In this study, a standard tensile welded-joint test was conducted to select a welding electrode suitable for recently developed HSA800 steel. Two welding electrodes were available at the time of this study; one was GMAW-based and the other FCAW-based. The tensile test specimens were fabricated by joining 60mm-thick HSA800 plates according to the AWS-prequalified groove welded joint details. Specimens which violate the standard root opening distance (ROD) were also included to see if poor construction tolerance could be accommodated. During fabrication, serious concerns about the welding efficiency of the GMAW-based product were raised by a certified welder. Both welding electrodes showed satisfactory and similar performance from welded joint strength perspective. But groove welded joints made by using the FCAW-based rod consistently showed more ductile and stable behavior. The AISC provisions for PJP joint strength were shown to be very conservative under direct tensile loading. Violating the AWS prequalified ROD by 100% apparently passed the strength criteria, but unusual crater-like fracture surface was observed.

The spherical artificial aggregates (AAs) with a diameter of 8 mm, which contains fly ashes discharged from the fluidized bed combustion in a thermal power plant and clay were manufactured by direct sintering method at $1050{\sim}1250^{\circ}C$ for 10 minutes. The effect of fly ash contents on the bloating phenomenon in the AAs was analyzed. The AAs containing fly ash of the amount under 50 wt% showed the black-coring and bloating phenomena. The AAs containing fly ash of the amount over 5Owt%, however, the specific gravity was increased and the color of specimens fully changed to black. These color change phenomena were caused from the formation of FeO by the reduction reaction of almost $Fe_2O_3$ component by the excessive reducing atmosphere formed simultaneously with the rapid emission of the gases generated from the high contents of unburned carbon of with increasing the added fly ash amount. Specific gravity was decreased as fly ash contents increased in the case of sintering at the same temperature condition. Water absorption of all specimens except of the specimens containing 10 wt% fly ashes decreased with increasing sintering temperature. These were because a liquid phase was formed as the increasing the sintering temperature. In the case of the specimens manufactured in this study containing fly ashes discharged from the fluidized bed combustor in a the thermal power plant and 10~90 wt% of clay, the specific gravity was 0.9~1.8 and the water absorptivity was 8~60%, therefore it is considered that those results can be applied to the light or heavy aggregates.

Development of structures such as slope and tunnel, waste disposal, oil and LPG storages, and underground power house and so on, is increasing with the year. The method for appropriate estimation of rock state such as fresh or damaged rocks is also requested with increasing structural development. On these purposes, seismic logging system, which is a simple and easy way for handling as well as small and light, has been developed. Seismic logging method is one of logging tests, which is able to evaluate the state of rock mass with various shapes and is possible to obtain the relatively accuracy data at situ state. In addition, seismic logging method is at to apply to estimate structural behavior, before and after support installed. According to the results obtained from this study, firstly, it is clear that the extent of damage in rock slope due to blasting is able to be evaluated with quantity using seismic logging method, moreover to decide the damage zone in rock slope reasonably. Secondly, it is expected that installing depth of support is able to be decided more effectively and economically, using the results of seismic logging data. Finally, seismic logging method is also able to be applied safety supervision of structures, before and after support installed.

Component-based software development (CBD) technology has been widely accepted as a new effective paradigm for building software systems with reusable components, consequently reducing efforts and shortening time-to-market. Hence, components should provide standard or common functionalities in a domain, yielding a higher level of reusability. Especially, micro-level variability within the commonality should also be modeled so that a product member-specific business logic or requirement can be supported through component tailoring or customization The importance of commonality and variability (C&V) analysis has been emphasized in several CBD methods, but they lack of well-defined systematic process, detailed instructions, and standard artifact templates. As the result, the development of components has been carried out in ad-hoc fashion, depending on developer's experience. In this paper, we propose a systematic process and work instructions to design components. The process consists of phases and their activities and each activity is specified with detailed instructions and artifact templates in order to facilitate effective development of components. To verify a feasibility of the propose method, a case study in a banking domain and comparison and assessment between the proposed method and other methods are additionally provided. With proposed processes and instructions, reusability and efficiency of developing components can be better supported.

Most of the recent researches for ATM switches have been based on multistage interconnection network known as regularity and self-routing property. These networks can switch packets simultaneously and in parallel. However, they are blocking networks in the sense that packet is capable of collision with each other Mainly Banyan network have been used for structure. There are several ways to reduce the blocking or to increase the throughput of banyan-type switches: increasing the internal link speeds, placing buffers in each switching node, using multiple path, distributing the load evenly in front of the banyan network and so on. Therefore, this paper proposes the use of recirculating shuffle-exchange network to reduce the blocking and to improve hardware complexity. This structures are recirculating shuffle-exchange network as simplified in hardware complexity and Rank network with tree structure which send only a packet with highest priority to the next network, and recirculate the others to the previous network. after it decides priority number on the Packets transferred to the same destination, The transferred Packets into banyan network use the function of self routing through decomposition and composition algorithm and all they arrive at final destinations. To analyze throughput, waiting time and packet loss ratio according to the size of buffer, the probabilities are modeled by a binomial distribution of packet arrival. If it is 50 percentage of load, the size of buffer is more than 15. It means the acceptable packet loss ratio. Therefore, this paper simplify the hardware complexity as use of recirculating shuffle-exchange network instead of bitonic sorter.

