This paper summarizes the results of a study which has quantified the evolution of the structure of sands adjacent to geomembranes of varying roughness at different stages of shearing. The results show that the structure evolution, and hence shear mechanisms for rounded uniform sands adjacent to geomembranes, are directly influenced by the surface roughness of the geomembranes. For smooth geomembranes, the shear mechanism predominantly involves sliding of sand particles and only affects the sand structure within two particle diameters of the geomembrane. For slightly textured geomembranes, the effects of interlocking and dilation of sand particles extends the zone of evolution to four particles diameters from the interface. For moderately/heavily textured geomembranes, the interlocking and dilation of sand particles is fully developed and results in large dilation in the interfacial zone, which extends up to six particle diameters from the interface. By understanding how the structure of the sand adjacent to geomembranes of different roughness changes during shearing, it may be possible to identify alternative geomembrane roughening procedures and patterns that can lead to more efficient interface designs.

Netherlands had suggested a uniform system to standardize and simplify EDI systems relating to the Arrival/Departure, stay, and clearance of ships, persons, and cargoes for the Facilitation of International Maritime Transport to the International Maritime Organization(IMO). Republic of Korea proposed the Framework of XML-based Single Window System for the simplified clearance of ships to the 32nd session of Facilitation Committee of the IMO. Accordingly the authors studied that the XML Infrastructure for Single Window efficiently supports the Single Window service and the business collaboration between business entities of logistics. The proposed XML Infrastructure designs to support the various document format translation and to easily manage. Therefore business entity using the proposed system has the effect of downing the resource and costs on using Single Window.

Since the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century, the production system adopted mechanization and mass production to popularize and standardize overall society. The architectural space removed basic desire of men on the decoration to neglect historical and regional continuity of the architecture and to make uniform designs, so that human sensibility and emotion were excluded. The architectural space had arbitrary and functionalism features in accordance with such a social change to display abstract space having no personality. The limitation expanded value of the space that was not lot possession and residence but for communication with men to express object factors. However, the object factors of the space were expressed in each factor consisting of either material factors or non-material factors. This study investigated interaction of the space by both expressive interaction and potential interaction to find out key words for making frames of the investigation and to examine cases comprehensively. The purpose of the study was to recover relations between the space and men in horizontal way and mutual communication and to present possibility integrating men and space.

This paper designs the optimal PID controller for load frequency control on 2-area power system. Genetic algorithm is utilized to optimize parameters of PID controller which is applied to power system. Using two-point crossover, uniform crossover and one-point crossover, Search performance of genetic algorithm with each crossover method is considered. In case of load variation in 1-area, the dynamic characteristic of power system is considered. The simulation results show that the proposed PID controller is better control performance than PID controller using Ziegler-Nichols method.

This work involves a method for modeling the flow distribution in the stack of a solid oxide fuel cell. Towards this end, a three dimensional modeling of the flow through a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) stack was carried out using the CFD analysis. This paper examines the efficacy of using cold flow analysis to describe the flow through a SOFC stack. It brings out the relative importance of temperature effect and the mass transfer effect on the SOFC manifold design. Another feature of this study is to utilize statistical tools to ascertain the extent of uniform flow through a stack. The results showed that the cold flow analysis of flow through SOFC might not lead to correct manifold designs. The results of the numerical calculations also indicated that the mass transfer across membrane was essential to correctly describe the cathode flow, while only temperature effects were sufficient to describe the anode flow in a SOFC.

The severe frontal crash tests are NCAP with belted occupant at 35mph and FMVSS 208 with unbelted occupant at 25mph, This paper describes the design process of occupant protection systems, airbag and seat belt, under the two tests. In this study, NCAP simulations are performed by Monte Carlo search method and cluster analysis. The Monte Carlo search method is a global optimization technique and requires execution of a series of deterministic analyses, The procedure is as follows. 1) Define the region of interest 2) Perform Monte Carlo simulation with uniform distribution 3) Transform output to obtain points grouped around the local minima 4) Perform cluster analysis to obtain groups that are close to each other 5) Define the several feasible design ranges. The several feasible designs are acquired and checked under FMVSS 208 simulation with unbelted occupant at 25mph.

The cooling of data centers has emerged as a significant challenge as the density of IT server increases. Server installations, along with the shrinking physical size of servers and storage systems, has resulted in high power density and high heat density. The introduction of high density enclosures into a data center creates the potential for "hot spots" within the room that the cooling system may not be able to address, since traditional designs assume relatively uniform cooling patterns within a data center. The cooling system for data center consists of a CRAC or CRAH unit and the associated air distribution system. It is the configuration of the distribution system that primarily distinguishes the different types of data center cooling systems, this is the main subject of this paper.

It was required Integrated Network Management Architecture(INMA) with consistency and standardization in order to support efficiently communication service for operators and users. In such ITU-T(International Telecommunication Union - Telecommunication) recommended TMN(Telecommunication Management Network) which is Network management architecture for telecommunication, and intended to achieve uniform and comprehensive network management using standardized network management interface. This paper proposes C31 management services and management functions based on ITU-T and RACE project. This designs C31 INMA based on TMN concept in order to manage efficiently C31 communication network. The C31 INMA supports to manage C31 LAN and WAN devices and lines with global and correspondence, and helps Integrated Network Management system design and implementation.

Functional requirements and design parameters were not clarified in the early design process. Design axiom shows some difficulty for larger system designs, such as the butterfly valve, which is basically carried out by an incremental and iterative process. A numerical analysis was carried out on fluid flows in a butterfly valve, by using ANSYS-FLOTRAN. Characteristics of the butterfly flows at different valve disk opening angles, with a uniform incoming velocity, were investigated. The entire analysis is decomposed to satisfy the independence axiom. This paper resolves the problems associated with the establishment of a systematic design process.

A non-uniform finite-difference Thin Film Transistor Simulation Program (TFTSP) has been developed for hydrogenated amorphous silicon TFTs. TFTSP was developed to remove as many of simplifying assumptions as possible and to provide flexibility in the modeling of TFTs so that different model assumptions may be analyzed and compared. In order to insure its usefulness and versatility as an analytic and design tool it is important for the code to satisfy a number of conditions. However, at the beginning stage of the program development, this paper shows that the code can compute the static terminal characteristics of a-Si:H TFTs under a wide range of bias conditions to allow for comparison of the model with experiment. Some of those comparisons include transfer characteristics and I-V characteristics. TFTSP will be refined to conveniently model the performances of TFTs of different designs and to analyze many anomalous behaviors and factors of a-Si:H TFTs.
