$MnBi_{1-x}Ti_x$ (x = 0, 0.4, 0.7, 1) alloys were prepared by arc-melting, followed by heat treatment. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) were used to measure and investigate the phase structure and magnetic properties. The temperature dependent magnetization curves indicate that the phase transitions between LTP and HTP MnBi occur with heating or cooling in $MnBi_{1-x}Ti_x$ ($x{\leq}0.7$) samples. However, MnTi samples are in $Mn_2Ti$ single-phase, with very low magnetic properties. Furthermore, the coercivity exhibits a positive temperature coefficient. The results show that the optimal content of Ti for the coercivity of $MnBi_{1-x}Ti_x$ alloy is x = 0.4. For MnBi sample, the coercivity reaches a maximum value of 1.13 T at 550 K. However, the remanence and energy product show apparent decrease with the addition of Ti in $MnBi_{1-x}Ti_x$ alloys.

This paper considered the structural mechanism of transitional boundary layer by the experimental approach. In order to measure the turbulence quantity in the boundary layer, we made a wind tunnel with 400${\times}$190${\times}$2500 mm test section and a flat plate with well fabricated leading edge. Hot wire anemometer was used for acquiring the continuous turbulence signal which is processed by special software. The results of experiment show that the region where turbulence spot is dominant moves from near wall to overall layer and thus the anisotropy of velocity fluctuation shows so large value. Also the turbulence energy originally contained in low frequency band comes up to the high frequency band. Finally the turbulence model needs minimum two length scales to consider the pre-transition region.

Recently, various bulk metallic glasses (BMG's) having good mechanical and chemical properties were developed. BMG's can easily be deformed in the supercooled liquid region, via viscous flow mechanism. By using the viscous flow, the very low pressure is needed to deform the materials. In this study, we investigated the structural transition and deformation behavior of Vitreloy 1 (Zr/sub 41.2/Ti/sub 13.8/Cu/sub 12.5/Ni/sub 10/Be/sub 22.5/) using TMA and DSC. We applied the results to the micro forming process. The forming condition was chosen based on the viscosity data from TMA, and Si wafer with micro patterns on the surface was used as a forming die. The deformed surface was analyzed by SEM and 3D Surface Profiling System. The alloy showed good replication of the patterns. Quantitative measurement of roughness was useful to evaluate the replication. Surface condition of the deformed surface was determined by the initial surface condition.

Dielectric properties and the stabilization of perovskite phase for the (1-y)Pb(Mg(1-x)/3Znx/3Znx/3Nb2/3)O3-yBaTiO3 ((1-y)PM1-xZxN-yBT) ceramics have been investigated as a function of amount of x and y. In the (1-y)PM0.6Z0.4N-yBT ceramics, the amount of pyrochlore phae was decreased by the addition of 2 mol% BT and the dielectric constant was increased. However, the dielectric constant decreased with further addition of BT even though pyrochlore phase was decreased. Dielectric prooperties in (1-y)PM0.6Z0.4N-yBT ceracmis were affected by the character of the BT rather than the amount of pyrochlore phase. The phase transitions were broadened and phase transition temperatures were lowered by the increase of BT contents.

Samples with the nominal composition, B $i_{1.84}$P $b_{0.34}$S $r_{1.91}$C $a_{2.03}$C $u_{3.06}$ $O_{10+{\delta}}$ high- $T_{c}$ superconductors containing MgO as an additive were fabricated by a solid-state reaction method. Samples with MgO of 5~30 wt% each were sintered at 820~86$0^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours. The structural characteristics, critical temperature, grain size and image of mapping with respect to MgO contents were analyzed by XRD(X-Ray Diffraction), SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope) and EDS(Energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer) respectively. As MgO contents increased, intensity of MgO Peaks and ratio of Bi-2212 phase in superconductors intensified and the proportion of the phase transition from Bi-2223 to Bi-2212 was increased.

