    This study purports to investigate the characteristics and the trends of studies on American Home Economics by analyzing two journals, i.e., Journal of Home Economics and Home Economics Research Journal. Papers used for this study were selected by analyzing the items appearing in their contents. The results are as follows :
    (1) Items composing the contents of the two journals were very diverse. They were broadly classified into three categories : (1) Research and Articles, (2) AHEA Today, and (3) Departments.
    (2) Of the 5, 765 papers selected, they were based on the topic Research and Articles, and consisted of pure research papers and their equivalents for analysis.

    In the previous report, we selected appropriate papers for this study. In this report, we try to analyze those papers by classifying them in terms of chronological order and subject-matter areas.
    The results are shown below :
    (1) The number of papers from 1920's to 1930's is very small, while papers from 1940's to 1970's are relatively numerous.
    (2) The number of papers on Philosophy of Home Economics and Home Management hasn't changed much in the whole period. The number of papers on Food-Nutrition and Home Economics Education is decreasing. There is an increase in the number of papers on other subjectmatter areas.
    (3) By the analyses based on the proportion of 10 subject-matter areas, the period from 1910's to 1980's can be divided into three. The first period is from 1910's to 1930's. The feature of this period is attaching importance to Food-Nutrition and Home Economics Education. The second period is 1940's in which we see some traits of a transitional stage. The third period is from 1950's to 1980's. The feature of this period is that the difference in percentage of 10 subjectmatter areas is small.

  • Relating to Home Education

    The purpose of this study is to discuss how children develop their concept of money. In this article, we discuss the relationship of home education to the child's concept of money based on data compiled from 224 mother-child pairs (102 kindergarteners and 112 3rd grade elementary school pupils).
    The study revealed the following :
    (1) There are different outlooks on home education between mothers and children. Mothers think they educate their children in daily life, yet children don't receive educational messages from their mothers. As children develop, it becomes easier to receive advice about how to use money and not to waste, though it is difficult even for 3rd grade elementary school pupils to receive suggestions on the relationship of money and labor.
    (2) On the concept of money, we can find little relation between the mother's answer and the child's answer. Kindergarteners partly tend to be more influenced by their mothers than older children.
    (3) The majority of 3rd grade elementary school pupils is “steadily oriented traditional response type” on the concept of money, and that of their mothers is “social related human oriented saving type.”
    (4) In the case of mothers, their concepts of money is “personal related object oriented consuming type, ” their children's concept tends to be “fame oriented traditional response type.” The mothers who recognize that they don't give their children advice or suggestions, also recognize that their children don't help in home life and complain about allowance. They tend to have children who are “steadily oriented trend adaptable response type.”

    The volumenometer which could measure volume of solid samples simply was designed and made on an experimental basis. The volumenometer has some advantages described as follows : restrictions due to form and size of the samples is not severe, and the time taken to measure the sample volume is within 1 min. The accuracy was evaluated by measuring Au, quartz and single crystal of Al2O3 with some volumes. Moreover, specific gravity of beans was measured as an working example.

    The effects of microwave heating on oxidative deterioration of neutral lipids and phospholipids in pacific saury fillets were investigated in comparison with the effects of convection heating (heating in an electric oven). Oxidative deterioration was evaluated by the measurement of hydroperoxide and carbonyl value, fluorescence intensity, browning degree, and the changes of fatty acid composition.
    The oxidative deterioration of neutral lipids in fish meat did not proceed significantly by heating, and there was not much difference between microwave and convection heating. But the oxidative deterioration of phospholipids in fish meat significantly proceeded by heating, and the effects of microwave heating were much larger than those of convection heating. These results suggest that we can plainly see the uneven heating parts of food heated in microwave oven as thermal oxidation of phospholipids involves brown discoloration.

    The rice miso used in the experiments contained a protein of 53, 000 daltons with α-amylase activity.
    The α-amylase in the miso suspension was found relatively stable at higher temperatures, that is, active upto 75°C at 10-15% miso concentration, upto 80°C at 40%, upto 85°C at 50-60% and 90°C at 80%.
    The addition of sugar to miso at more than 30% in weight increased the thermostability of the miso α-amylase.
    The miso α-amylase was inactivated at lower pHs brought by vinegar addition. However, the α-amylase activity was kept even at low pHs where the sugar was added to miso at more than 150% in weight.

    The purposes of this study were to clarify : 1) the flaring effect of skirts on silhouettes by using different lengths of hem-line (that is, waist size remains constant while hem-lines vary from 3 times to 6 times the waist size respectively); 2) what types of flared skirts were favored from data in the sensory evaluation procedure. The skirts were produced by three kind of fabrics.
    The results obtained were as follows : 1) As the length of the hem-line of the flare was increased, the length of the side line tended to increase also, while the length of the center line increased when the hem-line length was up to 4 times the waist size and came to a constant value after that length; 2) The wave-height also showed a tendency to increase when the hem-line length was up to 4 times the waist size. The minimum values of the variation ratio of wave-height varied from each other according to the different types of fabrics; 3) The sensory evaluation showed that the shorter hemline was not favored. The most favorable length for the hem-line was not found because different types of fabrics produced different favored hem-line lengths.

    By Missouri Type Simulator, dynamic water vapor transports in transient state were investigated for surface modifications (to hydrophilic or hydrophobic) fabrics made of polyester, acrylic, cotton and wool fibers.
    In the case of water vapor (insensible perspiration), the water vapor absorption characteristic of fibers seems to be the most important factor which determines the water vapor transport rate. The surface modification does not influence the water vapor transport rate, because water vapor transports through air space between fibers, and is absorbed bulk of fibers.
    In the case of sweating, which liquid water contact the first layer of fabrics, the wicking or liquid water absorbing characteristic of the first fabric layer is the dominant factor which determines the water vapor transport behavior of a layered fabric system. By spreading out liquid phase water in a wider area and depth quickly, dissipation of water is accelerated. Therefore the surface modifications of fabrics significantly alter water vapor transport properties.

    In this report, we analyzed the residents' usage, evaluations, and needs of common spaces, common facilities, and life-support services in high-rise apartment. The main results were as follows :
    (1) Residents with children under 12, and with sociability often used common spaces on the 1st floor (rounge, playroom, and toilet), and common facilities (observationroom, hobbyroom, and A.V. room).
    (2) Households of which the heads were over 50, singles, couples with no children, and unsociable peoples didn't use them so often.
    (3) Residents evaluated their spaces and facilities high, but they pointed out some problems of security, amenity, and convenience.
    (4) The center for the life-support services were well used. The most popular services were D.P.E., sending luggages, selling stamps, copy, and laundry.
    (5) Common facilities which residents wanted to use with paying some costs were sports facilities (tennis court, swimming pool, etc.), guest rooms, and storerooms. And they wanted a service of receiving deliveries for them during their absence, besides many popular services offered now.
