The LBB behavior and the crack opening displacement after a crack penetrated wall thickness of statically indeterminate piping system were investigated in this study, compared with statically determinate piping system. The reduction of ultimate strength caused by a crack was relatively small in the statically indeterminate piping system. The statically indeterminate piping system has more safety margin for LBB behavior than the statically determinate piping system. The crack opening displacement could be evaluated by using the plastic rotation angle proposed to evaluate the crack opening displacement after crack penetration in pipe with a non-penetrating crack.

The most distinguishing character of diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMSs) is a strong interaction between sp-carriers and localized d-spins (sp-d exchange interaction). Recently many "room-temperature (RT) ferromagnetic DMS" have been reported. However, it should be noted that their sp-d exchange interactions have not been confirmed yet. The lack of a clear evidence of the sp-d exchange interaction causes the controversy on the origin of the observed ferromagnetism. For the detection of the sp-d exchange interaction, magneto-optical spectroscopy such as a magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) measurement is the most powerful tool. By using the MCD spectroscopy, we have shown the sp-d exchange interactions in Zn$_{l-x}$Cr$_{x}$Te. Recently, we have obtained the RT ferromagnetism in a Zn$_{l-x}$Cr$_{x}$Te (x = 0.20) film.0) film.

The ubiquitous presence of lactoferrin(LF) receptor in human as reported by the research group of Prof. Bo Lonnerdal, Univ. California (Suzuki, Y. A.,2001) encouraged us to search for the unknown physiological roles of Lf. Under the collaboration with Prof. Etsumori Harada, Tottori Univ., and his research group, we have found two novel biological activities of LF as the control of the lipid metabolism and the effect on the central nervous system. Relating to the lipid metabolism, LF could, in animal experiments, reduce triglyceride and total cholesterol both in blood and liver (Takeuchi, T et αl., 2003). LF increased plasms HDL-C and lowered LDL-C. In the central nervous system, LF showed anti-nociceptive activity mediated by ${\mu}$-opioid receptor in the rat spinal cord (Hayashida, K. et al., 2003). LF enhanced analgesic action of morphine synergistically via nitric oxide synthesis (Hayashida, K., et al., 2003) LF showed opioid-mediated suppressive effect on distress induced by maternal separation in rat pups (Takeuchi, T., et al., 2003).

To improve quality and reliability of a multi-institutuonal radiation oncology database and to enhance the results of radiotherapy, we developed software which can generate another software automatically for converting an existed database to an integrated multi-institutional database ROGAD [Radiation Oncology Greater Area Database].

3D reconstruction of a human face from an image sequence remains an important problem in computer vision. We propose a method, based on a factorization algorithm, that reconstructs a 3D face model from short image sequences exhibiting rotational motion. Factorization algorithms can recover structure and motion simultaneously from one image sequence, but they usually require that all feature points be well tracked. Under rotational motion, however, feature tracking often fails due to occlusion and frame out of features. Additionally, the paucity of images may make feature tracking more difficult or decrease reconstruction accuracy. The proposed 3D reconstruction approach can handle short image sequences exhibiting rotational motion wherein feature points are likely to be missing. We implement the proposal as a reconstruction method; it employs image sequence division and a feature tracking method that uses Active Appearance Models to avoid the failure of feature tracking. Experiments conducted on an image sequence of a human face demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In a development of efficient primal-dual interior-points algorithms for self-scaled convex programming problems, one of the important properties of such cones is the existence and uniqueness of "scaling points". In this paper through the identification of scaling points with the notion of "(metric) geometric means" on symmetric cones, we extend several well-known matrix inequalities (the classical L$\ddot{o}$wner-Heinz inequality, Ando inequality, Jensen inequality, Furuta inequality) to symmetric cones. We also develop a theory of spectral geometric means on symmetric cones which has recently appeared in matrix theory and in the linear monotone complementarity problem for domains associated to symmetric cones. We derive Nesterov-Todd inequality using the spectral property of spectral geometric means on symmetric cones.

Multiperiod optimization is the key step to tackle the supply chain optimization problems. Taking supply and demand uncertainty or prediction into consideration during the process synthesis phase leads to the maximization of the profit for the long range time horizon. In this study, new algorithm based on the Genetic Algorithms is proposed for multiperiod optimization formulated in MINLP, GDP and hybrid MINLP/GDP. In this study, the focus is given especially on the design of the Genetic Algorithm suitable to handle disjunctive programming with the same level of MINLP handling capability. Hybridization with the Simulated Annealing is tried. and many heuristics are adopted for this purpose.

Three topics which are related to technologies for developing of large capacity MRAM over Gbits are reviewed. First, it is stressed that inelastic-electron-tunnel-tunneling spectroscopy(IETS) is a powerfull method to investigate the interface state between magnetic electrodes and insulator. Second, magnetic tunnel junctions with small bias voltage dependence are introduced. Finally, fabrication method of carbon masks for very small magnetic tunnel junctions is demonstrated. These three topics were presented at 47^{th} MMM 2002 conference and each paper will appear in the proceedings.
