Factors governing the rate of heat exchange comprise temperature, air velocity, relative humidity, and relation indoors. Recently, there are many researches on the transient analysis of indoor environmental factors such as dry bulb temperature, relative humidity and air velocity in miniature models. The purpose of this study is to measure the environmental factors and to analyze and evaluate the characteristics of indoor environment in different envelop structures using granite dome models. The interior relative humidity is constant regardless of exterior humidity although a little range of variation is shown in comparison to the cement model.

Factors governing the rate of heat exchange comprise the air temperature, the speed of air movement, relative humidity, and relation indoors. Recently, there are many researches on the transient analysis of indoor environmental factors such as the dry bulb temperature, relative humidity and air velocity in miniature models. The purpose of this study is to measure the environmental factors and to analyze and evaluate the characteristics of indoor environment with the different envelope structures using a granite dome model. According to the variation of humidity, the state of interior relative humidity for clay model has an equal tendency, although a little range of variation is shown in comparison to the cement model.

Forging process on sintered powder metals has been applied to produce automotive parts which require a high level of strength. In those parts, the measurement of relative density is very important because a low relative density density causes deterioration of strength. In the present study, an indentation force equation was proposed by which the result obtained from the hardness measurement is used to evaluate the relative density. This equation was applied to the prediction of the relative density in cylindrical specimens which were first sintered and then forged at the room temperature and at an elevated temperature. The experimental results were compared with predictions with and without consideration of the workhardening effect on the powder.

Tuberous roots of yacon (Polymnia sonchifolia Poeppig ＆ Endlicher) were stored in different temperature and relative humidity conditions after curing for 30 days. Non-decadent percentage, moisture contents, brix degree and sugars were investigated. Whether temperature and relative humidity were high or not, most of the tuberous root decayed during storage, and the decayed percentage was increased as long as the storage period. In final, only 13% of tuberous roots remain intact at 4$^{\circ}C$, 85% relative humidity condition to be appeared best storage condition in this experiment and all of the tuberous root decayed in other storage conditions after 6 months. Moisture contents decreased a little in the high relative humidity. Even though tuberous roots decayed when stored at 1$0^{\circ}C$ and 2$0^{\circ}C$, most of brix degree reached about 17.0. Fructose, glucose and sucrose contents were 1.65, 1.15 and 0.35% at early storage period, and 1.6, 1.1 and 0.5% after 6 months at 4$^{\circ}C$, 85% relative humidity, respectively. In 3 temperature conditions, fructose and glucose increased for a month and then decreased successively afterwards, but sucrose increased gradually during 6 months. Also in 4 relative humidity conditions, fructose, glucose and sucrose contents were changed with similar to that of in temperature. Changes of fructose and glucose were the same except on 4$^{\circ}C$, 85% relative humidity, that was lower level than moisture of tuberous root.

We have investigated temperature dependence and long-term change of humidity measurement from 32 relative humidity sensors. The readings of the humidity sensors depended not only the reference humidity, but also temperature of the chamber. Approximately, the temperature dependence of the humidity sensor in average was 0.05 %R.H./$^{\circ}C$ in the temperature range from $5^{\circ}C$ to $55^{\circ}C$. For humidity sensors that have an internal temperature compensation circuit, the resulting temperature dependence was weaker by 20%. It should be also noted that for the humidity sensors used in this work underwent ${\pm}3$ %R.H. change per year for level of confidence of 95%. The users of relative humidity sensors may refer this value as a minimum change when they set the calibration interval of the humidity sensors.

This study is to analyze the internal temperature and relative humidity of concrete at early age, as well as the mechanical behavior. Three different levels of cement unit content were cosidered as an experimental variable. In order to measure internal temperature and relative humidity immediately after concrete placement, this study developed a unique measuring device, which provided reliable results. Different cement content did not significantly affected the strengths including compressive, tensile and flexural strength and after 7 days of curing, strengths did not increase noticeably. Internal temperature reached the maximum about 11 hours later the placement and decreased after removal of forms. The internal temperature varied depending on the location and the exposure condition. In addition, the internal relative humidity was more affected by the exposure condition rather than the cement content.

