To invetigate the impurity distribution in GaAs crystal grown by horizontal Bridgman method, we constructd the mathematical model describing heat transfer, mass transfer and fluid flow n transient growth of GaAs. Galerkin finite element method and implicit time integration were used to solve the equations and simulate the transient growth. The concentration distribution is similar to the case of diffusion controlled growth when Gr - 0. With the increase of Gr the concentration profile is distroted and the minimum solute concentration appears near the interface. As solidification prosceeds, interface deflection increases steadily and transverse segregation increases until mixing by flow becomes steady. The axial segregation increases with solidification. But, with high intensity of flow axial segregation becomes steady after short transient. At small and large Gr the result showed a good agreememt with the prediction Smith and Scheil.

Considering the natural phenomenon in which steep slopes ($65^{\circ}{\sim}85^{\circ}$) consisting of rock mass remain stable for decades, slopes steeper than 1:0.5 (the standard of slope angle for blast rock) may be applied in geotechnical conditions which are similar to those above at the design and initial construction stages. In the process of analysing the stability of a good to fair continuum rock slope that can be designed as a steep slope, a general method of estimating rock mass strength properties from design practice perspective was required. Practical and genealized engineering methods of determining the properties of a rock mass are important for a good continuum rock slope that can be designed as a steep slope. The Genealized Hoek-Brown (H-B) failure criterion and GSI (Geological Strength Index), which were revised and supplemented by Hoek et al. (2002), were assessed as rock mass characterization systems fully taking into account the effects of discontinuities, and were widely utilized as a method for calculating equivalent Mohr-Coulomb shear strength (balancing the areas) according to stress changes. The concept of calculating equivalent M-C shear strength according to the change of confining stress range was proposed, and on a slope, the equivalent shear strength changes sensitively with changes in the maximum confining stress (${{\sigma}^{\prime}}_{3max}$ or normal stress), making it difficult to use it in practical design. In this study, the method of estimating the strength properties (an iso-angle division method) that can be applied universally within the maximum confining stress range for a good to fair continuum rock mass slope is proposed by applying the H-B failure criterion. In order to assess the validity and applicability of the proposed method of estimating the shear strength (A), the rock slope, which is a study object, was selected as the type of rock (igneous, metamorphic, sedimentary) on the steep slope near the existing working design site. It is compared and analyzed with the equivalent M-C shear strength (balancing the areas) proposed by Hoek. The equivalent M-C shear strength of the balancing the areas method and iso-angle division method was estimated using the RocLab program (geotechnical properties calculation software based on the H-B failure criterion (2002)) by using the basic data of the laboratory rock triaxial compression test at the existing working design site and the face mapping of discontinuities on the rock slope of study area. The calculated equivalent M-C shear strength of the balancing the areas method was interlinked to show very large or small cohesion and internal friction angles (generally, greater than $45^{\circ}$). The equivalent M-C shear strength of the iso-angle division is in-between the equivalent M-C shear properties of the balancing the areas, and the internal friction angles show a range of $30^{\circ}$ to $42^{\circ}$. We compared and analyzed the shear strength (A) of the iso-angle division method at the study area with the shear strength (B) of the existing working design site with similar or the same grade RMR each other. The application of the proposed iso-angle division method was indirectly evaluated through the results of the stability analysis (limit equilibrium analysis and finite element analysis) applied with these the strength properties. The difference between A and B of the shear strength is about 10%. LEM results (in wet condition) showed that Fs (A) = 14.08~58.22 (average 32.9) and Fs (B) = 18.39~60.04 (average 32.2), which were similar in accordance with the same rock types. As a result of FEM, displacement (A) = 0.13~0.65 mm (average 0.27 mm) and displacement (B) = 0.14~1.07 mm (average 0.37 mm). Using the GSI and Hoek-Brown failure criterion, the significant result could be identified in the application evaluation. Therefore, the strength properties of rock mass estimated by the iso-angle division method could be applied with practical shear strength.

