In this work the implementation of a production-level port of the Microplane constitutive model for concrete into the EPIC code is described. The port follows guidelines outlined in the Material Model Module (MMM) standard used in EPIC to insure a seamless interface with the existing code. Certain features of the model were not implemented using the MMM interface due to compatibility reasons; for example, a separate module was developed to initialize, store and update internal state variables. Objective strain and deformation measures for use in the material model were also implemented into the code. Example calculations were performed and illustrate the veracity of this new implementation.

Using the Lagrangian explicit time-integration finite element code NET3D which can treat three-dimensional high-velocity impact problems, oblique penetration processes of long rod projectile with yaw against thin plate are simulated. Through the comparison of simulation result with experimental result and other code's computational result, the adaptability and accuracy of NET3D is evaluated under the complex situation in which yaw angle and oblique angle exist simultaneously. Main research contents to be handled in this paper include the followings. First, the accuracy and efficiency estimation of NET3D code result obtained from the oblique penetration simulations of long rod projectile with yaw against thin plate. Second, the effect of increasing impact velocity. Third, the effect of initial yaw for the spaced-plate target. Residual velocities, residual lengths, angular velocities, and final deformed configurations obtained from the NET3D computations are compared with the experimental results and other code's computational results such as Eulerian code MESA and Lagrangian code EPIC. As a result of comparisons, it has been found that NET3D code is superior to EPIC code and MESA code in the prediction capability of residual velocity and residual length of penetrator. The key features obtained from the experiment can be successfully reproduced through NET3D simulations. Throughout the study, the applicability and accuracy of NET3D as a metallic armor system design tool is verified.

Recently, many parallel processing technologies were developed, ILP(Instruction level Parallelism) processor's performance have been growed very rapidly. especially, EPIC(Explicitly Parallel Instruction computing) architectures attempt to enhance the performance in the predicated execution and speculative execution with the hardware. In this paper to improve the code scheduling possibility by applying to the characteristics of EPIC architectures, a new register allocation algorithm is proposed. And we proves that proposed register allocation algorithm is more efficient scheme than the conventional scheme when predicated execution is applied to our scheme by experiments. In experimental results, it shows much more performance enhancement, about 19% in proposed scheme than the conventional scheme. So, our scheme is verified that it is an effective register allocation method.

This paper is the author's personal experience and interpretation as a student whilst participating in Professor Kyung-Sook Shin's English Literature graduate course, "Literature and Technology II: Feminisms and Digital Humanities," during the 2019 spring semester at Yonsei University, South Korea. Exploring the intersections of literary feminist theory and digital humanities, this paper examines not only the content, but also the methodology and political effects of collaboratively digitally annotating Elizabeth Barrett Browning's epic novel/poem, Aurora Leigh (1856) through the medium, Google Docs. In particular, this paper observes the students' interaction with the digital tools and literature-related pedagogy in two main parts. First, the democratic political nature of classroom culture when creating a new language/code during annotation. Second, the coexistence of cyberspace and the physical classroom space and its effect on time, specifically in the archival of the past, influencing of the future, and the splitting into the present multiverse. From a student's perspective in digital literary annotation, this paper shows that technology could become a way to decolonize and reprogram education to be more inclusive and collaborative.

Penetration of a fragment-like projectile into Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC) was simulated using finite element (FE) and particle formulations. Extreme deformations and failure of the material during the penetration event were modeled with multiple approaches to evaluate how well each represented the actual physics of the penetration process and compared to experimental data. A Fragment Simulating Projectile(FSP) normally impacting a flat, square plate of FRC was modeled using two target thicknesses to examine the different levels of damage. The thinner plate was perforated by the FSP, while the thicker plate captured the FSP and only allowed penetration part way through the thickness. Full three dimensional simulations were performed, so the capability was present for non-symmetric FRC behavior and possible projectile rotation in all directions. These calculations assessed the ability of the finite element and particle formulations to calculate penetration response while assessing criteria necessary to perform the computations. The numerical code EPIC contains the element and particle formulations, as well as the explicit methodology and constitutive models, needed to perform these simulations.

The activity conducted throughout the life cycle of any facility generate an enormous quantity of data that needs to be stored, retrieved, communicated, and used by all parties involved. Advanced in technology have increased the opportunities for gathering, providing access to exchanging, and archiving all of this information for future reference. Considering that classification system of construction material is reviewed international exchange of information by the ISO standard, it is consist of classification form of construction process. As a result, this study analyzed to OmniClass Table-22(Master Format-20(4) for the purpose of gaining a the international standard and electronic information, and compared to OmniClass Table-23 ${\cdot}$ 35 ${\cdot}$ 41(UniClass, EPIC) for the expansion and standardization. Furthermore, it is tried to integrate with UN/SPSC attribute code for the establishing of application and international exchange.

The development of a new hardware structure which can implement the viterbi algorithm efficiently is required for applications such as a software radio because the viterbi algorithm, which is an error correction code function for the second and the third generation of mobile communication, needs a lot of arithmetic operations. The length of K in the viterbi algorithm different from each standard, for examples, K=7 in case of IS-95 standard and GSM standard, and K=9 in case of WCDMA and CDMA2000. In this paper, we propose a new hardware structure of an adaptive viterbi decoder which can decode the constraint length in K=3~9 and the data rate in 1/2 ~ 1/3. Prototyping results targeted to Altera Cyclon EPIC20F400C8, shows that the proposed hardware structure needs maximum 19,276 logic elements and power dissipation of 222.6 mW.
