This study was initiated to evaluate the growth characteristics of creeping bentgrass cultivars during the sprlng season. The green-up of 'CY' and 'T-1' were about 2 weeks earlier than the other cultivars followed by 'Penn A' 'Crenshaw', 'L> 'Penncross' > 'Putter' > 'Dominant' > 'SR1020' in that order. 'T-1' and 'CY-2' had the highest chlorophyll content while 'Penncross' had the lowest during the spring. 'Crenshaw' and 'Penn A-4' showed the highest shoot density in this research, followed by 'CY-2', 'L-93', 'T-1', 'Putter', 'Dominant', 'SR1020', and 'Penncross' in that order. In case of root length, 'CY-2' and 'L-93' were the best cultivars, but 'Penncross' was worst during the spring. 'CY-2' had the best visual quality among the cultivars, 'T-1' and 'Crenshaw' also classified as high visual quality group whereas 'SR1020', 'Dominant' and 'Penncross' were grouped in relatively low quality. In conclusion, 'CY-2', 'T-1' and 'Crenshaw' were the best cultivars in terms of growth characteristics in spring. Conversely, 'SR1020' and 'Penncross' were the poorest cultivars. These results can be more useful for management or constructing of golf courses. However, this research was performed with little compaction stress. More information is needed on the tolerance to compaction stress of these bentgrass cultivars.

Forest timber production potential of any site is oftentimes measured quantitatively by site index, which is defined as dominant height of a particular stand at a specified age. A site index was developed for estimating site quality of monoculture Pinus caribaea plantations in southwestern Nigeria using a base age of 25 years. Dominant height data were collected from 60 Temporary Sample Plots (TSPs) of $20{\times}20m$ in plantations of 15 to 37 years. Linear and non-linear models as been widely applied in quantitative forest measurements were fitted to dominant height-age data and the best site index equation is : $SI=Exp^{(InHd-23.495(A^{-2}-0.04)}$. The site index curves constructed for the three sites (Omo Forest Reserve - OFR (J4), Oluwa Forest Reserve - OLFR and Shasha Forest Reserve - SFR) across the southwestern Nigeria using the chosen equation revealed that a 15 year old Pinus caribaea in the study area attained average dominant heights of 25, 22 and 21 m in OFR (J4), OLFR and SFR respectively. The site index equation and curves proffer veritable insight into better silvicultural options and management practices for the future plantations suitable sites.

A simple and effective analysis method is presented for predicting the best infiltration area. Based on geospatial information, numerical estimation barometer for degree of infiltration risk has been derived. The dominant geospatial features influencing infiltration risk have been found to be area altitude, degree of surface gradient, relative direction of surface gradient to the surveillance line, degree of surface gradient repetition, regional forest information. Each feature has been numerically expressed corresponding to the degree of infiltration risk of that area. Four different detection probability maps of infiltration risk for the surveillance area are drawn on the actual map with respect to the numerically expressed five dominant factors of infiltration risks. By combining the four detection probability maps, the complete picture of thr best infiltration area has been drawn. By using the map and the analytic method the effectiveness of surveillance operation can be improved.

The best method is selected among the 3 digital dynamic compensation methods which are developed or applied for the Rhodium self-powered neutron detector. The three digital dynamic compensation methods are the existing Dominant Pol Tustin method of the COLSS(Core Operating Limit Supervisory System), the Direct Inversion method and Kalman Filter method. The Direct Inversion method is an improved method of D. Hoppe and R. Maletti and the Kalman Filter method is developed using the Kalman Filter. Response times of the compensated signals to achieve 90% of a step input are 28.1, 17.2 and 6.5 seconds respectively for the same noise gain telling that the Kalman Filter method is the best amens the 3 methods.

Reliable flow measurement for dry season is very important to set up the in-stream flow exactly and total maximum daily load control program in the basin. Especially, in the points which tidal current effects are dominant because reliability of the low measurement decrease. The reliable measuring methods are needed. In this study, we analysis the water surface elevation difference of water surface elevation. Quantity relationship to consider tidal currents in these regions. It is known that tidal current effects from Nakdong river barrage are dominant in Samrangjin measuring station. We developed multiple regression equation with water surface elevation, quantity, and difference of water surface elevation and compared these results water measured rating curve. All of these regression equation including linear regression equation and log regression equation fits better measured data them existing water surface elevation quantity line and Among three equations, the log regression equation is best to represent the measured the rating curve in Samrangjin point. The log regression equation is useful method to obtain the quantity in the regions which tidal currents are dominant.

In recent years, Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) strengthening is found to be one of the best methods to strengthen steel structures. The fibrous bond can also influence the vibration characteristics of the strengthened element apart from its static strength enhancement property. The main objective of this study is to understand the influence of CFRP strengthening on the dynamic Behaviour of Thin-Webbed Castellated Beams (TWCBs). A detailed experimental investigation was carried out on five sets of beams with varying parameters such as domination of shear (Shear Dominant, Moment Dominant and Moment and Shear Dominant), sectional classification (Plastic and Semi-compact) and perforation geometries (h_o/d_wratio 0.65 and e/h_o ratio 0.3). Free vibration analysis was carried out by exciting the simply supported TWCBs with an impact force generated by a ball dropped from a specific height. Logarithmic decrement method was used to obtain the damping ratio and natural frequencies of vibration were found by Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). Natural frequency showed an increase in a range of 10.5 - 55% for the different sets of castellated beams. An increase of 62.30% was noted in the damping ratio of TWCBs after strengthening which is an indication of improvement in the vibration characteristics of the beam.

Potato virus X (PVX) resistance in potato is one of the best-characterized resistance models, however little is known in pepper. To evaluate the resistance to PVX in Capsicum annuum, a total of eleven pepper accessions were used for resistance screening against two PVX strains, USA and UK3. None of them were resistant against strain UK3, whereas four resistant genotypes were found against strain USA, three of which were further characterized. Two unlinked dominant genes were identified for both genotypes Bukang and Perennial; resistance in the genotype CV3 seemed to be conferred by two complementary dominant genes. These results demonstrated that the resistance to PVX in C. annuum is different from that in potato. This is the first report on genetic analysis of PVX resistance in C. annuum.

A finite element analysis for physical phenomenon which are governed by parabolic equation, has some inefficiencies caused by much computational time and large storage space. In this paper, a comparative study is performed to suggest the best efficient transient analysis algorithms for parabolic equations. First, the general finite element analysis techniques are summarized in views of formulation procedures, treatments of convection terms. and time stepping methods. Results of several combinations applied to one dimensional convection-diffusion equation and Burger equation are represented and compared using some criteria such as accuracy, stability, and computational time. Through the results, some guidelines to select a algorithm for solving parabolic equations are proposed for diffusion dominant and convection dominant cases. Finally applicability of two dimensional extension of the result is also discussed.
