The objective of the present research is to develop a wavelet-based multiscale adaptive Galerkin method for membrane eigenvalue analysis. Since approximate eigensolutions at a certain resolution level can be good guesses, which play an important role in typical iterative solvers, at the next resolution level, the multiresolution iterative solution approach by wavelets can improve the solutionconvergence rate substantially. The intrinsic difference checking nature of wavelets can be also utilized effectively to develop an adaptive strategy. The present wavelet-based approach will be implemented for the simplest vector iteration method, but some important aspects, such as convergence speedup, and the reduction in the number of nodes can be clearly demonstrated.

Construction safety should be considered prior to any other factors to execute construction projects smoothly and reduce the social expenses. Especially, the safety education is very important to the lives of labors and to control the four resources such as time, money, quality and safety. On this research, the present situation and related regulations of safety education are reviewed and the education contents and realities of the safety empirical education places are surveyed. Also questionnaire to education lecturers is performed to understand the satisfaction level of the education programs of the education places. Finally, the improvement directions are suggested to inspire trainees based on the results of the research.

In the present study the whole plant of Ammania baccifera Linn was extracted with petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate and ethanol. The extracts were vacuum dried to yield the respective petroleum ether (PEE), chloroform (CE), ethyl acetate (EAE) and ethanol extracts (EE). PEE, CE, EAE and EE were evaluated for their antipyretic and diuretic activity at 200 mg/kg dose level. Significant antipyretic activity was associated with PEE, CE, EAE and EE. CE was found to exhibit higher antipyretic activity as paracetamol at 100 mg/kg dose level. Significant diuretic activity was exhibited by EAE, EE and PEE. The present study supports the claims of Ammania baccifera mentioned in the Indian system of medicine.

Due to the large size and high complexity of modern buildings, the interest and the studies about indoor spatial information are increasing. Previous studies related to indoor spatial information were mostly about relevant technologies, and the application of indoor spatial information has been less studied. In the present study, the public administrative work areas where indoor spatial information may be applied were identified by using a modified delphi technique. And the indoor LOD (Level of Detail) and indoor positioning accuracy for indoor spatial information applications considering user requirements was established as standards for efficiently establishing and providing services. The required LOD and positioning accuracy for services was established by reestablishing indoor LOD and positioning accuracy and classifying services with reference to those. The indoor LOD was reestablished from LOD 0 to 4 by focusing on service utilization and general recognition, and the positioning accuracy was reestablished in three levels by considering the accuracy of the present positioning technology and service utilization status.

In this paper, we have presented a test- ing method for a kind of asynchronous circuits. Tar- get circuit model is the 3D machine that is one of the most successful implementation of extended burst-mode (XBM) machines. We present a high-level test generation method for the 3D machine using the specification of the circuit. We also present a gate-level test pattern generation method using a synchronous test pattern generator. Experimental results show that the combination of the above two methods achieves high fault coverage over 3D machines and saves test generation time.

The creep deformation behavior of AZ31 magnesium alloy was examined in the temperature range from 573 to 673K (0.62 to 0.73 Tm) under various constant stresses covering low strain rate range from $4{\times}10^{-9}\;s^{-1}$ to $2{\times}10^{-2}\;s^{-1}$. At low stress level, the stress exponent for the steady-state creep rate was ~3 and the present results were in good agreement with the prediction of Takeuchi and Argon model. At high stress level, the stress exponent was ~5 and the present results were in good agreement with the prediction of Weertman model. The transition of deformation mechanism from solute drag creep to dislocation climb creep could be explained in terms of solute-atmospherebreakaway concept.

Research and development (R&D) methodology for the practical use of accident tolerant fuel (ATF) in commercial light water reactors is discussed in the present review. The identification and quantification of the R&D-metrics and the attribute of candidate ATF-concepts, recognition of the gap between the present R&D status and the targeted practical use, prioritization of the R&D, and technology screening schemes are important for achieving a common understanding on technology screening process among stakeholders in the near term and in developing an efficient R&D track toward practical use. Technology readiness levels and attribute guides are considered to be proper indices for these evaluations. In the midterm, the selected ATF-concepts will be developed toward the technology readiness level-5, at which stage the performance of the prototype fuel rods and the practicality of industrial scale fuel manufacturing will be verified and validated. Regarding the screened-out concepts, which are recognized to have attractive potentials, the fundamental R&D should be continued in the midterm to find ways of addressing showstoppers.

Recently, it was found that the formation of reactive metabolites by cytochrome P450s as well as the depletion of glutathione would play important roles in hepatotoxicity induced by 1-bromopropane. In the present study, possible roles of anti-oxidants in 1-bromopropane-induced hepatotoxicity were investigated in male ICR mice. The hepatotoxicity induced by 1-bromopropane was significantly protected by the co-treatment with either N-acetyl cysteine or silymarin. 1-Bromopropane-induced decrease in hepatic glutathione level was significantly protected by the pretreatment with N-acetyl cysteine. Taken together, the present results indicated that the reduction of hepatic glutathione level caused by 1-bromopropane treatment might be associated in 1-bromopropane-induced hepatotoxicity in mice.

The change of creep deformation mechanism due to the persistent change of stress conditions requires the constitutive relation for the analysis of long tenn behaviors considering age dependent material properties of concrete. In the present research, the process of time dependent behaviors in structure is divided into two stages; the non-mechanical deforming level which causes creep and shrinkage deformations, and the mechanical deforming level which causes mechanical deformations by the restraints of non-mechanical deformations due to internal or external factors. The incremental constitutive relation is derived by expanding the total stress-strain relation on the present time, with respect to the reference time using the Taylor series, and the modulus of elasticity in early ages of concrete was defined thru this process.

Light is an environmental element which is essential for a man to live and do creative activities in residential area. Especially, modern people arc used to live under artificial light interior surroundings for much time. Currently, the average illumination level of the present apartment is improving, but it still does not reach the recommended level because the present apartment's luminous environment is only based on the life behavior which puts its priority to clear vision. Therefore, it is necessary that proper standard illumination must be used for various use and purpose. From this point of view, this paper investigated the essence of light in the residential area and the luminous environment for apartments was measured. This paper finally suggested well-coordinated lighting condition, derived from the measurement and analysis of luminous environment in these cases.
