本講演では、エージェント・ベースト・モデルが社会変動論の発展に貢献することを主張する。社会変動は多くの社会学者を惹きつけてきた魅力的な研究テーマだが、マクロレベルでの分析に焦点が当てられていて、ミクロ・マクロ・リンクに着目した研究があまりなかった。例外として、今田高俊の自己組織性理論があるが、彼の理論はミクロレベルからマクロレベルへの移行の分析が弱い。エージェント・ベースト・モデルはこの移行の分析を明確に行うことができる。しかし社会変動論の主題である構造変動にこのモデルを適用しようとすると、役割概念を明確にする必要性が生じる。近年、役割概念をフォーマライズする研究がいくつか出てきているので、これらの研究とエージェント・ベースト・モデルの発想を組み合わせたモデルを開発することで、エージェント・ベースト・モデルは社会変動論の発展に寄与するだろう。

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of using a device for the self-measurement of cervical range of motion on neck pain experienced by a computer user. [Subject] A 39-year-old male subject with neck pain caused by working on a computer was selected for the study. [Methods] The instrument was developed for the study, and that the instrument is used to self-measure cervical range of movement. The subject was trained in self-measurement procedures and a self-exercise program for two months, and pain was controlled through self-assessment and a program. The pressure pain threshold for the upper trapezius muscle, and cervical ranges of motion were measured prior to and after the 2-month period of pain control. [Results] At the conclusion of self-measurement and the self-exercise program, the pressure pain threshold was higher than the initial pressure pain threshold, and all cervical ranges of motion increased compared to the initial cervical ranges of motion. [Conclusion] This result shows that the self-management device for cervical ROM is an effective tool for pain management for computer users with cervical pain.

[Purpose] The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of shoulder stability exercise on pain and function in neck pain patients. [Subjects] The study design consisted of a shoulder stability exercise group and a control group. [Methods] The effects of the therapies were evaluated using a visual analog scale of pain, a pressure pain threshold, neck disability index, cervical range of motion, and a closed kinetic chain test. Each group received treatment five times per week for 4 weeks. [Results] Pain levels showed no significant differences between groups, while pain threshold in all muscles, showed significant increases for both control groups. Neck disability significantly decreased for both groups and the differences between the groups were statistically significant. Ranges of motion and limb stability were measured before and after the exercise period. Flexion, extension, and right rotation were not significantly different between groups. The results showed no significant differences in shoulder stability between the groups. [Conclusion] The use of this exercise should have pronounced effects on pain reduction and functional improvement and should also improve the quality of life in patients with neck pain.

This study aimed to compare the pharmacokinetics of tramadol between young and middle-aged dogs. Tramadol (4 mg/kg) was administered intravenously (IV) to young and middle-aged dogs (2 and 8–10 years, respectively). Plasma concentrations of tramadol were measured using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and its pharmacokinetics best fit a two-compartment model. The volume of distribution (Vd), elimination half-life (t1/2,β) and total body clearance (CLtot) of the young group were 4.77 ± 1.07 l/kg, 1.91 ± 0.26 hr and 29.9 ± 7.3 ml/min/kg, respectively, while those of the middle-aged group were 4.73 ± 1.43 l/kg, 2.39 ± 0.97 hr and 23.7 ± 5.4 ml/min/kg, respectively. Intergroup differences in the t1/2,β and CLtot were significant (P<0.05). In conclusion, tramadol excretion was significantly prolonged in middle-aged dogs.

Allergy to laboratory animals is a well known occupational hazard and remains a health concern for individuals in contact with lab animals. This study evaluates the prevalence of allergy symptoms among medical researchers exposed to laboratory animals. We analyzed data from a cross-sectional survey, involving subjects (n=169, 21–59 yr), working in Kochi Medical School, Japan. They were asked to fill out a questionnaire to evaluate symptoms related to contact with laboratory animals. The overall response rate was 86.2%. The prevalence of laboratory animal allergy was 17.6%. The symptoms most reported were allergic rhino-conjunctivitis and asthma. A small number of the subjects received education on the allergy issue and 62.5% of subjects with an allergy to laboratory animals claimed to have atopy. Protection from animal allergens should be a high priority for institutions using lab animals; providing continuous education to animal handlers would be meaningful to reduce and control exposure.

