In the past, a number of approaches, such as analytical, numerical or experimental methods, have been developed to deal with the soil-structure interaction effects. However, for many problems with complex geometry and material discontinuity most of approaches are nearly unpractical since it is difficult to model structures and complicated soil profiles precisely. This paper presents a soil-structure interaction analysis approach, which carl consider precisely characteristics of structures and complicated soil profiles. The presented approach overcomes the difficulties by adopting an unaligned mesh generation approach. From numerical examples, the applicability of the proposed approach is validated and dynamic responses of soil-structure systems subjected to earthquake loading are investigated considering characteristics of structures and complicated soil profiles.

A calculation method for predicting the instantaneous torques by the inductance profiles of a switched reluctance motor (SRM) is presented. The method considers saturation and nonlinearities in the magnetic circuits. The inductance of SRM varies complex according to the input current waveforms and rotor position angle, thus the accurate calculation technique is needed to estimate the inductance value at arbitary input current and rotor position angle. This paper describes how the inductance profiles influence the torque produced by the input current of SRM and, proposes a calculation technique of the permeabilities, reluctances, current waveforms and torques of a 6/4 3-phase SRM.

Valid evaluation of self-perceived health status is important for the promotion of individual health and quality of life, In advanced countries, many types of health profile have been developed, and currently, the SF-36, NHP, and EuroQol, etc, are widely used. However, the outcomes of these profiles may vary according to regional, cultural or emotional backgrounds. For these reasons a Korean Health Profile should be developed. In this study, we reviewed the concept of self-perceived health status, and its significance to public health, and reviewed some of the differences between the available profiles in 139 related publications. Based on this review, we are trying to develop a Korean Health Profile in order to measure the self-perceived health stati of Koreans.

Radiative transfer by nongray gas mixtures with nonuniform concentration and temperature profiles is studied by using the statistical narrow-band model and the ray-tracing method with the sufficiently accurate T$\_$60/ quadrature set. Transmittances through the nonhomogeneous gas mixtures are calculated by using the Curtis-Godson approximation. Three different cases with different temperature and concentration profiles are considered profiles are considered to obtain benchmark solutions for the radiative transfer by nongray gas mixtures. The solutions obtained from this study are verified and found to be very well matched with the previous solutions for uniform gas mixtures. The results presented in this paper can be used as benchmark solutions in developing various solution methods for radiative transfer by nongray gas mixtures.

A bacterial consortium capable of utilizing a variety of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons has been isolated from a former manufactured gas plant site. The consortium consisted of four members including Arthrobacter sp., Burkholderia sp., Ochrobacterium sp., and Alcaligenes sp., which were identified and characterized by the patterns of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME analysis) and carbon source utilization (BIOLOG system). With the individual members, the biodegradation characteristics of aromatic hydrocarbons depending on different growth substrates were determined. FAME analyses demonstrated that microbial fatty acid profiles changed to significant extents in response to different carbon sources, and hence, such shift profiles may be informative to characterize the biodegradation potential of a bacterium or microbial community.

Based on the development of designed technology for aluminum carbody. the prototype aluminum carbody has been constructed. All extrusion profiles required for the carbody has been produced and their quality has also been proven. For sound construction. welding technology to join aluminum extrusion profiles has been developed and jigs for precise assembly of blocks have been made. The aluminum carbody for urban subway train has been completed with the required chamber being set and the welding deformations being constrained by jigs. The safety of the carbody structure has also been proven by the static load test. And also, painting technology has been developed and the surface of the carbody has been pre-treated and painted. The developed technology to construct the aluminum carbody can be used in mass production of aluminum cars ordered by domestic and foreign customers.

The flow characteristics of developing turbulent pulsating flows are investigated experimentally in the entrance region of a square duct ($40mm{\times}40mm$ and 4,000mm). Mean velocity profiles, turbulence intensity and entrance length are measured by using a hot-wire anemometer system together with data acquisition and processing systems. It is found that the velocity waveforms are not changed in the fully developed flow region where that $x/Dh{\geq}40$. For turbulent pulsating flow, the turbulent components in the velocity waveforms increase as the dimensionless transverse position approaches the wall. Mean velocity profiles of the turbulent steady flows follow the one-seventh power law profile in the fully developed flow region. Turbulence intensity increases as the dimensionless transverse position increases from the center to the wall of the duct, and is slightly smaller in the accelerating phase than in the decelerating phase for the turbulent pulsating flows. The entrance length of the turbulent pulsating flow is about 40 times as large as the hydraulic diameter under the present experimental conditions.

We have analyzed a set of high resolution photographic line profiles of a Zeeman sensitive Fe I $\lambda$ 6302.5 line taken with the Universal Birefringent Filter over a single round sunspot (SPO 5007) at the Sacramento Peak Solar Observatory. The observed spectra recorded on films are traced by PDS and the traced densities are converted to relative intensity by means of IRAF. The Stokes I and V profiles are then constructed by adding together and subtracting from each other the left and right handed circular polarizations, respectively. The reduced I and V profiles are analyzed by means of the coarse analysis(Auer et al.(1977), Skumanich and Lites(1987)) with the use of inversion technique. It is found that the umbral field strength is about 3000 gauss and the field distribution follows closely the emperical model proposed by Wittmann(1974).

Doping effects and semiconductor behaviors of the dispersed p- and n-Si, p- and n- GaAs particles in the aqueous electrolyte have been studied using microelectrophoretic, voltammetric and chronoamperometric techniques. The cations (K$^{+}$) are adsorbed on both the p- and n- Si particle surfaces regardless of the sign of space charges in the depletion layers, i.e. doping profiles. The surface states are negatively charged acceptor states. On the other hand, the anions (CI$^{-}$) are adsorbed on both the p- and n- GaAs particle surfaces regardless of the sign of space charges in the depletion layers, i.e. doping profiles. The surface states are positively charged donor states. Under the same conditions, electrophoretic mobilities, electrochemical processes, doping effects and related semiconductor behaviors of the Si and the GaAs particles are similar regardless of the doping profiles, i. e. dopants and doping concentrations. The doping effects and related semiconductor behaviors of the dispersed p- and n- type semiconductor particles are gradually lost with decreasing dimensions.

The author has studied on the profiles on Korean young male and female by the cephalometric roentgenograms, the subjects were consisted of 104 persons with normal occlusion and the measurements were done on the soft and hard structures. The mean and standard deviations in the subjects were calculated and compared between male and female. The author has obtained the following results: 1. In the linear measurement, male was longer than female in most measuring points. 2. Compared with the angulation of soft tissue, there were no differences between both sexes. 3. In the skeletal patterns, there were some differences between male and female, but there was a similarity to the facial profile. 4. The individual variations on the cephalometric profiles on the subjects were recognized, especially, in the lower facial part.
