This paper considers the problem of subway crew scheduling. Crew scheduling is concerned with finding a minimum number of assignments of crews to a given timetable satisfying various restrictions. Traditionally, crew scheduling problem has been formulated as a set covering or set partitioning problem possessing exponentially many variables, but even the LP relaxation of the problem is hard to solve due to the exponential number of variables. In this paper, we propose two basic techniques that solve the problem in a reasonable time, though the optimality of the solution is not guaranteed. To reduce the number of variables, we adopt column-generation technique. We could develop an algorithm that solves column-generation problem in polynomial time. In addition, the integrality of the solution is accomplished by variable-fixing technique. Computational results show column-generation makes the problem of treatable size, and variable fixing enables us to solve LP relaxation in shorter time without a considerable increase in the optimal value. Finally, we were able to obtain an integer optimal solution of a real instance within a reasonable time.

This paper is to investigate theoretically position fixing by using gyroscopic inertia of free gyroscope. with respect to a reference position or starting point, the changes of the inclination angle of the spin axes and the elapsed time are taken a measurement. By using the two basic factors like changes of angles a position is fixed.

In order to clarify the effect of the associative nitrogen fixing bacteria on the growth of corn(Zea mays L. Suwon19), we inoculated corn seedlings with Azospirillum amazonense Y1, a micro-aerobic and acid-tolerant nitrogen fixer, and analyzed the growth and dry matter production and changes of nitrogen and phosphorus quantity of the plant during the growing period. The inoculation of associative N-fixing bacgteria increased the growth of height, leaf area, dry weight and total nitrogen quantity of the plant by 15.4%, 65.4%, 33.7% and 38.0%, respectively, on the day of 56th after sowing. Especially the inoculation of A. amazonense Y1 showed two to three-fold accumulation of phosphorus in each organ of plant. The associative bacteria accelerated the growth of the under ground parts more than those of the upper ground parts of corn plant, and caused decrease in T/R ratios.

Nitrogen fixing activity associated with 40 varieties of rice was assayed at heading stage by an in situ acetylene reduction method. The in situ acetylene reduction activity and population of nitrogen fixing bacteria obtained on nitrogen-free malate medium for Azospirillum spp. enrichment showed positive correlation. Six Azospirillum spp. with high nitrogenase activity were isolated from the rice roots, from which five spp. were identified as A. lipoferum and one was A. brasilense. The physiological characteristics of the six Azospirillum isolates, that is, carbon source utilization, biotin requirement, antibiotic resistance, indole acetic acid excretion, plasmid profile and protein patterns were compared.

This study is na introduction of ADS in which we have written out programs which can design three-dimensional machine parts and reduce the required time for design them comparing with other CADs. Among the machine parts, screws are commonly used in joining one part to another because of easy handling but welding and rivet are used to join permanently them even thought hard operation. Consequently, w have developed the screw for permanent fixing using stairs type screw threads, which is considered as the main machine parts in joining. For that, we designed permanent fastened screws according to the different rotation angle using VisualLISP and transferred it to ANSYS, structural solution program, to find out allowance load, maximum equivalent stress and where it occur.

A bulk curing experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of air flow reduction in the bulk barn from color fixing stage in the chemical properties of cured leaves, The air flow was controlled by reducing air velocity of a blower from 0.3m/sec to 0.2m/sec using a boltage regulator(Slidac). The bulk curing before color fixing stage was processed in the conventional curing method. Reduction of air circulation in bulk barn did not affected so much on change of the contents of the main chemical components in cured leaved, such as nicotine, total sugar, total nitrogen, petroleum ether extract, and organic acids. Only a slight increase in essential oil contents, such as solanone, damascenone, damascone, $\beta$-ionone, and megastigmatrienone isomer, could be observed in leaves cured in the reduced air flow.

It has been proven in previous work that rosin sizing agents are distributed relatively homogeneously on the outer surface of paper. Therefore, rosin sizing agents on paper surfaces can be characterized by macro domain measurement techniques with very thin layer from the surface. In this work, the role of rosin sizing agents on paper surface was investigated by comparing wettability from contact angle measurement with the chemical state of the outermost surface by the ESCA. Furthermore, the role of rosin on the surface of paper was discussed by the quantity of hydroxyl groups obtained from chemical modification with the TFAA-ESCA technique. It was found from the ESCA data that the fixing mechanism with soap-type rosin sizing is different from that with emulsion-type rosin sizing.

The productive products are required diversification of product development and advanced for competitiveness. A lot of methods to fix architecture wrapping panels and stone materials are developed in domestic area very much. In this paper, it is very important that a fixing device of slate and molds were developed to reduce the production cost and improve safety. Therefore new model was suggested to reduce manufacturing cost and structure design and FEM analysis were performed to manufacture die press dies for mass production.

This study is to investigate the Function of sleeve for the construction of cuffs. Three measuremental items of sleeve cap high, length of sleeve and puff quantity of upper sleeve cap are compared between when the experimental man raises righthand static pose. The wearing test is done in sewing cuffs of either fixing up cuffs or not-fixing up cuffs, and in no cuffs. Three measuremental items are pulled length from sleeve end, pulled length from side waist line, and pulled dimensions from waist line. 1. The result according to the length and dimensions variation caused by a change of sleeve cap high. 2. The results according to the length and dimensions variation caused by a sort of sleeve length. 3. The results according to the length and dimension variation caused by the puff quantity of sleeve cap.
