  • Deployable structures have the ability to shift from a compact state to an expanded functional configuration. By extension, reconfigurability is another function that relies on embedded computation and actuators. Linkage-based mechanisms constitute promising systems in the development of deployable and reconfigurable structures with high flexibility and controllability. The present paper investigates the deployment and reconfigurability of modular linkage structures with a pin and a sliding support, the latter connected to a linear motion actuator. An appropriate control sequence consists of stepwise reconfigurations that involve the selective releasing of one intermediate joint in each closed-loop linkage, effectively reducing it to a 1-DOF "effective crank-slider" mechanism. This approach enables low self-weight and reduced energy consumption. A kinematics and finite-element analysis of different linkage systems, in all intermediate reconfiguration steps of a sequence, have been conducted for different lengths and geometrical characteristics of the members, as well as different actuation methods, i.e., direct and cable-driven actuation. The study provides insight into the impact of various structural typological and geometrical factors on the systems' behavior.

  • The development of informatization impacts all sectors, including agriculture. Agricultural informatization builds the knowledge linkage structures of agricultural innovation systems globally. This study investigated the global knowledge linkage structures in agricultural innovation pertinent to information technology (IT) for agricultural research and development (R&D) investments and activities. We explored the longitudinal trend of systemness within the networked research relationships in the triple helix (TH) of the university, industry and government (UIG). We collected data from publications in the Science Citation Index (SCI), the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), and the Arts and Humanities Citation Index (A&HCI) to analyze the TH network dynamics. We also performed a scientometrics analysis to quantitatively identify the knowledge and insights of global agricultural innovation structures. These results could be informative for individual countries. Our findings reveal that the global knowledge linkage structures in the agricultural sector that are pertinent to IT fluctuate widely and fail to increase the capacity of agricultural innovation research due to a neglect of the network effects of the TH dynamics of UIG.

  • 미국 오하이오주 씬씨내티 대도시지역을 연구지역으로 하여 소규모 기업의 입지 및 연계 그리고 당면 문제점을 구명하였다. 현 입지의 유리성은 제품의 판매 용이가 가장 중요하게 나타나고 있으며 다음으로 고속도로와의 근접성이 중요한 입지조건이며 이들 기업의 물자의 공간연계는 아주 탄력적인 거리 조락 현상을 나타내고 있다. 지역별 물자의 공간연계를 보면 압도적 다수가 역내에서 공급되고 판매되어 소기업이 물자의 전방연계와 후방연계가 높고 지역경제에의 발전기여도가 높다는 기존의 주장들과 일치된다. 입지적 문제점 조사 결과는 전체적으로 불리한 입지조건이 없다는 응답이 가장 많았으나, 노동력 부족, 과다한 세금, 인접지역의 노후화, 용지부족이 현재 입지에서 불리한 것으로 조사되었다. 현재 소규모 기업이 당면하고 있는 가장 큰 문제는 양질의 노동력 확보가 어렵다는 것이며, 다음으로 제품 판매, 자금, 기술, 시설, 장비의 순으로 어려옴을 겪고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 비록 외부조직과 자문하겠다는 기업이 많지 않으나 이들이 역내 자문조직을 선호하는 것으로 드러났다. 이를 통해 볼 때 양질의 노동력 배출이 우선 과제이며 소규모 기업에 대한 판로개척과 자금지원, 기술 상담 등이 주된 육성방향이라고 본다. 이를 위해 역내 소규모 기업들간의 긴밀한 네트워크가 형성될 필요가 있으며 이들을 지원하는 연구소, 기업 협동조합, 대학간의 상호 협력적인 네트워크 체계를 구축할 필요가 있다.

  • In the present study, we visualize the linkage framework between geometric modeling and shell finite element based on B-spline representation. For the development of a consistent shell element, geometrically exact shell elements based on general curvilinear coordinates is provided. The NUBS(Non Uniform B-Spline) is used to generate the general free form shell surfaces. Employment of NUBS makes shell finite element handle the arbitrary geometry of the smooth shell surfaces. The proposed shell finite element .model linked with NUBS surface representation provides efficiency for the integrated design and analysis of shell surface structures. The linkage framework can potentially provide efficient integrated approach to the shape topological design optimizations for shell structures.

