To examine the aesthetic properties of pantyhose, an image analysis and wear experiment were carried out. We analyzed both the area ratio of light, medium, and dark lightness areas and the position of three areas in the distribution of lightness difference between legs with and without pantyhose fabric. The data was used to determine what effect these two variables have on the visual appeal of legs in pantyhose. Moreover, we examined the relationship between pantyhose size and women’s leg size on the attractiveness of legs in pantyhose made from single covered yarn with colored polyurethane core yarn. The results showed that, for the enhanced visual appeal of legs in pantyhose, (1) the area ratio and position of three areas in the distribution of lightness difference were very important factors; (2) it was desirable to design and produce the appropriate size of pantyhose for various sized legs in order to enhance their attractiveness.

オンチャネルは生理的に重要な機能を有しており,創薬の標的としても非常に魅力がある.しかしイオンチャネル創薬研究は他の分野に比べ未開拓であり,その中でも電位依存性イオンチャネルは研究の難しさから特に遅れている.電位依存性イオンチャネルの創薬研究でも1次スクリーニングには蛍光測定法のような多検体評価の可能な系,2次スクリーニングはより信頼性が高く,生理的条件で情報の得られるパッチクランプ法を用いることが推奨される.しかし,従来のパッチクランプ法では熟練した研究員でも1日に多くて10化合物程度しか評価できず,スループット性は低い.このために電位依存性イオンチャネルの創薬研究の発展は著しく阻害されていた.しかし,最近オートメーションパッチクランプ法が開発され,電位依存性イオンチャネルの創薬研究も新たに活況を呈するようになってきた.hERGチャネルは薬剤によるQT延長,不整脈誘発の危険性に最も深くかかわっており,探索研究初期からそのリスク排除のための検討が必要である.我々は化合物によるhERGチャネル抑制作用検討のため,hERGチャネル安定発現細胞の樹立,高速スクリーニング法として蛍光膜電位測定法,また2次スクリーニング法としてIonWorks HTシステムを用いたオートメーションパッチクランプ法の構築を試みた.蛍光膜電位測定法は非常に高いスループット性を有するが,false negative/positiveの割合も高い.一方IonWorks HTを用いたオートメーションパッチクランプは従来のパッチクランプと比較しても同等の精度で電流の記録が可能であり,化合物のIC50値もよい相関を示した.しかし一部の化合物ではIC50値の乖離も見られ,今後更にシステムの改良も必要である.以上のように電位依存性イオンチャネル創薬技術にはまだ課題もあるが,大きな可能性が開けてきた.

Objectives: This study was conducted to elucidate the correlation among dietary intake, dietary preferences, and social-psychological factors in the youth and to examine the factors that affect such dietary behaviors as snacking, skipping breakfast, and taking a biased nutrition. Methods: A survey was carried out using a questionnaire with closed questions on multiple items such as dietary behaviors, psychosocial stress, dietary externalization, information and consciousness about health. The survey was conducted on 1,056 high school students and 1,323 university students in Japan. Results: As a result of the factor analysis among the groups of male/female and high school/university students, relationships were found between the items of “preferences for snacking” and “snack food intakes” among all these groups. Those who like sweets and snacks tended to snack between lunch and dinner or after dinner by themselves more often than those who do not. In contrast to men, intermediate correlations were found between the item of “a meal as a diversion” and each of the items of “snack food intake,” “preferences for fried foods/sautéed foods/meat dishes,” and “preferences for snacking,” among women who do not live alone, regardless of their being high school or university students. The item of “stress over human relationships/academic performance” was shown to have similarly weak correlations with the items of “reasons for skipping breakfast” and “nutrition intake” in the groups of male and female high school students. The less they value nutrition intake, the more they tend to be conscious of stress over human relationships/academic performance.

The composite images in virtual studios as used by broadcast stations require that unnatural sensations be minimized real time characteristics be maintained. If the lighting conditions of captured images do not match those of computer graphics (CG), however, the composite image will appear unnatural to viewers. In response to this problem, we used projectors to reproduce the CG lighting environment in real space with the aim of reducing this unnatural feeling caused by unmatched lighting conditions. At the same time, chroma keying, the conventional video composite technique, does not allow for the setting of any lighting conditions on the real space side, thereby preventing the proposed light big reproduction technique from being applied to a virtual studio. For this reason, we developed a new video composite technique. The technique that uses transmission retro reflective material, an infrared camera placed at a conjugate position with respect to a color camera, and infrared lighting to remove the constraint conditions associated with the chroma key technique. In this paper, we formally propose this new technique and demonstrate its effectiveness.

