  • We report the current status of Japanese lunar exploration SELENE (SELenological and ENgineering Explorer). As of the end of 2004, scientific instruments onboard the Main Orbiter are under final checkout before they are provided to the proto-flight-model (PFM) integration test. Also, we present the future perspectives of the lunar based instruments and facilities. 'In-situ Lunar Orientation Mea-surement (ILOM)' experiment measures the lunar rotation with high accuracy by tracking stars on the Moon with a small photo-zenith-tube type optical telescope. A basic idea of a radio telescope array of very low frequency range on the lunar far-side is also mentioned.

  • Consider the problem $-div($\mid$\bigtriangledown_u$\mid$^{p-2}\bigtriangledown_u) = $\mid$u$\mid$^{p^*-2}u + \lambda$\mid$u$\mid$^{q-2}u$ in B, u = 0 on $\partial B$; where $B \subset R^n$ is a ball, $\lambda < 0, 1 < p < n$ and $p^* = \frac{np}{n-p}$ is the critical Sobolev exponent. For given $\lambda > 0$, we show that there exists $k = k(\lambda) \in N$ such that any radial solutions to this problem have at most k noda curves when $p \leq q \leq p^* - 1$.

  • Many of past studies using physically based numerical climate models indicate that increases in atmospheric $CO_2$could enhance summer dryness over continental region in middle-high latitudes. However the models used in those studies do not take account of permafrost in high latitudes. We have carried out a set of experiments applying a version of global climate model that can reproduce realistic distribution of the permafrost. From the results, it is indicated that permafrost functions as a large reservoir in hydrologic cycle maintaining dry, hot summer over continents in northern middle-high latitudes, and that the $CO_2$warming would reduce this function by causing climatological thawing of permafrost, which would result in moister and cooler summer, and warmer winter in the same region. The present study indicates that an inclusion of very simple description of soil freezing process can make a large difference in a model simulation.

  • In this study, we have applied principal component analysis-based 2D (PCA2D) correlation spectroscopy to the temperature-dependent IR spectra of biodegradable poly(hydroxyalkanoate). PCA2D analysis reveals clearly that there are two components in crystalline band of C=O stretching mode without being hampered by noise. To better understand the thermal behavior of biodegradable poly(hydroxyalkanoate), eigenvalue manipulating transformation (EMT) technique was also employed. By uniformly lowering the power of a set of eigenvalues associated with the original data, the subtle contributions from minor eigenvectors are highlighted. Details of thermal behavior of biodegradable poly(hydroxyalkanoate) studied by PCA2D correlation spectroscopy with EMT will be discussed.

  • We have demonstrated a flexible and full-color OTFT-OLED display. The display has a top-emitting pixel structure with a resolution of 80 ppi, which can be achieved by developed integration architecture of OTFTs. The 0.3-mm-thick flexible display exhibits peak brightness over 100 nit with a contrast ratio greater than 1000:1.

  • This paper describes the spot scanning with $^{11}$ C beams for the Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba (HIMAC). The concave-shaped irradiation field was optimized and the dose distribution was measured by 128-ch ionization chamber. Because of the wide momentum spread inherent in $^{11}$ C beams, the dispersion caused from the beam line and the scanning magnets should be taken into account to calculate the dose distribution of $^{11}$ C beams and their irradiated field. The reconstructed dose distribution is in good agreement with the experimental results.

  • MF is a half shaft blast furnace which has been developed at Mitsui Miike Smelter in the 1960’s to treat vertical retort residue. The MF has also been tested for treatment of various recycling materials and wastes. Now various secondaries and wastes (EAF dust, zinc leaching residue, Cu sludge, etc ) are mainly treated. Powder materials are briquetted with reductant before being fed to the furnace. Products are crude zinc oxide, matte, non-hazardous slag and steam. Zinc and lead are recovered in oxide dust, and copper and silver are recovered in matte. The MF can be widely applied to many kinds of materials which contain such non-ferrous metal-valuables. In addition, the improvement in operation and technology has effectively made the unit capacity much larger. The MF now has many advantages for these treatment processes.

  • In this study, we proposed a new promising idea of utilizing moving window principal component analysis (MWPCA) as a sensitive diagnostic tool to detect the presence of peak position shift. In this approach, the moving window is constructed from a small data segment along the wavenumber axis. For each window bound by a narrow wavenumber region, separate PCA analysis was applied. Simulated spectra with complex spectral feature variations were analyzed to explore the possibility of MWPCA technique. This MWPCA-based detection of the peak shift, potentially coupled with 2D correlation analysis to provide additional verification, may offer an attractive solution.
