Abstract In this paper, we mentioned the apparatus developed to measure CFFs at the various point of the retina. Eleven CFFs measured at the central retina of both eyes (used usually} simultaneously, at the central retina of each eye separately, and at four points of the peripheral retina of each eye were analyzed together and referred to as the multi-point critical flicker fusion frequency (MCFF) . MCFF can be used to estimate the level of cortex activity, since the temporal and nasal parts of each eye are connected to different visual cortexes through the optic nerve. As the apparatus used to measure the MCFF was controlled by a micro-computer, the order of measurements and the calculation were done automatically.

Abstract The assumption that vocational aptitude changed with age and with the kind of occupation was examined from the tendency of the fitted curve for the score of the aptitude test. 9 vocational aptitudes were measured by the general vocational aptitude test by Japan Labor Ministry. Subjects were 382 male workers (design engineers, turners, welders, can manufacturing workers, and crane operators) of from 20 to 59 years old, and 348 male and female students (junior high school, vocational school, and university) of from 15 to 19 years old. The design engineers' aptitudes advanced along the quadratic curve until 31 years old, but almost all the aptitudes of the other workers fell along the linear curve with age. The design engineers preserved various aptitudes until 52 years old, the turners 44, and the welders, the can manufacturing workers, and the crane operators 37. The students' aptitudes were equal to those of the workers of from 15 to 25 years old. The workers preserved Spatial aptitude and Numerical aptitude until 45 years old. This could be said in all the occupations here. Further it was made clear from the micromotion study that the influence of age was caused by therbligs

Abstract Algorithms for system identification applying throughout Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to the major calculating operations are introduced. It is shown that by using data of about as twice length as system settling time and by truncating the incorrect correlation functions resulting from them, errors owing to finiteness of data can be avoided. It is shown that so as to suppress the effects owing to statistical fluctuation of input data or output noise, superposition of data in frequency domain is effective, and also the damping terms of poles or zeros can be efficiently evaluated by utilizing the phase change of the spectra of the impulse response sequence. The proposed method can be efficiently applied to relatively higher order systems or relatively rapidly time-variant systems because of high accuracy and high speed processing of FFT. Moreover, it needs not to assume the order of the system a priori, and yields a reasonable lower order approximating system in itself.

Abstract Condensation of 6-methoxy- and 6-methylthio-2-propionaphthone with t-butyl α-bromoisobutyrate gave the corresponding t-butyl β-hydroxy esters in yields of 80 and 84% respectively. The treatment of the β-hydroxy esters with iodine in the presence of red phosphorus in boiling acetic acid effected reductive cleavage to produce 6-hydroxy- and 6-methylthio-α, α-dimethyl-β-ethyl-2 naphthalenepropionic acid in yields of 33 and 34% respectively. Reduction of the former ester in the presence of palladium-charcoal in acetic acid gave α, α-dimethyl-β-ethyl-6-methoxy-2-naphthalenepropionic acid in a 49% yield.

Abstract Surface properties of classical one-component plasma are investigated by numerical experiments on the system with periodicity in two directions perpendicular to the planar surface. The density profile, the electrostatic potential, the electric field, and the surface energy are obtained for intermediate values of the coupling parameter of bulk part r and compared with earlier experiments on spherical system. For r=10, the surface energy is almost the same as earlier result. For r =1, however, the surface energy is reduced about a factor of 2. The consistency of experimental values of the potential with the exact relation is checked and necessity of large system size is pointed out.

Abstract In order to make clear how the efflux angle changes in a small crankcase scavenged engine cylinder and in a large loop scavenged engine cylinder, the inlet flow pattern in the single cycle model cylinder has been observed by a high speed motion camera. In general, the scavenging air stream is not effluent in the designed direction of the scavenging port at comparatively slight opening, and the efflux angle changes in proportion to port opening advance. In a small crankcase scavenged engine cylinder, to keep the scavenging air stream in the direction of the scavenging port it is effective to incline the scavenging air passage between the crankcase and the cylinder, and to make thicker the cylinder wall where located scavenging port. In a large loop scavenged engine cylinder to coincide the scavenging air stream with the direction of the scavenging port in the early stage of the scavenging, it has an effect to set the guide plate the position of 1/2 at port height.

