An expreiment with non-nodulating alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) plants was designed to investigate the changes in protein contents and the activities of proteolytic enzymes during a regrowth period of 24 d. Shoot removal caused a depression of root growth and significantly reduced protein contents in roots. An initial decline of root proteins for the first 10 d was followed by a rapid recovery from d 11 to 24. The major increase of regrowing shoot weight occurred also from d 11. The activities of aminopeptidase and endoprotease slightly decreased in regrowing leaves, while protein contents remains stable after shoot removal. Roots exhibited source behaviour with a rapid increase of endoprotease activities for the first 10 d of regrowth; about a 370% increase over the initial level was observed. Increase in endoprotease activity in roots coincided with the time of protein remobilization after shoot removal, indicating the important role of endoproteases in protein degradation.

958 healthy Korean children aged from 2 to 11 years old (male: 500 female:458) were studied on the root resorption of the mandibular first deciduous molar. The Results were as follows: 1. The resorption of mandibular first deciduous molar in female was earlier than male. 2. The patterns of the initial resorption of mandibular first deciduous molar were as follows Distal root is resorbed by the Successor ; 55.92% Both roots are resorbed by the Successor simultaneously ; 30.51% Mesial root is resorbed by successor ; 6.33% Mesial root is resorbed by the mandibular first bicuspid and canine ; 4.08% Bifurcation area is resorbed by the successor; 3.16% 3. The Exfoliation period of mandibular first deciduous molar was 10 years 1month in female and 10 years 4 months in male.

Surgical repair of the tetralogy of Fallot is one of the most successful operations in the treatment of congenital heart diseases. We report the case of a 65-year-old man who had an aortic valve replacement at the time of complete repair of the tetralogy of Fallot at the age of forty-three. He subsequently had progressive aortic root and ascending aorta dilation to 9 cm. The aortic root and ascending aorta replacement was done using a composite valve-graft and was performed along with other procedures. Thus, meticulous follow-up of aortic root and ascending aorta after corrective surgery for tetralogy of Fallot is recommended following initial curative surgery.

In this paper, the effect of material elasticity was evaluated through a simple model as proposed by Wang and Yu (1991), for yield mechanisms of a cantilever beam under tip pulse loading. The beam was assumed rigid-perfectly plastic but instead of the usual fully clamped constraints at its root, an elastic-perfectly plastic rotational spring was introduced there so the system had a certain capacity to absorb elastic energy. Compared with a rigid-perfectly plastic beam without a spring root, the present beam-spring model showed differences in the initial plastic hinge position and the minimum magnitude of the dynamic force needed to produce a plastic failure. It was also shown that various failure responses may happen while the hinge travels along the beam segment towards the root, rather than a unique response mode as in a rigid perfectly plastic analysis.

Conventional methods for root finding of the algebraic equations are intrinsically synthetic division methods, i.e., which are the factorization in forms of $f(x)=(x-x_i)Q(x)$. So existing methods have some demerits such as deflation and root-polishing procedures. To overcome these defects a new powerful algorithm, namely circular arithmetic algorithm(CSM), was introduced and has been investigated about its fascinating properties. In this paper, we will propose a simple and effective method of getting the initial guesses for the roots of the equation. With this method the CSM can me all the root of equation with great efficiency.

In this article the problem of computing floating-point reciprocal cube root functions is considered. Our new algorithms for this task decrease the number of arithmetic operations used for computing $1/{\sqrt[3]{x}}$. A new approach for selection of magic constants is presented in order to minimize the computation time for reciprocal cube roots of arguments with movable decimal point. The underlying theory enables partitioning of the base argument range x∈[1,8) into 3 segments, what in turn increases accuracy of initial function approximation and decreases the number of iterations to one. Three best algorithms were implemented and carefully tested on 32-bit microcontroller with ARM core. Their custom C implementations were favourable compared with the algorithm based on cbrtf(x) function taken from C ＜math.h＞ library on three different hardware platforms. As a result, the new fast approximation algorithm for the function $1/{\sqrt[3]{x}}$ was determined that outperforms all other algorithms in terms of computation time and cycle count.

The purpose of this study is to determine the proper fillet weld size for the stiffeners on hull bottom plate of crude oil tanker. To achieve it, the effective notch stress and hot spot stress of the fillet weld with leg length specified in the rule were evaluated by using comprehensive FE analyses. Based on the results, the fatigue damages at each location of weld were calculated. Meanwhile the transitional behavior of initial welding distortion in the hull bottom plate under the design conditions was investigated by using a non-linear FEA. Welding distortion and residual stress introduced during fabrication process were considered as initial imperfections. According to FE analysis results, if the fillet leg length satisfies the design criteria of the classification society, the concern on the root failure at the fillet welds in the bottom hull plate during the design life can be negligible. In addition, considering the transitional behavior of the distortion during the service life, the fillet leg length should be minimized.

This study was conducted to determine the optimum intensity of root pruning and the initial seedling size of 1-year-old Quercus serrata for producing 2-year-old healthy seedlings. Large( > 26 cm hight) and small size ( < 24 cm hight) seedlings were pruned their root by the length of 5, 10, and 15cm and then transplanted on nursery. Stem height, root-collar diameter(RCD), height to RCD ratio(H/D ratio), shoot dry weight(DW) and root development were measured during first growing season after transplanting. Seedling size and pruning intensity influenced on shoot growth such as height, RCD, H/D ratio and DW after transplanting. In addition, the development of lateral roots such as number, length, DW and diameter were affected by the seedling size. Taproot pruned by 15cm was shown excellent above-ground growth in large seedling group, but pruned by 10 and 15cm showed respectively better shoot growth in small seedling group. Large seedlings increased their above-ground growth, taproot regrowth, and number of lateral roots more than those of the small seedlings. But the length and DW of lateral roots were increased in the small seedlings. In conclusion, in order to produce high quality 2-year-old seedlings, it is important to produce large size of Q. serrata seedlings. Also root pruning length of 1-year-old Q. serrata was reasonable on 15 cm in taller than 26 cm or 10cm in less than the height.

In this paper distribution of welding residual stress on the double fillet welded joint which exits and not exits root gap, i.e. full penetration and partial penetration is investigated by two dimensional cunduct and thermal elasto-plastic analysis. And stress distribution on notch-tip of the structure where welding residual stress regarded as initial stress and then external load is added is also investigated.
