High quality PZT piezoelectric thin films were sputter- deposited on$ RuO_2$/$SiO_2$/Si substrates by using 2-step deposition method. As the first step, PZT seed layers were fabricated at a low temperature($475^{\circ}C$ ) to form a pure perovskite phase by reducing the volatility of Pb oxide. and then, as the second step, the PZT films were deposited at high temperatures ($530^{\circ}C$~$570^{\circ}C$) to reduce the defect density in the films. By this method, the pure perovskite phase was obtained at high deposition temperature range ($530^{\circ}C$~$570^{\circ}C$) and the superior electrical properties of PZT films were obtained on $RuO_2$substrate : 2Pr : 60$\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$, $E_c: 60kV/cm, \;J_t: 10^{-6}A/cm^2\; at\; 250kV/cm$. The residual stress of PZT films fabricated by the 2-step deposition method was tensile and below 150MPa. It was attempted to control the residual stress in the PZT films by applying a negative bias to the substrate. As the amplitude of the substrate bias was increased, the residual tensile stress was slightly decreased, however, the ferroelectric properties of PZT films were degraded by ion bombardment.

In recent years, the multilevel inverter synthesizing the output voltage with step pulse has been widely used as a solution for high power and high voltage applications. This paper proposes a simple method to obtain the conducting . angle. It is calculated by using voltage-second areas of the divided reference voltage according to the output voltage levels and these areas have influence on output step pulse waves. It is possible to reduce an amount of calculation because it is not required to solve the simultaneous equations by an iterative method. Also, the proposed method can get the conducting angle by means of on line.

In this paper, a voltage equations, a thrust force equations and kinetic equation are derived from the basic structure of a 2-phase hybrid type linear stepping motor(HLSM). And a micro-stepping method in order to eliminate effectively the resonant phenomena and to increase the positional resolution of the HLSM was proposed. The proposed micro-stepping method can divide one step into the maximum 128 micro-steps under simple control system. The dynamic characteristics of proposed micro-stepping method were analyzed by the ACSL(Advanced Continuous Simulation Language) with the voltage equations, the thrust force equations and the kinetic equation, and were measured by laser experimental system. As the result, the justice of theory was confirmed, and the resonant phenomena, the positional resolution and dynamic thrust were improved by the proposed micro-stepping method.

We have developed a reliable and noninvasive method for swine genotyping of single locus nuclear gene with aged single hair follicles delivered by general mail. The method is based on booster and nested PCR amplification with step-wise increase of primers and dNTPs concentrations followed by restriction endonuclease digestion. To establish this method, the ryanodine receptor (RYR 1) locus which is an economically important trait in swine industry was employed for genotyping experiment. The 3-step PCR amplication method is much less dependent on the quantity and quality of template DNA and produces enough amplification product for the detection on the ethidium bromide-stained gel such as RFLP analysis. A total of 120 pigs were subjected to the RYR 1 genotyping analysis using three-step PCR method which amplified enough quantity of PCR products from the aged single hair follicles for RFLP analysis and genotyping results were identical to the results of the corresponding ethanol-fixed skeletal muscle tissue. This approach will be a great help for porcine breeders and investigators in genotyping of swine. They can receive genotyping results later by simply plucking single hairs of their pigs at farm and sending them in general mail to the diagnostic laboratory which eliminates the inconveniences to collect ear tissue or blood cells from pigs, or the investigator's need for travel to farms in order to collect fresh hair samples.

This study was conducted to develop the fermentation kinetic modeling for the prediction of pH and acidity changes in kimchi at isothermal and nonisothermal fermentation temperatures(0~15$^{\circ}C$) and salt concentrations(1.5~4.0%) using the traditional two-step method and alternative one-step method. The calculations of the two-step method of pH and acidity change during fermentation followed the pattern of the first order and zero order, respectively. The reaction rate constant of pH by the first order was increased from 0.008 {TEX}$day^{-1}${/TEX} to 0.017 {TEX}$day^{-1}${/TEX} by increasing the temperature from $0^{\circ}C$ to 15$^{\circ}C$ at 2.75% of salt concentration, and was decreased from 0.013 {TEX}$day^{-1}${/TEX} to 0.010 {TEX}$day^{-1}${/TEX} by increasing the salt concentration from 1.5% to 4.0% at 5$^{\circ}C$. For the pH and acidity of Kimchi, the zero order had a higher correlation than the first order to the estimate of the kinetics parameters by the one-step method. The {TEX}$E_{a}${/TEX} ranges of pH and acidity were 61.057~66.086 and 62.417~68.772 kJ/mole with different temperatures and salt concentrations. This one-step method had smaller and more realistic estimates of error(p〈0.05). The effective temperatures, {TEX}$T_{eff}${/TEX}, with 0~15$^{\circ}C$ of square function type of 12 hr intervals were 12.85, 11.48 and 12.46$^{\circ}C$ as increasing the salt concentration, 1.50, 2.75 and 4.00%, respectively. The {TEX}$T_{eff}${/TEX} were higher values than the mean temperature(7.5$^{\circ}C$).

