Among mechanical friction losses in an engine, the piston assembly and cylinder components accounts for the majority of the losses. The movable bore technique has been developed and turned out to be the most reliable technique in measuring the instantaneous friction of piston assembly. The weakness of this system, however, was the presence of the protruded top of movable bore necessary for pressure balancing. Because of the protruded part the piston could not be taken out without disassembling the crankshaft. Present study was carried out with a system of removable top of the movable bore so that it was possible to make frequent piston removals. The effects from engine speed, oil viscosity, engine load and elastic contact pressure of piston rings on the frictional characteristics have been evaluated with the improved equipment. Also, frictions of each member of piston assembly were measured.

AC loss is an important issue in the design of high-T$_{c}$ superconducting power cables which consist of a number of Bi-2223 tapes wound on a former. In the cables, the tapes have different critical currents intrinsically. And they are electrically connected to each other and current leads. These make loss measurements considerably complex, especially for short samples of laboratory size. So special cautions are required in the positioning of voltage leads for measuring the true loss voltage. In this work we have prepared a conductor composed of three Bi-2223 tapes with different critical currents. The ac loss characteristics in the conductor have experimentally investigated. The loss tests indicate that the ac loss is dependent on arrangements of voltage leads but not on their contact positions. The measured losses in the conductor also agree well with the sum of the transport losses measured in each Bi-2223 tape.e.

AC loss is one of the important superconducting power machine that we have to consider deeply using the stack wires with the HTS. AC magnetic field is occurred around the wires when the electric current is conducted to the stack wires. It also brings electric field to the wires and occurs self field loss, whose quantity is appeared differently by distance of the stack wires. In this paper, transport current losses of a stack short sample of HTS were compared with Norris equation and measured value.

Interface management problems inherent in construction projects hamper their successful delivery. Therefore, this study aimed at determining the most important project interfaces in construction works in Nigeria in terms of most significant potential impacts, so that management attention are objectively focused on potential highest impacting project interfaces. From a review of literature, 28 project interfaces management issues were identified and categorized. Structured questionnaires were used to collect data concerning the impact (estimated losses to the project in terms of cost) and probability of occurrence of the identified interfaces. The interfaces were ranked using their computed Matrix Scores (MS). The results reveal that "project-workers interfaces problem manifested in use of inappropriate mixes" is the highest impacting. A ranking of the interface categories also reveal that the interfaces at the execution phase of a project (MS = 1226.79) are those that could result in the highest losses to the project.

This study describes energy and exergy analysis of the Maeeum-Ri Geothermal District Heating System(MGDHS) of Ganghwa Island, Incheon, Korea. Design data are used to assess the performance of the geothermal district heating system. Geothermal resources of MGDHS are found to be low quality with specific exergy index of 0.029. Exergy losses occur in the pumps and heat exchangers as well as in the geothermal Quid and direct discharge. As a result, the total exergy losses accounts for 5.2% in pumps, 47% in the discharge, and 3.3% in heat exchanger based on the total exergy input to the entire MGDHS. The overall energy and exergy efficiencies of the system are found to be 28.8% and 44.5%, respectively.

This article try to show the results from three cooking methods of a steak in 150 g by way of roasting cooking, braising cooking, microwave cooking. I observed the cooking time, standing time and post processing temperature rice of three steaks coming to 70 $^{\circ}C$ by means of roasing, braising and microwave, respectively, The results are shown in the followings: It is shown that Microwave cooking takes the shortest cooking time and the longest standing time in each cooking intervals and also shows the high level of losses and that of drip losses as well. It is concluded that there are not much differences among the ingredients of steaks cooked in three methods but the steak cooked in microwave cooking method is shown to be low in fat containment of it.

The dielectric propertries of polymers are very important to investigate the molecular structure of polymer. The characteristrics of the dielectric absorption in vulcanized natural rubber were studied in the range of frequency from 10[KHz] to 32[MHz] at the temperature of 25[$^{\circ}C$]. As the results. it has been confirmed that in the case of natural ruber vulcanized between 2 and 4phr the specimens exhibit two kind of dielectric losses due to the dipole polarization by impurites and sulfure, and of above 7phr was only a loss due to the dipole polarization by sulfure and of natural rubber exhibit two kind of losses due to the interfacial and the dipole polarization. Furthermore, dielectric loss maximun tan spectrum, which removed to the low frequency according to increasing sulfure, depends greatly on sulfure. The volume resistivity of $10^{7}$~$10^{11}$[$\Omega\cdot$cm], regardness whether the crosslinking of rubber are tired by sulfure or, was observed.

This paper describes the effects of applied bias conditions on electrochemical etch-stop characteristics. THere are a number of key issues such as diode leakage and ohmic losses which arise when applying the conventional 3-electrochemical etch-stop to fabricated some of he MEMS(microelectro mechanical system) and SOI(Si-on-insulator) structures which employ SDB(Si-wafer direct bonding). This work allows to perform anin situ diagnostic to predict whether or not an electrochemical etch-stop would fail due to diode-leakage-induced premature passivation. In addition, it presents technology which takes into account the effects of ohmic losses and allows to calculate the appropriate bias necessary to obtain a successful electrochemical etch-stop.

Recently transmission and distribution power facilities have been often damaged severely by fire which broke out around the facilities in forest. It causes a power failure and thus gives an economic losses to both the public and the power utilities. Sometimes the fire can happen by an electrical accident such as the electrical short circuit or the ground short circuit. In this paper, trend of breaking out the fire has been investigated and an countermeasure against the economic losses due to the fire has been studied.
