  • The purpose of this study was to classify apparel fabrics according to rustling sounds and to analyze their transformed colors and mechanical properties. The rustling sounds of apparel fabrics were recorded and then transformed into colors using Mori's color-transforming program. The specimens were clustered into five groups according to sound properties, and each group was named as 'Silky', 'Crispy', 'Paper-like', 'Worsted', and 'Flaxy', respectively. The Silky consisted of smooth and soft silk fabrics had the lowest value of LPT, $\Delta$f ARC, loudness(z) and sharpness(z). Their transformed colors showed lots of red portion and color counts. The Crispy with crepe fabrics showed relatively low loudness(z) and sharpness(z), but diverse colors and color counts were appeared. The Paper-like showed the highest value of LPT, $\Delta$f and loudness(z). The Worsted composed of wool and wool-like fabrics showed high values of LPT, $\Delta$f loudness(z) and sharpness(z). The transformed colors of the Paper-like and Worsted showed the blue mostly but color counts were less than the others. The Flaxy with rugged flax fabric had the highest fluctuation strength, and their transformed colors showed diversity.

  • A new method called SRICOS is proposed to predict the scour depth z versus time t around a cylindrical bridge pier of diameter D founded in clay. The steps involved are ; 1. taking samples at the bridge pier site, 2. testing them in an Erosion Function Apparatus called the EFA to obtain the scour rate z versus the hydraulic shear stress applied $\tau$, 3. predicting the maximum shear stress r max which will be induced around the pier by the water flowing at ν Ο before the scour hole starts to develop, 4. using the measured z versus r curve to obtain the initial scour rate zi corresponding to r max , 5. predicting the maximum depth of scour zmax for the pier, 6. using zi and zmarx to develop the hyperbolic function describing the scour depth z versus time t curve, and 7. reading the z vs. t curve at a time corresponding to the duration of the flood to find the scour depth which will develop around the pier. A new apparatus is developed to measure the z vs t curve of step 2, a series of advanced numerical simulations are performed to develop an equation for the $\tau$ max value of step 3, and a series of flume tests are performed to develop an equation for the zmax value of step 5. The method is evaluated by comparing predictions and measurements in 42 flume experiments.

  • The paper examines the reaction of the Z-Vietnam generation to online TV advertising (TVC), which elements of online TV advertising has a positive influence, which factors do not affect or negatively affect their consumption decisions for the advertised goods. Data for the study was collected from 300 Vietnam's Generation Z in Ho Chi Minh City through live interviews or questionnaires through Google Docs Forms, with over 30 questions. The six basic factors that influence the reactions of Generation Z consumers are information, entertainment, irritation, credibility, interaction, and advertising value. The research results show that, due to the influence of social media and generational characteristics, most consumers of the Generation Z in Vietnam have a favorable attitude towards online TV advertising, and they appreciate this form of advertising. Information element, irritation, credibility and entertainment have a strong and positive impact on TVC. The other two factors are advertising value and interaction, which does not significantly affect the reaction of this generation. This study needs to be checked and reviewed by subsequent studies on a larger scale and in a wider scope because the study only conducted random sampling on a small scale, did not meet the requirements for representation and generality.

  • The aim of this paper is to investigate the problems of meromorphic functions sharing values concerning periodicities and shifts. In this paper we prove the following result: Let f(z) and g(z) be two nonconstant entire functions, let $c{\in}{\mathbb{C}}{\setminus}\{0\}$, and let $a_1$, $a_2$ be two distinct finite complex numbers. Suppose that ${\mu}(f){\neq}1$, ${\rho}_2(f)<1$, and f(z) = f(z+c) for all $z{\in}{\mathbb{C}}$. If f(z) and g(z) share $a_1$ CM, $a_2$ IM, then $f(z){\equiv}g(z)$. Moreover, examples are given to show that all the conditions are necessary.

  • This paper presents a water level control method using Z-80 microcomputer. The process considered in this paper is one tank system which is described by an unknown nonlinear differential equation. The water level is measured by the end of bar installed at a float passing through 8 pair of photointerrupters located at equal distance. Therefore, the input data to 8255 which is interface between Z-80 and photointerrupters is discrete value, namely, value under 1. values from 1 to 8, and value upper 8. The water is pumped into the tank from a reservoir by switching on a relay connected to a moter and pump driving system. The pumping is stopped by switching off the relay. Experimental studies for two types of controllers are performed in order to investigate the control performance of water level of the water pumping system.

  • Autonomous vehicles are divided into an upper controller that calculates control value through cognitive judgment and a lower controller that appropriately transmits its control value to an actuator. Here, the longitudinal control in a lower controller has a problem as the road slopes due to the property of the Acceleration sensor to output the acceleration as the slope of the device. Therefore, in this paper, a sigmoid function is proposed to determine the slope to compensate for this problem. Through the experiment, Checked performance by comparing the existing table model with the proposed model.

