Study on the measurement system to evaluate the electrode temperature in super-high-pressure mercury lamps
publisherThoriated tungsten (ThO2-W) is popularly used for the electrodes in super-high pressure mercury lamps (SHPs) used in semi-conductor processing. However, ThO2-W is not desirable for the global environment because of its radioactivity. Therefore it would be very valuable to make a new non-radioactive material to replace ThO2-W as the electrode, and many research efforts have been attempted for this purpose. However, the materials which were researched till now could not improve upon ThO2-W lifetime when they were used as the electrode in the lamps. To evaluate the lamp life the electrode temperature and its distribution are very important, because the lamp life has the close relations with them. However to measure the electrode temperature of a SHP is very difficult because of its plasma radiation. We report the new optical method to evaluate the tungsten electrode temperature of SHPdepartmental bulletin pape
Construction of an Astronomical Observatory and Educational Activities of Astronomy
publisherIn the International Year of Astronomy 2009, we built an astronomical observatory and started astronomy education. We have already held eleven sessions of open lectures entitled "Astronomical Observation Meeting - You are a Future Galileo, too! - " for elementary and junior high school students. An "Internet Astronomical Observatory" is equipment that a user can operate remotely in real time using an Internet web browser. We have constructed the "Tsuyama Internet Astronomical Observatory", which is equipped with a 35cm diameter Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and a cooling CCD camera.departmental bulletin pape
Remarks for a classification of ideals with fixed codimension in the local rings for irreducible curve singularities
publisherWe discuss a classification problem of ideals by codimension in case the ring is the local ring for irreducible curve singularity. Our aim is to intoroduce an effective method for computing order sets for fixed codemension. The order sets admit us to decomposse the set of all ideals with given codimension into some families. We determine the normal forms of such families for the A2d singularity.departmental bulletin pape
Considerations of Flow Characteristic relative to Simple Flagella-Shaped Actuator
publisherIn recent years, bio-mimetic fields are attended to various field scientists from the usefulness. The purpose of this study is considering a flow characteristic producing from regular vibrating motions of a flagella model. It is showed that flows to be produced almost don’t depend on vibrating frequency, however, depend on inclination of flagella tipdepartmental bulletin pape
Interdisziplinäre Forschung über Philosophie und Architektur-›Wohnen‹ in Heideggers Topologie und der modernen Architektur-
publisherWir beabsichtigen in dieser Abhandlung, über Philosophie und Architektur im interdisziplinären Kontext zu diskutieren, indem wir sie an einer geistesgeschichtlichen Situation am Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts erklären. In diesem Zusammenhang stellen wir Betrachtungen insbesondere über Heideggers Topologie und die moderne Architektur an. Dabei handelt es sich darum, das Wohnen erst lernen zu müssen.departmental bulletin pape
Diesel Exhaust Heat Recovery by Thermoelectric Power Generation
publisherDiesel engines have higher thermal efficiency compared to other heat engines, so that they have been
widely used for power sources such as automobiles and ships. Their thermal efficiencies are around 30-40 %,
which indicates that the rest of the fuel energy supplied to the engine is consumed as heat losses to the exhaust
gas and others. Therefore, in addition to the improvement of thermal efficiency, the recovery of the energy
wasted as these losses is also important from the standpoint of effective energy utilization. In this study,
thermoelectric power generation tests were attempted at different engine conditions in order to clarify the
availability of thermal energy included in the diesel engine exhaust gas. As a result, it was experimentally
demonstrated that thermoelectric power generation is a practical method to convert the engine exhaust heat into
electric energy. And a couple of concerns to resolve before practical applications are also mentioned.departmental bulletin pape
Usability Evaluation of Website Using Web User Interface Criterion
publisherVarious people deal with websites as their users or designers. Therefore, it is necessary to define general usability, and to design websites according to general usability. We checked the website of Tsuyama city from the viewpoint of grammar, reading out and appearance using the general usability criterion. Then we made a check list about Web usability with suggestions to problems based on the result from this study. By referring this check lists, website designers can find potential problems in their own websites and know how to improve them.departmental bulletin pape
