The UK Government's approach to how to deliver regeneration in its towns and cities has changed considerably in recent years. Traditionally, urban regeneration policy focused on reversing physical, economic and social decline in an area where market forces would not do this without intervention. Since 2010 urban regeneration has become a vital part of the Government's approach to increasing local growth and competitiveness and building a strong and balanced economy. The current emphasis is on a place-based approach to regeneration that builds on the particular strengths of different places to drive growth and addresses the factors that hold them back. This paper outlines the key features of current UK urban regeneration policy and how interventions to support regeneration and growth are being pursued at different spatial scales to ensure all parts of the country benefit. They include pan regional initiatives like the Northern Powerhouse and Midlands Way, to groups of local authorities operating at a sub regional level (combined authorities/city regions), Local Enterprise Partnerships, and a variety of smaller scale programmes delivering regeneration in areas of economic and social decline. The paper explains some of the policy instruments and funding programmes available to support regeneration, and provides case studies of some major urban regeneration projects that illustrate the new approach including housing and infrastructure improvements like the planned High Speed Rail 2 line. These are supporting regeneration through the creation of strategic partnerships involving government, places and investors. The paper concludes with some lessons from past and future regeneration schemes to improve their effectiveness and impact on places and enhance local growth potential.

Geologic field survey is very important for the high school students who take the courses of earth science under the 7th earth science curriculum, however actually it is very difficult for the students to survey in the field because of long time and distance, and expenses. To overcome these difficulties, this study focused on developing the web contents and teaching-learning materials for virtual geologic field survey of the Songaksan and Jisagae area, Jeju island. The developed web contents were placed into three parts; main manu, sub manu and contents to help the learners flow-chart of the program easily. To overcome the weakness of existing textual web materials, some movable images and worksheets were provided for the learners, and the web contents were designed for the learners to experience as similar as the geologic field survey may let them do.

The testing materials which kept perilla frutescens' leaves frezen are divided into four parts, 1. freezing green leaves, 2. glucose added to the leaves dried in the sun, 3. glucose unadded to the leaves dried in the sun and 4. the leaves dried in the immediately after collecting sample. The perilla frutescens' leaves are treated with the artificial digestion test to investigate the effects of the digestibility of ingredients and of protein. The results obtained were as follows ; 1. The digestibility of crude protein of sample using the common leaves dried in the sun immediately after collecting sample was presented highest at 83.15%, the freezing green leaves at 68.35%, glucose added to the leaves dried in the sun at 64.25% and glucose unadded to the leaves dried in the sun at 62.12%. The digestibility of perilla frutescens' by freezing green leaves, glucose added or glucose unadded to the leaves dried in the sun is on the decrease without difference. 2. It was suggested that glucose and reductive sugars to perilla frutescens' leaves is not affected by the decreased digestibility of protein, dince the digestibility of glucose added to the leaves dried in the sun and glucose unadded to the leaves dried in the sun almost never makes a difference. 3. The digestibility of freezing the green leaves for six months was quite different from the leaves that were dried in the sun immediately after collecting sample, in that the leaves that were frozen for six months were decreased 1/5 quantity of the shole crude protein.

The jacket matrix is based on the Walsh-Hadamard matrix and an extension of it. While elements of the Walsh-Hadamard matrix are +1, or -1, those of the Jacket matrix are ${\pm}$1 and ${\pm}$$\omega$, which is $\omega$, which is ${\pm}$j and ${\pm}$2$\sub$n/. This matrix has weights in the center part of the matrix and its size is 1/4 of Hadamard matrix, and it has also two parts, sigh and weight. In this paper, instead of the conventional Jacket matrix where the weight is imposed by force, a simple Jacket sequence generation method is proposed. The Jacket sequence is generated by AND and Exclusive-OR operations between the binary indices bits of row and those of column. The weight is imposed on the element by when the product of each Exclusive-OR operations of significant upper two binary index bits of a row and column is 1. Each part of the Jacket matrix can be represented by jacket sequence using row and column binary index bits. Using Distributed Arithmetic (DA), we present a VLSI architecture of the Fast Jacket transform is presented. The Jacket matrix is able to be applied to cryptography, the information theory and complex spreading jacket QPSK modulation for WCDMA.

