This study presents a new gridless finite difference method for solving elastic crack problems. The method constructs the Taylor expansion based on the MLS(Moving Least Squares) method and effectively calculates the approximation and its derivatives without differentiation process. Since no connectivity between nodes is required, the modeling of discontinuity embedded in the domain is very convenient and discontinuity effect due to crack is naturally implemented in the construction of difference equations. Direct discretization of the governing partial differential equations makes solution process faster than other numerical schemes using numerical integration. Numerical results for mode I and II crack problems demonstrates that the proposed method accurately and efficiently evaluates the stress intensity factors.

In this paper, a novel technique is proposed to arbitrarily activate the nodal points in finite element model through the meshless approximation methods such as MLS(moving least squares method), and theoretical investigations are carried out including the consistency and boundeness of numerical solution to prove the validity of the proposed method. By using the proposed node activation technique, one can activate and handle only the concerned nodes as unknown variables among the large number of nodal points in the finite element model. Therefore, the proposed technique has a great potential in design and reanalysis procedure.

In this study, the performance of a portable NIR system and a FT NIR spectrometer were compared to determine water content of hairless mouse skin. The stratum corneum parts wer e separated from the epidermal tissues by trypsin solution. NIR diffuse reflectance spectra of hairless mouse skin were acquired using a fiber optic probe. In the near infrared, water molecules show two clear absorption bands at 1450 nm from first overtone of O-H stretching and 1940 nm from the combination involving O-H stretching and O-H deformation. It was found that the variations of O-H absorption band according to water content. Partial least squares regression (PLSR) was applied to develop a calibration model. The PLS model showed a good correlation between NIR predicted value and the absolute water content of separated hairless mouse skin, in vitro. For both the portable and the FT NIR spectrometer, These studies showed the possibility of a rapid and nondestructive skin moisture measurement using NIR spectroscopy. The portable NIR spectrometer with a photodiode arrays-microsensor could be more rapidly applied for the determination of water content with comparable accuracy with the performance of a FT spectrometer .

Bradley and Stewart(1991) considered a large class of experimental designs as multidimensional block designs(MBD's). The simplest MBD could be considered to be a row-column design(RCD). They presented the intrablock analysis of variance for a general row-column design. In this article, a generalized least squares solution for Bradley & Stewart's example is considered. In this case, the assumption is that row and column effects are random. This is an application of revised Paik(1990a,1990b)'s method. The Appendix is devoted to that revised method.

Probability plotting positions are popular and used as the basis for distribution fitting and for inspecting the quality of the fit because of its simplicity. The plotting positions that lead to excellent approximation to the mean of the order statistics should be used if the objective of the fitting is to estimate quantiles. Since the mean depends on the sample size and is not amenable for simple to use closed form solution, many plotting positions have been presented in the literature, including a new plotting position that is derived based on the weighted least-squares method. In this study, the accuracy of using the new plotting position to fit the Gumbel distribution for estimating quantiles is assessed. Also, plotting positions derived by fitting the mean of the order statistics for all ranks is proposed, and an approximation to the covariance of the order statistics for the Gumbel (and Weibull) variate is given. Relative bias and root-mean-square-error of the estimated quantiles by using the proposed plotting position are shown. The use of the proposed plotting position to estimate the quantiles of annual maximum wind speed is illustrated.

In this paper, we propose to re-size images using an oblique projection operator instead of the orthogonal one in order to obtain faster, simpler, and more general algorithms. The main advantage is that it becomes perfectly feasible to use higher order models(e.g., splines of degree n 3). We develop the theoretical background and present a simple and practical implementation procedure that uses B-splines. Experiments show that the proposed algorithm consistently outperforms the standard interpolation method and that it essentially provides the same performance as the optimal procedure (least squares solution) with considerably less computations.

Electrical resistance tomograpy (ERT) maps resistivity values of the soil subsurface and characterizes buried objects. The characterization includes location, size, and resistivity of buried objects. In this paper, truncated least squares (TLS) is presented for the solution of the ERT image reconstruction. Results of numerical experiments in ERT solved by the TLS approach is presented and compared to that obtained by the Gauss-Newton method.

In the impact echo method, a stress pulse is introduced into an object at on accessible surface by a transmitter. The pulse propagates into the test object and is reflected by flaws or interfaces. In this paper, void and crack locations of concrete specimens were detected using impact echo method. In their modal identification procedures, the double least squares solution for Ibrahim Time Domain technique was used.

Magnesite single crystals up to 250 microns were synthesized from an equi-molar solution of MgCl2 and Na2CO3 in the micro-autoclave at 180-20$0^{\circ}C$. The lattice constant of synthetic magnesite was obtained a=4.6369(7), c=15.0230(10)A.U. by a least squares analysis based on the UNICS Program (Sakurai 1967) was applied to 28 reflections. Results of X-ray powder diffraction and of DTA, TGA, IRA, and EPMA studies indicate that synthesized magnesite has properties to those of natural magnesite.
