人間の腕は機構的冗長性をもつため, 手の位置・方向だけでは一意に姿勢が定まらない. ところが, 人間は日常生活においてある程度決まった上肢姿勢をとっている. このことは人間が無意識下に姿勢を決定する基準を有していると解釈できる. 著者らは, 5名の被験者の9種類の上肢動作を計測・解析し, 手首位置と肩のある回転角との間に成立する関係式を見いだすことができた. この関係は, 任意の手首位置に対する腕姿勢は一意に決まることを意味しており, 人間の上肢姿勢がもつ法則性を定式化したものであるといえる. この関係式は動作の種類や被験者が変わった場合でも成立し, 人間らしい腕姿勢の生成を可能とする.

According to the present JIS method, which describes the determination of ammonia (NH3) in flue gas, the presence of more than 10 times as much sulfur dioxide (SO2) as NH3 results in interference with the determination of NH3 by indophenol blue absorptiometry. The magnitude of interference from the coexisting sulfur dioxide and its elimination of described. The magnitude of interference was investigated using NH3 and SO2 standard gases. Both standard gases were bubbled through a 0.5% boric acid solution independently and simultaneously; 0∼200 times as much SO2 as NH3 by mole was bubbled through a boric acid solution. The absorbed NH3 and SO2 were determined by coulometry and alkalimetry, respectively. The magnitude of interference was dependent upon the amount of SO2 absorbed in the boric acid solution, not the molar ratio of SO2 to NH3. More than 100 μmol SO2 led to a serious decrease in the absorbance. In the case of a 20 liter sample, it was found that more than approximately 110 volppm of SO2 gave a lower analytical value of NH3. The interference could be eliminated by bubbling 400 ml of oxygen at a flow rate of about 70 ml min-1 through a boric acid solution containing the absorbed gas sample.

We here describe a prosimian specimen discovered from the early Middle Miocene (~15 Ma) of Nachola, northern Kenya. It is a right maxilla that preserves P4–M3, and is assigned to a new species of the Miocene lorisid genus Mioeuoticus. Previously, Mioeuoticus was known from the Early Miocene of East Africa. The Nachola specimen is therefore the first discovery of this genus from the Middle Miocene. The presence of a new lorisid species in the Nachola fauna indicates a forested paleoenvironment for this locality, consistent with previously known evidence including the abundance of large-bodied hominoid fossils (Nacholapithecus kerioi), the dominance of browsers among the herbivore fauna, and the presence of plenty of petrified wood.

Thermographic NDT technique using an active thermal stimulation method was applied for the detection of delamination defects in concrete structures. An oil heater, which can apply heat flux to the objective body by radiation and convection heat transfer, was employed for active heating. Evaporation cooling by water spray was used for active cooling. Preliminary experimental investigations were carried out for concrete specimens with artificial delamination defects. It was found that delamination defects can be detected from the thermal images, in which localized high or low temperature regions appeared above the delamination defects. Proposed technique was applied for the inspection of actual delamination defects in the concrete railway bridges. It was found that the defect shape was clearly estimated from the localized temperature region appeared in thermal images under active thermal stimulation.

Background: Although several studies have shown that blood type O is associated with increased risk of peptic ulcer, few studies have investigated these associations in Japan. We sought to investigate the association between the ABO blood group and risk of gastroduodenal ulcers (GDU) using combined analysis of both retrospective and prospective data from a large cohort study of Japanese women, the Japan Nurses’ Health Study (JNHS; n = 15,019).Methods: The impact of the ABO blood group on GDU risk was examined using Cox regression analysis to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI), with adjustment for potential confounders.Results: Compared with women with non-O blood types (A, B, and AB), women with blood type O had a significantly increased risk of GDU from birth (multivariable-adjusted HR 1.18; 95% CI, 1.04–1.34). Moreover, the highest cumulative incidence of GDU was observed in women born pre-1956 with blood type O. In a subgroup analysis stratified by birth year (pre-1956 or post-1955), the multivariable-adjusted HR of women with blood type O was 1.22 (95% CI, 1.00–1.49) and 1.15 (95% CI, 0.98–1.35) in the pre-1956 and post-1955 groups, respectively.Conclusion: In this large, combined, ambispective cohort study of Japanese women, older women with blood type O had a higher risk of developing GDU than those with other blood types.

We analytically solve a forced linear problem of vortex Rossby waves (VRWs) associated with the vortex resiliency of tropical cyclones. We consider VRWs on a basic barotropic axisymmetric vortex. VRWs, which are initially absent, are successively forced by a vertically sheared unidirectional environmental flow. The problem is formulated in the quasigeostrophic equations, linearized about the basic vortex. The basic potential vorticity (PV) is assumed to be piecewise constant in the radial direction so that the problem can be analytically solved. The obtained solutions show the following. When the vertical interaction (VI) between the VRWs is weak, a stationary mode (called the pseudo mode) is selectively forced and grows linearly in time, and the vortex is eventually destroyed by the environmental vertical shear. When the VI is moderate, an almost form-preserving quasi-mode (simply called the quasi mode) of the VRWs appears and precesses about a downshear-left tilt equilibrium (DSLTE). The precession does not grow and the vortex maintains vertical coherence. In particular, in the presence of the inward radial gradient of the basic PV at the critical radius, the precession damps and the quasi mode eventually approaches the DSLTE. When the VI is strong, the VRWs are simply advected by the basic angular velocity at each radius to be axisymmetrized to some extent about the DSLTE, and the vortex maintains vertical coherence. To examine the diabatic effect near the eyewall, the solution with the basic buoyancy frequency being small in the central region and large in the outer region is also obtained. The small and large buoyancy frequencies imply strong and weak VIs, respectively. The central VRWs are simply advected by the basic vortex flow. While, the outer VRWs precess about the DSLTE just like a quasi mode, and the vortex maintains vertical coherence.

