  • The present study, based on Tiffany Field's model of violence and intimacy as well as other previous research, examines the relationship between parents' physical affection and their child's aggressive behavior. One hundred seventy-five mothers and 124 fathers of Japanese preschoolers answered a questionnaire that included a parental physical affection scale developed for this study. Children's aggressive behaviors were rated by their teachers on the hostile-aggressive subscale of the Preschool Behavior Questionnaire. Consistent with Field's model and previous studies, the results of logistic regression analyses indicated that children who received more physical affection from mothers or fathers during daily parenting were less likely to be aggressive at preschool. When the mother's and the father's physical affection scores were simultaneously entered in the equation, only the father's score was significant. Implications and limitations of the research are discussed.

  • It has come to attention that a risk-assessing organization, that will benchmark a company's safety department, is imperative, following an increase in large-scale SOC-business project, construction of higher-raised buildings, development of underground space; all that have increase accident rates. Having faced problems that arise in firms that demand diversity, complexity and instantaneity, the purpose of the thesis is to arrive at efficient and practical problem-solving means. In order to solve the problems that would surface theoretically during an actual risk assessment, the state of the operation systems of the top five national construction firms having a hazard rate of 0.25 times less than the average rate have been analyzed, while a hierarchal recognition research of the employees who not only function at the operating level but are the practice subjects of a firm, has also been conducted, bringing the main text.

  • A thermal-hydraulic code, named CUPID, has been being developed for the realistic analysis of transient two-phase flows in nuclear reactor components. The CUPID code development was motivated from very practical needs, including the analyses of a downcomer boiling, a two-phase flow mixing in a pool, and a two-phase flow in a direct vessel injection system. The CUPID code adopts a two-fluid, three-field model for two-phase flows, and the governing equations are solved over unstructured grids with a semi-implicit two-step method. This paper presents an overview of the CUPID code development and assessment strategy. It also presents the code couplings with a system code, MARS, and, a three-dimensional reactor kinetics code, MASTER.

  • In this article, wave propagation characteristics in magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) nanotube considering shell model is studied in the framework nonlocal theory. To account for the small-scale effects, the Eringen's nonlocal elasticity theory of is applied. Nonlocal governing equations of MEE nanotube have been derived utilizing Hamilton's principle. The results of this investigation have been accredited by comparing them of previous studies. An analytical solution of governing equations is used to obtain phase velocities and wave frequencies. The influences of different parameters, such as different mode, nonlocal parameter, length parameter, geometry, magnetic field and electric field on wave propagation responses of MEE nanotube are expressed in detail.

  • For an accurate prediction of the temperature field induced by heated water discharged into a shallow crossflow, a two-dimensional near-field numerical model is developed. It is based on a 4-equation turbulence model in which the transport equations for mean of the temperature fluctuation squared and its dissipation rate are added to those of a 2-equation turbulence model which cannot give the information of the thermal time scale ratio. Vertical diffusion is also considered by including buoyancy production and turbulence heat flux terms. The developed model is applied to a steady flow in an open channel with simple geometry and the results are compared with existing experimental data and those of the already established 2-equation turbulence model. Numerical results of the model agree with the experimental data better than those of the 2-equation model. The present model also simulates quite adequately the physical characteristics of thermal discharge in the jet entrainment and stable regions.

  • In previous model- and full-scale studies, high-amplitude vertical vibrations of mast-arm traffic signal structures have been shown to be due to vortex shedding, a phenomenon in which alternatingly shed, low-pressure vortices induce oscillating forces onto the mast-arm causing a cross-wind response. When the frequency of vortices being shed from the mast-arm corresponds to the natural frequency of the structure, a resonant condition is created causing long-lasting, high-amplitude vibrations which may lead to the fatigue failure of these structures. Turbulence in the approach flow is known to affect the cohesiveness of vortex shedding. Results from this full-scale investigation indicate that the surrounding terrain conditions, which affect the turbulence intensity of the wind, greatly influence the likelihood of occurrence of long-lasting, high-amplitude vibrations and also impact whether reduced service life due to fatigue is likely to be of concern.

  • Characteristics of spatial structure of particle clusters are investigated by using the flow field data obtained from three-dimensional numerical simulations. Eulerian/Lagrangian approach with two-way coupling is applied and individual particle-particle collisions are taken into account by using the hard-sphere model. More than 16 million particles are traced in the maximum case. The results show that the cluster is consisted from the multiple-spatial scale components while the low wave-number, hence the large-scale structure, is dominant. Three-dimensional structure reconstructed from the low-pass filtered data enables us to investigate the essential dynamics of particle clusters in detail.

  • We reconstruct the large-scale initial density field from the distribution of galaxies observed by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). After adding the small-scale fluctuations to match the power spectrum to that of the standard LCDM model, we make a cosmological N-body simulation of formation of structures from the initial conditions. Properties of the objects formed in the simulation can be statistically compared with those of the observed SDSS galaxies. The simulation makes it possible to know the past history of evolution of objects located in different environments, and also gives us information on the environmental parameters that cannot be directly obtained observationally. It is hoped that this comparative study leads us to better understanding of formation and evolution of galaxies in conjunction with large-scale structures in the universe.

  • In this paper, the characteristics of moisture ventilation in the lithium ion battery manufacturing dry room are studied numerically using standard $k-\varepsilon$ turbulence model. Both the steady-state and the unsteady behaviors of moisture ventilation are analyzed by considering local and uniform moisture generation. In order to evaluate the characteristics of moisture ventilation, three scales of ventilation efficiency and characteristic ventilation time are presented from the numerical results. It was shown that moisture distribution was dependent strongly on the flow field. The characteristics of moisture ventilation were improved by 20% and 40% in terms of the 1st scale of ventilation efficiency (SVE1) and the 2nd scale of ventilation efficiency (SVE2), respectively, through the modifications of design variables such as the addition of inlets, outlets and partition. A significant improvement in the characteristic ventilation time and the moisture exhaust efficiency was also made by these modifications.

  • This paper describes the feasibility of compacting subgrade layer in thicker lifts than currently permitted as 20 cm. This project involved constructing and testing a full scale test section in highway. Soil stiffness in field was evaluated by a nondestructive testing method, called Geogage. Quality control tests and FE Analysis were also conducted. Typical dynamic compaction roller of 11ton weight is applied for full scale test and a Mohr-Coulomb model and Plane strain condition are used for FE Analysis. The results showed that compaction-induced stress and dissipated energy are mainly depend on depth of soil and it could be possible to increase thickness of a lift.
