| Author | Ushikawa, Nozomi| Iwata, Toru| Ohtaki, Eiji| |
| Abstract | Standard deviations for vertical wind velocity and scalar quantities, such as carbon dioxide,c, and water vapor,q, were analyzed on the basis of Monin-Obukhov similarity theory in the atmospheric surface layer. The correlation coefficient between scalar quantities c and q ,|R(cq)|, was derived from the similarity functions and can be expressed as the ratio of B(q)/B(c)(B(q)≤B(c)), where parameter B is the value of the normalized standard deviation of carbon dioxide and water vapor at neutral conditions. |

| Author | Hirano, Emi| Morimoto, Yuji| Miura, Takeshi| |
| Abstract | It is important to clarify how the soil moisture changes by irrigation and how moisture is consumed by absorption of root, to plan irrigation appropriately in upland field. And, it is thought that clarifying the growth of the root can be important information in the water management, because the amount and the pattern of root water uptake change depending on the growth stage. However, there are not too much a lot of researches that measure the root, in addition, the example intended for crops of 'Gourd family (scientific name:Cucurbitaceae)' is not found. Therefore, for oriental pickling melon, it measured how for the root system to grow up as crop grew every three weeks. The results of this study may be summarized as: 1) Root amount increased with the growth of crops, and the majority of the root existed to 20cm in depth. A lot of rootlets with the role of water uptake existed outside of from 10 to 20cm. 2) Root length has grown up in horizontal and vertical direction at a dash at the stage of growing initial. 3) It was able to be confirmed to the growth of the ground part and the root that the length and amount either also had implications. Moreover, root amount and plant caver ratio drew similar curve. |

| Title Alternative | CO(2) Fluxes Measured by Eddy Correlation and Aerodynamic Techniques |
| FullText URL | 009_069_073.pdf |
| Author | Inohara, Sachiko| Iwata, Toru| Ohtaki, Eiji| |
| Abstract | To elucidate the seasonal and inter-annual variation of CO(2) exchanges between the atmosphere and cultivated field in Japan, the CO(2) flux has been measured by the eddy correlation technique at the experimental farm of Agricultural Faculty, Okayama University since December in 1998. The CO(2) sensor, however, does not work under rainy conditions. The improved aerodynamic technique was developed and used to cover CO(2) flux data which were not collected. This technique gives reasonable CO(2) fluxes even in rainy days. The reliability of the technique was also confirmed by comparing CO(2) fluxes with those measured by the eddy correlation technique using data in fine weather conditions. |

| Author | Suito, Hiroshi| Nouka, Masakatsu| |
| Abstract | The purpose of this research is solving the flow in a lake which caused by a fan who rotates at the low speed set on the water surface for the purpose of water quality purification of a lake. Although it is shown clearly by various experiments that the water quality in a lake improved by operation of this kind of equipment, the mechanism of the flow was not fully understood. In this research simulation of the flow which was caused by this equipment was carried out numerically, and the aspect of the flow corresponding to various conditions or the form of a lake was investigated. |

