Rock Bolt generally utilizes deformed reinforcing bar welded from structural steel of which strength is higher than required for making advantageous use of the support function of ground. In the condition with highly corrosive underground water, however, problem frequently occurs on tunnel and slope stabilization in terms of repair, rehabilitation and maintenance issues due to the destruction of Rock Bolt by corrosion of steel. A structural performance evaluation for GFRP Rock Bolt was conducted for the purpose of resolving the foregoing problem and at the same time developing a permanently-usable support material. This study intended to evaluate the safety factor of GFRP Rock Bolt by implementing the slope stability interpretation via structural analysis on the basis of its structural characteristics derived from both tensile force function test and shear force function test. It is judged based on the results that GFRP Rock Bolt would secure sufficient ground stability as an alternative material for existing Steel Rock Bolt.

This study considerated reject ash, wastes of coal-fired power plants, to use mineral admixtures for cement. The pozzolan activity selected the fineness of the efficient reject ash through comparison and it compared to the fly ash that are widely used for concrete mixed material. Cement composites was prepared replacing of slag cement by fineness reject ash and fly ash, and properties of cement composites was tested by paste(setting time, fluidity, instrumental analysis) and mortar(compressive strength). Instrumental analysis results showed hydration reaction of fineness reject ash was not different from fly ash, but had more dense micro structures. Results of physical properties showed fineness reject ash shorten setting time, increased compressive strength compared by fly ash. Therefore using fineness reject ash with $6,000cm^2$/g to concrete mineral admixtures or cement composites was might be possible and could contribute to improve properties of concrete.

Recently, the ground injection method using water glasses as one of the main resources and the products of these constructions have basic problems in terms of the method of constructions for the permanent foundation reinforcement and stopping leakage of water because they have some serious problems such as durability, compressive strength, injectant eluviation and so forth even though they are still used to stop leakage of water in the temporary structures. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the strength characteristic and environment friendliness of NDS method by unconfined compressive strenth test, permeability test, length change test, leaching test, and assessment of environmental impact in comparison water glass type material. The test results show that NDS method has significant improvement of strength, permeability, volume change, and leaching. An assessment of environmental impact also demonstrates that the NDS material is environmentally friendly.

Recently, an interest in a mobile search is increasing according to the growing propagation of smart phones. However, a keypad, which is not appropriate for mobile environment, is the only input media for the mobile search. As an alternative, voice emerged as a new media for the mobile search, but this also has weaknesses. Thus, in the paper, we propose a mobile content called Orthros for searching the Internet using images as an input. Orthros extracts texts from images, and then inserts the texts to public search engines as a keyword. Also, Orthros can repeat searching with the extracted texts by storing result URL to internal databases. As an experiment, we analyze properties of recognizable images and present the implementation method in details.

A combustion test for a supersonic combustor was conducted using a direct-connected type supersonic combustor test facility. The facility was verified for the capability of simulating required flow conditions. The test condition was maintained at Mach 2.0, $915^{\circ}C$ and 496 kPa for 15 s. Using gaseous hydrogen as the fuel, the combustor model was also tested for its ignition and flame holding capability at the fuel equivalence ratio of 0.12. Combustion efficiency was 71%, and the supersonic flow regime was obtained at this test condition.

Mathematical model of maneuvering motion for a single-screw single-rudder ship established and versatile applications to the special situations of maneuvering are attempted. While, the mathematical model for twin-screw twin-rudder ship is not presented so much, because that type of ship is not popular. Lee et al. have examined the characteristics of such ship by captive model tests in 1988. This paper treats new mathematical models for propeller effective wake ($1-w_p$) and effective neutral rudder angle ${\delta}_R$ in the case of twin-screw twin-rudder ship. And some maneuvering motions are calculated with proposed models and compared with exact simulations.

