Tokyo Gakugei University. Koganei. Tokyo, 184 Japan This report is the comparative study about the distribution of skin temperature, clothes climate, and moisture under clothes, when dress and kimono are worn in heat environment and warm environment. Five healthy female are chosen as models. The surrounding temperature is set on condition of 20°C and 30°C. Skin temperature on each part of the body are measured by a thermister-thermometer. A thermography is also used in this experiment, and the temperature distribution of the body surface is distinguished by the photographs. The conclusion is as follows: 1. The skin temperature under kimono was higher than that under dress, especially the remarkable difference being shown on waist breast and legs. 2. The temperature and the moisture under kimono are much higher compaTed with dress. 3. In summer it is much comfortable to wear dress than kimono. 4. In winter it is more comfortable to wear kimono than dress as clothing for the purpose of keeping warmth.

The response curves of middle finger skin temperature due to ice water (0°C) immersion test were measured. In order to clarify the effect of aging factor on this response curve, the comparison of those between brothers and/or between sons and their father in the same family was made. The subjects were selected from three families (O, K and Y) in Shiroishi-City, Miyagi, Japan. The measurements obtained from 8, 10 and 12-year-old boys of O family indicated the following. In growing children, the effect of aging factor on the response curve during immersion was higher first rising speed and larger rising amplitude. That of recovery process was shorter recovery time. In grown-up person, the effect of aging factor on the response curve was different ftom that in growing children. The comparison of measurements between sons and their father in each family showed that the effect was longer recovery time in recovery process.

Neuron model is one of estimating method of structure producing any physiological phenom-ena I introduce technique to make a neuron model with hard wear, i.e., Operational Amplifier (OP AMP) & Transister Transister Logic (TTL). Fundamental neuron-circuit is shown in Fig. 1, Neuron model, which has characteristics as the neuron-circuit, designed with hard wear is shown in Fig. 2. This model involves neural characteristics; (1) summation of EPSP (IPSP), (2) firing threshold of impulse, (3) pulse width ofimpulse, (4) refractory period, (5) impulse conduction on nerve fibre. Firing characteristics of neuron C is discussed in Fig. 3. C behaves like a AND gate or OR gate depending on the firing threshold. Oscillation circuit is discussed in Fig. 4. Analysis of oscillation circuit or the other can be soon with neuron model
