The capacity of slightly acidic hypochlorous acid water (SAHW), in both liquid and spray form, to inactivate bacteria was evaluated as a potential candidate for biosecurity enhancement in poultry production. SAHW (containing 50 or 100 ppm chlorine, pH 6) was able to inactivate Escherichia coli and Salmonella Infantis in liquid to below detectable levels (≤2.6 log10 CFU/ml) within 5 sec of exposure. In addition, SAHW antibacterial capacity was evaluated by spraying it using a nebulizer into a box containing these bacteria, which were present on the surfaces of glass plates and rayon sheets. SAHW was able to inactivate both bacterial species on the glass plates (dry condition) and rayon sheets within 5 min spraying and 5 min contact times, with the exception of 50 ppm SAHW on the rayon sheets. Furthermore, a corrosivity test determined that SAHW does not corrode metallic objects, even at the longest exposure times (83 days). Our findings demonstrate that SAHW is a good candidate for biosecurity enhancement in the poultry industry. Spraying it on the surfaces of objects, eggshells, egg incubators and transport cages could reduce the chances of contamination and disease transmission. These results augment previous findings demonstrating the competence of SAHW as an anti-viral disinfectant.

The purpose of this study was to elucidate the characteristics of dental malpractice trials undertaken by medical malpractice divisions and ordinary divisions in district courts. Dentistry disputes in a total of 84 trials held between 1977 and 2014 were investigated. A total of 45 were conducted by medical malpractice divisions, resulting in 18 approvals and 27 dismissals, while 39 were undertaken by ordinary divisions, leading to 24 approvals and 15 dismissals. The parameters analyzed comprised category of dental treatment, judgment, amount claimed, and amount accepted. The results revealed that the mean amount claimed in trials held by medical malpractice divisions (¥12,563,324) was lower than that sought in trials conducted by ordinary divisions. The amount accepted was also found to exceed 50% of the amount claimed in 6 trials held by ordinary divisions (maximum 75.2%), but in only 2 trials conducted by medical malpractice divisions (maximum 54.8%); the mean amount accepted in trials held by medical malpractice divisions was 24.2%. These results indicate that judgments in trials conducted by medical malpractice divisions place a stronger emphasis on resolution of dental malpractice dispute than on pursuing truth or carrying out proper legal procedures.

After the Second World War, the financing behavior of Japanese companies, has been the primary means of debt financing. Therefore, the equity ratio of Japanese companies, were in much lower levels. However, the Japanese economy is in a low growth period, it began to change is seen in the financing behavior of companies.This paper, based on the data of Financial Statement Statistics of Corporations, to discuss the changes in the financing behavior of Japanese companies. Since the 1970s, equity ratio of Japanese companies continued to rise. In the paper, it was pointed out the features of the Japanese companies. Also, describe the changes in the capital structure of the company, it has also referred to the change of corporate assets.

This study focused on the impressions of robot design in the Japanese robot anime series, “Mobile Suit Gundam”. In Experiment 1, the impressions of robot design were measured using semantic differential method. Results of the factor analysis showed that the impressions of the robot design were illustrated by a three dimensional space, which was spanned by ‘Massiveness,’ ‘Coolness’ and ‘Roundness.’ ‘Moe’ is one of the most important keywords in robot design. The results of a multiple-regression analysis showed that Moe was felt deeply for a massive, cool and box-shaped robot. In Experiment 2, the differences between robots of scale models and super-deformed models were investigated. The results showed that the scale models were designed to be cool and the super-deformed models were designed to be cute.

Musical psychologists illustrated musical emotion with various numbers of dimensions ranging from two to eight. Most of them concentrated on classical music. Only a few researchers studied emotion in popular music, but the number of pieces they used was very small. In the present study, perceptual experiments were conducted using large sets of popular pieces. In Experiment 1, ten listeners rated musical emotion for 50 J-POP pieces using 17 SD scales. The results of factor analysis showed that the emotional space was constructed by three factors, ``evaluation,'' ``potency'' and ``activity.'' In Experiment 2, three musicians and eight non-musicians rated musical emotion for 169 popular pieces. The set of pieces included not only J-POP tunes but also Enka and western popular tunes. The listeners also rated the suitability for several listening situations. The results of factor analysis showed that the emotional space for the 169 pieces was spanned by the three factors, ``evaluation,'' ``potency'' and ``activity,'' again. The results of multiple-regression analyses suggested that the listeners like to listen to a ``beautiful'' tune with their lovers and a ``powerful'' and ``active'' tune in a situation where people were around them.
