Effects of particle property variation of cone crack shape according to impact velocity in silicon carbide materials were investigated. The damage induced by spherical impact having different material and size was different according to materials. The size of ring cracks induced on the surface of specimen increased with increase of impact velocity within elastic contact conditions. The impact of steel particle produced larger ring cracks than that of SiC particle. In case of high impact velocity, the impact of SiC particle produced radial cracks by the elastic-plastic deformation at impact regions. Also percussion cone was formed from the back surface of specimen when particle size become large and its impact velocity exceeded a critical value. Increasing impact velocity, zenithal angle of cone cracks in SiC material was linearly decreasing not effect of impact particle size. An empirical equation, $\theta=\theta_{st}-\upsilon_p(180-\theta_{st})(\rho_p/\rho_s)^{1/2}/415$, was obtained from the test data as a function of quasi-static zenithal angle of cone crack($\theta_{st}$), the density of impact particle(${\rho}_p$) and specimen(${\rho}_s$). Applying this equation to the another materials, the variation of zenithal angle of cone crack could be predicted from the particle impact velocity.

A numerical and experimental study has been performed on natural convection heat transfer from a horizontal annulus with spacers. The mode of heat transfer in the annulus is changed from conduction to convection at Ra = 10$^{3}$. By increasing wall conductivity, mean Nusselt number is apparently increased at $K_{w}$/K$_{f}$ .leg. 48, but at /K$_{w}$/K$_{f}$ > 48, slightly increased for no spacers, and decreased for vertical spacers and horizontal spacers. The mean Nusselt number can be represented in an exponential function of Grashof number at all conditions. The characterics of natural convection heat transfer show similiarity for no spacers and vertical spacers but show difference for horizontal spacers. The presence of the horizontal spacers increased the convective heat transfer by an average 6 percent over that for the no forced cooling to outer cylinder. The maximum local Nusselt number appears at .theta. = 150.deg. in a conducting tube and .theta. = 30.deg. in an outer cylinder for vertical spacers, and appears at .theta. = 180.deg. in a conducting tube and .theta. = 0.deg. in an outer cylinder for horizontal spacers.spacers.

The design of a telecentric f-${\theta}$ lens with a field of view (FOV) $30^{\circ}$ and an effective focal length of 1000mm is presented. The optical stop is placed at the front plane and the design is based on a geometric ray tracing technique, and the designed system consists of a series of convex and concave lenses. The designed f-${\theta}$ lens showed a considerable reduction in weight with a simplified structure and resulted in a good performance in the designated FOV. Detail analysis of rays is also presented. 653nm (red laser), 586nm (green laser), and 468nm (blue laser) were simulated as a light source and image illuminating source. The developed optical design requires 7 pieces of lenses made of SF1, N-FK56, N-LAK33, and BK7 glass materials. With optimal parametric design, the effective focal length was calculated to be 974.839mm which is very close to the initial design target. For the manufacturing purpose, the dimensions of lens curvature and thickness were truncated with error ranging 0.1% to 3.2%. As a result, the overall error was calculated to be 3.2% which can be still tolerable for display, laser material, and machining processing.

To investigate the involvement of protein kinase C(PKC) isoenzyme in the testes which control spermatogenesis and hormone secretion, we examined cellular distribution of four types of PKC $\alpha$, ${\beta}I$, ${\delta}$ and ${\theta}$ in the horse testes using PKC antisera by western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry. By the western blot analysis, PKC $\alpha$ and ${\beta}I$ were detected at 82KD, while PKC ${\delta}$ and ${\theta}$ were detected at 80KD in the testes of both juvenile and adult horses. In juvenile horse, PKC $\alpha$, ${\delta}$ and ${\theta}$ except ${\beta}I$ were not detected in the cells of the testes, whereas PKC ${\beta}I$ was immunoreacted with only in spermatocytes. In adult, PKC $\alpha$, ${\beta}I$, ${\delta}$ and ${\theta}$isoenzymes were localized in interstitial cells of the testes. In the seminiferous tubules, PKC ${\beta}I$ is localized in spermatocyte, spermatid and spermatozoa, while PKC ${\delta}$ is localized only in spermatids. We suggest that this is a first report to localize PKC in the testes of horse and PKC isoenzymes are upregulated in the cells of horse testes depending on ages. These findings also suggest that certain PKC isoenzyme plays an important role in the signal transduction of spermatogenic cells and interstitial cells in horse testes.