Abstract Spectrophotometric investigations were carried out on soda-lime-silica glasses containing iron in high content, corresponding to 4.9 wt.% Fe(2)O(3), and melted under the various reducing conditions, as a part of series of studies on the redox behavior of glass. Absorption measurement was made in the range from 340 mμ to 1000 mμ. Ferric ions could not be reduced to ferrous ions completely even by the amount of carbon of four equivalents. The ratio of the strength of light absorption at 1000 mμ as a typical band of Fe(2+) ions and that at 380mμ of Fe(3+) ions was expressed as E(1000)/E(380), which was examined for glass compositions as well as various carbon amount added to glass batches. The ratio decreases as the carbon amount increases and increases with decreasing content of Na(2)O or CaO. These changes of spectrophotometric properties of glasses were discussed from the view point of state of the the iron ions. Besides, some results on oxidized glasses were also added.

Abstract In this paper, the optimal toll-rate and scale of urban expressway is discussed economically. The criterion used is the total surplus of expressway, which is defined as the sum of consumer's surplus of expressway users and producer's surplus on the side of expressway administrator. The total surplus is equivalent to the difference of the value of total saved travel times of expressway users and the total cost required to construct and administrate expressway systems. The flow-dependent travel times is assumed, and traffic demand is induced through equilibrium method. On the other hand, for the management of expressway to be capable, the accounting condition that the fare revenue must repay the total cost should be satisfied. Under this accounting condition, the optimal rate and scale which maximize the total surplus are requested, and their properties are examined. The analysis is practiced for both caces of flowindependent cost function and flow-dependent cost function. One remarkable result is that the maximum feasible scale under the accounting condition does not privide a maximum for total surplus.

Abstract In stereo matching of images, sample cross-covariances are used commonly as a criterion for deciding whether matched points are truly conjugate. Hereupon window width is a serious parameters to dominate matching stability. This paper argues about relation of matching stability with window width in terms of statistical behavior of sample covariances. For simple circumstances of analysis auto-covariances of a single image are considered instead of cross-covariances of stereo ones. First the mean and variance of sample auto-covariances are derived with parameters, window width and positional lag. Secondly they are evaluated from the correlation function estimated on an aerial image under the assumption of ergodicity to observe how they vary according as two parameters vary. From this result a variation factor is proved usefull to estimate appropriate window width.

Abstract The aim of this paper is to present some remarks on the arrangement of finte element mesh modeling of the area adjacent to the crack-tip which locates in two-dimensional area. Since the stress distribution near crack-tip is singular, the arrangement of mesh pattern and the selection of mesh type in the crack area govern the accuracy of the solution. This paper gives some informations on the arrangement of finite elements in the area which are obtained through numerous number of numerical experiments. And the effectivity of Zooming Technique for stress analysis is clarified through the experiments.

Abstract The glass forming limit by substitution of CdS for CdO in a CdO-B(2)0(3) glass was determined by chemical analysis. When x CdS-(60-x)CdO-40B(2)0(3) nominal mixtures in weight ratio were heated at 1100°C in flowing nitrogen gas for 1/2 hour, about 40~50% of mixed CdS and 10-15% of the mixed CdS were evaporated. The limit of nominal composition for glass forming was 10CdS-50CdO-40B(2)0(3) and the corresponding virtual composition after the above heat treatment was found to be 4.9CdS-46.4CdO-48.7B(2)O(3). Further addition of CdS made the melt devitrefied with CdS precipitation. D.C. conductivity measurements revealed that the current density was not linear with respect to the applied voltage, but the resistivity ranged around 10(12)Ω・cm for 4.1CdS-48.8CdO-47.1B(2)O(3) (virtual composition) glass and around 10(11.5)Ω·cm for 4.9CdS-46.4CdO-48.7B(2)O(3) glass. These sulphur containing glasses did not show photoconduction, although CdS-precipitated materials showed slight photoconductivity when disposed in ultra violet radiation. Apparent dielectric constant and tan 8 were also measured as a function of frequency, revealing a moderate dispersion in the CdS-precipitated glasses.