A new numerical method using solution-adaptive grids (SAG) is developed to solve the Richards' equation (RE) for unsaturated flow in porous media. Using a grid generation technique, the SAG method automatically redistributes a fixed number of grid points during the flow process, so that more grid points are clustered in regions of large solution gradients. The method uses the coordinate transformation technique to employ a new transformed RE, which is solved with the standard finite difference method. The movement of grid points is incorporated into the transformed RE, and therefore all computation is performed on fixed grid points of the transformed domain without using any interpolation techniques. Thus, numerical difficulties arising from the movement of the wetting front during the infiltration process have been substantially overcome by the new method. Numerical experiments for an one-dimensional infiltration problem are presented to compare the SAG method to the modified Picard method using a fixed grid. Results show that accuracy of a SAG solution using 41 nodes is comparable with the solution of the fixed grid method using 201 nodes, while it requires only 50% of the CPU time. The global mass balance and the convergence of SAG solutions are strongly affected by the time step size (Δt) and the weighting parameter (${\gamma}$) used for generating solution-adaptive grids. Thus, the method requires automated readjustment of Δt and ${\gamma}$ to yield mass-conservative and convergent solutions, although it may increase computational costs. The method can be effective especially for simulating unsaturated flow and other transport problems involving the propagation of a sharp-front.

Experimental and theoretical works were performed for the separation of large polyelectrolyte, such as DNA, in a column packed with gel particles under the influence of an electric field. Since DNA quickly orient in the field direction through the pores, this paper presents how intraparticle convection affects the residence time distribution of DNAs in the column. The concept is further illustrated with examples from solid -liquid systems, for example, from chromatography Showing how the column efficiency is improved by the use of a n electric field. Dimensionless transient mass balance equations were derived, taking into consideration both diffusion and electrophoretic convection. The separation criteria are theoretically studied using two different Peclet numbers in the fluid and solid phases. These criteria were experimentally verified using two different DNAs via electrophoretic mobility measurements. which showed how the separation position of the DNAs varies in the column in relation to the Peg/Pef values of an individual DNA. The residence time distribution was solved by an operator theory and the characteristic method to yield the column response.

We evaluated the orbital elements of BV light curves of a short period RS CVn type eclipsing binary system UV Picsium that shows complication light variation, by analyzing with the Winson-Devinney's differential correction method. Because the analyzed light curves shows large light variation at outside eclipse region, we assumed spotted region of the primary component and calculated its position and size. The results show the UV Psc is a detached binary system of nearly the same radii and the primary component has high mass with high temperature. However this result is not consistant with customary stellar models, thus requires more observational data to confirm this problem.

Recently, rudder erosion due to cavitation frequently has occurred at large high speed container carriers. Especially, in the case of a horn-type rudder, the rudder erosion is severe around a gap. The gap-flow characteristics are investigated through a computational method to understand the effects of a gap on the cavitation and rudder efficiency. A viscous flow theory utilizing a cavitation model is applied to calculate the flow around idealized 2-dimensional rudder sections in a full scale. The effects of gap clearance and flow-control projection are also investigated. From the computational results, the mass flow rate through a gap is found to be one of the important parameters to affect the cavitation and rudder efficiency.

This paper deals with finite element analysis for free vibration and forced sine vibration of Ka- and Ku- bend antenna structures using MSC/PATRAN/NASTRAN. The structures are designed to satisfy minimum resonance frequency requirement in order to decouple the dynamic interaction of the satellite with the spacecraft bus structure. From the forced sinusoidal vibration, we have observed output acceleration versus input in X-,Y- and Z- direction, based on base excitation using large mass method. The results of finite elements analysis can be used as the reference data for the experimental test of satellite antenna, resulting in the reduction of cost and time by predicting and complementing experimental data.

To investigate the characteristics of orifice as an expansion devices, the experimental apparatus was made and experiments are being peformed using R22 and R290. The main idea of this control method of refrigerant flow rate with coupled orifices is to control the ON/OFF state of T and Ball type orifice corresponding to the subdivided region of thermal load. When system requires minimum thermal load, both T and Ball type orifices are closed, but refrigerant can flow through small hole of T type orifice. In regular thermal load, when ball type orifice is closed, T type orifice is opened and mass flow rate increase more than OFF state of T type orifice, due to large diameter. In maximum thermal load, both T and Ball type orifices are open and the much refrigerant can flow. The flow characteristics on T type orifice and parallel-combined orifice are obtained in the subdivided region of thermal load.

Spinoglenoid cyst of the shoulder is a rare clinical entity and several treatment modalities have been reported. Recently, arthroscopy is effectively used via communication hole or posterior capsulotomy through the glenohumeral joint. With this method, the complete cystectomy is impossible if the cyst is a large size or extended anteriorly and there are few reports about such cases. We present extra-articular complete cystectomy through bursal space in 3 cases of huge and anteriorly extended spinoglenoid cysts. All patients were able to return to work with no restrictions and 2 patients who performed the follow up MRI demonstrated complete resolution of the cyst and some recovery of the mass of infraspinatus muscle.
