  • Firstly we consider preorders (not necessarily partial orders) on a canonical quotient of the set of the homotopy classes of continuous maps between two spaces induced by a certain equivalence relation ${\sim}_{{\varepsilon}R}$. Secondly we apply it to a classification of orientable fibrations over Y with fibre X. In the classification theorem of J. Stasheff [22] and G. Allaud [3], they use the set $[Y,\;Baut_1X]$ of homotopy classes of continuous maps from Y to $Baut_1X$, which is the classifying space for fibrations with fibre X due to A. Dold and R. Lashof [11]. In this paper we give a classification of fibrations using a preordered set (abbr., proset) structure induced by $[Y,\;Baut_1X]_{{\varepsilon}R}:=[Y,\;Baut_1X]/{\sim}_{{\varepsilon}R}$.

  • The purpose of this paper is to investigate the hygrothermal effects on the behavior of reinforced-concrete beams strengthened by bonded composite laminate plates (${\theta}n/90m)s$. This work is based on a simple theoretical model to estimate the interfacial stresses developed between the concrete beam and the composite with taking into account the hygrothermal effect. Fibre orientation angle effects of number of $90^{\circ}$ layers and effects of plate thickness and length on the distributions of interfacial stress in the concrete beams reinforced with composite plates have also been studied.

  • Any revision of seismic codes usually demands a higher capacity from structural members, making existing structures unsafe particularly from strength considerations. Retrofitting of capacity deficient members is very suitable for tackling such situations. This paper presents an experimental study on different retrofitting measures adopted for strengthening a series of reinforced concrete (RC) beams. Four identical RC beam specimens were casted, out of which three specimens were strengthened by different schemes (viz., bolted hot rolled flat, bolted cold-formed steel channel, and carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminate, respectively) on their tension face and tested under four-point monotonic loading. This study focuses on the investigation of the flexural behaviour of these retrofitted beams, observed in terms of strength and stiffness. It was concluded that all retrofitting measures improved the structural performance of these beams. However, the cost involved with each strengthening mode was proportional to the improvement in the performance achieved.

  • PET fabric is used as a regular clothing in the middle-east region which is called Chador as a women's clothing and Thobe as a men's clothing. Then there is a big difference of export price according to the minute hand characteristics of the PET fabrics, of which characteristics are due to the fibre and manufacturing process characteristics. This research surveys the optimum manufacturing conditions related to the fibre and fabric for the Thobe clothing which were developed in this study through comparison with high price Teijin Thobe manufactured in Japan. In this research, four kinds of Teijin fabrics made in Japan were prepared as a target quality specimen, and five kinds of developed fabrics were produced as an experimental specimens. These specimens were made by changing yarn denier, twist, yarn setting conditions and fabric density, which are also changed by twist contraction, weaving and finishing shrinkages. As a result of this study, the sensitive characteristics of Teijin Thobe fabrics can be analysed from fibre and fabric, and then the manufacturing design technology was constructed under the base of low twist texturing and 3 dimensional fabric design simulation technologies.

  • A k-dimensional vector bundle is a bundle ${\xi}=(E,P,B,F^k)$ with fibre $F^k$ satisfying the local triviality, where F is the field of real numbers R or complex numbers C ([1], [2] and [3]). Let $Vect_k(X)$ be the set consisting of all isomorphism classes of k-dimensional vector bundles over the topological space X. Then $Vect_F(X)=\{Vect_k(X)\}_{k=0,1,{\cdots}}$ is a semigroup with Whitney sum (${\S}1$). For a pair (X, A) of topological spaces, a difference isomorphism over (X, A) is a vector bundle morphism ([2], [3]) ${\alpha}:{\xi}_0{\rightarrow}{\xi}_1$ such that the restriction ${\alpha}:{\xi}_0{\mid}A{\longrightarrow}{\xi}_1{\mid}A$ is an isomorphism. Let $S_k(X,A)$ be the set of all difference isomorphism classes over (X, A) of k-dimensional vector bundles over X with fibre $F^k$. Then $S_F(X,A)=\{S_k(X,A)\}_{k=0,1,{\cdots}}$, is a semigroup with Whitney Sum (${\S}2$). In this paper, we shall prove a relation between $Vect_F(X)$ and $S_F(X,A)$ under some conditions (Theorem 2, which is the main theorem of this paper). We shall use the following theorem in the paper. THEOREM 1. Let ${\xi}=(E,P,B)$ be a locally trivial bundle with fibre F, where (B, A) is a relative CW-complex. Then all cross sections S of ${\xi}{\mid}A$ prolong to a cross section $S^*$ of ${\xi}$ under either of the following hypothesis: (H1) The space F is (m-1)-connected for each $m{\leq}dim$ B. (H2) There is a relative CW-complex (Y, X) such that $B=Y{\times}I$ and $A=(X{\times}I)$ ${\cap}(Y{\times}O)$, where I=[0, 1]. (For proof see p.21 [2]).

  • The Hohenheim in vitro gas test was used to assess the nutritional value of some crop residues of known in vivo digestibility. The crop residues are groundnut shells (GNS) corn cobs (CC); cassava peels (CaP); unripe and ripe plantain peels (UPP, RPP) and citrus pulp/peels (CPP). Compared to other crop residues, crude protein (CP) content of CC was low. Except for CaP and CPP that had low neutral detergent fibre (NDF) and acid detergent fibre (ADF), other residues contained a high amount of cell wall constituents. Net gas production was significantly different among the crop residues (p<0.05). Gas production was highest in CPP followed by CaP. CC, UPP and RPP have the same volume of net gas production, while the least net gas production was in GNS. True dry matter (TDM) digestibility was significantly different (p<0.05) among the residues. GNS was the least in TDM digestibility. CaP, UPP and RPP had similar TDM digestibility values, while the highest TDM digestibility was obtained in CPP. OM digestibility was different among the residues (p<0.05). CaP and CPP had the same ME value while CC, UPP and RPP had close ME values and GNS the least in ME (p<0.05). The potential extent (b) and rate (c) of gas production were statistical different among the residues (p<0.05). The Hohenheim gas test gave high in vitro organic matter (OM) digestibility for CC, CaP, UPP and RPP and CPP. Fermentable carbohydrates and probably available nitrogen in the crop residues influenced net gas production. The results showed that crop residues besides, providing bulk are also a source of energy and fermentable products which could be used in ruminant livestock production in the tropics.
