Recently, a stability theorem for the Feynman integral as a bounded linear operator on$ L_2$($R^{d}$ /) with respect to measures whose positive and negative variations are in the generalized Kato class was proved. We study a stability theorem for the Feynman integral with respect to measures whose positive variations are in the class of $\sigma$-finite smooth measures and negative variations are in the generalized Kato class. This extends the recent result in the sense that the class of $\sigma$-finite smooth measures properly contains the generalized Kato class.

SG-365 steel is an important material and used for manufacturing a pressure vessel which the gas piping. In this investigation, the elastic plastic fracture toughness of this material is evaluated by the an unloading compliance method according to the ATM E813-97 method on the smooth and side groove 1CT specimens. The effect of smooth and side groove is studied on the elastic plastic fracture toughness. The side grooved specimen is very useful in estimation of the $J_IC. Because it is much easier than the smooth specimen to the onset of the ductile tearing by the R curve method. Besides, it improves the accuracy of toughness values, decreases the scattering of them and tunneling and shear lip by the side groove.

In this study, the run-up height and reflection property on slopes of S-berm and smooth slopes breakwaters are investigated by laboratory experiment. The run-up height analyzed the effect of reflection coefficient, surf similarity parameter. Measured reflection coefficients of smooth slope breakwaters are compared with those of S-berm breakwater with variable widths. In general, measured coefficients of S-berm breakwaters are smaller than those of smooth slope breakwaters.

Molecular imaging with targeted contrast agents enables tissues to be distinguished by detecting specific cell-surface receptors. In the present study, a ligand-targeted acoustic nanoparticle system is used to identify angioplasty-induced expression of tissue factor by smooth muscle cell within carotid arteries. Pig carotid arteries were overstretched with balloon catheters, treated with tissue factor-targeted or a control nanoparticle system, and imaged with intravascular ultrasound before and after treatment. Tissue factor-targeted emulsion bound and increased the echogenicity and gray-scale levels of overstretched smooth muscle cell within the tunica media, versus no change in contralateral control arteries. Expression of stretch-induced tissue factor in carotid artery media was confirmed by immunohistochemistry. The potential for abnormal thrombogenicity of balloon-injured arteries, as reflected by smooth muscle expression of tissue factor, was imaged using a novel, targeted, nanoparticulate ultrasonic contrast agent.

For the deposition of the semiconductor nanocrystals or quantum dots, it is required to have the substrates with smooth surface roughness. Slot-die coating method wad adopted and optimized varying the processing parameters like coating speed, gap distance, solution concentration, etc to get the smooth coated films on flexible substrates. The coating speed in slot-die method was varied from 1 m/min to 2.5 m/min focusing especially on its industrial usage. The gap distance between the substrate surface and slot-die lip was changed also to control mainly the thickness of coated films.

An experimental investigation was performed to compare ice making characteristics of ice storage system with smooth and spiral tube. During the freezing processes in the shell and tube type ice storage tank with smooth tube, heat resistance of the ice layer caused a decrease in freezing rate. Also, the phenomena of bridging made the increasing rate of ice making less. In order to improve the ice making rate, spiral tube(pitch=6mm) was used in the present study. The ice making rate and the decreasing of bridging for the spiral tube were higher than those for the smooth tube.

Path planning algorithms are used to allow mobile robots to avoid obstacles and find ways from a start point to a target point. The general path planning algorithm focused on constructing of collision free path. However, a high continuous path can make smooth and efficiently movements. To improve the continuity of the path, the searched waypoints are connected by the proposed polynomial interpolation. The existing polynomial interpolation methods connect two points. In this paper, point groups are created with three points. The point groups have each polynomial. Polynomials are made by matching the differential values and simple matrix calculation. Membership functions are used to distribute the weight of each polynomial at overlapped sections. As a result, the path has $G^2$ continuity. In addition, the proposed method can analyze path numerically to obtain curvature and heading angle. Moreover, it does not require complex calculation and databases to save the created path.

This study was carried out to install the lifting force of a two hinge type stand mechanism by 6 Sigma process in advance. This unit is designed for the display device in order to enhance the ergonomics for effective height adjustment and maintenance at any preferred position. The unit will be very useful for the mechanism fabricated with coil springs and disc springs as a torque generator. The 6 Sigma process was applied to select two key factors among 7 elements to lift the head unit and to find out applicable tolerance securing the 3.4 ppm of defects as well as what deviation of lifting force we can expect between calculation and experiment at the design stage of development. The result of this study can be applied to various units for the optimization of the smooth lift.

Fragility and loss functions are developed to predict damage and economic losses due to earthquake loading in Reinforced Concrete (RC) structural components with smooth rebars. The attention is focused on external/internal beam-column joints and ductile/brittle weak columns, designed for gravity loads only, using low-strength concrete and plain steel reinforcing bars. First, a number of damage states are proposed and linked deterministically with commonly employed methods of repair and related activities. Results from previous experimental studies are used to develop empirical relationships between damage states and engineering demand parameters, such as interstory and column drift ratios. Probability distributions are fit to the empirical data and the associated statistical parameters are evaluated using statistical methods. Repair costs for damaged RC components are then estimated based on detailed quantity survey of a number of pre-70 RC buildings, using Italian costing manuals. Finally, loss functions are derived to predict the level of monetary losses to individual RC components as a function of the experienced response demand.
