Finite element method (FEM) provides several advantages over other numerical methods such as boundary element method, since it allows truly volumetric analysis and incorporation of realistic electrical conductivity values. Finite element mesh generation is the first requirement in such in FEM to represent the volumetric domain of interest with numerous finite elements accurately. However, conventional mesh generators and approaches offered by commercial packages do not generate meshes that are content-adaptive to the contents of given images. In this paper, we present software that has been implemented to generate content-adaptive finite element meshes (cMESHes) based on the contents of MR images. The software offers various computational tools for cMESH generation from multi-slice MR images. The software named as the Content-adaptive FE Mesh Generation Toolbox runs under the commercially available technical computation software called Matlab. The major routines in the toolbox include anisotropic filtering of MR images, feature map generation, content-adaptive node generation, Delaunay tessellation, and MRI segmentation for the head conductivity modeling. The presented tools should be useful to researchers who wish to generate efficient mesh models from a set of MR images. The toolbox is available upon request made to the Functional and Metabolic Imaging Center or Bio-imaging Laboratory at Kyung Hee University in Korea.

In this study, a new functional based on the Reissner theory, for thick plates on a Winkler foundation is obtained. This functional has geometric and dynamic boundary conditions. In deriving the new functional, the $G{\hat{a}}teaux$ differential is used. This functional which is in polar coordinates is also transformable into the classical potential energy equation. Bending and torsional moments, transverse shear forces, rotations and displacements are the basic unknowns of the functional. Two different sectorial elements are developed with $3{\times}8$ degrees of freedom (SEC24) and $4{\times}8$ degrees of freedom (SEC32). The accuracy of the SEC24 and SEC32 elements together are verified by applying the method to some problems taken from literature.

The Functional Element SNPs Database (FESD) categorizes functional elements in human genic regions and provides a set of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located within each area. Users may select a set of SNPs in specific functional elements with haplotype information and obtain flanking sequences for genotyping. Our previous version of FESD has been improved in several ways. We regenerated all the data in FESD II from recently updated source data such as HapMap, UCSC GoldenPath, dbSNP, OMIM, and $TRANSFAC^{(R)}$. Users can obtain information about tagSNPs and simulate LD blocks for each gene from four ethnicities in the HapMap project on the fly. FESD II employs a Java/JSP web interface for better platform portability and higher speed than PHP in the previous version. As a result, FESD II provides its users with more powerful information about functional element SNPs of human ethnicities.

This paper proposes a functional simulation algorithm which decrease the internal memory space and run time in simulation of VLSI. Flip-flop, register, ram, rom, ic and fun are described as functional elements in the simulator. Especially icf is made as new functional element by combining the gate and the functional element, therefore icf is used efficiently in simulation of VLSI. The proposed algorithm is implemented on PC-AT(MS-DOS) in by Prolog-1.

For the propagation of elastic waves in unbounded domains, absorbing boundary conditions at the fictitious numerical boundaries have been proposed. Paraxial boundary conditions(PBCs) which are kinds of absorbing boundary conditions based on paraxial approximations of the scalar and elastic wave equations not only lead to well-posed problem but also are stable and computationally inexpensive. But the complex mathematical forms of PBCs with partial derivatives complicate the application of those to finite element analysis. In this paper a penalty functional is newly proposed for applying PBCs into finite element analysis and the existence and uniqueness of the extremum of the proposed functional is demonstrated. The numerical verification of the efficiency is carried out through comparing PBCs with a viscous boundary condition.

To achieve appropriate stresses, two new rectangular elements are presented in this study. For reaching this aim, a complementary energy functional is used within an element for the analysis of plane problems. In this energy form, the Airy stress function will be used as a functional variable. Besides, some basic analytical solutions are found for the stress functions. These trial functions are matched with each element number of degrees of freedom, which leads to a number of equations with the anonymous constants. Subsequently, according to the principle of minimum complementary energy, the unknown constants can be expressed in terms of displacements. This system can be rewritten in terms of the nodal displacement. In this way, two new hybrid-rectangular triangular elements are formulated, which have 16 and 40 degrees of freedom. To validate the outcomes, extensive numerical studies are performed. All findings clearly demonstrate accuracies of structural displacements, as well as, stresses.

본 논문에서는 평판 두께 방향의 선형 및 비선형 응력 분포를 일정한 크기의 단순응력 상태로 가정하는 분할판(Two-element plate) 개념을 이용하여 비선형 특성을 나타내는 평판의 강도해석을 할 수 있는 Reissner 범함수와, 재질 특성은 선형이면서 기하학적 비선형 특성만을 갖는 평판의 강도해석을 할 수 있는 변형 Reissner 범함수를 모델링하였다. 두 종류의 Reissner 범함수들을 근거로 하여 축방향 하중을 받는 평판의 선형 좌굴과 좌굴후의 비선형 특성 및 최대강도들을 계산할 수 있는 유한요소 방정식과 프로그램 개발을 시도하였다. 개발한 프로그램을 이용한 수치해석 결과, 분할판 이론을 사용한 선형좌굴해석 결과가 기존의 평판이론을 사용한 선형좌굴해석 결과와 유사항 경향을 나타냄으로써 분할판 이론에 근거한 유한요소법을 하중과 경계조건 및 구성재질이 다양한 일반적인 평판의 강도해석에 확대 적용함은 물론 좌굴후 비선형재질 특성으로 인한 평판의 최대강도도 예측 가능하다고 생각한다.

The structural and functional roles of IGS element of T4 td intron in thymidylate synthase activity in vivo were investigated Site-directed mutagenesis was employed to crete mutations of IGS element of T4 td intron, When a U-G pari was changed to a U-C pari in the 5' splice site of P1 stem of td intron, the activity of thymidylate synthase was completely abolished whereas the wild type retained the normal activity of enzyme. When U at 12 position within IGS element was changed to C, the activity of thymidylate synthase was approximately 32% of that of the wild type. Comparison of enzyme activities suggests that IGS element within P1 structure is an essential requirement for splicing of td gene in vivo.

Let G be a group and $\mathbb{C}$ the field of complex numbers. Suppose ${\sigma}:G{\rightarrow}G$ is an endomorphism satisfying ${{\sigma}}({{\sigma}}(x))=x$ for all x in G. In this paper, we first determine the central solution, f : G or $G{\times}G{\rightarrow}\mathbb{C}$, of the functional equation $f(xy)+f({\sigma}(y)x)=2f(x)+2f(y)$ for all $x,y{\in}G$, which is a variant of the quadratic functional equation. Using the central solution of this functional equation, we determine the general solution of the functional equation f(pr, qs) + f(sp, rq) = 2f(p, q) + 2f(r, s) for all $p,q,r,s{\in}G$, which is a variant of the equation f(pr, qs) + f(ps, qr) = 2f(p, q) + 2f(r, s) studied by Chung, Kannappan, Ng and Sahoo in [3] (see also [16]). Finally, we determine the solutions of this equation on the free groups generated by one element, the cyclic groups of order m, the symmetric groups of order m, and the dihedral groups of order 2m for $m{\geq}2$.
