Freight transport by railway is gaining more attention at present as a countermeasure against global warming. In keeping with this purpose, the present study examined various methods for promoting railway use through minimization of the transfer resistance of bulk freight at railway stations. First, the transfer-related factors that shippers consider as important when choosing railway as a transport mode were identified. Also, the relative importance and the level of influence of each factor during the transfer stage were evaluated. Policy directions for reducing transfer resistance in railway stations were then proposed based on the analysis of the transfer resistance factors. The policy directions include both hardware and software approaches. The necessary reduction ranges with regard to the transfer cost and time through policy implementation efforts were suggested as well.

Research in heat transfer and solidification commonly involves experimentation and mathematical modeling with associated numerical analysis and computation. Inverse problems in heat transfer are part of this paradigm. During the solidification of metal casting, an interfacial heat transfer resistance exists at the boundary between the casting and the mold, and this heat transfer resistance usually varies with time. In the case of the squeeze casting the contact heat transfer resistance is decreased by pressure and ideal contact is almost accomplished. In the present work, heat transfer coefficient, which is inverse value of the heat transfer resistance, was used for convenience. A numerical technique, Non-Linear Estimation has been adopted for calculation of the casting/mold interfacial heat transfer coefficient during the squeeze casting process. In this method, the measured temperature data from experiment were used. The computational results were applied to the analysis of heat transfer and solidification.

The heat transfer process from steam to web through the cylinder drum consists of the thermal resistance by condensate thickness. thickness of shell, and the contact resistance between cylinder and web. The most thermal resistance in conventional cylinder drum dryer is generated by condensate, which is increased by the increase on revolution per minute(RPM). Therefore, the increase of RPM for the production enhancement results in the more thermal resistance, and eventually RPM is restricted. In this study, the theoretical analysis on the characteristics of heat transfer in cylinder drum for paper dryer was performed in the stationary state of steam in drum. The overall heat transfer coefficient, steam quantity and heat transfer quantity were predicted by diameter and length of drum, condensate thickness, revolution per minute and steam temperature for experimental apparatus design.

Oxidation behaviours of ash free coal (AFC), carbon, and H₂ fuels were investigated with a coin type molten carbonate fuel cell. Because AFC has no electrical conductivity, its oxidation occurs via gasification to H₂ and CO. An interesting behaviour of mass transfer resistance reduction at higher current density was observed. Since the anode reaction has the positive reaction order of H₂, CO₂ and H₂O, the lack of CO₂ and H₂O from AFC results in a significant mass transfer resistance. However, the anode products of CO₂ and H₂O at higher current densities raise their partial pressure and mitigate the resistance. The addition of CO₂ to AFC reduced the resistance sufficiently, thus the resistance reduction at higher current densities did not appear. Electrochemical impedance results also indicate that the addition of CO₂ reduces mass transfer resistance. Carbon and H₂ fuels without CO₂ and H₂O also show similar behaviour to AFC: mass transfer resistance is diminished by raising current density and adding CO₂.

In this study, the effect of thermal contact resistance between pin-channel tubes on the heat transfer characteristics was analytically examined around the channel tubes with the pins attached to two consecutive arranged channel pipes. The numerical results showed that the heat transfer coefficient decreased geometrically as the thermal contact resistance increased, and the corresponding temperature change on the contact surface increased as the thermal contact resistance increased. The thinner the pin, the more pronounced the geometric drop in the heat transfer coefficient. It was confirmed that the higher the height of the pin, the higher was the heat transfer coefficient, however, the greater the size of the thermal contact resistance, the smaller was the heat transfer coefficient. It was found that the temperature change in the inner wall of the channel tube did not significantly affect the heat transfer characteristics owing to the thermal contact resistance. Furthermore, the velocity of air at the entrance of the channel tube was proportional to the heat transfer coefficient due to a decrease in the convective heat resistance corresponding to an increase in the flow rate.

In general, the oxi-nitriding method is well known as such a surface treatment way for substantial enhancement in corrosion resistance, even comparable to that of titanium. However, there are still lacks of information on thermal performance of the oxi-nitriding surface being of additional compound layers on the base substrate. Above all, the quantitative measurement of its thermal performance still was not evaluated yet. Thus, the present study experimentally measures the thermal resistance of the oxi-nitriding surface during droplet evaporation and then estimates heat transfer performance with the use of the onedimensional heat transfer model in vertical direction. From the experimental results, it is found that the total evaporation time slightly increased with the thermal resistance caused by the oxi-nitriding layer, showing a maximum difference of approximately 20% with that of the bare surface. Although the heat transfer performance of oxi-nitriding surface became slightly lower than that of the bare surface, the oxi-nitriding surface exhibits much better heat transfer performance compared to titanium.

