The objective of this study is to find the effective stiffness and compressive strengths of a unit-cell pinwheel truss and double pinwheel truss model designed following a double helical geometry similar to that of the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) structure in biology. The ideal solution for their derived relative density is correlated with a ratio of the truss thickness and length. To validate the relative stiffness or relative strength, ABAQUS software is used for the computational model analysis on five models having a different size of truss diameter from 1mm to 5mm. Applied material properties are stainless steel type 304. The boundary conditions applied were fixed bottom and 5 mm downward displacement. It was assumed that the width, length, and height are all equal. Consequently, it is found that the truss model has a lower effective stiffness and a lower effective yielding strength.

The rice variety, Kwanok, was reared in the water, land and salt seed beds and transplanted to the reclaimed soil area having an average of 0.48% salt content (0.67% at the end of April). The plant height of land bel seedlings at transplanting stage was short but the dry-weight/plant-height ratio was large and the rooting ability was vigorous remarkably after transplantation in the salty area. The central cylinder, vessels, sclerenchyma, endodermis and other mechanical tissues of the root of land bed seedlings were well developed while the size of cortical cell layers were small. The cytoplasm of the cortical parenchyma at the root tips seemed to be most abundant in the land bed seedlings. The formation of the aerial cavity in the cortex of primary root was rapid and it seemed that the developmental mechanism of the aerial cavity in the rice plant roots was related to the development of the lateral roots.

Quenching effects of acetylene and hydrogen into oxygen detonation by using detonation arrester ［DA］are studied in this paper. The experiments were carried out in cylinderical shock tube. 5m long, 30mm dia., with stolchlometric ratio ［SR］of each gas and 10-l20$\mu$ Cell Size of brass and Stainless Steel of DAs were installed in it To clarify arresting ability correlation with initial pressure, Pi, critical thickness, Tct, and shapes of supporting panel of DA are also investigated It is found that ­detonation velocities has most dependency on Pi, it shows notable changes around 0.5kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ for hydrogen, 0.15kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ for acetylen respectively, ­DA can be safety device able to arrest shock wave of detonation, ­over Tct flame transmission might be only the factor has to be considered, ­acetylene seems to be much more stronger detonation characteristics than hydrogen because of reaction heat.

Microcrystalline (${\mu}c$) silicon thin films were prepared on glass by plasma-enhanced-chemical-vapor-deposition (PECVD) at various substrate temperature, and dilution ratio of $H_2$ with $SiH_4$. The structural and optical properties of. the ${\mu}c-Si$ thin films were investigated using XRD and UV-VIS spectrophotometer. The ${\mu}c-Si$ thin film with 42 nm grain size was grown at optimal condition of 2.5 Torr, spacing between electrodes of 3cm, deposition time of 3000s, RF power of 200W, substrate temperature of $350^{\circ}C$, $SiH_4$ ($20%SiH_4$+80%He) of 50sccm, and $H_2$ of 100sccm.

A nonisolated two-phase bidirectional dc-dc converter (NTPBDC) is a very attractive solution for the battery energy storage system (BESS) applications due to the high voltage conversion ratio and the reduced conduction loss of the switching devices. However, a hard-switching based NTPBDC decreases the overall voltage conversion efficiency. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes a novel NTPBDC with zero-voltage-transition (NTPBDC -ZVT). The soft-switching for the boost and buck main switches is achieved by using a resonant cell, which consists of a single resonant inductor and four auxiliary switches. Furthermore, due to the single resonant inductor, the proposed NTPBDC-ZVT has the advantages of simple implementation, reduced size, and low cost. The validity of the proposed NTPBDC-ZVT is verified through experimental results.

Dynamic behavior of immiscible gas bubble attached to the wall in channel flow plays very important role in many engineering applications. Special attention has been paid to micro direct methanol fuel cell(${\mu}$DMFC) where surface tension becomes dominant factor with minor gravitational effect due to its reduced size. Therefore, displacement of $CO_2$ bubble generating on a cathode side in ${\mu}$DMFC can be very difficult and efficient removal of $CO_2$ bubbles will affect the overall machine performance considerably. We have focused our efforts on studying the dynamic behavior of immiscible bubble attached to the one side of the wall on 2D rectangular channel subject to external shear flow. We used Level Contour Reconstruction Method(LCRM) which is the simplified version of front tracking method to track the bubble interface motion. Effects of Reynolds number, Weber number, advancing/receding contact angle and property ratio on bubble detachment characteristic has been numerically identified.

Ultrastructural and anatomical features of the leaf were studied in Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer(ginseng). The ginseng leaf poorly developed palisade tissue and the size of mesophyll cell was larger and the chloroplast density was lower than that of Glycine max (soyben). Ginseng chloroplast was filled with highly stacked grana and condensely-arrayed thylakoid, so the stroma space was hardly absorbed. However, ginseng mesophyll tissue and chloroplast array did not reduce light energy entering the mesophyll chloroplast, and the high LHCP/CP ratio of ginseng thylakoid resulted in the absorption of excess photon. It is reasonable to assume that 1O1-photogenearation by excess light energy partially resulted from the anatomical and ultrastructural characteristics of the ginseng leaf.

Carbon/silicon composites were synthesized by mixing silicon powders with petroleum pitch and subsequent heat-treatment. The resultant composites were composed of carbon and nano-size crystalline silicon identified by XRD and EDX. FIB images and SEM images were taken respectively to detect the existence of silicon impregnated in carbon and the distribution of silicon on the carbon surface. The obtained carbon/silicon materials were assembled as half cell anodes for lithium ion secondary battery and their electrochemical properties were tested. The pitch/silicon composite (3 : 1 wt. ratio) heat treated at $1000^{\circ}C$ and mixed with 55.5 wt.% of graphite showed relatively good electrochemical properties such as the initial efficiency of 78%, the initial discharge capacity of 605 mAh/g, and the discharge capacity of 500 mAh/g after 20 cycles.

We have investigated the output characteristics and optimal conditions of a multi-stage amplifier system of Rhodamine 6G dye laser. The parameters in this simulation work were the beam diameter of the dye laser oscillator, the size of dye cell, the dye concentration, the number of stages in the amplifier system, and the pumping energy ratio of each amplifier at given pump energy. As a result, the output energy 10 mJ and the conversion efficiency of 40% in the two stage amplifier system were obtained with the pumping energy of 25mJ and the oscillator energy of 0.01 mJ.

This paper introduces a dynamic location management with hierarchical location area, which helps in reducing location update(LU) and paging cost and hence total location management cost. Users are assigned to appropriate location area level utilizing the call-to-mobility ratio(CMR) value. CMR values are calculated each time a user enters a new cell by computing its mobility rate and incoming call rate, which are the two key factors for defining the size of the location area.
