| Abstract | The rapid impact assessment (RIAM), which was developed in Denmark, is a new tool for the execution of environmental impact assessments. RIAM is quite flexible, transparent and leaves a permanent record, which can be independently checked, validated or updated. RIAM has successfully been used to prioritize water resources management problems in Ghana in the order of which problems call for the most urgent attention. The priority list was easily validated and accepted to be the true reflection of the situation at a national workshop in which experts and representatives from water agencies, donor agencies, university faculties and departments, research institutes, private institutions and organizations including Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) participated. The study has shown that RIAM, which can also be used in a developing country like Ghana, is a very useful tool in such prioritization process as has been applied in this exercise. |

| Abstract | Increasing human population, changing lifestyles and environmental considerations have resulted in increased utilization of groundwater resources worldwide. Thus, in turn, has led to the decline of groundwater levels in some countries and Ghana is no exception to this problem. To augment the availability of groundwater resources for various uses, numerous techniques have been developed in many part of the world, one of which is the construction of underground dams. The successful construction and utilization of underground dams, however, depends very much on the physical and hydrogeological conditions at the dam sites. Ghana is underlain by Precambrian crystalline igneous and metamorphic rocks ; and Paleozoic consolidated sedimentary formations. There are further subdivided and described locally as the Birimian, Dahomeyan, Buem, Togo Series, Tarkwaian, Granites, Voltain, Coastal Block Fault, Coastal Plain and Quaternary Alluvium. The review of these and the pre-requisite conditions necessary for the construction of underground dams indicate that underground dams could be constructed and utilized in some parts of Ghana, especially where the overburden is shallow, in the Dahomeyan granites and in the recent formations consisting of alluvial and coastal sands and gravels. This paper is part of a continuing research programme being carried out by the authors. |

| Abstract | The objective of this paper is to delineate flood prone areas and estimate damage in Greater Dhaka during the 1998 catastrophic flood using an integrated approach of GIS and remote sensing. Time series RADARSAT SAR data is acquired and used to demarcate flood boundaries for the 1998 flood event. This was accomplished by thresholding linear SAR imageries. Flood estimation demonstrated that flood areas steadily increased from early July 1998 and peaked on 25 August 1998 inundating 53% lands due to heavy monsoonal downpour and discharge from upstream points. Different thematic layers were combined with a derived flood map in order to assess flood damage for the same event. Flood damage analysis revealed that substantial damage has occurred in Greater Dhaka during the 1998 flood. |

| Abstract | China has achieved a remarkable economic growth in the past two decades. However, the rapid economic development has led to regional disparities between the advanced coastal regions and the other regions. Regional development planning in China has sought to achieve the redress of regional disparities as well as a high economic growth. This paper aims to examine the role of core cities in the development of Chinese regional economy and their impact on regional differentials. Following a brief review of regional development planning in China, the paper examines the role of core cities on the regional development and the trends in regional disparities using data for seven coastal provinces (Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shandong, Hebei and Liaoning) and three municipalities (Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai) in the period 1989-1997. It shows that while the coastal regions achieved a high economic growth, the extent of regional disparities and the contributions of core cities to the reduction of economic differentials varied among provinces. The paper concludes by proposing future issues on regional development planning in China. |

| Abstract | The global positioning system (GPS) is utilized for analysis of flows in the water environment. A float equipped with a GPS unit is designed to drift on the surface of the water. Its driving force is the fluid resistance exerted on a pair of rectangular plates. While it travels over the surface, the GPS unit evaluates its position every second, and spatiotemporal data that specify its motion are transmitted to be recorded. Results of experiments conducted to study unsteady flows generated in Kojima Lake are introduced. |

| Abstract | This paper is an attempt to develop a series of maps that precisely depict flood prone areas in Greater Dhaka, Bangladesh using remote sensing techniques. Multi-temporal RADARSAT SAR data were acquired and employed to delineate open water flood boundary during the floods of 1998 and 2000. Using a threshold algorithm, SAR data is segregated into water and non-water areas. The empirical threshold value was obtained by using visual interpretation technique, local knowledge of the study site and by deriving corresponding pixel values to land/water from each image. The result demonstrated that 53 percent of the study area was heavily inundated in 1998 flood which is the largest submerged area during a catastrophic scenario. In contrast, 35.32 percent area was flooded during the year 2000 which represents the area under water for a normal event. Using the reference data acquired from field visit, derived flood maps were further validated. Moderate accuracy is obtained for all flood maps, however, July 1998 image attained the highest overall accuracy (86%) in the dataset. The derived flood maps are expected to be useful to mitigate losses of lives and property from river water flooding in Greater Dhaka. Furthermore, this information would be worthwhile to develop an efficient flood disaster management system. |

| Author | Yamauchi, Ken-ichi| Kajiwara, Tsuyoshi| |
| Abstract | The effect of the quadratic term on the final pattern in Turing model is disscussed numerically. Turing models are non linear reaction diffusion equations. Linear analysis for wave length is very useful to find evolving waves. But when a quadratic term appear in the equation, an initial wave can disappears and changes drastically to a spot which is independent of linear analysis. |

