Stress determination is a very important step in the assessment of the safety of existing reinforced concrete structures. In rock mechanic this goal is achieved with the over-coring technique. The main idea behind such a technique is to isolate a material sample from the stress field in the surrounding mass and monitor its re-equilibrium deformation response. If the materials remains elastic, and elastic properties are known, stresses may be obtained from the corresponding measured strains. The goal of this paper is to evaluate if the over-coring technique is applicable to reinforced concrete members. The results of an experimental investigation on the behaviour of compressed concrete columns subjected to the over-coring technique are presented. Considerations about the range of applicability of the technique are made by comparing the measured and the theoretical stresses. After that, results of failure tests on drilled specimens are presented and discussed. Furthermore, the response is compared with that of columns core-bored before the compressive test. Finally, comparisons with numerical analysis are shown.

The effect of rebirthing technique on the genetic algorithm (GA)-based size optimization is investigated. The GA mimics the principles of nature and it can gradually improve structural design through biological operations such as fitness, selection, crossover and mutation. However, premature optimum has been often detected in the generic GA with continuous design variable. Since then, the so-called rebirthing technique has been proposed to avoid this problem. However, the performance of the rebirthing technique has not been reported. Therefore, the size optimizations of spatial structures are tackled to investigate the performance of the rebirthing technique on the generic GA. From numerical results, it is well proved that the rebirthing technique is very effective to produce the optimum values regardless of the values of parameters used in the GA operations.

This paper presents a novel optimum technique for optimum mix-proportion using database-based prediction model of material properties for an object function or a constraint condition. The proposed technique provides high reliability of results introducing effective region model, which assesses whether the prediction model is effective or not, in optimization process. In order to validate the proposed technique, a genetic algorithm was adopted as a optimum technique, and an artificial neural network was adopted as a prediction model for material properties and as a model for assessing effective region. The mix-proportion obtained from the proposed technique is more reasonable than that obtained from a general optimum technique.

LRR family proteins play important roles in a variety of physiological processes. To facilitate their production and crystallization, we have invented a novel method termed "Hybrid LRR Technique". Using this technique, the first crystal structures of three TLR family proteins could be determined. In this review, design principles and application of the technique to protein crystallization will be summarized. For crystallization of TLRs, hagfish VLR receptors were chosen as the fusion partners and the TLR and the VLR fragments were fused at the conserved LxxLxLxxN motif to minimize local structural incompatibility. TLR-VLR hybridization did not disturb structures and functions of the target TLR proteins. The Hybrid LRR Technique is a general technique that can be applied to structural studies of other LRR proteins. It may also have broader application in biochemical and medical application of LRR proteins by modifying them without compromising their structural integrity.

In this paper, we describe a chip design technique for instrumentation amplifier using a nested-chopping technique. Conventional chopping technique uses a pair of chopper, but nested chopping technique uses two pairs of chopper to reduce residual offset and 1/f noise. The inner chopper pair removes the 1/f noise, while the outer chopper pair reduces the residual offset. Our instrumentation amplifier using a nested chopping technique has residual offset under 100 nV. We also implement very low frequency filter. Since this filter needs very large RC time constant, we use a technique named 'diode connected PMOS' to increase R with small die area. The total power consumption is 3.1 mW at the supply voltage of 3.3V with the 0.35um general CMOS technology. The die area of implemented chip was $530um{\times}300um$.

This paper describes the application of newly developed conducted EMI reduction technique of SVPWM in induction motor drive. The newly developed common mode voltage reduction SVPWM technique doesn't any zero-voltage vector states for inverter control. Hence it can restrict the common mode voltage better than conventional PWM technique. The proposed technique is verified through simulation and experimental results. And by applying vector-controled system, the proposed technique have superior ability of reducing EMI and equal control performance comparing conventional SVPWM technique.

In this paper, we describe the object-oriented motioncompensation technique using the hierarchical grid interpolation(HGI). By noting that the HGI does not exploit effetively the rate-distortion (R-D) trade-off inherent in the quadtree decomposition, we propose an objectoriented HGI technique employing the greedy method. In the proposed technique, input image is decomposed in a quadtree basis using the greedy method, yielding maximum split gain in the R-D sense. Then, the motion compensation is performed using the HGI technique. The performance of the proposed technique is examined in simulation, and it will be show that the proposed technique provides better performance than the conventional object-oriented motion compensation techniques.

A project manager is required to have systematic knowledge in the project management in fashion and apparel industry. The Network Technique is a modern project management technique and applies to almost all industry sectors, including fashion and apparel industry. Through the Network Technique, we can save project time and cost. The purpose of present study are - to introduce the Network Technique into fashion and apparel industry management area, and - to make an practical application of he Network Technique to fashion and apparel industry. For these purpose, fist we define the Network Technique, and then we apply it to fashion show as an example. Only time component is considered in this study. Cost component can be dealt with later on in the project planning area.

Since 1996, the G7 R&D and High-Speed Rail development project have been accomplished and it will be completed in 2007. During that time, we have achieved the origin design technique based on technique development experience. However, in order to magnify and to promote the growth of the origin design technique for railway industry to be a growth motive industry in future from intensive speed elevation and new technique competition of advanced nations, we need to prepare the next generation high-speed rail technique and to sustain expansion of the technique with getting hold of new technique tendency of the world. Therefore, this paper make research into necessity of the next generation high-speed rail development project, making an analysis of foreign countries cases and forward plan.

The purpose of this research is to develop subject of up-to-date scientific technology, according with science museum, and to deviate from the old style, simply-seeing display, and the passive display which simply support narrative styles by one-way action. In addition, for motivating audience to take part in the display, this study is to analyze displaying technique, key marks of an exhibit and then to create the way which science museum should follow in order to plan interactive scenario and display technique. By analysis and consideration of museums, which I took for a sample, this study will work out display scenario, based on interactive concept, and experience display technique. Moreover, this study will suggest alternatives and basis in order to develop display technique of up-to-date science in science museum.
