Planar spiral inductors on silicon substrates were optimally designed using MATLAB, which is a tool to perform numerical computations with matrices. The equivalent circuit parameters of the spiral inductors were extracted from the data measured from the spiral inductors fabricated using a 0.18 $\mu\textrm{m}$ RF CMOS process. The metal width, which is a critical design parameter, was optimized for the maximum quality factor with respect to the operating frequency.

This study has developed a numerical analysis technique newly which can evaluate the damage propagation characteristics of civil infrastructures. To do this, numerical techniques are incorporated for the concrete members up to the compressive damage due to the bending compressive forces after the tensile crack based on the deformation mechanism. Especially, for the compressive damage stage after the tensile crack, the crack propagation process will be analyzed numerically using the concept of an equivalent plastic hinged length. Using this concept, we investigate the reasonability of the developed module by comparing commercial program for the tunnel structure. It can be established from this study that section forces, such as axial forces and the moment cracks takes place, can be related to the width of the crack making it possible to analyze the crack extension.

In this study, the fabrication and electrical properties of aligned single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) networks using a template-based fluidic assembly process are presented. This complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS)-friendly process allows the formation of highly aligned lateral nanotube networks on $SiO_2/Si$ substrates, which can be easily integrated onto existing Si-based structures. To measure outstanding electrical properties of organized SWCNT devices, interfacial contact resistance between organized SWCNT devices and Ti/Au electrodes needs to be improved since conventional lithographic cleaning procedures are insufficient for the complete removal of lithographic residues in SWCNT network devices. Using optimized purification steps and controlled developing time, the interfacial contact resistance between SWCNTs and contact electrodes of Ti/Au is reached below 2% of the overall resistance in two-probe SWCNT platform. This structure can withstand current densities ${\sim}10^7A{\cdot}cm^{-2}$, equivalent to copper at similar dimensions. Also failure current density improves with decreasing network width.

Current design practice for the prediction of tunnelling-induced ground movements depends on empirical methods, which are based on many assumptions and simplification of the modeling. Some discrepancies between the predictions and the measurements of ground movements regarding adjacent structures are inevitable. In order to investigate tunnel-induced ground movements affect on the settlement of existing structures as well as existing structures affect tunnel-induced ground movement, 2-D elasto-plastic finite element analysis are performed. The following influencing factors such as load of the structures, the width of structures, its bending and axial stiffness, its position relative to the tunnel are considered in the numerical analysis.

For an efficient calculation of scattering matrix of planar transmission line with step discontinuity. Mode Matching Method combined with Vector Finite Element Method is adopted. Calculating effective widths are replaced with their respective equivalent planar waveguide corresponding to the microstrip width, Propagation Constant is calculated from the Vector finite element. Mode matching method is used for deriving scattering parameters.

Post-starburst (E+A) galaxies are thought to be in the green valley transition phase between star-forming blue galaxies and quiescent red galaxies. They are identified by their unusual spectra characterized by strong Balmer absorption lines and weak emission lines, indicating a period of starburst followed by abrupt quenching. However, the underlying mechanism that drives the formation of E+A galaxies still remains contradictory or inconclusive. Thus, in order to differentiate between the different formation scenarios of E+A galaxies, we perform a statistical analysis of the environments of E+A galaxies. We spectroscopically identify a large sample of post-starburst galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 (SDSS DR7) using a selection criteria based on $H{\delta}$ equivalent width. We report our findings and discuss their implications in the context of post-starburst galaxy formation.

A problem formulation and solution for design optimization of laminated composite channel section beam is presented in this study. The objective of this study is the determination of optimum section dimensions of composite laminated channel section beam which has equivalent flexural rigidities to flexural rigidities of steel channel section beam. The analytical model is based on the laminate theory and accounts for the material coupling for arbitrary laminate stacking sequence configuration. The model is used to determine the optimal section dimensions of composite channel section beam. The web height, flange width and thickness of the beam are treated as design variables. The solutions described are found using a global search algorithm, Genetic Algorithms (GA).

The first near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopic survey of SDSS-selected blue early-type galaxies (BEGs) has been conducted using the AKARI/IRC. The NIR spectra of 36 BEGs are successfully secured, which are well balanced in their SF/Seyfert/LINER type composition. For high signal-to-noise ratio, we stack the BEG spectra all and in bins of several properties: color, specific star formation rate and optically-determined spectral type. We estimate the NIR continuum slope and the 3.3 micron PAH emission equivalent width in the stacked BEG spectra, and compare them with those of SSP model galaxies and known ULIRGs. We first report the NIR spectral features of BEGs and discuss the nature of BEGs based on the comparison with other objects.