We propose an optical encryption/decryption technique for a security system based on 2-step phase-shifting digital holography. Phase-shilling digital holography is used for recording phase and amplitude information on a CCD device. 2-step phase-shifting is implemented by moving the PZT mirror with phase step of 0 or ${\pi}/2$. The binary data and the key are expressed with random code and random phase patterns. The digital hologram is a Fourier transform hologram and is recorded on CCD with 256 gray level quantization. We remove the DC term of the digital hologram fur data reconstruction, which is essential to reconstruct the original binary input data/image. The error evaluation fer the decrypted binary data is analyzed. One of errors is a quantization error in detecting the hologram intensity on CCD, and the other is generated from decrypting the data with the incorrect key. The technique using 2-step phase-shifting holography is more efficient than a 4-step method because 2-step phase-shifting holography system uses less data than the 4-step method for data storage or transmission. The simulation shows that the proposed technique gives good results fur the optical encryption of binary information.

This paper presents a new hybrid method for solving nonlinear complementarity problems with $P_0$-functions. It can be regarded as a combination of smoothing trust region method with ODE-based method and line search technique. A feature of the proposed method is that at each iteration, a linear system is only solved once to obtain a trial step, thus avoiding solving a trust region subproblem. Another is that when a trial step is not accepted, the method does not resolve the linear system but generates an iterative point whose step-length is defined by a line search. Under some conditions, the method is proven to be globally and superlinearly convergent. Preliminary numerical results indicate that the proposed method is promising.

The on-line calculation method is developed to obtain the temperature trajectory that brings the reactants to the desired state in batch styrene polymerization reactor. The temperature trajectory is obtained by applying the moments of the polymer concentration to the 2-step calculation method. The computer simulation is also carried out to verify the superiority of the on-line method to the off-line one. When a temperature disturbance of constant size is introduced, the off-line results shows considerable deviation from the target degree of polymerization. The on-line strategy set up a new trajectory to reach the desired state by using the current state of the reactor. Therefore, the on-line strategy deals with the changes of the system more adequately than the off-line strategy.

Our goal is to present a simple volume-of-fluid type interface-tracking algorithm to compressible two-phase flow in two space dimensions. The algorithm uses a uniform underlying Cartesian grid with some cells cut by the tracked interfaces into two subcells. A volume-moving procedure that consists of two basic steps: (1) the update of volume fractions in each grid cell at the end of the time step, and (2) the reconstruction of interfaces from discrete set of volume fractions, is employed to follow the dynamical behavior of the interface motion. As in the previous work with a surface-tracking procedure for general front tracking (LeVeque & Shyue 1995, 1996), a high resolution finite volume method is then applied on the resulting slightly nonuniform grid to update all the cell values, while the stability of the method is maintained by using a large time step wave propagation approach even in the presence of small cells and the use of a time step with respect to the uniform grid cells. A sample preliminary numerical result for an underwater explosion problem is shown to demonstrate the feasibility of the algorithm for practical problems.

It is difficult to control differential settlement and long-term settlement on soft ground with the template used in the pre-filing method of offshore wind power. In this study, the template adopted a suction foundation with high utility on soft ground. To analyze the penetration performance of the doughnut-type suction foundation, step-by-step numerical analysis was applied by calculating the minimum suction pressure needed for ground penetration at that depth. Scale model tests were performed and compared with the numerical analysis results. The ratio of the inside diameter compared to the outside diameter is higher, and penetration by suction was more advantageous than push-in load penetration. The step-by-step numerical analysis method showed an error within 2 % compared to the model tests, so the numerical analysis method confirmed results that the penetration performance of the doughnut-type suction foundation is valid.
