In this paper, a new approach for cable layout design of pre-stressed concrete slabs is presented. To account the cable profile accurately, it is modelled by B-spline. Using the convex hull property of the B-spline, an efficient algorithm has been developed to obtain the cable layout for pre-stressed concrete slabs. For finite element computations, tendon and concrete are modelled by 3 noded bar and 20 noded brick elements respectively. The cable concrete interactions are precisely accounted using vector calculus formulae. Using the proposed technique a two way prestressed concrete slab has been successfully designed considering several design criteria.

Granular columns have recently found widespread use in underground construction. The behaviour of granular columns under vertical loads has been extensively studied, specifically in relation to vertical load capacity obtained by bulging of the column body, including the behaviour after encasement of material. Determining the shear strength of loose soils reinforced with granular columns has received less attention. After the observations of lateral deformation near the toe of the embankment, attempts have been made to strengthen the lateral strength of granular columns. The purpose of this research is to look into the effects of different encasement conditions on the lateral load capacity of granular columns. This was accomplished by three-dimensional finite element analysis with FEM software. Various normal pressures and two different encasement configurations, namely single layer encasement and double layer encasement, with differing tensile strengths, were used in this study to determine their effect on lateral resistance. The failure envelope for a single column planted in loose sand was used to analyse the findings for three different granular column diameters, as well as the impact of different encasement conditions. According to the findings, the inclusion of a Granular Column enhanced the shear strength and overall stiffness of the loose sand bed, and the encasement of the Granular Column helped in deriving higher lateral resistance.

Enhanced vertical load capacity of the ground reinforced with the stone columns drew great attention by the researchers as it deals with many of the geotechnical difficulties associated with the weak ground. Recently, it has been found that the stone columns are also prone to fail under the shear load when employed beneath the embankments or the foundations susceptible to lateral loads. In this study, the effect of various encasement conditions on the lateral deflection of stone columns is investigated. A method of dual layers of encasement has been introduced and its the effect on lateral load capacity of the stone columns has been compared with those of the single encased stone column and the un-encased stone columns. Large shear box tests were utilised to generate the shear deformation on the soil system under various normal pressure conditions. The stiffness of the soil-stone column combined system has been compared for various cases of encasement conditions with different diameters. When subjected to lateral deformation, the encased columns outperformed the un-encased stone columns installed in loose sand. Shear stress resistance is up to 1.7 times greater in dual-layered, encased columns than in unencased columns. Similarly, the secant modulus increases as the condition changes from an unencased stone column to single-layer encasement and then to dual-layer encasement, indicating an improvement in the overall soil-stone column system.

Cryptanalysis is very important step for auditing and checking strength of any cryptosystem. Some of these cryptosystem ensures confidentiality and security of large information exchange from source to destination using symmetric key cryptography. The cryptanalyst investigates the strengths and identifies weakness key as well as enciphering algorithm. With increase in key size the time and effort required to guess the correct key increases so trend is increase key size from 8, 16, 24, 32, 56, 64, 128 and 256 bits to strengthen the cryptosystem and thus algorithm continues without compromise on the cost of time and computation. Automatic Variable Key (AVK) approach is an alternative to the approach of fixing up key size and adding security level with key variability adds new dimension in the development of secure cryptosystem. Likewise, whenever any new cryptographic method is invented to replace per-existing vulnerable cryptographic method, its deep analysis from all perspectives (Hacker / Cryptanalyst as well as User) is desirable and proper study and evaluation of its performance is must. This work investigates AVK based cryptic techniques, in future to exploit benefits of advances in computational methods like ANN, GA, SI etc. These techniques for cryptanalysis are changing drastically to reduce cryptographic complexity. In this paper a detailed survey and direction of development work has been conducted. The work compares these new methods with state of art approaches and presents future scope and direction from the cryptic mining perspectives.

유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크 기술의 발전과 더불어 모바일 노드들 간의 통신에 대한 요구가 증가하고 있다. 기존 TCP를 MANET에 적용하였을 때, 링크의 단절, 경과의 재설정 및 네트워크 파티션 현상이 TCP로 하여금 혼잡으로 인식하게 한다. 그 결과, TCP는 성능저하를 보인다. 본 논문에서는 크로스레이어 디자인을 이용하여 MANET에 적합한 TCP를 설계하고 ns2로 분석하였다.

Sericin was modified by solution blending (10-30 wt%) with 70-90 wt% polyacrylamide (PAM) in water. The reactive sites of sericin such as serine and tyrosine were attached to PAM. Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance ($^{1}H-NMR$) and thermogravimetric analysis were used to characterize the modified sericin. The electrospinning conditions i.e. the blend composition and the power supply voltage, at a tip to target distance of 15 cm were studied. The morphology of nanoparticles and nanofibers was observed by scanning electron microscopy. The average particles size of the nanoparticle obtained was 191 nm and nanofibers was 150-300 nm.

Two different sources of clay, Na-Bentonite (Thai local clay) and Na-Montmorillonite were modified with Hexadodeccyltrimethyl ammonium bromide. The nanocomposites of polypropylene were successfully prepared via melt blending in a co-rotating twin screw extruder by using PP-g-MA as a compatibilizer at various contents of organoclays. The morphology of nanocomposites was investigated by using XRD and SEM. The results showed that the intercalated and exfoliated structures were obtained. The thermal behavior was also studied by using DSC and TGA. The degradation temperature of filled PP was greater than that of unfilled PP by 20%. And, the tensile strength and modulus were improved when a small amount of organoclays were added.

Na-bentonite (local clay mineral) and Na-montmorillonite were treated with quaternary alkylammonium cations. The effect of the molecular structure and functional groups of the surfactants on the organoclays was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD). For the preparation of nanocomposites, organoclays were melt-blended with polypropylene in a twin screw extruder and $Surlyn^{(R)$. ionomer was used as a reactive compatibilizer. The clay dispersions in the composites were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD). XRD spectra showed no peak at low angle indicated that the silicate clay layer has a nearly exfoliated dispersion in the polymer matrix. Thermal and mechanical properties of nanocomposites were higher than those of PP.

Due to excess reactivity, fresh nuclear fuel often contains burnable poisons. This research looks at six different burnable poisons and their impacts on reactivity, material attractiveness, and waste management. An MCNP simulation of a PWR fuel pin was performed with a fuel burnup of 60 GWd/MTHM to determine when each burnable poison fuel type would decrease below a k_∞ of 1. For determining the plutonium material attractiveness in each burnable poison fuel type, the plutonium isotopic content of the used fuel was evaluated using Bathke's Figure of Merit formula. For the waste management analysis, the thermal output of each burnable poison fuel type was determined through ORIGEN decay simulations at 100 and 300 years after being discharged from the core. The performance of all six burnable poisons varied over the three criteria considered and no single burnable poison performed best in all three considerations.

적심 및 rootone 처리가 고추 10품종의 발근력에 미치는 영향을 조사한 결과, 모두 정상적으로 발근되었으나 품종간에 큰 차이를 보였다. 즉 'Gukbo'와 'Chungyang' 등은 발근력이 낮은 반면, 대목 이용 가능성이 높은 'Geumsang' 등은 매우 높았다. 발근촉진제 rootone 처리는 모든 품종의 발근을 현저히 증가시켜 높은 실용성을 보여주었다. 또한 적심에 따른 발근 지연 현상은 rootone 처리로 거의 완벽하게 보완될 수 있었다. 선발된 대목 10품종과 접수 3품종을 적심과 IBA 단용 또는 병행처리 후 발근력을 검토한 결과, 대목 중에서는 'Tantan'이 가장 높았고, 'Konesian Hot'과 'Wonkwang 1호'도 높았다. 또한 공시된 10개 대목은 대면적에 일반재배 되는 품종인 'Manita', 'Chungyang', 'Nokkwang'보다 발근력이 높았다. IBA 처리는 발근력을 다소 향상시켰으나 rootone 처리에 비해 효과가 뚜렷하지 않았다.
