An electrically heated experimental lumber dry kiln was retrofitted with a computer-based control system to control kiln conditions more precisely and monitor and record several kiln variables. Flat-sawn 2.5cm-thick Pinus densiflora boards were dried in constant temperature process(65$^{\circ}C$ & 50~60 %RH) and continuously rising temperature process, respectively. The average drying rate in continuously rising temperature process was 5.7 %/hr, which was above 3 times faster than that in constant temperature process. But, the average rate of case-hardening and moisture difference between shells and cores of boards dried in continuously rising temperature process were 82 % and 5.5 %, respectively, which were much larger than those of boards dried in constant temperature process.

This paper reports the correlation between dielectric constant and degree of amorphism of the hybrid type Si-O-C thin films. Si-O-C thin films were deposited by high density plasma chemical vapor deposition using bistrimethyl- silylmethane(BTMSM, $H_{9}$C$_3$-Si-C $H_2$-Si-C$_3$ $H_{9}$) and oxygen precursors with various flow rate ratio. As-deposited film and annealed films at 40$0^{\circ}C$ were analyzed by XRD. The Si-O-C thin films were amorphous from XRD patterns. For quantitative analysis, the diffraction pattern of the samples was transformed to radial distribution function by Fourier analysis, and then compared with each other. The degree of amorphism of annealed films was higher than that of as-deposited ones. The dielectric constant varied in accordance with flow rate ratio of precursors. The lowest dielectric constant was obtained from the as-deposited film which has the highest degree of amorphism after annealing.

The combustion characteristics, ignition delay, p-t, dp/dt, Q-t of diesel oil and fish oil blended diesel oils was investigated according to pressure and temperature in a constant volume combustion bomb. The results are as follows: 1) The influence of temperature and pressure on the ignition delay was almost constant in high temperature, regardless of the blending rates, and the ignition delay was shortest in the 60% blend. 2) The maximum pressure was high in order of with pure diesel oil, with the 20% blend and the 60% blend. 3) The rate of pressure rise was high in order of with pure diesel oil, with the 20% blend and the 60% blend. The rate of maximum pressure rise was significantly higher with pure diesel oil than with two blends. 4) The amount of accumulative heat release was large in order of with pure diesel oil, with the 20% blend and the 60% blend.

This study was to measure the minuteness structure, dielectric properties of 0.03PCW-0.07PNN-0.9PZT ceramics according to sintering temperature manufacture the specimens with a general method. The results of this study were gotten such as follows. The crystal structure of ceramic changed the rombohedral structure into teteragonal structure according to rising sintering temperature in XRD. Dielectric constant at $20^{\circ}C$ showed its maximum value 510.599 in specimens sintered at $1100^{\circ}C$ and dielectric loss showed its minimum value 7.43% in specimens sintered at $1100^{\circ}C$. The variation rate of dielectric constant according to the change of frequency showed its minimum value 0.029/kHz at $1100^{\circ}C$. The variation rate of dielectric constant according to the change of temperature showed its minimum value $1.40/^{\circ}C$ at $1500^{\circ}C$.

Muscle protein synthesis in vitro was measured in chicks fed low-protein(10% CP) and control(20% CP) diets. Right leg muscles (M. gastrocnemius) were mounted on a support made of stainless steel to stretch in constant tension, whereas left leg muscles were unmounted. Both leg muscles were incubated in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium including L-[$4-^3H$] phenylalanine for 60 min to measure in vitro protein synthesis. There was no significant difference in fractional synthesis rate(FSR) of muscle protein between both dietary protein levels, whereas FSR with stretch in constant tension was significantly higher than that without constant tension due to an increase in the absolute synthesis rate(ASR) per unit RNA(the efficiency of RNA to synthesize protein). The ASR of muscle protein in chicks fed the control diet was significantly higher than that in the low-protein diet group.

This study describes the combustion characteristics of methance-air mixture with various equivalence retio and initial conditions of mixture in constant volume combustion chamber. Combustion characteristics of methane-air mixture such as combustion pressure, combustion temperature, and heat release were investigated by the measurement of combustion pressure and temperature in the combustion chamber. The results show that maximum combustion pressure, gas temperature and rate of heat release have peaks at equivalence ratio of 1.1. Combustion duration is also the shortest at the equivalence ratio of 1.1 and it is shortened as initial mixture temperature increases.

Many different semi-supervised learning algorithms have been proposed for use wit unlabeled data. However, most of them focus on classification problems. In this paper we propose a semi-supervised regression algorithm called the semi-supervised local constant estimator (SSLCE), based on the local constant estimator (LCE), and reveal the asymptotic properties of SSLCE. We also show that the SSLCE has a faster convergence rate than that of the LCE when a well chosen weighting factor is employed. Our experiment with synthetic data shows that the SSLCE can improve performance with unlabeled data, and we recommend its use with the proper size of unlabeled data.

Characteristics, such as the support limit and distortions, of minimum mean-squared error (MSE) N-level uniform and nonuniform scalar quantizers are studied for the family of the generalized gamma density functions as N increases. For the study, MSE-optimal scalar quantizers are designed at integer rates from 1 to 16 bits/sample, and their characteristics are compared with corresponding asymptotic formulas. The results show that the support limit formulas are generally accurate. They also show that the distortion of nonuniform quantizers is observed to converge to the Panter-Dite asymptotic constant, whereas the distortion of uniform quantizers exhibits slow or even stagnant convergence to its corresponding Hui-Neuhoff asymptotic constant at the studied rate range, though it may stay at a close proximity to the asymptotic constant for the Rayleigh and Laplacian pdfs. Additional terms in the asymptote result in quite considerable accuracy improvement, making the formulas useful especially when rate is 8 or greater.

Disposal of blue crab wastes represents a significant problem to processors, who are limited with respect to acceptable disposal alternatives. Anaerobic bioconversion technology was investigated to determine an environmentally sound and economic disposal method for these wastes. In the study ultimate methane yield for total crab solid waste was $0.180m^3/kg$ VS added and biodegradation rate constant was $0.15day^{-1}$. Methane yield of the bench-scale reactor operated on similar feedstock was $0.189m^3/kg$ VS added and biodegradation rate constant was $0.06day^{-1}$. These results indicate that anaerobic bioconversion of blue crab wastes was technically feasible. Use of anaerobic bioconversion technology can be an attractive option for blue crab processing waste management. The by-product methane gas could be used for maintainign a number of processing operations (i.e., heat for cooking, or keeping temperature of digester constant).

For a low dielectric constant inter-metal dielectric application, the low-k SiCOH film with a dielectric constant of 2.8-3.2 has been deposited by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition with decamethylcyclopentasiloxane, cyclohexane, and helium which is carrier gas. In this work, we investigated chemical deposition rate, dielectric constant, characterization of plasma polymer films according to temperature(25C-200C) of substrate and change of component concentration. We measured impedance by using V-I prove during process. From experimental result, deposition rate decrease with increasing temperature. Through real time impedance analysis of chamber, we find corelation between film thickness and impedance by assuming equivalent circuit.