Thermal insulation is used in a variety of applications to protect temperature sensitive products from thermal damage. Several factors affect the performance of insulation packages. Among these factors, the thermal resistance of the insulating wall is the most important factor to determine the performance of the insulating package. In many cases, insulating wall consists of multi-layered structure and the heat transfer through this structure is a very complex process. In this study, an one-dimensional mathematical model, which includes all of the heat transfer principles covering conduction, convection and radiation in multi-layered structure, were developed. Based on this model, several heat transfer phenomena occurred in the air space between the layer of the insulating wall were investigated. From the simulation results, it was observed that the heat transfer through the air space between the layer were dominated by conduction and radiation and the low emissivity of the surface of each solid layer of the wall can dramatically increase the thermal resistance of the wall. For practical use, an equation was derived for the calculation of the thermal resistance of a multi-layered wall.

One of the problems we face up at the time of planning or improving a transportation transfer facility is which modes and how close we have to put together. The goal here is to keep the connecting transportation mode as close as possible to the prime transit mode, so people travel a minimum transfer path, a distance from one mode to another. Too much a physical separation between modes will limit, even with an intensive improvement of the component links, the level of service of a transfer path as a whole. This study defined a transfer path as the whole stretch of the distance from an arrival point of one mode to the departure point of the connecting mode. The transfer path was divided into three typical segments as side walk, stairways, and indoor corridors. Preference surveys were made for each of these segments, resulting in relative resistance. The sum of individual segments weighted with the relative resistance will make a transfer resistance of the path, which in turn constitutes a transfer utility function together with the overall satisfaction score obtained by the interview survey. The transfer utility function has been utilized to evaluate the transfer distance between modes.

A relatively high operating frequency is required for efficient wireless power transfer (WPT). However, the alternating current (AC) resistance of coils increases sharply with operating frequency, which possibly degrades overall efficiency. Hence, the evaluation of coil AC resistance is critical in selecting operating frequency to achieve good efficiency. For a Litz wire coil, AC resistance is attributed to the magnetic field, which leads to the skin effect, the proximity effect, and the corresponding conductive resistance and inductive resistance in the coil. A numerical calculation method based on the Biot-Savart law is proposed to calculate magnetic field strength over strands in Litz wire planar spiral coils to evaluate their AC resistance. An optimized frequency can be found to achieve the maximum efficiency of a WPT system based on the predicted resistance. Sample coils are manufactured to verify the resistance analysis method. A prototype WPT system is set up to conduct the experiments. The experiments show that the proposed method can accurately predict the AC resistance of Litz wire planar spiral coils and the optimized operating frequency for maximum efficiency.

On hundred and forty stains of shigella cultures isolated from the twelve hygiene laboratories of cities and provincial general hospital laboratories in 1983 were tested for their resistance to thirteen antimicrobial drugs and their R-plasmid transfer. Antimicrobial drugs were used amikacin, ampicillin, cephalothin, chloramphenicol, gentamicin, kanamycin, nalidixic acid, rifampicin, streptamycin, tetracycline, tobramycin, cefoperazone and piperacillin. All strains were resistant to one or more of thirteen antimicrobial drugs but 94.3% were susceptible to amikacin, gentamicin and tobramycin of total isolated. The most strains commonly found resistance was to chloramphenicol (94%) followed by streptamycin (93%), tetracyline (92%) piperacillin (90%) ampicillin (83%), cefoperazone (42%), nalidixic acid (14%), cephalothin (17%), rifampicin (22%) and kanamycin (6%), sixty percent of strains among 140 were resistance to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, streptomycin, tetracycline at the same time. The transfer of drug resistance by conjugation was tested and ninety four strains (94.3%) were resistant to one or more drugs were found to transfer their drug resistance of E. coli. percentage of transfer frequency by conjugation was one strains (54%), the transfer frequency of drug resistance varied by donor strains and recipients, but not by selecting drugs. Resistance to nalidixic acid was not transferred by conjugation to recipients. Percentage of plasmid curing after the treatment of acriflavine, acridine orange was about 8%. Among strains cured two strains were tested compare original strains with them in biochemical properties in arginine dihydrolase and arabinose fermentation reaction. It was found to growth curves of No.2 shigella flexneri, serotype 1b, and its derivatives cured with acriflavine in $M{\ddot{u}}ller$ Hinton broth medium (pH 7.4, $38^{\circ}C$) by temperature Gradient Biophoto Recorder TN-1120 (Tokyo, Japan).