  • The ability to characterize feature objects from radar readings is often limited by simply looking at their still frame reflectivity, differential reflectivity and differential phase data. In many cases, time-series study of these objects' reflectivity profile is required to properly characterize features objects of interest. This paper introduces a novel technique to automatically track multiple 3D radar structures in C,S-band in real-time using Doppler radar and profile their characteristic reflectivity distribution in time series. The extraction of reflectivity profile from different radar cluster structures is done in three stages: 1. static frame (zone-linkage) clustering, 2. dynamic frame (evolution-linkage) clustering and 3. characterization of clusters through time series profile of reflectivity distribution. The two clustering schemes proposed here are applied on composite multi-layers CAPPI (Constant Altitude Plan Position Indicator) radar data which covers altitude range of 0.25 to 10 km and an area spanning over hundreds of thousands $km^2$. Discrete numerical simulations show the validity of the proposed technique and that fast and accurate profiling of time series reflectivity distribution for deformable 3D radar structures is achievable.

  • 주사슬에 메소젠기와 유연격자로써 옥타메틸렌기를 포함하고 있는 반 유연성 액정중합체가 용액 중축합반응에 의하여 합성되었다. 중합체의 메소젠기는 에스터와 케톤, 에터, 설파이드, 메틸렌, 설폰, 또는 아이소프로필리덴기들에 의해 결합된 4개의 방향족고리로 되어 있다. 본 논문에서는, 메소젠기의 가운데 연결기가 중합체의 물성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 고찰하였다. 합성된 중합체의 구조와 성질은 $^1H$-NMR, FT-IR, DSC, TGA, XRD, POM에 의하여 조사되었으며, 그 결과에 의하면, 굽은 구조의 연결기를 가지고 있는 중합체들은 낮은 열전이온도, 좁은 액정상 온도구간, 약한 액정성, 그리고 유기용매에 대한 좋은 용해성을 보여 주었고, 벌크한 연결기를 갖는 중합체들은 무정형 중합체로서 높은 유리전이온도($T_g$)를 나타내었다.

  • A quantum-chemical investigation on the conformations and electronic properties of bis[2-{2-methoxy-4,6-di(t-butyl)phenyl}ethenyl]benzenes (MBPBs) as building block for ${\pi}$-conjugate polymer are performed in order to display the effects of t-butyl and methoxy group substitution and of kink(ortho and meta) linkage. The conjugation length of the polymers can be controlled by substituents and kink linkages of backbone. Structures for the molecules, o-, m-, and p-MBPBs as well as unsubstituted o-, m-, and p-DSBs were fully optimized by using semiempirical AM1, PM3 methods, and ab initio HF method with 3-21G(d) basis set. The potential energy curves with respect to the change of single torsion angle are obtained by using semiempirical methods and ab initio HF/3-21G(d) basis set. The curves are similar shape in the molecules with respect to the position of vinylene groups. It is shown that the conformations of the molecules are compromised between the steric repulsion interaction and the degree of the conjugation. Electronic properties of the molecules were obtained by applying the optimized structures and geometries to the ZINDO/S method. ZINDO/S analysis performed on the geometries obtained by AM1 method and HF/3-21G(d) level is reported. The absorption wavelength on the geometries obtained by AM1 method is much longer than that by HF/3-21G(d) level. The absorption wavelength of MBPBs are red shifted with comparison to that of corresponding DSBs in the same torsion angle because of electron donating substituents. The absorption wavelength of isomers with kink(orth and meta) linkage is shorter than that of para linkage.

  • In order to investigate the structures and growth patterns of pulp and paper industries of Korea, the input-output tables of the year 1995, 2000, 2005 and 2007 were analyzed in this papers. The production inducement coefficients of these industries have grown during the designated period. In 2007, the value of production induced by pulp industry was estimated to be 343,8 billion won. Paper and paper product industries were estimated to induce the production of other industries by 7,281,6 and 8,515.9 billion won, respectively. The import inducement effect of pulp industry was estimated to be larger than that of paper and paper product industries. Analysis on the forward linkage effects indicated that paper and paper product industries were more sensitive to the change in demand of other industries than pulp industry.
