To investigate relative flammability in flaming combustion among 10 softwoods and 10 hardwoods, oxygen indices were determined for flat-grained sapwoods through Up and Down method following oxygen index test of ASTM D 2863-77. Oxygen index ranged from 21.0 for Pinus strobus to 28.2 for Larix gmelinii var. principis-ruprechtii in softwoods and from 20.7 for Populus davidiana to 27.6 for Quercus acntissima in hardwoods, which indicates Larix gmelinii var. principis-ruprechtii and Quercus acutissima being ranked first in inflammability and Pinus strobus and Populus davidiana being the least in fire resistance by softwood and hardwood because highly flammable materials are likely to have a low oxygen index.

For the improvement of geometrical accuracy in end milling, cutting method and cutting condition selection are investigated in this paper. As machining processes are composed of several steps such as roughing, semi-finishing. and finishing, cutting forces and tool deflection are calculated considering surface shape generated by the previous cutting. The effects of tool teeth numbers, tool geometry, and cutting conditions on the form error are analyzed. Using the from error prediction method from tool deflection, cutting condition for geometrical accuracy improvement is discussed. The characteristics and the difference of generated surface shape in up and down milling are dealt with and over-cut free condition in up milling is presented. The form error reduction method by alternating up and down milling is also suggested. The effectiveness of the presented method is examined from a set of cutting tests under various cutting conditions. This research contributes to cutting process optimization for the geometrical accuracy improvement in die and mold manufacture.

Man-made slope is inevitable to make a new road, which may result in environmental problems as well as collapse of slope. To prevent these problems, various methods such as geogrid reinforced retaining wall, precast concrete-panel retaining wall, and so on, have been introduced and developed. Among these methods, this paper presents the evaluation of field application of precast concrete-panel retaining wall attached to in-situ ground (so called top-down) compared to the conventional construction method of precast concrete-panel retaining wall (so called bottom-up) through the field test and numerical analysis. As a result, the safety factor of both methods in final stage is similar, however, top-down method guarantees the slope stability during the construction compared to bottom-up method.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the most effective exercise position of Latissimus dorsi's activities during Pull up, Push up and Lat pull down among few positions of hand grips(pronation, Supination and neutral grip) and grip widths(30cm, 60cm) based on EMG activities. Method: 10 healthy adults were participated in this study and the surface EMG activities of the Latissimus dorsi were measured during Pull up, Push up and Lat pull down exercise according to specific hand grip and grip width positions. The maximum and mean value of Latissimus dorsi's EMG activities at all positions were recorded and analysed by ONE-WAY REAPTED ANOVA. Results: The showed that the most Latissimus dorsi's activities is during Pull up exercise. Main results are as follows 1)maximum value: For Pull up, among all studied positions, Rt Latissumus dorsi, position of Supinated grip and 60cm grip width showed strongest muscle activation based on maximum EMG value. Statistical significance was assumed at p<.05. 2)mean value: For Pull up, among all studied positions, Both Latissimus dorsi, position of pronated grip and 60cm grip width showed strongest muscle activation based on mean EMG value. Statistical significance was assumed at p<.05. Conclusion: Therefore, taking the results of this study, Pull up exercise would be the best exercise of Latissimus dorsi's activation. It is recommended to do in pronated grip position and 60cm grip width during Pull up to make body fit.

Using the wave data by typhoons LEE, VERA, THELMA which gave great damages in the Korean penisula, the significant waves based on zero-up & down crossing and Tucker-Draper method are compared with those from the wave energy spectrum. And the histograms of individual waves obtained from zero-up crossing method are presented and compared with the Rayleigh, Weibull, Gluhovski, Ibrageemov and Goda distributions, and also the Chi-square goodness of fit test is applied to each theoretical distributions. It is shown that the significant wave heights by zero-up crossing method are very well agreed to those by energy spectrum method. The wave heights are found to well follow the Rayleigh and Goda distributions by the Chi-square test.

A down construction method is frequently used in these days to reduce popular discontent and to assure sufficient working space at early stage in downtown area. There are two main problems in the existing down construction method. One is a confliction between frame works and excavation works, and the other is a cold joint in retaining wall which is unavoidable due to a sequence of concrete placement and induces a water leakage. Therefore, a new method is needed to overcome these problems. The CWS (buried wale Continuous Wall System) method was developed by authors. By replacing RC perimeter beam with embedded steel wale, the steel frame works of substructure can be simplified and the water leakage can be prevented using continuous retaining wall. Consequently, the improved duality and reduction of construction period can be obtained from CWS method.

In this paper, we propose the Improved SIR-based Power Control method in mobile communication system. Generally speaking, SIR-based design considering both channel noise and multiuser interference is accurate indication of signal quality and provides good performance. However, one serious problem associated with SIR-based Power Control is the potential of Positive Feedback which can endanger the stability of the system. Therefore from SIR definition, we decrease the signal\`s Interference we will got a improved SIR and have a stable power control Also in mobile using window register which has Up-Maintain-Down power control step size instead of Up-Down, we got a better performance. This paper assesses the performance of Improved SIR based Power Control using PIC and window register. The proposed Improved SIR based Power Control is presented and compared with existing SIR based Power Control and Strength-and-SIR based Power Control.

In an asymmetrical speed channel environment like asymmetric digital subscriber line, the up-link bandwidth is normally smaller than the down-link bandwidth, which will lead to extremely low utilization of down-link bandwidth when current P2P video transmission is applied. To overcome this, a new fast P2P video transmission method applied in an asymmetrical speed channel environment is proposed in this paper. On the basis of the many-to-one concept, the proposed method uses a new multipeer aggregation technique to enhance the utilization of down-link bandwidth. In addition, an adaptive peer assignment algorithm is also introduced in order to minimize the overall transmission time. Experimental results show that by using our proposed method, the utilization of down-link bandwidth is significantly improved, and the overall transmission time is greatly reduced.

Cu through-vias, which can be used as thermal vias or vertical interconnects, were formed using bottom-up electrodeposition filling as well as top-down electrodeposition filling into open via-holes and their microstructures were observed. Solid Cu through-vias without voids could be successfully formed by bottom-up filling as well as top-down filling with direct-current electrodeposition. While chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) to remove the overplated Cu layer was needed on both top and bottom surfaces of the specimen processed by top-down filling method, the bottomup process has an advantage that such CMP was necessary only on the top surface of the sample.

Among the various factors influencing the service life of the electric equipment, the performance of dielectric insulation materials has an important role to determine their whole service life. In order to determine the degradation of insulating materials immersed in extremely low temperature media such as liquid nitrogen, the abrupt temperature change from cryogenic to normal room temperature should be considered. But the assessments of low-temperature aging test method for the dielectric materials immersed in liquid nitrogen considering these conditions were not fully reported. Therefore, for the fundamental step to establish the suitable degradation test methods for cryogenic dielectric materials, we focused on the evaluation of ageing test methods for dielectric materials exposed to low temperature environments considering thermal shock by cool-down and warm up test.
