This paper presents an improvement of the current wind zone map of the Philippines. The Generalized Extreme Value (GEV), Gumbel and point process models were used in characterizing the extreme wind speeds in the Philippines. Available daily maximum wind data from 50 stations in the Philippines were also used in the analysis. The results show that the standard errors in the point process model are lower than the GEV or Gumbel models making it a better model. Finally a regional wind zone ( zones) was developed using extrapolated 30, 40 and 50 year return wind speeds from the point process approach. Wind zone maps were developed using kriging interpolation method of ArcGIS Geostatistical Analyst.

This study has been made to analyze and explain the status of transportation, both railroad and road, of the Chûgoku District, Western Honshû, primarily based on seven maps which have been made by the author. The seven maps are as follows: Volume of Railroad Freights Transported (Map 1), Volume of Railroad Freights Shipped Out by Stations (Map 2), Volume of Railroad Freights Shipped In by Stations (Map 3), Number of Railroad Passengers Transported (Map 4), Traffic Volume of Automobiles (Map 5), Traffic Communities Established by Railroad Passengers ( ), Traffic Communities Established by Automobile Traffic (Map 7).
Map 7 shows the Chûgoku District divided into some 100 first-order traffic communities of a small size. These first-order traffic communities form in the aggregate seventeen second-order traffic communities focused on the local central cities. The seventeen second-order traffic communities are included in turn in the four larger traffic communities of third-order each being centered on Hiroshima, Shimonoseki, Hamada, and Matsue. Since the traffic communities established by automobile traffic make a considerable contrast to those by railroad transportation, the author wishes to establish a more thoroughly comprehensive hierarchical network of transportation by considering both railroad and road transportations simultaneously.

In recent years, many potent progestins have been made available for clinical use. In this paper, research on estrogenic and anti-estrogenic activities of progestins is presented.
Estrogenic activities of test compounds were measured by the uterotrophic effect in immature mice⁵⁹⁾ and by vaginal cornification in spayed rats.⁶⁰⁾ From experimental data obtained, synthetic progestins were classified in two groups, namely, estrogenic and nonestrogenic progestins. 17α-ethynyl-19-nortestosterone (ENT), 17α-methyl-19-nortestosterone (MNT), 17α-ethynyl-5 (10) -estrenolone (EEO), 17α-ethynyl-4-estrene-3β, 17β-diol-diacetate (EEDDA) and 17α-ethynyl-estrenol (EEL) which showed marked uterotrophic effects were classified in the former, and progesterone, 6-dehydro-retroprogesterone (Δ⁶RP), 6α-methyl-17α-acetoxyprogesterone (), -dehydro-6-methyl-17α-acetoxyprogesterone (), -dehydro-6-chloro-17α-acetoxyprogesterone (Δ⁶CAP) and 17α-allyl-estrenol (AlEL) which showed no such effect, in the latter. By vaginal smear test, estrogenic effects were also observed with ENT and MNT. But the cornified cell-appearance induced by ENT was slightly different from that induced by MNT. To clarify these differences, 17α-ethynyl-estradiol (EED) and 17α-methyl-estradiol (MED) were also examined. Similarity of the effects on the cornified cell-appearance was observed between ENT and EED, and between MNT and MED. Since these estrogenic progestins were proved capable of converting into 17α-substituted estradiol in vivo, the resulted compound might be expected to play some role on the estrogenic effect. However, 17α-ethynyl-5α-androstane-17β-ol-3-one, which theoretically did not convert to EED, showed cornification in the Allen-Doisy test. This suggests that estrogenic effects of progestins are due not only to converted estrogen but also to the other metabolites and original compouuds.
Besides estrogenic effects, all tested progestins have inhibitory activities upon estrogen-induced uterine growth in immature mice. Mouse uterus, fully grown by the administration of 0.3μg of estrone, decreased its weight with simultaneous administration of synthetic progestins. The decrease was parallel with the dose of administered progestins.However, when estrogenic progestins were used for the inhibitory agents, maximal effect was obtained with the dose of 30-300μg and a larger dose had no more inhibitory effect. The maximally depressed uterine weight obtained with the combined administration was almost identical with maximally grown uterine weight by a single administration of these estrogenic progestins. (Fig. 8) The depressed uterine weight with large doses of progestin was not affected by the additional 1-3μg of estrone (Table 7). These antagonizing effects were similarly observed in the hexesterol treated mice (Table 6).
Antagonizing effects of estrogenic progestins in the dose of 10-100μg against estrogeninduced vaginal cornification in spayed rat, were not recognized. However, 100μg of nonestrogenic progestins, progesterone and Δ⁶CAP, showed antagonizing effects (Table 11 & 12).
While androgens were also reported to increase the uterine weight of immature mice, uterotrophic activities of estrogenic progestins were compared with that of estrogens and androgens. Histrogically, most remarkable changes were observed in endometrial epithelium. Estrone as well as EED induced high columnar, estrogenic progestins columnar, non-estrogenic progestins and testosterone cuboidal, and estrone in combination with progesterone columnar epithelium (Fig. 5 & 6, Photo. 1-7). Radio-autography of dissected uterus revealed that the ³H-thymidine uptake in the uterus was increased markedly by estrogens,

