The present study provides the compressive design allowable of a unidirectional glass/epoxy composite laminate processed by wet lay-up at room temperature. The compressive strength values measured from 39 specimens have been assumed to follow the two-parameter Weibull distribution. Following the statistical guidelines provided by MIL-HDBK-17F, the B-basis and A-basis values of the aforementioned laminate are found to be 82.6% and 65.9%, of the mean compressive strength, respectively. The B-basis value is then discounted further at 50% for the in-situ application on the main wing spar caps of an experimental canard aircraft.

Recently, natural fibers draw much interests in composite industry due to low cost, light weight, and environment-friendly characteristics compared with glass fibers. In this study, mechanical properties were evaluated for two extreme cases of jute fiber orientations, i.e. the unidirectional yarn composites and the felt fabric composites. Samples of jute fiber composites were fabricated by RTM process using epoxy resin, and tensile, compression, and shear tests were conducted. As can be expected, unidirectional fiber specimens in longitudinal direction showed the highest strength and modulus. Compared with glass/epoxy composites of the similar fabric architecture and fiber volume fraction, the tensile strength and modulus of jute felt/epoxy composites reached only 40% and 50% levels. However, the specific tensile strength and modulus increased to 80% and 90% of the glass/epoxy composites. The main reason for the poor mechanical properties of jute composites is associated with the weak interfacial bonding between fiber and matrix. The effect of surface treatment of jute fibers on the interfacial bonding will be examined in the future work.

Unidirectional fiber-metal matrix composites have superior mechanical properties along the longitudinal direction. However, the applicability of continuous fiber reinforced MMCs is somewhat limited due to their relatively poor transverse properties. Therefore, the transverse properties of MMCs are significantly influenced by the properties of the fiber/matrix interface. In this study, the interfacial stress states of transversely loaded unidirectional fiber reinforced metal matrix composites investigated by using elastic-plastic finite element analysis. Different fiber volume fractions $(5-60\%)$ were studied numerically. The interface was treated as thin layer (with different properties) with a finite thickness between the fiber and the matrix. The fiber is modeled as transversely isotropic linear-elastic, and the matrix as isotropic elastic-plastic material. The analyses were based on a two-dimensional generalized plane strain model of a cross-section of an unidirectional composite by the ANSYS finite element analysis code.

실제적인 이동 Ad Hoc 망에서는 단말의 비대칭성이나 무선환경 특성으로 인해 단방향 링크가 존재할 수 있다. 그러나 현재 Zone 라우팅 프로토콜이외의 기존의 이동 Ad Hoc 라우팅 프로토콜은 양방향 링크들만을 지원하도록 구현되어 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 가장 대표적인 라우팅 프로토콜인 DSR(Dynamic Source Routing) 프로토콜이 단방향 링크를 포함하는 이동 Ad Hoc 망에서 구동될 수 있도록 동적 소스 라우팅을 이용한 새로운 단방향 라우팅 프로토콜을 제안한다. 단방향 링크 상에서 효율적으로 구동하기 위해서 제안한 단방향 라우팅 프로토콜은 새로운 경로발견 및 경로유지 방법을 사용하였다. 성능평가를 위해서 미국 버클리 대학의 NS-2 시뮬레이터 프로그램에 제안한 내용을 코드로 삽입시켰으며, 성능평가 파라미터를 얻기 위해 카네기멜론 대학에서 제공한 이동 패턴파일과 연결 패턴파일을 조합하여 사용하였다. 성능평가 항목으로 데이터수신율 및 평균경로 설정시간을 고려하였으며, 제안된 3가지 경로설정 방식들에 대해 비교·평가하였다.

Jopock (Jpk) has previously been ascertained that induces both bacterial and mammalian cell death. The Escherichia coli cells expressing Glutathion S-transferase (GST) fused Jpk showed elongated phenotype and inhibited cell growth which led eventual cell death. In an attempt to search the genetic suppressor of the lethal protein Jpk in bacterial cells, we constructed a unidirectional protein expression vector inserting tac promoter next to the C-terminus Jpk in pGEX-Jpk. The function of additional tac promoter was confirmed by substituting lac promoter in Plac-TOPO plasmid. The cells harboring plac- TOPO, which regulates $lacZ{\alpha}$ gene expression under lac promoter, formed blue colonies in 5-bromo-4-3 $indolyo-{\beta}-D-galactoside$ (X-gal) plate. When lac promoter was changed to tac promoter, same results were observed. Since the addition of tac promoter did not affect the toxic effect of Jpk, the pGEX-Jpk-ptac could be a useful vector for the screening of suppressor(s) for Jpk, in which GST-Jpk and a putative Jpk-suppressing protein are coexpressing from two unidirectional tac promoters, which response to the same inducer, $isopropyl-{\beta}-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG)$.

