Abstract On the flow injection analysis (FIA) of chemical oxygen demand (COD), silver salt was added as an oxidation catalyst for COD substances and a masking agent for halide to improve operating conditions of the FIA apparatus. Both of a proper concentration of potassium permanganate solution and 6.0 % sulfuric acid solution containing 0.1 % silver nitrate are individually pumped up with respective flow rates of 0.51 ml min(-l) and merged into a carrier stream. A 20 μ1 of sample solution is injected into the flow of sulfuric acid solution at just before the merging place. The sample mixed with the carrier solutions in a reaction manifol(polytetrafluoroethylene tubing: 0.5 mm i.d. x 30 m), is passed through a thermostated bath at 100 °c and led to a flow cell for the absorbance measurements at 525 nm. The absorbances are continuously recorded with time. The peaks in the recordings showed good reproducibility and the calibration obtained at a linear concentration range of 0 - 170 mg 1(-1) COD with glucose as standard. The detection limit and precision confirmed with this method were 5 mg 1(-1) and 0.8 %, respectively. Chloride ion up to 200 mg 1(-1) did not interfere without elimination of a silver chloride precipitate. By the present FIA method, several industrial waste water samples were analyzed at a sampling rate of about 40 samples per hour, and their apparent COD values were compared with those found by the manual JIS method. Both of the methods gave the similar results within an error range from -35 to +5 %.

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 In this paper the fill-in minimization problem which arises at the application of the sparse matrix method for a large sparse set of linear equations is discussed from the graph-theoretic viewpoint and also through the numerical experiments. Therefore, this investigation consists of two parts, and in the former part the author shows, at first, that the elimination process of a sparse matrix is equivalently replaced to the vertex eliminations for a graph obtained from the matrix, and by use of some concepts in the theory of graph he proves that the vertex elimination process for the minimum fill-in is equivalent to the vertex eliminations for vertices in each subgraph which is obtained by the appropriate dissection of whole graph, and that there are only two types of vertex eliminations through the process. This results in the proposal of a new model of the vertex elimination process. The latter part of this investigation is used for the verification of the results from the theoretic investigation. Through the numerical experiments he concludes that the new model of the vertex elimination process is valid, at least, for a graph like a regular finite element mesh. Furthermore, he shows that this model coincides with Nested Dissection Method which can give the minimum value of fill-in, at present.

Abstract The quantitative analysis of localized flux distributions in transformer cores has become easy through the progress of numerical field calculations. In this paper, the effects of core constructions, joint configurations, magnetizing characteristics of materials on the flux distributions are examined using newly developed techniques such as a gap element, an approximate method for solving three-dimensional magnetic fields, the time periodicity finite element method, an efficient technique for treating hysteresis characteristics and so on. A method for the optimum design of transformer cores is also discussed. Main results obtained can be summarized as follows: (a) The building factor of the core made of higely-oriented silicon steel is larger than that of the conventional core. (b) The iron losses at joints are much affected by overlap lengths, number of laminations per stagger layer and a small irregularity of the arrangement of sheets. (c) It is clarified that examinations of the optimum construction of core and the most desirable magnetic characteristics of core material are possible using the finite element method.

Abstract Two variational formulations for electromagnetic field and charged-particle stream configurations, in which both field and particles are described by the field-like variables suited for the problems of electrodynamics, are presented. One of them is directly obtained through slight modifications of Sturrock's original procedure but has a complicated form. The other is obtained through linearization of the preceding one and has a compact form. Both formulations lend themselves to straightforward derivation of the well-known energy-momentum tensor and/or its conservation law. Specifically the latter one is of academic interest because of its compact form. Moreover, as a proof of its practical usefulness the variational principle under the small-amplitude approximation is derived from it, which is known to provide a basis for the study of certain types of instability in plasmas. It is, however, hoped that it will find main applications in the electrodynamics problems concerned with large-amplitude behavior.

Abstract Within the framework of the hydrodynamic guidingcenter approximation, we have investigated such quantum effects as the diffraction correction and the symmetry effect on the classical version of the particle diffusion coefficient D(1) across a dc magnetic field through the temperature-dependent pseudo-potentials. Analytic results are explicitly given with recourse to the order-of-magnitude estimate of a set of parameters pertaining to a laser-driven plasma.

Abstract In this paper, a hardware design of digital systems with remote-diagnostic capability is presented. We consider a method for testing a system T(l) on a module basis with a remotely installed systems T(2). In the testing mode, we set up a system (T(l)-m,m') such that a module m of T(l) is replaced by an adapter A(1) connected to other adapter A(2) through a telephone line and the corresponding module m' of T(2) is connected to A(2). If the system (T(l)-m,m') can simulate T(1) in the absence of any faluts, then it can test m' under a self test program. The main subject of this paper is to study the conditions of the system to be testable in the above sense. At first, the remote diagnostic network based on the system in this paper, restrictions to the system configuration required to perform such a diagnosis and the operation of the diagnostic system are described. The second, the module structure to make above simulation possible is considered, representing the system configuration graphically. Finally, an example of the adapter is shown and the time consumed to diagnose is discussed. One of our results is that a sufficiently large class of synchronous digital systems with few minor conventions is testable.

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 The purposes of this paper are primarily to research on behavior of groundwater flow in saturated and unsaturated zone and to develop the most effective methods for solving groundwater flow problems related to civil engineering practice. The mathematical model provides a finite element solution to two- or threedimensional problems involving transient flow in the saturated and unsaturated domains of nonhomogeneous, anisotropic porous media. Before progressing into the various levels of applications the input data and boundary conditions are discussed and evaluated. To demonstrate the flexibility of the finite element approach and its capability in treating complex situations which are often encountered in the field, the groundwater flow through sand bank at flood water levels and the flow through aquifer due to an excavation were analyzed. As the results there were good qualitative agreements between the numerical results and the informations received.

