In this paper, we propose a fast bitrate reduction transcoding method to convert a bitstream coded by H.264 into a lower bitrate H.264 bitstream. Block mode informations and motion vectors generated by H.264 decoder are used for probability-based block mode determination in the proposed transcoding method. And the motion vector reuse and motion vector refinement process are applied in the proposed transcoding. In the experiment results, the proposed methods achieves approximately 40 times improvement in computation complexity compared with the cascaded pixel domain transcoding, while the PSNR(Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) is degraded with only $0.1\~0.3$ dB.

The Rietveld structure refinement for the natural trioctahedral mica, phlogopite-1M (Parker Mine, Quebec, Canada) has been done by high resolution neutron powder diffraction at $25^{\circ}C$ and -263$^{\circ}C$. The structural formula of phlogopite determined by electron probe microanalysis is $K_2$(M $g_{4.46}$F $e_{0.83}$A $l_{0.34}$ $Ti_{0.22}$)(S $i_{5.51}$A $l_{2.49}$) $O_{20}$(O $H_{3.59}$ $F_{0.41}$). Cell parameters are a=5.30∼5.31 $\AA$, b=9.18∼9.20 $\AA$, c=10.18∼10.21 $\AA$, $\beta$=100.06∼100.08$^{\circ}$. Refinements converged to R values in the range of $R_{p}$=2.35%, $R_{wp}$=3.01%, respectively. In this study, the OH bond length is calculated to 0.93 $\AA$ at room temperature and 1.03 $\AA$ at -263$^{\circ}C$, and the angles between OH vector and (001) plane are obtained 93.4$^{\circ}$∼93.6$^{\circ}$. The decrease in the length of OH with the increase in temperature should be due to the hydrogen bonding in the structure of phogopite.e.e.f phogopite.e.e.

The present work deals with microstructure and tensile deformation of nanostructured dual-phase steel consisting of ferrite and martensite phases. Prior to deformation, a fully martensite phase is prepared and then processed by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) and subsequent annealing. Room-temperature tensile properties are examined and compared to those of dual-phase steels with coarse grains. Due to the combined effects coming from the grain refinement of both phases and their uniform distributions, the nanostructured dual-phase steel exhibits better strength and ductility than coarse grained counterpart, achieving ${\sim}1\;GPa$ and ${\sim}20%$ for tensile strength and elongation, respectively.

A new finite element technology based on the p-version of E.F.M. is discussed with reference to its potential for application to stress intensity factor computations in linear elastic fracture mechanics, especially cracked cylindrical shells. It is shown that the p-version model is far better suited for computing the stress intensity factors than the conventional h-version models with the help of three test problems. The main advantage of this technology is that the accuracy of approximation can be established without mesh refinement or the use of special procedures such as crack-tip element and mixed variational approach.

A multiblock grid generation has been developed to be reliably used for a Navier-Stokes simulation of the turbomachinery flow-fields A multiblock structure simplifies the creation of structured H-grids about complex turbomachinery geometries and facilitate the creation of a grid in the tip flow region. The numerical algorithm adopts the combination of the algebraic and elliptic method to create the internal grids efficiently and quickly. The grid refinement process is enhanced by developing strategies to utilized Bezier curves and splines along with weighted transfinite interpolation technique and by formulating the grid-imbedding method for the viscous boundary-layer meshes. For purposes of illustration, the grid generator is applied to the high turning turbine rotor blades. Two different types of computational grids are provided to be compared with respect to the grid adaptation to the flow simulations. Extension to three-dimensions was done to show the possibility of its application to the tip-flow simulations. The grid quality of the multiblock structure is good in the passages, with gloval orthogonality and adequate smoothness.

Fine grid calculations are reported for the developing turbulent flow in a straight duct and a curved duct of square cross-section with a radius of curvature to hydraulic diameter ratio ${\delta}=R_c/H_H=3.357$ and a bend angle of 180 deg. A sequence of modeling refinements is introduced; the replacement of wall function by a fine mesh across the sublayer and a low Reynolds number second moment closure up to the near wall sublayer in which the non-linear return to isotropy model and the cubic-quasi-isotropy model for the pressure strain are adopted; and the introduction of a multiple source model for the exact dissipation rate equation. Each refinement is shown to lead to an appreciable improvement in the agreement between measurement and computation.

Carbon nanotubes(CNTs) are expected to be ideal reinforcements of metal matrix composite materials used in aircraft and sports industries due to their high strength and low density. In this study, a high pressure torsion(HPT) process at an elevated temperature(473K) was employed to achieve both powder consolidation and grain refinement of aluminummatrix nanocomposites reinforced by 5vol% CNTs. CNT/Al nanocomposite powders were fabricated using a novel molecular-level mixing process to enhance the interface bonding between the CNTs and metal matrix before the HPT process. The HPT processed disks were composed of mostly equilibrium grain boundaries. The CNT-reinforced ultrafine grained microstructural features resulted in high strength and good ductility.

Thin CoCrTa/Cr films were deposited on glass substrates at $280^{\circ}C$ with or without Al underlayer. The coercivity of CoCrTa increased considerably by introducing an Al underlayer. The grain size of Cr thin film deposited on Al underlayer became smaller than that of Cr thin film deposited on glass substrate. The grain size of CoCrTa thin film was determined by Cr grain size. The cause of the coercivity increase seems to be associated with the refinement and uniform distribution of CoCrTa grains.

This study investigated the effect of extrusion conditions on microstructures and mechanical properties of AM80 magnesium alloys. The billets of magnesium alloy used for hot extrusion were prepared by permanent mold casting method, and its extrusion was hot direct extrusion with different extrusion conditions. The results of microstructural analysis showed that the main phases in the as-casted alloys were ${\alpha}-Mg$, ${\beta}-Mg_{17}Al_{12}$, and lamella $Mg_{17}Al_{12}$. Hot extrusion results, The tensile strength of the most soundly manufactured extruded bars (extrusion temp: $350^{\circ}C$, extrusion ratio: 27:1, ram speed: 2mm/s) was approximately 327MPa at room temperature. The increase in the mechanical properties of hot-extruded alloys was as a result of grain refinement by dynamical recrystallization during hot extrusion.

With the increasing demand for light-weight materials to reduce fuel consumption, the automobile industry has extensively studied magnesium alloys which are light weight metals. The intrinsic poor formability and poor ductility at ambient temperature due to the hexagonal close-packed (HCP) crystal structure and the associated insufficient number of independent slip systems restricts the practical usage of these alloys. Hot working of magnesium alloys using a forging or extrusion enables net-shape manufacturing with enhanced formability and ductility since there are several operative non-basal slip systems in addition to basal slip plane, which increases the workability. In this research, the thermomechanical properties of AZ80 Mg alloy were obtained by compression testing at the various temperatures and strain rates. Optical microscopy and EBSD were used to study the microstructural behavior such as misorientation distribution and dynamic recrystallization. The results were correlated to the hardening and the softening of the alloy. The experimental data in conjunction with a physical explanation provide the optimal conditions for net-shape forging under hot or warm temperatures through control of the grain refinement and the working conditions.
