Analysis of Autonomous Many-Body Particle Models from Geometric Perspective and Its Applications
No full textAutonomous many-body particle systems, such as traffic flow models, pedestrian
flow models, and molecular biology models, are very important targets that appear
in various fields. Since the behavior of these systems is essentially nonlinear and is
rich in variety and flexibility, it is important to grasp the whole picture of the system
not only numerically, but also through theoretical analysis.
For interacting systems of many-body particles, we have been studying
A. the development of analytical methods,
B. the investigation and extension of fundamental models

Dynamics of social trust and human capital in the learning process: The case of the Japan garment cluster in the period 1968-2005
No full textThis paper examined how and the extent to which human capital and social trust are associated with the learning process of a manager in making operations decisions through experience. To this end, using a data set originally and purposively constructed by the author, I investigate the development and transformation of the garment industry cluster region of Kojima, Japan. The major findings through statistical estimations are as follows. (1) In the cluster development stage, the social trust of an enterprise and its manager’s experiences in firm operations could be regarded as forming a complimentary association. (2) In the stage following cluster development, however, a manager’s human capital as accumulated through schooling and personal experience becomes complimentary instead of social trust.Social trust, Human capital, Bayesian learning

Sulfuriferula thiophila sp nov., a chemolithoautotrophic sulfur-oxidizing bacterium, and correction of the name Sulfuriferula plumbophilus Watanabe, Kojima and Fukui 2015 to Sulfuriferula plumbiphila corrig.
No full textA novel sulfur-oxidizing bacterium designated strain mst6(T) was isolated from spring water of Masutomi hot spring in Japan. The cells were rod-shaped (1.2-4.0 x 0.5-0.7 mm) and Gram-stain-negative. The G+C content of genomic DNA was around 52.6 mol%. The isolate possessed summed feature 3 (C-16 : 1 omega 7c and/or C-16 : 1 omega 6c), C-16 : 0 and C-12 : 0 as major cellular fatty acids. Strain mst6(T) grew by inorganic carbon fixation and oxidation of inorganic sulfur compounds with oxygen as an electron acceptor. The isolate grew over a temperature range of 5-34 degrees C, a NaCl concentration range of 0-110 mM and a pH range of 4.6-8.1. Optimum growth occurred at 32 degrees C, in the absence of NaCl and at pH 5.9-6.2. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain mst6(T) belongs to the family Sulfuricellaceae in the class Betaproteobacteria. The closest cultured relative was Sulfuriferula multivorans TTNT with a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 97.0 %. On the basis of the data obtained in this study, strain mst6(T) represents a novel species of the genus Sulfuriferula, for which the name Sulfuriferula thiophila sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is mst6(T) (=NBRC 111150(T) =DSM 101871(T)). In addition, we propose correcting the name Sulfuriferula plumbophilus Watanabe, Kojima and Fukui 2015 to Sulfuriferula plumbiphila corrig. based on Rule 12c, Rule 61 and Appendix 9 of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes
