This study aims to determine the characteristics of concrete as identified by Rebound Hammer and Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) tests, focusing particularly on their efficacy in estimating compressive strength of concrete material. The study involved three concrete samples designed to achieve a target strength of 29 MPa, comprising normal concrete, instant concrete, and concrete with additives. These were cast into cube specimens measuring 150×150×150 mm. Compressive strength values were determined through both destructive and non-destructive testing on the cubic specimens. As a result, the non-destructive methods yielded varying outcomes for each correlation approach, influenced by the differing constituent materials in the tested concretes. However, normal concrete consistently showed the most reliable correlation, followed by concrete with additives, and lastly, instant concrete. The study found that combining Rebound Hammer and UPV tests enhances the prediction accuracy of compressive strength of concrete. This synergy was quantified through multivariate regression, considering UPV, rebound number, and actual compressive strength. The findings also suggest a more significant influence of the Rebound Hammer measurements on predicting compressive strength for BN and BA, whereas UPV and RN had a similar impact on predicting BI compressive strength.

One serious problem among the troubles to identify objects in an optical microscopic image is contour background due to non-uniform light source and various transparency of samples. To solve this problem, this paper proposed an elimination method of the contour background and compensation technique as follows. First, Otsu's optimal thresholding method extracts pixels representing background. Second, bilinear interpolation finds non-deterministic background pixels among the sampled pixels. Third, the 2D cubic fitting method composes surface function from pivoted background pixels. Fourth, reconstruction procedure makes a contour image from the surface function. Finally, elimination procedure subtracts the approximated background from the original image. To prove the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, this algorithm is applied to the yeast Zygosaccharomyces rouxii and ammonia-oxidizing bacteria Acinetobacter sp. Labeling by this proposed method can remove some noise and is more exact than labeling by only Otsu's method. Futhermore, we show that it is more effective for the reduction of noise.

The smoke filling process for the atrium space containing a fire source is simulated using two types of deterministic fire model : Zone model and Field model. The zone model used is the CFAST(version 1.6) model developed at the Building and Fire Research Laboratories, NIST in the USA. The field model is a self-developed frie field model based on Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) theories. This article is focused on finding out the smoke movement and temperature distribution in atrium space which is cubic in shape. For solving the liked set of velocity and pressure equation, the PISO algorithm, which strengthened the velocity-pressure coupling, was used. Since PISO algorithm is a time-marching procedure, computing time si very fast. A computational procedure for predicting velocity and temperature distribution in fire-induced flow is based on the solution, in finite volume method and non-staggered grid system, of 3-dimensional equations for the conservation of mass, momentum, energy, species and so forth. The fire model i.e Zone model and Field model predicted similar results for clear heights and the smoke layer temperature.

Focusing on both small separations and baryonic acoustic oscillation scales, the cosmic evolution of the clustering properties of peak, void, wall, and filament-type critical points is measured using two-point correlation functions in ΛCDM dark matter simulations as a function of their relative rarity. A qualitative comparison to the corresponding theory for Gaussian random fields allows us to understand the following observed features: (i) the appearance of an exclusion zone at small separation, whose size depends both on rarity and signature (i.e. the number of negative eigenvalues) of the critical points involved; (ii) the amplification of the baryonic acoustic oscillation bump with rarity and its reversal for cross-correlations involving negatively biased critical points; (iii) the orientation-dependent small-separation divergence of the cross-correlations of peaks and filaments (respectively voids and walls) that reflects the relative loci of such points in the filament's (respectively wall's) eigenframe. The (cross-) correlations involving the most non-linear critical points (peaks, voids) display significant variation with redshift, while those involving less non-linear critical points seem mostly insensitive to redshift evolution, which should prove advantageous to model. The ratios of distances to the maxima of the peak-to-wall and peak-to-void over that of the peak-to-filament cross-correlation are ~2-√~2 and ~3-√~3WJ, respectively, which could be interpreted as the cosmic crystal being on average close to a cubic lattice. The insensitivity to redshift evolution suggests that the absolute and relative clustering of critical points could become a topologically robust alternative to standard clustering techniques when analysing upcoming surveys such as Euclid or Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST).

To increase the mechanical property of zirconia, we have investigated the phase change and the resulting hardness of zirconia ceramics by hydroxyapatite (HA) powder bed sintering. It was observed using X-ray diffraction that the cubic zirconia phase, which has a higher hardness value than that of the tetragonal phase, was obtained at the surface of 3 mol% $Y_2O_3$ doped tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (3Y-TZP) ceramics during the sintering process; in our experimental conditions, the phase change at the surface increased as the sintering time increased. We believe that the observed crystalline phase change originated from the decomposition of HA and the diffusion of CaO, as follows. CaO, which was derived from the decomposition of HA at high temperature ($1400^{\circ}C$), diffused into the surface of 3Y-TZP and acted as a stabilizer. As a result, the Vickers hardness value of the treated specimens was higher than that of the non-treated specimen due to the formation of the cubic phase on the surface of 3Y-TZP.

While a Study with regard to the measurement on Concrete Strength and the Change of Drying Shrinkage in accordace with Content Ratio of Crushed Stone Powder, it is being analyzed as the result that the strength according to Content Ratio of crushed Stone Powder is somewhat lowering. Accordingly, it is the real situation that the Concrete mixed with Crushed Stone Powder is utilized for non-structural material, not for the structural material. Therefore, this Research willing to furnish the suitable utilizing scheme for construction site as well as practical life by means of conduct the experiment on both Concrete Pressure Strength according to mixture with Crushed Stone Powder and Elastic Modulus, it also presumes the optimum Elastic Modulus Equation after analysis of comparison with common concrete strength. As the result of the experiment, in case of the Content Ratio of Crushed Stone Powder is less than 5%, it did not display a big difference in its both strength and matter-property compare with common concrete. In case of Elastic Modulus, when the Pressure Strength is 50% and 40% respectively, the Elastic Modulus Equation accords very well with the provided condition of Quadratic function, and as the result of the Presumption on Elastic Modulus according to Content of Crushed Stone Powder, in case the Pressure Strength is 50%, Elastic Modulus Equation showed that Error Ratio of Cubic function is at degree of 0.0005%, in case the Pressure Strength is 40%, Elastic Modulus Equation was accorded well with the value of the experimental data likely as the Error Ratio of Cubic function is at the degree around 0.0034%, respectively.

교류 구동 분산형 EL(ACPEL)에 사용되는 ZnS:Cu 청색 형광체를 고상 반응법으로 제조하였다. 1차 소성 후 인위적 결함을 형광체 표면에 도입함으로서 2차 소성 중에 의해 일어나는 ZnS의 상전이 및 EL 발광 휘도에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 즉 1차 소성된 형광체를 ball-mill 공정에서 인위적으로 표면에 defect를 형성시켜 ZnS의 저온상인 cubic으로의 전이가 용이하게 하여 EL구동하에서 발광 휘도를 증가시켰다. Ball-mill의 공정 변수로는 milling 시간과 rpm 등을 고려하여 각 조건에 따른 효과를 고찰하였으며, 발광 spectrum을 측정한 결과, 최적 조건에서 인위적인 결함을 형성하지 않은 형광체 보다 발광 휘도가 약 30% 이상 증가하였다. 또한 각기 다른 ball-mill 조건으로 합성된 형광체의 결정상을 분석하고 비교하였으며 상전이 특성에 따른 발광 휘도 변화를 고찰하였다.

본 논문에서는 group delay가 위성 통신 시스템에 미치는 영향을 분석한다. 일정한 상수가 아닌 group delay에서는 신호의 위상 왜곡이 발생한다. Group delay는 특성에 따라 linear, parabolic, cubic으로 모델링할 수 있다. 각각의 group delay 특성을 위성통신 시스템에 적용하여 BER(bit error rate)을 분석한다. Group delay는 신호의 대역폭이 커질수록 신호에 미치는 영향이 커지는 특성을 갖고 있으며, 위성 통신 시스템의 정보 전송속도가 1Mbps, 4Mbps, 8Mbps 의 세 가지인 경우에 대하여 BER을 분석한다. 이때 channel coding으로는 구속장이 7이고, code rate 1/2인 convolution coding과 7/8 punctured convolution coding 를 이용한다. BER = $10^{-5}$을 만족하는 요구 SNR을 관찰하였을 때, group delay의 영향을 받는 데이터는 group delay의 영향을 받지 않은 데이터에 비해 요구 SNR은 최소 0.3㏈에서 최대 4.4㏈으로 증가한다. 이들 중 group delay에 의한 영향이 가장 큰 경우는 group delay의 특성이 linear 특성이고 channel coding이 7/8 puncture convolution coding, 전송속도가 8 Mbps인 경우로서 이때 요구 SNR은 4.4㏈증가한다.

지금까지 토공량계산을 위한 많은 방법들이 단순식에서부터 복잡한 방법으로 개발되어 왔다. 일찍이 토공량계산을 위한 기본적인 방법은 상부면적을 x, y방향으로 뻗은 경계선의 사각격자로 나누어 계산한다. 그러나 이들 방법은 많은 측량현장에서 요구되는 토공량견적을 정확하게 계산할 수 없다. 1998년 Easa는 x, y 각 방향으로 같은 선상을 따라 사각격자를 나누었다. 이 방법은 격자 양방향으로 3차의 Hermite 다항식을 이용하였다. 이것은 반드시 동일한 x, y방향의 경계를 따라 표고데이터가 존재해야 하므로 지형의 최대, 최소점 같은 점의 선택을 불가능하게 한다. 이 연구에서 제시된 토공량 계산법은 Easa(1998)방법의 단점을 피하고 장점을 결합시켰다. 제안된 방법은 가로x, 세로y 방향의 각 경계를 따라 3차의 Hermite 다항식을 이용하지만 각각의 부등간격의 격자는 양방향으로 일정하지 않고 부분적으로 비격자형태로 이루어져 있다. 새롭게 제시된 방법은 다른 재래식 방법보다 더 나은 정확도를 제공한다.
