The recent disaster of earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011 severely attacked East Japanese cities and people, and in addition, the accident of nuclear power station will inevitably damage the agricultural activities there. The economical depression influences on the horticulture and floriculture industry as well, through the reluctant consumption all over the country. Such a situation reflects a conventional perception that the garden plants or ornamental plants have been regarded as a symbol of capitalism, representing the success, luxury, beauty or other metaphors indicating the winners of business war. But as the word "culture" means "cultivation" originally, horti "culture" or flori "culture" should have played some roles in cultivating lands as well as cultivation of human minds, leading to develop a modern "culture" which may lay emphases on personality, originality, partnership, cooperation, diversity and so forth. In this article, a brief history of garden plants in Japan, as well as some current movements in Japanese horticulture and floriculture, is reviewed with some commodities which possess messages on creating a new humane culture.

In order to expand its entry into not only the domestic construction market but also overseas global markets, it is necessary to secure technological competitiveness, and as a fundamental measure, it is necessary to increase the proportion of R&D investment and establish and revitalize R&D organizations. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze construction sales and construction R&D investment for global construction companies in Korea and Japan, derive implications, and provide basic data for government policy establishment and global construction company strategy establishment. As a result of analyzing R&D investments in construction companies in Korea and Japan, it can be seen that Japanese construction companies have higher R&D investment costs compared to sales compared to Korea. In particular, the proportion of R&D investment continues to increase year-on-year, strengthening global competitiveness due to technology development. In addition, Japanese construction companies have established a technology research institute to discover and conduct future R&D research such as advanced IT, disaster prevention, and environment.

By taking the form of a fictional autobiography, a Japanese American woman writer Lydia Minatoya tries to solve the inexpressible confliction which Japanese Americans experience in their living in America. In her first published fiction, Talking to High Monks in the Snow, the writer faithfully tries to follow the Japanese I-story tradition where meandering of personal petit histories and frequent self-pities are constructed without solid action, characters and plot. Here appear many accidental others whom function as significant yet fleeting subalterns. In contrast, in the second fiction, The Strangeness of Beauty published seven years later, the I-narratives undergoes some drastic transformations by authorial intrusion, dramatic and haiku styles, and appearances of actorial agents. Just working as an invisible yet important stagehand (kuroko in Japanese) behind the stage of life, the author now handles her own self-inquiry through more controllable distance and maturity as directors or photographers often do. However, despite achieving dramatic actions and artistic elegance mainly thanks to her adoption of western masterpieces's grand narratives, Minatoya seems to stop in the midway in her tallying work of fiction with fact by delaying the larger imaginable conflict through which the temporarily gained autonomy can be turned into a disaster anytime. Nonetheless, the reader feels relieved and encouraged after recognizing the fragile Asian female self's transformation as a new, flexible and autonomous self by her unwavering contact with two contrasting cultures and providing silent minority female characters with gradually stronger and uncannier voices.

한반도는 화산 재해로부터 안전한 지역으로 알려져 왔다. 그러나 최근 백두산 및 일본 화산들을 포함한 극동아시아의 화산 관측동향 및 연구결과들은 더 이상 한반도가 화산 재해로부터 안전한 지역이 아님을 나타내고 있다. 대한민국 정부는 2012년부터 효율적인 화산재해 대응체계 구축을 위해 IT 기반의 화산재해대응시스템(VDRS: Volcanic Disaster Response System)구축기술을 개발해 왔다. VDRS의 주요 사용자는 대한민국 중앙 및 지방정부 공무원들이나 이들 대부분은 화산재해를 경험해 보지 못하였으며, 기본적 지식도 부족하다. 따라서 실제 재난 시, 효과적인 VDRS의 사용 및 재난대응을 위해서는 재해 대응과 관련된 교육 콘텐츠의 개발과 교육의 실시가 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 현실감 있는 화산재해 대응 교육을 위한 가상현실(VR; Virtual Reality) 기반의 모바일 앱 개발을 다루고 있다. 교육의 목적은 화산재해 관련 지식의 전달과 체험이다. 첫째, 공간정보 기반의 VR 콘텐츠를 제작한다. VR 콘텐츠를 제작을 위해서는 수치표고모형 기반 3D 모델이 구축되고, 기상효과 및 다양한 화산재해 확산 가시화 모델이 개발된다. 둘째, 화산재해 대응을 위한 교육앱이 개발된다. 이 단계에서 우리는 12단계의 화산재해 체험 스토리 보드를 제안한다. 앱은 스토리 보드를 기반으로 Unity3D 엔진을 이용하여 개발되며 다양한 화산재해(화산재, 화쇄류, 화산이류 등)를 체험하고 이들에 대한 지식을 전달할 수 있도록 구성된다. 본 연구의 결과는 화산재해 대응 및 예방을 위한 교육에 활용될 수 있을 것이며 향후, 증강현실 기술과 연계한다면 보다 현실감 있는 교육에 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

