In this article, a novel propagation formulation of Rayleigh waves in a compressible isotropic half-space with impedance boundary condition is proposed by embedding the normal stress. In a two-dimensional case, it is assumed that a design boundary is free of normal traction and a shear traction depends on linearly a normal component of displacements multiplied by frequencies. Therefore, impedance boundary conditions affect the normal stress, where the impedance parameters correspond to dimensions of stresses over velocity. On the other hand, vanished impedance values are traction-free boundary conditions. The main purpose of this article is to present theoretically the existence and uniqueness of a Rayleigh wave formulation relying on secular equation's mathematical analyses. Its velocity varies along with the impedance parameters. Moreover, numerical experiments with different values for the velocity of Rayleigh waves are carried out. The present Rayleigh waves study is a fundamental step in analyzing the cause and effect of physical states such as building or structure damages resulting from natural dynamics. The results of the study generate a basic design formulation theory to test the effects of Rayleigh waves affecting structures when an earthquake occurs. The presence and uniqueness of the proposed formulation is verified by mutual comparisons of several numerical examples.

본 논문에서는 컬러영상에 존재하는 문자들을 효율적으로 추출하기 위한 새로운 접근 방법을 제안한다. 빛 또는 조명성분의 영향에 의해 획득된 영상 내에 존재하는 반사성분은 문자 또는 관심객체들의 경계가 모호해 지거나 관심객체와 배경이 서로 혼합 되었을 경우, 문자추출 및 인식을 함에 있어서 오류를 포함시킬 수 있다. 따라서 영상 내에 존재하는 반사성분을 제거하기 위해 먼저. 컬러영상으로부터 Red컬러 성분에 해당하는 히스토그램에서 두개의 pick점을 검출한다. 이후 검출된 두 개의 pick점들 간의 분포를 사용하여 노말 또는 편광 영상에 해당하는지를 판별한다. 노말 영상의 경우 부가적인 처리를 거치지 않고 문자에 해당하는 영역을 검출하며, 편광 영상에 해당하는 경우 반사성분을 제거하기 위해 호모모픽필터링 방법을 적용하여 반사성분에 해당하는 영역을 제거한다. 이후 문자영역을 검출하기 위해 최적전역임계화방식을 적용하여 전경과 배경을 분리하였으며 문자영역 추출 및 인식의 성능을 향상시켰다. 널리 사용되고 있는 문자 인식기를 사용하여 제안한 방식 적용 전과 후의 인식결과를 비교하였다. 편광영상에서 제안된 방법 적용 후, 문자인식을 한 경우 인식률이 향상되었다.

In this study, multi-story structures are actively controlled using metaheuristic algorithms. The soil conditions such as dense, normal and soft soil are considered under near-fault ground motions consisting of two types of impulsive motions called directivity effect (fault normal component) and the flint step (fault parallel component). In the active tendon-controlled structure, Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) type controller optimized by the proposed algorithms was used to achieve a control signal and to produce a corresponding control force. As the novelty of the study, the parameters of PID controller were determined by different metaheuristic algorithms to find the best one for seismic structures. These algorithms are flower pollination algorithm (FPA), teaching learning based optimization (TLBO) and Jaya Algorithm (JA). Furthermore, since the influence of time delay on the structural responses is an important issue for active control systems, it should be considered in the optimization process and time domain analyses. The proposed method was applied for a 15-story structural model and the feasible results were found by limiting the maximum control force for the near-fault records defined in FEMA P-695. Finally, it was determined that the active control using metaheuristic algorithms optimally reduced the structural responses and can be applied for the buildings with the soil-structure interaction (SSI).

ISFRA (Integrated SFR Analysis Program for PSA) computer program has been developed for simulating the response of the PGSFR pool design with metal fuel during a severe accident. This paper describes validation of the ISFRA aerosol model against the Aerosol Behavior Code Validation and Evaluation (ABCOVE) experiments undertaken in 1980s for radionuclide transport within a SFR containment. ABCOVE AB5, AB6, and AB7 tests are simulated using the ISFRA aerosol model and the results are compared against the measured data as well as with the simulation results of the MELCOR severe accident code. It is revealed that the ISFRA prediction of single-component aerosols inside a vessel (AB5) is in good agreement with the experimental data as well as with the results of the aerosol model in MELCOR. Moreover, the ISFRA aerosol model can predict the "washout" phenomenon due to the interaction between two aerosol species (AB6) and two-component aerosols without strong mutual interference (AB7). Based on the theory review of the aerosol correlation technique, it is concluded that the ISFRA aerosol model can provide fast, stable calculations with reasonable accuracy for most of the cases unless the aerosol size distribution is strongly deformed from log-normal distribution.

This study investigated the antioxidant and yield properties of eight adzuki bean (Vigna angularis) cultivars under different mean temperature and sunshine hours in 2020 and 2021. The mean temperature in 2020 compared to 2021, which was normal, were lower during the pod extension and grain filling period. In addition, due to frequent rainfall during the vegetative perio d in 2020, there were fewer hours of sunshine compared to 2021. The Adzuki Bean yield in 2020 was about 13% lower than that in 2021 due to the decreased number of pods per plant and 100 seeds weight. The stability of yields was higher in 'Hongda' and 'Hongjin' than in 'Arari', which is the most cultivated in Korea. Also, the yields of these varieties were all higher than those of 'Arari' varieties for two years. Compared to 2021, in 2020, when weather conditions were not favorable, both antioxidant components and activity were higher. The cultivar 'Hongda' was a higher antioxidant component and activity than others for two years. The results suggested that the antioxidant component and activity were good in 2020 with about 13% decrease in yield compared to a normal year in 2021 due to mean temperature and sunshine hours.