This study explores how to use geospatial information for residential safety and security activities, such as patrolling a community, from the perspective of PPGIS. The study takes Shino-town, Kameoka City as a case study, where a neighborhood community association held a workshop in 2009 for residents to collect geospatial information for use in disaster prevention and daily security. Because they made a hard-copy “Safety-security Map,” we first converted it into a web-based map with functions that help a user prepare a walking route using Google Maps API. Using the web-based map, some Kameoka residents developed routes for patrolling the community. Then, we walked through the routes with them, conducting interviews on how they felt about risks and attractive features along the routes. Analyzing the results of the field research and interviews, we identified substantial differences in risk perception and interest in the possibility of using web-based safety-security maps by local community residents. Compared to the male representative group of the residents' association, female members of the welfare commission and the PTA representative group were more interested in community safety and disaster prevention information, and the web-based map containing information. They hope to use the web-based map to exchange information among residents. Besides, they showed a keen interest in using the web-based map for walking exercise to raise their awareness of community-safety and disaster-prevention information on a daily basis. It is vital to integrate different interests and needs for safety-security geospatial information of local resident groups to carry out effective residential safety and security activities.

In the early postwar period as instability across Southeast Asia threatened to engulf the region, Japan and Great Britain frequently took divergent approaches vis-à-vis regional geopolitical developments. Indonesia's belligerent policy of militarily and politically confronting Malaysia from 1963-66 can be seen as a clear case in point where Japan and Britain saw a potentially dangerous crisis in a starkly different light, quickly becoming a point of contention between diplomatic officials in Tokyo and London.While Britain responded forcefully in military terms to the increasingly bellicose Sukarno by massing troops along the Malaysian side of the Borneo border, Japan saw such a hard-line approach as fraught with danger. Diplomatic officials in Tokyo saw this risky approach by Britain as not only risking war in a region strategically vital for Japan, but also as probably hastening Indonesia's leftward drift towards communist China. Moreover, Japanese officials were aware that too much external pressure on Indonesia may cause the nation to politically implode, a scenario seen as bringing the Indonesian communists to power (the PKI) and thus threatening Japan's substantial commercial investments in this country. Due to these high stakes involved for Japan, it decided to pursue a sustained policy of mediation between the key disputants.During this period of Indonesian Confrontation (‘Konfrontasi’), Japan also exasperated Britain by continuing to trade with Indonesia and by providing financial aid and investment. The Commonwealth countries that had come to Malaysia's defence (Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand) all periodically expressed the hope that Japan would use its growing commercial influence to bring pressure to bear on Indonesia to peacefully accept Malaysia. Japan however, seeing its future economic relationship with Indonesia as a key priority resisted these calls to use its aid as leverage to modify Indonesia's belligerent stance towards its smaller neighbour. This led to British officials in particular to criticize Japan over what they perceived as an overly conciliatory approach toward Indonesia.Undoubtedly, their markedly divergent policy approaches towards this Southeast Asian crisis did not help the warming of Anglo-Japanese postwar relations. Fortunately however, both sides saw enough utility in the broader relationship to not allow this issue to adversely affect bilateral relations. This ostensibly led to a grudging mutual acceptance that both Japan and Britain would frequently see the Southeast Asian region in a different light.Therefore, despite their disagreements over how to deal with Sukarno and contain Confrontation, the relationship survived intact with no permanent damage being done. This was graphically shown by the first high-level meeting between Japan and Britain shortly after the conclusion of Confrontation, where both sides had the good grace to barely raise the issue and instead focus on the many commonalities in their respective world views.

