In this paper, we propose a new parameter estimation method that can deal with the data of multiple time intervals simultaneously. If there are common modes in the multiple time intervals, it is possible to create a new polynomial by summing the coefficients of the prediction error polynomials of each time interval. By calculating the roots of the new polynomial, it is possible to estimate the common modes that exist in each time interval. The accuracy of the proposed parameter estimation method has been proven by using appropriate test signals.

An enhanced subspace iteration algorithm has been developed to solve eigenvalue problems reliably and efficiently. Basic subspace iteration algorithm has been improved by eliminating recalculation of converged eigenvectors, using Krylov sequence as initial vectors and incorporating with shifting techniques. The number of iterations and computational time have been considerably reduced when compared with the original one, and reliability for catching copies of the multiple roots has been retained successfully. Further research would be required for mathematical justification of the present method.

In this paper a transfer matrix method is developed to solve for bending vibration of beam with linearly reduced width, and subsequently used to determine the exact natural frequencies for such problems. The differential equation, shear force, and bending moment are derived from Hamilton's principle, and the roots of the differential equation are computed using the power series solution of the Frobenius method. The effect of various taper ratio for bending vibration of beam with linearly reduced width is investigated in detail, and to validate the accuracy of the proposed method the results computed are compared with those given from commercial software(ANSYS).

In the precision point synthesis of mechanisms, it is usually required to solve a system of polynomial equations. With the aid of efficient algorithms such as elimination, it is possible to obtain all the solutions of the equations in the complex domain. But among these solutions only real values can be used fur real mechanisms, while imaginary ones are liable to be discarded. In this article, a method is presented, which leads the imaginary solutions to real domain permitting slight alteration of prescribed positions and eventually increases the number of feasible mechanisms satisfying the desired motion approximately. Two synthesis problems of planar 4-bar path generation and spatial 7-bar motion generation are given to verify the proposed method.

Lithospermi radix, the dried roots of Litospermum erythrorhizon Sieboid et Zuccarini (Boraginaceae), has long been used to treat detoxification and inflammation. In this study, we isolated two main quinoid compounds, ${\beta}$-hydroxyisovalerylshikonin (1) and acetylshikonin (2) from L. erythrorhizon. As acetylshikonin is considered as a marker compound of L. erythrorhizon, a rapid analysis method for the simultaneous determination of quinoid compounds including 2 was also developed by HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) and validation of this analytical method. By the developed method, two quinoid marker compounds (${\beta}$-hydroxyisovalerylshikonin and acetylshikonin) were successfully quantified in 31 commercial samples which were collected from different regions. The contents were 0.20% (${\beta}$-hydroxyisovalerylshikonin) and 0.22% (acetylshikonin), respectively.

Soil respiration was measured every two weeks from May through November 1995 using the soda lime method in 40-Year-old Pinus rigida and Larix leptolepis plantations on a similar soil in Yangpyeong, Kyonggi Province. Treatments included control and no-roots(plots trenched and root regrowth into plots prevented). Root respiration was evaluated by comparing no-roots sub-plots to control plots. Mean soil respiration showed highly significant species effects(p<0.01) and was highest at the Pinus rigida control plot($0.38g/m^2/hr$) and lowest at the Larix leptolepis no-roots plot($0.31g/m^2/hr$). High soil respiration in Pinus rigida may be related to aboveground litter production. The annual $CO_2$ fluxes ranged from 23 to 27t/ha/yr. We found significant correlations between temperatures(air : $R^2$=0.53, soil : $R^2$=0.55) and soil respiration(p<0.01), but no significant correlations between soil moisture and soil respiration(p>0.1). Root respiration was 3% of total soil respiration. We might underestimate rapt respiration because of shallow trenches and $CO_2$measurements right after trenching. Factors controlling soil respiration including belowground litterfall(especially fine roots) inputs, litter quality should be well understood to predict soil carbon fluxes and relative contributions to total soil respiration in forest ecosystems.

It was tested in field that a Pull-out Capacity and Shear resistance strength change of reed, common reed and sedge which were planted by mat-type turf and used for revegetation of bank. The testes were done for 9 weeks from end of May and the grasses were planted on sandy soil. Roots grew fastly after planted and increasement of a common reed and sedge root were reduced after 4 weeks but increasement of reed roots were not reduced. The difference of increasement of roots is due to a difference of propagation method. Sedge propagate by seed. Reed and commom reed propagate by seed and subterranean stem and reed has bigger subterranean stem than common reed. So increasement of common reed and sedge roots were slow than reed. By root growth pattern, increasement of pull-out capacity and shear resistance strength showed very similar way of root growth, those of common reed and sedge were fast in early stage of cultivation but were reduced. But increasement of pull-out capacity and shear resistance strength of reed was not reduced. A Maximum shear resistance strength called critical shear resistance strength of common reed and sedge can be Analyzed at 11 weeks after planted.

We investigated that electron beam irradiation is the effective method to control the sprouting of sweetpotato roots without changing of food quality characteristics. In 12 and $25^{\circ}C$ storage after electron beam irradiation, all control samples were sprouted from 6 and 4 weeks after storage, respectively. The sprouting rate of control increased with time and the rate reached to 11.2-12.4 and 70.5-74.2% at 8 weeks after 12 and $25^{\circ}C$ storage. Also, the sprouting of middle and below positioning sweetpotato roots at 12 and $25^{\circ}C$ storage after irradiation reached to 8.6-11.3 and 42.7-48.7% after a storage period of 8 weeks, respectively. However, the sprouting of all sweetpotato roots stored at $4^{\circ}C$ and upper (0-7 cm) positioning samples of box stored at 12 and $25^{\circ}C$ with electron beam was completely inhibited due to increase peroxidase and indole acetic acid (IAA) oxidase activity. Also, all samples with electron beam such as hardness, pH, sugar content, weight loss, and vitamin C and dacarotene content did not differ from that of the control. Therefore, if electron beam will be irradiated to sweetpotato roots above 0.1 kGy before packing, it will effectively inhibit their sprouting stored at $25^{\circ}C$ without the change of food quality characteristics.

Flavor components were trapped by stimultaneous steam distillation-extraction method for investigating it in the bellflower roots and fractionated into four groups such as a neutral, a basic, a phenolic and an acidic fraction. An acidic fraction methylated with diazomethane solution and three others were analysed by GC and GC-MS equipping a fused silica capillary column, and S-containing compounds in these were detected with a flame photometric detector (FPD). The total of one hundred and three compounds from the bellflower roots were identified: they were 6 aliphatic hydrocarbons, 10 aromatic hydrocarbons, 2 terpene hydrocarbons, 12 alcohols, 8 terpene alcohols, 17 aldehydes, 3 terpene aldehydes, 5 ketones, 5 esters, 3 furans, 2 thiazoles, 2 lactones, 2 sulfides, 9 phenols, l2 carboxylic acids and 5 others. The greater part of the others except carboxylic acids were identified from a neutral fraction of which was assumed to be indispensable for the reproduction of bellflower root odor in a sensory evaluation. As a result of a sensory evaluation, 1-hexanal, trans-2-hexenal, 1-hexanol, cis-3-hexenol, trans-2-hexenol, 1-octen-3-ol and so forth identified in a neutral fraction were considered to be the key compounds of grass-like odor in the bellflower roots.