Abstract Electromagnetic impulse noise which is harmful to signal measurement or transmission of information, is smoothed by the orthogonal transform processor. The idealized impulse noise with infinitesimal duration and Gaussianly-distributed amplitude shows the same spectral characteristics as white Gaussian noise. Optimal correlation detector against such noise is easily realized by the orthogonal transform processor. Photoelectric pulse signals disturbed by the impulse noise from the power supply can be well detected through the Walsh waveform analyzer. Also, orthogonally-synthesized signals can be demodulated with firmly-suppressed impulse noise, where both the statistical and instantaneous SNRs are superior to those in the usual PCM transmission system.

Abstract Bubble columns are extensively used in the chemical industry. This paper evaluates the present state of the art on the size of bubbles from a sieve plate and gas holdup, mainly on the basis of the results of the authors, including previous ones. The size of bubbles formed from a sieve plate has an insignificant effect of chamber volume, and gas holdup shows some different behavior, depending on the hole diameter to liquid depth.

Abstract A new method based on the principle of flow injection analysis is presented for the semiautomated determination of chemical oxygen demand (COD) in environmental water samples. The method is rapid and continuous, and suitable for the monitoring of COD in wastewaters. The apparatus used was simply constructed by parts commercially available for high performance liquid chromatography. Teflon tubing heated with a boiling water was used as a reactor and simultaneously used for mixing coils and transmission lines. The operating conditions were examined to apply the determination of COD in wastewaters by using glucose as a standard COD substance. The procedures recommended are as follows: Both 4.9x10(-4) M potassium permanganate and 6.7 % sulfuric acid solutions are individually pumped, 20 μl of a sample solution is injected into the flow of the sulfuric acid solution, and then mixed with a mixing joint. The mixed solution is transported to a flow cell situated in a spectrophotometer fixed at a wavelength of 525 nm, and decrements of absorbance are recorded. The peaks were reproducibly obtained at a concentration range of 10 - 200 mg-COD 1(-1). Chloride up to 1000 mg 1(-1) was not interfered at all. Various wastewater samples were analyzed by the proposed method at a sampling rate of 30 samples per hour, and the apparent COD values obtained were compared with the manual COD ones obtained by JIS method.

Abstract A series of small-angle X-ray scattering photographs with monochromated and point focussed copper Ka(1) radiation was taken of a single crystal of an Al-4mass % Cu alloy at the as-quenched state from 823K and at successive stages of ageing at 313K. The crystal was so oriented that the incident direction of the radiation was along [001] axis, and was cooled with liquid nitrogen during the exposure. The pattern of the as-quenched state was homogeneous, but each of the patterns of the aged states consisted of streaks along [100] and [010] directions and a quasi-ring around the trace of the incident beam on the film (even at the shortest ageing time. l6sec). The most intense regions were found in [100], [010] , [100] and [010] directions on the ring. With the progress of the ageing the streaks and the ring became more intense and narrower. The results can be interpreted from points of view of the formation of the GP zones parallel to {100} planes ab initio, the effect of the inter-particle interference on scattering of X-rays, and the growth of the GP zones with the ageing. Guinier radius of the GP zones at each stage can be obtained from intensity change along [110], and the values are reasonably consistent with those obtained from the cross section of the streak. The presence of multi-layer zones, besides the one-layer ones, is suggested from the humps found on several intensity curves along [100] at later stages.
