Recent experiments have shown the 'size effects' in micro/nano scale. But the classical plasticity theories can not predict these size dependent deformation behaviors because their constitutive models have no characteristic material length scale. The Mechanism - based Strain Gradient(MSG) plasticity is proposed to analyze the non-uniform deformation behavior in micro/nano scale. The MSG plasticity is a multi-scale analysis connecting macro-scale deformation of the Statistically Stored Dislocation(SSD) and Geometrically Necessary Dislocation(GND) to the meso-scale deformation using the strain gradient. In this research we present a study of nano-indentation by the MSG plasticity. Using W. D. Nix and H. Gao s model, the analytic solution(including depth dependence of hardness) is obtained for the nano indentation , and furthermore it validated by the experiments.

Mechanical behavior of rock joints usually can be characterized by small-scale laboratory shear tests due to economical and technical limitations, but their applicability to the behaviour of rock mass has been always questioned by a number of researchers because of scale effect. Though there have been several researches regarding the scale effect, it has been a controversial problem how to apply the result of small-scale laboratory shear test directly to field design from different conclusions among researchers. In order to grasp the trend of scale effect of shear behavior, a series of direct shear tests on replicas of natural rock joint surfaces made of gypsum cement with different size and roughness were conducted and analyzed. Result showed that as the size of the specimen increased, average peak shear displacement increased, but average shear stiffness and average peak dilation angle decreased. As for the dependency of scale on shear strength, the degree of scale effect was dependent on normal stress and roughness of rock joint. For the condition of low normal stress and high roughness, decrease of average peak shear strength with increasing size of joint was evident.

When a social scientist prepares to conduct a survey, he/she faces the problem of deciding an appropriate sample size. Sample size is closely connected with cost, time, and the precision of the sample estimate. It is thus important to choose a size appropriate for the survey, but this may be difficult for survey researchers not skilled in a sampling theory. In this study we propose a method to determine a sample size under certain assumptions when the quantity of interest is measured by a Likert scale.

In the nano/micro scale, material properties are dependent on the size-scale of a structure. However, conventional micro-scale tensile tests have limitations to obtain reliable values of nano-scale material properties owing to residual stress and elastic slippage in the gripping/aligning process. The indenter-driven nano-scale tensile test provides prominent advantages simple testing device, high-quality nano-scale metallic specimen with negligible residual stress. In this paper, two-types of specimens (a specimen with multi-testing parts and a specimen with a single-testing part) are discussed. Focused ion beam (FIB) is employed to fabricate a nano-scale specimen from a thin nickel film. Using the specimen with a single-testing part, we obtained a nano-scale stress-strain curve of electroplated nickel film.

관찰과 측정을 기본으로 하는 과학의 교과에서 "크기(size)"와 그를 나타내는 "척도(scale)"는 물질의 물리적 속성과 과학적 현상을 이해하도록 돕는 중요한 개념이다. 또한, 사물의 수, 크기나 양을 어림잡거나 그것을 정확하게 표현하는 것은 수학에서 수의 개념 형성과 발달, 표현법의 습득, 나아가서는 연산에 관한 사고로의 발전과 관련되어있는 문제라고 볼 수 있어 "크기와 척도" 개념은 수학과 과학의 기본이며 동시에 두 교과를 연결하는 개념이다. 일반적으로 "크기와 척도"는 쉬운 개념이라 생각되지만, 실제 학생들은 물질의 크기를 제대로 이해하지 못하거나 척도로 나타내는 것을 어려워하는 것을 알 수 있다. 이는 단지 물질의 크기를 정확히 알지 못하는 정확성에 관한 오류로만 그치는 것이 아니라 종종 연관된 개념을 추론하거나 개념을 확장해 과학의 현상을 이해하는 과정에서의 어려움으로 이어진다. 이와 관련해 수와 연산에 관한 개념이해와 학습의 어려움에 관한 수학교육분야의 연구는 다양하게 진행되었지만, 과학교육분야에서의 연구는 많지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 "크기와 척도"에 관한 학생들의 사고를 더 잘 이해하고 과학 학습의 어려움에 관한 원인을 분석하기 위해 수학적 구조분석을 적용하였다. 수학교육에서 설명한 수 개념의 발달에 따른 사고유형(덧셈이전의 사고, 덧셈적 사고-additive reasoning, 곱셈적 사고-multiplicative reasoning)을 적용하여 7단계의 수학적 구조를 만들고 이를 이용하여 "크기와 척도"와 관련된 과제를 수행한 학생들의 인터뷰 데이터를 체계적으로 분석하였다. 수학적 구조를 바탕으로 한 개념 틀은 다양한 학생들의 사고를 분석하는 기준이 되었고, 또한 학생들이 겪는 개념이해의 어려움을 해석하는 도구가 되었다. 수 개념의 발달에 맞춘 수학적 사고구조를 적용한 분석은 학생들의 개념 유형의 구분을 명확히 하였고 설명이 모호했던 전환 단계(transition stage) 유형을 밝혀내어 수업에서 고려되어야 할 점들을 구체적으로 드러내었다. 이는 수학과 과학, 두 교과 간의 틈을 줄일 뿐 아니라 연결점을 찾아 학생들의 개념이해와 어려움의 원인을 분석하는데 폭넓은 시각을 제공한다는 점에서 최근 많은 관심을 받고 있는 STEM 혹은 수학과 과학의 융합 수업을 위한 소재로의 가능성을 제시해준다.

