 The aim of this study is to clarify the design method of “Biodiversity-Friendly Architecture” all over the world. Biodiversity-Friendly Architecture is defined as the architecture and the construction that cares for both animals and people. 99 samples of Biodiversity-Friendly Architecture were collected and this BFA includes animal life such as, mammals, birds, insects, and so on (Table 1).
 First, the background viewed from habits of the animals, the composition of the animal space, the corresponding to habits of the animal, the adjustment to the relation between people and animal, the purpose of BFA construction, the surroundings, and construction material are extracted from the articles and drawings. The habits of animals can be classified <fragmentation of habitat>, <deficiency of nesting place: top, chink, narrow space, cave, on cliff, below cliff, precipice, combination> (Fig 2). The composition of BFA is defined by the features of space and life. The features of space can be classified <rope>, <vertical>, <horizontal>, <U-shaped>, and <enclosure> (Table 2). The features of animal life can be defined by space usage and layout. The space usage can be classified <individual> and <common>, and the layout can be classified <single>, <aggregation>, and <dispersion> (Table 3). The corresponding habits of the animals can be classified as <surroundings>, <internal environment>, <shelter from rain and wind>, <height>, <posture>, <territory>, <entrance>, and <shelter from natural enemy> (Table 4). The adjustment to the relation with people which are reflected in the BFA can be classified as <townscape/landscape>, <adding human use>, <recycle material>, <management>, <mass production> and <visual attraction> (Table 5). The purpose of BFA construction can be classified as <work>, <product>, <observation> and <collision avoidance> (Table 6). The surroundings around BFA can be classified as <buildings>, <buildings and nature>, <farm> and <nature> (Table 7). The main material can be arranged as <stone>, <brick>, <wood>, <metal>, <concrete>, and <excetera> (Table 8).
 Second, all samples are investigated with integrating the corresponding to habit of animal with the composition, based on the background viewed from habits of animal life and the types of animals (Table 9).
 Finally, the design method for “Biodiversity-Friendly Architecture” were clarified as the unification of considerations for animal life and people; I Controling the distance between animal and people, II Linking the networks of things around people and animal by material, III Making sustained mutual benefit for people and animal, IV Maintaining without people, V Making animals obvious, VI Adapting animals to people's living environment.

Escherichia albertiiは2003年に新たに命名された新興人獣共通腸管感染症細菌である。近年国内では，患者数100名を超える規模の集団食中毒事例が複数報告されている。本菌は腸管病原性大腸菌と同様，付着因子インチミンをコードするeae遺伝子を保有するが，一部の菌株が腸管出血性大腸菌（EHEC）の主要病原因子である志賀毒素2（stx2a, stx2f）遺伝子を保有することも明らかになったことから，注意を要する細菌であると言える。しかしながら，本菌の基本性状についての情報は乏しく，検査法も確立されていなかったため，本菌感染症の発生状況，感染源，感染経路など未だ不明な点が多い。著者は，継続的に行ってきた細胞膨化致死毒素産生大腸菌の分子疫学研究の中での偶然の発見がきっかけで本菌の研究を始めることとなった。これまでの研究では，本菌の検出，分離，同定を高精度に行える方法を構築し，この方法を用いて本菌の自然宿主の同定を目的とした保菌動物の調査を行ってきた。本稿では，これらの成果について紹介したい。

The purpose of this research is to infer when in the process of human evolution septum deviation occurred, taking notice of the fact that a high incidence of the septum deviation is found in man, while a septum of anthropoid ape is vertical.
It is said that the ancestor of hominoid had evolved into the Modern man, from a kind of primates like an ape through the processes of the Australopithecus, the Pithecanthropus, the Neanderthal man and the Modern man respectively.
At which stage of the frocess of human evolution did the formation of the septum deviation occur?
We cannot learn at all any configuration of the nasal chambers of the fossil hominoids between the Australopithecus and the Neanderthal man through their skulls. Consequently in order to find out their configurations, therefore, I studied inductively the following three aspects:
I) The comparative anatomical study on a septum
II) Study on the septum deviation in man in various respects
III) Study on the morphological relationship and transition of the fossil hominoid skulls, especially in the brain skulls and the face skulls, referring to the documents.
The purport of the above third (III) study with the documents on the skulls of the fossil hominoid is as follows;
1) From the Australopithecus to the Neanderthal man, their brain cases are long mainly anteriorly and posteriorly ; so the brain skull of the Neanderthal man is markedly dolichocephalic.
2) The brain volume of the Neanderthal man is as large as the present man's or larger. But the maxillo-facial skull of the Neanderthal man is more primitive than the Present man's and similar to the Pithecanthropus'.
3) The remarkable transition in the evolutional process of the Neanderthal man to the Modern man are the brachy-cephalizafion of the brain skull, the formation of the forehead and the progressive reduction of the brow ridges and the maxilla (prognathion)
4) Therefore, it can be thought that, in form of the brain skull of the Neanderthal man to the Modern man, different kinds of transitions than ever before had occurred, and furthermore ; that at the Neanderthal stage the brain skull had started to involve an active effect on the maxillo-facial skull.
Eventually, I concluded from the above three studies that the formation of the septum deviation in man occurred at the Neanderthal stage.
