Based on the results, workshops were held in three villages where the residents themselves discussed the local water environment and its future prospects using maps, and a method was developed to support residents in the preparation of local environmental targets. 【2】 A field experiment evaluated the environmental load of agricultural turbid water and revealed that "forced drainage," which is a typical rough water management technique, causes an outflow of 117 kg of paddy field soil,0.605 kg of nitrogen and 0.146 kg of phosphorus from every 0.3 ha of paddy field. When this result is applied to the entire paddy field area in the catchment area of the North basin of Lake Biwa, 11.4% of nitrogen and 27.1% of phosphorus in terms each nutrient contained in the total household wastewater, flow out in a single forced drainage event. When we consider that the south basin of the lake is likely to suffer rapid eutrophication and that phosphorus is the rate-limiting substance for the lake, agricultural turbid water potentially has a large impact on the progress of eutrophication. It is also found that soil silt from paddy fields deposited in smaller rivers causes a reduction in the dissolved oxygen concentration at the river bottom, the generation of methane gas, and other factors that lead to water pollution.
71st Annual meeting of the Japanese society of Limnology abstract.. This process has resulted in a vicious circle, namely an increasing distance between people and the water environment , a growing dependence on technical measures and the resultant difficulty in reducing loads at the drainage source level.

We proposed GIS workshops intended the stakeholders of every hierarchy to look for solutions to inter-hierarchical conflicts using the GIS database based on their own problem consciousness, and researchers verified the validity of the workshops. The GIS and the turbid water outflow simulation were combined to show the future scenario of the agricultural area and the state of Lake Biwa in a mutually interrelated manner, and a software prototype was developed to promote communication among hierarchies on the scenario level. Based on these case studies, we intended to provide appropriate proposals for the watershed management of the Lake Biwa-Yodo River watershed and to contribute to the establishment of global environmentology.

It was when I was working for Kobe City Medical Center General Hospital that I had the opportunity to take part in the ‘2002, Live Love Animals International Symposium’. I became a doctor in town to specialize in treating children’s allergies such as asthma and atopic skin problems. Increasingly I try to be mindful of the need to tailor my advice to suit the different lifestyles of the children. Aiming to maintain high quality of 三宮 整体 life for these children is undoubtedly the same thing as aiming to live with animals happily. Dr Tom Cat is well-known for his publications which have altered the veterinary practice management paradigms of this profession over the past 20 years. His first bachelor’s degree was from Montana State University ; he entered the Army from Montana and learned medical administration during three Infantry assignments, including Viet Nam.
Investigation involved researchers in social science and those in science and engineering cooperating with each other and preparing workshops or local reporting events. Coordinated research using stable isotopes and environmental indexes was conducted jointly with the CREST Project of Kyoto University. The CREST Project has also started research on foreign water systems, for example in Mongolia, in addition to that on domestic systems including the Lake Biwa-Yodo River watershed. 【1】 The stable isotopic ratio of sulfur and strontium was investigated for 41 rivers flowing into Lake Biwa,and it was revealed that small rivers in the eastern lakeside area, where agricultural activities are very prosperous, are the main cause of recent water quality changes in Lake Biwa.
Our proposal is to use density ratio estimation methods to estimate the transition density ratio and the least squares method with regularization to estimate the state-dependent cost and the value function that satisfies the relation. Our method can avoid computing the integral such as evaluating the partition function. A simple numerical simulation of a pendulum swing-up shows its superiority over conventional methods. We further apply the method to humans’ behaviors in performing a pole balancing task and show that the estimated cost functions can predict subjects' performance in new trials or environments.

Therefore various applications of smartphones are proposed in commercial and academic studies. This study proposed and develops a new robot platform using a smartphone, called Smart Phone Robot, aiming the development platform of the home robot in the future. To achieve this goal, we design a new hardware system for the smartphone robot and propose software architecture necessary for the control application of the robot. Compared to the robot developed in FY2012, we upgrade the hardware with the Android phone with Nexus 4, an Android compatible interface board, IOIO OTG, the HUB-EE wheels with built-in motor, motor controller and rotary encoder, and a wireless chargeable battery.

On the other hand, it is little known what sites are phosphorylated by a specific kinase and what extracellular stimuli activate the protein phosphorylation via intracellular signaling cascades, which is a fundamental step to reveal the complete picture of signaling pathways of cellular functions. Prof. Kozo Kaibuchi recently developed a new methodology for screening the target phospholyrated sites of a given kinase using the mass spectrometry, and succeeded in identifying hundreds of phosphorylated sites of representative kinases such as PKA, MAPK, CaMKII and so on. Aiming at facilitating to extract scientifically significant information from a bunch of the data, we developed a database platform for phosphoproteomics under the collaboration with Prof. Kaibuchi. Diagnosis of depression is currently based on long interviews. We investigate how subtypes can be identified and how they can be categorized so as to provide a basis for adequate treatment methods.
