We present novel methods to generate a sequence of shapes that represents the pattern of morphological development or transformation of Bezier curves. The presented methods utilize the intrinsic geometric structures of a Bezier curve that are derived from rib and fan decomposition (RFD). Morphological development based on RFD shows a characteristic pattern of structural growth of a Bezier curve, which is the direct consequence of development path defined by fans. Morphological transformation based RFD utilizes development patterns of source and target curves to mimic the theory of evolutionary developmental biology: although the source and target curves are quite different in shapes, we can easily find similarities in their younger shapes, which makes it easier to set up feature correspondences for blending them. We also show that further controls on base transformation for intensity of feature blending, and extrapolation can compensate the immaturity of blended curves. We demonstrate the experimental results where transformation patterns are smoother and have unique geometric style that cannot be generated using conventional methods based on multi-linear blending.

It is well known that the area U of the triangle formed by three tangents to a parabola X is half of the area T of the triangle formed by joining their points of contact. Recently, it was proved that this property is a characteristic one of parabolas. That is, among strictly locally convex $C^{(3)}$ curves in the plane $\mathbb{R}^2$ parabolas are the only ones satisfying the above area property. In this article, we study strictly locally convex curves in the plane $\mathbb{R}^2$. As a result, generalizing the above mentioned characterization theorem for parabolas we present some conditions which are necessary and sufficient for a strictly locally convex $C^{(3)}$ curve in the plane to be an open part of a parabola.

The cam curve of a balance type vane pump consists usually of circular arcs and Archimedes' spirals. However, if they are connected directly together, the curve must have a few discontinuous points of the gradients and the motion of the vanes is no longer smooth. Designing data for an oil hydraulic vane pump used in power steering system were obtained by the acquisition of optimum cam profile data which can be available to reduce noises and vibrations through the minimization of cavitation with the improvement of suctional performance. The performance test is carried on the trial manufactures by measuring the volumetric and the mechanical efficiency. And from that result, maintaining the same characteristic as the conventional one in the relief pressure and noise level, the experimental pump discharges 0.7 $\ell$/min and shows nearly 3.5% enhancement in the total efficiency more than the conventional one.

A model study was conducted for the investigation of apparent resistivity variation along with electric resistivity variation of host rock and dip variation of bed. Experiments were carried out for the cases of horizontal and dipping beds in a water tank by using Wenner and Schlumberger arrays and by changing salinity of water. The ratios of resistivity values of the bed to that of brine were 1 : 10, 1 : 50, 1 : 100 and 1 : 500. Natural coally-shale of $55cm{\times}35cm{\times}3.5cm$ was used as a bed for experimental model, and brine as a host rock. Equi-resistivity curves and characteristic curves were obtained for each case of the experiment. The equi-resistivity curve was drawn both on the cross section parallel to strike of bed and longitudinal section perpendicular to it. The characteristic curve was drawn on the cross section. In the case of dipping bed of different dips, the curves are parallel to the boundary of the bed in the upper part of the bed, and are inclined to the opposite direction with the same angle of the dip of bed in the lower part. We can deduce, from the equi-resistivity curves, the location, shape and dip of the bed. It is shown in the characteristic curves that when the ratio of resistivity value of bed to that of host rock increases, the slope of curves becomes steeper, location of low-resistivity zone lower, and the width of it narrower. The slope of curves also becomes steeper when dip of bed increases. We can deduce, from the characteristic curves, the ratio of resistivity values between adjacent beds. It was found out from the experiments that electric resistivity method could be applicable to prospecting for underground geology with an electric resistivity contrast of 1 : 10. This fact strongly suggests that distinction of coal from coally-shale could be possible in a certain field condition.

