might be helpful for the effective groundwater management.

Some applications require structural health monitoring in inaccessible components. This paper presents a technique useful for Structural Health Monitoring of double wall structures, such as double wall steam pipes and double wall pressure vessels separated from an ultrasonic transducer by three layers. Detection has been demonstrated at distances in excess of one meter for a fixed transducer. The case presented here is for one of the layers, the middle layer, being a fluid. For certain transducer configurations the wave propagating in the fluid is a wave with low velocity and attenuation. The paper presents a model based on wave theory and finite element simulation; the experimental set-up and observations, and comparison between theory and experiment. The results provide a description of the technique, understanding of the phenomenon and its possible applications in Structural Health Monitoring.

An electric field due to point dipole within conductor-backed thin dielectric layer above the earth is calculated by using saddle point method When the dielectric layer is thin enough to support a cutoff mdoe, we show that the field may be approximated by sum of contributions of branch points of TE mode and poles of tM mode and that the branch points and poles contributions are interpreted as an evanescent lateral waves and leaky waves, respectively.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the stream depletion from groundwater pumping in deep aquifer using the Ward and Lough's analytical solution (2011) which considers a two-layer leaky aquifer system. The calculated results for each pumping from the 110 wells beside streams showed a wide range of non-dimensional stream depletion, that is the streamflow depletion rate divided by the groundwater pumping rate, from lower than 0.1 to more than 0.9 on average for 5 years depending on the specific properties of well location. From the comparison with Hunt's solution (1999) of a single layer aquifer, the Ward and Lough's solution showed about 50% lower than the Hunt's solution due to the difference of hydraulic properties between the first and second layers as well as the lagged effect of vertical leakance. It was also found that the groundwater pumping has a minor effect on the stream depletion if the stream depletion factor (SDF) of the 1st layer is higher than about 1,000 or the SDF of the 2nd layer is higher than about 100, or the vertical leakance is smaller than $10^{-5}s^{-1}$. Furthermore, in the present study, the variations of the stream depletion were assessed according to the magnitude of unmeasured hydraulic properties such as transmissivity and storage coefficient of the 1st layer, vertical hydraulic conductivity of the 2nd layer, the streambed hydraulic conductance.
