The Cosmic Mach number M is the ratio of the bulk flow velocity of the galaxrvelocity field on some scale R to the unall scale velocity dispersion within refcions of scale R. Because M is the ratio of two velocities, it is inn-dimansionat and the Here, independent of the amplitude of the power specHim and of the biasplnmeter in the linear theory. We have measured the Mach rnlmber for two observational samples: a spiral galaxy sample(AHM) of Aaronson and hiscoBlaborators with absolute distances measured by the infrared Ttillr-Fisher relatioa and an elliptical galaxy sample(EGALS) of Faber or 0, with distances determined by the relation. The effective depths distances of galaxies from the Local Group of these samples are 1639 km/s and 2862 e/s, respectivelr. The Machnumbers from these observed peculiar velocity Selds He fund as M=0.95 for AHMand M=0.59 for EGALS. We comPBre these calculated Mach numbers with thosefrom meck surweys drawn fuom three cosnulogical medels: the stand8rd biased nh=0.5 CDM modet an open CDM rrudel with gh=0.2, and a medd with thepower-law power specelm P(k)-k-1 and n=1. The Mach rnlmber test can give robust constraints on these cosmelogical nudels whose power spectra have very different shapes at large scales.

To mass-product useful biopolymer films, chitosan/gelatin blend films were prepared by solution casting method. Effect of mixing ratio, tensile strength(TS), elongation(${\Delta}E$) at break, total color difference(E), water vapor permeability(WVP) and oxygen permeability(OP) on chitosan/gelatin blend films properties were investigated. TS, ${\Delta}E$, E, WVP and OP values of chitosan/gelatin blend films were 43.43-38.30 MPa, 9.02-15.09%, 1.28-3.81, $0.8420-0.9673ng{\cdot}m/m^2{\cdot}s{\cdot}Pa$ and $1.5472{\times}10^{-7}-1.5424{\times}10^{-7}mL{\cdot}{\mu}m/m^2{\cdot}s{\cdot}Pa$, respectively. TS of the blend films decreased, while E and E of the blend films increased with increasing chitosan content. WVP and OP of the blend films did not show any significant relationship with mixing ratio and thickness of the blend films. OP of the blend films were lower than those of low density polyethylene and oriented polypropylene.

Objectives: Exposure to bioaerosols in the indoor environment could be associated with a variety adverse health effects, including allergic disease such atopy. The objectives of this study were to assess children's exposure to bioaerosol in home indoor environments and to evaluate the association between atopy and bioaerosol, environmental, and social factors in Ulsan, Korea. Methods: Samples of viable airborne bacteria and fungi were collected by impaction onto agar plates using a Quick Take TM 30 and were counted as colony forming units per cubic meter of air (CFU/$m^3$). Bioaerosols were identified using standard microbial techniques by differential stains and/or microscopy. The environmental factors and possible causes of atopy based on ISAAC (International Study of Allergy and Asthma in Childhood) were collected by questionnaire. Results: The bioaerosol concentrations in indoor environments showed log-normal distribution (p < 0.01). Geometric mean (GM) and geometric standard deviation (GSD) of airborne bacteria and fungi in homes were 189.0 (2.5), 346.1(2.0) CFU/$m^3$, respectively. Indoor fungal levels were significantly higher than those of bacteria (p < 0.001). The concentration of airborne bacteria exceeded the limit recommended by the Korean Ministry of Environment, 800 CFU/$m^3$, in three out of 92 samples (3.3%) from 52 homes. The means of indoor to outdoor ratio (I/O) for airborne bacteria and fungi were 8.15 and 1.13, respectively. The source of airborne bacteria was not outdoors but indoors. GM of airborne bacteria and fungi were 217.6, 291.8 CFU/$m^3$ in the case's home and 162.0, 415.2 CFU/$m^3$ in the control's home respectively. The difference in fungal distributions between case and control were significant (p = 0.004) and the odds ratio was 0.996 (p = 0.027). Atopy was significantly associated with type of house (odds ratio = 1.723, p = 0.047) and income (odds ratio = 1.891, p = 0.041). Some of the potential allergic fungal genera isolated in homes were Cladosporium spp., Botrytis spp., Aspergillus spp., Penicillium spp., and Alternatia spp. Conclusions: These results suggest that there this should be either 'was little' meaning 'basically no significant association was found' or 'was a small negative' mean that an association was found but it was minor. It's a very improtant distinction. Association between airborne fungal concentrations and atopy and certain socioeconomic factors may affect the prevalence of childhood atopy.

The performance of old and the new concrete construction depends upon bond strength between old and the new concrete. Current adhesive and strength measurement method ignores the effect of stress concentration from shape of specimens. Therefore, this research calculates stress concentration coefficient as the ratio of drilling depth to drilling diameter($h_s/D$), the ratio of overlay thickness to drilling diameter($h_0/D$), the ratio of steel disk thickness to drilling diameter(t/D), the ratio of overlay elastic modulus to substrate modulus($E_1/E_0$), the distance from core to corner border(L_$_{corner}$) and the distance between cores(L_$_{coic}$) vary. The finite element method is adapted to analysis The results from 'the F.E.M analysis are as follows. The stress concentration effects can be minimized when the ratio of drilling depth to drilling diameter($h_s/D$) is 0.20~0.25, the elastic modulus ratio($E_1/E_0$) is 06~1.0, and the ratio of steel disk thickness to drilling diameter(t/D) is 3.0. The overlay thickness, the distance from specimens to corner border(L_$_{corner}$), the distance between cores(L_$_{coic}$) almost do not affect to the stress concentration.