| Title Alternative | Considering variable selection criteria in correspondence analysis |

| Author | Mori, Yuichi| Du, Xiao Dong| Iizuka, Masaya| |
| Abstract | Ordinary goodness of fit criteria in correspondence analysis are considered as variable selection criteria in case correspondence analysis which is one of multivariate methods without external variables can be applied. The goodness of fit criteria focused here are proportion of cumulative eigenvalues, proportion of cumulative squared-eigenvalues and proportion of cumulative off-diagonal fitness. Each criterion is applied to a couple of real data sets and evaluated with interpretation of the selection process and result (selected subset of variables). Four selection procedures such as backward elimination and forward-backward selection are also performed to compare with each other as well as with all possible selection procedure. These results illustrate that the criteria can be used as selection criteria to select a subset of variables in correspondence analysis and to assess categorical items (questions) in a survey (questionnaire). |

| Abstract | In 1990s, there were rapid increases in the number of HIV epidemics and AIDS cases in Thailand, Southeast Asia. In particular the risk of HIV infection was very high among female prostitutes who played a large part in the transmission of HIV infection. We formulated a mathematical model for the transmission of HIV in prostitutes. We carried out the model simulations to analyze the incipient spread of HIV infection and the effect of AIDS prevention methods in prostitutes. The simulation of our model indicates that even if the effect of AIDS prevention methods such as the recommendation of condom use for commercial sex workers would block the transmission at rate by 70%, the elimination of the HIV epidemic is still beyond attainment. |

| Abstract | Topographical data of Kojima Lake have been updated by applying data obtained after dredging. Together with tide level of Kojima Bay and water levels of Kurashiki River and Sasagase river, the information was incorporated in computational analysis of unsteady flows generated in the lake when the water was discharged from Kojima Lake to Kojima, Bay. A finite element method was applied to equations governing unsteady flows, and the transition of discharge was obtained. |

| Title Alternative | On Persistence in Dynamical Systems (Review) |
| FullText URL | 010_013_021.pdf |
| Author | Sasaki, Toru| Kajiwara, Tsuyoshi| |
| Abstract | Some important results on persistence are reviewed. These results concern the behavior of the orbits approaching the boundary. The orbits restrict the flow on the boundary, if one of them approaches more than one invariant set. A typical example is a model for cyclic competition, where the heteroclinic cycle can be the ω-limit set. Thus the persistence can be reduced to some conditions on the boundary flow. |

| Abstract | Fluorine-containing poly(ether ketone)s was synthesized by the nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction of 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropane and 4,4'-bis(2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzoyl) diphenyl ether in super-critical CO(2). Polymerizations were carried out at 80℃ for 6 hours under 5000 psi of CO(2) pressure, which was super-critical phase. Polymerization concentration was 0.5 g of polymer in 10 - 12 mL of CO(2). The polymer was not obtained in CO(2) due to the insolubility of both the potassium bisphenoxide and the polymer into CO(2). However, the polymer was formed by an addition of DMAc and NMP in CO(2), even though molecular weight was not so high. Very small amount of co-solvents which were immiscible with CO(2) was effective, and it was 1/20 - 1/25 amount of the solvent used in the conventional poly(ether ketone) synthesis. The polymerization mechanism was also discussed. |

| Title Alternative | A Case Study on How to Teach English at University Adopting TOEIC (2) -Evaluation after three years- |

| Abstract | Three years ago, we wrote an essay about our new English-teaching program that adopted TOEIC. We gave out questionnaires to the students with questions ranging from what they thought of English in general to what they thought of our new program. In the essay, we discussed some of the results. Even though students' response was relatively positive in this initial survey, we wrote in our conclusion that we would like to renew and reform our classes. Receiving feedback from students periodically would help us improve their English ability. In order to see the change of students' attitude toward English and also toward our program, we conducted the same research last February. This time the results were not as favorable. For example, the number of students who thought their English ability was poor increased and those who showed a positive attitude toward our program decreased. We discussed and wrote what we learned from those results. We raised the question whether there was a gap between what we tried to teach to the students and what they wanted from us. Possible reasons were discussed on why we could not succeed in stimulating the students into studying English further. In April 2003 Okayama University started a new English curriculum, in which the classes for proficiency tests including TOEIC were opened. Similar classes have been set at many other universities. This survey will be a help to the further development of English education adopting TOEIC. |

| Abstract | The one-way hash function plays an important role in digital signatures and message authentication from the viewpoint of security. No effective attacking method has been discovered to the algorithm of hash function standard. In this study, we tried to attack SHA-256 in encryption mode using linear and differential cryptanalysis to solve a private key. We deduced that an estimate of the private key would require huge known and chosen plaintexts in both linear and differential cryptanalysis, and that it would be difficult to decipher SHA-256 in view of the required computation. |
