Re water resistance of shell fabrics intended for we in outdoor apparel was measured using three different standard test methods, ASTM D 751, hydrostatic resistance, procedure A(Mullen test -- with and without a fabric support) and Procedure B (Hydrostatic head test). A database of information on their water resistance performance was created. The data collected with different methods were correlated and the advantages and disadvantages of each method were compared. The Mullen test with a support appears to give higher and more favorable water resistance values on shell fabrics preventing fabric rupture during the test. The hydrostatic head test gave lower hydrostatic pressure values than those measured on the two Mullen tests. The Mullen test is recommended for testing the water resistance of fabrics that high a relatively high water resistance because the Mullen tester applies a wide range of pressure. The hydrostatic head test is recommended for testing the fabrics that have relatively low water resistance. The area of the fabric sample that is in contact with the water is smaller in the Mullen test, so higher pressure levels can be reached and more samples should probably be tested to get a representative value for each fabric types. Furthermore, the hydrostatic head test was deemed more repeatable than the Mullen tests in his study.

The collapsible phenomena of the circular tubes due to the excessive transmural pressure are investigated experimentally. Collapsible tubes are installed in the test section where the external pressure is applied to the test tubes by applying the hydrostatic head. The collapsible circular tubes are made of rubber, whose diameters are 6 and 4.2 mm, respectively. The hydrostatic water head of the upper reservoir is applied to the test section. Pressures at the upstream and downstream sides are measured by the pressure transducers. The collapsible phenomena are observed as the transmural pressure Increases, and also the flutter phenomenon occurs due to the critical transmural pressure.

An attempt was made to study circulatory and respiratory responses to the passive tilt. Anesthetized dogs were tilted from horizontal to upright $(+90^{\circ})$ and head down $(-90^{\circ})$ position. The arterial blood pressure was decreased in the upright position and was decreased slightly in the head down position comparing to that in the horizontal position. Cardiac index also decreased in the both upright and head down positions. The total systemic vascular resistance was slightly increased in the upright position and was markedly increased in the head down position. The mean pulmonary arterial pressure was significantly decreased in the both upright and head down positions. The total pulmonary vascular resistance was decreased in the both upright and head down positions. Oxygen consumption was slightly decreased in the upright position, whereas it was slightly increased in the head down position. The A-V $O_2$ difference (vol. %) was slightly increased in the upright position and increased in the head down position. From the above results, process of the circulatory compensation to the gravity in the Passive tilting test was discussed. Neuronal cardiovascular regulation to the gravity and tile adaptation of capacitance vessles to hydrostatic stress and oxygen consumption concerning anoxic endurance of the brain were also discussed.

A weakly nonlinear seakeeping methodology for predicting motions and loads is presented in this paper. This methodology assumes linear radiation and diffraction forces, calculated in the frequency domain, and fully nonlinear Froude-Krylov and hydrostatic forces, evaluated in the time domain. The particular approach employed here allows to overcome numerical problems connected to the determination of the impulse response functions. The procedure is divided into three consecutive steps: evaluation of dynamic sinkage and trim in calm water that can significantly influence the final results, a linear seakeeping analysis in the frequency domain and a weakly nonlinear simulation. The first two steps are performed employing a three-dimensional Rankine panel method. Nonlinear Froude-Krylov and hydrostatic forces are computed in the time domain by pressure integration on the actual wetted surface at each time step. Although nonlinear forces are evaluated into the time domain, the equations of motion are solved in the frequency domain iteratively passing from the frequency to the time domain until convergence. The containership S175 is employed as a test case for evaluating the capability of this methodology to correctly predict the nonlinear behavior related to wave induced motions and loads in head seas; numerical results are compared with experimental data provided in literature.

This study was to examine the drying characteristics of barley and the effect of moisture content of barley on milling performance. A barley variety, Jogang, having 35.0% of initial moisture content was used for this experiment. Thermo-hydrostatic dryer which consists of blower, condensor, heater, humidifier, drying chamber and control box, etc., was used for the drying experiment. The change in the weight of a barley sample was continuously measured by means of the ring type load cell installed inside the drying chamber. Milling test runs the samples having the predetermined moisture content were taken from each drying test run. A laboratory type barley miller was used for the milling test. The results of the study are summarized as follows: 1. The drying constants (k) applied for the thin layer drying model, (M-Me)/(Mo-Me) = $Ae^{-kt}$ were 0.155, 0.259 and 0.548, respectively, at the three levels of drying temperatures, $40^{\circ}C$, $50^{\circ}C$ and $60^{\circ}C$. The drying constants complied with the Arrhenius Equation, K = Ko exp (-C/T), were determined as $Ko=1.901455{\times}10^8$ and C = 6563. 2. The laboratory milling test indicated that the highest milled and head barley recovery was resulted from the sample which was dryed at $40^{\circ}C$. In general, the increase in the drying temperature from $40^{\circ}C$ to $60^{\circ}C$ indicated a negative effect on milling yields. 3. Also, the sample having 15% M.C. presented the highest milled and head barley recovery among the five moisture content levels (12, 15, 18,21 and 24%).

Primary water stress corrosion cracking (PWSCC) has been observed around the weld region of control rod drive mechanism (CRDM) nozzles in nuclear power plants overseas. The weld has a J-shaped groove and it connects the CRDM nozzle with the reactor vessel upper head (RVUH). It is a dissimilar metal weld (DMW), because the CRDM is made of alloy 600 and the RVUH is made of carbon steel. In this study, finite element analysis (FEA) was performed to estimate the stress condition around the weld region. Generally, it is known that a high tensile region is more susceptible to PWSCC. FEA was performed as for the condition of welding, hydrostatic test and normal operation successively to observe how the residual stress changes due to plant condition. The FEA results show that a high tensile stress region is formed around the weld starting point on the inner surface and around the weld stop point on the outer surface.
