This paper will examine how science became militarized, focusing on a few years from the late 1930s, when the plan to construct the 184-inch cyclotron emerged, through the early 1940s, when the University of California set up a system to mobilize for war.Part I will describe the close relationship that grew up between Ernest O. Lawrence(1901_1958), inventor of the cyclotron and head of the Berkeley Radiation Laboratory(the Rad Lab), and his supporter Alfred Lee Loomis(1887_1975), who, as an investment banker and amateur scientist, brought Lawrence in to contact with industrialists in the course of developing the 184-inch cyclotron. Part II discusses the way Loomis brought Lawrence into the web of military-industrial ties. The urgent need to develop a high-power, high-frequency oscillation tube, which was a component technology needed for both radar and the cyclotron, provided common ground for getting Lawrence involved in defense research. Part III will focus on the question of overhead to explore the University of California's handling of defense research contracts at a time when the government was creating a system to mobilize science and engineering for the war. This process led to the development of big science, which has the following three characteristics: the development of equipment that utilizes advanced technology; the need for enormous research funds; and the organization of researchers and thorough division of labor in the laboratory. Each of these characteristics engenders another aspect: The first leads to close cooperation between the research laboratory and industry in developing the technology; the second invites investment by huge foundations and contracts with the government and the military; and the third makes it impossible for researchers to continue their research except as part of a project and team, thereby robbing them of their independence. Some of the changes in the socioeconomic foundations of science and technology that were promoted by a special kind of coercion during the war became built into the postwar social structure in the form of the military-industrial-academic complex, making it impossible to think of postwar policy without them.

Since the telephone (RDD) poll of the day is carried out in the call center, which is highly managed, the risk of operator's error generation is low. However, this report suggests the risk of operator's error generation due to intervene of operator's judgment. It is the case that the questionnaire is not carefully examined. Now therefore, the question with an unclear meaning with a long sentence and/or an open-answer question must be avoided when there is not enough time for developing a thorough questionnaire.

In Aomori prefecture the prevailing north-easterlies have been named &ldquo;Yamase-winds&rdquo;. In warm period they accompany the cold and bad weather, and so great concern has been given them from the standpoint of agriculture.<br>The authors classified the wind directions of 10.00 JST observed at Hachinohe Weather Station for the five months from April to September, for the period of 1937-1951 and made some statistical study.<br>A. The range of wind direction and climatic characters of Yamase winds from May to August are as follows:<br>(1) The wind direction ranges from NNW to SE including E.<br>(2) The principal winds of Yamase (NE, ENE, E) are about 5&deg;C lower that of prevailing westerlies (SW, WSW, W) and about 18% wetter in relative humidity.<br>(3) Yemase-winds are more frequent than the westerlies in all kinds of weather, but the percentage of occurrence of low cloud overcast, rainy and foggy days for the Yamase-winds is greater than that for the westerlies and vice versa for the percentage of occurrence of fine and high and middle cloud overcast days.<br>(4) The duration of sunshine is generally shorter for Yamase than the westerlies, but in NE and ENE winds, sunshine is more abundant in Yamase. This may be because of the direction of the sea breezes being included in the range of Yamase-winds.<br>B. The relation between notable low temperatures and Yamase-wands. The monthly mean air tempertures corrected by the deviation of wind direction are obtained from the formula (1) (&Delta;&theta;<sub>d</sub>, <i>n</i><sub>d</sub> are mean air temperature departures and number of days for each direction. <i>n</i> is number of days a month.) and shown by the broken lines in Fig. 5. In the year of bad harvest the actual air temperature departures (full line) are 2-3&deg;C lower than the former. It is considered that these differences are due to the kind of air mass or bad weather.<br>In order to see the effect of bad weather the wind directions are classified into two groups, the Yamase winds (NNW-SE) and other winds including calm, and the kinds of weather are classified into five groups, clear, fine, high and middle cloud overcasts, low cloud overcast and rain including fog. Then the monthly mean temperature departures corrected according to weathar and wind direction are obtained by the formula (2) (&Delta;&theta;<sub>w</sub>, <i>n</i><sub>w</sub> are mean temperature departures and number of days for each kind of weather for each wind direction) and are shown by the dotted lines in Fig. 5. During the summers of 1941 and 1945, the monthly mean temperatures are much lower than these values. Therefore, it is considered that these notable low temperatures are due to the cold air mass.

Last year the harvest was poor in every district in Japan, especially in the Northeastern district of the Mainland and in Hokkaid&ocirc;. The total rice yield in the Northeastern district and Hokkaid&ocirc; is estimated as only onehalf that of normal years. There may be several causes of the poor harvest, such as typhoon, droughts, etcRI believe the poor harvest of the last year was due to low temperatures and reduced hours of sunshine. I have drawn 12 climatic maps based on data recorded in the Monthly Bulletin of the Central Meteorological Observatory, Tokyo.<br> From Figs. 7 and 8 we can easily understand that the climatic couditions that prevailed during June and July, 1931, were very unfavorable for the rice crop. The zones of -2.0 C and below it as the mean deviation of air temperature during June and July and those of -10% and below it as the mean deviation of sunshine percentage during June and July, are Aomori and Iwate Prefectures and Hokkaido. These zones correspond to the districts where the rice harvest was very poor.<br> I think that the reasons for low temperatures and lesser sunshine in Japan during June and July last year are as follows: As we can see in Fig. II, the center of the anticyclone in June was situated in the Okhotsk Sea, its barometric reading being above 761mm. Usually in June the anticyclone occupies the offing of the Sanriku district, resulting in the rainy season in Japan : but last year the center of the anticyclone migrated farther northwards and cold air was brought in by north-easterly winds.<br> During July last year the distribution of air pressure resembled that of ordinary years, but the weak high pressure zone still remained in the Okhotsk Sea, and that as many as twenty-five cyclones visited Japan, so that dull weather prevailed during nearly the whole of July. The original cause of the unfavorable climate was undoubtedly the abnormal high pressure that prevailed over the Okhotsk Sea during June last year.

