Inelastic seismic response of steel moment frame structures, which are usually quite gravity load and subject to large displacement under severe earthquake, may be severly influenced by the structure P-Δ effects. The P-Δ effect may have an important impact on the dynamic behavior of the structure in the nonlinear seismic analysis. In multi degree of freedom systems P-Δ effects may significantly affect only a subset of stories or a single story alone. Therefore, a story drift amplification of structure is happened by P-Δeffects and such nonlinear dynamic behaviors are very difficult to evaluate in the structures. In this study, two systems having different design methods of steel moment frame structures are investigated to evaluate the P-Δ effects due to gravity load. The plastic hinge formations, maximum rotational ductility demands, and energy distribution will be compared and evaluated following whether the P-Δ effects are considered or not. And design methods are proposed for the prevention of the instability of structures which due to the P-Δ effects.

The electrocaloric effect in $0.94(Bi_{0.5}Na_{0.5})TiO_3+0.06KNbO3+0.9wt%$ G.F.ferroelectricceramics was observed in terms of the temperature change (${\Delta}T$) of the fabricated ceramics, Curie temperature $T_c$, and applied electric field. The specimens were fabricated by a conventional solid-state reaction. $T_c$ appeared near $165{\sim}170^{\circ}C$. The P-E hysteresis showed a tendency to slim down with a temperature increase and finally was slimmest near $150^{\circ}C$. With the increase of temperature, the polarization revealed a gradual decrease, and a sharp decline near $T_c$. When an electric field of 45 kV/cm was applied, the largest polarization was shown. The maximum value of the temperature change (${\Delta}T=0.31^{\circ}C$) was obtained at $165^{\circ}C$ under an applied electric field of 45 kV/cm.

The new six herbicidal N-[(pyrimidin-2-yl)aminocarbonyl]-2-substituted-6-(1-hydroxy-2-fluoroethyl)benzenesulfonamide derivatives(S) were synthesized and rate constants for the hydrolysis of thier in the range of pH $1.0{\sim}10.0$ have been studied in 15%(v/v) aqueous acetonitrile solution at $45^{\circ}C$. From the basis of the results, pH-effect, solvent effect, ortho-substituent effect, thermodynamic parameters(${\Delta}H^{\neq}$ & ${\Delta}S^{\neq}$), pKa constant(4.80), rate equation, analysis of hydrolysis products(2-(1-hydroxy-2-fluoroethyl)benzenesulfonamide & 4,6-dimethoxyaminopyrimidine), it may be concluded that the general acid catalyzed hydrolysis through $A-S_E2$ mechanism and specific acid catalyzed hydrolysis through A-2 type(or $A_{AC}2$) mechanism proceeds via conjugate acid($SH^+$) and tetrahedral intermediate(I) below pH 8.0, whereas, above pH 9.0, the general base catalyzed hydrolysis by water molecules(B) through $(E_1)_{anion}$ mechanism proceeds via conjugate base(CB). In the range between $pH\;7.0{\sim}pH\;9.0$, these two reactions occur competitively.

Cylinder pressure level is defined the value of sound pressure level derived from relations of pressure and frequency which are obtained Fourier series expansion of cylinder pressure. CPL is alone in general use in combustion analysis without regarding attenuation coefficient determined by engine structure because it is almost constant in various kinds of engines. Combustion pressure fluctuation and influence of CPL was investigated in this paper using Wiebe combustion function superposition th obtain the effect of premixed and diffusive combustion. The results are as follow. (1) Influence of combustion maximum pressure(P$\sub$max/) on CPL is correspond with total energy per cycle well. (2) P$\sub$max/, .DELTA.P$\sub$max/, (dp/d.theta.)$\sub$max/ and (d$\^$2/p/d.theta.$\^$2/)$\sub$max/ are very effective on CPL in the range of low frequency, mid-low frequency, mid-high frequency and high frequency respectively.

When the lateral forces are applied to a frame, columns in the frame are usually accompanied with sidesway. If this sidesway is large, the frame is subjected to buckling and an early yielding of members which reduces the overall frame stiffness. In this study, numerical analysis of frames were conducted to evaluate the ultimate lateral strength of steel moment resisting frames permitted to sidesway under axial and lateral forces, and develope the procedure for determining the limits of column slenderness ratios. In the numerical analysis, the effects of the relative stiffness ratio between beam and column, deterioration of overall frame stiffness, slenderness ratio and loading conditions were considered. The elasto-plastic analysis method in which the $P-{\Delta}$effect is implemented, presented by the author previously, was adopted in the analysis. Incremental lateral forces were applied to the frame under constant axial loads and the generalized inverse is employed for the post-ultimate behavior.

Condensation heat transfer experiments were conducted with a oblong shell and plate heat exchanger without oil in a refrigerant loop using R-134a. An experimental refrigerant loop has been developed to measure the condensation heat transfer coefficient $h_r$ and frictional pressure drop ${\Delta}p_f$ of R-134a in a vertical oblong shell and plate heat exchanger. Four vertical counter flow channels were formed in the oblong shell and plate heat exchanger by four plates having a corrugated sinusoid shape of a $45^{\circ}$ chevron angle. The effects of the refrigerant mass flux, average heat flux, refrigerant saturation temperature and vapor quality were explored in detail. Similar to the case of a plate heat exchanger, even at a very low Reynolds number, the flow in the oblong shell and plate heat exchanger remains turbulent. The results indicate that the condensation heat transfer coefficients and pressure drops increase with the vapor quality. A rise in the refrigerant mass flux causes an increase in the $h_r\;and\;{\Delta}p_f$. Also, a rise in the average heat flux causes an increase in the $h_r$. But the effect of the average heat flux does not show significant effect on the ${\Delta}p_f$. On the other hand, at a higher saturation temperature, both the $h_r\;and\;{\Delta}p_f$. found to be lower. Based on the present data, the empirical correlations are provided in terms of the Nusselt number and friction factor.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to examine the effect of electroacupuncture(EA) at an acupoint, HT8(Sobu), on normal humans by using power spectral analysis. We examined the effect on the Heart Rate Variability(HRV), and the balance of the autonomic nervous system. Methods : Thirty-two healthy volunteers participated in this study. EEG(Electroencephalogram) power spectrum exhibits site-specific and state-related differences in specific frequency bands. A thirty-two channel EEG study was carried out on thirty-two subjects(14 males; mean age=23.5 years old, 18 females; mean age=21.5 years old). HRV and EEG were simultaneously recorded before and after acupuncture. Results : In the ${\alpha}$(alpha) band, during the HT8-acupoint treatment, the power values in the ${\alpha}$(alpha) band significantly decreased(p<0.05) at 28 channels. In the ${\beta}$(beta) band significantly decreased(p<0.05) at 26 channels. In ${\delta}$(delta) band significantly decreased(p<0.05) at 18 channels. In ${\theta}$(theta) band significantly decreased(p<0.05) at 20 channels. ${\alpha}/{\beta}$ values were increased at 6 channels and decreased at 10 channels.${\beta}/{\theta}$ values were increased at 10 channels and decreased at 19 channels. Mean-RR(RR-interval), Complexity, RMSSD(Root mean square of successive differences), SDSD(Standard deviations differences between adjacent normal R-R intervals), norm HF showed a significantly increased and mean-HRV, norm LF, LHR(LF/HF Ratio) showed a significantly decreased after HT8-acupoint treatment(p<0.05). Conclusions : These results suggest that EA at the HT8 mostly causes significant changes on alpha(28 channels), beta(26 channels), delta(18 channels), theta(20 channels) bands and mean-HRV, mean-RR, complexity, RMSSD, SDSD, norm LF, norm HF and LHR. If practicing EA at the HT8, it will regulate the function of the cerebral cortex, decrease activity of the sympathetic and increase parasympathetic nervous activity.

