Crystal growing in a diffusion field takes various patterns. Only with the diffusional instability, the aggregation grown has a self-similar structure, called fractal, up to a diffusion length. The growth rate is determined by the fractal dimension and the gas density. With the anisotropic surface tension, the regular dendritic morphology is stabilized, and the growth rate and the tip radius satisfies a universal scaling relation. Below a rounghening temperature of a certain interface, the singularity in the surface kinetics governs the growth and the crystal shape becomes polygonal.

本研究は,消費者の商品使用時における複数の感覚項目の重要性の程度を比較検討し,さらに,性差や世代差によるセグメンテーションでの検討を行うことで新たなマーケティングの可能性を見出すことを目的とした.新人類世代526人(平均年齢48.85歳,SD=2.51),新人類Jr.世代674人(平均年齢20.41歳,SD=1.84),そのうち女性624人,男性576人の合計1,200人を対象に,自動車を用いたアンケート調査を行った.その結果,消費者は自動車使用時において「視覚」「嗅覚」「触覚」「聴覚」の順に感覚項目を重視することが明らかとなった.さらに,性差や世代差による比較検討の結果,女性は「車体色」「内装色」や「嗅覚」の全ての項目で,男性は「ハンドルの素材感」で有意に高い得点を示した.性差や世代差により統計的に有意な差が感覚項目の間に示されたことから,消費者の属性などを考慮したマーケティングの必要性を本論文で示すことができた.

In the course of screening anti-adipogenic activity of natural products employing the preadipocyte cell line, 3T3-L1 as an in vitro assay system, the EtOAc fraction of the stem barks of Fraxinus rhynchophylla DENCE (Oleaceae) showed significant inhibitory activity on adipocyte differentiation as assessed by measuring fat accumulation using Oil Red O staining. Activity-guided fractionation led to the isolation of six coumarins such as esculetin (1), scopoletin (2), fraxetin (3), fraxidin (4) esculin (5) and fraxin (6). Among the six coumarins isolated, esculetin (1) showed the most potent inhibitory activity on adipocyte differentiation, followed by fraxetin (3). Further studies with interval treatment demonstrated that esculetin (1) exerted inhibitory activity on adipocyte differentiation when treated within 2 d (days 0—2) after differentiation induction. We further investigated the effect of esculetin (1) on peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ (PPARγ), one of the early adipogenic transcription factors. Esculetin (1) significantly blocked the induction of PPARγ protein expression and inhibited adipocyte differentiation induced by troglitazone, a PPARγ agonist. Taken together, these results suggest that esculetin (1), an active compound from F. rhynchophylla, inhibited early stage of adipogenic differentiation, in part, via inhibition of PPARγ-dependent pathway.

This article aims at evaluating the performances of the New National Theater which was opened in 1997 as Japan’s first full-scale National Opera House. Evaltlation is conducted through the analysis based on the reports of surveys commissioned by the Theater for improving its management. In analyzing the reports, the author took into consideration the method applied by Baumol&Bowen in their co-authored work, P6吻7〃zing、Arts-the Economic 1)ilemma, a classical achievement in the field of cultural economics. The analysis shows that the age composition of the opera audience of the New National Theater is considerably high (49.90n average) and that the mainstream (frequent visitors) belong to the graying generation that lived through Japanis post-war high-economic growth. The inancial statements of the New National Theater seem to indicate its stable capacity to survive, mainly on the presentation of established pieces of opera, agreeable to the mainstream of the present audience. In view of the mandate of the New National Theater to promote the creation of modern performing arts, however, it is recommended that the Theater make further efforts to diversify the audience.

液体培地及び魚肉 (アジ, カツオ) ホモジネート中における V. parahaemolyticus に対するニンニク抽出液の抗菌作用を検討した. ニンニク抽出液を20, 10及び5%添加した培地に供試菌を約105/ml個接種し, 経時的に生菌数を測定した結果, 15分, 30分及び1時間以内に供試菌は死滅した. 同濃度のニンニク抽出液を添加した無処理のアジ魚肉ホモジネートに, 供試菌を約105/g個接種した場合, 30分後の生菌数は約102, 104及び104/g個であった. カツオの魚肉ホモジネートを用いて同様の実験を行った結果, アジ魚肉に比べ抗菌効果はやや低下したが抗菌作用が認められた. ニンニク抽出液を-20, 4, 25及び37°で120時間保存し, 抗菌活性を測定した結果, 4°以下では安定していたが, 25°以上では24時間後, 活性は徐々に減弱した.

In this paper, we carried out a subjective evaluation on the perceptual difference in female speech to show the gender difference in its likability and analyzed a relationship between the acoustic features and subjective scores. This subjective evaluation used female speech uttered by 21 speakers as the stimuli, and 127 subjects (47 males and 80 females) attended it. The results suggested that there was the speech preferred without the gender difference and preferred by one gender. We then analyzed the correlation between subjective scores and five acoustic features: fundamental frequency, formant frequency, amplitude difference, spectral centroid and spectral tilt. In female subjects, statistically significant correlations were observed in all features. In male subjects, significant correlation was observed only in spectral tilt. In particular, correlation in spectral tilt showed the inverse trend between male and female subjects. These results suggest that the spectral tilt is effective in the gender difference.

In the nineteenth century, Britain possessed two important bases for its “free trade policy” in Southeast and East Asia—Singapore and Hong Kong. The success of the British free trade policy in these regions hinged on their ability to make Singapore and Hong Kong flourish. To achieve this end, the colonial governments had to overcome two obstacles: the problem of raising revenue and the maintenance of public order. As both Singapore and Hong Kong were free ports, the colonial governments were prevented from collecting revenue through tariffs. Thus, somehow they had to obtain revenue from the local populace, which in both cases was mainly Chinese. With respect to public order, both administrations had to deal with crimes, riots, and strikes engaged in by the Chinese. In this paper, I try to reveal how the British colonial governments in Singapore and Hong Kong dealt with these issues of revenue raising and policing. In terms of revenue-raising, I examine the importance of the opium farming system under the two administrations; with regard to public order, I investigate how the Chinese secret societies were policed. By comparing practices in these colonies, I aim to describe the character of colonial rule in Singapore and Hong Kong and how it reflected the British “free trade policy.”

The levels of stress-related hormones in the blood were measured before and after doing Qi Gong health-maintenance exercises, and a control group of walkers with a similar level of movement selected for the basis of a comparative study. The adrenaline, noradrenaline and growth hormone responses of the Qi Gong group were compared with the pre-exercise values. Although no significant difference was observed immediately after exercise, there was a significant drop in all values 30 minutes after exercising. Similar changes in the blood cortisol were noted in the Qi Gong group and walker group. Compared with the pre-exercise value, both group exhibited significant reduction in blood cortisol both immediately following exercise and 30 minutes after exercise, with the lowest value occurring 30 minutes after exercise. In contrast to the increase in stress-related hormones typical after light exercise that was seen in the walker group, the significant reduction response seen in the stress-related hormones of the Qi Gong group with the similar amount of movement was seen as unusual. This suggested that Qi Gong may be a positive means of stress-reduction and a useful health-maintenance method in today's stressful society.
