  • The door open time, resulting from occupants evacuating from apartments, is an important parameter when assessing the performance of smoke ventilation systems in high-rise apartment buildings. However, the values recommended in UK design guidance appear to have limited substantiation. Monte Carlo simulations have been carried out considering variabilities in door swing time, flow rate and number of occupants. It has been found that the door open time can be represented by a lognormal distribution with a mean of 6.6, 8.7 and 11.1 s and a standard deviation of 1.7, 3.2 and 4.7 s for one, two and three-bedroom apartments, respectively. For deterministic analyses, it is proposed that the 95th percentile values may be adopted in line with recommended practice for other fire safety design parameters such as fuel load density and soot yield, giving door open times of 10 s to 19 s, depending on the number of bedrooms.

  • Chicken surimi from mechanically deboned chicken meat was prepared with 0.2% oleoresin spices such as rosemary, thyme, sage, mace, marjoram, and bay. Samples were stored at -18$\^{C}$ for 14 weeks to observe quality change including lipid oxidation, color and textural properties. The pH of surimi decreased from pH 7.44∼7.58 stored at 1 day to pH 7.03∼7.13 stored at 14 weeks. The control surimi showed higher level of pH during storage periods. Color stabiilty of surimi decreased during frozen storage both in control and oleoresin added surimi. Control surimi comparatively maintained higher color stability during frozen storage because of higher L* and a* values, and lower b*. On the contrary, the marjoram addition significantly decreased L* and a* value, and increased b* value compared with other oleoresins. Therefore, the color of surimi seems to be affected original color of oleoresin spice itself. Gel strength showed loser level in oleoresin added surimi than control surimi. Oleoresin spices inhibited lipid oxidation significantly because less thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance(TBARS) were accumulated in oleoresin added surimi than control surimi. Sage was the most effective in minimizing lipid oxidation in frozen surimi as TBARS of sage added surimi stored for 14 weeks maintained only 42% compared with that of control. In conclusion, the 6 kinds of oleoresin in this experiment retarded oxidative rancidity in chicken surimi but there was no beneficial effect on the surface color and gel strength.

  • To develop natural antioxidant from spices and control thermal oxidation of edible soybean oil, the available antioxidative compounds of various spices were extracted with edible soybean oil. The storage stability of the oil mixed with purified sardine oil and soybean oil containing that extracts at $37^{\circ}C$ were investigated. Furthermore the antioxidative activity of petroleum ether soluble fractions(PESF) obtained from rosemary on the thermal oxidation of edible soybean oil during heating at $180^{\circ}C$ were also investigated. By mixing with refined sardine oil and soybean oil extracts of rosemary, sage of herb spices and mace of seed spices, the oxidative stabilities were remarkably increased. The thermal oxidation of edible soybean oil was also supressed by the addition of 1.0%(w/w) of PESF obtained from rosemary. Rosemary extract exhibited higher antioxidative activity on thermal oxidation of edible soybean oil than butylated hydroxytoluene.

  • We proposed a symbolic substitution method based on an optical correlator for an optical parallel addition. In the proposed symbolic substitution method, we used redundant binary number of the symbolic substitution rules as a number system and chose MAC3E filter which had very low sidelobes and good correlation peak compared with SDF filter as the optical correlation filter. We encoeded input numbers property to increase the discrimination capability and divided inpt patterns into 5 groups of the same addition results to minimize the number of symbolic substitution rules. Through the computer simulation, we confirmed the proposed method was suitable to implement the optical parallel adder.

  • The resilient mounts of a diesel engine installed onboard a ship should be designed for both static and dynamic loads. If possible, the resonance frequencies of the six rigid body modes of the installation and the flexible modes of the engine support structure should not lie within the engine operation range. In this paper a design criterion is proposed to evaluate an isolation system which involves the summation of dynamic forces transmitted through the resilient mounts and elastic potential energy index stored in the mounts. A case study is also presented in which a diesel engine generator, which had an elastic foundation and was mounted in a 5500 TEU container vessel, was studied both theoretically and experimentally. The theoretical analysis of the test model was performed by using a single mass 6 degree of freedom system. Actual measurements of mechanical vibration of the Engine and its foundation onboard were carried out, which showed the importance of including the flexibility of the engine support structure in the mode

