In order to investigate the effects of design parameters of lug on the tractive performance of pneumatic tires, soil bin tests were conducted for the test tires having different values of design parameters. The experimental results were presented in terms of lug space, lug angle and lug shape versus the tractive efficiency and rolling resistance of the test tires.

In this paper, we introduce U-statistics approach to generalized Hollander-Proschan test for new better than used (NBUE) alternative. We prove, the proposed test is equivalent to test was introduced by Anis and Mitra (2011) and includes test was introduced by Hollander Proschan (1975). Also, the asymptotic properties are studied. The powers of our test are estimated. The Pitman asymptotic efficiencies of proposed test are also calculated. Finally, the test is applied to some real data.

With the expansion of the global supply chain, the efficiency of maritime logistics is considered a crucial factor for countries' trade and competitiveness. Nevertheless, prior research has not thoroughly evaluated the efficiency of maritime logistics, including countries' ports and shipping capacities. Accordingly, this study examines integrated maritime logistics efficiency at the national level using DEA-CCR, BCC, and super-efficiency DEA. Furthermore, this study identifies a difference between the selected countries' maritime logistics efficiency and LPI (Logistics Performance Index) through Spearman's correlation test as an ad-hoc analysis. From this, Asian countries showed higher efficiency and European countries showed higher LPI scores. These results might be derived from this difference in port-city development patterns. Additionally, the main cause of inefficiency in Europe and Japan might be attributed to high fleet capacity of control. Consequently, this study can provide valuable implications for coastal countries to set more efficient directions for maritime logistics investment and policy.

This study is conducted to experiment on the performance test for 20 types of Filter-integrated Half-masks which could not only protect workers exposed to dusty environment, but also improve workability. Results and conclusions are as follows ： 1) Respirators that removal efficiency of aerosols is 95 percent or more are 11 kinds(55%), and those who are 99.9 percent or more are 4 kinds(20%). Respirators that inhalation resistance is 4 mm in water or less are 13 kinds(65%), and those who are 6 mm in water or less are 17 kinds(85%). Respirators that efficiency of cumulative inhalation resistance is 100 percent or less are 11 kinds(55%) . 2) Respirators that resistance of moisture inhalation is 6 mm in water or less are 11 kinds(55%). and those who are 10 mm in water or less are 13 kinds(65cio), Respira'tors that ratio of removal efficiency for aerosols between dry and wet conditions is 95 percent or more are 9 kinds(45%). 3) Respirators which are not only 95 percent or more for removal efficiency of aersosls and 6 mm in water or less for inhalation resistance, but also 200 percent or less for efficiency of cumulative inhalation resistance, are 8 kinds(40％). Respirators which are not only 99.9 percent or more for removal efficiency and 6 mm in water or less for inhalation resistance, but also 100 percent or less for efficiency of cumulative inhalation resistance, are 3 kinds(15%). Respirators which are not only 95 percent or more for removal efficiency of aerosols and 6 mm in water or less for inhalation resistance, but also 200 percent or less for efficiency of cumulative inhalation resistance and 10 mm in water or less for resistance of moisture inhalation, are 6 kinds(30％) . 4) As standard rrlodel of artificial human head which would be perhaps different from the true one Is used to experiment fitness test, leakage rate is shown to be more or less high. However, artificial human head shall be accurately examined and follow-up studt. would be conducted in the future.

This paper discusses the combustion characteristics of water emulsified fuel produced by swirl impinging mixer. The experiments are given in a test boiler and a commercial boiler. Flame temperatures, flame shapes and exhaust emissions are measured in the test boiler, and thermal efficiency is tested in the commercial boiler. The test data show the water in oil makes the flame wider and shorter, the flame temperature lower and the NOx and smoke lower. Also, the commercial boiler test shows the thermal efficiency increases as well as the emissions decrease.

Nebulizer is designed to atomize medicinal fluid for patient with small particles(0.5-$5{\mu}m$) and also able to deliver particles from devices to the lungs when patient inhales air. Several particle size measurements are currently used to size aerosol particles. The most commonly used test is the cascade impactor method in as a standard. But, other methods for comparative particle size distribution data such as the particle size range and reproducibility are acceptable. Therefore, in this study a new test methode is suggested for nonventilatory nebulizer evaluation equipment.

In the present study, the performance characteristics of a centrifugal air compressor were investigated experimentally. The PC controlled performance test facility for a centrifugal air compressor driven by an electric motor with a gear box to achieve higher compressor rotating speed was set up in the present study. The performance test for a turbocharger compressor of a diesel engine was conducted, and in a case of 34,800 rpm, pressure ratio 1.18, flow rate 0.09kg/s, compressor efficiency 61% were investigated. Adiabatic power for a tested compressor showed maximum value at mass flow ratio 0.8. The value of mass flow ratio of maximum efficiency was about 0.37, it was independent of compressor rotating speed.

This paper proposes a method for improving efficiency of high-voltage motors off-line insulation diagnostic test. The conventional manual test method has measurement errors and excessive processing time. We developed the KITAS system and solved these problems by using the instrument remote control and communication technology. The result of proficiency testing by interlaboratory comparisons using Power Factor Tip-Up test was '${\mid}E_n{\mid}$ < 1'. It was possible to confirm the validity of acquired data from the KITAS and establish a remote diagnostic system for easy access without physical limitations.

After-treatment apparatus ceramic DPF (diesel particulate filter) have been applied to reduce harmful particulate matters(PM) among emissions from diesel engines so far, but they are easy to be fragile and weak in thermal shock. This research aims to investigate a metal type filter which is superior in mechanical strength and heat conduction rate and is beneficial economically in manufacturing. Basic performance of metal DPF such asloading test, temperature gradient test, thermal shock test, heat resistant test and back pressure was carried out. And then their experimental data provided key informations in designing and manufacturing such as detailed structures of metal mesh filter. Also diesel engine and vehicle of 2957cc displacement was tested under lug-down 3 mode and CVS-75 mode. PM reduction efficiency was 54.5% using metal DPF without loss of performance and fuel consumption.

The main objective of this study is to present a new approach to obtain moment inequalities for the new better than renewal used (NBRU) class of life distributions. In order to achieve our main objective, the moment inequalities for NBRU class of life distribution using the new approach has been derived and then a new test for testing exponentiality against NBRU class based on these inequalities has been constructed. Then we calculate the Pitman asymptotic efficiency for the proposed test using some alternative distributions and comparing it with the other tests. Moreover, we make a comparison between Pittman asymptotic efficiencies (PAE's) and PAE's of some other tests. A simulation study is conducted to calculate the upper critical values and the power estimate of the proposed test for some common alternatives. Finally, we apply the suggested test to some real data.
