Combustion oriented noise is a part of engine noise, which is mainly determined by the in-cylinder pressure profile and the structure attenuation of an engine. A numerical model for predicting the in-cylinder pressure profile and the resultant combustion noise developed by the use of a commercial code. The model is experimentally validated and updated based on the performance as well as the noise by considering the fuel injection timing, the fuel injection rate, Cetane number, intake temperature, and compression ratio. For providing a design guide of a fuel injector for a low combustion noise engine model, the optimal parameters of injection pressure profile, injection rate profile, and injection timing are determined, which gives the 5 dBA noise reduction.

In the various fields of Civil Engineering, shear modulus is very important input parameters to design many constructions and to analyze ground behaviors. In general, a shear wave velocity profile is decided by various experiments before constructing a structure and, analysis and design are carried out by using decided shear wave velocity profile of the site. However, if civil structures are started to construct, the shear wave velocity will be increased more than before constructions because of confining pressure increase by the load of structure. The evaluation of the change in shear wave velocity profile is used very importantly when maintaining, managing, reinforcing and regenerating existing structures. In this study, a non-destructively geotechnical investigation method by using the HWAW method is applied to an evaluation of change in properties of the site according to construction. Generally, the space for experiments is narrow when underground of existing or on-going structures is evaluate, so a prompt non-destructive experiment is required. This prompt non-destructive experiment would be performed by various in-situ seismic methods. However, most of in-situ seismic methods need more space for experiments, so it is difficult to be applied. The HWAW method using the Harmonic wavelet transforms, which is based on time-frequency analysis, determines shear wave velocity profile. It consists of a source as well as short receiver spacing that is 1~3m, and is able to determine a shear wave velocity profile from surface to deep depth by one test on a space. As the HWAW method uses only the signal portion of the maximum local signal/noise ratio to determine a profile, it provides reliability shear modulus profile such as under construction or noisy situation by minimizing effects of noise from diverse vibration on a construction site or urban area. To estimate the applicability of the proposed method, field tests were performed in the change of geotechnical properties according to constructing a minimized modeling bent. Through this study, the change of geotechnical properties of the site was effectively evaluated according to construction of a structure.

In this paper, a modified Alford loop antenna for on-body communication system is proposed. The proposed antenna operating in the ISM band is designed with consideration of human body effect. One of advantages of the Alford loop antenna structure is low-profile, however the Alford loop antenna is not suitable for on-body devices since it does not have a ground plane for other electronic part of on-body system and requires balanced feeding structure. To be embedded on on-body devices, the proposed antenna is design with the unbalanced feed structure and ground. The performance of the proposed antenna is simulated and measured when it is placed on the human body phantom to consider the effect of the human body. The proposed antenna a 10 dB return loss bandwidth over the ISM band and monopole-like radiation pattern with low-profile. The antenna has the surface of appropriate for on-body communication environment.

The 1-D finite-element mehtod is applied for designing double-clad otpical fibers with dispersion-compensation capability. design parameters allowing only a $LP_{01}$ single mode are treated and macro-bending loss are taken into consideration. Design parameters are extracted to have the compensation ratio $(L_{SMF}/L_{DCF})$ of 6.2 for core structure with step-index profile, and of 5.2 for core with triangular-index profile.

In this study, it is first intended to simulate the vertical profile of atmospheric flow in a short wind tunnel. In order to accomplish it, proper devices are designed properly to reduce freestream flow momentum and it is confirmed from the measured velocity profile using hot-wire anemometer that momentum flux of the tunnel free stream can be reduced and desired atmospheric boundary can be created. Second, experiments are performed to identify influences of a surrounding structure measuring correct wind velocity by an anemometer, which are located nearby due to area limitation in actual airport and correction factors are proposed from experimental results. One of findings is that in order to limit the velocity attenuation due to a nearby structure under 10%, wind velocity measuring equipment should be installed at least 6 times of the structure height away from the structure of concern.

We present the results for the design ofantireflection (AR) coatings on facets of a multilayered structure waveguide device. The method, whose results agree very well with the reusults of the rigorous method in the case of a symmetric three layer structure deveice, is extended for the design of AR coatings on the facets of a multilayered structure waveguide device. the field profile in a multilayered structure waveguide necessary for the use of the extended method is obtained from the transfer matrix method. The virtual four layered structure method (VFLM) is proposed to reduce the time for the design ofAR coatings because the time for the design of AR coatings using the extended method increases as the number of layers increases. The optimum coating parameters and tolerance mapsfor two different six layered waveguide devices in Ref. [9] and [10] are obtained using the extendedmethod and the VFLM,and for the three different cases approximated as three layered waveguide devices to compare the results of each case. The results of the VFLM are similar to those of the extended methodcompared to those of the three layered structure waveguide. The main reason for the above results is that the field profile in the device calculated usingthe VFLM is similar to that calculated using the extended method compared to that for three layered structure wavegjide. We conclude that the extended method or VFLM should be used for the design of AR coatings on facets of a deice required for the facet reflectivity less than 10$^{-3}$ such as a semiconductor otical amplifier.

To investigate the importance of the hydrophobic interaction in the spermine-induced collapse of DNA to a compact structure, the effect of urea on the anomalous absorbance-temperature profile of calf thymus DNA has been investigated. With the increase of the urea concentration, the trough phase of the anomalous absorbance-temperature profile was eliminated eventually. The cooperativity, enthalpy, and the midpoint of the transition to the trough region are more sensitive to urea than those of the Tm-region transition. The present data of the adverse effect of urea, a hydrophobic environmental reagent, on the thermal stabilization of the condensed state of DNA, suggest that hydrophobic interaction may play an important role in the stabilization of the tertiary structure of the collapsed state of DNA.

The respiratory quinone profile was used as a tool for the study on microbial community structure in the mine tailings of abandoned mines over the depth. For the study, the area of Jingok mine located in Bongwha, Korea has been selected. The distributions of Cd, Cu, Pb, Al, Fe and Mn showed the following common patterns; the highest values in the upper part of mine failings (0-20 cm), rapid decrease with increasing depth. The dominant quinone species of the mine tailings were UQ-9 followed by UQ-10, suggesting that microbes had contributed to heavy metal degradation. The quinone contents in mine tailings ranged from 5.0 to 24.9 nmol/kg. The microbial diversity in the upper part of mine tailings (0-40 cm) was higher than that of lower part of mine tailings (100-120 cm).

The differences in microbial community structures between planktonic microorganism and biofilm in rivers were investigated using respiratory quinone profiles. The compositions of microbial quinone for 4 tributaries of the Kyongan Stream located in/flowing through Yongin City, Gyeonggi-Do were analyzed. Ubiquinone(UQ)-8, UQ-9, menaquinone(MK)-6 and Plastoquinone(PQ)-9 were observed in all samples of planktonic microorganism and biofilm for the sites investigated, Most planktonic microorganism and biofilm had UQ-8(15 to 30%) and PQ-9(over 30%) as the dominant quinone type. These results indicated that oxygenic phototrophic microbes(cyanobacteria and/or eukaryotic phytoplankton) and UQ-8 containing proteobacteria constituted major microbial populations in the river. The quinone concentration in the river waters tested, which reflects the concentration of planktonic microorganisms, increases with increasing DOC. Further research into this is required. The microbial diversities of planktonic microorganism and biofilm calculated based on the composition of all quinones were in the range from 4.2 to 7.5, which was lower than those for activated sludge(ranging from 11 to 14.8) and soils(ranging from 13.4 to 16.8). The use of quinone profile appears to be a useful tool for the analysis of microbial community structure in river.
