In general, fractal analysis which is based on self-similarity as a basic theory has been mainly used to define the characteristics of complex mathematical figures, however, considering its basic theory, it can be also used to analyze the surface ununiformity of unknown materials. In this study, the soil samples were collected from the reclaimed (remodelled) agricultural fields which mean that the external soil is artificially piled up (mainly up to 1m) on the lands, Naju, Jellanam-do and Gumi, Gyeongsangbuk-do, and the conventional agricultural fields, Anseong, Gyeonggi-do and Hwasoon, Jellanam-do, and compared using fractal dimension analysis on the basis of the results of chemical properties. The score of fractal dimension ($D_0$) for organic matter was lower in Hwasoon (1.46) and Naju (1.58) than Anseong (1.86) and Gumi (1.96), and this trend showed similarly in soil pH. On the basis of the results of chemical properties, fine textured-soils (Hwasoon and Naju) and conventional agricultural fields were chemically uniform compared to coarse textured-soils (Anseong and Gumi) and the reclaimed. Therefore, it is required to develop technical methods for integrated soil management to the reclaimed lands.

The purpose of this study is to establish a standard sizing system for Taekwondo uniforms. The sample utilized in the study consisted of 5,679 male and female subjects, obtained from Size Korea Project. Twenty three measurements were identified and selected as critical in the design and construction of Taekwondo uniforms. The results were as follows: First, it was determined that all brands used "height" as a key dimension of size designation. Two of brands added "chest girth" or "numeric numbers" to designate size in addition to "height". For example: 1) height/chest girth, 2) height/numeric number. The size pitches of all current Taekwondo uniforms in the market were 10cm of height for all brands. Second, the study showed male measurements were larger and longer than females, establishing that independent sizing specifications by sexes are needed. Third, in case of Taekwondo shirts, height and chest girth were selected as control dimensions. In case of pants, height and waist girth were selected as control dimensions. For selecting optimal sizing pitch, 2 different pitches of chest girth and waist girth(4cm pitch by KS and 8cm pitch by researchers) were compared, while height pitch was fixed at 10cm. Fourth, based on the analysis of the measurements(coverages and coverage efficiency rates), it was determined that 8cm pitches of chest and waist girth were efficient in both upper and lower Taekwondo uniforms. Fifth, subjects distribution counts and percentages were shown after analyzing coverage efficiency rates. Separate results are noted for the upper and lower Taekwondo uniforms. As previously mentioned, height pitches were 10cm and chest and waist pitches were 8cm. Finally, as a result of this research, key and referable measurements relevant to making Taekwondo uniforms were identified for male and female uniform. In case of Taekwondo shirts, 18 sizes were established for men, 16 sizes for women. Twenty five sizes for men and 20 sizes for women were presented in size tables for pants.

This paper was conducted on experimental analysis in the free vibration analysis of rectangular plates under uniform thermal loading. Materials of three rectangular plates were aluminum, steel and stainless-steel respectively. The dimension of rectangular plates was 0.1 $\times$ 0.1 $\times$ 0.002 m. Infrared quartz lamps were used for thermal loading. The PCS(Power Control System) electric control system was applied for control and scanning vibrometer (Poly Tech) was used for acquisition of frequency response function. Applied temperature was increased from room temperature to $300^{\circ}C$ by $50^{\circ}C$. Boundary condition was free-free condition using bungee cord. Front face of rectangular plate was heated uniformly.

The performance of polysilicon thin film transistor (p-Si TFT) has an important role in the operation of active matrix liquid crystal displays. To fabricate the p-Si TFTs that have uniform characteristics, understanding of the recrystallization mechanism of silicon is crucial. Especially, the analysis of the transient temperature variation and the liquid-solid interface motion is required to find the mechanism. The thermal conductivity is one of the most important parameters to understand the mechanism. In this work, a KrF eximer laser beam was irradiated to amorphous silicon thin films. We measured the transient reflectivity at the wavelength of 633 nm. We carried out the numerical simulation of one dimension conduction equation so that we determined the most well-fitted thermal conductivity by comparing the numerically obtained transient reflectivity with the experimentally measured one. The experimentally determined thermal conductivity of amorphous silicon thin films is 1.5 W/mK.

Injection Molding is the most effective process for mass production of plastic parts. The injection molding process is composed with several steps such as Filling, Packing, Holding, Cooling, Ejecting. Among them, filling and packing process should be considered carefully to improve accuracy of dimension, surface quality of plastic parts. Usually the quality above-mentioned is managed with weight of part after molding on the field. In this paper, a series of experiment for molding automotive front bumper was conducted with cavitity temperature sensor to optimize switch-over time(V-P switching), hot runner vale gate sequence time during filling and packing step for the purpose of uniform quality, weight at every molding. As a result, it was found that it is effective method to use temperature sensor in injection molding for quality control of plastic molding.

In this study, the dynamic behaviour of a rotating Timoshenko beam when under the actions of a variable magnitude load moving at non-uniform speed is carried out. The effect of cross-sectional dimension and damping on the flexural motions of the elastic beam was neglected. The coupled second order partial differential equations incorporating the effects of rotary and gyroscopic moment describing the motions of the beam was scrutinized in order to obtain the expression for the dynamic deflection and rotation of the vibrating system using an elegant technique called Galerkin's Method. Analyses of the solutions obtained were carried out and various results were displayed in plotted curve. It was found that the response amplitude of the simply supported beam increases with an increase in the value of the foundation reaction modulus. Effects of other vital structural parameters were also established.

In this paper, we introduce an efficient algorithm for the non-convex penalized multinomial logistic regression that can be uniformly applied to a class of non-convex penalties. The class includes most non-convex penalties such as the smoothly clipped absolute deviation, minimax concave and bridge penalties. The algorithm is developed based on the concave-convex procedure and modified local quadratic approximation algorithm. However, usual quadratic approximation may slow down computational speed since the dimension of the Hessian matrix depends on the number of categories of the output variable. For this issue, we use a uniform bound of the Hessian matrix in the quadratic approximation. The algorithm is available from the R package ncpen developed by the authors. Numerical studies via simulations and real data sets are provided for illustration.

The numerical study for the effect of various factors that affect the temperature distribution of the process glass installed above the large rectangular heater plate was carried out. For the calculation, heat flux, distance between heat source and process glass plate, effect of vacuum condition and convection in a chamber were considered as important factors. The results showed that the temperature gradient on the glass was increased at the natural convection because of the buoyancy force increases due to the heated air. Also, the more heat flux and distance between the heater plate and glass increases, the more increasing the temperature gradient was. In the case of isothermal heating wall, the temperature variation was smaller than the uniform heat flux condition.

In part forming process of metal matrix composites, the die casting and squeeze casting process are limited the size and dimension in term of final parts without machining. The thixoforming process for metal matrix composites has numerous advantages compared to die casting squeeze casting and compocasting. However, for the thixoforming process, the billet with the desired volume fraction must be heated to obtain a uniform temperature distribution over the entire cross-sectional areas. To obtain the reheating conditions of composites, the particulate reinforced metal matrix composites for thixoforming were fabricated by combined stirring process which is simultaneously performed with electro-magnetic stirring and mechanical stirring process.
