In the present work, free vibration of beams made of imperfect functionally graded materials (FGMs) including porosities is investigated. Because of faults during process of manufacture, micro voids or porosities may arise in the FGMs, and this situation causes imperfection in the structure. Therefore, material properties of the beams are assumed to vary continuously through the thickness direction according to the volume fraction of constituents described with the modified rule of mixture including porosity volume fraction which covers two types of porosity distribution over the cross section, i.e., even and uneven distributions. The governing equations of power law FGM (P-FGM) and sigmoid law FGM (S-FGM) beams are derived within the frame works of classical beam theory (CBT) and first order shear deformation beam theory (FSDBT). The resulting equations are solved using separation of variables technique and assuming FG beams are simply supported at both ends. To validate the results numerous comparisons are carried out with available results of open literature. The effects of types of volume fraction function, beam theory and porosity volume fraction, as well as the variations of volume fraction index, span to depth ratio and porosity volume fraction, on the first three non-dimensional frequencies are examined in detail.

This paper is the first of its kind using a non-linear approach based on cross-correlation function (CCF) to investigate the information arrival hypothesis in crude palm oil (CPO) futures market. Based on daily data from 1986 to 2010, our empirical results reveal that: First, the volume of volatility is not a proxy of information flow. Second, dependence causality running from current return to future volume in conditional variance exhibit an asymmetric pattern of time span with different signs of correlation between price and volume series. This finding indicates the presence of noise traders' hypothesis of price-volume interaction in CPO futures market. Both findings suggest that this futures market is weak-form inefficiency. In terms of investors' behavior, they tend to change their expectations on current return based on errors made in previous trade in generating abnormal volume in the subsequent period. As implied, it is advisable for the investors devise their future trading strategies according to time span and changes of return.

The purpose of this study is to construct the ACD model for the block trading volume duration. The ACD model based on the block trading volume duration is referred to as Volume ACD (VACD) in this study. By integrating with GARCH-type models, the VACD based GARCH type models, which include VACD-GARCH, VACD-IGARCH and VACD-FIGARCH models, are set up. This study selects Chunghwa Telecom (CHT) Inc., offering the America Depository Receipt (ADR) in NYSE, to investigate the block trading volume duration in Taiwanese equity market. The empirical results indicate that the long memory in volume duration series increases dependence at level of volatility clustering by VACD (2,1)-FIGARCH (3,d,1) model. Moreover, the VACD (2,1)-IGARCH (1,1) exhibits relatively better performance of prediction on capturing block trading volume duration. This volatility model is more appropriate in this study to portray the change of the CHT Inc. prices and provides more information about the volatility process for investment strategy, which can be a reference indicator of financial asset pricing, hedging strategy and risk management.

Particle deposition in human lungs was investigated theoretically by using asymmetric five-lobe lung model. The volumes of each of the five lobes were different, thereby forming an asymmetric lung structure. The tidal volume and flow rate of each lobe were scaled according to lobar volume. The total and regional deposition with various breathing patterns were calculated by means of tracking volume segments and accounting for particle loss during inhalation and exhalation. The deposition fractions were obtained for each airway generation and lung lobe, and dominant deposition mechanisms were investigated for different size particles. Results show that the tidal volume and flow rate have a characteristic influence on particle deposition. The total deposition fraction increases with an increase in tidal volume for all particle sizes. However, flow rate has dichotomous effects: a higher flow rate results in a sharp increase in deposition for large size particles, but decreases deposition for small size particles. Deposition distribution within the lung shifts proximally with higher flow rate whereas deposition peak shifts to the deeper lung region with larger tidal volume. Deposition fraction in each lobe was proportional to its volume. Among the three main deposition mechanisms, diffusion was dominant for particles < 0.5 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ whereas sedimentation and impaction were most influential for larger size particles. Impaction was particularly dominant for particles> 8 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The results may prove to be useful for estimating deposition dose of inhaled pollutant particles at various breathing conditions.

본 연구는 고함수비의 액상준설토의 체적변화 및 퇴적특성을 파악하기 위해 일련의 실린더침강시험, 침투압밀시험과 2차원퇴적모형실험이 실시되었다. 그리고 실험결과는 실제 준설매립현장의 퇴적상태와 비교됨으로써 설계시에 필요한 침강에 의한 체적변화량을 구할 수 있도록 하였으며, 퇴적후의 세립토의 분포와 함수비 변화 등이 함에 조사되었다. 따라서 1차원 침강시는 실질토량이 증가 할 수록 퇴적고는 선형적으로 증가하며, 자중압밀개시시 및 완료시의 계면고도 또한 실질토량에 비례하여 증가되고 있다. 한편 2차원 퇴적모형실험에 의해 함수비의 분포와 세립토의 퇴적상태를 제시하였으며, 퇴적층의 함수비는 #200체의 통과량에 따라 다르며 최소 30%에서 최대 180%까지 폭넓게 분포되고 있다.