The BOD removal characteristics of submerged biofilters filled with three kinds of filter media respectively were experimentally examined with constant temperature, pH value and variable BOD loading and recirculation ratio. Obtained results are as follows; 1. The BOD removal ratio decreases with the increasing $BOD_5$ volumetric loading rate, and the loading rate for the BOD removal over 90% is lower thean $1.6kg{\cdot}BOD_5/m^3{\cdot}d$ for the plastic media of Netring and cubic wire meshes. This is a much large value than $0.3{\sim}0.8kg{\cdot}BOD_5/m^3{\cdot}d$ for conventional activated sludge process. The required submerged biofilter volume is found to be much samller than that of conventional activated sludge process. 2. The decreasing order of BOD removal is Netring (random plastic media), cubic wire meshes (plastic module), and then gravel (stone media). This is mainly due to the media characteristics such as void ratio, specific surface area and media shapes. 3. The $BOD_5$ removal rate increases with the recircuration ration, but the rate of increases becomes samaller as the recirculation ratio increases over 20. When $BOD_5$ loading is $1.8kg{\cdot}BOD_5/m^3{\cdot}d$, the required recirculation rationto obtain 90% $BOD_5$ removal is about 20 for Netring and it was about 30 for cubic wire meshes. 4. Reynold's Number increases with recirculation ratio, and the Reynold's Numbers corresponding to the recircuration ratio of 10~50 are less than 52, showing laminar up flows in the filter. The settled and effluent sludges increase with increase of Reynol's Number, and there are the definite Reynold's Numbers at which the settling sludge concentrations become nearly constant respectively in each filters. 5. In this submerged biofilter system, small volume of sludge hopper can be substituted for a separated settling tank.

Modal identification based on ambient vibration data has attracted extensive attention in the past few decades. Since the excitation for ambient vibration tests is mainly from the environmental effects such as wind and traffic loading and no artificial excitation is applied, the signal to noise (s/n) ratio of the data acquired plays an important role in mode identifiability. Under ambient vibration conditions, certain modes may not be identifiable due to a low s/n ratio. This paper presents a study on the mode identifiability of an instrumented cable-stayed bridge with the use of acceleration response data measured by a long-term structural health monitoring system. A recently developed fast Bayesian FFT method is utilized to perform output-only modal identification. In addition to identifying the most probable values (MPVs) of modal parameters, the associated posterior uncertainties can be obtained by this method. Likewise, the power spectral density of modal force can be identified, and thus it is possible to obtain the modal s/n ratio. This provides an efficient way to investigate the mode identifiability. Three groups of data are utilized in this study: the first one is 10 data sets including six collected under normal wind conditions and four collected during typhoons; the second one is three data sets with wind speeds of about 7.5 m/s; and the third one is some blind data. The first two groups of data are used to perform ambient modal identification and help to estimate a critical value of the s/n ratio above which the deficient mode is identifiable, while the third group of data is used to perform verification. A couple of fundamental modes are identified, including the ones in the vertical and transverse directions respectively and coupled in both directions. The uncertainty and s/n ratio of the deficient mode are investigated and discussed. A critical value of the modal s/n ratio is suggested to evaluate the mode identifiability of the deficient mode. The work presented in this paper could provide a base for the vibration-based condition assessment in future.

MILD combustion was first developed to suppress thermal NOx formation in combustor for heating industrial furnaces. In this paper, the effect of co-flow MILD combustor geometry and operating conditions on the formation of MILD combustion was analyzed using 3 dimensional numerical simulation. The numerical simulations were carried out using ANSYS Fluent. The combustion and turbulence flow was modeled using the Eddy Dissipation Concept(EDC) model and realizable $k-{\varepsilon}$ model respectively. The results show that the high temperature region and average temperature decreased due to an increase in the air velocity and decrease the wall thickness of fuel nozzle. In particular, the MILD combustion flame was found to be stable with a combustion flame region at fuel velocity 10 m/s, air velocity 20 m/s, fuel nozzle thickness 1.0 mm, equivalence ratio 0.9, and outlet area ratio 40%.

The cycloidal reducer is one of the velocity controlling equipments in machinery. It has advantages of the higher reduction ratio, the higher accuracy, the easier adjustment of the transmission ratio and the smaller workspace than any other kinds of the reducers. This paper proposes a simple and exact approach for the lobe profile design of the two teeth difference cycloidal plate gear, which is different from the standard cycloidal reducer, by means of the principle of the instant velocity center in the general contact mechanism and the homogeneous coordinate transformation.
