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. |

Abstract | Studies on the existing non-symbiotic diazotrophic systems still are the most promising for better use of biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) in agriculture. The possibilities for the extension of nitrogen fixation to rice plants still speculative. The prospect of extension of N(2)-fixation to other plants was originally formulated to simulate the possibilities for the biological use of atmospheric nitrogen in order to overcome the ecological and economical problems of nitrogenous fertilizers. In view of this, the present study was conducted for the characterization and identification of N(2)-fixing bacterial strains at the maturity (110 days) stage in rhizosphere of rice (BR 10, Oryza sativa L.) grown in Brahmaputra Alluvium soil of Bangladesh. The soil is characterized as 'Inceptisol' order and 'Aquept' suborder. It was identified as 'Dhamrai series', had 'silt' texture, pH 6.0 and 6.8 C/N ratio. The present results of the microbial tests on the rice rhizosphere soil demonstrated that out of 401 isolates, only 94 were branded as nitrogen fixing organisms per gram of soil, which is about 23.4% of the total isolates. Based on the selection criteria, four individual strains were selected for identification. Biochemical tests were conducted for proper identification. They were identified as Closteridium spp., Klebsiella spp., Bacillus spp. and Azospirllum spp. |

Author | Hanzawa, Wakako| Moroizumi, Toshitsugu| Sasaki, Choichi| |
Abstract | Thermal conductivity of soils in Shirakami Mountains that was registered on UNESCO's World Natural Heritage in 1993 were measured using a twin transient-state cylindrical-probe method. The typical results were as follows:(1) Thermal conductivity of the soils in Shirakami Mountains increased according to an increase of soil water content, which was the same tendency as the other soils. (2) The thermal conductivity of the soils was about 0.2~0.3 Wm(-1)K(-1) smaller than volcanic ash soils, and it showed the same tendency as leaf mold. |

Abstract | The Asahi River Dam reservoir is one of the important fresh water resources in Okayama, Japan, and its eutrophication has been noted since the 1980s. Therefore, aeration has been applied to control the growth of phytoplankton. In this study, we discussed the effect of aeration and water-intake depth on the water quality distribution in the reservoir, based on numerical simulation and observation. The principal conclusions were as follows:(1) The numerical simulation models applied here reproduced observations fairly well. (2) Water intake from the surfacce layer reduced the concentration of chlorophyll a in the surface layers. Water intake from the middle or bottom layer improved the deficit of dissolved oxygen in the bottom layers. (3) Aeration together with water intake from the middle or bottom layer improved the deficit of dissolved oxygen in the bottom layers. |

Author | Takisawa, Tomoaki| Nishimura, Shin-ichi| Murakami, Akira| |
Abstract | To examine the possible reuse of dredged sludge in view of construction material, physico-chemical properties and geotechnical characteristics of desiccated sludge are investigated through laboratory experiments. The consistency test, the pH test, the XRF test and the X-ray diffraction analysis are carried out for physico-chemical proteries, and the conolidation test and the permeability test are made for geotechnical characteristics. It is concluded that the history of desiccation changes the consistency of sludge and affects its permeability and consolidation bahavior. |

Abstract | This study aims to examine the Southeastern Anatolia Project in Turkey, which contains irrigation, energy and drinking water development schemes. The project is the biggest regional development effort ever undertaken by Turkish Government and has influenced the sustainable economic and human development targets. With the completion of each step of the project, it has been expected that there have been many important economic and social changes in Turkish regions, especially the southeast part of Turkey (called as "Southeastern Anatolia Region") and its surrounding areas. The project also interests in both Turkey and its related regions and sustainability is a major issue of concern. Following a brief introduction of the project, the paper examines the type of recent social-economic changes in the region and Turkey in terms of sustainable development components. Under the light of our investigations from different perspectives, it is observed that GAP region with its development project is very far from expectations in the point of sustainability. |

Abstract | The homogenization method is used to model steel fiber reinforced concrete SFRC by converting the random distribution of fibers to a periodic one. The periodic distribution is chosen to hold similar properties of the composite material in both perpendicular directions to represent an average approximation for the random distribution. The material is modeled as a composite with brittle matrix and elastic fibers. Two patterns of the unit cell are examined to establish the homogenized stiffiness matrix in elastic and plastic stages. A rigid plastic bonding is considered between matrix and fibers. The smeared crack model is used to represent the nonlinearity of concrete. The validity of the homogenized model is examined by comparing the numerical results with the experimental results. The results show good agreement with the experimental work when a suitable pattern of the unit cell is used. |

Abstract | Regional development and regional planning subjects are very closely linked with the development projects in Turkey as much as in the world. The main applications and studies are usually based on the elimination of disparities among regions. Within this framework, this study has firstly aimed to set out the regional development objectives in Turkey. Secondly, we tried to find out the effect of new regional approaches on Turkish regional structure. Hence, as an approach different from other studies, we focused on NUTS (Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics) regions instead of geographical units (regions) studies. In the following parts of the study, thirdly, the efforts of Turkey about the regional development have been discussed and assessed by using Neoclassic Growth Model in terms of per capita income distributions for new region groups. To compare the results of analysis among regional units, the most important development projects for Turkey were also taken as a different approach unlike other sudies. Previous studies based on geographic regions showed that the basic tendency of per capita income distribution is 'Divergence' unlike expected 'Convergence' in Turkey, but in our study, we found more optimistic results for Turkey, in which per capita income distributions have a tendency to converge after 1997. |

Abstract | Serious adverse impacts on the environment and human health from the recycling and disposal of electronic waste have occurred in the past and continue to occur in China today, due to the lack of a national management strategy. With aiming to support the management strategy development, a study was carried out to plan and quantitatively evaluate the optional management frameworks for the selected five main types of large electronic home appliances in Beijing, the capital city and a typically big municipality in China. This paper outlined the main findings yielded from the series of assessment studies which started from the generation amount prediction and material flow analysis of the used electronic appliances, planning and optimization of the collection & transportation frameworks and ended at the economic evaluation of the optional recycling processes for the waste appliances. Although the revenue could be expected from the result of isolated evaluation of the recycling processes, the entire system will be economically unavailable if the used appliances are still collected from the owners at current prices. The traditional understanding of householders on the values of their used appliances should be changed in Beijing and China as a whole. Establishment of a formal collection system that could take back the used appliances at lower prices (less than 40% of the current level) is the key for the construction of a formal management framework with sustainability. |

Abstract | In Indonesia, municipal solid waste (MSW) is becoming increasing complex due to variety of reasons like the increasing quantity of MSW, rising public awareness and municipal administration policies in different cities and surrounding regencies. After the landslide accident at Bandung city disposal site, most of related agencies are trying their level best to improve the situation. Against this backdrop, this paper attempts to analyze the present system of MSW addressing variety of aspects such as quantity and composition of MSW being generated, operational management, legal system as well as financial aspect. The systematic assessment has revealed the problem like lack of legal framework, low coverage, improper waste storage, less encouragement for composting, and lack of proper disposal practices. Finally, an action plan is presenting suggestion for immediate and future addressing the issues like the operational management, institutional, financial aspect, public participation & environmental education. |
