The purpose of this study is to design noise reduction devices for leading-edge slat which called as a cove filler (SCF), from both aerodynamic and acoustic points view. From the previous studies, SCF seems have an effect on reducing broadband by forming substantially continuous shape instead cusp configuration. However, there are some studies indicate decrease performance when attached. Since primary feature high-lift-devices increase performance, maximum lift coefficient or stall angle...

精米の袋に品種,産地,生産年を表示することが義務づけられたため,客観的方法によって表示の正否を確かめるための技術開発が必要とされている.そこで,農業試験場の基準品種を試料とし, PCR法による実験に供試した.有望なRAPDプライマーを用いて品種識別バンドを選定し,アガロースゲルから切り出したDNAを大腸菌に組み込んで増幅し,その塩基配列を決定した.その配列のRAPDプライマー部分から延長して15~29量体のフォワードプライマーおよびリバースプライマーを設計した.こうして作成したSTS化プライマーを組み合わせることにより,「コシヒカリ」を他の品種と識別するためのポジティブプライマーセットおよびネガティブプライマーセットを開発した.これらのセットを用いるPCRにより,全国の33産地の「コシヒカリ」では同一のDNAパターンが得られ,「コシヒカリ」と他の49品種との識別が可能であることが明らかとなった.このプライマーセットの開発により, 1粒の米試料による「コシヒカリ」の同定が可能であるばかりでなく,他品種米の混入も簡易かつ明瞭に検出することが可能となった.
