Foster, McDaniel, Woodruff, and Stokes (1945) recently described the formation of conidia by molds of the genus Penicillium during submerged growth in liquid culture media. Controlling or associated factors for this phenomenon were described as the presence of a rather high calcium-ion concentration and, in general, the development of considerably less mycelium before spore formation than is fo...

We present a new derivation of the momentum exchange algorithm first introduced by Ladd [12], to compute the flow force and torque on a submerged body. The starting point of our derivation is to consider the time derivative of the total momentum of a virtual fluid system that replaces the submerged body in the real problem. The new derivation gives, in turn, some correction terms to the origina...

A practical Bridge Management System has been developed by the author, which is referred to as the Japanese Bridge Management System (J-BMS) for existing concrete bridges. This paper introduces a newly developed bridge management system for the prestressed concrete (PC) bridges (J-BMS PC version) which is integrated with the PC bridge rating expert system (PC-BREX). The proposed system is able ...

the permanent successor is present, eruption of a submerged tooth may be delayed or redirected from its normal path into a malaligned position. If the permanent successor is absent, loss of dental arch space is likely, and a midline discrepancy may occur because the mesiodistal width of the primary submerged tooth is greater than that of the contralateral premolar. Also, overeruption of the opp...

The growth curves of strains belonging to genera Candida and Saccharomyces grown through surfaced and submerged cultivation and their survival after lyophilization have been studied. Conclusions of practical importance have been drawn. It was found out that three-day-old cultures cultivated in solid medium possessed maximal resistance to freeze-drying. Nevertheless the cultures obtained by subm...

Tests of gravitational theory are at the forefront of current physics and astronomy research because Einstein’s theory of gravitation, General Relativity, is fundamentally inconsistent with the Standard Model of quantum mechanics. The study of gravity at small but measurable distances will probe new theories that are attempting to incorporate gravity into a consistent framework that includes al...

Today’s, the transportation facilities such as terminals, street, bridge, etc, represent the major investment in highway network. Every year tremendous resources should be invested to maintain these facilities. Among them, the Bridge Management System (B.M.S.) has been necessitated by large imbalance between extensive bridge repair and maintenance needs and limited available budget. So the main...

High speed trains are an indispensable part of rapid transportation systems in many countries. As the fastest means of transport on the ground, these trains are extremely sensitive to the terrain and track conditions. Geometrical irregularities and mechanical characteristics of the track, together with inconsistencies in the lane (including bridges that support the track) are considered importa...