Proteases were extracted from antarctic krill, Euphausia superba, with borate buffer at pH 8.0 They were partially purified by ammonium sulfate fractionation and gel filtration through Sephadex G-100. Further. purification performed with chromatohraphy on DEAE-Sephadex A-50 separated them into two trypsin-like proteases and a protease of unknown specificity. The trypsin-like proteases were characterized by their hydrolysis of TAME as well as the inhibition of the activity in the presence of soy-bean trypsin inhibitor. However, the inhibition of the two tryptic activities by PMSF was less than that in the case of bovine trypsin. All three proteases showed optimal activity at the physiological pH (around 8.0) of krill body fluids. They were stable only in an alkaline medium and digested carp actomyosin. These results suggest that they are responsible for the rapid autolysis of krill body protein which occurs after catching.

The autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) has been recognized as a new platform for observing the underwater world. It can dive freely around the target of the mission prescribed in its computer prior to launching.Throughout a dive, it does not require the operator and the support vessel to help it to execute its mission. It has no umbilical cable, which is fitted to remotely operated vehicles currently used for underwater operations and observations and usually causes problems for the operator. This paper presents the state of the art of the AUV and how it can be used in underwater science.

We report the first example of a µ-η1:η1-N2 dinuclear RuII complex with a polyamine ligand and elucidate the structure by means of X-ray analysis. The N≡N stretching vibration has been observed at 1994 cm−1 by Raman spectroscopy, which is the lowest value of all the known N2-coordinated RuII complexes. This low value strongly suggests the N≡N bond is primed for activation.

The relationship between acoustic emission (AE) signals and wear phenomena in severe-mild wear transition is discussed on the basis of the results of observations of wear particles and worn surfaces of steel. Each wear mode, severe wear or mild wear, is reproduced for a different sliding velocity. The influence of relative humidity on mild wear is examined. We found a reduction in the true area of contact and the size of wear particles decreases the AE signal level in severe-mild wear transition. In the mild wear mode, an increase in the number of transfer particles lying between the sliding surfaces decreases the AE signal level. Further, a linear relationship is observed between the AE mean value and the specific wear rate, regardless of the wear mode. This is because the AE signals generated by the formation and removal of transfer particles mainly originate under conditions of repeated dry rubbing.

The northeastern part of the Kantô plain, which is the largest plain in Japan, has many terraces as shown in the geomorphological map (fig. 1).In this paper, the landdforms and the geological structures of these terraces are described as below.(1) General characteristics of the terraces.The above area is divi ed into two topographic regions by the Yamizo mountain range running from north to south. The estern part is practically made up of marine Pleistocene strata. On the other hand, the western part has many river terraces which are formed by fluvial gravels and volcanic ashes.(2) Dating of the terraces by tephrochronology (tehro means volcanic ashes).During the Quaternary period, the terraces had been covered by volcanic ash layers called Kanto Loam. Presently the older terraces and the newer ones both are covered by thick and thin Loams respectively. This relationship between terrace and Loam makes it possible to date the land surfaces chronologically. Through this the author obtained the following chronological table.(3) The river terraces built by eolian volcanic ashes.The western area is chiseled off by many river terraces. In the northern part of this terraces region, the relative heights of terrace surfaces from the preseat flood plain are higher than that of the southern part. But, if the volcanic ashes on the whole terraces are stripped off, the surfaces of the terraces have practically no significant heights, In other words, the higher the terraces, the thicker the volcanic ashes are as shown in Fig. 4, In conclusion, these river terraces would be called “Eolian volcanic ash terraces”.

This paper aims to analyze the placement of punctuation marks, especially commas and periods, in relation to quotation marks.   It suggests that the most striking point within the quote-punctuation placement is the difference between the British and American usages in the case of commas and periods. Universal American usage places commas and periods inside the quotation marks, regardless of logic, while in the British usage, punctuation marks go inside quotation marks if they relate to the words quoted, outside if they relate to the main sentence. Why the difference? It appears that the British usage upholds logic, while the American one follows convention.   The findings are mainly based on the examination of articles of some major American and British newspapers as well as of stylebooks of leading U.S. wireservices.
