Brownian-dynamics simulation on highly charged colloidal suspensions is performed by employing Tokuyama effective force recently proposed. The radial distribution function suggests that there exist three novel phases, a gas phase, a liquid droplet phase, and a face-centered cubic (FCC) crystal droplet phase, depending on the minimum values of that potential. The dynamics of droplet growth is also investigated both in liquid droplet phase and in crystal droplet phase. Thus, different types of characteristic growth stages are found.

In this paper, the basic requirements of catenary in railroad traction is explained. Three different types of catenary suspension systems for different terrains, environments and high speed / low speed trains are presented. The essential requirements of catenary such as reliability, cost effectiveness, maintenance and ruggedness requirements are discussed. The catenary materials and safety problems associated in it are dealt.

This study shows the design process of a MR damper for semi-active suspension systems. Damping force characteristics of the designed damper was predicted through the flow analysis and magnetic analysis. The predicted results were compared with the experimental results and the initial design specification was modified according to the results.

A nonlinear feedback linearizing control method for a EMS(Electro Magnetic Suspension) system is proposed. After linearizing the system using the exact linearizing method, conventional linear system control theory has been applied. Computer simulations are carried out in order to compare the performance of the proposed controller with that of the existing controller designed by using Taylor series expansion around nominal points.

Culture conditions were established for high frequency plant regeneration via somatic embryogenesis from cell suspension cultures of Nymphoides coreana. Zygotic embryos formed pale-yellow globular structures and calluses at a frequency of 85.6% when cultured on half-strength Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 0.3 $mg\;l^{-1}$ of 2,4-D. However, the frequency of pale-yellow globular structures and white callus formation decreased slightly with an increasing concentration of 2,4-D up to 10 $mg\;l^{-1}$ with the frequency rate falling to 16.7%. Cell suspension cultures were established from zygotic embryo-derived calluses using half-strength MS medium supplemented with 0.3 $mg\;l^{-1}$ of 2,4-D. Upon plating onto half-strength MS basal medium, over 92.3% of cell aggregates gave rise to numerous somatic embryos and developed into plantlets. Regenerated plantlets were successfully transplanted into potting soil and achieved full growth to an adult plant in a growth chamber. The high frequency plant regeneration system for Nymphoides coreana established in this study will be useful for genetic manipulation and cryopreservation of this species.

Structural health monitoring (SHM) systems have been recently embraced in long span cable-supported bridges, in which buffeting-induced stress monitoring is one of the tasks to ensure the safety of the bridge under strong winds. In line with this task, this paper presents a SHM-oriented finite element model (FEM) for the Tsing Ma suspension bridge in Hong Kong so that stresses/strains in important bridge components can be directly computed and compared with measured ones. A numerical procedure for buffeting induced stress analysis of the bridge based on the established FEM is then presented. Significant improvements of the present procedure are that the effects of the spatial distribution of both buffeting forces and self-excited forces on the bridge deck structure are taken into account and the local structural behaviour linked to strain/stress, which is prone to cause local damage, are estimated directly. The field measurement data including wind, acceleration and stress recorded by the wind and structural health monitoring system (WASHMS) installed on the bridge during Typhoon York are analyzed and compared with the numerical results. The results show that the proposed procedure has advantages over the typical equivalent beam finite element models.

This study describes an efficient protocol for Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation of two subgroups of genotype AAA bananas (Musa acuminata cv. Pei Chiao and Musa acuminata cv. Gros Michel). Instead of using suspension cells, cauliflower-like bud clumps, also known as multiple bud clumps (MBC), were induced from sucker buds on MS medium containing $N^6$-Benzylaminopurine (BA), Thidiazuron (TDZ), and Paclobutrazol (PP333). Bud slices were co-cultivated with A. tumefaciens C58C1 or EHA105 that carry a plasmid containing Arabidopsis root-type ferredoxin gene (Atfd3) and a plant ferredoxin-like protein (pflp) gene, respectively. These two strains showed differences in transformation efficiency. The EHA105 strain was more sensitive in Pei Chiao, 51.3% bud slices were pflp-transformed, and 12.6% slices were Atfd3-transformed. Gros Michel was susceptible to C58C1 and the transformation efficiency is 4.4% for pflp and 13.1% for Atfd3. Additionally, gene integration of the putative pflp was confirmed by Southern blot. Resulting from the pathogen inoculation assay, we found that the pflp transgenic banana exhibited resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense tropical race 4. This protocol is highly advantageous to banana cultivars that have difficulties in setting up suspension cultures for the purpose of quality improvement through genetic transformation. In addition, this protocol would save at least 6 months in obtaining explants for transformation and reduce labor for weekly subculture in embryogenic cell suspension culture systems.
