Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the harvesting performance of a prototype small combine for buckwheat and adlay. Methods: The prototype small combine was designed and constructed. Its ratio of grain loss, ratio of output components in the grain outlet, and field capacity for harvesting buckwheat and adlay were analyzed through field tests. Results: The prototype small combine required a working width of about 0.6 to 0.7 m to harvest buckwheat. The maximum travel speed was about 0.36 m/. The total ratio of grain loss was about 21.6%, which consisted of 8.8% at the header and 12.8% at the dust outlet. The grain and the material other than grain (MOG) ratios at the grain outlet were 94.1% and 5.9% respectively. In the case of adlay harvest, the maximum working width was about 1.2 m, that is, two rows. The range of maximum travel speed was about 0.45 to 0.46 m/s. When adlay was harvested in one row, the total ratio of grain loss ranged from 36.3 to 42.8% according to the cutting height. The cutting height of 30 cm resulted in a higher total ratio of grain loss than 60 cm and 90 cm. When the cutting height was 60 cm, there was no significant change in the total ratio of grain loss according to the number of working rows and the stage of the primary transmission shift. The total ratio of grain loss ranged from 35.2 to 37.7%. The grain and the MOG ratios at the grain outlet ranged from 93.1 to 95.8% and from 4.2 to 6.9%, respectively. No significant difference was observed in relation to cutting height, number of working rows, and the stage of the primary transmission shift. Conclusions: The prototype small combine for harvesting miscellaneous cereal crops showed good potential for the efficient harvesting of buckwheat and adlay. However, to improve the harvesting performance, there seems to be a need to develop new crop varieties suitable for machine-based harvesting and improve the transmissions, reels, separation/cleaning systems.

Ordering is performed to reduce the amount of fill-ins of the Cholesky factor of a symmetric positive definite matrix. This paper proposes a new ordering algorithm that reduces the fill-ins of the Cholesky factor iteratively by elimination tree rotations and clique separators. Elimination tree rotations have been used mainly to reorder the rows of the permuted matrix for the efficiency of storage space management or parallel processing, etc. In the proposed algorithm, however, they are repeatedly performed to reduce the fill-ins of the Cholesky factor. In addition, we presents a simple method for finding a minimal node separator between arbitrary two nodes of a chordal graph. The proposed reordering procedure using clique separators enables us to obtain another order of rows of which the number of till-ins decreases strictly.

A computational study is reported on flow and heat transfer characteristics from five rows of circular air jets impinging on a concave surface with four rows of effusion holes. The effects of exit configurations of spent air and the arrangement of jet orifices and effusion holes for a jet Reynolds number of 7500 is investigated. In all, eight cases are studied and a good qualitative correlation is found among their flow patterns, pressure variations and heat transfer distributions.

The present study investigated the effects of experimental parameters on the thermal characteristics of an in-line 6x1 array of discrete heat sources for a test multichip module using water, PF-5060 and paraffin slurry. The parameters were heat flux of 10-40W/$cm^2$. Reynolds number of 3,000~20,000 and mass fraction up to 10% for paraffin slurry The size of paraffin slurry was within 10~40$\mu$m before and after experiments. The local heat transfer coefficients for the paraffin slurry were larger than those for water. Thermally fully developed conditions were observed after the third or fourth row (five or seven times of the chip length) and the paraffin slurry showed effective cooling performance at the high heat flux The paraffin slurry with the mass fraction of 5% showed the most efficient cooling performance when the heat transfer and the pressure drop in the test section are considered simultaneously. The experimental data at the fourth and sixth rows are best agreed with the values predicted by the Malina and Sparrow`s correlation among other correlations, and the empirical correlations for water and 5% paraffin slurry were obtained at the first and sixth rows when the channel Reynolds number is over 3,000.

In 1954 Frame, Robinson and Thrall [5] gave the hook formula for the number of standard Young tableaux of a given shape. Since then many proofs for the hook formula have been given using various methods. See [9] forprobabilistic method and see [6] or [12] for combinatorial ones. Regev [10] has given asymptotic values for these numbers and Gouyou-Beauchamps [8] gave exact formulas for the number of standard Young tableaux having n cells and at most k rows in the cases k = 4 and k = 5.

