Dynamic response of a three span continuous bridge has been determined by full scale experiments on the bridge. In the experiments, a heavy vehicle was driven across the bridge at different speeds and along different lanes of travel and the strains were recorded at different locations. The bridge was made of reinforced concrete and was asymmetric in plan and in elevation. Frequencies and modes of vibration excited by the vehicle were determined. The dependence of the dynamic amplification on bridge location and vehicle speed was investigated and dynamic amplifications up to 1.5 were recorded, which was higher than values predicted by bridge design codes. It was evident that when this asymmetric bridge was loaded by an asymmetric forcing function, higher modes, which are lateral and/or torsional in nature, were excited. Dynamic modulus of elasticity and the support stiffness influenced the natural frequencies of the bridge, which in turn influenced the dynamic amplifications. Larger than anticipated dynamic amplification factors and the excitation of lateral and/or torsional modes should be of interest and concern to bridge engineers.

본 논문에서는 비대칭 이중게이트 MOSFET의 채널 내 도핑농도에 대한 드레인 유도 장벽 감소 현상에 대하여 분석하고자한다. 드레인 유도 장벽 감소 현상은 드레인 전압에 의하여 소스 측 전위장벽이 낮아지는 효과로서 중요한 단채널 효과이다. 이를 분석하기 위하여 포아송방정식을 이용하여 해석학적 전위분포를 구하였으며 전위분포에 영향을 미치는 채널도핑 농도뿐만이 아니라 상하단 산화막 두께, 하단 게이트 전압 등에 대하여 드레인 유도 장벽 감소 현상을 관찰하였다. 결과적으로 드레인 유도 장벽 감소 현상은 채널도핑 농도에 따라 큰 변화를 나타냈다. 채널길이가 25 nm 이하로 감소하면 드레인 유도 장벽 감소 현상은 급격히 상승하며 채널도핑농도에도 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 산화막 두께가 증가할수록 도핑농도에 따른 드레인유도장벽감소 현상의 변화가 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 채널도핑 농도에 관계없이 일정한 DIBL을 유지하기 위하여 상단과 하단의 게이트 산화막 두께가 반비례하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 하단게이트 전압은 그 크기에 따라 도핑농도의 영향이 변화하고 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 비대칭 이중게이트 MOSFET의 채널길이와 채널두께의 비에 따른 드레인 유도 장벽 감소 현상의 변화에 대하여 분석하고자한다. 드레인 전압이 소스 측 전위장벽에 영향을 미칠 정도로 단채널을 갖는 MOSFET에서 발생하는 중요한 이차효과인 드레인 유도 장벽 감소는 문턱전압의 이동 등 트랜지스터 특성에 심각한 영향을 미친다. 드레인 유도 장벽 감소현상을 분석하기 위하여 포아송방정식으로부터 급수형태의 전위분포를 유도하였으며 차단전류가 10^-7 A/m일 경우 비대칭 이중게이트 MOSFET의 상단게이트 전압을 문턱전압으로 정의하였다. 비대칭 이중게이트 MOSFET는 단채널 효과를 감소시키면서 채널길이 및 채널두께를 초소형화할 수 있는 장점이 있으므로 본 연구에서는 채널길이와 두께 비에 따라 드레인 유도 장벽 감소를 관찰하였다. 결과적으로 드레인 유도 장벽 감소현상은 단채널에서 크게 나타났으며 하단게이트 전압, 상하단 게이트 산화막 두께 그리고 채널도핑 농도 등에 따라 큰 영향을 받고 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

