In order to study the fatigue crack and retardation mechanism in variable loading, the effects of crack tip branching in crack growth retardation were examined. The characteristics of crack tip branching behavior were considered with respect to microstructure and crack tip branching angle was examined. Crack tip branching was observed along the grain boundary of finite and pearlite structure. It was found that the branching angle ranges from 25 to 53 degrees. Using the finite element method, the variable of crack driving farce to branching angle was examined. The effective crack driving farce (K$\_$eff/) decreased as the branching angle increased. The rate of decrease was 33% for kinked type and 29% for forked one. It was confirmed that the effect of crack tip branching is a very important factor in crack growth retardation. Therefore, crack branching effect should be considered in building the hypothetical model to predict crack growth retardation.

In the present work, an attempt has been made to construct branching surface from 2-D contours, which are given at different layers and may have branches. If a layer having more than one contour and corresponds to contour at adjacent layers, then it is termed as branching problem and approximated by adding additional points in between the layers. Firstly, the branching problem is converted to single contour case in which there is no branching at any layer and the final branching surface is obtained by skinning. Contours are constructed from the given input points at different layers by energy-based B-Spline approximation. 3-D curves are constructed after adding additional points into the contour points for all the layers having branching problem by using energy-based B-Spline formulation. Final 3-D surface is obtained by skinning 3-D curves and 2-D contours. There are three types of branching problems: (a) One-to-one, (b) One-to-many and (c) Many-to-many. Oneto-one problem has been done by plethora of researchers based on minimizations of twist and curvature and different tiling techniques. One-to-many problem is the one in which at least one plane must have more than one contour and have correspondence with the contour at adjacent layers. Many-to-many problem is stated as m contours at i-th layer and n contours at (i+1)th layer. This problem can be solved by combining one-to-many branching methodology. Branching problem is very important in CAD, medical imaging and geographical information system(GIS).

광산란 장치를 이용하여 메탈로센 촉매 하에 제조된 메탈로센 선형 저밀도 폴리에틸렌의 결정화거동을 Ziegler-Natta 촉매에 의하여 제조된 선형 저밀도 폴리에틸렌과 비교하여 보았다. 특히 branching수와 길이 그리고 공단량체의 함량이 결정화 거동에 미치는 영향을 중점적으로 살펴보았다. 같은 수의 branching 수를 가지고 있는 메탈로센 선형 저밀도 폴리에틸렌은 기존의 선형 저밀도 폴리에틸렌에 비하여 결정화를 시작하기 위한 induction time이 길어짐을 알 수 있으나 구정의 성장속도는 두 경우가 유사함을 확인하였다. 메탈로센 선형 저밀도 폴리에틸렌의 branching 수를 감소시킬 경우 induction time과 구정성장속도가 모두 빨라짐을 알 수 있었다. 또한 일반적으로 최대 구정의 크기는 branching 수에 관계없이 메탈로센 선형 저밀도 폴리에틸렌이 기존의 선형 저밀도 폴리에틸렌에 비하여 커짐을 알 수 있었다.

This study was carried out to investigate the growth and branching pattern of stolons at Korean lawn(Zoysia japonica Steud.) in the field condition. The results were summarized as follows ; 1.About 80% of observed lawns had one primary stolon. Among the lawns with several primary stolons, 30% of them had two primary stolons, 63% had three, and 7% had four. 2.The angles between the primary stolon and the shoot were increased from 0˚ to 52˚ according to the node order from the terminal shoot apex, and reached maximum angle at the 7th node. 3.The internode length was the longest in the middle position of stolon, and its growing rate which depends on months was increased from May to September. 4.The branching angles between primary and secondary stolon were from 44˚ to 53˚ in each node. The average left branching angle was about 48.20, right branching angle 47.8˚, and the total average branching angle was 48.00. 5.The rate of initial brabch was the highest at the 10th node in May, the 7th node in July and the 5th node in September. But, the initial branching rate at the 7th node in July was higher than any other that at the 10th node in May and the 5th node in September. 6.The distribution rate of secondary stolon in each node of primary stolon was the highest at the 7th node. 7.when the terminal shoot apex of primary stolon was damaged mechanically, the branching rate at the first node after the damaged region was highly increased to 62%. The results of this study may be suggested that the secondary stolon begins to branch with the angle of 480 from the 7th node of the normal primary stolon, and those may be used as a basic data for the branching simulation in lawn.

