Track geometry changes by traffic loads. The bigger the changes are, the worse the riding comfort and running stability of train. This is so-called track irregularity and is the most important quality parameters of ballasted track. To objectively assess track irregularity, track geometry should be able to be measured. Practically, railway companies use moving chord method, which determine versine values via a chord. The versine is the vertical distance to curve measured in the middle of the chord. This type of method measures only versine of track irregularity curve by transfer function from the characteristics of measuring device. In this report, review the characteristics of two types of measuring tools by comparing the measurements. The one is GRP-1000 system, optical surveying system with Total station and lazar prism trolley. This calculates track geometry by surveying absolute coordinates of two points each on both rail heads. The other is EM-120, measures versine with 10m of symmetrical chord length.

Pat Metheny debuted in 1976 and attracted the public beyond his genre in jazz by committing experimental and various music. His 50 albums have been recognized with musicality and artistry by winning 20 Grammy Awards and being awarded a Gold Disc 3 times. Therefore, his music cannot be expressed merely with the single word 'jazz'. In basic harmonics, there are distinct chords between major chord and minor chord. For example, Ionian Scale and Lydian Scale are used in major chord and Dorian Scale, Phrygian Scale, and Aeolian Scale are used in minor chord. It is also common to use m7b5 chord in Locrian Scale. However, after analyzing Pat Metheny's scale, he made Lick using Dorian Scale in major chord or using Lydian Scale in minor chord. In Dominant chord that can use various six scales, he often used Dorian Scale or Lydian Scale surprisingly. In some measures, he made Lick using Ionian Scale and Lydian Scale. In this case, since the whole atmosphere of that measure simultaneously expresses both the bright feeling of major and the lonely feeling of minor, it arouses a very special atmosphere. In addition, he brought 12-measure pattern and made Lick not using blues scale but often using Ionian Scale, Lydian Scale, and Mixo-Lydian Scale.

대부분의 화성학 교재의 첫머리에 소개되는 배음은 그것이 가진 음악적 가치를 간과하고 과학적 수치에 근거한 자연적 현상으로 다루어지는 경향이 있다. 따라서 본 논문을 통해 배음이 가진 음악적인 중요성을 메이저 스케일의 Diatonic Chord와 Chord Scale을 중심으로 재조명 하고자 한다.

An experimental study has been conducted to investigate the effects of circular damage hole on the characteristics of airfoil performance. The damage on a wing created from a hit by anti-air artillery was modeled as a circular hole. Force balance measurements and static pressure measurements on the wing surface were carried out for the cases of having damage holes of 10% chord size at quarter chord and/or half chord positions. All experiments were conducted at Reynolds number of $2.85\times10^5$ based on the chord length. The surface pressure data show big pressure alterations near the circular damage holes. This abnormal surface pressure distribution produces shear stress that could lead to the acceleration of the structural degradation of the wing around the circular damage hole. However, in spite of the existence of circular damage holes, the measured force data indicated the only a slight decrease in lift accompanied by increase in drag compared to the results of undamaged one. The influence of damage hole on the aerodynamic performance was increased as the location of damage moved to the leading edge. The effect on the control force was insignificant when the damaged size was not large.

In this paper, we introduce a method for automatically generating accompaniment music, according to user's input melody. The initial accompaniment chord is generated by analyzing user's input melody. Then next chords are generated continuously based on markov chain probability table in which transition probabilities of each chord are defined. The probability table is learned according to reinforcement learning mechanism using sample data of existing music. Also during playing accompaniment, the probability table is learned and refined using reward values obtained in each status to improve the behavior of playing the chord in real-time. The similarity between user's input melody and each chord is calculated using pitch class histogram. Using our method, accompaniment chords harmonized with user's melody can be generated automatically in real-time.

Two approximate calculation models for a cosmic radiation shielding in satellite are compared with detailed 3-dimensional calculation results. One is a sectoring method and the other is a chord-length distribution method. Shielding caltulation is performed for KITSAT-1 under the assumed environment at SAA (South Atlantic Anomaly) location with AP-8 radiation spectrum model. When both approximate models are applied, calculation error is expected compared with 3-D detailed geometry calculation because of straight knock-on assumption neglecting the deflection of incident proton. However, both approximate models showed good agreements with 3-dimensional detailed Monte Carlo calculation in two dose detector locations.

Flow rate measurement uncertainties of the ultrasonic flow meter are generally influenced by many different factors, such as Reynolds number, flow distortion, turbulence intensity, wall surface roughness, velocity integration method along the acoustic paths, and transducer installation method, etc. Of these influencing factors, one of the most important uncertainties comes from the velocity integration method. In the present study, a optimization weighting factor method for 5-chord, which is given by a function of the chord locations of acoustic paths, is employed to obtain the mean velocity in the flow through a pipe. The power law profile is assumed to model the axi-symmetric pipe flow and its results are compared with the present weighting factor concept. For an asymmetric pipe flow, the Salami flow model is applied to obtain the velocity profiles. These theoretical methods are also compared with the previous Gaussian, Chebyshev, and Tailor methods. The results obtained show that for the fully developed turbulent pipe flows with surface roughness effects, the present weighting factor method is much less sensitive than Chebyshev and Tailor methods, leading to a better reliability in flow rate measurement using the ultrasonic flow meters.

The current design equations for ultimate strength of tubular joints are based on a limited number of experimental results performed on simple joints with simple loading conditions and depend on value of the branch to the chord diameter- ratio $\beta$ too much. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to estimate the ultimate strength of CHS tilbular joints considering the effects of branch inclination angles $\theta$, chord length to diametel ratio $\alpha$ and chord end conditions by finite element analysis. The analyses are performed using finite element software ADINA that is capable of modeling elasto-plastic material behavior as well as geometric nonlinearities. The results show that the current use of sin $\theta$ in normalized design equations for inclined branches is reasonable, but somewhat conservative. When compared with the previous experimental database, the close numerical results are obtained from the parametric studies on the static strength of T-, Y-, DT- and X-joints. Also, a new design equation for ultimate stregth of CHS tubular joints is derived using a modified version of the ring model which can include the effects of $\alpha$ and chord end condtion.
