An n-type iron$silicide(Fe_{0.98}Co_{0.02}Si_2)$has been produced by mechanical alloying process and consolidated by vacuum hot pressing. Although as-milled powders after 120 hours of milling did not show an alloying progress,${\beta}-FeSi_2$phase transformation was induced by isothermal annealing at$830{\circ}C$for 1 hour, and the fully transformed${\beta}-FeSi_2$phase was obtained after 4 hours of annealing. Near fully dense specimen was obtained after vacuum hot pressing at$ 1100{\circ}C$with a stress of 60MPa. However, as-consolidated iron silicides were consisted of untransformed mixture of ${\Alpha}-Fe_2Si_5$and ${\varepsilon-FeSi$phases. Thus, isothermal annealing has been carried out to induce the transformation to a thermoelectric semiconducting${\beta}-FeSi_2$phase. The condition for${\beta}-FeSi_2$transformation was investigated by utilizing DTA, SEM, and XRD analysis. The phase transformation was shown to be taken place by a vacuum isothermal annealing at$830{\circ}C$and the transformation behaviour was investigated as a function of annealing time. The mechanical properties of${\beta}-FeSi_2$materials before and after isothermal annealing were characterized in this study.

In this paper, we propose a lunar landing scenario of a robotic lunar landing mission and implements an optimal landing trajectory at the powered descent phase based on the proposed scenario. The change of attitude of the lunar lander in the power descent phase affects not only the amount of fuel used but also sensor operation of image based navigation. Therefore, the attitude angular velocity is included in the cost function of the optimal control problem to minimize the unnecessary attitude change when the optimal landing trajectory generates at powered descent phase of the lunar landing. The influence of the change of attitude angular velocity on the optimal landing trajectory are analyzed by adjusting the weight of the attitude angular velocity. Based on the results, we suggest the proper weight to generate the optimal landing trajectory in order to minimize the influence of the attitude angular velocity.

PURPOSE: The progression of the center of pressure (COP) velocity of the stance phase may have important roles for predicting gait speed in older adults with cognitive decline. This study was conducted to identify the correlation between gait speed and the velocity of COP progression during the stance phase in older adults with cognitive decline. METHODS: Forty adults aged 65 years or older (twenty participants without cognitive decline, 20 participants with cognitive decline) were recruited. The COP progression velocity was measured using an F-scan pressure-sensitive insole system. The stance phase was divided into four sub-stages. (loading response, mid-stance, terminal stance, and pre-swing). Gait speed, double support phase, and cadence were also measured. Correlations and multiple regression analyses were performed. RESULTS: Gait speed was associated with the COP progression velocity in midstance (r = .719, p < .05), cadence (r = .719, p < .05) and the COP progression velocity in loading response velocity (r = .515, p < .05) in older adults with cognitive decline. However, no correlation was found in older adults without cognitive decline. In multiple regression analysis using gait speed as a dependent variable, the COP progression velocity in midstance and cadence were significant predictors of gait speed, with the COP progression velocity being the most significant predictor. CONCLUSION: The COP progression velocity is an important factor for predicting gait speed in older adults with cognitive decline, suggesting that the cognitive function influences gait speed and the velocity of COP progression.

The Primary purpose of this study is to investigate factors and variables which have significant effects on user satisfaction with recreational facilities in Taejong-Dae recreational complex, thereby establishing indices of planning and development of urban parks and open space. To test the causal models of this research, the date were gathered by self-administered questionnaires from 967 households in Pusan City which were selected by the multi-stage probability sampling methood. The analysis of the multi-stage primarily consists of two phase : The first analysis dealt exploratory factor analysis which identified major factors involved in satisfaction with recreational activities and facilities in Taejong-Dae recreational complex and the second analysis tested the fit of the causal models of this research by employing LISREL methodology. There are three advantages of using LISREL over other multivariate analysis methods : First, measurement error is allowed and calculated in LISREL, otherwise there is a risk of seriously misleading estimates of coefficients ; Second, LISREL deals with latent variables or unmeasured variables ; Third, it enables to test causal relations among variables. The factors analysis identified that five factors are involved in satisfaction with recreational facilities. The five factors of satisfaction with recreational facilities are space for repose and relaxation, active recreation facilities such as pool and zoo, physical exercise facility, convenience and maintenance facility, and linear facility, and linear facility for walking. The second phase analysis tested the fit of the causal models for satisfaction with recreational facilities to the data and identified statistically significant causal linkage among overall satisfaction with Taejong-Dae recreational complex, other endogenous factors and exogenous variables. Overall fits of both causal models were very good. Among endogenous factors, facility for repose and relaxation. linear facility for walking, active recreation facility, facility for convenience and maintenance were identified as having significant effects on overall satisfaction. Exogenous variables which have significant effects on endogenous variables wer also identified. These significant relationships indicate important factors and variables that should be considered in planning and development of the recreational complex. On the basis of these significant causal relationships, implications for planning and the delovepment of Taejong-Dae recreational complex were suggested.

