Developed is a new environment-friendly concrete-block retaining wall system. The conventional analysis methods are not directly applicable because the proposed concrete-block wall system is made of by interlocking the blocks with shear keys. Therefore, the shear analysis as well as stability analysis have been conducted to secure the safety of block-wall system. Overall slope stability analysis was also performed. An appropriate strengthening method was developed to ensure the safety when the block-wall system is relatively high. The method of analysis for strengthening the concrete-block wall system was also proposed. The proposed environment-friendly concrete block retaining wall system shows reasonable safety and can be a good construction method for retaining walls and river bank walls.

We propose a variant of parallel block incomplete factorization preconditioners for a symmetric block-tridiagonal H-matrix. Theoretical properties of these block preconditioners are compared with those of block incomplete factoriztion preconditioners for the corresponding somparison matrix. Numerical results of the preconditioned CG(PCG) method using these block preconditioners are compared with those of PCG using other types of block incomplete factorization preconditioners. Lastly, parallel computations of the block incomplete factorization preconditioners are carried out on the Cray C90.

In this paper, we propose a method of decision on blurring for business card images using block classification. In the proposed method, an input image is partitioned into 8${\times}$8 blocks and each block is classified into character block or background block using a block energy calculated in DCT domain. Whether the input image is blurring or non-blurring is determined using a ratio of low frequency energy and high frequency energy in DCT domain. Experimental results show that the proposed block classification classifies block well and the proposed decision on blurring decides well for various business card images.

As the importance of three-dimensiona (3D) nano patterns and structures has recently emerged, interest in the study of 3D structures of block copolymers has increased. However, most existing studies on block copolymer 3D patterns on substrates are limited to simple 3D structures such as a multi-layered forms. In this study, we propose an experimental method for realizing free-standing 3D block copolymer patterns on substrates using an e-beam lithographic template and film transfer method. The block copolymer 3D structure formed in wide hole templates are similar to simple multi-layered structures; however, as the width of the hole template become narrower, more complex block copolymer 3D structures are formed in which the upper and lower layer structures are interconnected. Furthermore, we introduce a method to fabricate novel block copolymer structures in which the 2D planar structures are connected to 3D complex structures. Proposed 3D block copolymer fabrication method provides a framework for generation of unconventional 3D structures of block copolymer, which can be useful for next generation 3D devices.

A postprocessing method for blocking artifact reduction in block coded images is presented. The proposed method consists of classification, adaptive inter-block filtering, and intra-block filtering. First, each block is classified as one of seven classes according to the characteristics of 8x8 DCT coefficients. Then each block boundary is faltered by adaptive inter-block filters, which use the block classes. Finally to the blocks which are classified as edge block classes, intra-block filtering is performed. Experimental tests produced that the proposed method gives better results than the convectional methods from both a subjective and an objective viewpoint.

The GNUnet proposed a file encoding method by lKB block size to support anonymity of files and decentralizes encoded block to peers through unstructured model. but, the encoding and block decentralizing method with 600$\sim$700MB large multimedia file appeared two problems. First problem. it need addition R block and I block, which make about 4% of storage resource. Second problem, unstructured model added network load by broadcasting decentralizing method. This paper suggest variable encoding block size and structured model by block decentralizing solution. Suggested encoding method reduced block request supplementary block generation to 1% and network load by proposal structured model sending answer through dedicated peer to decentralize block.

In [2] A.Hadjidimos proposed the generalized accelerated over-relaxation (GAOR) methods which generalize the basic iterative method for the solution of linear systems. In this paper we consider the convergence of the two parallel accelerated generalized AOR iterative methods and obtain some convergence theorems for the case when the coefficient matrix A is a block diagonally dominant matrix or a generalized block diagonally dominant matrix.

This paper presents a new method for finding the Block Pulse series coefficients and deriving the Block Pulse integration operational matrices which are necessary for the control fields using the Block Pulse functions. This paper presents the method for improving the accuracy of the Block Pulse series coefficients and derives the related integration operational matrices by using the Lagrange second order interpolation polynomial and expands that matrix to general form.

This paper introduces a new local feature extraction method and image matching method for the localization and classification of targets. Proposed method is based on the block-by-block projection associated with directional pattern of blocks. Each pattern has its own eigen-vertors called as CEBs(Classified Eigen-Blocks). Also proposed block-based image matching method is robust to translation and occlusion. Performance of proposed feature extraction and matching method is verified by the face localization and FLIR-vehicle-image classification test.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the fitness according to drafting method of the block patterns for women in Korea. The major findings of this study are as follows: 1. According to each sensory test of the frontal view, back view, side view and silhouette Block Pattern I is the best of them in summation of the sensory tests score. Block, Pattern D and I have good shape too. However the best block Pattern D shows good score in evaluation of overall fitness and silhouette. 2. Most of block patterns, which show high scores in sensory tests, are the Compromise Method taking merits of the Proportional Method and Short Measure Method among the Pattern Drafting Methods. Box-shape patterns show low score in the sensory tests. 3. Regarding to the number of measurement, the patterns of the Compromise Method using 6-8 measurements seem to be optimal. In degree of fitness, loose fit type basic patterns are better than other patterns from a viewpoint of the total satisfaction.