ETFE 막재는 Ethylene Tetra Fluoro Ethylene의 약자로 색깔이 없고, 투명한 필름 막이다. ETFE 필름의 장점은 내화학성이 있고, 잘 접히지 않으며, 매우 가볍운 재료라는 것이다. 필름의 두께는 50마이크로 미터에서 300 마이크로 미터 두께가 주로 사용되고, 직포가 없어며 햇빛 투과율이 우수하고 재료의 강도는 다른 막재에 비해서 낮다. ETFE 막재의 인장강도는 40MPa에서 60MPa 정도이고, 인장 변형도는 약 200%에서 400% 정도이다. 본 논문에서는 ETFE 필름 막재의 역학적특성 시험을 수행하였다. 인장 시험으로 부터 인장 변형도, 인장 강도, 응력 변형도 곡선을 구하였고, ETFE 막재의 항복 강도를 결정하여 탄성계수를 구하였다. 그리고 온도하중에 의한 응력-변형도 특성과 반복하중에 대한 필름의 역학적 특성을 분석하였다.

불포화토양내 물의 흐름과 유기오염물질의 이동현상을 예측하기 위해서는 불포화토양의 토양수분곡선을 구하는 것이 필수적이다. 입자크기분포로부터 토양수분곡선을 직접 구하는 물리경험적 방법이 많은 연구자들에 의해 제안되고 적용되어왔다. 이 방법은 공극크기분포가 직접적으로 입자크기분포와 상호 연관되어있다는 개념을 이용한 것으로, 입자크기분포곡선을 산정하는 방법이 토양수분곡선추정에 영향을 미칠 수 있다는 것을 의미한다. 본 연구에서는 Arya-Paris 모형을 이용한 토양수분곡선 추정이 어떠한 입자크기분포모형을 선택하는가에 따라 영향을 받는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 1∼4의 추정변수를 갖는 4개의 입자분포곡선 모형을 사용한 결과 단지 1개의 추정변수를 갖는 Jaky모형이 더 많은 추정변수를 가진 모형보다 토양수분곡선을 잘 예측하였다. Jaky모형의 우월한 예측력은 아마도 현장토양이 가지는 구조적 특성 때문인 것으로 사료된다.

Purpose: Airway pathology in children with atopic asthma can be reflected by the concave shape of the maximal expiratory flow-volume (MEFV) curve and high fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) values. We evaluated the capacity of the curvilinearity of the MEFV curve, FeNO, and their combination to distinguish subjects with atopic asthma from healthy individuals. Methods: FeNO and angle ${\beta}$, which characterizes the general configuration of the MEFV curve, were determined in 119 steroid-naïve individuals with atopic asthma aged 8 to 16 years, and in 92 age-matched healthy controls. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were performed to determine the cutoff points of FeNO and angle ${\beta}$ that provided the best combination of sensitivity and specificity for asthma detection. Results: Asthmatic patients had a significantly smaller angle ${\beta}$ and higher FeNO compared with healthy controls (both, P<0.001). For asthma detection, the best cutoff values of angle ${\beta}$ and FeNO were observed at $189.3^{\circ}$ and 22 parts per billion, respectively. The area under the ROC curve for the combination of angle ${\beta}$ and FeNO improved to 0.91 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.87-0.95) from 0.80 (95% CI, 0.75-0.86; P<0.001) for angle ${\beta}$ alone and 0.86 (95% CI, 0.82-0.91; P=0.002) for FeNO alone. In addition, the combination enhanced sensitivity with no significant decrease in specificity. Conclusion: These data suggest that the combined use of the curvilinearity of the MEFV curve and FeNO is a useful tool to differentiate between children with and without atopic asthma.

As the evaluation of loading characteristic on tilting mechanism is the most important one of the function test of tilting mechanism, the changing characteristic of load must be investigated on tilting of carbody for both the static and running condition of train. In this study, we reduced the load of tilting mechanism by adjusting the interface of carbody and bogie such as the weight balance, level of underframe, height of leveling valve, height of axle box and center position of tilting actuator with the characteristic curve of load for optimal condition of the tilting mechanism obtained in the previous study. Furthermore, the factor and effect of the interfacial structures respecting the load of tilting mechanism was evaluated by analyzing the changing characteristic of load obtained in the process of adjustment of interfaces. From these data, we will propose the maintenance standards for interfacial structures and tilting mechanism in order to minimize the load of tilting mechanism by analyzing in detail the characteristic of load for the main factors of the interfacial structure effecting on the load of tilting mechanism.
