The revitalization fund, which has been founded since around 2001, mainly aims at investing local SMEs and then leading the revitalization of local economies in Japan. This paper first focuses on the money demand aspect and confirms the importance of the profitability of invested SMEs and the discount rate of bank-deteriorated credit transferred to revitalization funds. Utilizing the cases from the Genkidase Osaka Fund, we then confirm that the use of those funds is closely associated with a higher increase in per capita sales and a higher ratio of ending up schemes during that period.

Environmental friendliness is one of the key issues of society. Recent earth environmental concerns concentrate on easy-recycle-material-system, and the use of biodegradable polymer and natural fiber has been paid much attention in composite fields. To apply natural fibers into the structural parts with high mechanical properties, (Sheet Molding Compound) is considered desirable because that can be expected to be used in various fields in terms of high productivity and dimensional stability. In this study, instead of Carbon and Glass , the hybrid that is reinforced by jute cloth and glass cloth is expected to be able to reduce environmental burden and provide adequate strength for structural parts.
Therefore, hybrid with jute cloth and glass cloth as reinforcement was fabricated and compared with the reinforced with jute cloth. 3 point bending test, impact test and cross-sectional observations were performed. It was found that a sheet of glass cloth made is much stronger as compared with the reinforced with jute cloth only. Additionally, a sheet of glass cloth didn't affect its "Degree of Green" (ratio of the weight of the natural materials in the total composite materials). It means that the hybrid might be a good choice for eco-friendly structural parts.

In this paper, a relation between the limit value of thrust constant and size of a linear DC motor (LDM) that is moving coil type with unipolar is described. It is deduced the relation between the limit value of the thrust constant of the LDM and the dimension of the yokes. Its relation is defined as a relational equation. To maximize the rate of thrust to the volume of LDM, the magnetic flux density in the yoke is adjusted to the value of magnetic saturation. Then, the equation consists. It means that the thrust constant is in inverse proportion to the stroke and proportional to the sectional area of the center yoke. By measurement of the thrust of the LDM and result of the magnetic field analysis (finite element method), the validity of the equation is confirmed. The equation qualitatively agrees with the measurement result, and its maximum error is 26.0 percent. Then two type LDMs are designed to verify the accuracy of the relational equation. One LDM is thin (maximum thickness is 14mm) with long stroke (100mm) for pen recorder. Another LDM is for high response positioning system with strong thrust (20 N). The relational equation agrees well with measured thrust constants of these LDMs, its error is about 14 percent.

Miniaturization, increased speed, and higher accuracy for industrial positioning devices have recently been the main requests for industry upgrades. Using linear motors is an effective way to meet these requests. This paper discusses a linear DC motor (LDM) for high-speed positioning. From transfer function of LDM, it is shown that the electrical time constant and the mechanical time constant are reduced for high-speed positioning. The electrical time constant and the mechanical time constant of LDMs are considered to decrease their constants. The LDM for high-speed positioning was designed and manufactured within the overall dimensions: 72×75×62mm³. The positioning device with the manufactured LDM positions the 0.2 kilogram load within the 10 millimeter stroke in 22 milliseconds.

The role of AA metabolites in proliferation was investigated to clarify the mechanism and regulation of abnormal proliferation associated with atherosclerosis.
was cultured from gunea pig thoracic aorta. 30 to 120μM AA was incubated with confluent for 24hr. synthesized PGI₂ (6-keto-PGFα) and PGE₂ through cyclooxygenase pathway and lipid peroxides through acyclic lipid peroxidation pathway in a dose dependent manner. 1 to 90μM AA was incubated with seeded at low density (80/cm²) for 8 days. proliferation was stimulated by 1 to 16μM AA (low dose) and inhibited by 30 to 90μM AA (high dose). Hydralazine stimulated prostanoid biosynthesis and enhanced the proliferation of as low dose of AA did. 10μM indomethacin which inhibited prostanoid biosynthesis by more than 95% inhibited the proliferation of enhanced by either low dose of AA or 10μM hydralazine. This drug had no effect on the proliferation of inhibited by high dose of AA. Various antioxidants inhibited acyclic lipid peroxidation in . The proliferation of which was inhibited by high dose of AA was restored by these antioxidants.
From above results it was suggested that low dose of AA stimulated proliferation through cyclooxygenase pathway and that high dose of AA inhibited proliferation through acyclic lipid peroxidation pathway.

Several morphological reports have been published, since the so-called “supramedullary nerve cell ()” or “dorsale Zelle” was first discovered in the dorsal surface of the spinal cord in Cyclostomata by Owsjanikow (1854). However in the functional signification of the , the opinions of authors have been incongruous, namely, Kapper et al. (1939), and Hughes (1957) presumed it to be a sensory nerve cell, while Bennett et al. (1959), Hagiwar aet al. (1959), and others denied this on the basis of their electrophysiological observations. While Ishibashi recently (1962) reported that the was a sort of neurosecretory cells from the positive results of chrome-alum hematoxylin phloxine (CHP) staining preparations. Nakajima et al. (1965) are the first to study the of the puffer by electron microscopy. Since they were unable to detect a correlation between granules and elementary granules in the neurosecretory cells of the hypothalamus, they denied the theory of Ishibashi's, and concurrently reported the relationship between the and the capillaries. We have studied the fine structure of the of Spheroides Niphobles and compared our observations with those of the above-mentioned investigators.

