The semi-Lagrangian method using the hybrid-cubic-rational interpolation function [M. Ida, Comput. Fluid Dyn. J. 10 (2001) 159] is modified to a conservative method by incorporating the concept discussed in [R. Tanaka et al., Comput. Phys. Commun. 126 (2000) 232]. In the method due to Tanaka et al., not only a physical quantity but also its integrated quantity within a computational cell are us...

This paper presents for the first time an extended Mori-Tanaka approach aimed at identifying little-explored piezoelectric response of unidirectional nanoporous composites with energetic surfaces. The interface is simulated using generalized Gurtin-Murdoch coherent model considering nonvanishing in-plane surface stress and electric displacement. analytical solutions Eshelby’s inhomogeneity prob...

This report reviews and straightens methodologies to explore functional forms of man-landcover interrelations**. Tanaka and Nishii[7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13], Nishii and Tanaka[4, 6], Nishii, Miyata, and Tanaka[5] have engaged in the analysis of deforestation by human population interactions. The basic strategy has been to use landcover data mashed up with cell-formed population density data. Two fac...

HISTORY OF HIGHTEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTIVITY After superconductivity was discovered by Onnes in 1911, many superconductors were discovered and the critical temperature rose year by year. More than 2000 superconducting materials had been discovered by 1975, and the critical temperature had reached 22.3 K with the discovery of Nb3Ge in 1973. After that, however, no higher critical temperature was...