This paper reveals the ‘hidden’ United Nations' role in bringing about the ultimate demise of the Britain's formal Empire. The UN from the late 1950s onwards, with a significant increase in African membership, became a stronghold of international critics of colonialism. Contrary to the conventional image that the UN did not play much role in Britain's decolonization, newly-released archival evidence clearly shows that the dramatic downfall of international legitimacy of colonialism and the ever imminent possibility of UN intervention into UK's most sensitive colonial possessions such as Kenya and Central African Federation were constantly a real source of concern for Britain's top policy makers during the early 1960s. Though UK's sensitivity was not admitted openly, the UN anti-colonialism should be considered as one of the most decisive factors that precipitated Britain's sweeping decolonisation after 1960.The article starts with the review of postwar UK-UN relations with particular reference to the British attitude towards the rising anti-colonialism at the UN. Britain's basic policy to keep the UN hands off her colonies did not have to change until the end of the 1950s largely because Article 2 (7) of the UN charter, the domestic jurisdiction clause, effectively barred interference into the affairs of her dependent territories. The static picture changed dramatically in 1960, when the South African racial problem shook the traditional, strict interpretation of the domestic jurisdiction clause and the famous UN Resolution 1514 on colonialism was adopted by an overwhelming majority. The British then recognized the need to seriously cope with the unwelcome development at the UN and tried to secure as much cooperation as possible from her major allies such as the US. However, the prospect of UN intervention into UK's most sensitive colonies was so imminent that the only viable course left to Britain was to inevitably ‘jettison’ her remaining colonies, small or large, as quickly as possible. The episode illustrates how strong Britain's desire was to remain in the mainstream of international politics. The possibility of a break-up of the Commonwealth was a major reason why the British did not want to antagonize the anti-colonial camp at the UN. Fortunately for the British, the pressure for an ever faster decolonization receded when most of the sizable British colonies had attained independence by 1963 (Kenya). Nevertheless, the British continued to be fearful lest the issues such as Aden should be given undue attention in the UN and were no longer able to pursue a policy of an ‘orderly decolonisation’, which had characterised Britain's imperial policy up to the previous decade.

Morbilliviruses use signaling lymphocyte activation molecule (SLAM) as a receptor for their entry to cells. In this study, a complete gene encoding SLAM of a domestic cat was identified. The identity of feline SLAM with canine one was 73%, and feline SLAM formed the same cluster with those of carnivores. Furthermore, feline cell expressing feline SLAM supported growth of canine distemper virus (CDV) as well as that expressing canine one. These results indicated that feline SLAM can function as a receptor for morbilliviruses, and our established feline cells that express feline SLAM might be useful for analysis of morbilliviruses originated from felids.

近年,日本国内においてスズメ Passer montanus の個体数が減少していると言われている.その原因はわかっていないが,熊本で行なわれた先行研究では,都市部では農村部とくらべて1つがいが連れている巣立ち後のヒナ数が少なく,都市化にともなう何らかの要因がスズメの減少をもたらしている可能が示唆されている.しかし,この研究は狭い地域で行なわれたものであり,それが本当に日本全体でも起きているかはわからない.そこで2010年にこの研究と同じく,巣立ち後のヒナ数を調べる調査を「子雀ウォッチ」と銘打ち,一般市民に協力してもらう形で全国規模で行なった.その結果,全国から406の記録が集まり,それを解析したところ,巣立ち後の平均ヒナ数は,商業地で1.41羽,住宅地で1.81羽,農村では,2.13羽と,商業地,住宅地,農村の順で多くなった.この結果は前述の先行研究の結果と整合性があり,やはり都市化と関連している何らかの要因が全国規模でスズメの減少要因になっていると考えられる.この子雀ウォッチを今後もつづけ,記録を蓄積することで,スズメの減少要因の解明につながると期待できる.

Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae is pathogenic for humans, many domestic animals and wild birds, but infectious cases with clinical symptoms in cats have not been reported. E. rhusiopathiae was recovered from a 4-month Russian blue breed cat with a very poor body condition score of 1 (BCS: 1/5). The isolate was typed as serotype 2b. Mice experimentally infected with the clinical isolate of E. rhusiopathiae through subcutaneous or intraperitoneal routes survived, and the organism was recovered from the spleen and synovial and pericardial fluids. Cats experimentally inoculated with the isolate either orally or subcutaneously survived but commonly exhibited depression and emaciation together with localized erythemal lesion of the skin accompanied by purulent ocular discharge. On hematological analysis, the number of total white blood cells was high compared with that in normal cats. Histological examination revealed congestion and moderate inflammation with focal necrosis. This observation may provide insight on E. rhusiopathiae infection in cats with the possible epidemiological significance and implications as a potential source of infection to other animals and humans.
