In this paper, a model for simulating synthetic aperture radar(SAR) images of earth surfaces. The earth surfaces include forest area, rice crop field, other agricultural fields, grass field, road, and water surface. At first, the backscattering models are developed for bare soil surfaces, water surfaces, short vegetation fields such as rice fields and grass field, other agriculture areas, and forest areas. Then, the SAR images are generated from the digital elevation model(DEM) and digital terrain map. The DTM includes ten parameters, such as soil moisture, surface roughness, canopy height, leaf width, leaf length, leaf density, branch length, branch density, trunk length, and trunk density, if applicable. The scattering models are verified with measurements, and applied to generate an SAR image for an area.

In order to predict performance of the intake manifold, which is dependent on the length and diameter of a resonance pipe, the Fluid Dynamic Model for 4-cylinder diesel engine is developed using two step Lax-Wendroff method to solve the governing equations of air flow in the intake system. Boundary conditions at the intake valve, branch at the manifolds, and pipe end are also modeled. The results of the models are compared with the experimental results of a motored engine. The model is capable of predicting the real phenomena satisfactorily with reasonable computing time.

Since the concrete strength around the reinforcement rebar affects the tension stiffening, the tension stiffening effect of ultra high performance concrete on the concrete members reinforced by steel rebar is examined by testing the specimens with circular cross section with the length 850 mm reinforced by a steel rebar at the center of a specimen's cross section in this research. Conducting a tensile test on the specimens, the cracking behavior is evaluated and a curve with an exponential descending branch is obtained to explain the post-cracking zone. In addition, this paper proposes an equation for this branch and parameters of equation is obtained based on the ratio of cover thickness to rebar diameter (c/d) and reinforcement percentage (${\rho}$).

Y-branch directional coupler optica1 switches with two different coupling lengths are fabricated on z-cut LiNbO3 and tested at r = 1.3 rm. The normal mode and coupled mode theories are utilized to calculate device coupling length and switching voltage. Simulation of the beam propagation method (BPM) is also performed to confirm the device coupling lengths. For dc operation, experimental results are in good agreement with the modee theories expectation.

In this study, the threshold wind speed that causes physical damage on Kiwi fruit plant was investigated through wind tunnel experiments. Total 30 samples of Kiwi fruit branches were tested. On average, the wind speeds for tearing leaves and breaking side branch from the main branch were about 20m/s and 21.7m/s, respectively. For the cases of broken branches, the average length and diameter of the branches were 587.5mm and 7.2mm, respectively. The discoloration and dehydration of Kiwi plant were also observed by photographing leaves and branches after 24 hour later of the wind damage. In addition, the shelter effect of porous wind fences which have been used at agricultural districts was examined with varying several parameters.

Recently, wire-EDM became a necessity for many engineering applications, particularly in the dies making. No-Core cut process is helpful for operations in which falling slug can jam the machine or wire. In this paper a proposed CAM system (called NCPP) is introduced, to overcome the limitations of the existing CAM systems in the machining of No-Core cut. The proposed CAM system (NCPP) provides pocketing of No-core cut and optimal selection of the position of starting hole (wire threading point), to minimize toolpath length. It was written for data exchange between CAD-CAM-CNC machines. This data model will become part of the ISO (Data model for Computerized Numerical Controllers) international standard. The NCPP system has been implemented in Visual C++. Many examples are used to illustrate NCPP system. The results show that, NCPP saves the machining time by significant value. This value depends on the shape and complexity of the workpiece that is being cut.

S-N fatigue tests were conducted to investigate the fatigue strength of the small diameter socket and butt welded joints of carbon steels. Experimental parameters were pipe diameter, throat depth, shape of socket welds and welding procedure. Filler metals used in SMAW and GTAW procedure were E9016-G with diameter of 4.0 mm and ER70S-G with diameter of 2.4 m. API 5L Gr.B pipes were adopted as a small diameter branch pipes. All socket fittings were machined from ASTM A105 carbon steel. Fatigue strength in socket weld joints increased with increasing pipe diameter, area of weld metal and weld leg length of pipe side.

The cervical esophageal stricture has various surgical modalities and difficulties in reconstruction. We had experienced a case of successful reconstruction of the cervical esophageal restenosis using the free jejunal graft, on 30 year old man had had esophageal stricture after ingestion of lye. He had undergone colon interposition[esophagocologastrostomy] with left colon feeding gastrostomy. But restenosis was occurred just above of the cervical esophagocolostomy site several times of balloon dilatation were failed. So, we decided to use of the free jejunal graft. The free jejunal graft was isolated about 15cm length with it`s vascular arcades. The graft was irrigated with the mixed solution as isotonic saline, heparin and papaverine chloride. The artery of graft was anastomosed to the branch of the external carotid artery in end to side with continuous sutures of the 8.0 Prolene. The vein of the graft was anastomosed to the branch of the anterior facial vein in end to end with continuous sutures of the 8.0 prolene. Postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged after removal of the tracheostomy cannula and gastrostomy tube.
