  • In the case of single well pumping tests the storativities are generally overestimated. To compensate these errors, the effective wellbore radius should be introduced as a distance to an imaginary observation well in the time-drawdown analysis. Effective wellbore radius can be calculated through step drawdown tests or using skin factor equation. But both are of trial-and-error methods guessing real storativity values and, therefor, are difficult to apply to the field conditions. An equation was developed to estimate effective wellbore radius from storativity values obtained from pumping well data. For this study, a total of 136 time-drawdown data set were used to derive the equation. The effective wellbore radius were estimated first by changing them till the storativity values obtained from the pumping-well data match the ones based on the observation-well data. Then the equation was regressed from the relation between effective wellbore radius and the storativity values obtained from the pumping-well data. It is believed that the equation would be useful in estimating effective wellbore radius from the single well tests.

  • The purpose of this study was to provide fundamental information for the enhancement of performance through kinematic analysis of cornering according to the radius of curve course in short track speed skating. To perform this study, six skaters: three narrow radius players(N, body mass: $56.0{\pm}7.2$ kg, height: $163.7{\pm}5.1$ cm, age: $21.3{\pm}1.5$ yrs) and three wide radius players(W, body mass: $61.0{\pm}9.5$ kg, height: $169.0{\pm}4.4$ cm, age: $20.0{\pm}1.7$ yrs). Three-dimensional motion analysis was performed on the section from the forth block starting to show the change of radius to the sixth block using eight infrared cameras(sampling frequency of 100 Hz for N and W players). The time of push-off was greater for N than for W(p<.05) while the radius of center of mass was greater for W than for N(p<.05). The flexion and extension of knee and hip joint were greater for N than for W(p<.05). The external rotation of left knee joint was greater for N than for W(p<.05). Based on the findings, a small radius by increasing the range of the flexion and extension of knee and hip joint with greater external rotation of left knee joint would be related to more efficient run at curve. It is expected that these results will be useful in developing a training program for enhancing performance of short track speed skating athletes.

  • Unequal wheel-radius causes odometry errors which may be increased unbounded. This paper deals with the practical method for modification of wheel-radius through experiments. This can increase the robot's odometric accuracy. Experimental results are presented that show improvement of odometric accuracy.

  • An electric fan for cooling high density electronic devices is limited and operated in very low efficiency. The corona discharge is utilized as the driving mechanism for an ionic gas pump, which allows for air flow control and generation with low noise and no moving parts. These ideal characteristics of ionic pump give rise to variety applications. However, all of these applications would benefit from maximizing the flow velocities and yields of the ionic pump. In this study, a needle-mesh type ionic pump has been investigated by focusing on the radius of curvature of corona needle points elevating the ionic wind velocity and efficiency. It is found that the radius of curvature of the corona discharge needle point influences significantly to produce the ionic wind and efficiency. As a result, an elevated ionic wind velocity and increased ionic wind generation yield can be obtained by optimized the radius of curvature of the corona needle electrode.

  • Affine invariant sufficient conditions are given for two local convergence theorems involving inexact Newton-like methods. The first uses conditions on the first Frechet-derivative whereas the second theorem employs hypotheses on the second. Radius of con-vergence as well as rate of convergence results are derived. Results involving superlinear convergence and known to be true for inexact Newton methods are extended here. Moreover we show that under hypotheses on the second Frechet-derivation our radius of convergence results are derived. Results involving superlinear convergence and known to be true or inexact Newton methods are extended here. Moreover we show that under hypotheses on the second Frechet-derivative our radius of conver-gence is larger than the corresponding one in [10]. This allows a wider choice for the initial guess. A numerical example is also pro-vided to show that our radius of convergence is larger then the one in [10].

  • The effect of nose radius on aerodynamic heating is investigated by using the Navier-Stokes code extended to thermochemical nonequilibrium airflow, Spherical blunt bodies, whose nose radius varies from 0.O03048 m to 0.6096 m, flying at Mach 25 at an altitude of 53.34 km are considered. Comparison of heat flux at stagnation point with the solution of Viscous Shock Layer and Fay-Riddell are made. Results show that the flow for very small radius is in a nearly frozen state, and therefore the heat flux due to diffusion is smaller than that due to translational energy. As the radius becomes larger, the portion of heat flux by diffusion becomes greater than that of heat flux by translational temperature and approaches to a constant value.