Quiescent smooth muscle cells () obtained from atherosclerotic intima of rabbit (intimal ) received an atherogenic diet showed different proliferative activity from medial of normal rabbit aorta (medial ). Intimal kept high proliferative capacity (saturation density: 6.35±1.83×10⁴ cells/cm²) until at least 30th passage, though normal medial showed lower saturation density (1.12±0.47×10⁴ cells/cm²) and lost growth ability after 4th passage. After an initial lag phase, DNA synthesis of medial in medium containing normal rabbit serum increased rapidly with a maximum after 26 hours. Stimulation with medium containing hyperlipidemic serum did not change the kinetics of DNA synthesis. DNA synthesis of intimal in medium with either normal or hyperlipidemic serum reached maximum rate between 26 and 30 hours after medium change. DNA synthesis of medial stimulated, twice with an interval, by hyperlipidemic serum for 8 or 24 hours was significantly higher than in the control. On the stimulation by hyperlipidemic serum, intimal reacted in a similar fashion to medial . In both medium containing either hyperlipidemic or normal serum, ³H-thymidine uptake of intimal was higher than medial cells. Hyperlipidemic serum did not stimulate further DNA synthesis of both medial and intimal in logarithmic growth phase.
It appeared that enhancement of DNA synthesis by an exposure to hyperlipidemic serum in both medial and intimal did not depend upon the changes of intracellular lipid content during incubation times. However the ratio of phospholipid to free cholesterol seemed to be correlate to the increasing of DNA synthesis.
Insulin in 1 or 5μg/ml concentration stimulated to proliferation of both medial and intimal . However the stimulatory response of intimal was lower than that of medial .
Intimal had more resistibility to the cytotoxic effect of hyperlipidemic serum, measured by the ⁵¹Cr-release from cell membrane than medial . It is possible that intimal smooth muscle cells can proliferate intensely without stimulation by specific growth factor and making resistance to the cytotoxic effect of hyperlipidemic serum and induce atherosclerosis.

Most of structural FRP components are now compression-molded using (Sheet Molding Compound). are, however, characterized by considerable variations of the mechanical properties of molded parts. The advanced utilization of demands to clearify the main factors controlling the variation of properties. This paper deals with three kinds of laminates of which charge ratios were 30, 60 and 90 percents. The main results obtained in this work are summarized as follows;
(1) laminates showed the anisotropy of tensile strength which is directly related to the direction and also to the extent of flow in molding. The relation between the anisotropy of laminate and material flow was complicated due to a localization phenomenon in flow.
(2) The average and the coefficient of variation of the tensile strength of laminates were calculated by use of the mixture laws of strength and its variation in FRP and were found to agree with the experimental data. The sensitivities of each variable on the tensile strength of were computed. The simplified mixture laws of strength and its variation of were proposed, which consist of the variables having high sensitivity.

Shape Memory Polymer (SMP) and Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) are known as shape memory materials that mechanical properties change with temperature. Shape-Memory Composite material () was configured with SMP and SMA. In this study, is produced for applying the properties of those two materials. The purpose of this study is to get design manuals for controlled by heating or coiling. Therefore, the effects of temperature by heating or cooling to were clarified experimentally. We defined elongation coefficient L from tension test and deflection coefficient D from three point bending test to present the mechanical properties of . L and D correspond to Young's modulus of liner elastic body. As a result, the elongation coefficient L of SMP became smaller when temperature exceeded the glass transition zone. On the other hand, L of SMA became larger when temperature exceeded the phase transformation temperature. In addition, D_c of was similar to D_p of a pair of SMP. However, D_c was smaller by 20 to 30 percent than D_p. Also, when temperature exceeded the phase transformation temperature, D_c of became bigger than D_p of SMP.

The cure behavior of (Sheet Molding Compound) during compression molding is rather complicated due to heat generation during the cure process and the heterogeneity of the material. The cure behavior is the most important factor for designing products and the mold itself, because cure behavior affects not only the post-deformation state of products after they are removed from the mold but also the flow patterns in the mold. DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimeter) may be an effective and powerful method for studying the cure behavior of various materials but is not as useful for practical products, because the dimensions of DSC specimens are much smaller than that of practical products. Consequently, this means that shows considerable heterogeneous properties for minute specimens. This paper describes a numerical analysis method for studying the cure behavior of . Combining measured temperatures inside the , three-dimensional heat conduction analysis, and considering the heat generation due to chemical diffusion, the heat generation was determined by both data and consequently was defined as a function of temperature inside the . The obtained heat generation function was again used in the heat conduction analysis. Thus, it was possible to obtain a practical temperature-time curve, curing profile and other properties.
