Creep force is one of the only appeared at conventional train which used to be driven by metallic wheel and rail contact. Due to the elastic deformation of wheel/rail contact patch by the weights of wheel and all the components related to it, creep force generates and becomes to the decision factor of critical speed of bogie(or railway vehicle) which is the criteria of avoiding vehicle to be unstable. There are many kind of factors which affect generation of creep force at a wheel/rail contact surface such as viscosity of contact patch, velocity, wheel and rail geometric profile, mechanical properties of wheel and rail. This paper concentrates on a wheelset simple 2 DOF Equation of Motion being exerted. From the simple numerical analysis using linear solution about getting creep force some factors could find roughly. Among the factors geometric parameter could be the one of most important for this study. In the future we'll prolong the range of study to find out method of measuring creep force easily.

The principle of self clamping friction clutch is presented in this paper and the transmitted torque capacity is also calculated. In order to enlarge the friction force, a part of rotating force of driving side is converted to normal force of friction materials by clamping arm. The increased normal force of friction materials assures the large friction force and the transmitted torque capacity of clutch becomes large. The self clamping friction clutch is adopted in the tube type air pressure clutch and the condition of stability is investigated. It is proven that the inclined angle of clamping arm and the friction factor of friction materials are the essential elements in stability and torque capacity of self clamping friction clutch. The transmitted torque capacity of self clamping friction clutch is compared with air pressure clutch. The normal force of friction lining is magnified by 1/(1-k) and the transmitted torque capacity is also magnified with same proportion comparing with air pressure clutch. The larger the friction factor of friction lining, the larger the magnification factor. The longer the clamping arm, the smaller the magnification factor. It must be also noted that the value of k=${\mu}Y/X$ is the criterion of stability. If the value of k=${\mu}Y/X$ is greater than or equal to 1, the self clamping friction clutch is unstable and it can not be used as clutch.

EAF reduction slag has unstable properties of expansion and destruction. Therefore, it cannot be used as a construction material. The purpose of this study was to use EAF reduction slag as a concrete admixture. EAF reduction slag contains $11CaO{\cdot}7Al_2O_3{\cdot}CaF_2$ and ${\beta}-C_2S$ (calcium aluminate compounds). To confirm the properties of EAF reduction slag as a concrete admixture, the condensation, compressive strength and activity factor due to substitution rate of EAF reduction slag were measured. Originally, EAF reduction slag was cured rapidly because of its chemical composition ($11CaO{\cdot}7Al_2O_3{\cdot}CaF_2$). On the other hand, when 8% gypsum was added, its properties of condensation and compressive strength were similar to the plain specimen. When 6% gypsum was added, the quality of the KS F 2536 standards (quality standard number 3) were met in terms of activity factor. Overall, 8% gypsum addition is the most appropriate by considering the activity factor in the long-term compressive strength.

The primary sigma factor ($\sigma^{A}$) of Staphylococcus aureus, a potential drug target, was little investigated at the structural level. Using an N-terminal histidine-tagged $\sigma^{A}$ (His-$\sigma^{A}$), here we have demonstrated that it exits as a monomer in solution, possesses multiple domains, harbors primarily $\alpha$-helix and efficiently binds to a S. aureus promoter DNA in the presence of core RNA polymerase. While both N- and C-terminal ends of His-$\sigma^{A}$ are flexible in nature, two Trp residues in its DNA binding region are buried. Upon increasing the incubation temperature from 25$^{\circ}$ to 40$^{\circ}C$, $\sim$60% of the input His-$\sigma^{A}$ was cleaved by thermolysin. Aggregation of His-$\sigma^{A}$ was also initiated rapidly at 45$^{\circ}C$. From the equilibrium unfolding experiment, the Gibbs free energy of stabilization of His-$\sigma^{A}$ was estimated to be +0.70 kcal $mol^{-1}$. The data together suggest that primary sigma factor of S. aureus is an unstable protein. Core RNA polymerase however stabilized $\sigma^{A}$ appreciably.