China's Belt and Road Initiative infrastructure connectivity and other projects are presented in much of the discourse as a grand strategy to trap developing nations in debt, to exert asymmetric power and construct a new world economic order. The asymmetric relationship between China and Myanmar might therefore be expected to generate a range of political risks for stakeholders. Myanmar itself presents a "perfect storm" of problems, with dysfunctional governance, civil conflict, under-development and growing economic dependence on China. The Kyaukphyu port project and associated Special Economic Zone in Myanmar's troubled Rakhine state is investigated as a case study of risks on the Belt and Road. While worst case fears China might seize military control of the port appear unlikely, at least in current conditions, empirical observation indicates the complexity on the ground generates an array of other risks - as well as opportunities, should conditions allow. Further, despite challenges and constrained capacity, Myanmar governments have demonstrated agency, including by re-negotiating control and costs of the Kyaukphyu project. The case underlines that conditions are more complicated than simply China's asymmetric power. A sceptical approach is taken to normative discourses in order to build inductive understanding of how stakeholders and local experts perceive dynamics underway. A political risk approach is deployed to develop a framework to identify, analyse and assess risks for actors in relation to the Kyaukphyu project. The research findings are presented on an interim basis, given current constraints on field interviews due to the current crisis.

A wavelength-independent optical sensor based on an asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometer (AMZI) is proposed. The optical sensor based on an AMZI is very sensitive to wavelength, and wavelength drift will lead to measurement error. The optical sensor is compensated to reduce its dependence on wavelength. The insensitivity of the optical sensor to wavelength mainly depends on the compensation structure, which is composed of an AMZI cascaded with another AMZI and can compensate the wavelength drift. The influence of wavelength drift on the optical sensor can be counteracted by carefully designing the size parameters of the compensation structure. When the wavelength changes from 1549.9 nm to 1550.1 nm, the error after compensation can be lower than 0.066%. Furthermore, the effect of fabrication tolerance on compensation results is analyzed. The proposed compensation method can also be used to compensate the drift of other parameters such as temperature, and can be applied to the compensation of other interference-based optical devices.

This paper reports a side-coupled asymmetric $1{\times}2$ plastic optical fiber coupler for an optical sensor system. The dependence of the optical power coupling ratio on the coupling angle and refractive index of the adhesion layer in both the forward and backward directions was examined based on the geometrical optics. It was confirmed experimentally that the coupling ratios can be optimized by controlling the coupling angle and refractive index of the adhesion layer. A maximum forward coupling efficiency > 93% was achieved.

This paper examines quantile dependence and directional predictability between the foreign exchange market and the stock market in Korea. Instead of adopting a multivariate model such as a vector autoregressive model, a multivariate GARCH model or a combination of both models, we apply the cross-quantilogram recently proposed by Han et al. (2016). Considering various quantile ranges, we investigate various spillover effects between two markets. Our findings show that there exists an asymmetric bi-directional spillover between two markets and the interdependence between two markets implies that one market has significant predictive power on the other.

The first and second harmonics have been measured in the iron whisker with the axial current that produces a circular field. The observed harmonics profiles have been discussed in terms of theoretical analysis based on the nonlinear, asymmetric magnetization that are related to the nucleation, transformation and annihilation of domains. The change of second harmonics profile is more sensitive to the domain variation than that of first harmonics.

The magnetization angle and thickness dependence of magnetic anisotropy in the exchange-biased [Pd/Co]${\times}$5/FeMn multilayers with an out-of-plane anisotropy were investigated to determine the origin of perpendicular exchange biasing. As the Co thickness increased to 1.5 nm in the [Pd(0.8 nm)/Co(t)]${\times}$5/FeMn(120 nm) films, the hysteresis loops were converted from square loops at a thin Co (<0.4 nm) to complicated round ones at a thick Co. The irregularly asymmetric step (IAS) at the left top of the loop appeared in the loop of the 0.6-nm Co film due to an inhomogeneity in the exchange anisotropy. As the Pd thickness increased to 1.6 nm, the step disappeared, and the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy was maximized in the Co thickness between 0.6 and 0.9 nm. The conversion of the magnetization loop along the magnetization angle coincided with the equation $H_{(eff)}=H_o\;cos{\theta}$. The IAS of the 0.8-nm Pd film disappeared after thermal annealing up to $200^{\circ}C$ under an external magnetic field.
