  • An investigation was carried out to study the effect of two housing systems on physiological responses and energy expenditure of sheep in a semi-arid region of India. Two types of housing management were adopted. First was a shed- $6{\times}3\;m^2$ structure with all the four sides of 1.8 m chain link fencing with a central height of 3 m. The roof was covered with asbestos sheets and with mud floorings. Second was an open corral- $6{\times}3\;m^2$ open space with all the four sides covered with 1.8 m chain link fencing. Thirty-four (32 ewes and 2 rams) sheep of native Malpura breed aged about 18 months (body weight 28 kg ewes; 35 kg rams) were grazed together on a 35 ha plot of native range. All the sheep were grazed as a flock from 08.00 to 17.00 h during a yearlong study. The flock was divided into two groups (16 ewes+1 ram) in the evening and housed as per the systems (Shed and Open Corral). Dry and wet temperatures were recorded at 06.00 h and 21.00 h using a wet and dry bulb-thermometer both inside the shed and in the open corral and temperature humidity index (THI) was calculated. There was significant (p<0.05) difference in the THI between shed and open corral in all the seasons, indicating that shed was always warmer compared to open corral. Rectal temperature (RT) of both the groups of sheep was similar during morning as well as evening throughout the seasons. There were significant (p<0.05) differences in the skin temperature (ST) and respiration rate (RR) between the two groups at both the measurements in all the seasons. Highest energy expenditure (EE) was recorded inside the shed at 21.00 h (224 kJ/h) during monsoon and lowest at 6.00 h during winter (119 kJ/h). There was a significant (p<0.05) difference between the EE inside the shed and that in the open corral. It was concluded that housing had significant effects on the physiological responses and EE of sheep. Provision of housing at night was stressful during monsoon (with less rainfall) and summer, whereas it was protecting the sheep from acute cold during winter in a semi-arid region of India.

  • High-speed heavy loaded monohull ships can benefit from application of drag-reducing air cavities under stepped hull bottoms. The subject of this paper is the steady hydrodynamic modeling of semi-planing air-cavity hulls. The current method is based on a linearized potential-flow theory for surface flows. The mathematical model description and parametric calculation results for a selected configuration with pressurized and open air cavities are presented.

  • A set with an operation defined on a family of subsets is studied. The operation is used to generalize the topological space itself. The operation defines the operation-open subsets in the set. Relations are studied among two types of the interiors and the closures of subsets. Some properties of maximal operation-open sets are obtained. Semi-open sets and pre-open sets are defined in the sets with operations and some relations among them are proved.

  • It is the objective of this paper to study further the notion of ${\Lambda}_s$-semi-${\theta}$-closed sets which is defined as the intersection of a ${\theta}$-${\Lambda}_s$-set and a semi-${\theta}$-closed set. Moreover, introduce some low separation axioms using the above notions. Also we present and study the notions of ${\Lambda}_s$-continuous functions, ${\Lambda}_s$-compact spaces and ${\Lambda}_s$-connected spaces.

  • The equicontinuity and scattering properties of continuous semi-flows are studied on a compact metric space. The main results are obtained as follows: first, the complexity function defined by the spanning set is bounded if and only if the system is equicontinuous; secondly, if a continuous semi-flow is topologically weak mixing, then it is pointwise scattering; thirdly, several equivalent conditions for the time-one map of a continuous semi-flow to be scattering are presented; Finally, for a minimal continuous map it is shown that the "non-dense" requirement is unnecessary in the definition of scattering by using open covers.

  • We show that in quasi-topological spaces, separation axiom $T_2$ is equivalent to ${\alpha}-T_2$, $T_0$ is equivalent to semi - $T_0$, and semi - $T_{\frac{1}{2}}$ is equivalent to semi - $T_D$. Also, we give characterizations for ${\alpha}-T_1$, semi - $T_1$ and semi - $T_{\frac{1}{2}}$ generalized topological spaces.

  • Because of the result of a large use of electronic equipments, the occupation density of microwave frequency band is highly increased, and electromagnetic environment is getting more seriously bad. It is sometimes reported that electronic machines are not normally operated on account of the influence of undesired electromagnetic wave, which often gives fatal blow to even human life and thus becomes serious social problems. OATS(Open Area Test Site) is principally used to measure EMI or examine elelctromagnetic emission. Because of various restrictions we often build semi-anechoic chamber which has the function of OATS to measure EMI or EMS other than OATS. If the difference of the site attenuation between semi-anechoic chamber and OATS is within ${\pm}3dB$, the semi-anechoic chamber is recognized as adequate facility to measure EMI or EMS. Accordingly authors evaluate and analyze site attenuation due to absorbent materials, polarization, mutual coupling effects, etc. The calculated and the measured site attenuation in semi-anechoic chamber are compared. As a result good agreement is obtained.