The growing use of unprotected or partially protected steelwork in buildings has caused a lively debate regarding the safety of this form of construction. A good deal of recent research has indicated that steel members have a substantial inherent ability to resist fire so that additional fire protection can be either reduced or eliminated completely. A performance based philosophy also extends the study into the effect of structural continuity and the performance of the whole structural totality. As part of the structural system, thermal expansion during the heating phase or contraction during the cooling phase in most beams is likely to be restrained by adjacent parts of the whole system or sub-frame assembly due to compartmentation. This has not been properly addressed before. This paper describes an experimental programme in which unprotected steel beams were tested under load while it is restrained between two columns and additional horizontal restraints with particular concern on the effect of catenary action in the beams when subjected to large deflection at very high temperature. This paper also presents a three-dimensional mathematical modelling, based on the finite element method, of the series of fire tests on the part-frame. The complete analysis starts with an evaluation of temperature distribution in the structure at various time levels. It is followed by a detail 3-D finite element analysis on its structural response as a result of the changing temperature distribution. The principal part of the analysis makes use of an existing finite element package FEAST. The effect of columns being fire-protected and the beam being axially restrained has been modelled adequately in terms of their thermal and structural responses. The consequence of the beam being restrained is that the axial force in the restrained beam starts as a compression, which increases gradually up to a point when the material has deteriorated to such a level that the beam deflects excessively. The axial compression force drops rapidly and changes into a tension force leading to a catenary action, which slows down the beam deflection from running away. Design engineers will be benefited with the consideration of the catenary action.

Finite element method (FEM) is an effective quantitative method to solve complex engineering problems. The basic idea of FEM for a complex problem is to be able to find a solution by reducing the problem made simple. If mathematical tools are inadequate to obtain precise result, even approximate result, FEM is the only method that can be used for structural analyses. In FEM, the domain is divided into a large number of simple, small and interconnected sub-regions called finite elements. FEM has been used commonly for linear and nonlinear analyses of different types of structures to give us accurate results of plane stress and plane strain problems in civil engineering area. In this paper, FEM is used to investigate stress analysis of a shear wall which is subjected to concentrated loads and fundamental principles of stress analysis of the shear wall are presented by using matrix displacement method in this paper. This study is consisting of two parts. In the first part, the shear wall is discretized with constant strain triangular finite elements and stiffness matrix and load vector which is attained from external effects are calculated for each of finite elements using matrix displacement method. As to second part of the study, finite element analysis of the shear wall is made by ANSYS software program. Results obtained in the second part are presented with tables and graphics, also results of each part is compared with each other, so the performance of the matrix displacement method is demonstrated. The solutions obtained by using the proposed method show excellent agreements with the results of ANSYS. The results show that this method is effective and preferable for the stress analysis of shell structures. Further studies should be carried out to be able to prove the efficiency of the matrix displacement method on the solution of plane stress problems using different types of structures.

In this paper, CMOS SAR A/D converter 1.8V supply for the design of an A/D converter having an middle speed for the biological signal processing was designed. This paper proposes design of a 10-bit SAR Analog to Digital Converter improving linearity driven by MSB node of C-DAC array divided into 4 equal parts. It enhances linearity property, by retaining the analog input signal charging time at MSB node. Because MSB node samples analog input, it enhances resolution through getting initial input signal precisely. By using split capacitor on C-DAC array, it reduced chip size and power dissipation. The Proposed SAR A/D Converter is fabricated in 0.18um CMOS and measured 7.5 bits of ENOB at sampling frequency 4MS/s and power supply of 1.8V. It occupies a core area of $850{\times}650um^2$ and consumes 123.105uW. Therefore it results in 170.016fJ/step of FOM(Figure of Merit).

In this work, transmission characteristics of read and write signal were calculated when a MRAM (magnetic random access memory) cell is operated up to 10 GHz. Test device having long read and write lines was modeled in 3 dimensions to perform a simulation. The simulation was divided into two parts, read and write operations, and S-parameters were computed utilizing FEM (finite element method) algorithm. Transmission coefficients, S$\sub$21/, for read and write operations of MRAM device which was designed for a single cell test configuration were analyzed from DC to 1 GHz and DC to 10 GHz, respectively. When the insulator thickness between the bit and sense lines was increased from 500 to 1500 ${\AA}$, 3 dB attenuation frequency was increased by 3.3 times, from 135 to 430 MHz. The length of the bit and sense lines were 600 ${\mu}$m. In addition, access time was estimated by calculating the propagation delay utilizing S-parameters.
