Existing non-manifold data structures which use the ordered topological representation method, are designed based on a "Model" which is the highest topological entity. Their non-manifold information is always included in edges and vertices even if they are in the manifold situation. Thus they require large storage spaces than manifold data structures. The proposed data structure reduces its storage space by removing unnecessary information stored in edges and vertices. Topological information is classified into manifold and non-manifold information. The main non-manifold information is radial cycles and disk cycles. The proposed data structure always stores manifold information. For the non-manifold situation, the edge stores radial cycles, and the vertex stores disk cycles. The storage space can be reduced in the later stage of CAD design when the ratio of non-manifold to manifold entities is small.

PLZT thin films were prepared using sol-gel spin coating. The films mainly consisted of perovskite phase when heat treated at 600$^{\circ}C$ and in O2 or air atmosphere for 2 hours after 7 coating cycles. Cracks were formed when smaller than after 9 coating cycles. When ITO interlayer existed between Corning 7059 glass substrate and the film, cracks were not formed after 9 coating cycles, but cracks were formed after 11 coating cycles because of large volume change of the film contracting on the substrate during the heat treatment. In the observation of microstructure, the thin films have perovskite phase of about 2 $\mu\textrm{m}$ grain size and pyrochlore phase of 100∼200${\AA}$ grain size.

Due to the rapid advancement of technologies, a growing number of innovative products with a short life-cycle have been introduced to the market. As the life-cycles of such products are shorter than those of durable goods, the demand variation during the life-cycle adds to the difficulty of inventory management. Traditional inventory planning models and techniques mostly deal with products that have long life-cycles. The assumptions on the demand pattern and subsequent solution approaches are generally, not suitable for dealing with products with short life-cycles. In this research, inventory replenishment problems based on the logistic demand model are formulated and solved to facilitate the management of products with short life-cycles. An extended Wagner- Whitin approach is used to determine the replenishment cycle, schedules and lot-sizes.

With a specially designed electrochemical cell, the changes in impedance behavior for Inconel 600 and aluminide diffusion coatings under molten sulfate film with thermal cycles (from $800^{\circ}C$ to $350^{\circ}C$) were monitored with electrochemical impedance measurements. It was found that corrosion resistance for both materials increased with lower temperatures. At the same time, the state of molten salt was also monitored successfully by measuring the changes in impedance at high frequency, which generally represents the resistance of molten salt itself. After two thermal cycles, both Inconel 600 and aluminide diffusion coatings showed excellent corrosion resistance. The results from SEM observation and EDS analysis correlated well with the results obtained by electrochemical impedance measurements. It is concluded that electrochemical impedance is very useful for monitoring the corrosion resistance of materials under molten salt film conditions even with thermal cycles.

Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations were developed to investigate the effectiveness of geosynthetic reinforcement and the effectiveness of maintenance techniques performed on a simulated ballast bed subjected to dynamic loading. The results from four samples subjected each one to a total of 425 load cycles are presented: one unreinforced and unmaintained sample, one unmaintained but reinforced sample, one unreinforced sample subjected to maintenance in the form of stoneblowing after 200 load cycles, and one unreinforced sample subjected to maintenance in the form of tamping after 200 load cycles. The obtained values of permanent deformation as a function of the applied number of load cycles for the four cases are presented together allowing a comparison of the effectiveness of each technique. Moreover, snapshots of the simulated track sections are presented at different moments of the simulations. The simulations indicated that the geosynthetic reinforcement may not be beneficial for the analyzed case while stoneblowing was the most effective maintenance technique.

This investigation is carried out to clarify the cycles of nitrogen in the grassland ecosystems of Zoysia japonica and a Miscanthus sinensis on Mt. Kwanak. The hasic differential equation for the rate of change of nitrogen storage is illustrated hy huild-up and turnover of organic nitrogen, particularly in the ecosystems. The turnover velocity fractions of nitrogen for the Z. japonica and M .sinensis grasslands were k= 0. 181 and k=0. 166, respectively. The times required to reach 50, 95 and 99 percent of the steady state levels and turnover values of nitrogen on the grassland floors were 3.85, 16.67 and 27.78 years in the Z japonica grassland and 4.08, 17.65 and 29.41 years in the M sinensis grassland. The amount of annual cycles of nitrogen are 560.2 g /$m^2$ in the Z.japonica grassland and 654.1 g /$m^2$ in the M. sinensis grassland. Key words : Zsysia japonica Alisca nthus sinensis, Mt.

Theoretical equation to calculate thermal fatigue life was derived in which slow crack growth theory was adopted. The equation is function of crack growth exponent n. Cyclic thermal fatigue tests were performed at temperature difference of 175, 187 and 200$^{\circ}C$ respectively. At each temperature difference critical thermal fatigue life cycles of the alumina ceramics were 180,37 and 7 cycles. And theoretical thermal fatigue life cycles were calculated as 172, 35 and 7 cycles at the same temperature difference conditions. Therefore thermal fatigue behavior of alumina ceramics can be represented by derived equation. Also theoretical single cycle critical thermal shock temperature difference can be calculated by this equation and the result was consistent with the experimental result well.

The paper describes and quantifies the wastes arising in the nuclear fuel cycle for Light Water Reactors, Heavy Water Reactors and Fast Breeder Reactors. The management and disposal technologies are indicated, together with their environmental impacts. Both once-through and uranium-plutonium recycle systems are evaluated, and comparisons are made on the basis of tingle reference technologies for waste management, and for one gigawatt/year of electricity generation. Environmental impacts are assessed, particularly that of health and safety, and a reference costing system is applied purely as a basis for comparing the fuel cycles. From this study it call be concluded generally that the relative differences of the impacts of waste management and disposal between the selected fuel cycles are not decisive factors in choosing a fuel cycle. Employing the technologies assumed, the radioactive wastes from any of the fuel cycles studied can be managed and disposed of with a high degree of safety and without undue risk to man or the environment. The cost of waste management and disposal is only a few percent of the value of the electricity generated and does not vary greatly between fuel cycles.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to report the effect of Gobonjibung-tang on menorrhagia diagnosed as Qi deficiency. Methods: The patients had menorrhagia caused by adenomyosis and multiple uterus myoma. We diagnosed them as Qi deficiency and treated with Gobonjibung-tang for two weeks from a week before the menstruation. And during the rest period they were treated with Bojungikgi-tang or Ikgibohyeol-tang. After three menstrual cycles, we observed whether the amount of menstruation keep reduced for two menstrual cycles. Results: Amount of menstruation were reduced during three menstrual cycles with taking herbal medicine and two menstrual cycles without taking herbal medicine. As a result of contacting with patients 4~6 months after treatment, the amount of menstruation was maintained at a reduced state. Conclusions: Gobonjibung-tang is effective in patients with menorrhagia diagnosed as Qi deficiency and the effect is continuous.

The physicochemical properties of deodeok (Codonopsis lanceolate) was investigated in relation to the different steaming time and cycles of steaming and drying (S/D). Additionally, the quality characteristics of Makgeolli with different amount (0-0.45%) of steaming and drying deodeok (SD) were measured comparison to non-steaming and drying deodeok (NSD). L⁎ values of deodeok tended to decrease as the number of S/D cycles and steaming times increased, while BI showed the opposite trend for L⁎ values. Reducing sugar increased significantly from 1 to 3 S/D cycles and decreased thereafter (p<0.05). Also, processed with steaming for 4 h and 5 S/D cycles had the highest antioxidant properties. Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed that the S/D process notably influenced the properties of deodeok. Quality characteristics of Makgeolli showed that 0.45% SD resulted in higher antioxidant properties than control or NSD.