  • Background: Pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum(PA/IVS) is an anatomically heterogenous anomaly with a variety of surgical strategies possible. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the influence of right ventricular size on the early and midterm results of surgical repair of PA/IVS. Material and method: Medical records of 20 consecutive patients with PA/IVS operated on between January 1993 and August 1999 were retrospectively reviewed. There were 12 boys and 8 girls whose ages ranged from 2 days to 14.5 months (median 6 days). Their body weight ranged from 2.52kg to 9.35 kg(median 3.18kg). The preoperative Z-value of the diameter of the tricuspid valve(T-valve) was less than or -4 in 5 patients, between -4 and -2 in 1, between -2 and 0 in 7, between 0 and 2 in 6, and greater than or 2 in 1. All patients who had z-value of tricuspid valve greater than -2.05 were attempted biventricular repair(n=15) and all patients who had it smaller than -4.4 underwent systemic-pulmonary shunt operation only(n=3) or bidirectinal cavopulmonary shunt with right ventricular reconstruction(n=2). Result: Two early deaths(2/20, 10%) occurred. Both were infants who underwent transannular patch with shunt. One of these two had huge right ventricle(Z-value of tricuspid valve = 5). There were 2 late non-cardiac deaths 3 and 7 months after operations respectively. Follow-up was completed in all children at a mean of 35.3 months(range, 5 to 54 months). 10 of 11 survivors who underwent transannular patch or valvotomy with or without shunt procedure were in NYHA functional class I even though some of them had small interatrial communication or patent shunt. All three patients who had shunt procedure only at initial palliation completed Fontan procedures with no death. Two patients who underwent right ventricular outflow reconstruction with bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt were also in good condition. Conclusion: The transanular RVOT patch or valvotomy with or without systemic-pumonary shunt as an initial palliative procedure to achieve biventricular repair for the patients who had neither too small nor too large right ventricle(-2.05$\leq$Z-value of T-value of T-valve$\leq$2) could be performed at low operative risk(1/14 7.1%). Systemic-pulmonary shunt procedure and bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt procedure for the patients who had small right ventricle(Z-value of T-valve$\leq$4.4) could be also performed with low risk. But a patient with huge right atrium and ventricle(Z-value of t-valve=5) had poor operative result.

  • 배경: 팔로네징후의 수술적 교정은 좋은 조기 및 만기 성적을 보이고 있다. 그러나 장기적인 추적 관찰 기간 동안 발생하는 폐동맥 판막 역류와 협착은 지속적으로 문제가 되고 있으며, 이는 최초 완전교정술 시 재건한 우심실 유출로 크기 정도에 따라 달라질 수 있다. 이에 폐동맥 판막 역류와 협착의 발생을 줄일 수 있는 적절한 우심실 유출로 크기에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 대상 및 방법: 본 연구는 팔로네징후로 완전교정술을 시행 받은 환자들을 대상으로 장기적으로 폐동맥 판막 역류와 협착의 발생을 줄일 수 있는 적절한 우심실 유출로 크기를 찾기 위한 전향적 연구이다. 2002년 1월부터 2004년 12월까지 팔로네징후 62명(남자 34 명, 여자 28명)의 환자들을 완전교정하였고 우심실 유출로 재건 후 폐동맥 판륜의 크기(직경) 를 측정하였으며, 심초음파를 정기적으로 시행(퇴원 시, 6개월, 1년, 2년, 3년)하여 폐동맥 판막 역류 및 협착 정도를 추적 관찰하였다. 결과: 우심실 유출로를 재건한 방법에 따라 경판륜 그룹(12명)과 비경판륜 그룹(50명)으로 구분하였고 우심실 유출로의 크기는 폐동맥 판륜의 직경을 기준으로 경판륜 그룹에서 Z value -1 $(-3.6{\sim}0.8)$, 비경판륜 그룹에서 2.1 $(-5.2{\sim}1.5)$ 이었다 수술을 마치고 측정한 우심실 /좌심실의 압력 비율은 경판륜 그룹이 평균 $0.44{\pm}0.09$, 비경판륜 그룹이 $0.42{\pm}0.09$로 두 그룹 간에 차이가 없었으며, 폐동맥 판륜 크기와 우심실/좌심실 압력 비율 간의 유의한 상관관계는 없었다. 두 그룹 중에서 중등도 이상의 페동맥 판막 역류의 발생은 경판륜 그룹에서 의미 있게 많았다(p<0.01). 비경판륜 그룹 내에서 수술 시 교정한 폐동맥 판륜 크기에 따른 폐동맥 판막 역류의 발생을 분석하였을 때 Z value가 0보다 크게 교정된 경우 폐동맥 판막 역류가 유의하게 증가하였고(p<0.05) 경도-중등도 이상의 폐동맥 판막 협착의 발생은 Z value가 -1.5보다 작은 경우 유의하게 증가하였다(p<0.05). 관찰 기간 중 비경판륜 그룹 내에서 의미 있는 중등도 이상의 폐동맥 판막 협착은 4명 발생하였고, 이들의 Z value는 각각 -3.8, -3.8, -2.9, -1.8이었으며 3명은 재수술, 1 명은 풍선 판막 성형술을 시행하여 교정하였다. 결론: 팔로네징후의 완전교정술을 시행하였을 때 경판륜 우심실 유출로 재건술을 시행한 그룹은 폐동맥 판막 역류가 현저하게 많았다. 비경판률 재건을 시행하는 경우 우심실 유출로의 폐동맥 판륜 크기를 Z value -1.5 에서 0사이가 되도록 재건하고 1.5 이하인 경우에는 폐동맥 판막 협착 가능성에 대한 면밀한 추적 관찰을 시행하는 것이 필요하다.

  • The maximum allowable value of loop impedance($Z_s$) to secure the operation of overcurrent protective devices and the safety for indirect contact is a very important in TN-C-S system. The loop impedance is divided into inner loop impedance which consumer can adjust and external loop impedance($Z_e$) which only electric operator can adjust. Thus, an external loop impedance which limits to less than a certain value is a very important factor for human body protection against electric shock in TN-C-S system. The concept of loop impedance($Z_s$) is recently introduced to the domestic, the study about external loop impedance is yet insufficient. However, the study about the reference impedance as specified by the IEC 60725 standard to improve the quality and reliability of the power supply is being made. In this paper, reference value of external loop impedance($Z_e$) to meet domestic environment will be proposed by the nationwide measurement and statistical analysis.
