In the present study, the hydrodynamic force affected by a lapping wave induced by supplied falling water acting on the vertical wall of a portable water storage tank was analyzed using a nonlinear Peregrine model. The lapping wave's maximum run-up amplitudes and the hydrodynamic forces in the wall of the tank measured by linear and nonlinear Peregrine's models were compared numerically. As a result, it was concluded that the linear model may underestimate the effects on the vertical wall; therefore, it is more appropriate to use a nonlinear Peregrine model. Furthermore, this result can contribute to the stable structural designs of portable water storage tanks.

Regarding greenhouse gas reduction, BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaics) is an important technology that can generate its own power in urban buildings based on clean energy resources. In particular, the perovskite material is attracting attention as a BIPV solar cell because it can have various colors and transparency. However, it is not easy to increase both transparency and efficiency factors because solar cell transparency and efficiency are inversely related to each other. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a semi-transparent perovskite solar cell structure that can improve both transparency and efficiency, and evaluate the stability according to international standard.

Genetic algorithm, which uses principles of natural selection and population genetics, is an efficient method to find out an optimal solution. In conventional genetic algorithms, however, the size of gene pool needs to be increased to insure a convergency. Therefore, many memory spaces and much computation time were needed. Also, since child chromosomes were generated by chromosome crossover and gene mutation, the algorithms have a complex structure. Thus, in this paper, a compact stereo matching algorithm using a population-based incremental learning based on probability vector is proposed to reduce these problems. The PBIL method is modified for matching environment. Since th proposed algorithm uses a probability vector and eliminates gene pool, chromosome crossover, and gene mutation, the matching algorithm is simple and the computation load is considerably reduced. Even though the characteristics of images are changed, stable outputs are obtained without the modification of the matching algorithm.

Reasonable prediction of residual capacity of fire-damaged reinforced columns is important for both the safety measurement and the rehabilitation of the reinforced concrete structures suffered from exposure to extensive fire. In order to predict the residual behavior of fire-damaged reinforced concrete columns, its predictive model must be able to take into account the amount of heat transferred into the column, the level of deterioration of constituent materials and various column geometries. The numerical model presented in this research includes all these factors. The model has been shown to reasonably predict the residual behavior of fire-damaged columns. Parametric studies were performed using this model for the effects of cover thickness, exposure time to fire and column geometries on the residual behavior of reinforced concrete columns. It was found that serious damage on the residual capacity of column resulted from a longer exposure time to fire but only marginal differences from other factors.

This study intends to verify whether stock repurchase, as well as stock dispositions, affects shareholder's wealth and also whether repurchase/dispositions has varying impact de-pending on its purpose. According to empirical analysis, announcement of stock repurchase results in positive abnormal returns when the objective of stock repurchase is stock price stabilization or cancellation of shares. However, when the purpose of stock repurchase is granting incentives to executives/employees, we get the negative abnormal returns. Also, the termination of stock trust for reason of expiration or stock dispositions of which goal is to give incentives to executive/employees has a negative impact on stock price, whereas direct dispositions of stock to raise cash or to improve financial structrue are shown to significantly increase the wealth of shareholders. Cross-section analysis also confirms that stock repurchase and dispositions has different impact on excess returns depending on its purpose. The results of this study imply that the dispositions of stock should be regarded as an important financial strategic tool to be used by companies and what's more, such studies dealing with stock repurchase or dispositions should take firm's purpose into consideration in their approach.

This study is to manufacture HSCC (High flowing Self-Compacting Concrete) be able to construction without vibration & hardening, and it is stable according to the change of the surface number of aggregate and to examine the factor of reduction occurred before after hardening through the indoor experiment. It is essential to use of the thickener to increase the viscosity in the combined HSCC. In this result, it make more bubbles than HSCC of pulverulent body. The result of study has shown, through the surface air bubble by not passed air bubbles within concrete after hardening, It has bad effect in not only appearance of structures but strength & duration. It is the experiment for air bubble of concrete according to the types of aggregate (fine aggregate), mixing time of concrete, exfoliation, material of model form and so that reduce the air bubble of combined HSCC. Experiments have shown, the effect of exfoliation was bigger than the effect of form for the performance of surface finishing of combined HSCC after hardening according to the exfoliation or material of model form and the opaque guris has good condition of finishing.

