  • Although the relation of caregiving burden to well-being has been frequently examined, the effect of caregiving on marital quality has been virtually ignored. The current study explores the impact of parent care on the marriages of adult children by using a nationally representative longitudinal sample. It was hypothesized that parent care would negatively influence the marital quality of adult child caregivers, the effect of parent care would differ between women and men caregivers, and the nature of marital relationship variables would moderate or mediate the impact of care on marital quality. Overall, marital quality does not appear to suffer if caregiving load is light. However, the impact of parental caregiving on some dimensions of marital quality was conditioned by gender, gender role attitudes, and congruence between attitudes and behavior.

  • 시간표현은 문장에서 다른 명사와 결합하여 복합어를 이루는 경우가 있고, 용언과 결합하여 시간 부사의 역할을 하는 경우가 있는데, 이는 구문 분석에 있어서 중의적 해석이 두드러지며, 그 결과 구문 분석의 오류를 빈번히 야기하기도 한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 시간 관계의 표현을 대량의 말뭉치로부터 획득하고 이들을 부분문법(local grammar)으로 표현한 후, 이것을 FST(Finite State Transducer)를 이용하여 부분 구문분석을 하고자 한다. 이를 위해 5천만 어절의 말뭉치에서 259개의 시간 단어를 추출하였고, 시간 단어들의 의미적 또는 기능적 사용에 의해서 26개의 어휘 범주로 분류하고 각 범주들의 결합관계를 일반화하였다. 실험을 통하여 인식을 위한 시간표현의 결합관계는 최고 97.2%의 정확률을 보였고, 품사태깅에 있어서는 평균 96.8%의 정확률을 보였다. 이는 시간 표현의 결합관계가 부분 구문분석에 있어서 유용한 정보임을 보여준다.

  • This paper presents a methodology to enable the tolerances on mating parts of an assembly to be specified and be compatible to the precision of an assembly robot so as to achieve maximum system performance. The measure of performance is defined as the Probability of Successful Assembly (PSA). A typical loose fastener assembly, usually called peg-in-a-hole is investigated. The Geometric Tolerancing System is adopted to represent position tolerances of mating parts. Two models are presented by considering modifiers on a position tolerance, Regardless of Feature Size (RFS) and Maximum Material Condition (MMC). Using these models, it is analyzed how the Standard Limits and Fits recommended by ANSI influence the performance of an assembly robot. For this analysis, the Standard Limits and Fits are transformed to the representation scheme of the Geometric Tolerancing System. Due to low PSAs when the Standard Limits and Fits are taken into account, the effect of chamfers around a hole is also analyzed.

  • Casein micelles are the basic building block of rennet-induced gels. The stiffness of these gels is increased with reaction time. This is probably due to the continuous participation of activated casein micelles into growing network. Dual binding model of casein micelles, which explains assembly of casein and colloidal calcium phosphate, can provides fairly reasonable explanation for the changes in mechanical properties of rennet-induced gels made from different milk pHs and varying colloidal calcium phosphates. The changes in stiffness of these gels would be used for controlling textural properties of cheeses.

  • A series of computational simulations have been carried out for supersonic flows in a scram jet engine with and without a cavity. Transverse injection of hydrogen, a simplest form of fuel supply, is considered in the present study with the injection pressure varying from 0.5 to 1.5 MPa. The corresponding equivalence ratios are 0.167 - 0.50. The work features detailed resolution of the flow dynamics in the combustor, which was not typically available in most of the Previous studies. In particular, oscillatory flow characteristics are captured at a scale sufficient to identify the underlying physical mechanisms. Much of the flow unsteadiness is related not only to the cavity, but also to the intrinsic unsteadiness in the flowfield. The interactions between shock waves and shear layer may cause a large excursion of flow oscillation. The role of the cavity and injection pressure are examined systematically.

  • This study examines the influence of curved, steel, I-girder bridge configuration on girder end reactions and cross frame member forces during seismic events. Simply-supported bridge finite element models were created and examined under seismic events mimicking what could be experienced in AASHTO Seismic Zone 2. Bridges were analyzed using practical ranges of: radius of curvature; girder and cross frame spacings; and lateral bracing configuration. Results from the study indicated that: (1) radius of curvature had the greatest influence on seismic response; (2) interior (lowest radius) girder reactions were heavily influenced by parameter variations and, in certain instances, uplift at their bearings could be a concern; (3) vertical excitation more heavily influenced bearing and cross frame seismic response; and (4) lateral bracing helped reduce seismic effects but using bracing along the entire span did not provide additional benefit over placing bracing only in bays adjacent to the supports.

  • A numerical analysis has been conducted to study the transient flowfield during the transition from the booster to sustainer phase in an integrated rocket ramjet (IRR) propulsion system. Emphasis is placed on the unsteady inlet aerodynamics, fuel/air mixing in an entire ramjet engine during the flow transient phase. The computational geometry consists of the entire IRR engine, including the inlet, the combustion chamber, and the exhaust nozzle. Turbulence closure is achieved using a low-Reynolds-number two-equation model. The governing equations are solved numerically by means of a finite-volume, preconditioned flux-differencing scheme over a wide range of Mach umber. Various important physical processes are investigated systemically, including terminal shock train.

  • Both the resonance and ultrasonic techniques are standard methods far characterizing the physical properties of piezoelectric materials. However, we found that each technique can only offer a few reliable measurements while the rest often have errors or impossible to implement because of the sample requirements. This paper show that one can use the combination of both techniques to achieve much better accuracy and be able to get the complete set of elastic, dielectric and piezoelectric coefficients using fewer samples. Using an ultrasonic spectroscopy we have also measure the dispersion of the ultrasonic velocity and the attenuation up to 65 MHz. Pb(Zr,Ti)O$_3$[PZT] ceramics were used as examples fur both studies.

  • 조립 라인의 평형 정도와 생산성 향상 가능성을 분석하기 위해 MTM 기법이 적용되었다. 포니 자동차의 변속기 조립 라인의 실제 사례 연구를 통해 가장 많은 작업량이 있는 애로 공정이 MTM 자료에 기준하여 127% 효율로 작업되고 보통공정이 102% 효율로 작업되는 것이 조사되었다. 이는 이 라인의 능률이 양호하다는 것을 보여 주고 같은 수의 작업자로 두배까지의 생산량 증가라는 현 관리자의 희망대로 될 수 없다는 것을 보여 준다. 더욱 많은 생산량을 원한다면 더 많은 작업자를 투입해야 할 것이고 만약 작다면 더 적은 작업자로 더 많고 균형된 작업량을 할당하는 것이 필요할 것이다. MTM 분석중 여러가지 방법 개선점이 지적되었고 이는 작업 사이클당 육체적 노력을 증가시키지 않은 상태에서 표준 시간의 감소와 작업량의 증가를 의미하는 것이다.

  • This paper presents an allocation model of test times of software modules. An evaluation measure of modules which is based on the data flow path between modules is used at test phase. An evaluation measure is expressed by the possible path number of data flow for each module, which can be interpreted as an importance of individual module. Three criteria : module test time, module reliability, and system reliability is considered in this model. Multi-objective programming, hence, is used to solve this model.