자성재료에 자기장을 걸어주변 가열되고 자기장을 제거하면 냉각되는 성질이 있는데, 이를 자기열량효과(magnetocaloric effect)라고 하며, 이것을 이용해서 저온을 생성시키는 방법을 자기냉동(magnetic refrigeration)이라고 한다. 큐리 온도(Curie temperature) 부근의 강자성체에 자 기장이 가해지면 전자례도내에서 쌍을 이루지 않은 전자들의 자기모벤트들이 자기장에 평행 하게 배열되는데, 이로 인해 열역학적 무질서의 척도인 엔트로피는 낮아지고 이러한 손실을 보상하기 위해 재료의 온도가 올라가게 된다.반대로 자기장이 제거되면 자기모벤트가 본래의 무질서한 상태로 돌아오며, 엔트로피가 증가하 고 재료의 온도는 떨어지게 되는 것이다. 역사적으로 보면 1881년에 Warburg가 큐리온도 부근의 철에서 자기열량효과를 처음 발견하였으며. 1926년과 1927년에 Debye와 Giauque가 각각 단열소자볍 (adiabatic demagnetization)을 제안함으로써 실용화되기 시작하여 주로 극저온을 얻는 방법으로 이용되어 왔다. 1950년도 이전의 연구는 절대온도 영도(OK)에 도달하고 자 하는 순수과학적인 노력으로서 개방사이클(open cycle)을 이용한 단열냉각 방식을 추구하 였으나, 1950년 이후부터는 공학적인 응용을 목적으로 밀폐사이클(closed cycle)을 형성하는 자기냉동기에 관한 연구가 진행되었다. 1976년에 Brown은 희토류(rare earth) 금속인 가돌리늄(Gd)을 사용하여 유체(물 80%와 에틸 알코올 20%)를 재생시킴으로써 상온에서 작동 하는 자기냉동기를 보고한 바 있다. 그는 7 T의 큰 자장을 이용하였으며, 고온부와 저온부의 온도는 각각 $46^{\circ}C와\;-1^{\circ}C로서\;47^{\circ}C$의 온도간격을 얻었다. 자기냉동에 있어서의 또 하나의 중요한 진전은 1978년과 1982년에 Steyert와 Barclay에 의해서 능동자기재생기(active magnetic r regenerator)의 개념이 소개되고 개발된 것으로, 이는 자성재료가 냉매로서 뿐만 아니라 열전달 유체의 재생기로도 사용되는 방식이다. 이상과 같은 자기냉동기술의 발달에 이어서 1997년에 미국의 Astronautics사(Wisconsin주 Madison시 소재)와 Ames 연구소(Iowa주 Ames 시 소재)의 공동연구팀이 발표한 두 가지의 새로운 진전으로 인해 공기조화 및 냉동분야에 적용할 수 있는 자기냉동기의 실용화 가능성이 한층 높아졌다. 이들의 연구결과는 (1) 자기냉동이 실온에서도 실현 가능한 기술이며 증기압 축식 냉동에 필적할 만하다는 것을 보인 것과 (2) 이미 알려져 있던 자기냉동재료보다 자기 열량효과가 훨씬 큰 새로운 재료를 발견한 것이다. 이로써 자기냉동에 대한 관심과 기대가 한결 커지고 있다. 본 원고에서는 자기냉동의 원리가 되는 자기열량효과와 이를 이용한 자기냉동의 방법 그리고 최근에 이루어진 새로운 진전에 대해 소개하고 공기조화 및 냉동분야에의 적용 가능성을 전망해 보고자 한다.

Fiber Reinforced Polymer, FRP has a light weight, a high tensile strength based on design, non-electronic, non-magnetic, and rust-resistant feature, etc and many researches are being conducted recently on FRP in the construction area. Among them, GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer) is excellent in price competitiveness and is widely being used. However, since GFRP has a relative low modulus of elasticity and causes excessive deflection, the section must be large to be used as a structural component and an investigative review must be carried out in design to set the limit for deflection by the use load. Therefore, in order to solve the mentioned technical problems, this study suggested a section of a module form such that application of a large-scale section is possible. Also, to secure the low rigidity of FRP, this study developed a new FRP+ concrete composite girder form that confined the concrete. To identify the structural movement of the developed FRP+ concrete composite girder, shear strength test was carried out.

This study reviews the structure of wooden printing blocks in Japan, focusing on the blocks as three-dimensional objects. Inspection is more effective three-dimensionally than two-dimensionally, and for the first time in wooden printing block research, the study uses a 3D CT scanner and a high-resolution 3D digitizer. The 3D CT scanner examines cross sections of the blocks and identifies their grain and contents, including insects surviving within them. The 3D digitizer enables observation of objects up to 0.02 mm; this allows detailed collection of block surface information, which is difficult to identify with a conventional microscope.

Nonlocal means denoising algorithm is one of the most widely used denoising algorithm. Because it performs well, and the theoretic idea is intuitive and simple. However the conventional nonlocal means algorithm has still some problems such as noise remaining in the denoised flat region and blurring artifacts in the denoised edge and pattern region. Thus many improved algorithms based on nonlocal means have been proposed. In this paper, we proposed new improved nonlocal means denoising algorithm by weight update through weights sorting and newly defined threshold. Updated weights can make weights more refined and definite, and denoising is possible without that artifacts. Experimental results including comparisons with conventional algorithms for various noise levels and test images show the proposed algorithm has a good performance in both visual and quantitative criteria.
