This paper studies two sequential procedures to estimate a monotone convex function using $L_2$ monotonization and uniform convexification; one, denoted by FMSC, monotonizes the data first and then, convexifis the monotone estimate; the other, denoted by FCSM, first convexifies the data and then monotonizes the convex estimate. We show that two shape modifiers are not commutable and so does FMSC and FCSM. We compare them numerically in uniform error(UE) and integrated mean squared error(IMSE). The results show that FMSC has smaller uniform error(UE) and integrated mean squared error(IMSE) than those of FCSC.

Design sensitivity analysis is proposed for the optimal shape design of three dimensional magnetostatic problems. The direct differentiation method is introduced for design sensitivity analysis and the boundary element method with reduced magnetic scalar potential as the state variable is used to analyze the magnetic characteristics. In the direct differentiation method, the design sensitivity, defined as the total derivative of the objective function with respect to the design variables, is calculated based on the variation of the state variable with respect to the design variable. And the variation of He state variable is calculated by differentiating the both sides of the system matrix equation obtained by applying boundary element method. Through the numerical example with simple electromagnet, the usefullness is proved.

Hydraulic efficiency($T_{10}/T$) in clearwell is often estimated by L/W ratio. However, this estimation is not accurate because other factors which give an effect on hydraulic efficiency such as shape of basin, diffuser wall and intra-basin is ignored. Therefore, in this research, hydraulic efficiency is predicted by the quantitative analysis of dead zone using CFD simulation in a pilot scale clearwell. The results show that the reason why higher L/W ratio increase the hydraulic efficiency is to decrease the dead zone of linear region which is located between baffles. Diffuser wall or intra-basin also affects on hydraulic efficiency with this process. Also, we conclude that hydraulic efficiency can not be reached to 0.8 or higher.

When a commercial prealloyed Fe-powder(Fe-5Cr-lMo-2Cu-0.5P-3C) is liquid phase sintered at 116$0^{\circ}C$, liquid precipitates with various shapes form within solid grains during the initial stage of sintering. The shape of a liquid precipitate changes pith the increment of their size from sphere(with radius<0.3$\mu\textrm{m}$), a transient polyhedron with more than 7 faces(1~2 $\mu\textrm{m}$), cuboid(3~5 $\mu\textrm{m}$), and finally to sphere(>5 $\mu\textrm{m}$). The shapes of liquid precipitates closely resemble the growth shapes predicted on the basis of solid-liquid interfacial energy and the coherency strain energy with anisotropic elastic constants in the diffusion zone around the precipitates.

The purpose of this study was to search out an relativeness to the apartment housing unit plans and the unit plans of rural houses. Unit plans data were collected from housing registration records or field survey methods. 45 rural plans and 53 apartment plans were analyzed. The results were as follows; First, the floor planning characteristics of rural houses were 'ㅋ'type of floor plan shape, 2.5 or 3 bay arrangement, L-DK type of social space, and the front entrance. Second, the floor planning characteristics of apartment houses were '-'type of floor plan shape, 2 bay arrangement, L...DK type of social space, and the side or rear entrance. Third, 3 bay arrangement method of rural houses effected to apartment houses, and L...DK type of apartment houses effected to rural houses. Utility or balcony spaces of rural houses was inversely effected from apartment houses.

In this study a nondimensional parameter, feed/land length(F/L) was introduced, and using this parameter, cutting performance and chip breaking characteristics of the groove and the land angle type chip formers were assessed. Specific cutting energy consumed and shape of broken chip with its breaking cycle time were appraised to find out the ranges of F/L value where efficient cutting and effective chip breaking could be achieved. C type chip was found out to be the most preferable in terms of cutting efficiency.

Camshaft engines designed for constant engine loads have been applied to existing marine diesel engines. However, due to environmental regulations, electro-hydraulic servo mechanisms, which have a loaddependent cylinder liner jacket water cooling system (LDCL-JWCS), have been recently developed to individually control the temperature of the cylinders depending on the engine load. In this system, the 3-way valve, which prevents low temperature corrosion by reducing the temperature difference between the upper and lower parts of the cylinder, has been employed, but the outlet mass flow of the existing valve is low. In this study, the design of the internal shape of the 3-way valve was performed by analyzing the effects of the design parameters of the valve shape on the performance (i.e., the outlet mass flow rate and temperature). The proposed model was verified by comparing its performance to that of existing marine diesel engine valves.

In order to operate a search and rescue robot in hazardous area, the robot requires high mobility and adaptable locomotion for moving in unpredictable environments. In this paper, we propose the deformable soft wheel robot that can produce three kinds of driving modes; caterpillar driving mode, normal wheel driving mode, legged-wheel driving mode. The robot changes its driving mode as it faces the various obstacles such as a small gap, stairs etc. Soft film and composite materials are used for fabrication of deformable wheel structure and Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) coil spring actuators are attached on the structure as an artificial muscle. Film lamination and an composite manufacturing process is introduced and the robot design is required to be modified and compromised to applying the manufacturing process. The prototype is developed and tested for verifying feasibility of the deformable wheel locomotion.

This paper analyzed the effects related to the difference of the geometrical shape of the ground excavation by comparing the displacements of the earth retaining wall of the strut resulting from the change of the excavation breadth B and the excavation length L, adopting the three dimensional FDM analysis. It appeared that the displacement of the earth retaining wall of the strut increases in accordance with the increase of L/B and it decreases as it becomes nearer from the center to the comer where the temporary structural system forms, and the wale member is closured because of the effects of the confining effect by the closure of the earth retaining wall and the wale member. This paper proposed a formula in which the results of three dimensional FDM analysis which considers the shape of the excavation plane can be obtained from those of two dimentional FDM analysis which does not consider the shape of the excavation plane. And the results of the formula were compared with those of the site instrumentation analysis.

Absorption pattern of potassium, calcium, phosphate and nitrate ions, and the pH change during ion-absorption at pH 3.0-11.0 by Oryza sativa L. were studied to investigate indirectly the evidence of H^+-efflux by ATPase. The rice seedlings which were grown either in $L^{\circ} -dark or in L^+-sunlight$, were used both in each ion-absorption to compare with one another. The uptake rate of these ions appeared to favor more in $L^+than in L^{\circ}$, over all range in pH, nearly with the same pattern. The absorption of potassium resulted in bell shape and that of calcium increased linearly to the alkali range. The shape of phosphate-absorption showed nearly the t-distribution curve with high value in acid range and the uptake of nitrate resulted in the dual peaks, but higher in acid range. The pH of the external solution changed from the range of 3.5-11.0 to 3.5-7.0 after lhr-absorptioin, and further acidified after 3hr-absorption. It is suggested that the pH change of the external solution be affected by $ H^+-efflux$ which may be caused by the ATP-hydrolysis.
