First, the study examines the trends in land value in the area along JR Seto Ohashi Line by applying the area comparison method. The method estimates the effect of JR Seto Ohashi Line on residential land value by comparing land values between the study area and the Okayama Metropolitan Area. Second, the property value method is applied to measure the effect of railroad construction. The effect is estimated with a residential land-value regression, which is calibrated using land value data along the Seto Ohashi Line. Finally, the results are compared with the empirical studies in the Greater Tokyo Region, and various features of the impact of railroad construction on land value are identified. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=AbeHirofumi en-aut-sei=Abe en-aut-mei=Hirofumi kn-aut-name=阿部宏史 kn-aut-sei=阿部 kn-aut-mei=宏史 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Civil Engineering END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=27 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=65 end-page=79 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1992 dt-pub=19921125 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Electronic States and Electron Wave Transfer in Coupled Quantum Wires and Its Control by Externally Applied Electric Field en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Quantum mechnical electron wave transfer between two quantum wires which are weakly coupled via a thin potential barrier is considered. The total electronic states are calculated with both analytical ( no field case ) and numerical methods ( under applied electric fields ). The transfer efficiency is evaluated for several specified cases of geometrical structures, potential barrier heights and the externally applied electric field. Estimated trasfer time is of the order of one picosecond in typical mesoscopic structures. The model in this paper can be used to determine important structure parameters for experiments on electron directional coupler controled by external elctric field. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=NaraShigetoshi en-aut-sei=Nara en-aut-mei=Shigetoshi kn-aut-name=奈良重俊 kn-aut-sei=奈良 kn-aut-mei=重俊 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=HaraYuji kn-aut-sei=Hara kn-aut-mei=Yuji aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=TotsujiHiroo en-aut-sei=Totsuji en-aut-mei=Hiroo kn-aut-name=東辻浩夫 kn-aut-sei=東辻 kn-aut-mei=浩夫 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Sharp Corporation affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=27 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=55 end-page=64 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1992 dt-pub=19921125 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Intrinsic Bistability of Coupled Quantum Wires: Localization due to Many-Body Effects en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=The ground state of a system of electrons accumulated in a pair of coupled symmetric quantum wires is analyzed on the basis of density functional theory. It is shown that, in a domain of physical parameters, electrons are localized in either of wires. The main contribution to the total energy of this system comes from the Hartree energy, or the electrostatic energy, and the exchange-correlation energy between electrons. The ground state is determined by a competition between these contributions: We have symmetric electron distributions when the Hartree energy dominates and asymmetric (localized) states are realized in the opposite case. This kind of simple system with bistable electronic states may be applied to semiconductor memory devices. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=TotsujiHiroo en-aut-sei=Totsuji en-aut-mei=Hiroo kn-aut-name=東辻浩夫 kn-aut-sei=東辻 kn-aut-mei=浩夫 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=TachibanaHiroyuki kn-aut-sei=Tachibana kn-aut-mei=Hiroyuki aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=HashimotoSeiji kn-aut-sei=Hashimoto kn-aut-mei=Seiji aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=NaraShigetoshi en-aut-sei=Nara en-aut-mei=Shigetoshi kn-aut-name=奈良重俊 kn-aut-sei=奈良 kn-aut-mei=重俊 aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=27 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=45 end-page=53 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1992 dt-pub=19921125 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Measurement of Methane Concentration in a Rice Paddy Field with a Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectrometry en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=A prototype device based on the tunable diode laser absorption spectrometry was constructed and the atmospheric methane concentration near the terrain in a rice paddy field was measured.

This paper presents a new integrated approach using neural networks for diagnosing process failures. The fault propagation in process is modeled by causal relationships from the fault tree and its minimal cut sets. The measurement patterns required for training and testing the neural network were obtained from fault propagation model. The network is able to diagnose even in the presence of malfunction of certain sensors. We demonstrate via a nitric acid cooler process how the neural network can learn and successfully diagnose the faults. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=ShimadaYukiyasu en-aut-sei=Shimada en-aut-mei=Yukiyasu kn-aut-name=島田行恭 kn-aut-sei=島田 kn-aut-mei=行恭 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=SuzukiKazuhiko en-aut-sei=Suzuki en-aut-mei=Kazuhiko kn-aut-name=鈴木和彦 kn-aut-sei=鈴木 kn-aut-mei=和彦 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=SayamaHayatoshi en-aut-sei=Sayama en-aut-mei=Hayatoshi kn-aut-name=佐山隼敏 kn-aut-sei=佐山 kn-aut-mei=隼敏 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Mechanical Engineering affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Mechanical Engineering affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Mechanical Engineering END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=27 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=27 end-page=32 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1992 dt-pub=19921125 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Heat Transfer Characteristics of Two Phase Closed Thermosiphon for Geothermal Energy (2nd Report: Heat Transfer Behavior on Site) en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Heating and refrigerating technique such as snow melting of road and cold storage by utilizing temperature difference between underground soil and atmosphere is widely used[1-4] in a cold area. In the 1st Report, heat transfer characteristics of two phase closed thermosiphon for extracting geothermal energy is studied fundamentally. In the empirical study, heat extract rate is measured in connection with the change of atmospheric temperature utilizing real two thermosiphons on the site. Temperature distribution on the surface of the thermosiphon and underground soil around it is also measured. Based on the data of the empirical experiment, it is confirmed that prevention of freezing for fire hydrant can be achieved by geothermal heat utilizing two phase closed thermosiphon. Present paper describes the heat transfer behavior of the thermosiphon as the 2nd report. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=HirashimaMasao kn-aut-sei=Hirashima kn-aut-mei=Masao aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=InabaHideo en-aut-sei=Inaba en-aut-mei=Hideo kn-aut-name=稲葉英男 kn-aut-sei=稲葉 kn-aut-mei=英男 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Mitsui.

Both heat transfer characteristics in the underground soil and function of the thermosiphon to extract geothermal heat have to be made clear for the purpose of the above system. This study is directed for the purpose to prevent freezing of fire hydrant and composed of the fundamental experiment and the empirical experiment. In the fundamental study, heat transfer behavior is studied experimentally in the small size filling bath representing the underground soil layer. After recording temperature distribution, heat transfer coefficient is measured, they are proceeded into the correlation between the dimensionless number of Nusselt, Rayleigh and Fourier. The fundamental study is described as the first report. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=HirashimaMasao kn-aut-sei=Hirashima kn-aut-mei=Masao aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=InabaHideo en-aut-sei=Inaba en-aut-mei=Hideo kn-aut-name=稲葉英男 kn-aut-sei=稲葉 kn-aut-mei=英男 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Mitsui.

It is pointed out that the fast direct patterning the speed of which reaches about 100 mm/s is possible if the repetition frequency and the average power are selected properly. Furthermore cutting off and/or drilling of ceramic board are also possible under the condition that the repetition frequency is less than 3kHz. This technique makes it possible the mask1ess patterning of ceramic circuit board which has been widely used recently in place of conventional glass-epoxy or phenolic resin circuit board, and it leads to the shorter time limit of delivery as compared with the conventional end-milling method. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=UnoYoshiyuki en-aut-sei=Uno en-aut-mei=Yoshiyuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=KubotaShin-ichiro en-aut-sei=Kubota en-aut-mei=Shin-ichiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=NakajimaToshikatsu en-aut-sei=Nakajima en-aut-mei=Toshikatsu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=OgataKojiro en-aut-sei=Ogata en-aut-mei=Kojiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=TadaNobuhiko en-aut-sei=Tada en-aut-mei=Nobuhiko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Mechanical Engineering affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Mechanical Engineering affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Mechanical Engineering affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd.
