In this paper several methods for retriving appropriate values of effective soil moisture contents from natural soil surfaces are introduced and compared each other. The soil medium has usually a nonuniform moisture profile; i.e., relatively dry at the top layer and relatively wet at the bottom layer. The effective soil moisture represents the quantitative value of soil moisture of the inhomogeneous soil medium in an average sense. A simple method is an arithmetic averaging of soil moisture values obtained from several layers of a soil surface. Otherwise, the penetration depths can be computed from a homogeneous and an inhomogeneous soil surfaces and compared in order to obtain the effective soil mosture. The other method is to obtain the effective soil moisture by comparing the reflectivities from both of a homogeneous and an inhomogeneous surfaces. Those methods are compared and the reflectivity technique is examined in more detail since the rader scattering is dominated by the reflectivity instead of the penetration.

In this study, we investigated the conditions used in setting the recommendation level of general radiography diagnostic reference and tried to evaluate the effective dose and biological evaluation using PCXMC v2.0 program. As a result based on the effective dose of male in ICRP 60, the highest Pelvis AP was 0.794 mSv. The lowest Chest PA was 0.050 mSv. In the case of ICRP 103, the highest T-Spine AP was 0.906 mSv The lowest Chest PA was 0.052 mSv. For 40 years old male and female adults, effective doses of general radiography were evaluated and even if the medical exposures are not subject to the limit of dose, efforts should be made to reduce the medical exposures of the people by keeping the dose below the recommended amount in order to minimize the probable effect of radiation hazard.

The approaches in many design codes for the estimation of the deflection of flexural reinforced concrete (RC) members utilize the concept of the effective moment of inertia which considers the reduction of flexural rigidity of RC beams after cracking. However, the effective moment of inertia in design codes are primarily based on the ratio of maximum moment and cracking moment of beam subjected to loading without proper consideration on many other possible influencing factors such as span length, member end condition, sectional size, loading geometry, materials, sectional properties, amount of cracks and its distribution, and etc. In this study, therefore, an experimental investigation was conducted to provide fundamental test data on the effective moment of inertia of RC beams for the evaluation of flexural deflection, and to develop a modified method on the estimation of the effective moment of inertia based on test results. 14 specimens were fabricated with the primary test parameters of concrete strength, cover thickness, reinforcement ratio, and bar diameters, and the effective moments of inertia obtained from the test results were compared with those by design codes, existing equations, and the modified equation proposed in this study. The proposed method considered the effect of the length of cracking region, reinforcement ratio, and the effective concrete area per bar on the effective moment of inertia, which estimated the effective moment of inertia more close to the test results compared to other approaches.

An analytical method was developed for the determination of oxytetracycline in agricultural products using the QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged and Safe) method by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). After the samples were extracted with methanol, the extracts were adjusted to pH 4 by formic acid and sodium chloride was added to remove water. Dispersive solid phase extraction (d-SPE) cleanup was carried out using $MgSO_4$ (anhydrous magnesium sulfate), PSA (primary secondary amine), $C_{18}$ (octadecyl) and GCB (graphitized carbon black). The analytes were quantified and confirmed with LC-MS/MS using ESI (electrospray ionization) in positive ion MRM (multiple reaction monitoring) mode. The matrix-matched calibration curves were constructed using six levels ($0.001{\sim}0.25{\mu}g/mL$) and coefficient of determination ($r^2$) was above 0.99. Recovery results at three concentrations (LOQ, $10{\times}LOQ$, and $50{\times}LOQ$, n=5) were from 80.0 to 108.2% with relative standard deviations (RSDs) less than of 11.4%. For inter-laboratory validation, the average recovery was in the range of 83.5~103.2% and the coefficient of variation (CV) was below 14.1%. All results satisfied the criteria ranges requested in the Codex guidelines (CAC/GL 40-1993, 2003) and the Food Safety Evaluation Department guidelines (2016). The proposed analytical method was accurate, effective and sensitive for oxytetracycline determination in agricultural commodities. This study could be useful for safety management of oxytetracycline residues in agricultural products.

Wheel test and potentiodynamic polarization methods were used to evaluate the relative effectiveness of some hydrogen sulfide corrosion inhibitors for the wet gas pipeline API 5L grade X 65 steel. Five commercially corrosion inhibitors have been studied in the deoxygenated produced water solutions containing 10 ppm and 100 ppm of hydrogen sulfide. Based on the experiment results the steel corrosion inhibition mechanism in discussed and two most effective corrosion inhibitors are selected.

Rock mass classifications have played an indispensable role in underground construction for several decades. An important issue in rock mass classifications is the selection of the parameters of greatest significance. There appears to be no single parameter that can fully describe a jointed rock mass for underground construction design. In this paper. We find some problems shen applied rock mass classification for underground construction in domestic, analyze the most significant parameters and parameters correlation influencing the behavior of a rock mass, and suggest the Simplied Rock Mass Rating system based on RMR method for effective underground supports.

This thesis is to research for analysis of ISO 9000 Quality Management System application status of small & medium-sized Industrial Companies. For this research, 10 companies certified by ISO 9000 standard were selected. By using an evaluation method and a software for analysis of application, this thesis compared, analyzed and evaluated the application status before and after certificate of ISO 9000, and identified the performance and difficulty of QMS application, and then proposed improvement methodology for ISO 9000 effective application.

Research results for LMS-based algorithms performances using real records of the traffic noise are discussed. The various algorithms based on LMS method are studied regarding their convergence speed and noise reduction index. Most effective algorithms are chosen for implementation in the active noise control barriers. The optimal step size, and number of adaptive filter taps are addressed during parametric study of the algorithms.

Various imaging modalities have been used for dental implant assessment in the different stages of implant treatment. Basic imaging, such as panoramic and periapical radiographs, are generally useful and cost-effective but do not provide the cross-sectional visualization or interactive image analysis that can be obtained with more sophisticated imaging techniques, such as Cone-Beam Computed Tomography(CBCT) imaging. This article includes the applications of CBCT imaging and their diagnostic contribution to presurgical evaluation, treatment planning, and postoperative assessment of dental implants.