1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane (HFC-134a), which is used as refrigerant in air conditioners, has been recently regulated as a greenhouse gas and is recommended for reuse by refining. It is very important to quantitatively analyze trace impurities present in the refrigerant to evaluate the criteria for reuse. In this study, trace impurities including C, H, Cl, and F, which are difficult to quantify because there are no reference materials, were quantitatively analyzed by a gas chromatograph-atomic emission detector (GC/AED); for this analysis, this was preceded by a qualitative analysis with a GC-mass selective detector (GC/MSD). In addition, the AED response was investigated using a hydrocarbon mixed reference material, which was proportional to the number of atoms in the component. Fifteen refrigerant components were detected as trace impurities in HFC-134a by qualitative analysis of trace impurities including C, H, Cl, and F in the samples. Based on the results of the qualitative analysis, quantitative analysis of trace impurities using AED showed that the highest mole fractions were for the $CHClF_2$ component ($45438.38{\mu}mol/mol$) in one sample and for the $C_2H_2ClF_3$ component ($1311.47{\mu}mol/mol$) in another sample. From this study, it has been shown that it is possible for this analytical method to be applied to the qualitative and quantitative analysis of trace compounds in refrigerants, which are difficult to quantify because of the absence of reference materials.

Image retrieval has become a huge part of computer vision and data mining. Although commercial image retrieval systems such as Google show great performances, the improvement on the performances are constantly on demand because of the rapid growth of data on web space. To satisfy the demand, many re-ranking methods, which enhance the performances by reordering retrieved results with independent algorithms, has been proposed. Conventional re-ranking algorithms are based on the assumption that visual patterns are not used on initial image retrieval stage. However, image search engines in present have begun to use the visual and the assumption is required to be reconsidered. Also, though it is possible to suspect that integration of multiple retrieval systems can improve the overall performance, the research on the topic has not been done sufficiently. In this paper, we made the condition that other manner than cooperation cannot improve the ranking result. We evaluate the algorithm on toy model and show that propose module can improve the retrieval results.

Soil N mineralization and nitrification can be measured conveniently using mixed bed (cation and anion) exchange resin bags. However, appropriate use of these resin bags requires pretreatment to avoid colorimetric interference and standardize N ion adsorption. Three pretreatments were evaluated : control (untreated), 2 M NaCl with a distilled water rinse, and 4 M NaCl. The 4 M NaCl treatment was effective at removing background levels of $NH_4{^+}$ and $NO_3{^-}$, but adsorbed low amounts (about 40%) of inorganic N from standard solutions. Untreated resin bags adsorbed a constant, higher amount of $NO_3{^-}$ (60%), but did not remove background levels of $NH_4{^+}$. The 2 M NaCl treatment followed by a distilled water rinse performed best : it removed background $NH_4{^+}$ and adsorbed a constant amount of both $NH_4{^+}$ (70%) and $NO_3{^-}$ (60%). Because the ion exchange resin is fairly expensive, we also tested if the resin bags could be reused. Resin bags were either loaded with $NH_4{^+}$ and $NO_3{^-}$ in the laboratory or incubated in soil in the field, desorbed with the 2 M NaCl treatment, and then loaded with standard $NH_4{^+}$ and $NO_3{^-}$ solutions. Lab loaded resin bags adsorbed about 60% of inorganic N then loaded with 2.5 or $5.0mgN\;1^{-1}$ and 70% when loaded at 10 or $20mgN\;1^{-1}$, whereas reused field incubated bags showed the opposite adsorption efficiency. These results demonstrate that resin bags can give reproducible results, but care must be taken to evaluate the effect of pretreatment and potential for reuse.

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is emerging as an effective approach for developing applications by dynamically discovering and composing reusable services. Generally, the benefits of SOA are known as low-development cost, high agility, high scalability, business level reuse, etc. However, a representative problem for widely applying SOA is the performance problem. This is caused by the nature of SOA such as service deployment and execution in distributed environment, heterogeneity of service platforms, use of a standard message format, etc. Therefore, performance problem has to be overcome to effectively apply SOA, and service performance has to be measured precisely to analyze where and why the problem has occurred. Prerequisite for this is a definition of a quality model to effectively measure service performance. However, current works on service performance lacks in defining a practical and precise quality model for measuring performance which adequately addresses the execution environment and features of SOA. Hence, in this paper, we define a quality model which includes a set of practical metrics for measuring service performance and an effective technique to measure the value of the proposed metrics. In addition, we apply the metrics for Hotel Reservation Service System (HRSS) to show the practicability and usefulness of the proposed metrics.
