Abstract

This paper aimed to discuss the areal extent and spatial structure of neighborhood, called tol, which possibly demarcate urban tissue with respect to worship of the deity and funerary acts. Bhaktapur is known as one of the historical cities of the World Heritage Site in Kathmandu Valley. The analysis firstly focuses on the dwelling distributions that have the common votary area of the guardian deities' temples/shrines and the use of the same crossing for funerary acts. Then, the authors compare those dwelling distribution with the areal extent of tols to find out how tol boundaries were formed. This result will be a precondition to conduct further examination on historical urban formation in the coming paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Asuka village in Nara Prefecture has been designated as one of the "Special Conservation Areas for Historic Landscape" since the 1960s and is known for its richness in historic remains from the Asuka period. This paper aimed to clarify the exterior design composition of rural main houses in six village sections in Asuka village. Based on the data collected in these village sections, an item/category data are compiled. Using this IC data, by performing "multiple correspondence analysis" followed by cluster analysis, samples are classified into 15 clusters. The obtained clusters are further grouped into Townhouse type, Intermediate type between townhouses and farmhouses, Farmhouse type, Conventional construction type, Modern type, Yamato‐mune (thatched roof) type, Single‐storied traditional type, and Single‐storied type. Given that our previous research paper revealed the variation and development process of house compounds, the analysis next explores the relationship between the building layouts in house compounds and the exterior designs of main houses. Finally, the paper tries to find out the characteristics of the dominant typologies of exterior design of main houses in each village section. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Bicyclams are compounds in which two cyclam units are linked in various ways. Tests to determine the inhibitory effects of bicyclams on the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) showed JM1657 and JM2763 are active against HIV-1 and -2 at concentrations as low as 0.14 micromolar. This inhibitory effect was observed for different strains of HIV-1 and -2 in various cell types. Monitoring of HIV-infected cells treated and untreated with the bicyclams showed that they act on the viral uncoating process. These compounds are attractive candidates for the treatment of HIV infections.

29. Strategies for next-generation fixed line service in Japan

Abstract

Thesis (M.B.A.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Sloan School of Management, 2004., Includes bibliographical references (leaves 91-92)., Although Japan had fallen far behind the United States in the extent and sophistication of its IP technology and information/communication industry, today it is beginning to catch up. By May 2003, the number of broadband Internet users in Japan exceeded 10 million, and the shift from narrowband to broadband continues to increase. Japan now enjoys one of the world's best broadband environments in terms of both pricing and speed of offerings. However, the environment for the domestic fixed-line telecommunication business is getting tougher. Demand is down, both in terms of volume and value, as traffic migrates to mobile communication technologies. For NTT's regional carriers, NTT East and NTT West, prospects for sales growth are slim, making cost reductions vital if those companies hope to remain profitable. It is imperative for NTT East and NTT West to expand into the broadband-related business as well as to slash costs further. In this thesis, I analyze industry structure, market trends, and the position of companies within the fixed-line communication industry in Japan. I also identify NTT's strategies for next-generation fixed line services, which I believe can still make a substantial contribution to the industry and to revitalizing the Japanese economy., by Naohiko Yamamoto., M.B.A.