Glutamate is the most common excitatory amino acid in the brain. Responsiveness of dendrites to the glutamate greatly varies depending on the application sites. Especially, a point of the maximal response to the glutamate of the dendrite is called as 'hot spot'. In our experiment, the responsiveness of the hot spot to the glutamate was investigated in the CA1 pyramidal neuron of the rat hippocampal slice. CNQX, the antagonist of AMPA receptor, blocked 95% of membrane current to the glutamate focal application $(I_{gl}).$ Train ejection of glutamate on one point of the dendrite increased or decreased the amplitude of $I_{gl}$ with the pattern of train, and the changes were maintained at least for 30 min. In some cases, glutamate train ejection also induced calcium dependent action potentials. To evoke long-term change of synaptic plasticity, we adopted ${\theta}-burst$ in the glutamate train ejection. The ${\theta}-burst$ decreased the amplitude of glutamate response by 60%. However, after ${\theta}-burst$ glutamate train ejection, the calcium dependent action potential appeared. These results indicated that the focal application of glutamate on the neuronal dendrite induced response similar to the synaptic transmission and the trains of glutamate ejection modulated the change of AMPA receptor.

After we experiment one direction fiber reinforced composites$(\theta\;=\;0^{\circ},\;J=1)$ to the X direction$(\theta\;=\;0^{\circ},\;J=1)$, we can say that fiber orientation efficiency and fiber orientation angle efficiency become lower. It is because the more the fabric is orientated in a equal direction with one direction fiber floor the more the load given from the exterior becomes shear rather than tension, even though one direction fiber floor gets the most of the exterior power. when fiber content ration is $10wt\%$, the fiber reinforcement efficiency of J=0.3 is similar with the fiber reinforcement efficiency of $\theta=30^{\circ}$ We also found that the fiber reinforcement efficiency of J=0.2 is similar with the fiber reinforcement efficiency of $\theta=20^{\circ}$ in case of $20wt\%$.

A numerical study has been performed on the natural convection heat transfer from a conducting tube with two axial fins to a surrounding cylinder. As increasing dimensionless fin length ($L_F$), the center of flow moves to the bottom of annulus and the recirculating flow rate is decreased. The maximum local Nusselt number of conducting tube appears at ${\theta}=180^{\circ}$ for $L_F=0.0$, but at ${\theta}=130^{\circ}$ for $L_F{\geq}0.3$ and that of outer cylinder appears at ${\theta}=13^{\circ}$ for $L_F{\leq}0.6$ but at ${\theta}=33^{\circ}$ for $L_F=1.0$. The fin temperature is decreased by increasing radial distance and the temperature distribution of the downward fin is generally less than that of the upward fin. By increasing fin length, the local Nusselt number of the upward fin appears negative values for $L_F=1.0$, but appears positive values for $L_F<0.8$, and that of the downward fin appears positive values.

Typical confidence intervals for a mean or mean residual life (MRL) are centered about the mean or mean residual life. We discuss novel confidence intervals that produce statements like "we are 95% confident that the MRL function, e(t), is greater than a prespecified $\mu_o$ for all t in the interval [0, $\hat{\theta})$)" where $\hat{\theta}$ is determined from the sample data, confidence level, and $\mu_o$. Also, we can have statements like 'we are 95% confident that the MRL of population 1, namely $e_1$(t), is greater than the MRL of population 2, $e_2$(t), for all t in the interval [0, $\hat{\theta}$)" where $\hat{\theta}$ is determined from the sample data and confidence level. We illustrate these one and two sample confidence intervals on internal bonds (tensile strengths) for an important modem engineered wood product, called medium density fiberboard (MDF), used internationally.

A generalized structural design equation can be used to simplify and systematize a telecentric lens system composed of multiple lenses, as a creative design method of the authors. Through this structural equation, we have investigated the feasibility and design methodology of a telecentric lens equipped with a conventional smartphone camera for machine vision. As a result, we could verify and present a useful, generalized structural equation termed the $f{\theta}$ formula, being able to divide and combine the whole telecentric lens system into two modularized lens groups.
