ラジアルラインマイクロストリップアレーアンテナの角度制御自動化に関する研究

A radial-line microstrip array antenna (RL-MSAA) has been studied by many researchers because it has high performance. In this paper, a basic design technique of beam shaping for an RL-MSAA is presented. In order to verify the performances of these antennas, some RL-MSAAs were fabricated and tested at the SHF-band. Satisfactory performances were achieved in the radiation patterns, axial ratios and input impedance for the RL-MSAA tested here.textapplication/pdfdepartmental bulletin pape

Solar neutrino measurements in Super-Kamiokande-II

The results of the second phase of the Super-Kamiokande solar neutrino measurement are presented and compared to the first phase. The solar neutrino flux spectrum and time variation as well as oscillation results are statistically consistent with the first phase and do not show spectral distortion. The timedependent flux measurement of the combined first and second phases coincides with the full period of solar cycle 23 and shows no correlation with solar activity. The measured 8B total flux is (2:38± 0.05(stat.)/begin+0.16 // -0.15/end (sys.)) × 10^6 cm^{-2} s^{-1} and the day-night difference is found to be (-6.3 ±4.2(stat.)±3.7(sys.))%.There is no evidence of systematic tendencies between the first and second phases.journal articl

複数の潜在的参入企業によるクリーム・スキミング的行動が市場の競争性に及ぼす影響について(<特集>ネットワーク型産業における経済規制と産業組織)

本論文では, 複数の潜在的参入企業の存在が範囲の経済性をもつ複数財産業の競争に及ぼす影響を分析した. 主要な結論として, 潜在的参入企業のクリーム･スキミング的(利潤の高い市場のみに参入する, いわゆる｢いい所取り｣)行動が, 潜在的参入企業が一社だった場合に破壊的競争をもたらしたとしても, 企業数が二社以上だった場合には一転して, 既存企業による独占的状態の維持につながる可能性があることを示した. この結果は, 潜在的参入企業の数が増えると市場の競争が弱くなる可能性があることを示している.This paper investigates the effects of multiple potential entrants on competition in multi-product industries. We find that the cream skimming behavior of one potential entrant induces destructive competition and that more than one potential entrant yields a monopoly position for the incumbent. Counter-intuitively, an increase in the number of potential entrants reduces the competitive forces of potential entries.departmental bulletin pape

A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Multiple Airborne Pollutants and Autism Spectrum Disorder

<div><p>Background</p><p>Exposure to ambient air pollution is widespread and may be detrimental to human brain development and a potential risk factor for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). We conducted a systematic review of the human evidence on the relationship between ASD and exposure to all airborne pollutants, including particulate matter air pollutants and others (e.g. pesticides and metals).</p><p>Objective</p><p>To answer the question: “is developmental exposure to air pollution associated with ASD?”</p><p>Methods</p><p>We conducted a comprehensive search of the literature, identified relevant studies using inclusion/exclusion criteria pre-specified in our protocol (registered in PROSPERO, CRD # 42015017890), evaluated the potential risk of bias for each included study and identified an appropriate subset of studies to combine in a meta-analysis. We then rated the overall quality and strength of the evidence collectively across all air pollutants.</p><p>Results</p><p>Of 1,158 total references identified, 23 human studies met our inclusion criteria (17 case-control, 4 ecological, 2 cohort). Risk of bias was generally low across studies for most domains; study limitations were related to potential confounding and accuracy of exposure assessment methods. We rated the quality of the body of evidence across all air pollutants as “moderate.” From our meta-analysis, we found statistically significant summary odds ratios (ORs) of 1.07 (95% CI: 1.06, 1.08) per 10-μg/m³ increase in PM₁₀ exposure (n = 6 studies) and 2.32 (95% CI: 2.15, 2.51) per 10-μg/m³ increase in PM_2.5 exposure (n = 3 studies). For pollutants not included in a meta-analysis, we collectively evaluated evidence from each study in rating the strength and quality of overall evidence considering factors such as inconsistency, imprecision, and evidence of dose-response. All included studies generally showed increased risk of ASD with increasing exposure to air pollution, although not consistently across all chemical components.</p><p>Conclusion</p><p>After considering strengths and limitations of the body of research, we concluded that there is “limited evidence of toxicity” for the association between early life exposure to air pollution as a whole and diagnosis of ASD. The strongest evidence was between prenatal exposure to particulate matter and ASD. However, the small number of studies in the meta-analysis and unexplained statistical heterogeneity across the individual study estimates means that the effect could be larger or smaller (including not significant) than these studies estimate. Our research supports the need for health protective public policy to reduce exposures to harmful airborne contaminants among pregnant women and children and suggests opportunities for optimizing future research.</p></div
