  • A cascade structured neural network called Sigma-Pi$_{t}$ Cascaded Hybrid Neural Network ($\sigma$$\pi$$_{t}$-CHNN) is Proposed. It is an extended version of the Sigma-Pi Cascaded extended Hybrid Neural Network ($\sigma$$\pi$-CHNN), where the classical multiplicative neuron ($\pi$-neuron) is replaced by the translated multiplicative ($\pi$$_{t}$-neuron) model. The learning algorithm of $\sigma$$\pi$$_{t}$-CHNN is composed of an evolutionary programming method, responsible for determining the network architecture, and of a Levenberg-Marquadt algorithm, responsible for tuning the weights of the network. The $\sigma$$\pi$$_{t}$-CHNN is evaluated in 2 pattern classification problems: the 2 spirals and the sonar problems. In the 2 spirals problem, $\sigma$$\pi$$_{t}$-CHNN can generate neural networks with 10% less hidden neurons than that in previous neural models. In the sonar problem, $\sigma$$\pi$$_{t}$-CHNN can find the optimal solution for the problem i.e., a network with no hidden neurons. These results confirm the expanded information processing capabilities of $\sigma$$\pi$$_{t}$-CHNN, when compared to previous neural network models. network models.

  • When the columns of existing RC structures are repaired with FRP composites, the core concrete of the columns is confined by both materials of steel spirals (or steel hoops) and FRP composites because the FRP composites wrap the existing columns which have been already confined with steel spirals or hoops. As the stress-strain curves of steel and fiber are different to each other, the behavior of concrete columns confined with both steel spiral and FRP composites is also different to that of concrete columns confined with only steel spiral or FRP composites. Twenty four RC cylinders were tested in order to observe the behavior of RC cylinders confined with both materials. The observed results of the test showed that the behavior of the test cylinders confined with both materials was quite different to that of cylinders confined with only one material.

  • The method of function synthesis is essential when we control the systems not known their characteristic, by predicting the function to satisfy a relation between input and output from the given pairs of input-output data. In general the most systems operate non-linearly, it is easy to come about problem is composed with combinations of parameter, constant, condition, and so on. Genetic programming is proposed by one of function synthesis methods. This is a search method of function tree to satisfy a relation between input and output, with appling genetic operation to function tree to convert function into tree structure. In this paper, we indicate problems of a function synthesis method by an existing genetic programming propose four type of new improved method. In other words, there are control of function tree growth, selection of local search method for early convergence, effective elimination of redundancy in function tree, and utilization of problem characteristic of object, for preventing function from complicating when the function tree is searched. In case of this improved method, we confirmed to obtain superior structure to function synthesis method by an existing genetic programming in a short period of time by means of computer simulation for the two-spirals problem.

  • This technical note describes the calculation method of continuous constant linear velocity Archimedean spiral paths which are applied to the pin-on-disk abrasion test. Approximate constant linear velocity Archimedean spirals have unstable velocities in the very near region of the rotational origin. Thus, in this technical note, the offset distance from the rotational origin was given by using a hollow type rock sample to maintain the constant velocity during the test. Also, to connect the inward and outward spirals continuously, the information of start and end points were input on the next spiral path consecutively. Furthermore, the calculation program was developed to provide convenience for calculating constant linear velocity spirals according to the specimen dimension and abrasion test conditions.

  • I n this paper, an experimental research was carried out to investigate the confinement effect of spiral reinforcements in concrete column specimens subjected to t.he concentric axial corn pressive loads. Main variables were the compressive strengths of concrete of 27.2, 62.4 and 81.2 MPa, and the spacings of spirals of 120, 60, 40, 30, 25 and 20mm. and the yield strengths of spir als of 451 and 1375MPa, respectively. For the same volumetric ratio and yield strength of spir als, it was shown that the strength increment of confined concrete was almost same regardless of the strength of unconfined concrete, however, the axial stram at maximum stress was decreas ed with increasing of the compressive strength of unconfined concrete.

  • Inductors material utilized in the downsizing passive devices and Rf components requires the physical and electrical properties at given area such as inductors thickness reduction, inductance and q-factor increase, low leakage current and thermal stability. In this study, Spiral inductors on the $SiO_2/Si$(100) substrate were fabricated by the magnetron sputtering method. Cu thin film with the thickness of $2{\mu}m$ was deposited on the substrate. Also we fabricated square inductors through the wet chemical etching technique. The inductors are completely specified by the turn width and the spacing between spirals. Both the width and spacing between spirals were varied from 10 to $60{\mu}m$ and from 20 to $70{\mu}m$, respectively. Inductance and Q factor dependent on the RF frequency were investigated to analyze performance of inductor arrays

  • Bar fractions depend on the properties of host galaxies. However, the observational studies did not provide consistent tendency. We investigated the bar fractions and their dependence on properties of host galaxies using three bar classifications: visual inspection, ellipse fitting method and Fourier analysis from a volume-limited sample of 1,698 disk galaxies brighter than Mr=-15.2 within z = 0.01 from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7 (DR7). We found two causes to make the discrepancy in previous studies. One is caused by the difficulty in automatically identifying bars for bulge-dominated galaxies. In particular, ellipse fitting methods could miss early-type barred galaxies when a large bulge weakens the transition between a bar and disk. The other is caused by the difference in the correlation between the bar types and host morphology for strong bars and weak bars. Strong bars are preponderant in early-type spirals which are red, bulge-dominated and highly concentrated, whereas weak bars are frequent in late-type spirals which are blue, disk-dominate and less-concentrated. Therefore, how much weak bars they contain affects the trend of bar fraction on host galaxy properties. We also discuss the effect of host properties on the formation, evolution, and destruction of bars.

  • For the improvement of the traditional pots which is using purple spirals for fishing webfoot octopus, Octopus Ocellatus GRAY, some experiments are carried out on the color preference in water tank and also operated practical experiment with PVC pots at sea for the comparison on the basis of the above water tank experiment. The results obtained are as follows: 1. The colors which webfoot octopus prefer in water tank or at sea are gray, red and green in order. 2. The catching efficiency of the pots with small spout(dia. 40mm) is better than that of large spout(dia. 50mm). 3. The results of fishing efficiency between PVC pots and purple spirals are shown almost same tendency.

  • This study estimates the performance of confined concrete according to the configuration of transverse steel bars. The main test variables were the yield strength of spiral reinforcement and configuration of transverse reinforcement. A total of 27 specimens with rectangular cross section were cast and tested under monotonic concentric compression. R-type specimens with rectangular spirals, C-type specimens with circular spirals and O-type specimens with combined shape of rectangular and octagon were designed in this study. From experimental results, it is concluded that the proposed configuration of transverse reinforcement can provided improved ductility to the confined concrete compared to rectangular spiral reinforcement.