도로 및 철도 등의 투자평가에 있어 도로부문에서 발생하는 통행시간 절감편익의 추정이 가장 중요한 부문을 차지한다. 우리나라에서 현재 적용되고 있는 대부분의 교통시설 투자평가지침은 BPR 함수의 시간-교통량 관계를 이용하고 있으며, 연평균일일교통량(AADT)에 첨두시간 교통량의 비율(설계시간 계수)을 곱한 교통량을 기준으로 산출되고 있다. 그러나 AADT 에 설계시간계수를 적용하는 문제와 우리나라의 많은 도로구간이 거의 용량상태에 다다르고 있는 상황 등으로 인하여 총통 행시간이 과다추정되는 것에 대한 문제제기가 있어왔다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 방식을 대신하여, 일년간 시간대별 교통량 분포를 이용하여 총통행시간을 산출함으로써 이러한 문제를 극복하여 보다 현실성 있는 통행시간을 추정할 수 있는 방법을 제 시하였다. 일반국도를 대상으로 이 방법론의 적용효과를 분석하였으며, 이 방법론은 도로의 위계 및 유형별로 AADT를 제공하게 되면 다른 유형의 도로에 대하여서도 적용될 수 있을 것이다.

본 연구는 전역 조명 기법 중 하나인 환경-광 가림(ambient occlusion)을 이용한 볼륨 렌더링 방법을 설명한다. 볼륨 밀도 분포를 정규 분포로 가정하여, 환경-광 가림을 불투명도 전이함수의 변경과 무관하게 실시간 가시화할 수 있다. 전처리 과정에서 각 복셀 주변의 일정 크기 영역의 평균과 표준편차를 계산하여 두고, 가시화 단계에서 근방의 불투명도를 추정하여 밝기를 계산한다. 이 논문은 본 연구자들의 기존 연구를 발전시켜 이론적 모델을 일반화하고 출력 영상의 화질을 향상시킨다. 구체적으로 다양한 형태의 불투명도 전이함수를 사용할 수 있는 계산 모델을 제안한다. 그리고 영역의 크기를 다양하게 통계량을 생성하여 근처의 물체에 더 높은 가중치를 부여할 수 있도록 하였다. 최종적으로 환경-광 가림 효과와 지역 조명 효과를 혼합하여, 더 현실감 있는 화질의 볼륨 가시화 영상을 실시간으로 생성할 수 있다.

This work focuses on the behavior of the static analysis of functionally graded plates materials (FGMs) with porosities that may possibly occur inside the functionally graded materials (FGMs) during their fabrication. For this purpose a new refined plate theory is used in this work, it contains only four unknowns, unlike five unknowns for other theories. This new model meets the nullity of the transverse shear stress at the upper and lower surfaces of the plate. The parabolic distribution of transverse shear stresses along the thickness of the plate is taken into account in this analysis; the material properties of the FGM plate vary a power law distribution in terms of volume fraction of the constituents. The rule of mixture is modified to describe and approximate material properties of the FG plates with porosity phases. The validity of this theory is studied by comparing some of the present results with other higher-order theories reported in the literature, the influence of material parameter, the volume fraction of porosity and the thickness ratio on the behavior mechanical P-FGM plate are represented by numerical examples.

In this study, activated carbon fabric was prepared from a cellulose-based polymer (viscose rayon) via a combination of physical and chemical activation (mixed activation) processes by means of $CO_2$ as a gasifying agent and surface and adsorption properties were evaluated. Experiments were performed to investigate the consequence of activation temperature (750, 800, 850 and $925^{\circ}C$), activation time (15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes) and $CO_2$ flow rate (100, 200, 300 and 400 mL/min) on the surface and adsorption properties of ACF. The nitrogen adsorption isotherm at 77 K was measured and used for the determination of surface area, total pore volume, micropore volume, mesopore volume and pore size distribution using BET, t-plot, DR, BJH and DFT methods, respectively. It was observed that BET surface area and TPV increase with rising activation temperature and time due to the formation of new pores and the alteration of micropores into mesopores. It was also found that activation temperature dominantly affects the surface properties of ACF. The adsorption of iodine and $CCl_4$ onto ACF was investigated and both were found to correlate with surface area.
