Here, the block is defined to be an area surrounded by some major streets and is feeded by a minor street network. The accidents under study are those which occur in the whole minor street network. They are grouped into three kinds; pedestrian, vehicle and the gross accidents. And each is classified to three types according to the place where the accident occurs. At the beginning 22 variables are assumed to state a certain relationship of some states of the block with the occurrences of accidents and 12 variables are found significant finally through factor analysis. Further examination has reached several key variables that migth have something significant to cause traffic accidents in the block. The key ones are the number of lanes of street and the number of legs of intersection, especially nearly 2 lanes street and 3-leg intersection, respectively. The case study was carried out on 26 blocks sampled from Osaka City. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=MyojinSyo kn-aut-sei=Myojin kn-aut-mei=Syo aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=TatsutaAkira kn-aut-sei=Tatsuta kn-aut-mei=Akira aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=TakaYasuhisa kn-aut-sei=Taka kn-aut-mei=Yasuhisa aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=AsaiKazuhiko kn-aut-sei=Asai kn-aut-mei=Kazuhiko aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Dept. of Civil Eng., School of Eng., Okayama Univ. affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Dept. of Transpn.

Firstly the solution for a confined aquifer is shown. In this case,three methods of analyzing field data with partially penetrating well are given, that is, "Log-Log Method, Log-Log Distance Drawdown Method and Jacob's Method Ajusted for Partial Penetration". By using these methods the hydraulic conductivities and the specific storage of the aquifer may be determined. Secondly the solution for an,unconfined aquifer is shown. In this case, also two methods of analyzing field data with partially penetrating well are given. By using these methods, the anisotropic permeability and the storage coefficient (effective porosity) of the aquifer may be determined. Moreover in each case, the effects of partial penetration are discussed and the limits of adapting the Theis' and Jacob's methods are setted. From these analytic results, some cosiderations are added to determine the anisotropy of permeability and to evaluate the storage coefficient. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=KonoIichiro kn-aut-sei=Kono kn-aut-mei=Iichiro aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=NishigakiMakoto kn-aut-sei=Nishigaki kn-aut-mei=Makoto aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Depertment of Civil Engineering affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Depertment of Civil Engineering END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=12 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=89 end-page=96 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1978 dt-pub=19780225 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Cluster Expansion for Two-Dimensional Electron Liquids en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=The pair correlation function and the correlation energy density of two-dimensional electron liquids are calculated on the basis of the Salpeter's Debye-chain type expansion. When the two-dimensional plasma parameter (?=2ƒÎne4T-2) is small, the expansion to the first order gives the correlation energy to the order of (?21n?). It is shown that experimental results in the domain (?<0.5) can be reproduced by taking into account the first and the second order terms in this expansion. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=TotsujiHiroo kn-aut-sei=Totsuji kn-aut-mei=Hiroo aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Electronics END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=12 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=77 end-page=88 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1978 dt-pub=19780225 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=On the Apparent Activation Energy for Clustering in Dilute Al-Zn Alloys en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=The clustering phenomenon was observed when dilute Al-Zn alloys were annealed at temperatures higher than the solvus of the G.P.zones. In this report the apparent activation energy for clustering is estimated and compared with the experimental results. The estimated value of the apparent activation energy for clustering in several Al-Zn alloys comes to 0.51 eV, which is larger than the effective migration energy 0.43 eV of Zn atoms in Al-Zn alloys. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=OhtaMutsuo en-aut-sei=Ohta en-aut-mei=Mutsuo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=KobayashiToshinori en-aut-sei=Kobayashi en-aut-mei=Toshinori kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=SakakibaraAkira en-aut-sei=Sakakibara en-aut-mei=Akira kn-aut-name=匴¸ kn-aut-sei=匴 kn-aut-mei=¸ aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Industrial Science affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Industrial Science affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Industrial Science END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=12 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=59 end-page=75 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1978 dt-pub=19780225 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Fluctuation of the Solute Concentration in Al Rich Al-Zn Alloys en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Several Al-Zn alloys containing 0.041-4.4 at % Zn were studied by means of measurements of electrical resistivity. The results obtained are as follows : (1) The electrical resistivity increases when the specimen is annealed at temperatures higher than the solvus temperature of the G.P. zones. The increase of the resistivity is due to the formation of fluctuation. (2) The electrical resistivity of the specimen containing fluctuation is dependent upon annealing temperature only and independent of quenching temperature. (3) The fluctuation is formed in very dilute alloys as 0.041 at % Zn at temperatures higher than the solvus temperature of the G.P. zones. (4) The formation energy of vacancy and the migration energy of the Zn atom in the alloys determined by the formation process of fluctuation are in good agreement with those by the formation process of G.P. zones. (5) In spite of the result (4), it seems that the fluctuation is not the same as the small G.P. zones which are observed in the early stage of aging. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=OhtaMutsuo en-aut-sei=Ohta en-aut-mei=Mutsuo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=KanadaniTeruto en-aut-sei=Kanadani en-aut-mei=Teruto kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=SakakibaraAkira en-aut-sei=Sakakibara en-aut-mei=Akira kn-aut-name=匴¸ kn-aut-sei=匴 kn-aut-mei=¸ aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Industrial Science. affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Industrial Science affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Industrial Science.

A high power inverter circuit using power transistors are finding a good number of applications in induction heating and melting. Turn off time of power transistors occupies 5-lOƒÊs of switching characteristics. A driving method to give base inputs for a half period is widely used for a inverter circuit. But this method has the following defects, the short-circuit current flows through two transistors because the other pair transistors turn on before one pair transistors turn off. So the switching loss is increased, the maximum output and the efficiency are decreased. In this paper, a driving method to give base inputs for the less period as compared with a half period is discussed. Using this method, the foregoing defects is lost and the driving frequency is able to become higher. In addition, it become clear that the square waveform output is given using this method in the case of R-L load. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=FujitsukaTakeshi kn-aut-sei=Fujitsuka kn-aut-mei=Takeshi aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=AgusaToru kn-aut-sei=Agusa kn-aut-mei=Toru aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Electrical Engineering. affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Electrical Engineering.

The circuit is composed of a diode bridge and a power transistor in series with a load and capable of adjusting the switching frequency, fc, and the time ratio, T=ton/(ton+toff). The switching frequency and the time ratio of the AC chopper circuit depend on switching-times, that is, delay time, rise time, carrier storage time and fall time, especially in the high frequency. The upper limit of the switching frequency (about 150kHz) and the output characteristics of the circuit are investigated. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=HimeiToyoji kn-aut-sei=Himei kn-aut-mei=Toyoji aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=NakanishiSenichiro kn-aut-sei=Nakanishi kn-aut-mei=Senichiro aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=FunabikiShigeyuki kn-aut-sei=Funabiki kn-aut-mei=Shigeyuki aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Electrical Engineering. affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Electrical Engineering. affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Electrical Engineering.

The model is considered basing on crystallization behaviors from the glassy state of PET, and in particular including the evidence from the estimation of chain folding energy in this report. When PET is quenched from its melt into the glassy state, irregular folds with lower conformational energy remain in glassy structure and disturb the three dimensional arrangement of the chains connected with the folds. In conclusion, we suggested that the structure of glassy PET is not in amorphous state which is represented by the interpenetrating random coil model, but in frozen metastable state which can be approached from the chain folded structure of polymer crystals. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=YamashitaYuhiko kn-aut-sei=Yamashita kn-aut-mei=Yuhiko aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=MonobeKazuo kn-aut-sei=Monobe kn-aut-mei=Kazuo aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Industrial Chemistry affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Industrial Chemistry END
