    Notes: Abstract An evolutional system design methodology for generating conceptual moving structural designs by computer is prognosed in which multiobjective optimization strategies are used. In this methodology, operators for evolution are defined as factors for causing evolution, so that actions by these operators on prior design solutions will generate new design solutions. Here, a number of environments are prepared, each of which has different evaluative functions expressed as multiobjective optimization problems. The evolution of design solutions thus occurs in a variety of environments. A given environment can be considered as imposing a set of criteria in which specific abilities are crucial or advantageous. Using a variety of environments to generate solutions has advantages: (1) a broader range of solutions is obtained, and (2) by moving a solution generated in one environment to a different one, additional “species” of solutions can be generated to good advantage. The proposed methodology is applied to computer-generated moving structural systems consisting of arms and joints, as well as the data for moving these structures.

    Effect of modified magnetic field on the ocean migration of maturing chum salmon, Oncorhynchus keta (1997)

    Notes: Abstract To investigate the role of magnetic compass orientation in oceanic migrating chum salmon, Oncorhynchus keta, an ultrasonic telemetry study was carried out in the western North Pacific off the coast of Kushiro, Hokkaido. Four salmon were fitted with a tag which generated an artificial magnetic field and modified the geomagnetic field around the head of the fish. Initially, the free-ranging salmon with stomach-implanted ultrasonic transmitters were tracked for a period of several hours before the magnetic field was altered for a period of 16 h. The generator produced an alternating magnetic field intensity of about 6 gauss, with polarity which reversed every 11.25 min. There was no observable effect on the horizontal and vertical movements of the salmon when the magnetic field was modified. However, it was noted that salmon slowed their swimming speed significantly before changing direction, regardless of whether the fish were swimming under the normal geomagnetic field or whether they were swimming under the modified field.

    Role of hemolysis in potassium release by iodinated contrast medium (1999)
    Springer
    European radiology 9 (1999), S. 1357-1361

    Notes: Abstract. It has been demonstrated that an iodinated contrast medium (CM) causes release of potassium into blood vessel lumina, resulting in an increase in serum potassium. The purpose of the present study was to assess whether this potassium release is due to hemolysis. Fresh human blood was mixed in vitro with CM at a ratio of 10:2. Potassium release rates were determined, and serum haptoglobin and free hemoglobin were measured after 30 min of exposure to CM. To compare the potassium release curve between CM exposure and true hemolysis induced by distilled water, fresh human blood was also mixed with distilled water. The level of serum haptoglobin decreased due to hemodilution. Changes in haptoglobin were not correlated with potassium release rates. The serum free hemoglobin level did not increase significantly, and there was no correlation between changes in the free hemoglobin level and the rate of potassium release. Hemolysis caused by water occurred instantaneously, whereas potassium release caused by CM was a slow response, which was linearly correlated with exposure time. Potassium release from blood cannot be explained by hemolysis.

    Angle-resolved photoelectron and photoion study on the shape resonance in the B 1s ionization region of BF3 (1997)

    Notes: Angle resolved photoelectron and photoion spectroscopy has been used to investigate the e′ shape resonance just above the B 1s ionization threshold of BF3. The B 1s photoelectron asymmetry parameter β is ∼0 in the vicinity of the peak of the shape resonance and increases with increase in photon energy, illustrating good agreement with a theoretical prediction. From the angular distribution measurement of energetic F+ fragments following B 1s photoionization, we have decomposed the photoionization cross section into two components σe′ and σa2″ for the B 1s→e′ parallel and B 1s→a2″ perpendicular transitions and confirmed that the shape resonance is in the e′ symmetry component. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Symmetries and dissociation dynamics of F 1s core excited states of BF3 (1997)

    Notes: Using the photoelectron–energy-selected photoion coincidence technique, we find that photoions of BF3 with kinetic energy larger than 4 eV are predominantly F+ in the F 1s ionization region whereas B+ is more intense than F+ at the F 1s→2a2″ excitation. Two partial cross sections σ|| and σ⊥ for A1′→E′ parallel and A1′→A2″ perpendicular transitions are obtained from the angular distribution measurement of energetic photoions and the symmetries of some F 1s core excited states are confirmed. The dissociation dynamics of the F 1s−12a2″ core excited state are discussed in detail. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

It has achieved frequencies as high as 636 GHz (corresponding to a wavelength of 472 μm) in second harmonic operation. Many resonances could be obtained as a single mode without competing modes. Typical output power is several hundred watts at both the fundamental and the second harmonic. At low beam currents (Ib∼0.5 A), third harmonic operation has been obtained. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: GYROTRON FU IV, a frequency tunable gyrotron for spectroscopy in the submillimeter wavelength range using a 17 T superconducting magnet, has been designed and constructed. Simulations predict that the gyrotron will emit radiation at high frequencies up to 394 GHz (TE041 cavity mode) at the fundamental of the electron cyclotron frequency, up to 858 GHz (TE091 mode) at the second harmonic and up to 1301 GHz (TE8 11 1 mode) at the third harmonic. Preliminary experimental results have demonstrated operation from 158 to 443 GHz at the fundamental and from 336 to 838 GHz at the second harmonic. Output powers are several hundred watts and efficiencies several percent. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Ultrathin Si buffer layers to improve the exchange bias between Ni–Fe and FeMn layers (1999)
    [S.l.] : American Institute of Physics (AIP)

    Notes: Ni–Fe/FeMn bilayers were deposited by using dual ion beam sputtering apparatus. In order to promote (111) orientation in γ-FeMn layers and to exhibit exchange bias field Hex, Si and/or silicon nitride (Si3N4) layers were deposited as buffer layers. Although silicon nitride (Si3N4) buffer layers did not improve (111) orientation in FeMn layers, as well as in Ni–Fe layers, an amorphous Si buffer layer only 1 nm thick improved (111) orientation in FeMn layers and increased Hex to above 100 Oe. FeMn/Ni–Fe bilayers deposited on Si(0.5 nm)/Si3N4(1 nm) bilayered buffer layer also exhibited high Hex of about 130 Oe. This result implies that the ultrathin a-Si buffer layer was effective in improving (111) orientation in Ni–Fe layers. Very thin Si/Si3N4 bilayers may be applicable as dielectric layers in tunneling magnetoresistive spin valve devices. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Measuring the Social-Care Service Needs of Impaired Elderly People in Japan (1996)
    Cambridge : Cambridge University Press
    Ageing and society 16 (1996), S. 315-332

    Topics: Medicine , Sociology
    Notes: This study aims to measure objectively and/or estimate the needs of impaired elderly persons and their families for social care services. The research was carried out in Maebashi, a medium size Japanese city. In our study, ‘impaired elderly persons’ included both physically and/or mentally impaired persons. In total, 693 impaired elderly persons and their families were classified according to 20 specific types of need: these ‘need types’ were cross-tabulated with two sets of factors: (1) Severity of impairments and (2) Difficulty of caregivers in providing the required care. A standard model of the service provision necessary for each ‘need type’ was established through group consultation with social care service professionals. Finally, the total amount of each service required in the city was calculated. Major findings are: (1) Our estimates indicate that 7.1 per cent of all persons 65 and over residing in Maebashi City were physically and/or mentally impaired to a certain degree. (2) Forty per cent of these elderly people were being cared for by caregivers who themselves had serious difficulties. (3) The demand for social care services in local Japanese cities is high. In order for this demand to be met a substantial expansion of both nursing home care and in-home care services is required.