The maintenance and management of mountain forest needs special knowledge and skill, and contains various dangerous tasks. Thus, the shortage of workers causes the problem of increasing unmanaged forests. In this research, we are developing “Teleoperated mountain forest maintenance robot system”, which assist human work semiautonomously. In this paper, we will discuss and propose a performance improvement method in recognizing process of the surrounding objects in the mountain forest environment. The experimental results illustrate the validity of the proposed method.

Background:The presence of ceramide in human coronary plaques is a risk factor for ischemic heart disease, but its visualization in the human vessel wall is currently beyond the scope of any available imaging techniques.Methods and Results:Deposition of ceramide was examined by fluorescent angioscopy (FA) and microscopy (FM) using golden fluorescence (Go) as a specific marker of ceramide in yellow plaques, which were obtained from 23 autopsy subjects and classified by conventional angioscopy and histology. Ceramide was observed by FM in 34 of the 41 yellow plaques with a necrotic core (NC) but rarely in the 28 without. Ceramide and macrophages/foam cells co-deposited mainly in the border zone of the NC and fibrous cap (FC). The Go of ceramide was seen when the fibrous cap thickness was ≤100 µm. FA was performed to detect coronary plaques exhibiting Go in patients with coronary artery disease. Ceramide was also detected by FA in 6 of 18 yellow plaques (33.3%) in 8 patients with stable angina and in 18 of 24 yellow plaques (75.0%, P<0.05 vs. stable angina) in 8 patients with old myocardial infarction.Conclusions:The Go of ceramide in human coronary plaques is detectable by FA and Go could be used as a marker of vulnerable plaque (i.e., thin FC with NC).

大学図書館のサービスは,資料中心型から利用者の活動中心型へと変容した。これからの大学図書館は,利用者の知的生産活動をいかに捕捉していくかが鍵を握る。知的生産活動を捕捉することは,必然的に「電子図書館」と「場所としての図書館」を接合させる。これを達成する新たな図書館像として,学習活動自体を「コト」の情報として保存・発信できる「記憶するラーニング・コモンズ」を提案する。本構想を実現するには,メタデータ技術からセンシング技術まで,多様な情報技術の統合的活用が不可欠である。図書館のシステム設計に対する考え方を転換し,学生の学習活動全体を支える連続的なプラットフォームの一部として捉えることが重要である。

This study aimed to develop a menadione (MD) determination method employing liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) using a pseudo multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) technique, wherein two quadrupoles are used to monitor the same ion. Detection limits of 40 and 2 pg were obtained for MD and its deuterium-labeled form, respectively, whereas MD intra- and inter-assay coefficient of variation values were determined as 5.4 – 8.2%, with the corresponding recoveries equaling 90.5 – 109.6%. The developed method enables determination of MD in urine, plasma, cell extract, and culture media, demonstrating that pseudo multiple reaction monitoring can achieve quantification of compounds forming no suitable product ions, such as MD.

Various methods were employed to measure the austenite volume fraction in a 1.5Mn-1.5Si-0.2C steel. It has been confirmed that the volume fractions determined by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy/electron back scatter diffraction, X-ray diffraction and neutron diffraction exhibit a general trend to become larger in this order, although the values obtained by X-ray and neutron diffraction are similar in the present steel because austenite is relatively stable. The austenite volume fractions determined by diffraction methods have been found to be affected by the measuring specimen direction, i.e., texture, even by applying the conventional correcting procedure. To avoid this influence, it is recommended to measure both of volume fraction and texture simultaneously using neutron diffraction. Although synchrotron X-ray shows higher angle resolution, its small incident beam size brings poor statistic reliability. The influence of texture cannot be avoided for transmission Bragg edge measurement, either, which must be overcome to realize 2D or 3D volume fraction mapping.

In this study, we compared two vibration characteristics of a car below the resonant speed, in a case, used as a motor car, and in the other case, used as a trailer. In the case of a motor car, about a half of motor weight is assumed to be unsprung weight over the trailer one. Results of the studies are as follows : -1°The natural periods of the car are not significantly different in the two cases, in both the vertical and transversal vibrations. 2°As to the vertical vibration. (1) Under 70 km/h, the heavier the unsprung weight becomes, the larger the vibration increases. (2) From 70 to 82 km/h, there are no difference. As to the transversal vibration. (3) Under 65 km/h, the vibration is larger in the heavier unsprung weight. (4) From 65 to 75 km/h, there are no difference. (5) Over 75 km/h, the vibration is rather small in the heavier unsprung weight.
