The bathymetric and gravity data were obtained in 2001 and 2003 during a survey of seamounts in the northwest of the Marshall Islands, western Pacific. The study areas are located in the Pigafetta Basin which is the oldest part of the Pacific plate and in the Ogasawara Fracture Zone which formed from the spreading ridge between the Izanagi and Pacific plates in the Jurassic. The densities of seamounts and the elastic thickness values of the lithosphere are calculated by using three-dimensional flexure modeling considering the constant sediment layer in the infinite plate model. Very low elastic thickness values (5km), relatively young seamounts, and old lithosphere in the east study area suggest the possibility of the rejuvenation of lithosphere by widespread volcanisms, whereas the elastic thickness values (15km), relatively old seamounts, and young lithosphere of the west study area are suitable for a simple cooling plate model of $300-600^{\circ}C$ isotherm. The gravity residuals of OSM6-1 and OSM6-2 suggest the possibility of different load density or elastic thickness. Relatively older OSM6-2 formed on the younger lithosphere with relatively thin elastic thickness, while younger OSM6-1 on the older lithosphere with relatively thick elastic thickness.

This paper presents a new formulation for forward scalar wave simulations in semi-infinite media. Perfectly-Matched-Layers (PMLs) are used as a wave absorbing boundary layer to surround a finite computational domain truncated from the semi-infinite domain. In this work, a hybrid formulation was developed for the simulation of scalar wave motion in two-dimensional PML-truncated domains. In this formulation, displacements and stresses are considered as unknowns in the PML domain, while only displacements are considered to be unknowns in the interior domain. This formulation reduces computational cost compared to fully-mixed formulations. To obtain governing wave equations in the PML region, complex coordinate stretching transformation was introduced to equilibrium, constitutive, and compatibility equations in the frequency domain. Then, equations were converted back to the time-domain using the inverse Fourier transform. The resulting equations are mixed (contain both displacements and stresses), and are coupled with the displacement-only equation in the regular domain. The Newmark method was used for the time integration of the semi-discrete equations.

In recent years, many countries have added railway noise to the issues covered by noise regulations. It is known that the rail is the dominant source of rolling noise at frequency range of 500Hz-2000Hz for the conventional speeds (<160km/h). One of the effective ways to reduce noise from railway track is using a rail vibration absorber. To study the acoustic performance of rail absorber, the decay rates of vibration have long been used by researcher. In this paper, A FE model of a periodic supported rail with infinite element in ABAQUS is developed to study the acoustic performance of the rail absorber. To compute the decay rates, acceleration responses along the rail transferred to MATLAB to obtain response levels in frequency domain and then by processing the response levels, the decay rates obtained for each1/3octav band. Continous rail absorber is represented by a steel layer and an elastomer layer. The decay rates for conventional rail and rail with one-side absorber and also, the rail with two side absorber are obtained and compared. Then, to improve the system of rail absorber, a steel plate with elastomer layer is added to bottom of the rail foot. The vertical decay rate results show that the decay rate of rail vibration along the track is significantly increased around the tuned frequency of the absorber and thus the rail vibration energy is substantially reduced in the corresponding frequency region and also effective in rail noise reduction.

The influence of surface elasticity and surface residual stress on the elastic field of an isotropic nanoscale elastic layer of finite thickness bonded to a rigid material base is considered by employing the Gurtin-Murdoch continuum theory of elastic material surfaces. The fundamental solutions corresponding to buried vertical and horizontal line loads are obtained by using Fourier integral transform techniques. Selected numerical results are presented for the cases of a finite elastic layer and a semi-infinite elastic medium to portray the influence of surface elasticity and residual surface stress on the bulk stress field. It is found that the bulk stress field depends significantly on both surface elastic constants and residual surface stress. The consideration of out-of-plane terms of the surface stress yields significantly different solutions compared to previous studies. The solutions presented in this study can be used to examine a variety of practical problems involving nanoscale/soft material systems and to develop boundary integral equations methods for such systems.

Reid and Kajiura(1957)은 해저면에 무한한 깊이의 투수층이 존재할 경우에의 파의 감쇠율을 유도하였다. 본 연구에서는 유한한 깊이의 투수층이 존재할 경우에의 파의 감쇠율을 선형파이론을 이용하여 유도하였다. 그리고 이를 확장하여 해저면에 재질이 다른 2 층 또는 3 층의 투수층이 존재할 경우에 파의 감쇠율을 제시하였다. 다음으로 이를 완경사 방정식에 적용하여, 해저면에 투수층이 존재할 경우에의 파의 투과율을 계산하였으며, 1층 투수층이 존재할 경우의 수치계산결과를 Flaten and Rygg(1991)의 적분식 방법과 비교하여 검증하였다.

One-dimensional numerical model is implemented to investigate temperature variations in the mixed layer depth (MLD) with the passage of typhoons. In the model, we assume a non-divergent, infinite ocean and consider wind effects only, excluding isostatic effects (inverse barometric effects) and upwelling with vertical movement of the water column. Numerical experiments investigate the effects of typhoon tracks on temperature variations, including their dependence on vertical resolutions in the MLD and these results are compared with those in a three-dimensional primitive equation model (POM). The model reproduces features of the observed temperature variations in the MLD fairly well, and implies that wind effects, rather than isostatic effects, play a predominant role in temporal and spatial temperature variations in the MLD. After the passage of typhoons, however, the model does not reproduce well the temperature variations observed in the MLD, because a limitation of the model is its inability to reproduce events such as cyclonic eddy formation (Hong et al., 2011; Masuda and Hong, 2011). The model also shows well the so called 'rightward bias' (Price, 1981) of sea surface cooling which is the most predominant in the right hand side of typhoon's track.

