Deeper into attachment and culture.

Replies to comments by 7 authors (see records 2001-18772-008, 2001-18772-009, 2001-18772-010, 2001-18772-011, and 2001-18772-012) in reference to the F. Rothbaum et al's original article (see record 2000-02781-001), which highlighted evidence of cultural variations in, and noted ways in which attachment theory is laden with Western values and meaning in comparisons of the US and Japan. Here, Rothbaum et al defend their central thesis and note areas of their agreement and disagreement with the aforementioned comments and criticisms.

昆明市抗战遗址现状与保护利用思考

昆明市抗日战争遗址主要是指中国人民在抗日战争期间经过战争或用于战争遗留在昆明市区内的遗址及遗迹,以及为躲避战争搬迁至昆明的外省人士在昆明市区内留下的建筑遗址或遗物。对昆明市区内战争遗址进行考察和梳理,并对这些战争遗址和遗迹资源的深入研究、保护和利用,有利于还原历史,保护文化遗产空间,优化旅游产业配置和地区经济推动,还有助于警示人们铭记历史,珍惜和平。

Safety Concerning Transportation of Spent Fuel

The Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry (CRIEPI) has been conducting, under contract with the Science and Technology Agency of Japan, the spent fuel transport cask reliability demonstration test since 1977 to verify the safety and reliability of spent fuel transport casks. The first phase of this test was completed in 1987.

In this demonstration test, both 50 t and 100 t class of casks, designed and manufactured by current techniques, were subjected to tests to verify the integrity and adequacy of the design and manufacturing techniques through observation of behavior of the cask under test conditions. The casks were subjected to tests under normal conditions and under the accident conditions specified in the Japanese regulations and the IAEA regulations, and also to pressure tests, which were performed from the viewpoint of safety in shipping, although by sea, this is not specified in the Japanese regulations.

From the test results, it was confirmed that the 1001 class cask maintained its integrity and characteristics in conformity with regulations even after accident condition tests. It is clear that the design concept and manufacturing procedure employed for this cask is adequate.     

Progress of Laser Fusion Research with GEKKO XII Glass Laser and KONGHO Project for Breakeven

The progress of laser fusion research is remarkable in obtaining the high density (100 times solid density) and high temperature plasma and in the understanding of the implosion physics. Thermonuclear neutrons of 1013 per shot and pellet gain of 0.2% have been achieved. The data bases of the laser fusion have been accumulated for the fusion ignition experiment and the achievement of the breakeven condition is estimated to be possible with 100 kJ blue laser.     

COSTA: A Computerized Support System for the Emergency Technical Advisory Body in Japan

If an accident resulting in an emergency occurs at a nuclear facility, the emergency technical advisory body (ETAB) is asked to make technical advice to the national government for emergency response. In order for the ETAB to carry out its role, a significant amount of materials containing information on nuclear power plants is prepared in the ETAB. These materials are all paper copies and very voluminous. Therefore it is required that they should be computerized for more effective use. Further, methods should be developed which aid the ETAB to understand the status of the affected facility and to predict potential radioactivity release to the environment.

To support the ETAB's activities in an emergency, the materials have been computerized as databases for more effective and quick use of them, and an expert system has been developed to quickly predict accident progression and environmental fission product release with the multivariate analysis method. The databases and the expert system have been unified to be a system of COSTA. The first phase of developing COSTA has been completed in FY1992. This paper describes the present status of development of COSTA.     

Analysis of Contour Map of Natural Radiation in Japan

Natural background radiation in Japan was analyzed based on surveyed data which were rearranged from macroscopic points of view. The background levels were classified into seventeen groups from which a contour map was made by simple interpolations. The general pattern obtained showed that high levels are prominent in Hida Mountains-Wakasa Bay area and Joetsu-northern Kanto provinces, and low levels are prominent in Hokkaido and northern Tohoku districts along with Kanto Plain. The whole area was further divided into two classes according to whether the level is higher than the country-wide mean level. A boundary between the two classes seen in Chubu District was found almost exactly coincides with Itoigawa-Shizuoka Tectonic Line. Kanto Mountainland was found to have higher levels than its neighborhood, which supports the current idea that old geology of granitic rocks gives high level radiation. A good correspondence could be seen between the radiation contours and every tectonic line proposed as the eastern border of Fossa Magna which is important in the tectonics of Japan Islands. It was then anticipated that informations of the natural radiation will give valuable side evidences to infer the geologic history of Japan Islands.     

日本的水资源管理与水权制度概略

近100多年来，随着社会经济发展和治水理念的变化，日本在水资源管理和水权制度建设等方面有许多新的发展。日本主要根据《河川法》来进行水资源管理和流域管理，其中水资源管理包括“水权”，制度。而流域管理则包括“治水和水环境”。日本水权管理的做法和经验可以为我国水权制度建设提供一定的借鉴。     

Site/Non-Site: Extending the Parameters in Contemporary Landscape

As the world teeters on the verge of environmental collapse, landscape architecture has taken on a new significance offering a longed-for sanctuary for our increasingly urbanised lives. Here, in his introduction to the issue, guest-editor Michael Spens explains how by taking its impetus from land art, landscape architecture, as an expanded field, transcends the conventional confines of site. This renders it possible to read architecture ‘as landscape, or as non-landscape, as building becomes non-site’ and the ‘site indeed materialises as the work per se’.
