A series of constant creep and repeated creep tests are performed to investigate the behavior of visco-elasto-plastic materials of chemical grouted sands. In the result of constant creep test, the material exhibits three types of shear strain : elastic, plastic, viscoelastic. The elastic, plastic and viscoelastic strains are linear, i.e., the strains are proportional to the stresses for loading. Good agreement is found between the predicted viscoelastic and test results by the power law and the generalized model. In the repeated creep test, the instantaneous recoverable strain is time-independent and the magnitude of accumulated plastic strain increases with number of cycles. Also it is seen that the accumulated plastic strains are approximately proportional to stress. There are no significant differences between test results predicted values for first cycle, and the differences increase relatively insignificantly with number of cycles.

The new ion exchange resin was synthesized from chloromethylated styrene-1,4-divinylbenzene(DVB) with 1-aza-15-crown-5 macrocyclic ligand by substitution reaction. The effect of pH, time, dielectric constant of solvent and cross-linked of the matrix on the adsorption for $UO_2^{2+}$, $Ca^{2}$ and $Lu^{3+}$ was investigated. The metal ion was not adsorbed on the resins below pH 3 but above pH 4 fast adsorption behavior was showed. The optimum equilibrium time for adsorption of metallic ions was two hours. The adsorption selectivity determined in ethanol matrix was in increasing order $UO_2^{2+}>Ca^{2}>Lu^{3+}$. The adsorption power was in the order of 1%, 2%, 10% and 20% -crosslinked resin, but adsorption properties of resins decreased in proportion to the order of dielectric constant of solvents used. In addition, these metal ions could be separated in the column packed with 1% crosslinked resin by pH2.5 $HNO_3$ as an eluent.

This study attempts to analyse the solid mixing in the feeder and the packing effect for pressure fluctuations in the fluidized bed. To study the mixing characteristics of solid in vibrating feeder for the stable operations of fluidized combustion, the system consisted of two groups of particles such that fine particles were located on the top of the coarse particles before vibratory mixing had started. The effects of packing materials on the pressure fluctuations in a fluidized bed were analysed by using a statistical method to interpret the behavior of fluidized bed. The experiments were carried out in a fluidized bed of 6.7cm-ID, and the experimental variables were particle sizes, of 115 to 1,015$\mu\textrm{m}$ in diameter and the multi-sized particles haying Rosin-Rammler and Gaussian distributions. The settled bed heights of particles to diameter ratios (L/D) were ranged from 0.5 to 2.0. And fluidizing of particles was carried out by air. The packing materials used were screen packing, and the properties of the pressure fluctuations in the fluidized bed were measured by a differential pressure transducer. The properties of the pressure fluctuations calculated were the mean, the standard deviation, and the major frequency of the power spectral density functions. From the characteristics of fluidizing, it was found that the standard deviation of pressure fluctuations could be effectively used to explain the fluidized phenomena, and the packing materials affected severely the properties of the pressure fluctuations. As a result, from the interpretation by spectral analysis, the effects of measuring radius of pressure fluctuations on standard deviation were constant in the case of the fluidized bed with and without packing materials. However, the effects of measuring the height of pressure fluctuations on standard deviations were linear increasing for the fluidized bed with packing materials, but were constant for the fluidized bed without packing materials at 4.5cm above the gas distributor. The major frequency of pressure fluctuations was found to be nearly independent of fluidized system. Also, the major frequency of pressure fluctuations decreased with increasing packing size, and it had maximum value at 10% of the packing amount.