본 연구는 시장점유율이 가장 높은 가을무 두 품종을 이용하여 적정 재식거리를 구명하고자 실시하였다. 열간거리 $55{\times}25$, $45{\times}25$, $35{\times}25$ 및 $25{\times}25cm$ 등 4 실험구로, 주간거리 $35{\times}28$, $35{\times}25$, $35{\times}22$ 및 $35{\times}19cm$ 등 4 실험구로 파종하여 파종 58일 후 수확하여 지상부 및 지하부 생육과 뿌리 품질을 조사하였다. 두 품종 모두 열간거리에 따른 지상부 생육의 차이는 없었다. 하지만 열간거리 25 cm에서 S품종의 근장 및 C품종의 근중이 각각 20.5 cm, 1,422 g으로 다른 처리에 비해 통계적으로 유의하게 적었다. 따라서 가을무의 두 줄 재배시 열간거리는 근중이 감소하지 않고 무의 품질에도 영향을 미치지 않는 35 cm가 적절한 것으로 판단된다. 주간거리는 두 품종 모두 28, 25 및 22 cm에서는 평균 1,500 g 이상의 적절한 크기의 무가 생산되었으나 C품종의 경우 19 cm 실험구에서 근중이 1148.3 g으로 다른 실험구에 비해 크게 감소하였다. S품종의 경우, 주간거리는 무의 수량 및 품질에 큰 영향을 미치지 않았으나 C품종의 경우 주간거리에 의해 지상부 및 지하부 생육이 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 당도와 바람들이는 재식거리에 따라 영향을 받았지만 그 차이는 적었다. 따라서 가을무 두 줄 재배시 적정 재식거리는 최소 열간거리 25 cm, 주간거리 19 cm 이상 설정하는 것이 가을무 재배에 유리할 것으로 판단된다.

Background: Maize fodder is being used as staple feed for livestock but it lacks protein and essential amino acids; lysine and tryptophan. Intercropping maize with leguminous soybean crop is promising technique under limited land resources of South Korea but it can only give considerable advantages when adequate distance is provided between corn and soybean rows. Main aim of present study was to find-out adequate distance between corn and soybean seeding rows for optimum growth, yield and nutritive value of intercropped forage. Methods: Different interrow distances between corn and soybean were evaluated under four treatments, viz. 1) Corn sole as positive control treatment 2) Zero cm between corn and soybean (control); 2) Five cm between corn and soybean; 3) 10 cm between corn and soybean, with three replicates under randomized block design. Results: Findings depicted that height and number of corn stalks and ears were similar (P > 0.05) among different treatments. Numerically average corn ear height was decreased at zero cm distance. Dry matter percentage in all components; corn stalk, corn ear and soybean was also found not different (P > 0.05) but dry matter yield in component of corn ear was lower (P < 0.05) at zero cm distance as compared to that of 5 and 10 cm interrow distances. In case of nutritive value, total digestible nutrient yield in intercropped corn was also found lower (P < 0.05) at zero cm distance than that of 5 and 10 cm interrow distances between corn and soybean seeding rows. Substantial decrease in dry matter yield of maize ear at zero cm distance might be attributed to factor of closed interrow spacing which made interplant competition more intensified for light interception, necessary for photosynthetic activity. Lower dry matter yield in ear also reduced total digestible nutrients in intercropped maize because it was determining factor in calculation of digestible nutrients. The optimum yield and nutritive value of forage at wider interrow distance i.e. 5 cm between corn and soybean might be due to adequate interseed distance. Conclusion: Conclusively, pattern of corn and soybean seeding in rows at 5 cm distance was found suitable which provided adequate interrow distance to maintain enough mutual cooperation and decreased competition between both species for optimum production performance and nutritive value of intercropped forage.

In the present study, the effects of film Reynolds number (60∼200) and volumetric content of non-absorbable gases (0∼10%) in water vapor on the absorption process of aqueous LiBr solution were investigated experimentally. The formation of solution film on the horizontal tubes of six rows was observed to be complete for Re>100. Transition film Reynolds number was found to exist above which the Nusselt number and Schmidt number diminishes with solution flow rate. As the concentration of non-absorbable gases increased, mass transfer rate decreased more seriously than heat transfer rate did. the degradation effects of non-absorbable gases seemed to be significant especially when small amount of non-absorbable gases was introduced to the pure water vapor.
