The fatigue test was carried out to evaluate the fatigue characteristics of the accelerated cooled (ACC) TMCP steel and its welded joint. From this study, it was confirmed that ACC TMCP steel has higher fatigue strength than conventional steels. After welding, however, the fatigue strength of ACC TMCP steel was deteriorated associated with HAZ softening when weld reinforcement was removed. On the other hand, with weld reinforcement, there is no effect of HAZ softening on the fatigue strength of welded joint because it is strongly dependant on the detail weld geometry i.e., stress concentration factor. Accordingly the fatigue strength of actual welded joint increases with decreasing the stress concentration factor of welded joint, regardless of HAZ softening.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the relations between publicness and profitability of national university hospitals in Korea. Finance and management data from 2008 to 2010 were collected from balancing accounts and annual reports in 13 national university hospitals. The dependant variables are used profitability indicators which are operating margin, net profit to gross revenues, normal profit to gross revenues. The independent variables are publicness indicators which are medical social work, ratio of medical aid in inpatients, ratio of medical aid in outpatients, publicness index. The results show that operating margin, net profit to gross revenues in profitability indicators are affected by medical social work in publicness indicators. Normal profit to gross revenues in profitability indicators is strong related to medical social work and hospital province in publicness indicators. Based on these results, this study suggests implications to balance the publicness and the profitability in national university hospitals.

Despite a number of advantages of reinforced earth walls over conventional concrete retaining walls, there exit concerns over long-term residual deformation when used as part of permanent structures. In view of these concerns, time-dependant deformation characteristics of geosynthetic reinforced modular block walls under sustained loads were investigated using reduced-scale model tests. The results indicated that a sustained load can yield appreciable magnitude of residual deformation, and that the magnitude of residual deformation depends on the loading characteristic as well as reinforcement stiffness.

During the financial crisis in the late 1990s, we witnessed the large corporations failing at one moment. It is clear that the debt-dependant size augmentation and duplicate investment, and the failure in fund liquidity adjustment were the greatest causes rather than the long-term strategic advantage. Such fact, however, has led to the introduction of advanced financial techniques and security/management of fund liquidity. In order to propose a method to secure fund liquidity at the construction level, this study considers the documentational/precedent studies on project financing among fund procurement methods. And the fund liquidity status at construction level is investigated domestically/internationally to analyze the fund flow. Finally, the actual data is used to analyze progress rate and sales rate to end with the proposal of the method to secure fund liquidity in the progression of this study.

Time dependent ozone generation characteristics of some oxide layers grown by ozone on the surface of corona discharge wires have been investigated experimentally in air ambience. Four wires of stainless steel, iron, silver and copper were used for the corona discharge wire of an ozone generator. And the effect of the metal oxide layers on ozone generation was studied and the contamination morphology of each layers was characterized. With the SEM images and the EDS spectra, it was found that all the surface of the corona wire were oxidized by the generated ozone and contaminated by airborne particles through the gradient force. As a result, the morphology and the electrical property of metal oxide layer grown on corona wire surface influenced on ozone generation characteristics i.e. discharge mechanisms.

The effect of an Ar plasma treatment on polycarbonate substrates was investigated using $TiO_2$ coatings produced by reactive ion-beam assisted sputtering. The typical pressure used during sputtering was about $10^{-4}$ Torr. After the Ar plasma treatment, the contact angle of a water droplet was reduced from $88^{\circ}$ to $52^{\circ}$ and then further decreased to $12^{\circ}$ with the addition of oxygen into the chamber. The surface of the polycarbonate substrate hanged from hydrophobic to hydrophilic with these treatments and revealed its changing nano-scale roughness. The $TiO_2$ films on the treated surface showed various colors and periodic ordering dependant on the film thickness due to optical interference.

Measuring the a-IGZO TFTs with various temperatures was found to induce a threshold voltage shift and a change of the subthreshold gate voltage swing. Characteristic change is dependant on a material of the substrate at the temperature from $20^{\circ}C$ to $100^{\circ}C$. The threshold voltage was shifted to the left from -2.7V to -61V on SiO2/galss. But, as the temperature increases form $20^{\circ}C$ to $100^{\circ}C$. the threshold voltage was shifted to the right from 0.85V to 2.45V.

Recently a standard software platform for automotive, AUTOSAR, has been developed to manage growing software complexity and improve software reuseability. However reuse of testing system and test data are difficult because they are dependant on implementation language and testing phases. In this paper, we suggest a automated testing approach for AUTOSAR software component using a standardized testing language, TTCN-3. AUTOSAR defines the AUTOSAR XML Schema for the data exchange format so that it is possible to automatically convert AUTOSAR model into TTCN-3 testing model. Therefore our approach is to present generation techniques for the TTCN-3 testing system from a AUTOSAR XML description. With the proposed testing techniques we can reduce time and effort to build the testing system and reuse testing environment.

This study aimed at measuring the latent heat of phase transformation of S45C carbon steel in quenching and at conducting the analytical researches into the calculation of cooling curves including the latent heat. The temperature of phase transformation of steel and its latent heat are dependant upon the cooling rates at the temperature of A1 phase transformation point. The effect of the latent heat of phase transformation is especially manifest at the cooling curve of center of specimens. The higher the cooling rates became, the lower fell the temperature region of phase transformation. In the figures of cooling rates, the phenomena of cooling rate dropping into zero was caused by the latent heat of phase transformation.