This paper studies the behavior of mooring line of silt protector according to the change of sea level. It is found from the analysis of the behavior that if the taut cable length has been determined appropriately within the range of safety factor, the tensioned cable has almost constant tension regardless of the water depth. The whole structure, however, becomes unstable due to the loss (zero tension) of the released cable tension. It is also recognized from the investigation for the effect of intial straight line angle on the behavior of mooring line that the design through the conceptually combined consideration of the cable tension, total scope and buoy deflection has to be required in the mooring analysis. Finally, the material of cable is not damaged because the cable tension is reduced by attached shellfish, but the whole structure may be also unstable by the effect on the anchor angle, total scope and buoy deflection.

This study was conducted from 10 February 2011 until 2 March 2011 targeting culinary workers in deluxe hotels in Seoul. The data from 161 copies of questionnaire were analyzed using SPSS 17.0 for the factor analysis and the reliability test, and the multiple regression analysis was performed to verify the hypotheses. The results are as follows. First, correlation among interpersonal attachment, job satisfaction and job attachment showed that stable attachment had a significantly positive(+) effect on job satisfaction and job attachment. Second, unstable attachment had a negative effect on job satisfaction. Moreover, there were no correlations between job satisfaction and job attachment by the types of attachment. Third, for the effect of interpersonal attachment on job satisfaction, the stable one had a significantly positive(+) effect on job satisfaction; however, avoidant and unstable ones didn't have a significant effect on job satisfaction. Consequently, the results of this analysis suggest the future direction of culinary workers.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm that select efficient relay nodes using information of network environment and nodes. The proposed algorithm can be used changeable weight factors as following network environment in node density. The routing protocols adopting store-carry-forward method are used for solving network problems occurred by unstable end-to-end connection in Delay Tolerant Networks(DTNs). Exiting DTN routing algorithms have problems that large latency and overhead because of deficiency of network informations. The proposed algorithm could be provide a solution this problems using changeable weight factor and prediction of network environment. Thus, selected relay nodes work efficiently in unstable and stressed network environment. Simulation results show that enhancement performance as overhead, delivery ratio, average latency compared to exiting DTN routing algorithm.

In this paper, it is proposed to improve the robustness of the Fast Recursive Least Squares(FRLS) algolithms with the exponential weighting, which is an important class of algolithms for adaptive filtering. It is well known that the FRLS algolithm is numerically unstable with exponential weighting factor ${\lambda}<1$. However, introducing some gains into this algolithms, numerical errors can be reduced. An accurately choice of the gains then leads to a numerically stable FRLS algolithm with a complexity of 8m multiplications and we shown it by computer simulations.

The effect of stabilizing polymer on hGM-CSF production was investigated in suspension cell cultures of transgenic tobacco. Secreted human GM -CSF from cell suspension cultures was detected in the medium at a maximum concentration of 180 ${\mu}g/L$ by ELISA. However, the secreted hGM -CSF was unstable in the medium, and rapidly degraded after day 5. In order to stabilize the secreted hGM-CSF, three stabilizing polymers were tested, polyethylene glycol, polyvinylpyrrolidone and gelatin. Gelatin was the most effective in stabilizing the secreted GM-CSF. Following the addition of 5% (w/v) gelatin, the maximum GM -CSF concentration reached 783 ${\mu}g/L$, a 4.6-fold increase over control.

As a part of natural hazard assessment, regional slope stability analysis was conducted using Geoscientific Information System (GIS) in the northern area of Chungju Lake. Selected factors which affect the slope stability in the study area were lithology, soil, density of lineament, groundwater level, dip of slope, aspect of slope, and geological engineering properties. Geological structural domains were determined by collected data of joint orientation from about 200 sites in order to produce a slope instability map. Potential type of failure and its direction could be expected through the domains. And a slope instability map was produced, comparing the representative orientations of the domains with the orientations of the slopes which were made through TIN module in ARC/INFO. Under the consideration of environmental geological characteristics of the study area, rating and weighting of each factor of slope stability analysis were decided and spatial analysis of regional slope stability was couducted through overlaying technique of GIS. The result of areal distribution of slope stability showed that the most unstable area was the area between Mt. Pudae and Mt. Jubong, and the northern area of the railway station, Samtan.
