In order to evaluate the thrust of a propulsion system, generally the captive thrust stand is used Based on the applied propulsion system, the various captive ways between thrust stand and the propulsion system are considered. In this paper, the effect of motor deformation generated during firing in horizontal thrust stand on the measured thrust is theoretically derived from classical beam theory. New flexure performance index is defined and estimated on the basis of the thrust measurement error. Its result is good agreement with numerical result of ABAQUS. This study showed that measurement reliability and safety of test can be highly upgraded, in case of two flexure-type captive thrust stand.

The effectiveness of the repair scheme for the damaged captive-columns with CFRPs (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer) was investigated in terms of response quantities such as strength, ductility, dissipated energy and stiffness degradation. Two 1/3 scale, one-story one-bay RC (Reinforced Concrete) frames were designed to represent the substandard RC buildings in Turkish building stock. The first one, which is the reference specimen, is the bare frame without infill wall. Partial infill wall with opening was constructed between the columns of the second frame and this caused captive column defect. Severe damage was observed with the concentration of shear cracks in the second specimen columns. Then, the damaged members were repaired by CFRP wrapping and retested. For the three test series, similar reversed cyclic lateral displacement under combined effect of axial load was applied to the top of the columns. Overall response of the bare frame was dominated by flexural cracks. Brittle type of shear failure in the column top ends was observed in the specimen with partial infill wall. It was observed that former capacity of damaged members of the second frame was recovered by the applied repair scheme. Moreover, ultimate displacement capacity of the damaged frame was improved considerably by CFRP wrapping.

This paper presents the results of prediction of maneuverability of KCS by CPMC captive model test. The CPMC(Computerized Planar Motion Carriage) with captive model test equipment is installed at Ocean Engineering Tank of MOERI. KCS is the container ship which was open to the world by MOERI. And the test results for the prediction of maneuverability were presented by NMRI in Japan. The research results about the maneuverability of KCS were presented at SIMMAN 2008 Workshop in Denmark. The results of test and simulation of this paper are compared with the results of simulation by MOERI using test results of NMRI and simulation results by NMRI.

X-plane submarines show better maneuverability as they have much longer span of control plane than that of cross plane submarines. In this study, captive model tests were conducted to evaluate the maneuverability of an X-plane submarine using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and a mathematical maneuvering model. For CFD analysis, SNUFOAM, CFD software specialized in naval hydrodynamics based on the open-source toolkit, OpenFOAM, was applied. A generic submarine Joubert BB2 was selected as a test model, which was modified by Maritime Research Institute Netherlands (MARIN). Captive model tests including propeller open water, resistance, self-propulsion, static drift, horizontal planar motion mechanism and vertical planar motion mechanism tests were carried out to obtain maneuvering coefficients of the submarine. Maneuvering simulations for turning circle tests were performed using the maneuvering coefficients obtained from the captive model tests. The simulated trajectory showed good agreement with that of free running model tests. From the results, it was proved that CFD simulations can be applicable to obtain reliable maneuvering coefficients for X-plane submarines.

In this review, we compared the success rates of DNA amplification and introduced the efficient non-invasive sampling of fecal samples collected from captive and wild Korean long-tailed gorals (Naemorhedus caudatus) by referring to previous non-invasive studies, including three important references (Kim et al., 2008; Kim, 2021; Kim, 2022). A large difference in PCR success rates in the captive and wild populations was observed for mitochondrial (100 and 70.0%), sex-linked (44.4 and 20.8%), and microsatellite markers (73.9 and 34.8%, respectively). Out of the three types of genetic markers, the mitochondrial maker showed the highest success rate, followed by microsatellite and sex-linked markers. In addition, we estimated two factors that affected the PCR success, including the length of the amplified fragments (long, medium, and short) and the type of primer (universal and specific) in fecal samples from a captive population. The length of the PCR fragment was inversely proportional to the PCR success (5.3, 44.4, and 55.6% for long, medium, and short fragments, respectively), and the specific primer set (100%) was more efficient than the universal primer set (60.0%). This review is fundamental but would be greatly helpful for new non-invasive conservation genetic studies, particularly those that use fecal samples from captive and wild populations of rare endangered species. We recommend beginning conservation genetic experiments using mitochondrial markers and then nuclear markers, such as microsatellite and sex-linked markers, to save time, costs, and labor.

To determine the movement patterns, home range, and use of structural features of captive-bred one- or two-year-old Amur ratsnake (Elaphe schrenckii) juveniles in the natural habitat, we radio-tracked a total of 11 juvenile snakes in a mountain valley in Chiaksan National Park, South Korea, between August 21 and September 20, 2010 and between June 13 and July 13, 2011. During the first week of the release, most juveniles moved short distances, daily, but they increased their distances after the first week. The body weight of the juveniles was negatively related with the movement rate (dividing the number of movements by the number of relocations), which was positively related with the mean daily distances moved and the size of both a kernel 50% and 95% home range. During the study period, the juveniles moved daily, approximately 17 m, and the size of the minimum convex polygon and the 50% and 95% kernel home ranges were 1.8 ha, 0.4 ha, and 3.0 ha, respectively. The released captive-bred juveniles were more frequently confirmed underground or on the ground rather than on rocks or on trees. Our results suggest that the body condition of released individuals, the seasonal time of the release, and the existence of available prey and shelters in the habitat should be carefully considered when releasing captive-bred Amur ratsnake juveniles for the rehabilitation of field populations.

The captive model test of submerged body using CPMC(Computerized Planar Motion Carriage) was carried out at the Ocean Basin of KORDI/MOERI. The target model is a submarine with general hullform. The forces and moments acting on the submerged body were measured by 6-axis waterproof gage. The oblique motion test and turning test were carried out in horizontal and vertical planes of the model. Maneuvering coefficients and derivatives were obtained from the test results. The stability indices in horizontal and vertical planes were obtained by using maneuvering derivatives. In this paper the introduction of test equipment and test results are presented.

Hematology and serum chemistry data were collected over a 12-yr period for California sea lion (Zalophus californianus) in Everland zoological Gardens. The objective of this study was to determine hematology and serum chemistry values for the California sea lion lived in fresh-water captive environment, including a comparison between male and female. The results didn't show any difference between male and female in statistics. However, hyponatremia was shown in some case compared with reported blood data of California sea lion. That was supposed that it was associated with a fresh-water captive environment.

A captive trajectory simulation (CTS) system is used to investigate the separation behavior of the store model by moving the model to an arbitrary pose and position based on aerodynamic data. A CTS system operated inside a wind tunnel is designed to match the structure of the wind tunnel facility. As a result, each CTS system has different kinematic structure, and inverse kinematic analysis of the system is necessary. In this study, kinematic/inverse kinematic analysis for the CTS system with functional redundancy is performed. Inverse kinematic analysis with combined numerical and analytical approach is especially proposed. The suggested approach utilizes the redundancy to improve the safety of the system, and has advantages in real time analysis.
