Because most of the passengers are not accustomed with onboard environments, it is very important to analyze and predict the behaviors' characteristics of passengers under disasters' conditions, and apply those results for making countermeasures. On this view point, this study focused on the walking characteristics of onboard-novices are tested and analyzed under blackout condition that has high possibility to happen. As a result, comparing to under normal lighting conditions, the waking times under blackout conditions are 155.8~247.1 % longer on full path, 56.9~331.7 % on corridors, 75.3~152.9 % on stairs, respectively. And under the same blackout conditions, walking times in cases of the exit guidance marks being attached on top side of walls saved times, like 21.6~24.0 % on full path, 37.7~58.9 % on corridors, 18.7~19.2 % on stairs, comparing to the cases of exit guidance marks being not attached. On the other hand, after tests under without exit guidance marks, 60.7% among respondents answered that internal structures like wall/stair (35.7 %) and handrail (25 %) are very helpful to decide way findings, and 28.6 % selected personal instincts is important. But 50 % responded that exit guide marks are effective to find ways, after the tests under with exit guidance marks.

During mitosis. the proper segregation of duplicated chromosomes is corrdinated by a spindle check-point. The bifurcated spindle checkpoint blocks cell cycle progression at metaphase by monitoring unattached kinetochores and inhibits mitotic exit in response to the misorientation of the mitotic spin- dle Ibd1p/Bfa1p is a spindle checkpoint regulator of budding yeast in the Bub2p checkpoint pathway for mitotic exit and its disruption abolishes mitotic arrest when proper organization of the mitotic spin-dls inhibited. Ibd1p/Bfa1p localizes to the spindle pole body, a microtublue-organizing center in yeast, and its overexpression arrests the cell cycle in 80% of cells with an enlarged budy at mitosis and in 20 % of cells with multiple buds. In this study, we found that the C-terminus of Ibd1p/Bfa1p phys-ically interacts with Skp1p, a key component of SCF (Skp1/cullin/F-box) complex for ubiquition-medi-ated proteolysis of cel cycle regulatores as well as an evolutionally conserved kinetochore protein for cell cycle progression. A putative F-box motif was found in the C-terminus of Ibd1p/Bfa1p and its function was investigated by making mutants of conserved residues in the motif. These Ibd1p/Bfa1p mutants of a putative F-box interacted with SKp1p in vitro by two-hybrid assays as wild type Ibd1p/Bfa1p. Also these Ibd1p/Bfa1p utants displayed the overexpression phenotypes of wild type Ibd1p, when over-expressed under inducible promoters . These results suggest that a putative F-box motif of Ibd1p/Bfa1p is not essential for the interaction with SKp1p and its function in mitotic exit and cytokinesis.

Analysis of flow phenomena in a centrifugal compressor impeller has been carried out with numerical simulation to understand the physics of flow near stall. Near stall point, tip leakage flow spills ahead of the leading edge of adjacent blade and other leakage flow passes over the clearance of the adjacent blade instead of rolling up into vortex within the passage. The tip leakage flow at the mid chord of impeller blade impinges against the pressure surface of the adjacent blade and then rolls up into vortex within the passage, which blocks the flow passage and generates viscous loss. The spillage of leakage flow ahead of the adjacent blade generates the recirculation of flow entering the impeller, which causes the power transferred into the flow by the impeller to decrease and blocks the flow passage. Near diffuser hub wall, flow recirculation occurs. As operating point goes to stall point, the core of recirculation approaches the impeller exit The length rises to peak point and then drops with mass flow reduction, while the height steadily rises.

It has been indicated that the rotor/stator interaction has distinct causes of unsteadiness, such as the viscous vortex shedding, wake/stator interaction and potential rotor/stator interaction. In this paper, the mechanism of unsteady potential interaction in one stage axial compressor is numerically investigated for blade row ratio 1:1 and 2:3 at design point and for blade row ratio 2:3 at off-design point in two-dimensional view point. The numerical technique used is the upwind scheme of Van-Leer's Flux Vector Splitting(FVS) and Cubic spline interpolation is applied on zonal interface. In this study the flow unsteadiness due to potential interaction are found to be larger in blade row ratio 2:3 than in 1:1. The total pressure rise in blade row ratio 2:3 is closer to the real value in design point than that in 1:1. The change of unsteady pressure amplitude according to the variation of stator exit pressure is very small.

