This study aims to propose improvement plans and directions of existing policies to build a Barrier-Free city for the socially underprivileged. We conducted correlation analysis and T-test based on the results of a survey of the general public including the socially underprivileged to understand how their satisfaction with the use of facilities close to their daily lives, such as housing, sales·business facilities, affects their happiness. The results are as follows: First of all, the socially underprivileged experienced discomfort and barriers in urban life more than the privileged, and there was a negative(-) correlation between the degree of discomfort and barrier that the socially underprivileged experienced and happiness in urban life. Second, as a result of analyzing the difference in satisfaction with the life·welfare·leisure environment indicators, the satisfaction with the life environment showed a significant difference between the socially underprivileged and the privileged, and it was found that satisfaction in the life environment had the greatest effect on happiness to the socially underprivileged. We examined the current status and the spatial distribution of BF-certified facilities, one of the representative policies for the socially underprivileged to support their urban life without any obstacles, based on the above outcome, and most certified facilities were concentrated in welfare environment. In addition, we used ArcGIS to analyze that BF-certified facilities have been being supplied to people who really need them and saw that the spatial distribution of the socially underprivileged (elderly, children, and infant) and the distribution of BF certification facilities were somewhat consistent, but were intensively supplied to urban areas.

Bagai et al. (1989) proposed a distribution-free test for stochastic ordering in the competing risk model, and recently Murakami (2009) utilized a standard saddlepoint approximation to provide tail probabilities for the Bagai statistic under finite sample sizes. In the present paper, we consider the Gaussian-polynomial approximation proposed in Ha and Provost (2007) and compare it to the saddlepoint approximation in terms of approximating the percentiles of the Bagai statistic. We make numerical comparisons of these approximations for moderate sample sizes as was done in Murakami (2009). From the numerical results, it was observed that the Gaussianpolynomial approximation provides comparable or greater accuracy in the tail probabilities than the saddlepoint approximation. Unlike saddlepoint approximation, the Gaussian-polynomial approximation provides a simple explicit representation of the approximated density function. We also discuss the details of computations.

Wall interference is one of the major obstacles to increase the model size and data accuracy. There have been many treatments for wall interference including interference correction and adaptive wall test section. Recently, two-flexible-walled adaptive wall test section is concluded adequate for three-dimensional test. But proper location of target line and pressure holes are critical to its success. In this study, a new adaptive algorithm which dispenses target line and dependency of pressure hole distribution is suggested. The wind tunnel and free air tests are simulated by the numerical computation of Euler equations. The optimum wall shape is achieved by two variable optimization which is composed of two base streamlines. The wall interference is reduced well in the optimized result which is not sensitive to the base streamlines.

Parallelism tests are proposed for slope in the simple linear regression models. In this paper, we suggest the parametric test using HSD testing method (Tukey,1953) and distribution-free test using Kruskal-wallis (1952) for more than three slopes. Monte Carlo simulation study is adapted to compare the power of the proposed methods with Wilks' Lambda multivariate procedure.

Granite rock is reported to have three orthogonal anistoropic planes i.e., rift, grain induced by microcrack characteristics and mineral arrangement. We investigated the influence of thus fabric anisotropy in granite on elastic wave properties using free-free resonance test to obtain unconstrained compression wave velocity, shear velocity, Poisson ratio and damping ratio. As a result, Rod wave velocity is more dependent on anisotropy of granite due to microcrack distribution than shear wave velocity. In addition, anisotropy of Poisson ratio and damping ratio is also observed with respect to three anisotropic planes.

The study is aimed at investigating the main factors that affect the interest rate yields, in the long-term. In addition, the study surveys the theories and literature relating to the determinants of interest rate. The importance of which is essential not only for governments, but also for banks and corporate financial risk management decisions, including risk exposures in banks and capital markets. Interest rate influences corporate profit as well as growth. For this purpose, the study examines the impact of budget deficit, risk-free rate, capital inflows, money supply and business cycles on real interest rate in Jordan. These factors are based upon well-established theories and straightforward practical view as interest rate determinants. Using data for (1990-2015), the study employed Johansen's co-integrating test, which takes into consideration the long-term unsynchronized relationships. The data is tested for normality, symmetric correlations, covariance diagonal and unit root. The results show that the government budget deficit, short-term risk-free interest rate, capital inflows, money supply and business cycle are long-term determinants of the real interest rate in Jordan. The coefficients of government budget deficit, short-term risk-free rate, money supply and business cycle all are inversely affecting the real interest rate, while capital inflows has a positive impact on the real interest rate.

In the free molecular flow range, the pumping performance of a turbomolecular pump has been predicted by calculation of the transmission probability employing the integral method and the test particle Monte-Carlo method. The velocities of molecules incident upon a moving blade are given by the random numbers, which are sampled from the Maxwell molecular velocity distribution function. The present results agree quantitatively with the previous known numerical results. For a multi-stage pump, the velocity profile of molecules between two blade rows is not Maxwell distribution. In this case, the Monte-Carlo method is employed to calculate the overall transmission probability for the entire set of blade rows. When the results of the approximate method combining the single stage solutions are compared with those of the Monte-Carlo method for the pump having six rows at C=0.6, the approximate method overestimates as much as 36% in the maximum compression ratio and 19% in the maximum pumping speed than does the Mote-Carlo method.

This paper is concerned with the numerical analysis of the temperature of steel columns when they are exposed to flame of a fire temperature curve in order to test resistivity against the fire. In this stuer a 2-dimensional heat conduction FDM was developed to predict the temperature dustribution of steel column under various construction conditions. A proposal to estimate the influence of free water content in the insulation also made.

A class of nonparametric estimators of the ratio of scale parameters is proposed. The estimators are based on the distribution-free rank-like test suggested by Fligner and Killeen (1976). An explicit form of the estimator is the median of the ratios of absolute deviations from the combined sample median. A small-sample Monte Carlo study shows that the proposed estimator is more efficient than the Bhattacharyya (1977) estimator. The proposed estimator is is reasonably insensitive to small failures in the assumption of equal medians. A modified estimator is also considered when the meidans are unequal.