This paper show two different standardized test methods(Japanese Geotechnical Society; JGS 2003). One test is a "Test Method for Frost Heave Prediction Test, JGS 0171-2003", and the other test is a "Test Method for Frost Susceptibility, JGS 0172-2003". The purpose of this test is to obtain the freezing rate(freezing speed), frost heave ratio(heave to sample height), frost heave rate(heaving speed), and other parameters to be used for frost heave prediction and determine the frost susceptibility by freezing test with water intake. This method shall be used to predict the frost heave in frozen ground and evaluate the frost susceptibility of natural and replacement materials.

In designing a railroad bridge, the fatigue is one of the main factors to be considered for ensuring safe operation. Especially, for a new type of a structural member, which has not been adopted to railroad bridges, the fatigue performance should be checked. In this paper, the fatigue characteristics of an IT girder are examined. The IT girder is a new type of a prestressed concrete girder which has two prestressed H-beams in the top of the girder to give the girder additional sectional capacity. To obtain the fatigue performance, a 10m IT girder specimen is designed, and a repeated load test is performed by applying the load cyclically two million times. The magnitude of the repeated load is determined considering the stress level under the service condition. During the test, static load tests are performed to identify the stiffness degradation. The fatigue performance of the girder is checked according to the Japanese and the CEB-FIB design codes. The fatigue test result shows that the IT girder satisfies both design codes.

Since the scale and disaster characteristics of volcanic eruptions are determined by their geological features, it is important not only to grasp the current states of the volcanoes in neighboring countries around the Korean Peninsula, but also to analyze the tectonic settings, tectonic regions, geological features, volcanic types, and past eruptional histories of these volcanoes. We created a database of 285 volcanoes around the Korean Peninsula, and then identified a high-risk groups of 29 volcanoes that are highly likely to affect the region, based on conditions such as volcanic activity, the type of rocks at risk of eruption, the distance from Seoul, and high VEI (volcanic explosivity index). In addition, we identified the 10 volcanoes that should be given the highest priority. We selected them through an analysis of data available in literature, such as volcanic ash dispersion results from previous Japanese eruptions, the definition of a large-scale volcano used by Japan's Cabinet Office, and examination of cumulative magma layer volumes from Japan's quaternary volcanoes.

Most human-error case of accident database is written by various description and expression because accident database is produced by two or more person. And extracted information by searching of database varies in researcher's judgment criteria and the capability. Furthermore, much time and effort are required to examine manually information related to the human error from each accident case. Accordingly, it is difficult to explore objectively the accidents relevant to the human-error from the accident data base which is accumulated enormously. In this study, to solve these problems, it was developed an searchig method which is not influenced by researcher's judgment criteria and capability. For this, human-error keywords were extracted from a Japanese-English dictionary to examine objectively the accident case related to human-error in data base. This searching method by the human-error keywords can be applicable in most accident databases, although a database will be accumulated in future. Also, using the searching technique of this research, knowledge obtained by searching result can be compared with other research's results by the same method. Although the number of accident case increasese, searching results from database have the objectivity because it is not necessary to modify the based searching method or change the human-error keywords. However, as subject of future investigation, it would be necessary that the extension and investigation on human-error keywords improve and the technique to enhance searching accuracy would be modified.
