  • In this paper, lower and upper possibility distributions are identified to reflect two extreme opinions in portfolio selection problems based on upper and lower possibility distributions are formalized as quadratic programming problems. Portfolios for compromising two extreme opinions from upper and lower possibility distributions and balancing the opinions of a group of experts can be obtained by quadratic optimization problems, respectively.

  • Although each de Morgan algebra has not always fixed points(centers), it has always fixed cores, the natural extention of fixed points. Fixed cores, of they do not degenerate to fixed points, are Boolean algebras, It is also shown the necessary and sufficient condition a algebra to be a Kleene algebra(fuzzy algebra) is that it has just one fixed core.

  • We have developed bio-system derived algorithm: Leaf Cellular Automata(LCA). LCA are one form of cellular automata. LCA are reffered to activity of a leaf. LCA have four layers: the "CO$_2$ Layer", the "Stoma Layer", the "Starch Layer" and the "Water Layer". In order to evaluate this optimization algorithm, we used a pattern matching problem.

  • An experimental investigation on hydrodynamic forces acting on a porpoising craft at high advanced speeds up to Froude numbers Fn=6.0(Fn=U\ulcorner:Lo\ulcorner denote overall length of ship) in calm water is performed. Captive model tests and forced motion tests are carried out to measure the hydrodynamic forces. The results show that significant nonlinear effects for motion amplitudes appear in the restoring, the added mass and the damping coefficients. The experimental results are compared with the results of a prediction method of the hydrodynamic forces include the nonlinear effects, and show a good agreement with them. A simulation using the predicted hydrodynamic forces in a nonlinear motion equation is carried out to obtain the porpoising motion of a craft in calm water. The calculated results are in fairly good agreement with experimental ones.

  • This study conducted analyses on biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOC) emission sources contributing to urban ozone ($O_3$) concentration in Osaka Prefecture, Japan in summer 2010 by using the Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF) version 3.5.1 and the Community Multiscale Air Quality model (CMAQ) version 5.0.1. This prefecture is characterized by highly urbanized area with small forest area. The contributions of source regions surrounding Osaka were estimated by comparing the baseline case and zero-out cases for BVOC emissions from each source region. The zero-out emission runs showed that the BVOC emissions substantially contributed to urban $O_3$ concentration in Osaka (10.3 ppb: 15.9% of mean daily maximum 1-h $O_3$ concentration) with day-by-day variations of contributing source regions, which were qualitatively explained by backward trajectory analyses. Although $O_3$ concentrations were especially high on 23 July and 2 August 2010, the contribution of BVOC on 23 July (35.4 ppb: 25.6% of daily maximum $O_3$) was much larger than that on 2 August (20.9 ppb: 14.2% of daily maximum $O_3$). To investigate this difference, additional zero-out cases for anthropogenic VOC (AVOC) emissions from Osaka and for VOC emissions on the target days were performed. On 23 July, the urban $O_3$ concentration in Osaka was dominantly increased by the transport from the northwestern region outside Osaka with large contribution of $O_3$ that was produced through BVOC reactions by the day before and was retained over the nocturnal boundary layer. On 2 August, the concentration was dominantly increased by the local photochemical production inside Osaka under weak wind condition with the particularly large contribution of AVOC emitted from Osaka on the day.

