The estimation of the fish biomass density or the size of fish by means of the acoustic equipment is an important part in the quantitative assessment of fisheries resources. The precision of such estimates depend upon the target strength of fish and the accuracy to which the acoustic equipment has been calibrated. This paper examine the accuracy of the digital measurement system which is manufactured by way of trial in order to masure the target strength of fish, and calibrations of that system carry out with an ogive and a ellipsoid made of the aluminum and the epoxy, respectively. Furthermore, measurements of target strength for eight species of fish are made at 25, 50, 100 kHz. The accuracy of the digital measurement system is compared the theory with measurements on ogive and ellipsoid, and the agreement is reasonable. Result of establishments on the target strength to fish length and to fish weight regression obtained from the measurements are available to provide the methods of design for use in interpreting acoustic measurements of fish abundance on the experimented eight species.

A spin valve structure of Ta/NiFe/CoFe/Cu/CoFe/Ru/CoFe/FeMn/Ta which has a synthetic antiferromagnet (CoFe/Ru/CoFe), was fabricated by using a magnetron sputtering system. The thickness and composition of magnetic free and pinned layers affect the magnetic properties such as exchange interaction strength of each layer and so on. Even though Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS) has advantages of quantitative and non-destructive analysis, it is almost impossible to determine the thickness and composition of magnetic thin films using lBS because of its poor mass resolution for a higher atom number (Z>20). In this study, quantitative analysis of the element composition and thickness for the spin valve sample was performed by combining both Proton Induced X-ray Emission Spectrometry (PIXE), which is one of element specific analysis techniques, and grazing-exit RBS with a highly improved depth resolution and absolute quantitative analysis. For the quantitative analysis, standardization of PIXE was carried out with NiFe, CoFe, and FeMn layers, which are one of constituent layers of spin valve films. Through PIXE standardization and the aid of PHE experimental results of the spin valve sample, ire overlapped signal in a grazing-exit RBS spectrum were successfully resolved and the thickness of the Ru layer was determined with a resolution of ∼1 .

The atomic-nano scale structures of multi-component aluminosilicate glasses have not been well understood in spite of its implications fur dynamics and generation of magma in the natural system due to lack of suitable spectroscopic and scattering experiments. Here, we report O-17 MAS and isotropic projection of 3QMAS NMR spectra for quaternary Na-Ca silicate glasses $[(CaO)_x(Na_2O)_{1-x}]\;(A1_2O_3)_{0.5}(SiO_2)_6,\;CNAS)$ at 14.1 Tesla where atomic configurations around bridging oxygen (Si-O-Si, Si-O-Al) and non bridging oxygen (Na-O-Si, Ca-O-Si, (Na, Ca)-O-Si) are partially resolved. With increasing Na content, the fraction of Na-O-Si increases while those for bridging oxygens remain constant. The Na/Ca ratio apparently affects the peak widths of bridging oxygen peaks (e.g., Si-O-Si)) and thus the topological entropy as well as chemical shifts of the bridging oxygen peaks, implying that both BOs and NBOs are strongly interacting with network modifying cations The effect of cation field strength on the degree of Al-avoidance was also discussed.

Cost efficiency is today the primary requirement in the paper and board industry. This has led therefore, to a greater preponderance of products with specifically designed functionality to take account of current industry needs. Continually increasing machine coating speeds together with these new coating colour components have put more emphasis on the importance of the correct rheology and water retention of the coating colours to achieve good runnability and end product quality. In the coating process, some penetration of the aqueous phase, to the base paper or board must occur to anchor the pre-coating to the base or the topcoat to the pre-coat. The aqueous phase acts as a vehicle not only for the binder, but also for the other components. If this water or material penetration is not controlled, there will be excessive material shift from the coating colour to the base, before immobilization of the coating colour will stop this migration. This can result in poor machine runnability, unstable system and uneven coating layer, impacting print quality. The performance of rheology modifiers or thickeners on the coating color have tended to be evaluated by the term, "water retention". This simple term is not sufficient to explain their performance changes during coating. In this paper we are introducing a new concept of "material retention", which takes note of the total composition of the coating colour material and therefore goes beyond the concept of only water retention. Controlled material retention leads to a more uniform z-directional distribution of coating colour components. The changes that can be made to z-directional uniformity will have positive effects on print quality as measured by surface strength, ink setting properties, print gloss, mottling tendency. Optical properties, such as light scattering, whiteness and light fastness delivery should also be improved. Additionally, controlled material retention minimizes changes to the coating colour with time in re-circulation giving less fluctuation in quality in the machine direction since it more closely resembles fresh coating for longer periods. Use of the material retention concept enables paper and board producers to have more stable runnability (i.e. lower process costs), improved end product quality (i.e. better performance of used chemicals) and/or optimized use of coating colour components (i.e. lower total formulation cost)

Welded head studs are mainly used as shear connectors to bond steel girders and concrete slabs in steel-concrete composite bridges. For welded shear connectors, environmental problems include noise and scattering dust which are generated during the removal of damaged or aged slabs. Therefore, it is necessary to develop demountable shear connectors that can easily replace aged concrete slabs for efficient maintenance and thus for better management of environmental problems and life cycle costs. The buried nut method is commonly studied in relation to bolted shear connectors, but this method is not used in civil structures such as bridges due to low rigidity, low shear resistance, and increased initial slip. In this study, in order to mitigate these problems, a demountable bolted shear connector is proposed in which the buried nut is integrated into the stud column and has a tapered shape at the bottom of an enlarged column shank. To verify the performance of the proposed demountable stud bolts in terms of static shear strength and slip displacement, a horizontal shear test was conducted, with the performance outcomes compared to those of conventional welded studs. It was confirmed that the proposed demountable bolted shear connector is capable of excellent shear performance and that it satisfies the slip displacement and ductility design criteria, meaning that it is feasible as a replacement for existing welding studs.