| Abstract | Acclimation to orthophosphate (Pi) deprivation via highly coordinated Pi-starvation induced (PSI) classical mechanisms such as copious quantities of H(+) and carboxylates (OAs) exudation, remodeling and modification of root architecture by increasing structural and functional plasticity, enhanced uptake rate and increased synthesis of Pi transporters would reduce or eliminate our current overreliance on expensive, polluting, and nonrenewable Pi-fertilizers. These complicated but elegant morphological, physiological, biochemical and molecular adjustments of Pi-starved plants provide an excellent example of how the unique flexibility of plant metabolism and energy transduction helps them to cope in a typically stressful environment. Pi-starved roots possess enhanced H(+)-ATPase and PEPCase which could result in increasing H(+) efflux and OAs exudations in the root vicinity. This would lead to the rhizosphere acidification, which thereby contribute to the solublization and assimilation of mineral Pi from environment. To visualize the dissolution of sparingly soluble Ca-phosphate and rhizospheric pH changes (in situ), genetically diverse Brassica cultivars were grown on agar media. Newly formed Ca-phosphate was suspended in agar containing other essential nutriens. With NH(4)(+) applied as the N source, the precipitate dissolved in the root vicinity and this was ascribed to acidification. No dissolution was occurred with No(3)(-)-nutrition. In order to observe the pH changes at the media-root interface (rhizosphere), an image analysis was carried out after embedding the roots in agar containing bromocresol purple as pH indicator. Efficient cultivar 'Brown Raya' showed greater decrease in pH than P-inefficient 'B.S.A' in the culture media. Hydroponically grown cultivars were compared with respect to P-utilization efficiency (PUE), P-stress factor (PSF), and Ca- and P-uptake at P-starvation. PUE, and Ca- and P-uptake correlated significantly (P<0.01) with biomass accumulation, indicating that higher P-uptake of efficient cultivars was because of their higher Ca-uptake, which in turn was related to their better P-acquisition and PUE. Remodelling of root architecture of efficient cultivars helped the cultivars to establish a better rooting system, which provided basis for tolerance under P-starvation. |

| Abstract | There have been proposed so far many methods of statistical diagnostics in Cox regression for checking the goodness of the estimated model or checking the adequacy of the data. The former type contains the checking of the overall goodness of fit, the validity of the assumption of proportional hazards and the proper functional forms of the effects of covariates. While the latter type contains the checking whether there exist singly and/or jointly influential observations in the data set. In the present paper we study numerically the performances of various methods of diagnostics including our method of influence analysis for multiple-case diagnostics (Sung and Tanaka, 2003) by analyzing a real data set of lung cancer patients. |

| Abstract | Let A/R be a ring extension and P a subset of Hom(A(R),A(R)). In his paper [5], K. Kishimoto introduced the notion of a P-Galois extension and gave several basic properties of these extensions. The author showed that these extensions are closely related to Hopf Galois extensions and the structure of quadratic or cubic P-Galois extensions over a field were given in [9] and [10]. Recently,the author classify commutative quartic P-Galois extensions over a field of characteristic not 2 in [11]. Continuing [11], we treat commutative quartic P-Galois extensions over a field of characteristic 2. |

| Abstract | As a rule, ion uptake by plant cells and roots has features of saturation kinetics. This is in accordance with the assumption of control, as for example by the number of binding sites of ions (carriers, permeases), or the capacity of the proton efflux pumps, in the plasma membrane and tonoplast. Solute transport across membranes is carrier mediated transport. Protein macromolecules integrated into the membrane matrix seems to be the carriers. The carrier-mediated process is subject to kinetics assumig that the number of carriers (binding sites) in the membranes is limited. Kinetics of ion transport through a membrane is considered equivalent to relationship between an enzyme and its substrate. To obtain plants of different P status, two genetically diverse Brassica cultivars (P-tolerant 'Con-1' and P-sensitive 'Gold Rush') were grown for several weeks in nutrient solution culture media. P-uptake kinetics of the roots with intact plants in short-term experiments by monitoring P depletion in culture media revealed that P-tolerant 'Con-1' cultivar had favorable characteristics for P-uptake because of high I(max) or V(max) and low K(m) or 1/2 I(max) value than P-sensitive 'Gold Rush' cultivar. By plotting relative growth rate (RGR) and internal P-concentration (PNC) among P-tolerant (group I; Brown Raya, Con-1, Rainbow, Dunkled and Peela Raya) and P-sensitive (group II; Toria, Sultan Raya, B.S.A, Toria Selection and Gold Rush) cultivars revealed that group I cultivars showed large metabolic fraction and small structural fraction than group II cultivars which provided basis for P-stress tolerance. |

| Abstract | We have investigated the linear cryptanalysis of AES cipher in this article. As the previous encryption standard DES could be broken by the linear cryptanalysis, NIST decided a new encryption standard AES in 2000. We try to analyze one and two rounds AES cipher by the method of the linear cryptanalysis and learn the limits of this mehtod. AES cipher provides a conspicuous difficulty in breaking its keys because of small bias of its S-box. We report the experimental results of success rate and are led to conclusion that this method would not work well on more than 3 rounds to break keys. |

