The distribution and kinematic information of the continuum, $H{\alpha},\;H{\beta}$, [O III], & [N II] images based on spectroscopic data secured with the OASIS at the Hawaii CFHT 3.6m telescope have been analyzed to study the physical characteristics of NGC 5728. The three bright regions-northwestern knot, southeastern knot, and the nucleus-exist within a $15"{\times}12"$ sky area which seem to indicate gas flows along the northwestern or western direction from the nucleus. We find that the center of a 10" diameter ring is at the northwestern knot, not at the galactic center. To further analyze the formation mechanism of such a ring, the kinematics of the nucleus and knot have been studied and the central structure of the Active Galactic Nuclei has been investigated by comparing various emission images.

This paper analyzes the behaviors of corrugated membrane under the cryogenic liquid pressure and thermal loading using the FEM analysis program MARC. The FEM calculations were carried out on the basis of measured data of Technigaz membrane. It is very important to know the concentration levels and distributions of stress in the corrugated membrane. A quarter of the membrane sheet in place of the whole membrane was simulated because of its geometric symmetricity. The calculated results of the concentrated stress showed that the maximum stress occurs at the knot parts and at the root corner radius of the corrugations. The FEM calculated results indicated that the ring knot membrane which was developed in this study showed uniformly distributed stress and the lowest stress levels in the cross knot area in comparison with other two membranes. These results are very important to optimize the shape and improve the safety of membrane structure.

This paper has been analyzed for the stress behavior problems of the ring knot membrane unit using the finite element method about the pitch design of the membrane unit, which is one of the most important parameters in manufacturing of the membrane type LNG storage tanks. The FEM results have been compared those of the existing pitch design length. The safety problem of the ring knot membrane model, which is considered in this study, does not come out any more no matter what the pitch length is used in the extra large LNG storage tanks. But in the case of the membrane for LNG tankers, it is advantageous to design the pitch short because of fatigue strength caused by repeated loadings. Looking at the deformation behaviors of the membrane corrugation, the deformation of the hight in the y direction occurs $15{\~}50\%$ more than that of the width in the z direction. It shows also that the deformation of the membrane with $-162^{\circ}C$ cryogenic temperature is not so great compared with the deformation by hydrostatic pressure.

This paper analyzes the behaviors of the membrane under drop impact loadings using the acoustic emission technique. The analysis is useful for evaluating the strength of the membrane as well as for studying its damping characterisics due to the corrugation and the ring knot. The membrane for LNG storage tank is basically composed linear and circular elements. Two membrane specimens have approximately same drop impact mass and same drop speed. Locan 320 system with piezoelectric sensor is used in the experimental measurement. Experimental results for the membranes indicated that AE siganls having higher energies were generated with increasing drop impact loadings. It was confirmed that the ring knot. membrane has high absorption of drop impact loadings in comparison with the flat membrane. These results are very important to reliable design and to improve the safey of the membrane components.

KOGAS had developed the Ring-knot membrane for LNG storage tank. But we found that some modifications were needed in using the Ring-knot membrane for the commercial LNG storage tanks. So, both analytical and experimental studies have been performed to investigate the strength of the new membrane and the reaction force at the anchor point. Using nonlinear FEM code and experiments, the stress analysis of the new corrugated membrane shapes subject to the cryogenic liquid pressure and thermal loading are performed to ensure the stability and fatigue strength of the new membrane. This paper reports on the results of investigations into this new type of membrane.

This paper presents the numerical results of six corrugation models which compute the stress behaviours and stress levels of the membrane structure under the hydrostatic pressure of cryogenic liquids and thermal loadings using a non -linear finite element analysis program. A three-dimensional analysis of various corrugation geometries was performed on the maximum mean normal stress distributions along the upper surface of the membrane sheet. Comparisons of the FEM results for various geometry models of the corrugation are presented, which shows that the corrugated configuration of the ring knot model can be effectively performed for the combined forces such as the hydrostatic pressure and thermal loading in comparison with the Technigaz type corrugation which has small comer and apex curvatures. The FEM results show that the ring knot corrugation can be used for the deepest depth, 180m of the LNG storage tank in comparison with other corrugation models.

The Kauffman bracket skein module $K_t$(M) of a 3-manifold M becomes an algebra for t = -1. We prove that this algebra has no non-trivial nilpotent elements for M being the exterior of the twist knot in 3-sphere and, therefore, it is isomorphic to the $SL_2(\mathbb{C})$-character ring of the fundamental group of M. Our proof is based on some properties of Chebyshev polynomials.

We investigate some polynomial invariants for virtual knots via virtualization moves. We define two types of polynomials W_G(t) and S²_G(t) from the definition of the index polynomial for virtual knots. And we show that they are invariants for virtual knots on the quotient ring Z[t^±1]/I where I is an ideal generated by t² - 1.

Both analytical and experimental studies are presented to investigate the strength of the membrane which is designed by Kogas and will be used as a sealing for a LNG tank. Kogas has already developed the Ring-Knot type membrane, but new type had yet to be developed. This paper reports on the results of investigations into this new type of membrane. Various theorical analyses using FEM and experiments are conducted on the basis of RPIS, and it is found that the RPIS is fully satisfied.

This study was conducted to investigate the plant-parasitic nematodes of ornamental foliage plants, citrus orchards, and tea plantations from July to December 2022. As a result of the investigation of plant-parasitic nematodes in 415 foliage plants, root-lesion nematodes were detected most frequently, followed by root-knot nematodes, pin nematodes, and other nematodes. In tea plantations, spiral nematodes, cyst nematodes, and root-knot nematodes were detected. Citrus nematodes, ring nematodes, and root-knot nematodes were discovered in citrus orchards. In foliage plants, tea plantations, and citrus orchards, the detection rate of plant-parasitic nematodes was not high, but root-lesion nematodes were detected. Therefore, it is necessary to apply appropriate control methods to manage root-lesion nematodes during the cultivation of foliage, tea, and citrus plants.
