In our study, we try to develop new method for utilizing the essential oils extracted from cedar, cypress and todomatsu tree residues for control of human allergenicity of Japanese cedar pollinosis. Therefore, we evaluated dissociation constant (KD) of cedar pollen allergenic Cry j 1 by using the Biacore J system based on the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) principle before and after exposure to the different trees essential oils. We found that the KD value (2.20×10-10M) of Cry j 1 when it has been exposed to polluted air of NO2 and O3 is lower than those of Cry j 1 (1.35~2.45×10-9M) exposed to both of pollutant air (NO2 and O3) and the essential oils. It is suggested that the trees essential oils are valuable for allergenicity inhibition of cedar pollen allergenic Cry j 1.

This study reports the damage at the coastal area in south Thailand by Indian Ocean Tsunami occurred at Dec.26.2004. The investigated area covered about 250 km at Andaman seaside from Phuket to Ranong. For elucidating the effect of vegetation on tsunami protection, the representative vegetation was classified according to the stand structure of the tree. The representative trees were classified into five and their stem diameter (d), tree height, branch structure, density of the trees and the forest-width to the Tsunami-direction were investigated. From the survey, mangrove, especially Rhizophora apiculata forest, was effective to protect Tsunami damage with its complex root structure. Anacardium occidentale was also effective with its large diameter branches at low height from the ground level. On contrary, Casuarina equisetifolia has assumed little effect to reduce the velocity when their diameter grow large (d>0.5m) with large stem-spacing (7-30m).

Unsteady mass transfer from a two-dimensional drop is solved numerically with boundary element method. The domain is decomposed into two sub-domains for cylindrical drop and surrounding fluid, and boundary elements are arranged between the sub-domains. The system equation for boundary elements is derived by a direct method and by a finite difference approximation for time derivative. The solutions are independent of the number of elements on the interface of the drop and the external boundary of the domain. The number of meshes inside the domain, on the other hand, affects the numerical solutions. It is necessary for good approximation to select appropriate resolution of the computational domain and the time step.