In this study, the two-dimensional crack problem was investigated by using the finite element method (FEM)-based ANSYS package program and the artificial neural network (ANN)-based multilayer perceptron (MLP) method. For this purpose, a half-infinite functionally graded (FG) layer with a crack pressed through two rigid blocks was analyzed using FEM and ANN. Mass forces and friction were neglected in the solution. To control the validity of the crack problem model exercised, the acquired results were compared with a study in the literature. In addition, FEM and ANN results were checked using Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and coefficient of determination (R²), and a well agreement was found. Numerical solutions were made considering different geometric parameters and material properties. The stress intensity factor (SIF) was examined for these values, and the results were presented. Consequently, it is concluded that the considered non-dimensional quantities have a noteworthy influence on the SIF. Also FEM and ANN can be logical alternative methods to time-consuming analytical solutions if used correctly.

Background: The main purpose of drug delivery systems is to deliver the drugs at the appropriate concentration to the precise target site. Recently, the application of a thin film in the field of drug delivery has gained increasing interest because of its ability to safely load drugs and to release the drug in a controlled manner, which improves drug efficacy. Drug loading by the thin film can be done in various ways, depending on type of the drug, the area of exposure, and the purpose of drug delivery. Main text: This review summarizes the various methods used for preparing thin films with drugs via Layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly. Furthermore, additional functionalities of thin films using surface modification in drug delivery are briefly discussed. There are three types of methods for preparing a drug-carrying multilayered film using LbL assembly. First methods include approaches for direct loading of the drug into the pre-fabricated multilayer film. Second methods are preparing thin films using drugs as building blocks. Thirdly, the drugs are incorporated in the cargo so that the cargo itself can be used as the materials of the film. Conclusion: The appropriate designs of the drug-loaded film were produced in consideration of the release amounts and site of the desired drug. Furthermore, additional surface modification using the LbL technique enabled the preparation of effective drug delivery carriers with improved targeting effect. Therefore, the multilayer thin films fabricated by the LbL technique are a promising candidate for an ideal drug delivery system and the development possibilities of this technology are infinite.

무선랜(Wireless LAN)으로 현재 널리 쓰이고 있는 IEEE 802.11 표준 프로토콜은 채널상태에 따라 다양한 데이타 전송률(data rate)을 지원한다. 서로 다른 데이타 전송률을 사용하는 여러 단말들이 동일한 무선랜에 존재할 경우 낮은 전송률을 사용하는 단말 때문에 높은 전송률을 지원하는 단말의 처리율이 저하되는 성능 이상(Performance Anomaly) 문제가 발생한다. 이러한 성능 이상 문제를 해결하는 방법으로 모든 단말에 동일한 전송시간을 제공하는 시간 공정성(Temporal Fairness) 개념이 제안되었다. 그러나 현재 제안된 대부분의 시간 공정성 제공방안은 MAC 계층에서 보낼 패킷이 항상 있는 상황을 가정하여 전송계층 프로토콜의 특성은 고려하지 않았다는 제약점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 대표적인 전송계층 프로토콜인 TCP와 UDP가 사용되는 환경에서 현재까지 제시된 시간 공정성 제공방안이 어떤 성능을 보이는지 분석하고, 전송계층의 특성 때문에 발생하는 문제점들을 해결하기 위해서 AP에 높은 우선 순위를 제공하는 AP 우선순위 방법과 노드의 CWmin 을 조절하는 동적 CWmin 조절 방안을 제안한다. 제안한 방법을 적용하면 다중 데이타 전송률을 사용하는 무선랜에서 전송계층으로 TCP, UDP 프로토콜이 혼재할 경우에도 전체적인 시간 공정성을 유지할 수 있고 전체 데이타 처리율(total throughput)이 향상된다는 것을 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 검증하였다.

이 논문에서는 스펙트럴 요소법과 외연적 시간적분법을 이용해 SH파의 전파 거동을 계산하는 수치해석 기법을 제시한다. 2차원 영역에서의 탄성파 해석을 위해 해석영역을 유한 영역으로 한정하고 파동이 반사되지 않도록 수치적 파동흡수 경계조건인 perfectly matched layer(PML)를 도입하였다. PML이 포함된 시간영역 파동방정식의 유한요소해법을 위해 스펙트럴 요소법을 적용하였고 Legendre- Gauss-Lobatto 수치적분법을 사용하여 질량행렬을 대각화하였다. 2차 미분방정식 시스템의 파동방정식을 1차 미분방정식 시스템으로 변환하였고 병렬화를 통한 탄성파 해석 성능의 최적화를 위해 외연적 시간적분법인 4차 Runge-Kutta 방법을 이용해 해석영역에서의 변위응답을 계산하였다. 2차원 해석영역에서 SH파의 전파 거동을 계산하는 수치예제를 통해 제시한 외연적 스펙트럴 요소법의 정확성을 검증하였고 PML로 인한 반사파의 감쇠효과를 확인하였다. 외연적 시간적분법을 통한 탄성파 해석 기법은 3차원 영역과 같은 대규모 문제에서의 탄성파 수치해석을 효율적으로 수행할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
