This study examines the influence of curved, steel, I-girder bridge configuration on girder end reactions and cross frame member forces during seismic events. Simply-supported bridge finite element models were created and examined under seismic events mimicking what could be experienced in AASHTO Seismic Zone 2. Bridges were analyzed using practical ranges of: radius of curvature; girder and cross frame spacings; and lateral bracing configuration. Results from the study indicated that: (1) radius of curvature had the greatest influence on seismic response; (2) interior (lowest radius) girder reactions were heavily influenced by parameter variations and, in certain instances, uplift at their bearings could be a concern; (3) vertical excitation more heavily influenced bearing and cross frame seismic response; and (4) lateral bracing helped reduce seismic effects but using bracing along the entire span did not provide additional benefit over placing bracing only in bays adjacent to the supports.

In order to make the vertical-axis cross flow wind turbine commercially feasible, a guide vane is adopted and the effect of the guide vane shape is examined in order to improve the wind turbine performance. CFD analysis on the performance and internal flow of the turbine is carried out for the wind turbine model. The result shows that when the guide nozzle is installed, almost over two times of power coefficient are achieved in comparison with the case of no guide nozzle installation. The guide nozzle acts as a role of suppressing the flow resistance at the blade passage, which is found when the guide nozzle is installed. Moreover, in this study, two kinds of the guide vane with a straight type and a curved type are adopted and compared. The curved guide vane nozzle produces higher power coefficient in comparison with that of straight guide vane nozzle.

In this Paper, the Performance of the semi-anechoic chamber which is to be constructed by the cross-shaped ferrite absorbers with broadband frequency characteristics, has been evaluated by the image method. As a result it was confirmed that the cross-shaped absorber has excellent performance over the frequency range from 30 MHz to 3,000 MHz, while the tile and the gird-type ferrite absorbers have the bandwidth of 30 - 1,000 MHz.

This paper examines the persistent properties of 12 sectoral relative prices between Korea and Japan obtained following the Classification of Individual Consumption according to Purpose (COICOP) over the period of 1985-2016. Applying a new econometric method developed by Pesaran which controls for the cross-section dependence in a panel, we are not able to reject the hypothesis that the sectoral real exchange rates contain a common stochastic trend. On the other hand, the well-known panel unit root tests such as the IPS and LLC tests widely used by previous studies strongly reject the unit root hypothesis. Since the error term of the regression for our panel exhibits significant cross-section dependence, these opposite results justify that the use of the new econometric method is appropriate.

We measured the electron transport coefficients, the electron drift velocity W and the longitudinal diffusion coefficient $D_{L}$ in the 0.526% and 5.05% $C_{3}F_{8}$-Ar mixtures over the E/N range from 0.01 Td to 100 Td by the double shutter drift tube, and compared the measured results by Hunter et al. with those. We determined the inelastic collision cross sections for the $C_{3}F_{8}$ molecule by the comparison of the present measurements and the calculation of electron transport coefficients in the $C_{3}F_{8}$-Ar mixtures by using a multi-term Boltzmann equation analysis.

Roof racks have become a very popular feature of vehicles as the market demand for SUV's and RV's has increased drastically over the years. Aeolian tone from the cross bars however. could be a source of severe discomfort for the passengers. Both experimental and numerical steps are taken to enhance the understanding of the generation mechanism of the wind noise. A successful reduction of the noise is achieved by imposing asymmetry in the section geometry, which reduces the strength of Karmann vortices shed downstream.

The surface velocities were estimated by the Maximum Cross Correlation(MCC) method and an inverse method from AVHRR/SST. In the results of MCC, discontinuous flow fields were estimated in the case that cross correlation coefficient was above 0.5 but these flow pattern disappeared when cross correlation coefficient was above 0.9. This estimation was conspicuous near SST patterns of eddies. In the results of inverse method, flow field was continuous and eddy motion was estimated definitely but the velocity was overstimated in compared with MCC result over the area of small temperature gradient. This result may be due to temperature error included in SST calculated and spatial variation of heat flux.

Although significant progress has been made in synthesizing visually realistic face images by Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), there still lacks effective approaches to provide fine-grained control over the generation process for semantic facial attribute editing. In this work, we propose a novel cross channel self-attention based generative adversarial network (CCA-GAN), which weights the importance of multiple channels of features and archives pixel-level feature alignment and conversion, to reduce the impact on irrelevant attributes while editing the target attributes. Evaluation results show that CCA-GAN outperforms state-of-the-art models on the CelebA dataset, reducing Fréchet Inception Distance (FID) and Kernel Inception Distance (KID) by 15~28% and 25~100%, respectively. Furthermore, visualization of generated samples confirms the effect of disentanglement of the proposed model.

The performance of noncoherent fast frequency-hopped spread spectrum multiple access communication systems with square-law combining over fading channel is presented. The expression for the probalility of error as a performance measure is derived by means of momenting function of the dedecision variables, and the cross-covariance of the fading process the ambiguty function of the transmitted signals.

The entire nonlinear behavior of reinforced concrete frames up to collapse, is analyzed by the displacement control method and the combined layered and nonlayered method. All of the rigidities of section are calculated approximately by a sum over all the layers for the layered method, are used the integral values over the cross section area for the nonlayered method. The spurious sensitivity to the chosen element size in the result of analysis by finite element method for the materials with strain-softening can be overcome by modifying the strain distribution based on the concept of fracture energy at plastic hinge considering the applied axial load.