| Abstract | Small Area Estimation (SAE) is the process of using statistical models to link survey outcome variables to a set of predictor variables known for small domains, in order to predict domain-level estimates. The need for detailed statistics on small area is constantly increasing. Small area estimation is becoming important in survey sampling due to a growing demand for reliable small area statistics from both public and private sectors. Bayesian hierarchical models provide a convenient framework for disease mapping and geographical correlation studies. Computation may be carried out using the freely-available WinBUGS software. Two approaches prediction to estimate total patient in small area i will be presented. For the purpose of this paper, the small area estimation in this context use data of Indnesia's population based on the 2000 census for the population of Jakarta and data of patient diarrhea from District Health Service of Jakarta. We interest to predict total patient of diarrhea as variable of interest and data population as auxiliary data from unsample for each small area. |

| Abstract | Area mesh statistics is a kind of small area statistics. The area mesh data of Japan can be created in a lot of way and many of them can be downloaded, for example, from the land's value information service which is provided by Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport of Japan. We developed database of these area mesh data. By using mesh navigator software (Makita Naoki, 1997), which needs to run on ProAtlas2000 and Microsoft Access2000, we displayed the mesh data on the map. What visualized on the map is very convenient. For extending the advantages of area mesh data to spatial geographical statistics, we used PostgreSQL to develop a new database of mesh data. We also develop some programs in Delphi for the analysis of area mesh data, such as Histogram, Echelon analysis, and etc. |

| Abstract | The potential of a crop favorably respond to breeding/selection and bioengineering programs depends upon the nature and magnitude of genetic variability. For effective selection, information on nature and magnitude of variation in population, association of character with dry matter yield and among themselves and the extent of environmental influence on the expression of these characters are necessary. The estimates of genetic parameters help in understanding the role of various plant traits in establishing the growth behavior of cultivars under a given set of environmental conditions. Genetic analysis leads us to a clear understanding of different morphological, physiological and genetic characters and also the type and extent of their contribution to dry matter yield. Six Brassica cultivars were grown in a P-deficient sandy loam soil for 49 days after sowing. Significant variations were observed for all the characters in all the cultivars used in the experiment. All the characters showed high heritability coupled with high genetic advance. Heritability (h(2)) is an approximate measure of the expression of a character. The highest estimates of broad sense heritability (h(2)= 0.90) and relative expected genetic advance (85.72%) were noted for root dry matter (RDM), while the estimate of expected genetic advance at 10% selection intensity was quite high (ΔG = 85.30c㎡) for leaf area per plant. The estimates of coheritability were positive and relatively higher for rootshoot ratio (RSR) in combination with shoot dry matter (SDM) (coh(2) = 2.002) and phosphorus use efficiency (PUE) (coh(2) = 1.875), whereas coheritability estimates were negative between leaf area per plant and RSR (coh(2) = -0.2010) indicating lack of association between these traits. High heritability with high genetic advance was exhibited by all the studied plant traits of cultivars evidencing that the traits could be further improved through individual plant selection. The innate variations within the Brassica gene-pool impel to drive a concentrated effort to understand the basis of adaptability. Access to the relevant genetic traits and information will provide necessary tools to select the optimal combinations of alleles adapted to local and changing growing environments especially nutrient stress conditions such as phosphorus (P) starvation. |

| Abstract | Homo-and copolymers of poly(lactic acid) have gathered much attention because of their biodegradability and biocompatibility. They have numerous applications in the biomedical field due to their potential. In their polymers, we are interested in poly(lactic acid)-poly(ethylene glycol) block polymers. The amphiphilic triblock copolymers, poly(DL-lactic acid)-poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(DL-lactic acid)(PLEL), have known to be surface-active ability. Therefore, we have studied emulsification properties with the polymers. PLEL were prepared by ring-opening copolymerization of DL-lactide and poly(ethylene glycol) catalyzed by stannous 2-ethylhexanoate. We prepared ethyl acetate-water-PLEL emulsion and applied this emulsion to biodegradable polymer scaffolds. PLA scaffolds were prepared by an emulsion freeze-drying method. These scaffolds were made by varying water weight fraction. Their surface pore size became larger with increasing water weight fraction. |

