We show that the ${\theta}$-prime radical of a ring R is the set of all strongly ${\theta}$-nilpotent elements in R, where ${\theta}$ is an automorphism of R. We observe some conditions under which the ${\theta}$-prime radical of coincides with the prime radical of R. Moreover we characterize elements in prime radicals of skew Laurent polynomial rings, studying (${\theta}$, ${\theta}^{-1}$)-(semi)primeness of ideals of R.

Two coupling methods for the Navier-Stokes equations and a two-equation turbulence model equations are compared. They are the strongly coupled method and the loosely coupled method. The strongly coupled method solves the Navier-Stokes equations and the two-equation turbulence model equations simultaneously, while the loosely coupled method solves the Navier-Stokes equation with the turbulence viscosity fixed and subsequently solves the turbulence model equations with all the flow quantities fixed. In this paper, performances of two coupling methods are compared for two and three-dimensional problems.

A computational study on a strongly stratified natural convection is performed with the elliptic blending second-moment closure. The turbulent heat flux is treated by both the algebraic flux model (AFM) and the differential flux model (DFM). Calculations are performed for a turbulent natural convection in a square cavity with conducting top and bottom walls and the calculated results are compared with the available experimental data. The results show that both the AFM and DFM models produce very accurate solutions with the elliptic-blending second-moment closure without invoking any numerical stability problems. These results show that the AFM and DFM models for treating the turbulent heat flux are sufficient for this strongly stratified flow. However, a slight difference between two models is observed for some variables.

The free electron laser (FEL) is driven by electron beams with energies ranging from hundreds of kilovolt to hundreds of megavolt. Therefore the efficiency of FEL strongly depends on the beam quality. In this paper we examined the relation between applied voltage and magnetic field at the magnetically insulated cylindrical cold cathode for the high quality electron beam by the numerical analysis. As a result, we knew that the beam widening strongly depended on applied magnetic field and voltage.

The combined new phytoformula (CAS), a mixture (5 : 3 : 2, w/w/w) of the ethanol extracts of the roots of C. officinalis and A. japonica, and the n-butanol fraction of the S. subprostrata strongly inhibited arthritic severity score as well as IL-6 production in serum of collagen-induced arthritic mice. Histological observation also indicated that the CAS-treated group showed less breakdown of joint cartilage of the collagen-treated mice. In contrast, C. officinalis alone or a combination of A. japonica and S. subprostrata did not show significant inhibitory action on the same animal model. Thus, it is thought that CAS possesses a synergistic inhibitory action on arthritic condition. All these results strongly suggest that CAS may be a potential anti-arthritic agent.

To increase the efficiency of the hydraulic axial piston pumps, it is need to know the various characteristics in the sliding contact parts of them. Especially, friction characteristics between the cylinder block and the valve plate in the hydraulic axial piston pumps plays an important role to high power density. In this paper, we tried to clarify friction characteristics between the cylinder block and the spherical valve plate in bent-axis-type axial piston pump in experimentally. Results are arranged as follow; (1) friction torque between the cylinder block and the spherical valve plate has a proportional relation to weight or rotational speed, and is strongly affected by temperature. (2) Friction torque strongly depends on force balance ratio in valve plate. (3) In this experiment, lubrication condition between the cylinder block and the spherical valve plate is under hydrodynamic lubrication.

The cytotoxic and antitumor activity of 23,24-dihydrocucurbitacin D (dhc D) isolated from Bryonia alba L. was examined. Our results showed that dhc D strongly inhibited the viability of the cultured cancer cells, A-549, COLO 205, SK-MEL-2, and L121O. It also exhibited effective antitumor activity in ICR mice, which had been intra peritoneally implanted with sarcoma 180 ascites tumor cells. The dhc D also strongly inhibited the viability of immortalized macrophages RAW 264.7, but not normal peritoneal macrophages. These results indicate that dhc D has antiproliferative effect on cancer cells and it may more sensitive on immortalized cells than normal cells.

In this note, we introduce the Fire Sequencing Problem, which arises in military operations. Given m weapons, n fixed targets nad required duration of firing of the weapons on the targets, we want to determine the start time of firing on each target so that makespan is miniized while satisfying various operational constraints. We show that the decision problem of the Fire Sequencing problem is strongly NP-complete and remains strongly NP-complete even if the number of weapons is two. We also briefly discuss the results with respect to the complexities of several well-known scheduling models.

In the present paper, we first give some examples of self-mappings which are asymptoticaly nonexpansive in the intermediate, not strictly hemicontractive, but satisfy the property (H). It is then shown that the modified Mann and Ishikawa iteration processes defined by $x_{n+1}=(1-\alpha_n)x_n+\alpha_nT^nx_n\ and\ x_{n+1}=(1-\alpha_n)x_n+\alpha_nT^n[(1-\beta_n)x_n+\beta_nT^nx_n]$,respectively, converges strongly to the unique fixed point of such a self-mapping in general Banach spaces.

We study the structure of rings whose principal right ideals contain a sort of two-sided ideals, introducing right ${\pi}$-duo as a generalization of (weakly) right duo rings. Abelian ${\pi}$-regular rings are ${\pi}$-duo, which is compared with the fact that Abelian regular rings are duo. For a right ${\pi}$-duo ring R, it is shown that every prime ideal of R is maximal if and only if R is a (strongly) ${\pi}$-regular ring with $J(R)=N_*(R)$. This result may be helpful to develop several well-known results related to pm rings (i.e., rings whose prime ideals are maximal). We also extend the right ${\pi}$-duo property to several kinds of ring which have roles in ring theory.
