We tested five specimens of each species at each of five constant external heat flux levels (10, 15, 20, 25. and 35㎾/㎡). An Cone heater was used to expose the wood specimens to the heat flux. The 100-by 100-by 50-㎜ specimens were of four species: Redwood, White oak, Douglas fir, Maple. In result of test, charring of wood exposed to a constant external heat flux can be considered a linear with function of time. As compared with the charring rates Redwood is most rapidly, but on the other hand Douglas fir is most slowly. When the external heat flux is 35㎾/㎡, the charring rate is rapidly about twice then 10㎾/㎡. Using the Equation (2), the estimates for u were 1.02, 1.16, 1.23, 1.32, and 1.44 for the 10, 15, 20, 25, and 35 kw/m2 constant external exposure levels, respectively.

The purpose of this study was to examines the burning rate of fire retardant treated wood in the cone heater with a one-dimensional integral model. The wood samples used in this study were four species. The species of woods are Redwood, White oak, Douglas fir and Maple. Each sample was nominally 50mm thick and 100mm square. Samples were exposed to a range of incident heat fluxes 10 to $35kW/m^2$ using the cone heater. A one-dimension integral model has been used to predict burning rate, heat of gasification, flame heat fluxes, charring rate and char depth of samples. As a result measurement of mass loss rate, softwoods(Redwood and Douglas fir) has relatively low value than those for hardwoods(White oak and Maple). Average charring rate of woods in case of fire retardant treatment showed reduction effect of 41.29%, 50.00%, 48.18% and 60.82% for Redwood, Douglas fir, White fir and Maple, respectively. Almost all the predictions from integral model showed faster charring than those measured. Average difference between predictions and experimental data was 16%, 9.5% and 11.8% for N, F1 and F2 respectively. Water-soluble fire retardant used in this study find out more effect in hardwood than softwood from the result of measurement of mass loss rate and average charring rate.

In this paper it is proved that for p-hyponormal or log-hyponormal operator A there exist an associated hyponormal operator T, a quasi-affinity X and an injection operator Y such that TX = XA and AY = YT. The operator A and T have the same spectral picture. We apply these results to give brief proofs of some well known spectral properties of p-hyponormal and log­hyponormal operators, amongst them that the spectrum is a con­tinuous function on these classes of operators.

In this paper we prove that if T is a k-th root of a p­hyponormal operator when T is compact or T$^{n}$ is normal for some integer n > k, then T is (generalized) scalar, and that if T is a k-th root of a semi-hyponormal operator and have the property $\sigma$(T) is contained in an angle < 2$\pi$/k with vertex in the origin, then T is subscalar.

Let $A, B{\in}B(H)$ be Hilbert space contractions, and let ${\Delta}_{AB}$ be the elementary operator ${\Delta}_{AB}:X{\rightarrow}AXB-X$. A number of conditions which are equivalent to '${\Delta}_{AB}$ has closed range' are proved.

Currently, there is a lack of suitable prediction model and measurement data for vegetation loss. So in this paper, vegetation loss measurement has been performed for seven different tree-species, including dawn-redwood tree, plane tree, pine tree and hymalaya cedar in the frequency range of $1.0{\sim}6.0\;GHz$, for the two years, from 2005 to 2006 years. And then, extraction and revision for the proposed RET model input parameters in ITU-R P.833 has been performed. The key results of measurement and RET modeling has been presented in this paper. The results of this study have been adapted for ITU-R recommendation at the ITU-R meeting in 2005 and 2006.

Existing methods for optimization of sequences by random mutagenesis generate libraries with a small number of mostly deleterious mutations, resulting in libraries containing a large fraction of non-functional clones that explore only a small part of sequence space. Large numbers of clones need to be screened to find the rare mutants with improvements. Library display formats are useful to screen very large libraries but impose screening limitations that limit the value of this approach for most commercial applications. By contrast, in both classical breeding and in DNA shuffling, natural diversity is permutated by homologous recombination, generating libraries of very high quality, from which improved clones can be identified with a small number of complex screens. Given that this small number of screens can be performed under the conditions of actual use of the product, commercially relevant improvements can be reliably obtained.

Let $\mathcal{QA}$ denote the class of bounded linear Hilbert space operators T which satisfy the operator inequality $T^*|T^2|T{\geq}T^*|T|^2T$. Let $f$ be an analytic function defined on an open neighbourhood $\mathcal{U}$ of ${\sigma}(T)$ such that $f$ is non-constant on the connected components of $\mathcal{U}$. We generalize a theorem of Sheth [10] to $f(T){\in}\mathcal{QA}$.

Let T be a bounded linear operator on a complex infinite dimensional Hilbert space $\scr{H}$. We say that T is a quasi-class A operator if $T^*\|T^2\|T{\geq}T^*\|T\|^2T$. In this paper we prove that if T is a quasi-class A operator and f is a function analytic on a neigh-borhood or the spectrum or T, then f(T) satisfies Weyl's theorem and f($T^*$) satisfies a-Weyl's theorem.

Rule inconsistency is an important issue that is needed to be addressed while designing efficient and optimal fuzzy rule bases. Automatic generation of fuzzy rules from data sets, using machine learning techniques, can generate a significant number of redundant and inconsistent rules. In this study we have shown that it is possible to provide a systematic approach to understand the fuzzy rule inconsistency problem by using the proposed measure called the Commonality measure. Apart from introducing this measure, this paper describes an algorithm to optimize a fuzzy rule base using it. The optimization procedure performs elimination of redundant and/or inconsistent fuzzy rules from a rule base.