PURPOSES : This study is to predict the Sound Pressure Level(SPL) obtained from the Noble Close ProXimity(NCPX) method by using the Extended Kalman Filter Algorithm employing the taylor series and Linear Regression Analysis based on the least square method. The objective of utilizing EKF Algorithm is to consider stochastically the effect of error because the Regression analysis is not the method for the statical approach. METHODS : For measuring the friction noise between the surface and vehicle's tire, NCPX method was used. With NCPX method, SPL can be obtained using the frequency analysis such as Discrete Fourier Transform(DFT), Fast Fourier Transform(FFT) and Constant Percentage Bandwidth(CPB) Analysis. In this research, CPB analysis was only conducted for deriving A-weighted SPL from the sound power level in terms of frequencies. EKF Algorithm and Regression analysis were performed for estimating the SPL regarding the vehicle velocities. RESULTS : The study has shown that the results related to the coefficient of determination and RMSE from EKF Algorithm have been improved by comparing to Regression analysis. CONCLUSIONS : The more the vehicle is fast, the more the SPL must be high. But in the results of EKF Algorithm, SPLs are irregular. The reason of that is the EKF algorithm can be reflected by the error covariance from the measurements.

Physicochemical properties and aging of chestnut, Castanea cretana(Eungi), starch were investigated. The starch granules were irregular oval shape with the ratio of short and long axis of 1 : 1.4 and the size of $2.9-21.4{\mu}$ (average $10\;{\mu})$). The starch showed a typical B-type X-type diffraction pattern. Amylose content and water binding capacity were 22.7% and 81.5%, respectively. The optical transmittance of 0.1% starch suspension increased rapidly from $55^{\circ}C$. The swelling power of the starch repidly increased betwen $55^{\circ}C$ and $60^{\circ}C$, and its increase slowed down thereafter. Amylograms of starch at 5% and 6% concentrations indicated that the starch was stable against heat and shear force. The viscosity at 6% concentration was over twice higher than that at lower concentration. The time constant(reciprocal of rate constant) for 45% starch gel stored at $21^{\circ}C$ was 1.68 days.

TPH degrdation patterns in diesel contaminated soil was investigated with microwave radiation. When microwave radiation on the soil was applied, temperature increment of the aridic soil was quite low, but temperature in the moist soil was dramatically increased even if short period of running time. Up to 20% of the moisture content, the higher moisture content has more increment of temperature, whereas over 20% of the moisture content, temperature in the soil was rather decreased. when 100~700 W power of microwave radiation was applied into the contaminated soil, a lot of TPH removals was observed under 300 W, but negligible increment of TPH removal was detected over 300 W. 60% of TPH removal was achieved with initial 20% moisture content and microwave radiation. Additional 25% removal was accomplished when moisture content was kept constant during radiation period. It indicated that maintaining of constant moisture is an important factor for TPH removal with microwave radiation because moisture and temperature in the soil are decreased with reaction time.

In this paper, we propose the acquisition method of the Cyclic-Prefix CDMA using Good-Autocorrelation-Sequence (GAS-CP-CDMA) system. The sequences for GAS-CP-CDMA are m-sequence and constant amplitude zero autocorrelation code (CAZAC) with good autocorrelation property. The GAS-CP-CDMA system is proposed for interference cancellation in multi-user and -path environment in co-cell. However, the reliable initial acquisition in multi-path fading channel and multi-user system environment is crucial. In this paper, non-coherent power detector and threshold value are used for discriminating signal acquisition. The sequence used for computer simulation is CAZAC. The simulation results show proper threshold value depends on the number of users. Through the computer simulation, we draw setting up method of the optimum threshold value for the GAS-CP-CDMA system.

This paper describes a read-only CMOS transponder IC for RFID applications. A full-wave rectifier implemented using NMOS transistors supplies the transponder with a dc supply voltage using the magnetic field generated from a reader. A 64-bit ROM has been designed for a data memory. Front-end impedance modulation and Manchester coding are used for transmitting the data from the transponder memory to the reader. A new damping circuit which has almost constant damping rate under the variations of the distance between the transponder and the reader has been employed for impedance modulation. The designed circuit has been fabricated using a 0.65${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$2-poly, 2-metal CMOS process. Die area is 0.9mm$\times$0.4mm. Measurement results show that it has a constant damping rate of around 20~25% and a data transmission rate of 3.9kbps at a 125KHz RF carrier. The power required for reading operation is about 100㎼. The measured reading distance is around 7cm.