Background: Aortic arch (AA) branching patterns vary among different mammalian species. Most previous studies have focused on dogs, whereas those on raccoon dogs remain unexplored. Objectives: The objective of this study was to describe the AA branching pattern in raccoon dogs and compare their morphological features with those of other carnivores. Methods: We prepared silicone cast specimens from a total of 36 raccoon dog carcasses via retrograde injection through the abdominal aorta. The brachiocephalic trunk (BCT) branching patterns were classified based on the relationship between the left and right common carotid arteries. The subclavian artery (SB) branching pattern was examined based on the order of the four major branches: the vertebral artery (VT), costocervical trunk (CCT), superficial cervical artery (SC), and internal thoracic artery (IT). Results: In most cases (88.6%), the BCT branched off from the left common carotid artery and terminated in the right common carotid and right subclavian arteries. In the remaining cases (11.4%), the BCT formed a bicarotid trunk. The SB exhibited various branching patterns, with 26 observed types. Based on the branching order of the four major branches, we identified the main branching pattern, in which the VT branched first (98.6%), the CCT branched second (81.9%), the SC branched third (62.5%), and the IT branched fourth (52.8%). Conclusions: The AA branching pattern in raccoon dogs exhibited various branching patterns with both similarities and differences compared to other carnivores.

본 논문에서는 정보 검색(Information Retrieval, IR) 기술과 새로운 인스턴스 조인 기술을 이용하여 방대하고도 이질적인 XML 문서들에 대한 부분 매취 질의(Partial Match Query)를 처리하는 새로운 방법으로, XIR-Branching을 제안한다. 부분 매취 질의는 경로 표현식에 조상-후손 관계성(descendent-or-self axis) "//"를 가지는 질의로 정의되며, 선형 경로 표현식(Linear Path Expression, LPE)과 분기 경로 표현식(Branching Path Expression, BPE)으로 구분된다 일반적 형식의 부분 매취 질의는 분기하는 경로들을 만드는 분기 조건들을 가진다. XIR-Branching의 목적은 이질적인 스키마들을 가진 방대한 문서들에 주어지는 부분 매취 질의를 효과적으로 지원하는 것이다. XIR-Branching은 관계형 테이블을 사용하는 전통적인 스키마-레벨 방법들(XRel, XParent, XIR-Linear[21])에 그 기초를 두고, 역 인덱스(inverted index) 기술과 새롭게 소개하는 인스턴스-레벨 조인 기술인 프리픽스 매취 조인(Prefix Match Join)을 사용하여 질의 처리 효율성과 확장성을 향상시킨다. 전자는 LPE를 처리하기 위한 기술로 XIR-Linear[21]에서 사용한 방법이다. 후자는 BPE를 처리하기 위한 기술로 본 논문에서 새롭게 제안하는 기술이며, 전통적인 방법에서 사용하는 포함 관계 조인(containment join) 보다 효과적인 방법으로 결과 노드(result node)를 찾는다. 기존 연구인 XR-Linear는 역 인덱스를 사용하여 LPE 처리에 우수한 성능을 보이고 있지만, BPE 처리 방법을 다루지 않았다. 그러나. 더욱 구체적이고 일반적인 질의를 위해서는 BPE도 처리할 수 있어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 BPE까지 다룰 수 있는 새로운 방법으로 기존의 XIR-Linear를 확장한 XIR-Branching을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 스키마-레벨 방법으로 질의 대상 후보 집합을 크게 줄인 후, 인스턴스-레벨 조인 방법인 프리픽스 매취 조인으로 최종 결과 집합을 효과적으로 구하는 방법이다. XIR-Branching의 우수성을 보이기 위해 기존 BP포 처리 방법인 XRei, XParent와 비교 분석을 수행한다. 마지막으로, 성능 평가를 통하여 XIR-Branching이 기존 방법들에 비해 수십에서 수백배 효과적이고 확장성 또한 뛰어남을 보인다.

등치선(wire-frame contour)으로 표현된 물체의 볼륨정보에서부터 3차원 표면을 재구성하는 방법을 제안한다. 등치선 삼각화법(contour triangulation)이라고도 하는 이 방법에서 가장 문제가 되는 것이 인접 단층사이에서 표면이 분기하는 경우에 발생하는데, 이것은 하나의 등치선이 인접한 층의 두 개이상의 등치선과 연결되는 형태로 나타나며, 표면 생성시의 많은 모호성을 발생시킨다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 분기문제를 가장 일반적으로 발생하는 이중분기문제와 그 이상의 다중분기문제로 구분하고, 먼저 이중 분기 알고리즘을 제안하였으며, 다중분기문제를 다수의 이중분기문제로 단순화하는 다중분기 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 이중분기 알고리즘은 모 등치선을 분할하는 방법을 이용하였는데, 먼저 해협다각형을 정의하고 이를 삼각분할하여 분할선을 구하는 것에 바탕을 두고 있다. 이 방법은 이중분기가 매우 복잡하게 나타나는 경우에도 잘 적용이 되며, 분할선의 레벨을 조절함으로써 매우 사실적인 표면을 만들어 낼 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 또한 다중분기문제를 단층 간격의 문제로 규정하고, 인접한 두 층 사이에 가상의 등치선을 추가하여 가지 등치선을 연속적으로 병합하는 방법으로 해결하였다. 제안된 방법은 등치선 삼각화의 가장 큰 문제인 분기문제를 해결하기 위한 매우 구조적인 접근방법으로, 다양한 실제 등치선 데이타에 적용한 결과 좋은 성능을 나타냈다.
