Extracting market expectations from yield curves augmented by money market interest rates: the case of Japan
No full textThis paper attempts to extract market expectations about the Japanese economy and the BOJ’s policy stance from the yen yield curves augmented by money market interest rates, during the period from the end of the quantitative easing policy in March 2006. We use (i) the swap yield curves augmented by OIS interest rates (OIS/Swap), and (ii) the JGB yield curve augmented by FB/TB interest rates. First, using the Nelson-Siegel [1987] model, we estimate three latent dynamic factors, which can be interpreted as reflecting market expectations. Second, we investigate the relative importance of price discovery for each factor between OIS/Swap and FBTB/JGB, and find that the former has a more dominant role of price discovery for all factors. Third, we estimate the efficient price for each factor common to both yield curves using a time-series structural model, which enables us to decompose each factor into the efficient price and idiosyncratic factor.

Preliminary Report on The Great Hanshin Earthquake January 17, 1995
No full textThe Japan Society of Civil Engineers (JSCE) received in an extremely serious light the severe damage to various infrastructures, caused by the Hyogoken-Nanbu Earthquake, which occurred in early morning of 17th January. It immediately took the step of organising investigation teams and dispatched them to the disaster area with the aim of elucidating the causes of the damage and thus contributing to the progress of seismic engineering and to the implementation of disaster prevention measures. On the day following the occurrence of the earthquake, the First Study Team, headed by Prof. Jushiro Tamura of Nihon University, chairman of the JSCE Committee on Seismic Engineering, and consisting mainly of researchers in seismic engineering and structural mechanics, was sent to the area for an emergency survey of the damage to the infrastructures. This was followed by the formation and dispatch of the Second Team, headed by me (Prof. Hideo Nakamura of the University of Tokyo), on 22nd January, for a comprehensive survey of the structural and functional damage to and progress of restoration work on railways, roads, port facilities and lifeline utilities. This emergency symposium is being held to provide an opportunity for making brief presentations of the findings of these two study teams. The damage was sa extensive to a variety of structures and sa broadly spread one different areas, the further detailed studies and analyses will be required before any firm conclusions may be drawn on many of the items studied. The views presented here are, in a large number of cases, not consensual description by the Society, but the opinions of individual members of the study teams. However, I am sure that it is our duty to hold an emergency symposium and to make known to the public the findings as quickly as possible. To continue with the surveys on the damage and restoration work, a Third Study Team, headed by Prof. Minoru Matsuo of Nagoya University, was sent to the disaster area on 1st February. The JSCE will take steps to report the findings of this and subsequent study teams at the earliest date possible. In addition, the JSCE will conduct detailed and systematic studies and analyses of the survey results, and present its findings to the public bath in Japan and abroad in the form of a "Report of the Study on the Great Hanshin Earthquake" . As members of the JSCE, we intend to devote the maximum amount of effort possible to restoration and reconstruction work in this wake of the earthquake and to the reduction of potential damage in future earthquakes. We entreat all those concerned to favor us with their cooperation and support to these ends.The Great Hanshin Earthquak

No full textEffect of gamma irradiation in the viscosity of gelatin and pectin solutions used in food industry
No full textA pectina é uma substância polissacarídica originada de plantas, que pode ser utilizada como agente gelificante, estabilizante de compotas, em bebidas láticas e iogurtes. A gelatina, proteína, nesse caso de origem bovina, é principalmente utilizada como agente gelificante, pois, forma hidrogéis por resfriamento. O processo de irradiação por radiação gama pode causar uma variedade de modificações nas macromoléculas algumas de aplicação industrial, como é o caso de reticulação. A resposta dinâmica de materiais viscoelásticos pode ser usada para dar informação sobre o aspecto estrutural de um sistema a nível molecular. No presente trabalho, pectina com diferentes graus de metoxilação, gelatina e a mistura de ambas foram empregados para estudar a sensibilidade à radiação por meio de medidas de viscosidade. Amostras de soluções de pectina de alto teor de metoxilação (ATM) 1%, pectina de baixo teor (BTM) 1%, gelatina 0,5%,1% e 2%, e a mistura de ambas a 1% e 2% foram irradiadas com raios gama em doses de até 15kGy e taxa de dose em torno de 2kGy/h. Após irradiação, a viscosidade foi medida dentro de um período de 48 h. A viscosidade da pectina ATM e BTM diminuiu drasticamente com o aumento da dose de radiação. A gelatina, entretanto, apresentou grande resistência à radiação. Na mistura de ambas, houve predomínio do comportamento esperado para a pectina.Pectin is a polysaccharide substance of plant origin that may be used as gelling agent, stabilizer in jams, in yogurt drinks and lactic acid beverages. Gelatin, a protein from bovine origin, in this case, is mainly used as gelling agent due to hydrogel formation during cooling. The 60 Co-irradiation process may cause various modifications in macromolecules, some with industrial application, as reticulation. The dynamic response of viscoelastic materials can be used in order to give information about the structural aspect of a system at molecular level. In the present work samples of pectin with different degree of methoxylation, gelatin and the mixture of both were employed to study the radiation sensitivity by means of viscosity measurements. Solutions prepared with citric pectin with high methoxylation content (ATM) 1 por cent, pectin with low content (BTM) 1 por cent, gelatin 0.5 por cent, 1 por cent and 2 por cent, and the mixture 1 por cent and 2 por cent were irradiated with gamma rays at different doses, up to 15 kGy with dose rate about 2 kGy/h. After irradiation the viscosity was measured within a period of 48 h. The viscosity of ATM and BTM pectin solutions decreased sharply with the radiation dose. However, the gelatin sample presented a great radiation resistance. When pectin and gelatin solutions were mixed a predominance of pectin behavior was found
