This research investigates whether passengers living in a city with local public airport have an attachment to that and tend use it. Focusing on the greater Kansai area its three airports Kobe, which owns one of them, Kobe Airport, as example, empirical analysis was conducted using nested logit model micro data. The result basic shows prefer Airport when compared other cities. An additional bas...

Long-period strong motions (> 0.9 second) are simulated in the Kobe area for the mainshock (1/17/95) and the aftershock (2/2/95) of the Hyogoken-Nanbu (Kobe) earthquake. In order to model ground motions in the realistic and highly heterogeneous basin structure, an unstructured 3D FEM (Finite Element Method) is used, which runs efficiently on parallel computers. The simulation results show stron...

A triangulated piecewise-linear minimal surface in Euclidean 3space 3 defined using a variational characterization is critical for area amongst all continuous piecewise-linear variations with compact support that preserve the simplicial structure. We explicitly construct examples of such surfaces that are embedded and are periodic in three independent directions of . Department of Mathematics, ...