| Abstract | Recently, thermo-responsive polymer gels have been studied in various research fields such as drug delivery system. One of represetative thermo-responsive polymer gels is poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) gel (PNIPAAm) that has a rapid and reversible volume phase transition. However, PNIPAAm is not biodegradable, resulting in limitation of its use in medical fields. Novel thermo-responsive polymer gel was prepared by closslinking of isopropylamine modified poly(succinimide) (IPA-PSI) (Poly[α,β -(DL-aspartate isopropyl amide)-co-(succinimide)]) with hexamethylenediamine. Because of peptide bonds in backbone, therefore, it is expected to possess biodegradability and biocompatibility. These gels changed their volume in response to change of environment such as temperature, pH and concentration of salt in water. Crosslinkage density and substitution degree of IPA-PSI affected volume phase transition bahavior of the gel. |

| Abstract | The pH values in the profiles of unburnt (agricultural land) soils were found to increase as a function of soil depth and burning (400 to 1000℃) of the soils increased average pH by 8%. The average sand content of the burnt (soil around brick kilns) soil profiles was increased by 245%, while 39 and 36% decreased the silt and clay contents. Soil organic carbon (Corg) in the unburnt soils (0-20 cm) at different agro-ecological zones in the eastern region of Bangladesh ranged from 0.8 and 1.4%, whereas the content of microbial biomass carbon (Cmic) in the studied unburnt soils ranged between 5 and 7% of the total Corg, suggesting that the microbial biomass releasing considerable amounts of carbon in soil while burning of the soils drastically reduced this contribution to about 1%. The values of soil Cmic in the unburnt soils were approximately 2 to 6 times higher in the topsoils than the subsoils (20-60 cm). Variable rainfall, temperature and soil fertility had an overriding influence, which was reflected by the average minimum (276 μg g(-1)) and maximum (439) amounts of soil Cmic in Moulvibazar and Cox' Bazar sites. The Cmic decreased upon soil burning by 92% of its original average value (346 μg g(-1)) in the soil profile of up to 100 cm. Burning of topsoils strikingly increased the Corg/Cmic ratio by about 6 to 9 times, while reduced the C/N ratio by about 1.5 to 2.5 times. The average loss of Corg, available and total N due to burning of the soils were 66, 72 and 44% (increase over average content of unburnt soil: IOAC), respectively, which suggests that the burning of the soils offset the essential roles of soil microorganisms, reduced soil fertility and soil microbial contribution. |

| Abstract | Liquid phase oxidation of benzene to phenol was carried out with O(2) using carbon-based Fe-Pd and Cu-Pd catalysts at 40℃. The carbon-based Fe-Pd and Cu-Pd catalyst were prepared by modified carbothermal reduction of metal ion exchange method using cation exchange resin as a source of carbon. Fe/carbon, Cu/carbon and Pd/carbon were not effective for the oxidation of benzene to phenol with O(2) when H(2) was used as a catalyst reducing agent, however both Fe/carbon and Cu/carbon catalysts revealed activities when ascorbic acid was used as a reducing agent. Bimetallic catalysts such as Fe-Pd/carbon and Cu-Pd/carbon showed much higher activity for phenol production than the monometallic catalysts even when H(2) was used a reducing agent. Catalytic activity of Fe-Pd catalyst was much (ca. 2.5 times) higher than the Cu-Pd/catalyst. A physical mixture of the single component catalysts such as Fe and Pd or Cu and Pd were not effective in the oxidation of benzene to phenol, suggesting that an intimate contact between Fe or Cu species with Pd species is necessary to formulate an active catalyst. |
