| Abstract | Inclusion of aggregates leads to a reduction in drying shrinkage of cement paste. This is due to the elastic deformation of the aggregates that partly restrains the shrinkage deformation of cement paste. Hence, concrete with higher aggregate content exhibits smaller shrinkage. In addition, concrete with aggregates of higher modulus of elasticity or of rougher surfaces is more resistant to shrinkage process. In this paper the effects of the type of coarse aggregate on the shrinkage of normal and high-strength concretes are investigated. Two different types of crushed stone were used as coarse aggregates to produce the concrete mixtures used in this study. For each coarse aggregate type, two normal-strength concrete (NSC) mixtures and two high-strength concrete (HSC) mixtures were prepared. The 28-day compressive strength values of NSC mixtures were about 35 and 50 MPa, while those of HSC mixtures were 70 and 100 MPa, respectively. All shrinkage specimens were cured in water for 14 days after casting, then exposed to drying under the conditions of constant temperature (20℃) and relative humidity (60%). It has been shown that the type of the coarse aggregate influences shrinkage behaviour of both normal and high-strength concretes. |

| Abstract | This study was performed to clarify which factors affected damage to take-ike (small embankment dams for irrigation in Japanese) of Hokudan Town on Awaji Island in western Japan due to Hyogoken-Nambu earthquake. Multivariate and ordinary statistical analysis were carried out using documentary data (181 damaged and 328 undamaged dams), and ordinary one was done for the results investigated in situ. The model for the multivariate analysis was created with 13 items and 94 categories for 4 groups (Location, Geology Structure, and History of Dam). As a result, the factors causing to damage for dam are (1) the nearest fault (Nojima, Mizukoshi and D2), (2) embankment volume (the larger the more), (3) angle of crest axis to epicenter (diagonal and normal), (4) distance to the nearest fault (less than 500 m), (5) distance to the epicenter (8 to 14 km which almost agree to the location of seismic intensity 7 JMA), (6) play view of dam axis (3 or 4 axes), (7) angle of crest axis to nearest fault (diagonal and normal), (8) elevation of dam site (over 100 m), (9) surface geology of dam site (non-cohesive soil), (10) era of construction (prior to 1891), and (11) soil properties of embankment (constructed of sand, smaller penetration resistance). |

| Abstract | In functional principal component analysis (PCA), we treat the data that consist of functions not of vectors (Ramsay and Silverman, 1997). It is an attractive methodology, because we often meet the cases where we wish to apply PCA to such data. But, to make this method widely useful, it is desirable to study advantages and disadvantages in actual applications. As alternatives to functional PCA, we may consider multivariate PCA applied to 1) original observation data, 2) sampled functional data with appropriate intervals, and 3) coefficients of basis function expansion. Theoretical and numerical comparison is made among ordinary functional PCA, penalized functional PCA and the above three multivariate PCA. |

| Abstract | The main problems caused by eutrophication result from the increase of phytoplankton. Therefore, controlling the increase of phytoplankton is the most important. In this study, we discuss the influence of current velocity on the growth of phytoplankton based on the field experiments and laboratory experiments. The laboratory experiments for the influence of current velocity on the growth have been conducted using circular channels, and the field experiments were conducted using a shallow pond. The results of the experiments show current velocity inhibits the growth of phytoplankton. |

| Abstract | The global positioning system is utilized in lake flow analysis to facilitate experimental evaluation for numerical results of a lake flow simulation. In our lake flow experiment a float travels on the lake surface receiving the fluid resistance due to lake flow, while a global positioning system receiver keeps track of its position. A momentum equation is derived when the product of the float mass and its acceleration is set equal to the driving force. The temporal change in the position of the float can be simulated when numerical solutions of lake flow equations are given. A comparison of numerical results and experimental data leads to an evaluation of the numerical simulation of lake flow. |

| Abstract | Relationship has been discussed by Tanaka and Zhang(1999) between the sensitivity analyses based on influence functions and on Cook's local influence, and it has been shown that equivalent results are obtained under general conditions by these analyses in statistical modeling without/with equality constraints. However, a condition implicitly assumed in the proof in Tanaka and Zhang(1999) in the case with equality constraints does not necessarily hold. The present paper gives a complete proof without assuming the condition. Also a formula for the normal curvature is derived for the convenience of practical computation. |

| Abstract | Analysis of covariance selection models is a useful multivariate method to analyze the covariance structure of a multivariate normal distribution. It is used to reveal cause-and-effect relationships. In the present paper we review the theory and study numerically how the stepwise procedure of covariance selection works in actual data analysis. Then we try to develop a method of influence analysis in covariance selection, and show a numerical example to illustrate the usefulness of the method of influence analysis. |

| Abstract | Dynamics of infectious disease in vivo is described by coupled differential equations. Stability analysis of the complicated systems is difficult without computer calculation, while stability analysis is, in general, important to investigate qualitative behaviour of models. Liu analyzes stability of systems describing HIV dynamics in vivo with a symbolic calculation software. The same method is used for stability analysis of a mathematical model of malaria. |