  • Euglena gracilis 에서 arginine deiminas는 mitochondrial matrix 내에 존재한다. 고도로 정제된 효소가 0.23 nM의 $K_m$ 값을 갖고 효소반응을 하기 위해서는 $Co^{2+}$가 필요하며, 이때 최적 pH는 9.3~10.3이었다. Gel filtration에 의해서 얻어진 조효소 단백질의 분자량은 87,000이었으며, SDS-acrylamide gel electrophoresis에 의해 효소는 48,000의 분자량을 갖는 2개의 동일한 subunit로 구성되어 있음이 밝혀졌다. Euglena의 arginine deiminas는 sulfhydryl inhibitors에 의해서 활성이 저지되었는데, 이는 sulfhydryl group이 효소의 활성부위에 관여함을 나타낸다. 이 sulfhydryl group은 arginine이 효소와 결합하는데 있어서 negative cooperativity를 나타내었다. ${\beta}-guanidinopropionate$, ${\gamma}-guanidinobutyrate$와 guanidinosuccinate는 효소의 활성을 저지시키지 않는데 반하여, $L-^{\alpha}-amino-{\beta}-guanidino-propionate$, D-arginine, 그리고 L-homoarginine은 효소의 활성을 강력하게 저지시켰다. Citrulline과 ornithine에 의해서도 상당한 정도의 효소활성저지가 관찰되었다. 우리는 Euglena의 arginine deiminase의 독특한 성질이 Euglena 라는 원생동물 내에서 arginine 대사의 조절에 어떻게 영향을 미치는지를 토의하고자 한다.

  • To study the relationship between the concentrations of nitrogen in mountain streams, and anthropologic and natural factors, the water chemistry of the mountain streams in the entire Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, were investigated. A thousand mountain streams were investigated between 1998 and 2001. The concentrations of nitrate nitrogen ranged from 2.92 to 0.1 mg/L, with an arithmetic mean value of 0.45 mg/L. A number of streams showing more than 1.0 mg/L of nitrate nitrogen accounted for 8% of the mountain streams investigated. These results indicated that the concentrations of nitrate nitrogen in the mountain streams were low in the entire Hyogo Prefecture. In general, the mountain stream water in Hyogo Prefecture appears to not have been affected by wet and dry deposition originating from anthropologic sources in mountain streams and Japan. On the other hand, sites with more than 0.8 mg/L nitrate nitrogen were distributed over the entire Hyogo Prefecture, which were classified into five groups. Each group showed unique geographical, geological and anthropological characteristics. No common characteristic among five groups were discover. These results suggest that the cause of high concentrations of nitrogen in mountain streams is not from a uniform set of conditions.

  • Sensory traits and preferences regarding food co-product fermented liquid (FCFL)-fed pork loin were compared with those of formula-fed pork. The FCFL-fed pork was expected to have improved fat meltability. Thirty-nine laboratory panelists took part in a sensory test. The fat meat and the lean meat of FCFL-fed pig were judged more meltable and tender, respectively, than the corresponding meat from the formula-fed pig. These sensory traits agreed closely with the results of a mechanical investigation of fat melting patterns and with Warner-Bratzlar shear force values. However, the overall preference was not significantly associated with sensory fat meltability and meat tenderness, as assessed by chi-square and correspondence analyses, but it was significantly related to the whole fat preference and the fat texture preference. The fat texture preference, however, did not correlate with sensory fat meltability. These results indicated that FCFL feeding altered sensory fat meltability in pork loin, but the preference for such meltable fat differed among individual panelists.

  • It is urgently-needed to construct a green supply chain (GSC) from collection of used products through recycling of them to sales of products using the recycled parts. Besides, it is necessary to consider the uncertainty in product demand as a risk in a GSC. This study proposes the optimal operations for a GSC with a retailer and a manufacturer. A retailer pays an incentive for collection of used products from customers and sells a single type of products in a market. A manufacturer produces the products ordered by the retailer, using recyclable parts with acceptable quality and compensates the collection cost of used products as to the recycled parts. This paper discusses the following risk attitudes: risk-neutral attitude, risk-averse attitude, and risk-prone attitude. Using mean-variance analysis, the optimal decisions for product order quantity, collection incentive, and lower limit of quality level, in the decentralized GSC (DGSC) and the integrated GSC (IGSC) are made. DGSC optimizes the utility function of each member. IGSC does that of the whole system. The analysis numerically investigates how (i) risk attitude and (ii) quality of recyclable parts affect the optimal operations. Supply chain coordination between GSC members to shift IGSC from DGSC is discussed.
