A series of thermoplastic polyurethane copolymers were prepared from polypropyleneglycol(PPG, MW 3000), 1,4-butanediol, Isophorone diisocyanate(IPDI) and dibutyltin dilaurate(BBT) as catalyst. Studies have been made on the effects of molar ratio of isocyanate /polyol/chain extender on the properties such as tensile and thermal properties. By varying the ration of hard to soft segments, TPU ranging from soft elastomeric polymer to relatively hard elastoplastics and be obtained. The storage modulus and glass transition temperature of TPU increased with increasing the hard segment content.

We detect a new population of chromospheric jets in a polar coronal hole observed by Hinode/SOT. The propagating speed of the jets ranges in 30 - 490 km/s whose duration time is 3 - 52 s. The recurrent rate is approximately 3/min for a give segment of 1 arc-second horizontal interval. These jets are seemed to be more transient and faster than type II spicules at chromosphere, while the properties are compatible with the network jets seen in emission lines of transition region. We will discuss the implication of these jets for a coronal heating.

This paper presents novel segmentation and transition techniques for dancing motion synthesis. The segmentation method for dancing motions is based on Laban Movement Analysis (LMA). We assume a dance sequence as a set of small dancing motions. To segment a dancing motion is a subjective, psychological, and complex problem, so we extract the shape factor of LMA from a dance motion and observe shape's changes to find the boundaries of dance segments. We also introduce a transition method that meets constraints on the feet. This method that is based on a linear interpolation modifies the intermediate posture motion after analyzing footprint positions. The posture could be a key-frame between source motion and target motion on the transition. With the proposed techniques, it would be easy for multimedia applications to generate plausible dance motions.

The study empirically delves into the longitudinal transition of the urban core of Naju City in Korea. For the purpose, the ASA (Angular Segment Analysis) technique of Space Syntax has been adopted to investigate the cadastral maps on the GIS platform for the five chosen years since 1920. In particular, the global integration map as well as box plot statistics have been used to capture the time-series consequences. The findings indicate that the old downtown is no more a monocentric city core and the center of the City has far moved eastward near the new Gwangju-Jeonam Innovation City especially during the period between 2000 and 2020.

In order to establish the cause of the deformation of polyurethane foam, compression set was measured according to the aging temperature and time. FT-IR, TGA, DSC and DMA were used for investigating the cause of deformation of aged PUF. The results of FT-IR and TGA reveals that no structure change occurred during deformation of PUF. Resilience of aged PUF was reduced by the increase of reduction ratio in storage modulus over the glass transition temperature of hard segment.

Polyurethanes, synthesized by polyester polyols and aliphatic or aromatic diisocyanates for a crease resist finishing agent, were prepared by two-step reactions, that is, prepolymer synthesis and chain extension. The structures of synthesized polyurethanes were confirmed by the measurement of FT-IR and $^1H$-NMR spectrometer. The number average molecular weight ($\bar{M}_n$) and the weight average molecular weight ($\bar{M}_w$) of the polyurethane with aromatic diisocyanate (MDI) were higher than those of the synthesized polyurethanes with aliphatic diisocyanate (HDI, $H_{12}MDI$). The glass transition temperatures ($T_g$) of soft segments in polyurethanes with MDI, HDI, $H_{12}MDI$ were -25,-42 and -50$^{circ}C$, respectively. In the polyurethanes obtained by two-step reaction, thermal stability and tensile strength increased with increasing hard segment contents, whereas elongation at break decreased with increasing hard segment contents.

The 1,3-propane diol has been introduced as a co-monomer with ethylene glycol to polymerize the poly(ethylene/propylene naphthalate) in order to improve the dimensional stability of poly(ethylene naphthalate) for a possible flexible substrate material. Based on $^1H$-NMR results, it was found that poly (ethylene/propylene naphthalate) has been synthesised successfully. Introducing 1,3-propane diol resulted in the amorphous state in polyester as well as lowering of glass transition and thermal degradation temperature. Coexisting relatively longer propylene segment compared with ethylene in synthesized polyester caused less orientation behavior and reducing thermal expansion coefficient. This is a promising result for poly (ethylene/propylene naphthalate) to apply a flexible substrate.

GAP or GAP-co-BO based energetic thermoplastic elastomers (ETPEs) were synthesized by changing the hard segment content percent in the range of 30~45% by 5% difference. Thermal and mechanical properties of GAP-co-BO based ETPEs were compared to those of GAP based ETPEs. FT-IR results showed that the capability of forming hydrogen bond increases with increasing the hard segment content in GAP/GAP-co-BO based ETPE, and also the GAP-co-BO based ETPEs are stronger than GAP based ETPEs in the hydrogen bond formation. DSC and DMA results showed that the glass transition temperature (T_g) of GAP based ETPEs increased with the increment of the hard segment content, while the T_g of GAP-co-BO based ETPEs was maintained even the hard segment content increased. The storage modulus at room temperature of the GAP-co-BO based ETPEs was higher than that of the GAP based ETPEs. This was due to the strong phase separation behavior of the hard and soft segment of GAP-co-BO based ETPEs, which further resulted in the stronger breaking strength and lower tensile elongation at break point for GAP-co-BO based ETPE than the GAP based one.

This paper presents the methods that design the Wavelet-based pitch detector for 2,4 kbps Harmonic-CELP Coder, and that achieve the effective waveform interpolation by decision window shape of the transition region, Waveform interpolation coder operates by encoding one pitch-period-sized segment, a prototype segment, of speech for each frame, generate the smooth waveform interpolation between the prototype segments for voiced frame, But, harmonic synthesis of the prototype waveforms between previous frame and current frame occur not only waveform errors but also discontinuity at frame boundary on that case of pitch halving or doubling, In addtion, in transition region since waveform interpolation coder synthesizes the excitation waveform by using overlap-add with triangularity window, therefore, Harmonic-CELP fail to model the instantaneous increasing speech and synthesis waveform linearly increases, First of all, in order to detect the precise pitch period, we use the hybrid 1st pitch detector, and increse the precision by using 2nd ACF-pitch detector, Next, in order to modify excitation window, we detect the onset, offset of frame by GCI, As the result, pitch doubling is removed and pitch error rate is decreased 5.4% in comparison with ACF, and is decreased 2,66% in comparison with wavelet detector, MOS test improve 0.13 at transition region.

The pyrolysis kinetics of polyurethanes synthesized from polycaprolactone diol (PCL) and diisocyanate (HDI, $H_{12}MDI$) using catalysts such as dibutyltin dilaurate (DBTDL) were studied by a thermogravimetric (TG) technique, which involved heating the sample at the rates of 10, 20 and $30^{\circ}C$/min. The effect of the kind of diisocyanate and the hard segment contents on the activation energy and reaction order were examined at conversions ranging from 1 to $100\%$. The activation energies at first increased slowly with increasing conversion. Also, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to investigate the structural differences in each polyurethane. DSC can reveal the melting behavior, in terms of the glass transition temperature ($T_g$), which is known to vary as a function of the stoichiometry and processing conditions.
