Limb center variations of some fifty faint Fraunhofer lines were measured for cosθ=1.0, 0.8, 0.6, 0.4, 0.3, and 0.2, and it was found that, statistically, lines with η decreasing more rapidly with depth show stronger limb strengthening as compared with those with η of slower decrease. Limb center variations were calculated for three types of η variation at λ5100A, and they were compared with those measured by Adam.

For this paper, the authors designed three types of SURFACE PIERCING PROPELLERS. Each propeller was constructed with a different type of blade section, -shaped, one crescent-shaped, and one with an improved wedge shape. We checked the propeller's performance around the planned ship speed and also the performance in the astern direction. In order to study the possibility for improvement in lowermedium speed performance, additional model tests were conducted with the submersion ratio, which strongly influences lower-midium performance, changed. Lastly, the authors verified that in an actual vessel, where the submersion ratio can be adjusted by changing the propeller shaft's inclination angle, the performance of the SURFACE PIERCING PROPELLER was improved.

This note presents a comparative study of geosynthetic reinforced slope analyses. The comparison is between predictions of a finite element (FE) method and a limit equilibrium (LE) method. The comparisons are limited to the potential failure surface and the maximum tensile force developed in the geosynthetic reinforcement layers. These two items signify the design output in the LE analysis of geosynthetic reinforced slopes. The agreement between EE and LE methods is found to be reasonably good in terms of both location of critical slip surfaces and required strength of reinforcement.

We have investigated about limitation of line width in surface modification of polystyrene for nerve cell adhesion and neurite outgrowth by carbon negative-ion implantation. Carbon negative ions were implanted into polystyrene film on glass at 10 keV with 3 x 10^15 ions/cm^2 through a double-mask set with array of ridge shaped apertures gradually changing the width from 50 to 0 nm. The polystyrene film was prepared three times by spin coating with 7% PS in toluene at a speed of 1,000 rpm. After seeding on the modified SCPS sample, nerve-like cells of PC-12h were cultured with DMEM medium including 10% serum for 2 days in an incubator with 5%CO2 air flow at 37°C. Then, the cells were cultured for more 2 days in the incubator after replacing the serum DMEM medium to serum-free DMEM. As a result, the cell body adhered on the ion implanted area with the minimum width of 7 nm, and neurite outgrowth was observed also observed only on the ion implanted area m1til the width of 5 nm.

Basic Characteristic of mechanical bonding process using divided plastic flow is investigated in this paper. This bonding process can be applicable to the bonding of any combination metals such as bonding of aluminum and steel. It could be utilized not only to join structural steels but also to manufacture clad sheet continuously within rolling process. Basic characteristic of proposed bonding process is investigated through a series of bonding experiments using aluminum alloy and plain carbon steel, and effects of geometries of bonding part on divided plastic flow and bonding strength are clarified. Through the investigation, it has become clear that sound bonding of aluminum alloys and steel can be realized under cold forming temperature. Better bonding characteristics could be obtained if we optimize geometry of bonding part.

Ljungstrom Turbo-generater にては、電氣的機械的に均齋なる二箇發電機の回轉子が、反對方向に廻轉するタービン回轉子に直結されて、電氣的に均齊なる固定子内側を、反對方向に回轉す。回轉子の勵磁回路は直列に、固定子回路に並列に連絡され、勵磁機は一方側にのみ直結され、一箇の勵磁抵抗器によりて勵磁電流を調整ぜらる。
勵磁電流が一定の極限以下にある時は、兩側の回轉力及び回轉體の質量の差異の爲めに、兩側回轉子の最終平衡速度に差異を生ず。1000～3000KWの二極のものに就て見ろに、600r.p.m.乃至800r.p.m.の速度の差異を生ず。然れども勵磁電流な増して一定の極限を超過すれば、兩側發電機は其の儘同期速度に入る。普通構造のturbo generatcrにありては、600～800/3600×2×100=8-12%の如き大なる速度の差異ある時には、其儘にては同期速度に入る事に殆ど不可能なり。
一般に電氣的に並列に連結されたる、周波数異る二箇の發電機間には、energyに一定の方向に運轉されずして、周期的に方向を變換するものなり。高速度側より低速度側にenergyを供給する間は、二箇發電機の速度は互に近づかんとし、低速度側より高速度側にenergyを供給する間は速度は益々遠ざからんとし、此の關係が交代に働く故に、速度が近きたると同じ程度に、次の半周期間には速度遠ざかりて、永久に同期速度に合調する期無し。然るにLjungstrom Turbo genern-terの回轉子に見る如き、楔に依りて溝成さるゝ電氣回路の作用を考ふる時は、高速度側より低速度側に一定方向のenergyの運輸な生する關係を生す。而して此のenergyは速度の差に殆ど比例して、兩側速度の差が滅少すれば此のenergyも減少すれども、速度の差異微少なる時に有利に作く發電子反作用と相俟ちて、益々速度差異を減じて、同期發電機の所謂限界速度以内に達すれば、兩側發電機は急激に同期速度に入るべし。以下當所製作の實例に就きて、同期發電機の限界速度差異と、楔回路に依りて生するenergy從つて回轉力に依りて生ずる最終速度差異とに就きて次の如く各項に分ちて論ぜんとす。

To accurately evaluate and manage future distributed wireless networks, it is indispensable to fully understand cooperative propagation channels. In this contribution, we propose cascaded multi-keyhole channel models for analyzing cooperative diversity wireless communications. The cascaded Wishart distribution is adopted to investigate the eigenvalue distribution of the multi-keyhole MIMO (multiple input multiple output) channel matrix, and the capacity performance is also presented for the wireless systems over such channels. A diversity order approximation method is proposed for better evaluating the eigenvalue and capacity distributions. The good match of analytical derivations and numerical simulations validates the proposed models and analysis methods. The proposed models can provide an important reference for the optimization and management of cooperative diversity wireless networks.

By employing the Stroh formalism, a general solution satisfying the basic laws of two-dimensional linear anisotropic elasticity has been written in a complex variable formulation. To study the stress singularity, suitable stress functions have been assumed in the exponential form. The singular order near the anisotropic elastic composite wedge apex can then be found by satisfying the boundary conditions. Since there are many material constants and boundary conditions involved, the characteristic equation for the singular order usually becomes cumbersome or leaves in the form of a system of simultaneous algebraic equations. It is therefore difficult to get any important parameters to study the failure initiation of the composite wedges. Through a careful mathematical manipulation, a key matrix N^ that contains the information of material properties and wedge geometries has been found to be a dominant matrix for the determination of the singular order. A closed-form solution for the order of stress singularity is thus written in a simple form. Special cases such as the wedge corners, cracks, interfacial joints or cracks, a crack terminating at the interface, etc. can all be studied in a unified manner.

Modelling of nonpolar surfaces is indispensable for first principles calculations to understand key surface properties, such as the surface energy and band edge positions including the ionization potential and electron affinity. An algorithm to generate nonpolar slab-and-vacuum models that require surface modification to attain stoichiometry was developed and outlined in this paper. Removal of half of the atoms in the outermost layers in a stripe pattern made possible auto-generation of many important nonpolar and stoichiometric slab-and-vacuum models including all spinel and perovskite aristotype surfaces. In addition, a computational procedure that assists the generation of step models was proposed that facilitates investigation of step edges that are often active reaction sites.