Temperature distriburion in a hollow chlinder has been analyzed mathematically. Unsteady condition considered assumed a constant heat flux input from the inside. The results are compared with experimental results of surface temperature rise of a gun barrel during continuous firing. Their agreements are acceptable. Effects of various dimensionless parameters on the surface temperature rise are discussed. For small Biot numbers, the external survface temperature approaches more rapidly to the steady temperature. Temperature difference between internal and external surfaces becomes greater for small Biot number. Steady solution assumed that the gas temperature inside the cylinder varies periodically. Relative amplitude and phase angles between the gas temperature and the internal or external surface temperature are obtained. Phase angles become smaller for large radiancy of gas temperature variation, small external Biot number, or large internal biot number. Relative amplitudes become samller as radiancy of gas temperature variation and internal Biot number become smaller. or external Biot number becomes larger. The solution obtained in this paper can be applied to gun barrels, heat pipes used in heat excangers, and reciprocation engines.

The purpose of this study was to confirm the effects of girdle on the physiological responses and the microclimate in summer. The measuring points were rectal temperature, skin temperature, pulse rate and sweat volume as physiological responses and the inside clothing temperature, relative humidity as microclimate when the subjects wore girdle (girdle A; polyurethan+nylon, girdle B; polyurethan+cotton) for the period of rest and exercise in climate chamber. The enviromental conditions were at $25^{\circ}C$ ($65{\pm}5\%$ RH) and $30^{\circ}C$ ($75{\pm}5\%$ RR). The results were as followings. 1. Mean skin temperature increased in girdle during the exercise at $30^{\circ}C$. 2. The pulse rate decreased in girdle during the rest at $25^{\circ}C$. In the case of girdle A, it was remarkably decreased. Rectal temperature increased in girdle A and B during the exercise at $25^{\circ}C$. But the kinds of girdle didn't affect the pulse rate and rectal temperature. 3. The total sweat volume in girdle was larger than in control. 4. The difference between skin temperature and inside clothing temperature of abdomen had a tendency to increase at all experiment condition. 5. The relative humidity of inside ($RH_1$) and outside ($RH_2$) of girdle increased in girdle during the rest at $25^{\circ}C$ and $30^{\circ}C$. And the relative humidity of wearing girdle B was hig-her than girdle A during the rest at $25^{\circ}C$ and $30^{\circ}C$. The $RH_1$ after stepping at $30^{\circ}C$ was the highest in girdle A and the lowest in control. From this point of view, we concluded that physiological responses and the microclimate were affected by wearing girdle. And mean skin temperature and relative humidity of inside clothing were affected by the materials of girdle.

This paper represents the characteristics of evapotranspiration rate (EVTR) and graft-taking of watermelon grafted seedlings in a graft-taking enhancement system using fluorescent lamps as artificial lighting source. Four air temperature levels of 23, 25, 27 and 29C, three humidity levels of 85, 90 and 95%R.H. and two photosynthetic photon flux (PPF) levels of 30 and 50 ${\mu}$mol m$\^$-2/ S$\^$-1/ were provided to investigate the effects of air temperature, relative humidity and light intensity on EVTR and graft-taking of grafted seedlings. EVTR of grafted seedlings increased with increasing air temperature and the passage of time after grafting. Also EVTR increased with decreasing relative humidity. As relative humidity decreased and air temperature increased, vapor pressure deficit increased and thus EVTR increased. It is required to maintain a low level vapor pressure deficit for suppressing EVTR of grafted seedlings during first 1-2 days after grafting. Therefore, less EVTR at initial stage after grafting would be adequate for smooth joining of the scion and rootstock.