We report on the parameter-dependent optical characteristics of the unidirectional single-mode lasing square ring cavities. Using the taper-step section in the square cavities, the resonant direction can be selected and we characterize the optical losses by changing the taper lengths. Various kinds of square ring cavities are fabricated, based on InGaAsP/InGaAs multiple quantum well semiconductor materials. From the experimental results we obtain the optimized taper length for a given device structure, while maintaining unidirectional single-mode lasing.

The purpose of this research was to study differences between reciprocal and unidirectional friendships and to examine evidence on whether certain constituents of friendship can predict the termination of friendships. A total 375 subjects- 190 elementary and 185 middle school children in Pusan- were administered questionnaires two times at an interval of 3 months. Frequency, factor-analysis, t-test, discriminant-analysis, and cross classification analysis were applied for data analysis. The results of the study were as follows: 1) The different constituents of reciprocal and unidirectional friendships were statistically significant. That is, children in reciprocal friendships perceived their relationships more positively, felt closeness more strongly, and evaluated their friend more highly than the children in unidirectional friendships. 2) The termination of reciprocal friendships was predicted by the constituents of friendship. The most powerful predictor was the degree of closeness and the second powerful predictor was the degree of commitment to the relationship and the 3rd powerful predictor was perceived characteristics of the friend. The last powerful predictor was perceived characteristics of the relations. 3) There were no sex differences in the rate of termination of reciprocal relationships. 4) There were age differences in the rate of friendship termination of reciprocal relationships. That is, the rate of termination of reciprocal relationships among older children was higher than among younger children.

In this paper, an investigation was performed on the ModeII dynamic interlaminar fracture toughness of unidirectional CFRP laminates. The stacking sequences used in this experiment are two kinds of [$0_20$] and [$0_{10}F_20_{10}$]. In the experiments, Split Hopkinson's Bar test was applied to dynamic and notched flexure test. The Mode II fracture toughness of each unidirectional CFRP was estimated by the analyzed deflection of the specimen and J-Integral with the measured impulsive load and reactions at the supported points. As an experimental results, the specimen [$0_{10}F_20_{10}$] appears greater than that of [$0_20$] for the J-integral and displacement velocity at a measuring point within the range of experiment.

In general, the unidirectional power flow is normal in distribution feeders before activation of distributed power source such as PV. However, the interactive power flow is likely to occur in case of the power system under distributed generation. This interactive power flow can cause an unexpected effect on convectional protection coordination systems designed based only on the unidirectional power flow system. When the power line system encounters a problem, the interactive power flow can be a contributed current source and this makes the fault current bigger or smaller compared to the unidirectional case. The effect of interactive power flow is varied depending on the location of the point to ground fault, relative location of the PV, and connection method. Therefore it is important to analyse characteristics of fault current and interactive flow for various transformer connection and location of the PV. This paper proposes a method of improved protection coordination which can be adopted in the protective device for customers in distribution feeders interconnected with the PV. The proposed method is simulated and analysed using PSCAD/EMTDC under various conditions.

In this study, we present a multidimensional open system for valveless pumping (VP). This system consists of an elastic tube connected to two open tanks filled with a fluid under gravity. The two-dimensional elastic tube model is constructed based on the immersed boundary method, and the tank model is governed by a system of ordinary differential equations based on the work-energy principle. The flows into and out of the elastic tube are modeled in terms of the source/sink patches inside the tube. The fluid dynamics of this system is generated by the periodic compress-and-release action applied to an asymmetric region of the elastic tube. We have developed an algorithm to couple these partial differential equations and ordinary differential equations using the pressure-flow relationship and the linearity of the discretized Navier-Stokes equations. We have observed the most important feature of VP, namely, the existence of a unidirectional net flow in the system. Our computations are focused on the factors that strongly influence the occurrence of unidirectional flows, for example, the frequency, compression duration, and location of pumping. Based on these investigations, some case studies are performed to observe the details of the ow features.