  • We have limited the transfer power to capital area below a certain level which is called "The Capital Area Transfer Power Limit", and calculated on every Thursday for the application next week. This level is very important in our network operation, because if this level is not set properly, our power network can be fallen under great danger in case of a fault among the transfer power line. But the calculation procedure for the limit level is so complicated and iterative that it mace us spend much time and do much work. So, when a sudden trip of the related facility to the limit level we can't recalculate the limit level fast enough. And this can drop our network reliability below our standards, therefore our network can be dangerous. To avoid this kind of problems, we have figured out a method to calculate simply the limit level. That method uses the index related to the level. We think this method can make short of the calculation procedures for the level. This paper deals with the simplified method for the calculation of the level limit.

  • We developed an observation control software for the IGRINS (Immersion Grating Infrared Spectrograph) silt-viewing camera module, which points the astronomical target onto the spectroscopy slit and sends tracking feedbacks to the telescope control system. The point spread function (PSF) is not always symmetric. In addition, bright targets are easily saturated and shown as a donut shape. It is not trivial to define and find the center of the asymmetric PSF especially on a slit mask. We made a center balancing algorithm (CBA) following the concept of median. The CBA derives the expected center position along the slit-width axis by referencing the stray flux ratios of both upper and lower sides of the slit. We compared efficiencies of the CBA and those of a two-dimensional Gaussian fitting (2DGA) through simulations from observation images in order to evaluate the center finding algorithms. Both of the algorithms are now applied in observation and users can select the algorithm.

  • We present a library of high-resolution (R~45,000) and high signal-to-noise ratio ($S/N{\geq}200$) near-infrared spectra of 147 standard stars. High quality spectra were obtained with Immersion GRating INfrared Spectrograph (IGRINS) covering the full range of H ($1.496-1.795{\mu}m$) and K ($2.080-2.460{\mu}m$) bands. The targets are mainly selected as MK standard stars which have well-defined spectral types and luminosity classes, and cover a wide range of effective temperatures and surface gravities. The spectra were corrected for telluric absorption lines and absolute flux calibrated using Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) photometry. We find new spectral indices in H and K bands and provide their EWs. We describe empirical relations between the measured EWs and stellar atmosphere parameters such as effective temperature and surface gravity.

  • Beams with web openings are an attractive system for multi-storey buildings where it is always desirable to have long spans. The openings in the web of steel beams enable building services to be integrated within the constructional depth of a floor, thus reducing the total floor depth. At the same time, the increased beam depth can give high bending moment capacity, thus allowing long spans. However, almost all of the research studies on web openings have been concentrated on beam behaviour at ambient temperature. In this paper, a preliminary numerical analysis using ABAQUS is conducted to develop a general understanding of the effect of the presence of web opening on the behaviour of steel beams at elevated temperatures. It is concluded that the presence of web openings will have substantial influence on the failure temperatures of axially unrestrained beams and the opening size at the critical position in the beam is the most important factor. For axially restrained beams, the effect of web openings on the beam's large deflection behaviour and catenary force is smaller and it is the maximum opening size that will affect the beam's response at very high temperatures. However, it is possible that catenary action develops in beams with web openings at temperatures much lower than the failure temperatures of the same beam without axial restraint that are often used as the basis of current design.

  • This study concerns the role of costume in Shakespearean tragedy from the viewpoint of the role theory. The term "role" has been used to represent the behavior expected of the occupant of a given position or status. A specific role can not be successfully performed without the aid of the Costumes. Costumes are adopted in relation with a specific role. The role of social status and position reflects sex, age, occupation, class, economic position of the characters. In his works, the crown and the mace represented not only the throne but also a previllege and supreme position. The sitution role of costume could be widely used for visualizing the psychological situation and external environments of the characters on the stage. The disguise role hided one's status, thereby makes possible acting others position. And the disguise role can bring about the change of status, age, sex, occupation, and atmosphere. The costume could be used as a voucher of love. The costume performed the role of the physical and psychic protection, and provided its wearer with consolation and peaceful mind. The costume reflected the custom of a society through its wearing condition and wearing configuration. The results obtained from this study can provide useful cues for understanding the role action in the social structure. This kind of understanding reveals the costume phenomena in real life, allows one to perform roles properly and efficiently, and opens our insight on the overall aspects of the costume culture.