The long-existed licence system which has acted as one of the strong barriers to entry in the ocean shipping market in Korea is supposed to repeal in the near future. As a result, competition among the different sizes of firms which are operating under regional shield by means of the licence will be intensified. The main objective of this paper is to estimate the degree of economies of scale and economies of density for various firm sizes. For the successful estimation of economies scale and economies of density, translog cost models are developed and estimated through SURE technique which was suggested by Zeller (1963). The major findings are as follows ; All shipping firms in the sample exhibit economies of scale and density. Even small size shipping firms under licence system, they show substantial economies of scale contrary to the wide-known idea that small-size firms are subject to diseconomies of scale. For the ranked firm sizes according to owned deadweight tons, the degree of economies of scale decreases as the firm sizes are larger and larger. The degree of economies of density moderately declines from the smallest to the firm size of 30-60 thousand deadweight tons and sharply rise thereafter. And the large shipping firms with over half-million deadweight tons exhibit high economies density compared to other sizes of firm. If follows that the larger firms have great advantage in competition if the licence system is abolished.

Silica powders with spherical shape and narrow size distribution were prepared by large-scale ultrasonic spray pyrolysis applying the droplet classification apparatus. On the other hand, silica powders prepared by large-scale ultrasonic spray pyrolysis without droplet classification apparatus had broad size distribution. Droplet classification apparatus used in this paper applied the principles of cyclone and dispersion plate with small holes. The droplets formed from the ultrasonic spray generator applying the droplet classification apparatus had narrow size distribution. The droplets with fine and large sizes were eliminated by droplet classification apparatus. The optimum flow rate of the carrier gas and diameter of the hole of the dispersion plate were studied to reduce the size distribution of the silica powders prepared by large-scale ultrasonic spray pyrolysis. The size distribution of the silica powders prepared by large-scale ultrasonic spray pyrolysis at the optimum preparation conditions was 0.76.

In this paper, we propose multi-scale infrared target detection algorithm with varied filter size using integral image. Filter based target detection is widely used for small target detection, but it doesn't suit for large target detection depending on the filter size. When there are multi-scale targets on the sky background, detection filter with small filter size can not detect the whole shape of the large targe. In contrast, detection filter with large filter size doesn't suit for small target detection, but also it requires a large amount of processing time. The proposed algorithm integrates the filtering results of varied filter size for the detection of small and large targets. The proposed algorithm has good performance for both small and large target detection. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm requires a less processing time, since it use the integral image to make the mean images with different filter sizes for subtraction between the original image and the respective mean image. In addition, we propose the implementation of real-time embedded system using FPGA.

The theoretical framework of the interaction fields for multiple scales based on field theory is applied to one-dimensional problem mimicking dislocation substructure sensitive intra-granular inhomogeneity evolution under fatigue of Cu-added steels. Three distinct scale levels corresponding respectively to the orders of (A)dislocation substructures, (B)grain size and (C)grain aggregates are set-up based on FE-RKPM (reproducing kernel particle method) based interpolated strain distribution to obtain the incompatibility term in the interaction field. Comparisons between analytical conditions with and without the interaction, and that among different cell size in the scale A are simulated. The effect of interaction field on the B-scale field evolution is extensively examined. Finer and larger fluctuation is demonstrated to be obtained by taking account of the field interactions. Finer cell size exhibits larger field fluctuation whereas the coarse cell size yields negligible interaction effects.

It is important to know SIze distribution of defects In electroplated trivalent chrome layers because it significantly influences on performance of the layers. Most of the nano-scale defects are able to be introduced by hydrogen evolution during the plating. Little information is available on the nano-size defects. In this study, SANS was applied to determine the size distribution of nano-scale defects in the trivalent chrome layers prepared in a formate bath. The defect size and distribution was dependent upon plating conditions such as current density and applied voltage. SANS is one of useful techniques to determine the nano-scale defect in the electroplated layers.
