To determine the static buckling loads and evaluate the structural performance of slender steel pipe-arches such as for greenhouse structures, a series of modal tests using a fixed hammer and roving sensors was carried out, by providing no load, then a range of vertical loads, on an arch rib in several steps. More attention was given to an internal arch where vertical and horizontal auxiliary members are not placed, unlike an end arch. Modal parameters such as natural frequencies, mode shapes and damping ratios were extracted using more advanced system identification methods such as PolyMAX (Polyreference Least-Squares Complex Frequency Domain), and compared with those predicted by commercial FEA (Finite Element Analysis) software ANSYS for various conditions. A good correlation between them was achieved in an overall sense, however the reduction of natural frequencies due to the existence of preaxial loads was not apparent when the vertical load level was about up to 38% of its resistance. Some difficulties related to the field testing and parameter extraction for a very slender arch, as might arise from the influences of neighboring members, are carefully discussed.

Temperature dependences of the unloaded Ｑ(Ｑ$_{0}$) and the resonant frequency ( $f_{0}$) of YB $a_2$C $u_3$ $O_{7-{\delta}}$ (YBCO) microstrip ring resonators and rutile-loaded cylindrical cavity resonators were measured at low temperatures. Dc magnetron-sputtered YBCO films grown on Ce $O_2$-buffered r-cut sapphire (CbS) substrates were used fur this purpose. The surface resistances ( $R_{s}$) of YBCO films measured by both a microstrip ring resonator and a TE $01\delta$/ mode rutile-loaded cylindrical cavity resonator are compared with each other. It turned out that the values of $R_{s}$ measured by the microstrip resonator technique are comparable to those by the rutile-loaded resonator technique at temperatures lower than ~50 K. However, above 50 K, the $R_{s}$ measured by the microstrip resonator technique appeared higher according to the temperature. Our results show that the current crowding effects near the edge of a microstrip resonator become more significant at temperatures near the critical temperature.emperature.e.e.e.e.e.e.

Owing to the recent increase in the frequency of explosion accidents, blast resistive design has garnered attention to reduce the damage of important structural elements. However, domestic research on the blast resistive structures is still insufficient, and domestic design guideline against blast loads are not documented yet. In this study, a numerical study on the RC blast resistive walls, where the test variable was the presence of FRP sheet, was performed using LS-DYNA program. Based on the numerical results, displacement-time hysteretic curve, pressure-impulse diagram, and fragility curve of the test specimens were derived. It was shown that the FRP sheet strengthening method is efficient to improve the blast resistive performance of the RC wall. Also, the strengthening effect of FRP sheet on the RC wall was stronger when the magnitude of the blast load was greater.

In the existing ICT technique, the mounted electronic devices on the printed circuit board are tested whether the devices are good or not by comparing and measuring the value of the devices after separating the devices to be tested from around it based on the guarding method. But, in case that resistance, inductor and capacitor are configured as a parallel circuit on the circuit pattern, values for each device can not be measured because the total impedance value of the parallel circuit is measured. Accordingly, it is impossible to test whether the parallel circuit is good or not in case that the measured impedance value is within the tolerance error. Also, it is difficult to identify that which device among R, L and C of the parallel circuit is bad in case that the measured impedance value is out of the tolerance error. Accordingly, this paper proposes a test method which can enhance the quality and productivity by separating and measuring accurately R, L and C components from the RLC parallel circuits on the device-mounted printed circuit board. First, the RLC parallel circuit to be test is separated electrically from around it using three-terminal guarding technique. And then R, L and C values are computed based on the total impedance values and phase angles between voltage and current of the parallel circuit measured from two AC input signals with other frequency, Finally, the availability and accuracy of the proposed test method is verified by reviewing the simulation results.

S. diastaticus hydrolysised $\alpha$-1.4 linkage of the starch and was known fermenting yeast strain, but poorly hydrolized $\alpha$-1.6 linkage of the starch. To improve the starch fermentation ability of yeast, we tried that protoplast fusion between S. diastaticus and C. tropicalis and finally two starins of fusant (FPDC42, FPDC43) were obtained. C. tropicalis well hydrolysis both $\alpha$-1.4 and $\alpha$-1.6 linkanges in the starch. The protoplast of parental auxotrophic cells were fused in the presence of 10mM CaCl$_2$ and 35% of polyethylene glycol (M. W. 4,000). The fusion frequency was 10$^{-5}$ to 10$^{-6}$. Properties of the fusants(genetic stability, assimilation of carbon sources, random spore formation, copper resistance, NaCl tolerance, DNA content, cell size and growth rate) were investigated.

Poly pyrrole polymer(ppy) has an excellent electrical conductivity and can be easily polymerized on anode to give various morophology according to doped anion on electroactive sites. To improve the properties of brittleness, ageing and hydrophobisity, poly furan polymer(pfu) having a high initiation potential was anodically implanted in this porous ppy film matrix to get the Pt/ppy/pfu(x)type of polymer composite electrode. Cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance methods were used to these electrode, where $PF_6^-,\; BF_4^-$, and $ClO_4^-$ ions were employed as dopants. The composition of the pfu(x) at the electrode was changed from 0 to 1.10, but the range was useful only at 0.1 to 0.2 as the redox electrode. The polymer composite electrode doped with $PF_6^-$ was better in charge transfer resistance by a factor of 40 times and in double layer capacitance by a factor of 20 times than others. The charge transfer in the polymer film of the electrode was influenced on frequency change and equivalent circuit of this electrode had Warburg impedance including mass transfer.

This paper proposes a new predistortion linearizer to compensate for AM/AM and AM/PM in the nonlinear characteristics of amplifier. This consists of common-emitter amplifier and schottky diode that is connected between emitter and ground. When effective resistance of the schottky diode with bias condition varies, common-emitter amplifier with series feedback has a increase of amplitude and expansion of phase. This makes a amplifier nonlinear characteristics are to be improved. The proposed linearizer and amplifier has been manufactured and tested to operate in cellular base station frequency (869~894MHz). The test results show that third order intermodulation distortion (IMD3) cab be removed by more than 10.4dB in case of CW 2-tone signals ${\Delta}f$=1MHz, and the adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) also can be improved by more than 9.6dB for CDMA IS-95 1FA signals.
