This paper presents the numerical investigation for the hydraulic behavior of a fractured rock mass with a hydromechanical interaction which may be considered during the in-situ hydraulic injection test. These experiments consist in a series of flow meter injection tests for fractures existing along an open hole section installed in a borehole, and experimental results are applied for testing a numerical model developed to the analysis and prediction of such hydromechanical interactions. Field experimental results show that conductive fractures form a dynamic and interdependent network, that individual fractures cannot be adequately modeled as independent systems, that new fluid intaking zones generate when pore pressure exceeds the minimum principal stress magnitude in that borehole, and that pore pressures much larger than this minimum stress can be further supported by the circulated fractures. In this study, these characteristics are investigated numerically how to influence the morphology of the natural fracture network in a rock mass by using a discrete fracture ntework model.

This study was carried out to investigate all the parts' weight growth under the different light intensity and root-cutting. As results : ${\cdot}$ Fresh and dry weight of leaf, shoot, root and seedling treated under 63% R.L.I showed the largest growth. ${\cdot}$ The largest growth in fresh and dry weight of shoot arid seedling appeared at 1/4 root cutting plot. ${\cdot}$ The value of T/R ratio was increased in low light intensity and high root-cutting. ${\cdot}$ The simple nonlinear relationship between light intensity, root-cutting and T/R ratio was recognized, respectively.

Cocrystallization of active pharmaceutical ingredients has been widely recognized as a versatile tool to regulate the physical properties of pharmaceutical compounds through designed crystal structures. Grinding or milling has been especially useful to screen the feasibility of cocrystal formation, and the addition of a small amount of liquid is routinely necessary. In the present study, the effect of temperature was studied for the milling cocrystallization of ibuprofen and nicotinamide to establish a liquid-free method. The milling-induced cocrystallization was more effective with liquid nitrogen cooling than at room temperature, which was confirmed by XRD and DSC analyses. This behavior was attributed to the limited molecular mobility below the glass transition temperatures of the cocrystal components, which made it effective to destruct the crystals of raw materials and consequently form the ibuprofen/nicotinamide cocrystal. Further studies would be necessary to establish the utility of the current conclusion to the field of pharmaceutical crystallization.

The iterative detection and decoding (IDD) has been shown to dramatically improve the bit error rate (BER) performance of the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems. However, these techniques require a high computational complexity since it is required to compute the soft decisions for each bit. In this paper, we show IDD comprised of sphere decoder with low-density parity check (LDPC) codes and present the tree search strategy, called a layer symbol search (LSS), to obtain soft decisions with a low computational complexity. In addition, an adaptive early termination is proposed to reduce the computational complexity during an iteration between an inner sphere decoder and an outer LDPC decoder. It is shown that the proposed approach can achieve the performance similar to an existing algorithm with 70% lower computational complexity compared to the conventional algorithms.

In order to quantitatively evaluate the effect of fly ash (FA) as partial replacement of cement on the life-cycle environmental impact of concrete, a comprehensive database including 4023 laboratory mixes and 2120 plant mixes was analyzed. The environmental loads on the life-cycle assessment were quantitatively converted into environmental impact indicators through categorization, characterization, normalization and weighting process. The life-cycle environmental impacts of concrete could be classified into three categories including global warming, photochemical oxidant creation and abiotic resource depletion. Furthermore, these environmental impacts of concrete was decreased with the increase of the replacement level of FA and governed by the unit content of ordinary portland cement (OPC). As a result, simple equations to assess the environmental impact indicators could be formulated as a function of the unit content of binder and the replacement level of FA.

This paper proposes a complexity reduced list sphere decoding (LSD) scheme for joint iterative soft detection scheme for coded MIMO system. The conventional LSD scheme is based on searching the candidates with a fixed radius. However, once the candidate list is full, it is highly probable that the radius can be reduced. By reducing the radius, the complexity can be also reduced. We propose a simple and efficient radius update method for complexity reduction of list version sphere decoding and its application to iterative soft MIMO detection. We evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme with a joint soft-input-soft-ouput iterative MIMO detection in combination with turbo codes. Simulation results show that the proposed methods provide substantial complexity reduction while achieving similar bit error rate (BER) performance as the conventional LSD scheme.

CdTe는 최근 적외선 검출기 개발에 응용하기 위해 활발한 연구가 진행 중인데 이는 HgCdTe(MCT)와 격자 불일치가 0.3% 이하로 대구경 단결정 MCT박막 제작이 용이하기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 MBE 공정으로 GaAs 물질이 완충층으로 증착된 Si(100)기판을 사용하여 CdTe 물질과 Si기판간의 격자 불일치를 줄여 대면적 CdTe 단결정 박막을 얻고자 완충층의 두께별 결정성 및 표면 특성을 보았다. CdTe 박막의 증착은 Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition system (MOCVD)를 이용하였고 실험결과 2nm의 GaAs 완충층이 사용된 박막에서 단결정 CdTe(400) 박막이 성장 되었으며, GaAs 완충층의 두께가 증가 함에 따라 $1{\mu}m$ 완충층에서는 다결정 박막이 성장 되었다. 본 연구결과는 Si 기판에 성장된 단결정 CdTe층을 이용 대면적 HgCdTe웨이퍼의 제조에 널리 이용 될 수 있으리라 여겨진다.

Multi antenna techniques using space-time codes can achieve diversity gains in a multi-path environment without additional bandwidth requirement. Most of the 4G candidate standards including the IEEE 802.16e adopt multi-input multi-output (MIMO) schemes to achieve either high throughput performance or diversity gains. In these 4G candidate standards, turbo codes using an iterative decoder with soft input soft output are used to overcome serious channel fading. For this reason, the estimated signal values from MIMO detectors should be soft decision detection values. In this paper, we propose efficient methods to estimate soft decision detection values for various space time coding schemes, and provide the simulation results of turbo coded space time coding scheme over an IEEE 802.16e link.

Granite gneiss, pophyroblastic gneiss and leucocratic gneiss are widely distributed in the Seungju-Suncheon area, the southwestern part of the Sobacksan Massif, Korea. These orthogneisses show intrusive relationships in outcrops of the study area. This study focuses on the geochemical properties and the tectonic environments for the original rocks of these orthogneisses. The pophyroblastic gneiss is plotted in diorite and granodiorite domain, and granite gneiss and leucocratic gneiss are plotted in both of granodiorite and granite domains on lUGS silica-alkali diagram. Geochemical properies of major elements suggest that these rocks are sub-alkali rock series, and were formed from S-type magma which generated in syn-collision tectonic environment. Discrimination diagrams using HFS elements suggest that original rocks of the three orthogneisses were granitoid of calc-alkali rock series, and were formed in syn-collision environment.

This study confirmed structural causal relations among concepts such as characteristics of service-offer, satisfaction, trust, affective commitment, and loyalty and surveyed mediating roles of affective commitment. The results are as follows. First, Customized service and service reliability influenced satisfaction while service competency did not. Service reliability affected trust while customized service and service competency did not. Second, satisfaction influenced trust and affective commitment but not loyalty while trust affected affective commitment and loyalty. Third, affective commitment influenced loyalty through the mediating role. The results mean that the seller-buyer relationship is a dynamic relationship. Finally, we discussed the role of affective commitment and the strategies of affective commitment development, and suggested future studies.