Abstract An absorption spectrum of γ-0 band of nitric monoxide of very dilute density was taken. An experimental electronic device showed a distinguishing power of 0.01 ppm through 10 m optical pathlength. By the aid of a data processing based on a principle developed by the authors, this sensitivity does not suffer from coexisting sulfur dioxide, which shares the absorption band with the nitric monoxide.

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 A statistical analysis is applied to find what states of "block" are dangerous from view point of traffic accident. 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.

Abstract In this paper the minimum fill-in problem which arises at the application of the sparse matrix method for linear sparse systems is discussed from the graphtheoretic viewpoint and the author gives some results which can be directly introduced in the design of, so called, the optimal elimination ordering algorithm which gives the minimum fill-in(the number of zeros in coefficient matrix which become non-zero during the elimination process). Through this investigation only graphs are treated instead of the coefficient matrices for linear systems, and the elimination process for a matrix is equivalated to the vertx eliminations for the graph. Then, the results by the theoretical investigation are summarized as following: 1. Optimal elimination for each subgraph which is subdivided appropriately from whole graph leads to the global optimum. 2. In each subgraph there are only two kind of eliminations. Furthermore, some numerical experiments show the characteristics of the subset of vertices, which subdivide a subgraph from the residual.

Abstract In recent years, the development of a high power transistor element is proceeding. 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-lOμs 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.

Abstract A new waveform analyzer based on the Walsh transform is developed and is applied to a real-time filtering of fast pulse signals, and the linear filterings of time signals through the Walsh transform is discussed. The analyzer converts a solitary waveform during 16 μs into the 16 Walsh amplitude spectra in a hybrid manner: it has the sequency band from 62.5 kzps to 500 kzps. The spectra are parallelly held during 16 μs by analog integrators, while serially displayed by the CRT, and one of them is digitally read out. The spectra of the test waves are measured within the error rate of several per cent. The analyzer is applied to the correlative detection of the photoelectric pulse signals in a gasspectroscopic system using a pulse laser, and there composes the matched filter, which is useful for measuring the signals superposed by Gaussian noises with a high accuracy. For the real-time filtering of fast signals, the arithmetic convolution and the frequency power spectra are approximated using the complex Walsh transform. These approximations are of practical use in 16 or 32 dimensions. Then, the matched filters for pulse peaking are given by the approximate convolution and by the dyadic convolution.

Abstract In this paper some computational methods of traffic assignment are proposed. At first solutions of traffic assignment by the equal travel times principle used nonlinear programmings are showed. They are a method to approximate by a quadratic programming, a method to use the SUMT transformation, a method to apply Rosen's gradient projection method and a method to apply the conjugate gradient projection method. Through a computational example the efficiency of them are compared. To decide route flows uniquely in traffic assignment by the equal travel times principle, a method requesting route flows such that the joint probability is a maximum under supposed a priori probabilities is proposed. In case of a traffic assignment in a large scale road network, it is significant to improve the efficiency of route searches. For this purpose a technique of minimum time route search by division of a network is proposed.

Abstract In this paper we deal with traffic behaviours on a section of highway including an on-ramp by means of queuing theory. It is the purpose of this paper to provide the adequate capacity for highway on-ramps, which is useful for the design of on-ramps and the traffic control of highway. The highway on-ramp merging is modeled as a queue and the system is solved. Then the maximum possible flows for merging from an on-ramp is obtained in a form of an function of through lane flows. The traffic capacity of an on-ramp is estimated from the relation between the average waiting time before merging and the incoming flow from an on-ramp, which is induced by the theory of queues.

Abstract An optimal control is giyen for regulating power distribution in a nuclear power reactor which has cylindrical geometry. The space dependence of the system is described by expanding space depenident variables by Helmholtz modes. Results are obtained through the principle of optimality and are described by the Riccati-type algebraic equation that the optimal feedback coefficients should satisfy. Use of an integral equation as the system equation makes it possible to deal with actual controlling apparatuses: control rods or rod clusters.

Abstract In this paper, the steady state operations of the squarewave inverter circuit with a series R-L load are discussed. The circuit consists of transistors and feedback diodes. The basic equation is derived from its equivalent circuit. Solving the basic equation with steady state conditions, the instaneous value of the load current i is derived. The period t(2) for which the current flows from the supply to the load and the period t(l) for which the current feedbacks through diodes from the load to the supply are calculated from (i), and the ratio of t(l) to t(2) is illustrated using power factor of fundamental wave, pf, as a variable. The ratios of transistor mean current I(tr), diode mean current I(D), supply mean current I(s) to the load current I are illustrated using pf as a variable, too. In result, each current ratios to I is shown in simple expressione. The load current can be calculated simply using the coefficient reading off the figure. In addition, it becomes clear from the figure that the load current is scarcely influenced by the harmonic voltage in less than 0.8 of pf. The ratio t(2)/(t(1)+t(2)) calculated in squarewave voltage, shows the limit of pulse width control whose out put voltage is the squarewave.

Abstract This paper deals with the groundwater flow in a semi-confined aquifer causing the phenomena of consolidation and free surface lowering. Since the main effect of consolidation has taken place before noticeable lowering of the free surface, one may solve each phenomenon on its own. The real solution may be obtained by the principle of superposition. However, the solution for lowering the free surface is delayed due to the cosolidation by a certain timelapse, depending on the placecoordinates.