Asymmetry in the face and dentition is a naturally occurring phenomenon. Functional asymmetry can result the mandible being deflected laterally if occlusal interferences prevent proper intercuspation in centric relation. Five year old girl was referred to the pediatric department for mandibular deviation. The patient had right posterior crossbite and 2.5mm midline deviation due to dental caries on the primary teeth. The authors used the activator as occlusal splint for eliminating habitual posturing and deprogramming the musculature in the treatment of functional asymmetry and for occlusal stabilization restored the primary molars with cast crowns.

A tunnel design expert system entitled NESTED is developed using the artificial neural network. The expert system includes three neural network computer models designed for the stability assessment of underground openings and the estimation of correlation between the RMR and Q systems. The expert system consists of the three models and the computerized rock mass classification programs that could be driven under the same user interface. As the structure of the neural network, a multi -layer neural network which adopts an or ror back-propagation learning algorithm is used. To set up its knowledge base from the prior case histories, an engineering database which can control the incomplete and erroneous information by learning process is developed. A series of experiments comparing the results of the neural network with the actual field observations have demonstrated the inferring capabilities of the neural network to identify the possible failure modes and the support timing. The neural network expert system thus complements the incomplete geological data and provides suitable support recommendations for preliminary design of tunnels in rock masses.

A legged robot is friendly to human because it is resemble to human. And the robot can obtain support points freely because it has high degree of freedom for several joint as compared with a wheeled robot. Also the robot can create the relative position at desired position between support position and robot. The joint of robot cu used as manipulator. On the contrary the mechanism of robot is complicated to have many joint and moving speed is lower than wheeled robot. Also the legged robot is needed a special control not to fall on the ground because the robot is easy to vibrate when it is moving. The 4 leg structure is the minimum leg numbers not to fall and to realize safety gait continuously. A trot gait is investigated through experiments using a quadruped walking robot named TITAN-VIII.

본 논문은 고성능 다결정 실리콘(Poly-Si) 박막 트랜지스터 (Thin Film Transistor)에서 단일 수직 그레인 경계(Single Perpendlcular Grain Boundary)가 고온 캐리어 스트레스(Hot Carrier Stress) 및 정전류 안정성 평가에서 어떠한 효과를 보이는가에 대해서 살펴보았다. 고온 캐리어 스트레스 하에서($V_G=V_{TH}+1V,\;V_D$ =12V),그레이 경계가 없는 다결정 실리콘 TFT와 비교했을 때 그레인 경계를 가지고 있는 다결정 실리를 TFT는 전기 전도(Electric Conduction)에 작용하는 자유 캐리어(Free Carrier)의 개수가 적기 때문에 상대적으로 더욱 우수한 전기적 특성을 나타낸다. 먼저 1000초 동안 고온 캐리어 스트레스를 가해준 결과 단일 그레인 경계를 가진 다결정 실리콘에서의 트랜스 컨덕턴스(Transconductance)의 이동 정도는 5% 미만으로 확인되었다. 반면에 같은 스트레스 조건 하에서 그레인 경계가 존재하지 않는 다결정 실리콘의 경우에는 그 이동 정도가 약 25%에 달하는 것으로 측정되었다. 다음으로 정전류 스트레스(Constant Current Stress) 인가시, 수직형 그레인 경계가 채널 영역 내에 존재하지 않는 다결정 실리콘 TFT는 드레인 접합 부분의 전계 세기를 비교했을 때, 그레인 경계를 가지고 있는 다결정 실리콘 TFT보다 상대적으로 낮은 원 인 때문에 적게 열화되는(Degraded) 특성을 확인할 수 있었다.