The buffeting response is a vital consideration for long-span bridges in typhoon-prone areas. In the conventional analysis, the turbulence and structural vibrations are assumed as stationary processes, which are, however, inconsistent with the non-stationary features observed in typhoon winds. This poses a question on how the stationary assumption would affect the evaluation of buffeting responses under non-stationary wind actions in nature. To figure out this problem, this paper presents a comparative study on buffeting responses of a long-span cable-stayed bridge based on stationary and non-stationary perspectives. The stationary and non-stationary buffeting analysis frameworks are firstly reviewed. Then, a modal analysis of the example bridge, Sutong Cable-stayed Bridge (SCB), is conducted, and stationary and non-stationary spectral models are derived based on measured typhoon winds. On this condition, the buffeting responses of SCB are finally analyzed by following stationary and non-stationary approaches. Although the stationary results are almost identical with the non-stationary results in the mean sense, the root-mean-square value of buffeting responses are underestimated by the stationary assumption as the time-varying features existing in the spectra of turbulence are neglected. The analytical results highlights a transition from stationarity to non-stationarity in the buffeting analysis of long-span bridges.

Recently, CCN(Content Centric Network) has been extensively interested in the literature to transfer data traffic efficiently according to the rapid growth of multimedia services on the Internet. CCN is a new networking paradigm to deliver contents efficiently based on the named content not the named or addressed host. This paper presents a mathematical approach for analyzing CCN-caching systems with two routers. Considering the stochastic characteristics of communication networks, the caching system is modeled as a two dimensional Markov chain. This paper analyzes the structural feature of the transition rate matrix in the Markov chain and presents a numerical solution for the CCN-caching performance of the two router system. In addition, various numerical examples are presented.

The structural and electronic properties of $XAu_{16^-}$ (X = S or O) have been studied by the scalar relativistic all-electron density functional calculations, in which a particular attention is paid to the stability of various $XAu_{16^-}$ structures. We find that an X-encapsulated golden cage ($XAu_{16^-}$) represents an ionic character whereas in the other structures, adsorption characters are represented by covalent bonding. Especially, in S@$Au_{16^-}$, electrons are donated from the S atom to $Au_{16^-}$. The most stable $XAu_{16^-}$ structures exhibit a small HOMO-LUMO energy gap, indicating that they could be chemically reactive. We also calculated the activation energy barriers of the transition between the most stable exohedral and endohedral adsorption configurations as well as their reaction energies. Our results demonstrate that the activation barrier in the $OAu_{16^-}$ is lower than in $SAu_{16^-}$. This is associated with the smaller atomic radius of oxygen than that of sulfur.

Dispersions are prepared from poly(ethylene-co-acrylic acid) (PEAA) ionomer with two different counter-ions, ammonium and sodium. The diffusional characteristic of urea aqueous solution are measured for the films prepared from the above mentioned dispersions. It is attempted to find the relationship between diffusional behavior and various chemical and physical characteristics of films. DSC is employed to characterize glass transition temperature and degree of crystallinity and the structural features of crystal phase and ionic clusters are examined by WAXD and FTIR. The diffusional characteristics of ionomer is found to be dependent on various parameters such as the size of initial dispersion as well as the kind of counter ion and the degree of neutralization.

An azoinitiator linked to an epoxy oligomer, which could easily diffuse into the organoclay gallery and swell it, was used as an initiator to enhance the delamination of an organoclay, Cloisite 25A, in a matrix of styrenic polymers, poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile) and polystyrene, during the preparation of a nanocomposite via an in-situ polymerization method. X-ray diffraction results and transmission electron microscopic observation of the morphology showed that the epoxy segment enhanced not only the delamination but also the extrication of ammonium cations from the organoclay gallery into the polymer matrix. The latter phenomenon induced the structural change of the alkyl group of ammonium cations in the gallery from a bilayer to monolayer structure, and also decreased the glass-rubber transition temperature as measured by a differential scanning calorimeter and dynamic mechanical analyzer.
