The operation time of an encoder is one of the critical implementation issues for satisfying the timing requirements of Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems because the encoder is based on binary operations. In this paper, we propose a design and implementation of a latency efficient encoder for LTE systems. By virtue of 8-bit parallel processing of the cyclic redundancy checking attachment, code block (CB) segmentation, and a parallel processor, we are able to construct engines for turbo codings and rate matchings of each CB in a parallel fashion. Experimental results illustrate that although the total area and clock period of the proposed scheme are 19% and 6% larger than those of a conventional method based on a serial scheme, respectively, our parallel structure decreases the latency by about 32% to 65% compared with a serial structure. In particular, our approach is more latency efficient when the encoder processes a number of CBs. In addition, we apply the proposed scheme to a real system based on LTE, so that the timing requirement for ACK/NACK transmission is met by employing the encoder based on the parallel structure.

In recent years, the deterioration of infrastructures is especially considered. In prestress concrete bridges, one of the important mechanisms of deterioration is the corrosion of the post-tensioned tendon due to environmental agents. In this study, the reliability analysis is performed for a prestress concrete box girder bridge under the pitting corrosion attack with considering the inspection and failure cost. The variation of life-time performance depending on inspection methods have to be quantified. The inspection methods with different accuracy of corrosion detection are presented and applied for model of reliability analysis. The computer program for analysis reliability index of the structure as well as updating process is obtained. An existing bridge is applied for illustrating the influence of inspection cost on the behaviors of structure. Subsequently, the benefit of inspection has shown to predict the time to failure of structure.

In this paper, manufacturing processes of cylindrical composite lattice structures using filament winding method was described. Cylindrical composite lattice structures were manufactured in accordance with four major steps. Silicon mold of lattice shape was installed on mandrel and then continuous fiber was wound on silicon mold. After winding process, in order to ensure the same thickness for all regions, compression process was done for its intersection parts. Finally, the composite lattice structure was demoulded after curing in oven. It was found that the manufactured cylindrical composites lattice structure had 2.4% of dimensional error compared to the design requirements.

In this paper, a slotted trapezoidal microstrip fractal patch antenna is designed and fabricated for the vehicle GPS antenna. We designed air substrate patch antenna to obtain gain improvement by the elimination of dielectric loss. By applying fractal structure with crossed slot to trapezoidal patch, we obtained 42.5 % as much patch size as conventional triangular patch antenna. Measured bandwidth was 200 MHz on GPS band under VSWR 2:1 And gain was 4.31 dBi at resonant frequency that is 2$\sim$5 dB higher gain than conventional ceramic patch antenna on GPS band.

The structure supporting road sign is a road information facility for ensuring the safe transportation and smooth traffic. But, lots of road information facilities were damaged by the typhoon "Maemi" in 2003. Such damaged facilities should be rehabilitated and could increase economic loss by causing traffic accident. Therefore, in this study, behavior that reduce wind load and improve wind resistance of the structure supporting road sign are studied about wind load beyond design specification by abnormal climate as below. The first is wind load reducing technique such that shear key resist wind load that is not greater than design wind speed but in case that it is over the design wind limit, column member is rotated on the inner steel pipe axis by the brittle failure of shear key. The second is the technique such that fail-safe the overturning of road sign panel by equipment installation in the vertical member. The third is the technique of installing stiffening plate inside the vertical member to relieve stress concentration.

Although self-propelled artilleries are mobile equipment, they need their own covered-positions for survival against preemptive strikes. The most important military requirement is enough protective capacity against blast pressure caused by explosion. This paper aims to assess the protective capacity of the newly-placed concrete box-type artillery positions using accurate structural geometric models as well as soil-structure interaction analysis. The commercial program is used to model the structural geometry of the positions. In order to describe the correct wave propagation in the backfill along with soil-structure interaction, used parameters in shock equation of state are selected based on the related studies as well as theories and then their final results are verified with the ones calculated with empirical equations in the US Unified Facility Criteria. In sum, it could be concluded that the protective capacity of the newly-built positions satisfies the protective structural requirement.

