This paper studies fracture initiation direction of two parallel non-coplanar cracks of equal length. Using the dislocation pile-up modelling, singular integral equations for two parallel cracks subjected to mixed-mode loading are derived and the crack-tip field including singular and non-singular terms is obtained. The kinking angle is determined by using the maximum hoop stress criterion, or the ${\sigma}_{\theta}$-criterion. Results are presented for simple uniaxial tension and biaxial loading. The biaxiality ratio has a noticeable influence on crack growth direction. For the case of biaxial tension, when neglecting the T-stress the crack branching angle is overestimated for small crack inclination angles relative to the largest applied principal stress direction, and underestimated for large crack inclination angles.

We derive the arbitrary time point system size distribution of M/ $G^{B}$1 queue in which late arrivals are not allowed to join the on-going service. The distribution is given by P(z) = $P_{4}$(z) $S^{*}$ (.lambda.-.lambda.z) where $P_{4}$ (z) is the probability generating function of the queue size and $S^{*}$(.theta.) is the Laplace-Stieltjes transform of the service time distribution function. We also derive the distribution of the service siez at arbitrary point of time. time.

We study the paper Zhernovyi and Zhernovyi [Zhernovyi, K.Y. and Y.V. Zhernovyi, "An $M^{\Theta}/G/1/m$ system with two-threshold hysteresis strategy of service intensity switching," Journal of Communications and Electronics, Vol.12, No.2(2012), pp.127-140]. In the paper, authors used the Korolyuk potential method to obtain the stationary queue length distribution. Instead, our note makes an attempt to apply the most frequently used methods : the embedded Markov chain and the supplementary variable method. We derive the queue length distribution at a customer's departure epoch and then at an arbitrary epoch.

We have developed a fast steady state free precession interferometry (SSFPI) technique which is useful for the fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging). As is known, SSFP sequence with a suitable adjustment of gradient (readout) allows us to measure precession angle $\theta$ which is in turn related to the field inhomogeneity [1-3]. When the method is applied to the susceptibility effect based functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), it was found that the direct susceptibility effect measurement was possible without perturbations such as the backgrounds and inflow effect. In this paper, simulation results and experimental results obtained with 2.0 Tesla MRI system are also presented.

Let ${\eta}(\tau)=q^{1/24}\prod_{n=1}^{\infty}(1-q^n)$, where $q=e^{2{\pi}i{\tau}}$ and ${\tau}{\in}\mathbb{C}$. Then the transformation $$g(\tau)={\rho}\frac{\{\eta(\frac{\tau+1}{2})\eta(\frac{\tau+2}{2})\}^{16}}{\eta(\tau)^{24}}({\bar{{\rho}}{\eta}}(\frac{\tau+1}{2})^8+{\eta}(\frac{\tau+2}{2})^8)^2$$ is holomorphic for Im ${\tau}$ > 0, and has the property $$g(\tau+1)=g(\tau),\;g(-\frac{1}{\tau})={\tau}^{12}g(\tau)$$.

Polycrystalline Al-Cu ribbons were produced by planar flow casting(PFC). Solidification behavior and microstructual changes of the ribbons have been investigated as a function of ribbon thickness and processing parameters. The solidification front velocity, V varies within the ribbon, decreasing with increasing the distance, S from the wheel-contact surface, as $V=17.6S^{-1}$. In Al-4.5wt%Cu alloy, rapid decrease in solidification velocity toward the free surface causes a change in solidification morphology from planar to cellular, and finally, to dendritic. The length and inclination of columnar grains solidified with planar front were related to the wheel velocity. The transition from particulate degenerate eutectic structure to regular lamellar eutectic structure was observed to be caused by a difference of the relative growth velocites of ${\alpha}-Al$ and ${\theta}$ during solidification in the Al-Cu eutectic alloy.

The algorithm presented here achieves mathematically better decoupling of the MW-$\theta$ and MVARE Calculations by applying linear transformations to load flow equation on paired initial power. The linear transformations to decouple Jacobian matrix prove to be highly profitable considering both Convergence characteristics and computation time per iteration to those required by the FDLF, because the decoupling does not rely on the assumption that the transmission lines have high X/R ratios.

In order to investigate the magnetic properties of CoCr-based bilayered thin films on kind of underlayer, we introduced amorphous Si layer to Co-Cr(-Ta) magnetic layer as underlayer. With the thickness of CoCr, CoCrTa single layer, crystalline orientation and perpendicular coercivity was improved. It was revealed that by introducing the Si underlayer, the c-axis orientation of CoCr, CoCrTa magnetic layer was improved largely. However, with increasing Si film thickness, perpendicular coercivity and saturation magnetization of Cocr/si, CoCrTa/Si bilayered thin films was decreased. Grain size of bilayered thin films became larger.

ZnO buffer layers were used to grow ZnO films on c-plane sapphire substrates. The role of ZnO buffer layers in the growth of ZnO thin films on sapphire substrates was investigated by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Photolumminescence(PL) measurements. At the optimized ZnO buffer layer thickness of 100 $\AA$, FWHM of $\theta$ -rocking curve of ZnO thin films was minimized to 0.73 degrees and room temperature PL spectra showed that deep level emission was not hardly seen. The optimization of the ZnO buffer layer thickness resulted in improvements of the surface morphology and crystalline quality of ZnO thin films.

An experimental study on the heat transfer of the inclined thermosyphon with low integral-fins in which boiling and condensation occurred is performed to investigate its heat transfer performance. Water and CFC-30 have been used as the working fluids. The operating temperature and the inclination angle of thermosyphon have been used as the experimental parameters. The heat flux input and the inclination angle $\theta$ towards the vertical position were varied in steps. The heat transfer rate in the thermosyphon was depended upon the inclination angle. In addition, it is to obtain the overall heat transfer coefficients and the characteristics as a operating temperature for the practical applications.