| Abstract | Many kinds of mite was caused by allergy and sick house syndrome, so it has become one of the social problems. Farnesyl acetone is one of the most potent anti-mite agent. However the vapor pressure of farnesyl acetone is high even at room temperature. This indicates the anti-mite effect has not been sustained even though the agent has strong anti-mite effect. In this study, we attempted to prepare polylactide microcapsule with farnesyl acetone for the purpose of sustainable dosage form of anti-mite agent. Microcapsule was prepared by solvent evaporation, which was a method of microencapsulation. The effects of preparation conditions on the enclosing efficiency, the release of microcapsule and anti-mite effect of microcapsule were investigated. |

| Abstract | Polymeric microcapsules encapsulating iron phthalocyanine (Fe-Pc) and zinc phthalocyanine (Zn-Pc) were successfully prepared in this study. Absorption spectra of polymeric microcapsules encapsulating metal phthalocyanines were measured in visible light range. It was expected from the results that the polymeric microcapsules encapsulating metal phthalocyanines showed high photocatalytic activity upon irradiation with visible light such as sunlight. The catalytic and phtocatalytic activities of encapsulated Fe-Pc and Zn-Pc were investigated in the decomposition of methylene blue in water. The encapsulatedd Fe-Pc with H(2)O(2) exhibited a high catalytic activity. Methlene blue was efficiently decomposed by interaction of Fe-Pc with H(2)O(2). |

| Abstract | We have constructed a stochastic transmission model for lymphatic filariasis caused by Wuchereria bancrofti, and have analyzed its prevalence using computer simulations. In Pondicherry, India, where Wuchereria bancrofti has been spreading, the Vector Control Research Centre has carried out an integrated vector control strategy against malaria and filariasis for five years (1981~1985) with good results reported. Our study was aimed at evaluating the effect of vector control in the context of Pondicherry, and in particular the continuous effect for the post-control period. In this paper, we have used the LYMFASIM model proposed by Plaisier et al., the carrying capacity model by Rochet and the population dynamics model by us. In the LYMFASIM model and the carrying capacity model, we have modified the quantities of parameters in order to fit the models to the parasitological, entomological and epidemiological data in Pondicherry. We have combined the improved LYMFASIM model with the other models. Through simulations of our combinated model, we have compared the prevalence rate in the human population as well as the mean number of L3-larvae in the mosquito population, with and without vector control. As a result, the simulations show that the prevalence rate would be restrained for a long time even if only a small continuous effect of the vector control remains in the post-control period. However, the mean number of L3-larvae would recovered within a short time comparatively. This is because of the differences in life spans between human and mosquito as well as the incubation periods between the adult worm in the human host and L3-larvae in the mosquito vector. |

| Abstract | Nanoporous TiO(2) were synthesized via hydrolysis of titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) in HCl acidic conditions using sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) as a templating agent. The order of the nanostructure of samples before calcination was improved with increasing the SDS/TTIP molar ratio. The calcined samples presented uniform mesopore structure with the average diameter of 4-5 nm and considerably large surface areas over 200m(2)/g, although the periodicity of the nanostructure was exceedingly reduced by the removal of the template. The prepared TiO(2) exhibited exceedingly higher activities on the catalytic oxidation of benzene compared to the commercial TiO(2), probably due to the difference of their pore suructures. |

| Abstract | In our study, we have investigated the influence of the intermediate host population density on the prevalence of Echinococcus multilocularis in the definitive host using a mathematical model of transmission. For the vole population (intermediate host) in Hokkaido, a model of population dynamics has been constructed in this paper which follows the seasonal and annual fluctuations. In the northeastern area, the vole density appears to fluctuate periodically with a 4 year cycle. The prevalence of Echinococcus multilocularis in the fox population (definitive host) can be affected by the density of vole through the fox ingesting infectious voles. Therefore we have prepared a food habit function of foxes and the logistic distribution has been proposed. The simulations which have been carried out using the mathematical model for transmission of Echinococcus multilocularis together with the vole dynamics have indicated that the prevalence in foxes is correlated and synchronized with the population dynamics of vole. In addition they have also made us recognize that it is necessary to introduce a suitable food habit function into the transmission model. |

| Abstract | Spatial variability of surface soil moisture, bulk density, satureted hydraulic conductivity, and penetration resistance (cone index) in a sloping grassland field were surveyed. The typical results were as follows: (1) The surface soil moisture and the bulk density were normally distributed at a significant level of 0.05. (2) The surface soil moistures were higher at low area than in high and slope area. The coefficients of variation were larger at slope area. (3) The coefficients of variation for bulk density were larger at slope area than in low area. (4) The distribution of saturated hydraulic conductivity can be considered to be log-normally distributed. (5) The cone index showed the normal distribution. |