DSCs are based on a dye-adsorbed porous $TiO_2$ layer as a photo electrode [1]. Under the illumination, dye molecules are excited and electrons are produced. The injected electrons in the conduction band of $TiO_2$ may recombine with the electrolyte. To obtain high performance DSCs, it is essential to retard the recombination. The charge recombination can be reduced by forming core-shell structure. In this work, we investigated the core-shell structure with $Al_2O_3$ and MgO coating layer on the porous $TiO_2$ layer. We confirmed the photovoltaic properties by I-V characteristics. The current and the efficiency was improved. In addition to, Through decrease in the width of EIS arc, which is the sum of the interfacial charge transfer resistances of both electrodes, we can be indicated that the block effect.

AC PDP에서 유전체 보호막으로 사용되는 MgO 박막은 높은 이차전자방출계수($\gamma$)로 인해 방전전압을 낮춰주는 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 이러한 MgO 보호막의 이차전자방출계수를 증가시키기 위해 MgO 의 Energy Band Structure 규명이 중요한 연구 주제가 되고 있다. MgO의 이차전자방출계수($\gamma$)는 Auger 중화 이론에 의해 방출 메커니즘이 설명이 되고, 그 원리는 다음과 같다. 고유의 이온화 에너지를 가진 이온이 MgO 표면에 입사 되면, Tunneling Effect에 의해 전자와 이온 사이에 중화가 일어나고, 중화가 되고 남은 에너지가 MgO Valance Band 내의 전자에게 전달되면 이때 남은 에너지(${\Delta}E$)가 MgO의 일함수(Work function) 보다 크게 되면 이차전자로 방출된다. 본 실험 에서는 $\gamma$-FIB System을 이용하여 결정 방향이 (100), (110), (111)을 갖는 Single Crystal MgO에 이온화 에너지가 24.58eV인 He Ion source를 주사 하였을 때 Auger self-convolution을 통해 이차전자의 운동 에너지 분포를 구하고, 이를 통해 MgO 내의 Energy Band Structure를 실험적으로 측정하였다. 이를 통해 MgO Single Crystal의 일함수 및 Defect Level의 분포를 확인하였다.

Single crystals of nanocomposite [GaO4Al12(OH)24(H2O)12][Al(OH)6Mo6O18]2(OH)${\cdot}$30H2O, 2, were obtained by the reaction between [GaO4Al12(OH)24(H2O)12]7+ and [Mo7O24]6- clusters in an aqueous solution, analogously to the [AlO4Al12(OH)24(H2O)12][Al(OH)6Mo6O18]2(OH)${\cdot}$29.5H2O nanocomposite, 1. The crystal structure of 2 was determined by single crystal x-ray diffraction; space group $C2}c$ (No. 15), a = 27.418(2) $\AA$, b = 15.647(2) $\AA$, c = 23.960(4) $\AA$, $\beta$ = $102.850(9)^{\circ}$, V = 10,021.5(20) $\AA3$ , Z = 4. Detailed analysis of the structural data show that the clusters are held by intimate hydrogen bondings of the surface O2- and OH- groups of the clusters as well as the ionic interactions between the oppositely charged cluster ions.

The Joint Video Exploration Team (JVET) has studied future video coding (FVC) technologies with a potential compression capacity that significantly exceeds that of the high-efficiency video coding (HEVC) standard. The joint exploration test model (JEM), a common platform for the exploration of FVC technologies in the JVET, employs quadtree plus binary tree block partitioning, which enhances the flexibility of coding unit partitioning. Despite significant improvement in coding efficiency for chrominance achieved by separating luminance and chrominance tree structures in I slices, this approach has intrinsic drawbacks that result in the redundancy of block partitioning data. In this paper, an adaptive tree structure correlating luminance and chrominance of single and dual trees is presented. Our proposed method resulted in an average reduction of -0.24% in the Y Bjontegaard Delta rate relative to the intracoding of JEM 6.0 common test conditions.