In order to design of emergency ventilation systems, the smoke movements in tunnel fire with natural and forced ventilation were investigated. Reduced-scale experiments were carried out under the Froude scaling with novel fire source consisting many wicks. Temperature profiles were measured under the ceiling and vertical direction along the center of the tunnel and poisonous gases were measured at emergency exit point in the natural ventilation case. In forced ventilation, temperature profiles were measured with various flow rate to obtain critical velocity. The results showed that the interval of emergency exit having 225m was estimated reasonably through the measurements of temperature variation and poisonous gas in the natural ventilation. In the case of forced ventilation, the temperature distribution near fire source is remarkably different from that of natural ventilation. Also, the critical velocity to prevent upstream smoke flow has the range of 0.57m/s between 0.64m/s. Finally, it was also identified that although the increase of flow rate can suppress the backward flow of smoke to upstream direction, brings about the increase of flame intensity near stoichiometric fuel/air ratio.

In this study, smoke movement in tunnel fire with natural and longitudinal ventilation systems has been investigated. Reduced-scale experiments were carried out under the Froude scaling using 14.55kW fire source with a wick and experimental data is obtained with 1/18 model tunnel test. Temperature profiles were measured under the ceiling and vertical direction along the center of the tunnel and poisonous gas was measured at emergency exit point. The results show that refuge time for 225m intervals of emergency exit in case of natural ventilation systems is 256 seconds and critical velocity for sufficient back-layer prevention is 2.8m/s for fire strength of 20MW.

CFRP(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics) has many industrial applications due to its low weight and high strength properties. Due to its superior properties, for example, excellent resistance to fatigue wear, corrosion, and breakage from fatigue, it has been widely applicable to aircraft, automotive, and medical industries and so on. The main machining for CFRP is drilling, and route milling. In case of drilling, the machining defects such as the delamination of each layer, uncut fiber, resin burning, spalling, and exit burrs are inevitable. The issue to remove such kind of defects is necessary to make CFRP parts successful. From this point of view, this paper investigates the removal effectiveness of machining defects existing at exit region with different type of tool geometries. Consequently, based on the experiments, the tool geometry is most impact factor to remove uncut fiber or resin.

A calibration jet system using separate blower is developed to calibrate a flow sensor effectively. Designed open circuit type mini calibration jet system, which has the dimension of $0.5m(W){\times}1.17m(H)$ is small compared with conventional calibration jet systems. The exit of nozzle has exchangeable contractions with a cross section area of $38.5cm^2$ , and a cross section area of $113.1cm^2$, respectively. The ranges of wind speed at exit of exchangeable nozzles are $7.5{\sim}42\;m/s$ and $1.8{\sim}16.5\;m/s$, respectively. The input power for the high pressure blower is 1.18kW. The turning vanes for corner was rolled flat plate parallel to the flow direction. The flow conditioning screen was located immediately downstream of the wide-angle diffuser. The honeycomb and two flow conditioning screens were located in the stagnation chamber. From the economical point of view and the simplicity of the calibration jet system set up and handling, it can be said that the developed calibration jet system is an effective calibration jet system. This system can also be used to calibrate the flow sensor with high resolution.

In the present study, the flow characteristics of developing turbulent flows are investigated at the exit region of a square cross-sectional 180" curved duct with dimensions of 40mm$\times$40mm$\times$4000mm (height $\times$ width $\times$length). Smoke particles produced from mosquito coils were used as seed particles for the LDV measurement. Experiments were carried out to measure axial velocity profiles, shear stress distributions and entrance lengths by using an LDV system and Rotating Machinery Resolver RMR with PHASE software. Experimental results clearly show that the time-averaged Reynolds number does not affect oscillatory flow characteristics because the turbulent components tend to balance the oscillatory components in the fully developed flow region. Also, the velocity profiles are in good agreement with 1/7power law such as the results of steady turbulent flows. The turbulent intensity linearly increases along the walls and is slightly higher, especially in the period of deceleration. On the other hand, the LDV measurements show that shear stress values in slightly higher in the period of deceleration due to the flow characteristics in the exit region. The entrance length where flows become stable appears at the point that is 40 times the length of hydraulic diameter.eter.

Supersonic Dual Bell Nozzle (SDBN) is an altitude-adaptive propulsion nozzle achieved only by a nozzle wall inflection. In order to investigate the altitude adaptive capability and the effectiveness of this nozzle concept, the present study addresses a computational work of the flow through SDBN. Several types of the SDBNs are tested for a wide range of the pressure ratio which covers from an over-expended flow to a fully under-expended flow at the exit of the SDBN. Axisymmetric, compressible, Wavier-Stokes equations are numerically solved using a fully implicit finite volume differencing scheme. The present computational results reveal that the base nozzle length affects the shock wave system occurring inside SDBN. For a quit wide range of the pressure ratio the flow separation occurs at the nozzle inflection point. It is found that the maximum thrust coefficient is obtainable for the correct expansion state at the exit of SDBN.