High performance SiGe heterostructure metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors(MOSFETs) were fabricated using well-controlled delta-doping of boron and SiGe/Si heterostructure epitaxal layers grown by reduced pressure chemical vapor deposition. In this paper, we report 1/f noise characteristics of the SiGe MOSFETs measured under various bias conditions of the gate and drain voltages changing in linear operation regions. From the noise spectral density, we found that the gate and drain voltage dependence of the noise represented same features, as usually scaled with $f^1$. However, 1/f noise was found to be much lower in the device with boron delta-doped layer, by a factor of $10^{-1}\sim10^{-2}$ in comparion with the device fabricated without delta-doped layer. 1/f noise property of delta-doped device looks important because the device may replace bipolar transistors most commonly embedded in high-frequency oscillator circuits.

Objectives: This study examined the color changes of a resin composite with different shades upon exposure to water with different pH. Materials and Methods: Nanohybrid resin composites (Filtek Z350XT, 3M ESPE) with four different shades (A2, A3, B1, and B2) were immersed in water with three different pH (pH 3, 6, and 9) for 14 day. The CIE $L^*a^*b^*$ color coordinates of the specimens were evaluated before and after immersion in the solutions. The color difference (${\Delta}E^*$) and the translucency parameter (TP) were calculated using the color coordinates. Results: ${\Delta}E^*$ ranged from 0.33 to 1.58, and the values were affected significantly by the pH. The specimens immersed in a pH 6 solution showed the highest ${\Delta}E^*$ values (0.87 - 1.58). The specimens with a B1 shade showed the lowest ${\Delta}E^*$ change compared to the other shades. TP ranged from 7.01 to 9.46 depending on the pH and resin shade. The TP difference between before and after immersion in the pH solutions was less than 1.0. Conclusions: The resulting change of color of the tested specimens did not appear to be clinically problematic because the color difference was < 1.6 in the acidic, neutral, and alkaline solutions regardless of the resin shade, i.e., the color change was imperceptible.

Objectives : The aim of this study is to examine the effects of acupuncture at PC7(Daereung) on normal human EEG using power spectral analysis. Methods : EEG power spectrum exhibits site-specific and state-related differences in specific frequency bands. In this study, power spectrum was used as a measure of complexity. 30 subjects (16 males and 14 females; averaged age = 23.4 years) were engaged with thirty channel EEG study. Results : In $\alpha$(alpha) band, the power values at Fp1, Fp2, F7, F8 channels(p<0.05) during PC7 treatment were significantly decreased. But, the power values at Fz channel(p<0.05) during non-acupoint treatment was significantly decreased. In $\beta$(beta) band, the power values at Fp1, Fp2 channels(p<0.05) during PC7 treatment were significantly decreased. But, the power values at Fz channel(p<0.05) during non-acupoint treatment was significantly decreased and at F8, TCP2 channels(p<0.05) during non-acupoint treatment were increased. In $\theta$(theta) band, the power values at Fp1, Fp2, F7, F8 channels(p<0.05) during PC7 treatment were significantly decreased. But, the power values at Fz channel(p<0.05) during non-acupoint treatment was significantly decreased. In $\delta$(delta) band, the power values at Fp1, Fp2, F7, Fz, F8 channels (p<0.05) during PC7 treatment were significantly decreased. But, the power values at Fz channel (p<0.05) during non-acupoint treatment was significantly decreased. $\alpha/\beta$ values during PC7 treatment were decreased. $\beta/\theta$ values during PC7 treatment were decreased. Conclusion : These results suggest that acupuncture at PC7 induce the change on $\alpha$(alpha), $\beta$(beta), $\theta$ (theta), $\delta$(delta) wave values being decreased and and bothe $\alpha/\beta$ and $\beta/\theta$ values being decreased respectively. This is considered that acupuncture at PC7 affects the activity of cerebral cortex and endocrine system.
