한반도 중부지방의 사면형성과정을 검토하기 위하여 이 지역에 광범위하게 분포하는 쥬라기의 화강암과 선캄브리아기의 편마암으로 구성된 산지 소유역에서 수문관측을 실시하였다. 화강암 유역의 면적은 0.0546$\textrm{km}^2$이며, 기복비는 0.35이다. 편마암 유역은 다소 넓어 면적은 0.0754$\textrm{km}^2$이나 기복비는 0.36으로 거의 같다. 두 유역의 사면은 모두 사림으로 피복되어 있다. 관입시험 결과에 의하면 화강암유역 토층의 층후는 20cm 이하로 얇고 도처에 기반암이 보출된다. 반면에 편마암 유역의 층후는 50cm 이상으로 상대적으로 두껍게 나타난다. 관측은 1999년 5월부터 시작하였으며, 현재도 계속되고 있다. 강우에 대한 유출방응은 편마암 유역이 화강암 유역에 비하여 신속하게 나타난다. 첨두유량과 기저유량 모두 화강암유역보다는 편마암유역에 전반적으로 높게 관측되어 편마암 유역 사면에서의 저류량이 큰 것으로 생각된다. 또한 편마암사면에서 우수의 체류시간을 반영하여 전기전도도는 편마암 유역이 화강암유역보다 2배 정도 높게 관측된다.

Background: For an accelerator-based BNCT, we have fabricated a new detector consisting of quartz optical fibers that have excellent radiation-resistant characteristics. Materials and Methods: The developed detectors were irradiated at Kyoto University Research Reactor. Results and Discussion: The experimental results showed that the new detector had good output linearity for the neutron intensity, and the response of the new detector did not decrease during the irradiation. Conclusion: The new detector consisting of quartz optical fibers can be applied to measurement of neutron field of an accelerator-based BNCT.

Methods for risk engineering is a bundle of engineering tools including fundamental concepts and approaches of soft computing with application to real issues of risk management. In this talk fundamental concepts and soft computing approaches of risk engineering will be introduced. As the term of risk implies both advantageous and hazardous uncertainty in its origins, a fundamental theory to describe uncertainties is introduced that includes traditional probability and statistical models, fuzzy systems, as well as less popular modal logic. In particular, modal logic capabilities to express various kinds of uncertainties are emphasized and relations with rough sets and evidence theory are described. Another topic is data mining related to problems in risk management. Some risk mining techniques including fuzzy clustering are introduced and a recently developed algorithm is overviewed. A numerical example is shown.

To elucidate whether small diameter at breast height correlates with tree death in an overcrowded tree population, we analyzed self-thinning occurring over the course of 37 years in naturally established Pinus densiflora populations in Sugadaira, central Japan. As trees grew, their diameters at breast height increased and the number of trees consequently decreased. Spatial distribution, which was initially clumped, changed accordingly, first becoming random and finally uniform. We calculated the "available area" of individual trees to elucidate the contribution of this parameter to tree mortality. Small diameter at breast height was strongly correlated with tree death, with a slight correlation observed between tree death and small available area of individual trees.

This paper describes a stationary position control of a wheeled blimp. The wheeled blimp is composed of a blimp filled with helium gas and a wheeled vehicle part. The wheeled blimp is designed to enable both flying in the air and standing on the floor. The wheeled blimp stands on the floor keeping its balance. However, it is difficult for the wheeled blimp to maintain a stationary position in standing phase since the stationary blimp system responds sensitively to air current even in indoor environments. In order to keep the stationary position restraining motion caused by an uncertain airflow, a position controller for the wheeled blimp is needed. Controller design based on dynamic m...

Performance of the previously proposed 2D-image reconstruction method for soft tissues in x-ray computed tomography is evaluated thoroughly through numerical experiments with 4 assumed absorption rates of different symmetries under practical conditions, and the following special features are made clear: It is quite precise, especially at points where the object taking larger values; about two orders less magnitude errors than the conventional most precise method when no noise existing, without any 1D- or 2D-interpolation. In spite of its high sensitivity to the noises, it is even more precise by about 8dB than the latter, to relative pojection data noise power of 5%.

The angular dispersion-type non-scanning Fabry-Perot was applied to an ethanol-water mixture in order to investigate its acoustic properties such as the sound velocity and the absorption coefficient. The scattered light from the mixture was analyzed by using the charge-coupled-device area detector, which made the measurement time much shorter than that obtained by using the conventional scanning tandem multi-pass Fabry-Perot interferometer. The sound velocity showed a deviation from ultrasonic sound velocities at low temperatures accompanied by the increase in the absorption coefficient, indicating acoustic dispersion due to the coupling between the acoustic waves and some relaxation process. Based on a simplified viscoelastic theory, the temperature dependence of the relaxation time was obtained. The addition of water molecules to ethanol reduced the relaxation time, consistent with dielectric measurements. The present study showed that the angular dispersion-type Fabry-Perot interferometer combined with an area detector could be a very powerful tool in the real-time monitoring of the acoustic properties of condensed matter.

Surface relief holograms are fabricated by means of irradiation of laser interference patterns. The diffraction efficiency and the surface relief depth depend on the writing energy and the polarization of the writing laser beam. This structure is very stable at temperatures under glass transition temperature $T_g$ and can be erased by heating above $T_g$. We proposed a new technique to control the surface relief structure. The electric charge was deposited on the surface relief grating in a corona-depositing poling setup in an oven. The first-order diffraction efficiency measured before and after corona discharge increased from about 0.24 % to about 28 %. This diffraction efficiency increase is mainly caused by the increase of the relief depth caused by the electric charge. The relief depth is increased from 20 nm to 350 nm by corona charging. .

Two intracellular enzymes, cellobiose phosphorylase (CBP) and cellodextrin phosphorylase (CDP) are involved in the phosphorolytic pathway in cellulose degradation. Those enzymes are considered to be useful in syntheses of oligosaccharides because the reactions are reversible. CBP from Cellvibrio gilvus and CDP from Clostridium thermocellum YM-4 were cloned and over-expressed in Escharichia coli. Both the enzyme reactions showed ordered bi bi mechanism. Acceptor specificity of CBP in the reverse reaction was determined. Several $\beta$-l,4-glucosyl disaccharides were synthesized by using the reaction. A new substrate inhibition pattern, competitive substrate inhibition, was also found in the reverse reaction of CBP Cellobiose was produced from sucrose at a high yield by a combined action of three enzymes including CBP
