The distribution of fatigue crack growth rate is subjected to the measuring interval and calculated method of growth rate. In this paper, in order to establish the method of determining the distribution of fatigue crack growth rate, which ignores those influences, a series of fatigue crack growth experiments and measuring intervals of crack length calculated reasonable are presented. The main conclusions obtained are summarized as follows: 1) As a result of the ΔP constant test and ΔK constant test, it is thought that an approximate measuring interval of 0.3~0.7mm is reasonable, which allows for few errors and is little subjected to the calculated method of crack growth rate.

To establish the evaluation of the fatigue crack growth behavior in 5083-O aluminum alloy, constant load-amplitude fatigue crack growth tests were carried out under the small scale yielding conditions. Crack length and closure of this material were measured by the compliance method using a clip-on gage. The main results obtained as follows: The fatigue crack growth rate against stress intensity factor range .DELTA.K exhibits the trilinear form with two transitions at the growth rate 5.5*10$^{-6}$ and 5.5*10$^{-5}$ mm/cycle, in the so-caled Region II. The trilinear form appears still in the plot of growth rate versus effective stress intensity factor range .DELTA. $K_{eff}$. Stress ratio R affects the relationship of crack growth rates versus .DELTA.K but does not affect the reation of crack growth rate versus .DELTA. $K_{eff}$. The experimental results indicate that the effective stress intensity range ratio U depends on the maximum stress intensity factor $K_{max}$, but not on the stress ratio R.o R.R.

Numerical calculation has been performed to investigate the effect of inlet configuration on the growth rate of GaN layer on the heated susceptor. The conventional single inlet, where the gas is mixed by force in the inlet, is compared with separated flow inlet. Two-parallel gas flow $H_{2}$ and $NH_{3}$ are separated by a plate with finite length which are also parallel to the susceptor. The effect of separated plate length, carrier gas and flow rate of each precursor on the mixing of reactant gases and growth rate were investigated. Furthermore the three dimensional model is employed to predict the transverse variation of growth rate.

In order to grow a 127.86$^{\circ}$rotated LiNbO3 single crystal with good characteristics of surface acoustic wave (SAW) up to 80 mm in diameter, the temperature gradient of furnace, the growth rate and the rotation rate of crystal were changed. We could grow a crystal which had few macro defects at the conditions of temperature gradient as 30~6$0^{\circ}C$/cm, growth rate as 5 mm/hr and rotation rate as 8 rpm. The experimental ranges of the growth conditions are as follows. Temperature gradient was varied from 20 to 20$0^{\circ}C$/cm, growth rate as 5~7 mm/hr and crystal rotation rate as 6~12rpm.

In this study, a numerical analysis of the deposition of gallium arsenide from TMGa and arsine in a horizontal MOCVD reactor is performed to investigate the effect of inlet diffuser shape of reactor on the flow and deposition characteristics. The effects of two geometric parameters (diffuser angle, diffuser shape) on the growth rate, growth rate uniformity, flow uniformity and pressure loss are presented. As a results, it is found that the optimum linear diffuser angle is in the range of $50^{\circ}$∼$55^{\circ}$ and parabolic diffuser in the range of $40^{\circ}$∼$45^{\circ}$ from the viewpoint of growth rate uniformity, flow uniformity and average growth rate. It is also found that variation of diffuser angle has greater impact on growth rate uniformity than average growth rate particularly in parabolic diffuser.

This study aimed to determine a method for restoring grasslands to forests in mountainous areas. The study was conducted in an area damaged by trampling due to construction activity and herding. Additionally, there were concerns of hindered tree growth due to the alpine region climate, characterized by the low temperatures, drying, and strong winds. Therefore, forest restoration treatments such as tillage, furrow, and shading were performed to improve growth conditions. From July 2021 to April 2023, soil temperature and moisture were monitored for each treatment plot, and changes in the initial growth and survival rate of Abies holophylla were investigated. Both soil temperature and soil moisture showed significantly higher values during the four seasons in the grassland-furrow treatment plot (p < 0.05). Compared to the grassland-control plot, the average soil temperature in winter was as high as 1.1℃, and the soil moisture in summer was as high as 20.3%. Additionally, the survival rate and relative growth rate were the largest in the grassland-furrow treatment plot. The survival rate was 87.5%, the relative growth rate in terms of height was 0.013, and the relative growth rate in terms of diameter at root collar was 0.023, indicating that furrow treatment had a positive effect on the initial survival and growth of seedlings. These results suggest that furrow treatment may be an appropriate restoration method when implementing forest restoration projects in areas where tree growth is challenged.

The effects of water flow rate and phytoplankton concentration on the growth of the sandy shore clam Gafrarium tumidum was investigated in a laboratory flume study using a $3{\times}3$ factorial design. After 60 days, shell length, shell weight and tissue dry weight increased significantly with phytoplankton concentration. For the effect of flow rate, growth was faster when flow rate increased from low to medium level; further increases in flow rate, however, either did not sustain faster growth or resulted in a reduction in growth. The condition index (CI) of a standard-sized clam was significantly higher at low flow rate than at medium and high flow rates and was negatively correlated with phytoplankton concentration. The uncoupled growth of shell and tissue in response to flow rate and phytoplankton concentration may be adaptations to low food environments, so that energy can either be stored to sustain life or reserved for gametogenesis during the reproductive period.

As expansion of interest income business faces several limitations, non-interest revenue can play a vital role in increasing the net profit margin and the productivity of the assets to sustain the growth rate. This study aims to analyze the Effect level (partial or total) of a bank's size on the relationship between non-interest revenue and the sustainable growth rate of Jordanian commercial banks. Baron and Kenny's methodology (1986) was adopted to test and analyze the effect of non-interest revenue: including the bank's size, on the sustainable growth rate during the period from 2008-2019. Data collection was done for thirteen commercial banks which constituted 100% of the study population. Testing four hypotheses by using Amos program and a regression model to diagnose the partial and total effect of size. Findings indicate that there is a nonlinear relationship between Non-IR and SGR due to the total effect of bank size on the sustainable growth rate. The results of this study is expected to enable the banks to diversify their revenue to support financial performance towards healthy growth without facing additional financial problems. This study adopted a different methodology from the prior efforts, by using the mediation effect role to verify the effect of non-interest revenue.

6H-SiC bulk crystals were grown by sublimation method with different conditions in term of gaseous pressures ad source temperatures. In order to optimize the growth rate, pressure at growth period and source and substrate temperatures were investigated as experimental variables. the results were compared with each other and finally the optimum growth conditions were discussed. Furthermore the relation of the growth steps and defects formation was evaluates in the point of reducing the micropipes. Subsequently the growth steps and defects formation was evaluated in the point of reducing the micropipes. Subsequently the growth steps were observed leading to the lower step height with the lower growth rate.

Specific growth rate was controlled for the repression of acetic acid formation in the fed-batch fermentation of recombinant Escherichia coli. With controlled specific growth rate, we studied the effect of the specific growth rate on cell growth, glucose consumption, acetic acid formation, and the expression of recombinant protein (${\beta}$-lactamase). High specific growth rate caused the accumulation of glucose and acetic acid, and lowered the production of recombinant protein. However, the addition of methionine recovered the gene expression by alleviating the negative effect of acetic acid at high specific growth rate.