アセトニトリルを溶媒にして80℃で,CuCl2の存在または不存在下で過酸化2-テノイルとヨードベンゼンとの反応を行なった。CuCl2の存在下ではヨードペソゼンの水素が置換されてヨードフェニル2-テノアート(o-:m-:p-=55:19:26)が得られ,一方,CuCl2が存在しないときはC-I結合の炭素に置換が起こりフェニル2-テノアートが生成した。CuCl2の存在下で起こる水素置換反応は,部分速度比の対数と置換基定数σ+との関係からみて,生成した2-テノイルオキシラジカルがベンゼン環に付加したシクロヘキサジエニル型ラジカルがCuCl2により酸化される機構で説明される。一方,CuCl2の不存在下ではシクロヘキサジエニル型ラジカルの分子内で2-テノイルオキシ基が転位することによりフェニル2-テノアートが生成する機構を提出した。この2-テノイルオキシ基の分子内転位については,さらにt-ブチル2-テノアートからイソブチル2-テノアートへのラジカル転位を行なって,その関連性からも検討した。

To find integrable and nonintegrable regions of the Rikitake two disc dynamo system we investigate its Painlev&eacute; property. This means we perform a singular point analysis. This analysis gives us a hint where global constants of motion exist. We also investigate related systems.

When the tsunami attacks in harbors, the vessels moored at a wharf may be unable to be evacuated. For example, it may happen the situations that the vessel is under cargo handling, the vessel has no crew or only foreign crew without knowledge of tsunami. In such a case, the following damages are assumed; breaking the mooring tether, grounding on a wharf, drifting to land areas and destroying buildings. This present paper describes the tsunami simulation and the motion analysis of vessel moored at a wharf using the MPS method (Moving Particle Semi-implicit method).In this research, the 3D-MPS method is applied. The chart of break of mooring tethers was created. The wave height of tsunami, draft of vessels and the relation of the break of the mooring tether were shown by the chart of break of mooring tethers. Then, the chart of break of mooring tethers is proposed for various scale of tsunami including the effect of incident angle of the mooring tether can be easily estimated against to the scale of tsunami and mooring system.

When tsunami attacks a harbor, the vessels moored at the wharf are exposed to a risk. For example, the following damages are assumed; breaking the mooring tether, grounding on a wharf, drifting to land areas and destroying buildings. In the previous report, the motion analysis of mooring vessels in tsunamis and the usefulness of tsunami protection measures by the install more mooring tethers (IMMT) was described using the MPS method. The incident wave angles of tsunami were used the 0 degrees (longitudinal wave) and 90 degrees (Transverse wave). For any incident angles, IMMT was effective. However, in the case of transverse wave of wave height 6.0m or more, it is possible to prevent the break of the mooring tethers, but it was confirmed that the vessels damaged by the grounding on a wharf. In the case of longitudinal wave, IMMT confirmed that it did not affect in some cases. It is influenced by the direction the mooring tether pulls. When the vessel moves, there are mooring tethers that are pulled or slacked. As a result, the mooring force does not act equally on the mooring tethers. Also, as an issue of existing papers, studies on oblique waves were not done. It is important to solve these issues.In this present paper, the influence of the oblique wave is studied. The extent of damage of longitudinal waves, transverse waves and oblique waves are compared through a numerical simulation method, the 3D MPS method. The 3D MPS method is used for numerical simulation. In this paper, quaternion is applied to the algorithm of rotational motion of the floating model. Furthermore, a more effective mooring method for longitudinal wave is proposed, and its effectiveness is demonstrated.

Rokoku is the water clock used in ancient China, and the origin goes back to thousands years ago. The multistage type Rokoku which has several vessels as the typical form can be mentioned, and the first vessels is for water supply, the middle vessels are for control of flow rate of water, and the last vessel is for time measurement. The last vessel has a float with the time scale which we can read and know time. Although researches of J. Needham or D. Price were known, the sufficient interpretation about the accuracy and the usage of Rokoku as a clock was not carried out. In this research, first the physical character of a single vessel was observed, subsequently the change of the water level of each vessel was calculated numerically, and then the static and dynamic characteristics of Rokoku were examined. Consequently, in multistage type Rokoku it was able to confirm that the vessels play an important role in controle of a water flow, a fixed quantity of water is supplied periodically when actual using, for example 2 times everyday (in the morning and in the evening), and in the case of that sufficient accuracy is secured, etc.