In this paper, we propose a Fresnel transform method using various wavelet functions to efficiently decompose digital holograms. After implementing the proposed wavelet function-based Fresnelet transforms, we apply it to the digital hologram and analyze the energy characteristics of the coefficients. The implemented wavelet transform-based Fresnelet transform is well suited for reconstructing and processing holograms which are optically obtained or generated by computer-generated hologram technique. After analyzing the characteristics of the spline function, we discuss wavelet multiresolution analysis method based on it. Through this process, we proposed a transform tool that can effectively decompose fringe patterns generated by optical interference phenomena. We implement Fresnelet transform based on wavelet function with various decomposition properties and show the results of decomposing fringe pattern using it. The results show that the energy distribution of the coefficients is significantly different depending on whether the random phase is included or not.

To evaluate the combustion instability of a gas turbine combustor, the DMD technique was applied. The mode frequency results for each fuel composition were compared with FFT(Fast Fourier Transform) results. The damping coefficient, which is a quantitative parameter for combustion instability, was evaluated for 5 experimental cases. The flame transfer function (FTF) was calculated in the most unstable test case. In deriving the FTF, gain and phase were calculated using DMD technique. As a result of the analysis of the OH radical perturbation of the DMD, the heat release fluctuation was the highest at 100 Hz, at which the highest value of gain is observed. The frequency of FFT and FTF were different. In order to clarify the reason for this, FTF for various resonance frequencies was performed and it shows that the pattern of gain was similar to FFT.

UPFC(Unified Power Flow Controller) consists of two voltage sourced converter(VSC)s inserted into AC system through series and parallel coupling transformer, where two VSCs are linked by capacitor at DC-side. Since VSC acts as an AC voltage source behind a reactance, where both magnitude and phase angle of the source are controllable, UPFC can be represented by the equation related to input-output relation of two VSCs. Voltage control of DC-link capacitor provides the path of real power flow between two VSCs. While UPFC is controlled for maintaining the given reference value in steady state, it should be controlled for damping power oscillation in dynamics. For such a control objective, the control strategy based on the energy function was proposed and has been shown to be effect and robust for damping power oscillation of power system. In this paper, UPFC model based on the VSC was analysed and applied to power-flow control and stability analysis. The control strategy based on the energy function is adopted for damping power oscillation of power system. The effectiveness of proposed control strategy was verified by simulation study

Exceeding the speed limit during vehicle driving is a key factor in the severity of lots of road accidents, and SLIF(Speed Limit Information Function) application is in the initial phase in Korea. SLIF helps the drivers to observe a speed limit when they are driving by providing alert and informing the current limit speed information based on external data using camera and/or digital map, for that reason, environmental conditions could be causes of SLIF malfunctions. In this study, design adequacy analysis of SLIF in respect of false recognition as the Korea traffic environment has been performed. As tentative results, road conditions and structure of speed limit sign as well as system performance often caused misrecognition.

Recently, we have been continued effort that chaotic theory apply into love model which is an area of social science. To make the chaotic behaviors in the differential equation that represent as Romeo and Juliet, we apply an external force to the differential equation. However, this external force have disadvantage that cannot exactly represent for emotion of human. In this paper, to solve these advantage, we introduce triangular fuzzy membership function to provide the external force that can describe most similar status for action and word of human in the love model of Romeo and Juliet. Also, to confirm the chaotic behaviors in the love model of Romeo and Juliet with proposed fuzzy membership function, we use time series and phase plane.

Calcium Silicate Hydrate (C-S-H), which takes up most of the hydration products of Portland Cement (PC), has the greatest impact on the mechanical behavior and strength development of concrete. The exact mechanism of its deformation, however, has not yet been elucidated. The present study aims to demonstrate the mechanism of nano-deformation behavior of C-S-H in tricalcium silicate paste under compressive loading, unloading and reloading by interpreting atomic pair distribution function (PDF) based on synchrotron X-ray scattering. The strain of the tricalcium silicate paste for a short-range of 0 ~ 20 Å under compressive load exhibited two stages, I) nano-packing of interlayer of C-S-H and II) micro-packing of C-S-H globules, whereas the deformation for a long-range order of 20 ~ 40 Å was similar to that of a calcium hydroxide phase measured by Bragg peak shift. Moreover, the residual strains due to the plastic deformation of C-S-H was clearly observed.