In this paper the rangse of two species of mosses are treated. 6. Pterobryum arbuscula Mitt. Pterobryum arbuscula belongs to one of the most remarkable epiphytic mosses as is commonly found in the primeval foreset in Japan. At present Pt. arbuscula is known from 137 localities, viz. 1 in Hokkaido, 3 in N. E. Honshiu, 23 in M. Honshiu, 47 in S. W. Honshiu, 28 in Shikoku and 49 in Kiushiu. So far as the present state of our knowledge is concerned, this species has its northern limit at Oboro (43°03′L.N.) in Hokkaido and its sourthern limit in Yakushima (30°15′L.N.). The Macrofrequency of this species in each district is shown in table 5. As will be seen from and table 5,the centre of the distribution seems to exist in Shikoku and Kiushiu. According to my knowledge, its highest elevation lies in Mt. Yatsugatake ascending to 1820 m. above sea level and its lowest elevation lies at Oboro, Hokkaido, descending to 40m. above sea level. Area geogr. Endemic to Japan. 7. Theriotia lorifolia Card. The genus Theriotia was established by CARDOT in 1904,based upon the sterile specimen which was collected by FAURIE at Quen-San in Corea. CARDOT in his paper put this genus belonging to the Calymperaceae, suggesting that it represents a peculiar structure of the leaves. BROTHERUS afterwards (1909&1925) removed it into the Diphysciaceae, as closely allied to the genus Diphyscium. The genus is monotypic and the habitat of this plant is of unusual interest, because the plant is only found at wetty or submerged silicious rock-bed. At present Th. lorifolia is known from 61 localities, viz. 7 in M. Honshiu, 40 in S. W. Honshiu, 4 in Shikoku, 8 in Kiushiu and 2 in Corea. So far as our present knowledge goes, this plant has its northern limit at Quen-San (39°10′L.N.) in Corea and its southern limit in Yakushima (30°15′L. N.). [table] The macrofrequency of the species in each district is shown in table 6. As will be seen from map 7 and table 6,the centre of its distribution lies in S. W. Honshiu. According to the present knowledge, this plant seems to be one of the Japamurian species), its highest elevation lies at Mt. Ishizuchi ascending to 1640m. above sea level and its lowest elevation at Miyajima descending to 60 m. Area geogr. Endemic to Corea and Japan.[table]

The present paper considers chaotic synchronization in a network consisting of Bernoulli maps with a time-delay connection. We demonstrate that a connection strength and a map parameter at which chaotic synchronization occurs can be systematically designed, even for cases in which the connection delay, the number of maps, and the detailed topology information are unknown. The primary advantage of the proposed design is that the designed connection strength and map parameter are valid for any connection delay. This result is due to the fact that the stability of the synchronized state is the same as that of a time-invariant linear system having both an uncertain dimension and an uncertain parameter. For such a linear system, it is quite difficult to obtain the necessary and sufficient condition of the stability. However, a simple sufficient condition enables us to provide the design. The analytical results are confirmed through numerical examples.

The current paper presents an improved bandgap voltage reference (BGR) that utilizes curvature-corrected current generators which compensate for the voltage reference at lower and higher temperature range. The voltage reference is operated with a supply voltage of 2.5V to achieve an output reference of 1.1835V. The temperature coefficient achieved from the circuit is 1.342ppm/°C, resulting from temperature changes between -50°C to 125°C, sixfold improvement from first-order BGR. The proposed circuit is simulated using Silterra 0.13µm CMOS technology.

The thermal behavior of various copper cyclo-phosphates, Cu₂P₄O₁₂·8H₂O (P_4m), Cu₃P₆O₁₈·12H₂O (P_6m2), and Cu₄P₈O₂₄·18H₂O (P_8m), was investigated using TG-DTA, HPLC, and X-ray diffraction analysis. P_4m decomposed perfectly to ortho-(P₁), pyro-(P₂), and insoluble highpolyphosphates (P_{high poly}) with the elimination of water of crystallization. With an increase in temperature, P₁ and P₂ condensed to Phigh poly, in part, to cyclo-tetraphosphate. The decomposition of P_4m proceeded faster under humid air than dry air. P_6m also decomposed to short-chain phosphates and P_oligo (n=7-14), further to P₁, P₂, and P_{high poly}. Although the water vapor accelerated the decomposition of P_6m, it prevented the formation of cyclo-tetraphosphate. P_8m lost the most of water of crystallization to decompose to P₁ and P₂. The formation of cyclo-tetraphosphate was observed at 300°C. The amount of cyclo-tetraphosphate increased with an increase in temperature. Under a higher water vapor pressure, the decomposition of P_8m proceeded rather faster than under a lower one, while the rate of condensation reactions to P_{high poly} slower than under the higher one. At 450°C, no difference in the effect of atmosphere on the amounts of cyclo-tetraphosphate and P_{high poly} was observed.
