This study examined the magnitude and distribution of earth pressure on the support system in a jointed rock mass due to the different joint spacing as well as varying the rock type and joint condition (joint shear strength and joint inclination angle). Based on a physical model test and its numerical simulation, a series of numerical parametric analyses were conducted using a discrete element method. The results showed that the magnitude and distribution of earth pressure were strongly affected by the different joint spacing as well as the rock type and joint condition. In addition, the study results were compared with Peck's earth pressure for soil ground, which indicated that the earth pressure in a jointed rock mass could be considerably different from that in soil ground. The study suggests that the joint spacing as well as the rock type and joint condition are important factors affecting the earth pressure in a jointed rock mass and they should be considered when designing a support system in a jointed rock mass.

Due to incessant earthquakes, many historic South Nias traditional timber houses have been damaged while some still stand today. As Nias is part of an extremely active tectonic region and the buildings are getting older by day, it is essential that these unique houses are well maintained and functioning well. A post-earthquake condition assessment was conducted on 2 selected buildings; 'Building A' survived the seismic shakings while 'Building B' got severely damaged. The overall condition assessment of "Building A' was found out to be poor and the main structural members were not performing as intended. In 'Building B', the columns were not well anchored to the ground, no tie beams to tie the columns together, and eventually, the timber columns moved in various directions during the earthquake. The frequent earthquakes along with deterioration due to lack of proper maintenance program are responsible for the non-survival of the buildings. Thus, a process guideline for managing the maintenance of these buildings was proposed. This is necessary because managing the maintenance works could help to extend the life of the buildings and seek to avoid the need for potentially expensive and disruptive intervention works, which may damage the cultural significance of the buildings.

Many research of elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) has been performed under the condition of steady state loading. However, mechanical elements undergo severe high loads that are in the fluctuating modes of frequency and amplitude. Conventional numerical method for the circular contact of EHL study has the difficulty in making the film thickness and pressure of EHL converged in high loads of steady state as well as fluctuating loading conditions. In this work, multigrid multilevel method are used for the stable convergence of film pressure and thickness under the conditions of high as well as varying loads, and very stable solutions of film behaviors with elastic deformation are obtained. Several results of dynamic loading condition are shown and compared with those of steady state condition in the aspects of circular EHL film thickness and pressure.

[ $\bigcirc$ ] In the growth simulation without changing of module with ORYZA2000, dry matter, LAI and leaf nitrogen content(FNLV) were estimated well under high nitrogen applicated condition, but overestimated under low nitrogen applicated condition. $\bigcirc$ Nitrogen stress factor on the SLA was introduced into ORYZA2000 because especially overestimated LAI under low nitrogen applicated condition was originated from SLA decrease with leaf nitrogen(FNLV) decrease. $\bigcirc$ In the growth simulation with modified SLA modified module, LAI was estimated well under even low nitrogen applicated condition, but dry matter was hardly changed compared with default. $\bigcirc$ Simulated plant nitrogen content and dry matter have no clear difference between modules, but compared with observed values, panicle weight(WSO) and rough rice yield(WRR14) were overestimated under high nitrogen applicated because of lodging, pest, disease and low nitrogen use efficiency.

Rises of temperature and resistance are observed in HTS tapes under over current condition. In this paper, we measured HTS tapes properties under low-over current condition with a little temperature rise as well as high-over current condition with a large temperature rise. According to the results of measurement, rises of temperature and resistance strongly depend on insulation level and duration of over current condition.

In this paper, a new asymptotic stability condition of continuous fuzzy system is proposed. The new stability condition considers the nonquadratic stability by using the P-matrix measure. Later the relationship of the suggested stability condition and the well-known stability condition is discussed and it is shown in a rigorous manner that the proposed criterion includes the conventional conditions.

1. Objectives In ShinChukbon "DongyiSuseBowon", there are many contents of constitutional diseases and symptoms. The aim of the present study was to investigate recognition of sleep as Dong-Mu's constitutional symptoms. 2. Methods In ShinChukbon "DongyiSuseBowon", I found contents about sleeping and made comparative study of acquired contents. And I made comparative of previous studies. 3. Results (1) I concluded that Soumin who has interior and exterior diseases didn't get sleep well. Under the condition that constitutional diseases are cured, Soyangin gets to sleep well. (2) I concluded that Soyangin who has interior and exterior diseases sleep lesser than ordinary symptoms. Under the condition that constitutional diseases are cured, Soyangin gets to sleep well. (3) I concluded that Taeumin who has interior diseases sleep lesser than ordinary symptoms. Under the condition that constitutional diseases are cured, Taeumin gets to sleep well. (4) I concluded that Taeang who has constitutional disease may sleep lesser than ordinary symptoms. But not confirmed. 4. Conclusions There is some ground that sleep as constitutional symptom would be a good authority of checking constitutional disease.

The well-conditioned observer in a stochastic system is designed so that the observer is less sensitive to the ill-conditioning factors in transient and steady-state observer performance. These factors include not only deterministic issues such as unknown initial estimation error, round-off error, modeling error and sensing bias, but also stochastic issues such as disturbance and sensor noise. In deterministic perspectives, a small value in the L$_2$ norm condition number of the observer eigenvector matrix guarantees robust estimation performance to the deterministic issues and its upper bound can be minimized by reducing the observer gain and increasing the decay rate. Both deterministic and stochastic issues are considered as a weighted sum with a LMI (Linear Matrix Inequality) formulation. The gain in the well-conditioned observer is optimally chosen by the optimization technique. Simulation examples are given to evaluate the estimation performance of the proposed observer.

In this paper, we enlarge the ball of convergence of a uniparametric family of secant-like methods for solving non-differentiable operators equations in Banach spaces via using ${\omega}$-condition and centered-like ${\omega}$-condition meantime as well as some fine techniques such as the affine invariant form. Numerical examples are also provided.

The graph of the parallelogram law is well known, which gives rise to the characterization of an inner product space among normed linear spaces [6]. In this paper we will sketch graphs of its deformations according to our previous paper [7, Theorem 3.1 and 3.2]; each one of which characterizes an inner product space among normed linear spaces. Consequently, the graphs of some classical characterizations of an inner product space follow easily.
