The purposes of this study were to investigate the concentration of total coliforms in sewage effluents during the period from August 2004 to October 2005. The removal efficiency range of multi-tube method and plate count method were $31.3{\sim}99.5%$ and $66.8{\sim}99.2%$, respectively. Though a correlation between the multi-tube method and the plate count method in the same sample is low, not only is an experimental procedure very simple, but the time required also is short. The seasonal correlation between methods showed more sensitive spring and summer than autumn and winter. So the study indicated plate count method can be used in rapid and reliance identification of total coliform more than the multi-tube method.

Crown fractures are a common type of dental injuries and very frequently occurred on maxillary anterior teeth, area of requiring a rapid aesthetic recovery. Crown fragment reattachment is a simple and conservative method to restore the fractured teeth. The technique promotes esthetic outcomes as utilizing natural contour, shade, surface texture of teeth and gives mechanical similarity in terms of wear-resistance. Also it gives emotional positive responses to patients and requires less of chair time and costs. This case report presents two cases of crown fragment reattachments on maxillrary anterior teeth, including one complicated crown fracture and one uncomplicated crown fracture. If the fragment is available in cases of crown fractures, reattachment of fragment can be regarded as a predictable alternative. However, it is all the time important that a close conversation informing the patients about the limitations and prognoses of this treatment option.

Water hammer phenomena are important issues for the design and the operation of hydro power plants. Especially, if several reversible pump-turbines are coupled hydraulically there may be strong unit interactions. The precise prediction of all relevant transients is challenging. Regarding a recent pump-storage project, dynamic measurements motivate an improved turbine modeling approach making use of a Thoma number dependency. The proposed method is validated for several transient scenarios and turns out to improve correlation between measurement and simulation results significantly. Starting from simple scenarios, this allows better prediction of more complex transients. By applying a fully automated simulation procedure broad operating ranges of the highly nonlinear system can be covered providing a consistent insight into the plant dynamics. This finally allows the optimization of the closing strategy and hence the overall power plant performance.

Dynamic pile loading test using PDA was introduced in 1994. Because of its economy and relatively easy and simple procedure, the number of PDA application increased quite rapidly. It is assumed that more than 10,000 dynamic pile loading tests are done annually. While the number of testing increases sharply, the quality of the tests does not really improve but the number of serious problems due to improper testing increases. According to the limited experiences of the authors, the common problems found in most of the cases are caused by ignorance of the most basic and fundamental requirements. In this paper some case histories are explained and the proposed solution is introduced.

In this study, a concrete faced rockfill dam constructed by stages was numerically analyzed, and the numerical results were compared with in situ measurements. The simple incremental elastic and isotropic hyperbolic model was employed to characterize the nonlinear deformation behavior of rockfill material and computational procedure followed construction sequence. A series of large triaxial tests for rockfill material were carried out to obtain mechanical input parameters. According to the analysis results, relative great additional deformation was introduced at the surface of stage-I dam body due to the loading by stage-II construction. The results reveal that numerical analysis can effectively simulate the construction processes, and some meaningful insights about the behavior of CFRD during construction were gained.

This Paper Presents a efficient algorithm for loss reduction of distribution system by automatic sectionalizing switch operation in distribution systems of radial type. To apply tabu search to reconfiguration of distribution system, in this Paper we Propose the several move methods and efficient reconfiguration procedure. We also discuss the tabu search techniques of diversifying the search of solution space as well as the simple tabu search. The experimental results show that the proposed tabu search techniques have the ability to search a good solution.

In this study, the dynamic response of the umbilical cable in a deep-water unmanned underwater vehicle system was analyzed. In order to analyze the forces acting on the cable, the launcher and umbilical cable were modeled by the simple 1-D mass-spring system. Damping and dynamic analysis was carried out by a direct time integration scheme using the $Newmark-{\beta}$ method with inverse iteration procedure, considering the nonlinear drag forces acting on the launcher. The obtained results of the present study can be used for the design of connecting the structure of the launcher and cable of the UUV system.

We use the slope bounded saturation nonlinear feedback element instead of relay to find ultimate gain and period of linear plant. Saturation nonlinear element reduces the high harmonics of plant output. The reduction of high harmonics improve the accuracy of describing function method used to find ultimate gain and period. We give a simple procedure to find ultimate gain and period with saturation nonlinear element. A PID controller design method with known time delay element is also given, which is very useful when oscillation is not occurred with nonlinear element.

A nonlinear self-tuning regulator for a neutralization process of a weak acid and strong base system is proposed. Rearranging the state equation of the process model, we first obtain equations which are linear for a manipulated variable or unknown parameters. Then to these equations we apply the standard procedure used in designing linear self-tuning regulators. Simulation results show that the regulator provides very good performances for various realistic situations and traces variations of the unknown parameters. Since computations are simple and additional measurements except the effluent pH value are only flow rates of influent streams, it can be easily applied to real processes such as a waste water treatment process.

For a parabolic reflector antenna, a simple method is presented for computing efficiently the average power pattern degradations caused by the surface roughness of the reflector and misalignments between the reflector and the feed. In this procedure, both nonuniform surface errors and nonuniform illuminations are employed. The assumptions to derive the expressions are that in each annular region of the antenna, the rms value of the surface roughness is known, and in a zone in a annular region, the phase error by misalignments is constant, and can be taken to its value at the center of the zone. Detailed parametric studies are performed with derived expressions to determine the effects of those errors and illumination tapers on parameters such as gain and sidelobe levels.