Paleomagnetic data have been obtained from the Upper Carboniferous-Permian Komok and Cheolam Groups which are exposed in the E-W trending Baekunsan syncline comprising the Pyongan Supergroup in eastern Korea. Two ancient components of magnetization are recovered in these groups by detailed thermal demagnetization: a post-folding component and a pre-folding component. The post-folding component $(D/I=54.0/54.6^{\circ},\;{\alpha}_{95}=14.6^{\circ})$ is a magnetic signature of the Oaebo Orogeny and appears to have been confined mainly to Cretaceous Normal Superchron. It has been rotated clockwise since this magnetization has been acquired. The pre-folding components ($D/I=341/-9.2^{\circ},\;{\alpha}_{95}=7.2^{\circ})$, paleopole at $335.7^{\circ}E$, $44.6^{\circ}N$ for Upper Carboniferous; $D/I=358.3/11.5^{\circ},\;{\alpha}_{95}=6.3^{\circ})$, paleopole at $311.9^{\circ}E$, $58.7^{\circ}N$ for Permian) pass fold and reversal tests. These paleopoles correspond only with the contemporaneous poles from the North China Block: they are removed from the poles from the South China Block. If the results of this study are corrected for the clockwise rotation deduced from the prefolding component, the enhanced agreement with North China Block can be achieved. Therefore, a first-order correlation between the Korean Peninsula and North China at least since Upper Paleozoic times is identified in this study.

Paleomagnetic data have been obtained from the Lower Triassic Tonggo formation which is exposed in the E-W trending Baekunsan syncline comprising the Pyongan Supergroup in eastern Korea. Two ancient components of magnetization are recovered in this formation by detailed thermal demagnetization: a post-folding component and a pre-folding component The post-folding component ($D/I=58.8/55.5^{\circ}$) is normally magnetized and appears to acquire in the Cretaceous Normal Superchron. It is a magnetic signature of the Daebo Orogeny and has been rotated clockwise since this magnetization has been acquired, in common with the main synclinal axis. The pre-folding component ($D/I=1.1/19.4^{\circ}$, Paleopole at $306.1^{\circ}E$, $63.2^{\circ}N$) passes fold and reversal tests and is inferred to be a post-depositional or early chemical diagenetic remanence of Lower-Middle Triassic age. This paleopole corresponds only with the Lower Triassic poles from the North China Block: it is removed from the contemporary poles from the South China Block. If the result of this study is corrected for the clockwise rotation deduced from the Cretaceous overprint, the enhanced agreement with the Lower Triassic poles from the North China block can be achieved. Therefore, a first order correlation between the Korean Peninsula and North China at least since Lower Triassic times is identified in this study.

In this paper, probabilistic distribution of fatigue life of chassis component is determined statistically by applying the design of experiments and the Pearson system. To construct $p-\varepsilon-N$ curve, the case that fatigue data are random variables is attempted. Probabilistic density function(p.d.f) for fatigue life is obtained by design of experiment and using this p.d.f fatigue reliability about any aimed fatigue life can be calculated. Lower control arm and rear torsion bar of chassis component are selected as examples for analysis. Component load histories, which are obtained by multi-body dynamic simulation for Belsian load history, are used. Finite element analysis are performed using commercial software MSC Nastran and fatigue analysis are performed using FE Fatigue. When strain-life curve itself is random variable, probability density function of fatigue life has very little difference from log-normal distribution. And the case of fatigue data are random variables, probability density functions are approximated to Beta distribution. Each p.d.f is verified by Monte-Carlo simulation.

The evaporation characteristics of single and multicomponent droplets hanging at the tip of a quartz fiber are studied experimentally at the different environmental conditions under normal gravity. Heptane and Hexadecane are selected as two fuels with different evaporation rates and boiling temperatures. At the first step, the evaporation of single component droplet of both fuels has been examined separately. At the next step the evaporation of several blends of these two fuels, as a binary component droplet, has been studied. The temperature and pressure range is selected between 400 and 700 $^{\circ}C$, and 0.1 and 2.5 MPa, respectively. High temperature environment has been provided by a falling electrical furnace. The initial diameter of droplet was in range of 1.1 and 1.3 mm. The evaporation process was recorded by a high speed CCD camera. The results of binary droplet evaporation show the three staged evaporation. In the the first stage the more volatile component evaporates. The droplet temperature rises after an almost non evaporating period and in the third stage a quasi linear evaporation takes place. The evaporation of the binary droplet at low pressure is accompanied with bubble formation and droplet fragmentation and leads to incomplete microexplosion. The component concentration affects the evaporation behavior of the first two stages. The bubble formation and droplet distortion does not appear at high environment pressure. Nomenclature
