The present study addresses the direct and indirect methods of determining the mode-I fracture toughness of concrete using experimental tests and particle flow code. The direct method used is compaction tensile test and the indirect methods are notched Brazilian disc test, semi-circular bend specimen test, and hollow center cracked disc. The experiments were carried out to determine which indirect method yields the fracture toughness closer to the one obtained by the direct method. In the numerical analysis, the PFC model was first calibrated with respect to the data obtained from the Brazilian laboratory test. The crack paths observed in the simulated tests were in reasonable accordance with experimental results. The discrete element simulations demonstrated that the macro fractures in the models are caused by microscopic tensile breakages on large numbers of bonded particles. The mode-I fracture toughness in the direct tensile test was smaller than the indirect testing results. The fracture toughness obtained from the SCB test was closer to the direct test results. Hence, the semi-circular bend test is recommended as a proper experiment for determination of mode-I fracture toughness of concrete in the absence of direct tests.

This study was designrd to determination factors of purchase expansion for environment-friendly agricultural products on consumers. The 310 subjects formatted questionnaires were analyzed to frequency, percentage, descriptives, T-test and logistic regression by SPSS WIN 10.0. The results were as follows : First, it is proved that degree of cognition, standard of information acquisition, basis of valuation were significant variables, Second, it is revealed that the producer and the direct deal, the consumer organization's co-op and the food floor of large-sized discount hoarded goods for purchase places of environment-friendly agricultural products were significant variables. Third, it is proved that reduction in a price the improvement matter for purchase expansion of environment-friendly agricultural products was determination factors. Forth, it is proved that age and income for purchase expansion of environment-friendly agricultural products was determination factors. Accordingly, we should find the positive factors of purchase and consumption that it will become an important subject for environment-friendly agricultural products on consumers.

A simple and rapid spectrophotometric method has been developed to enable the determination of plutonium concentration in an irradiated fuel solution in the presence of all fission products. An excess of ceric ammonium nitrate solution was employed to oxidize all the valence states of plutonium to +6 oxidation state. Interference due to the presence of fission products such as ruthenium and zirconium, and corrosion products such as iron in the envisaged concentration range, as in the irradiated fuel solution, was studied in the determination of plutonium concentration by the direct spectrophotometric method. The stability of plutonium in +6 oxidation state was monitored under experimental conditions as a function of time. Results obtained are reproducible, and this method is applicable to radioactive samples resulting before the solvent extraction process during the reprocessing of fast reactor spent fuel. An analysis of the concentration of plutonium shows a relative standard deviation of <1.2% in standard as well as in simulated conditions. This reflects the fast reactor fuel composition with respect to uranium, plutonium, fission products such as ruthenium and zirconium, and corrosion products such as iron.

수용가 시스템에서 발생하는 아크고장은 전기화재의 직접적인 원인이 되지만 기존의 고장검출 메커니즘으로는 확인이 어렵다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 전기화재의 주 원인이 되고 있는 아크고장의 원인을 분석하고 아크고장 기본 검출 메커니즘을 설계하였다. 또한 아크고장 판단의 정확도를 제고시킴으로써 오동작을 최소화할 수 있는 신호처리 기반의 아크고장 판단 방법론을 제안하였다. 끝으로, 하나의 돌입전류에 대해 이산 프리에 변환(DFT)과 이산 웨이블릿 변환(DWT)을 적용, 그 특성을 분석함으로써 신호척리 기반 고장판단 기법의 적용 방법론을 보였다.

The horizontal geo-location accuracy of KOMPSAT-2, without GCPs (Ground Control Points) is 80 meters CE90 for monoscopic image of up to 26 degrees off-nadir angle, after processing including POD (Precise Orbit Determination), PAD(Precise Attitude Determination) and AOCS (Attitude and Orbit Control Subsystem) sensor calibration. In case of multiple stereo images, without GCPs, the vertical geometric accuracy is less than 22.4 meters LE 90 and the horizontal geometric accuracy is less than 25.4 meters. There are two types of sensor model for KOMPSAT-2, direct sensor model and Rational Function Model (RFM). In general, a sensor model relates object coordinates to image coordinates The major objective of this investigation is to check and verify the geometrical performance when initial KOMPSAT-2 images are employed and briefly introduce the sensor model of KOMPSAT-2.

Polypyrrole (PPy) nanotubes have been synthesized by chemical oxidative polymerization of pyrrole within the pores of polycarbonate membrane using the technology of diffusion of solutes. The nanotubes array prepared by the proposed method can be considered as nanoelectrode ensembles (NEEs). An amperometric uric acid sensor based on PPy NEEs has been developed and used for determination of uric acid in human serum samples. The electrode can direct response to uric acid at potential of 0.60V vs. SCE with wide linear range of $1.52{\times}10^{-6}\;to\;1.54{\times}10^{-3}\;M.\;The\;detection\;limit\;is \;3.02{\times}10^{-7}$ M. This sensor has been used to determine uric acid in real serum samples. PPy NEEs is thought of as a good application in the foreground.

This study was intended to determine the inertia , damping and stiffness properties of the cab-suspension of agricultural tractors by applying the direct system identification method (DSIM). Since the rigid and elastic modes of the cab-suspension are not likely to be separated clearly, direct application of the DSIM may result in large computation error. To solve such a problem, a method of locating mass center of the cab were determined by assuming the behavior of the cab-suspension is a rigid body motion. The dynamic parameters of the cab-suspension were then determined by applying the DSIM with the known coordinates of the mass center. The constraints of spatial matrices of the cab-suspension also make the algorithm for the DSIM perform better. The values of dynamic parameters determined by this method agreed well with those determined by the experiment.
