The roll response of a ship to random beam seas is investigated in terms of the threshold crossing process. The non-white excitation process is modeled as an equivalent white-noise one based on the assumption that the upcrossing properties of the response can be approximately replaced by the excitation with a white noise process with a suitable intensity. Then the non-linear damping is reinstated. The reinstated equation of motion with the equivalent white-noise intensity is solved using the equivalent non-linear method to get the desired probability density function. The proposed scheme is tested extensively with varing coefficients.

We desinged a lattice-matched InGaAs/lnGaAsP quantum well laser that lases at $1.55{\mu}m$ at room temperature, and calculated the gain spectrum as a function of injected carrier density and temperature. For the calculation of band structures and momentum matrix elements, we used a transfer JIlatrix method based on a block-diagonalized 8x8 second-order Ii$.$ P Hamiltonian. This lattice-matched quantum well lases in transverse electric mode. As the temperature increases, the lasing wavelength gets longer, the transparency carrier density increases, and the differential gain is reduced. The temperature dependence of the gain spectrum comes from the temperature dependence of the band structure and that of the Fermi function, and the latter contributes dominantly.nantly.

The estimation of fatigue life at the design stage is very important in order to arrive at feasible and cost effective solutions considering the total lifetime of the structure and machinery compo-nents. In this study the practical procedure of prediction of fatigue life by use of cumulative damage factors based on Miner-Palmgren hypothesis and probability density function is shown with a $135,000m^3$ LNG tank being used as an example. In particular the parameters of Weibull distribution taht determine the stress spectrum are dis-cussed. At the end some of uncertainties associated with fatigue life prediction are discussed. The main results obtained from this study are as follows: 1. The practical procedure of prediction of fatigue life by use of cumulative damage factors expressed in combination of probability density function and S-N data is proposed. 2. The calculated fatigue life is influenced by the shape parameter and stress block. The conser-vative fatigue design can be achieved when using higher value of shape parameter and the stress blocks divded into more stress blocks.

An experimental work was conducted to investigate a feasibility of simultaneous measurement of gas-liquid two-phase flowrates with double orifice plates using air and water. The tests were carried out under the atmospheric pressure and at the ambient temperature using two different tube sizes. Qualities of an air-water flow in the present study have values less than 0.1 and thus the mixed flow showed bubbly, plug, slug flow regimes. The probability density function (PDF) and the power spectral density function (PSDF) of the instantaneous pressure drop traces for the flow regimes were obtained. It is found that some distinctive features exist in the distribution of these functions, depending upon the two-phase flow pattern. The time-averaged value of the instantaneous pressure drop increases with increasing gas and liquid flowrates, showing a single-valued function for the total mass flowrate and the quality. It is also found that the two-phase discharge coefficient exhibits a consistent trend for variation of dimensionless parameters such as the superficial velocity ratio and the gas Reynolds number. The results indicate that simultaneous measurement of two-phase flowrate may be possible based upon a statistical analysis of the instantaneous pressure drop curves monitored using double orifice plates.

The paper discusses a data processing methodology that derives a three dimensional porosity volume information from the 3-D seismic dataset. The methodology consists of preprocessing and inversion procedures. The purpose of the preprocessing is balancing the amplitudes of seismic traces by using reflectivity series derived from sonic and density logs. There are eight sonic logs are available in the study area; therefore, we can compute only 8 balance functions. The balance function for every seismic trace was derived from these 8 balance functions by kriging. In order to derive a wide-band acoustic impedance --similar to the one can be derived from a sonic log- from a band-limited reflection seismogram, we need to recover missing low- and high-frequency information of the seismic trace. For that Purpose we use the autoregressive method.

위성에서 감지되는 조간대 원격 반사도는 함수율, 퇴적상, 지형과 생물체 등의 영향에 의해 결정된다. 따라서 다른 환경요인을 제거하지 않고 위성자료 값을 분류하여 퇴적상과 비교한다면 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 없다. 하지만 퇴적상과 다른 환경요인은 관계가 복잡하고 미묘하게 얽혀있기 때문에 위성 자료 값에서 정량적으로 분리하거나 고려하는 것은 매우 어렵다. 특히 mud flat의 조류로나 세곡 부분은 배수구배의 발달로 인해 표층이 빠르게 마르게 되어 매우 높은 광학 반사도를 보이고 이는 sand가 우세한 지역의 높은 광학반사도와의 구별을 어렵게 만든다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 위성자료의 원격반사도 값만으로 조간대의 표층 퇴적상을 분류할 경우 에러가 발생할 수 있는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 조간대 texture와 표층 퇴적상과의 관계를 파악하고자 한다. 6.6 m 해상도를 갖는 EOC 자료를 이용하여 조류로의 형태와 밀도를 알아내고, 현장에서 샘플 된 입도 자료를 분석하여 비교함으로서 상관관계를 알아보고자 한다. mud flat의 경우, 대부분 복잡한 texture 구조를 갖고 밀도가 매우 높게 나타났으며 mixed flat 지역에서는 직선 구조를 갖는 큰 조류로가 발달하며 일부지역에서는 표면수가 잔존함에 의해 조간대에서 가장 어둡게 나타났다. 반면 sand shoal 이나 chenier 등과 같이 sand의 함량이 매우 높은 곳에서는 지형이 높아 함수율이 매우 낮아 높은 광학 반사도를 보임을 알 수 있었다.

In this paper, a new learning methodology for kernel methods that results in a sparse representation of kernel space from the training patterns for classification problems is suggested. Among the traditional algorithms of linear discriminant function, this paper shows that the relaxation procedure can obtain the maximum margin separating hyperplane of linearly separable pattern classification problem as SVM(Support Vector Machine) classifier does. The original relaxation method gives only the necessary condition of SV patterns. We suggest the sufficient condition to identify the SV patterns in the learning epoches. For sequential learning of kernel methods, extended SVM and kernel discriminant function are defined. Systematic derivation of learning algorithm is introduced. Experiment results show the new methods have the higher or equivalent performance compared to the conventional approach.

Many microbes, including both bacteria and fungi, produce manganese (Mn) oxides by oxidizing soluble Mn(II) to form insoluble Mn(IV) oxide minerals, a kinetically much faster process than abiotic oxidation. These biogenic Mn oxides drive the Mn cycle, coupling it with diverse biogeochemical cycles and determining the bioavailability of environmental contaminants, mainly through strong adsorption and redox reactions. This mini review introduces recent findings based on quantum mechanical density functional theory that reveal the detailed mechanisms of toxic metal adsorption at Mn oxide surfaces and the remarkable role of Mn vacancies in the photochemistry of these minerals.

This purpose of paper is to propose a European option pricing formula when the rate of return follows the leptokurtic distribution instead of normal. This distribution explains well the volatility smile and furthermore the option prices calculated under the leptokurtic distribution are shown to be closer to the market prices than those of Black-Scholes model. We make an estimation of the implied volatility and kurtosis to verify the fitness of the pricing formula that we propose here.

In this paper, analytical methods for calculating the average probability of bit error of time hopping pulse position modulation ultra wideband (TH-PPM UWB) system are given. For the multi-user DS-PAM UWB system, the bipolar pulse amplitude modulation is used in order to achieve better performance. As we know, more attention is paid to the TH-PPM UWB systems recently. In this paper, we first introduce the accurate BER calculation methods of the multi-user TH-PPM UWB systems and then give the performance analysis over the ideal AWGN channel and a correlation receiver. Furthermore, we also introduce their applications in image transmission and data transmission and give the simulation results. The analytical method yields simple and exact formulas relating the performance to the system parameters.
