  • Most tunnels in soft soils in urban areas are constructed by shield tunnelling method for environmental reasons. Ground surface settlements are caused by shield tunnelling so that auxiliary measures are often required. Simple methods to predict ground surface settlement are given. The use of the slurry or the earth pressure balance shield machine and the application of new methods of grouting with computer aided operation control systems decreases the ground surface settlement to 3 mm. The construction cost of tunnels is almost identical whichever type of shield machine is employed according to a statistical investigation.

  • The choice of design parameters for a robot arm depends on the desired workspace, load lifting capacity, application requirements, and the performance of the robot. The inverse process, which is the determination of a single robot's workspace for a given specification is also a common practice and is as important to the designers as it is to the users. Based on the geometric influence coefficients, the workspace areas on the vertical Y-Z plane are investigated and calculated. Using these areas, the effects of link parameters, link length ratios and joint rotation angles, are investigated.

  • In this paper we consider estimation of cancer incidence rates for local areas. The raw estimates usually are based on small sample sizes and hence are usually unreliable. A hierarchical Bayes generalized linear model is used which connects the local areas thereby enabling one to 'borrow strength' Random effects with pairwise difference priors model the spatial structure in the data. The methods are applied to cancer incidence estimation for census tracts in a certain region of the state of New York.

  • Over the past decade, small robots have been of particular interest in the engineering field. Among the various types of small robots, biomimetic robots, which mimic animals and insects, have been developed for special activities in areas where humans cannot physically access. The optimal motion of a walking robot can be determined by the characteristics of the traversed surface (e.g., roughness, curvature, slope, materials, etc.). This study proposes three types of piezoelectric structures using different driving mechanisms, depending on the application range of the small walking robots. Dynamic modeling using computer-aided engineering optimized the shape of the robot to maximize its moving characteristics, and the results were also verified through its fabrication and experimentation. Three types of robots, named by their actuator shapes as I, π, & T-shape, were proposed regarding application for small scale ambulatory robots to different terrain conditions. Among these, the T-shaped robots were shown to have a wide range of speeds (from 2 mm/s up to 255 mm/s) and good carrying capacity (up to 10 g at 50 mm/s) through driving experiments. Based on this study, we proposed possible application areas for the three types of walking robot actuators.

  • In recent years, physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling has been widely used in pharmaceutical industries as well as regulatory health authorities for drug discovery and development. Several application areas of PBPK have been introduced so far including drug-drug interaction prediction, transporter-mediated interaction prediction, and pediatric PK prediction. The purpose of this review is to introduce PBPK and illustrates one of its application areas, particularly pediatric PK prediction by utilizing existing adult PK data and in vitro data. The evaluation of the initial PBPK for adult was done by comparing with experimental PK profiles and the scaling from adult to pediatric was conducted using age-related changes in size such as tissue compartments, and protein binding etc. Sotalol and lorazepam were selected in this review as model drugs for this purpose and were re-evaluated using the PBPK models by GastroPlus$^{(R)}$. The challenges and strategies of PBPK models using adult PK data as well as appropriate in vitro assay data for extrapolating pediatric PK at various ages were also discussed in this paper.

  • This paper is to define the method that develops the software In proper to application areas of Geographic Information Systems and design patterns according to functions and roles that implement the system for safety evaluation of the groundwater well based on an object oriented spatial model. In order to design the user interface of the groundwater well, this paper proposes the framework that should classify only requisite components adaptable to various application areas. By specifying De pattern appropriate to the application domain and designing the analysis pattern using the UML based on the object oriented methodology. this paper shah contribute to enhance the reuse of components that can develop and distribute a .large scale open system.

  • The usability of QRcode as a replacement of the Barcode has been increasing. As the QRcode can be saved much information than Barcode, the QRcode has various application areas. In these days we can see the quadrangular box in everywhere. In this paper we introduce an example of application areas of the QRcode, which the system save the mileage information on the Android smartphone. Our proposed system help the small markets or traditional markets which don't have enough fund to construct mileage system.

  • This study applied BS replacement mortar's ERCO to see what impact it has on moisture evaporation and contraction changes, and resulted in the following. Depending on the rate of change in length according to the cure method of BS replacement mortar, high-strength areas were shown to have a bigger increase in the rate of change in length than regular or low-strength areas, and differences in rate of change in length due to ERCO cure methods were shown to be slight. For rate of changes in mass, on the whole there was an increase in the order of dry curing, cover curing, 7-day water curing, and28-day water curing. A comprehensive view says that after removal of test piece specimens, ERCO application did not expect a sufficient curing effect in the BS area.
