Economic Improvement

LSBWR (Long operating cycle Simplified BWR) is a modular, direct cycle, light water cooled, and small power (100–300MWe) reactor. The design considers requirements from foreign utilities as well as from Japanese. LSBWR is currently being developed by Toshiba Corporation and Tokyo Institute of Technology. Major characteristics of the LSBWR are: 1) Long operating cycle (target: over 15 years), 2) Simplified systems and building, 3) Factory fabrication in module. From the perspective of economic improvement of nuclear power plant, it is needed to shorten the plant construction period and to reduce building volume. In designing LSBWR building, a new building structure, where the hull structure of a ship is applied to floors and walls of LSBWR has been studied. Since the hull structure is manufactured at a shipyard, building module that includes plant equipment becomes possible. The application of the hull structure, which can make large modules at a shipyard, is an effective solution to the lack of laborer and economic improvement. LSBWR is a small size BWR, turbine is smaller size and lighter weight than medium or larger size plant. Then, it has been studied to install a reactor and a turbine in the same building for decreasing building volume. From the view point of standardization, whole building is supported by three dimensional seismic isolation mechanism.

Recent studies on materials for the development of lead-bismuth (Pb-Bi)-cooled fast reactors (FR) and accelerator-driven sub-critical systems (ADS) in Japan are reported. The measurement of the neutron cross section of Bi to produce 210Po, the removal experiment of Po contamination and steel corrosion test in Pb-Bi flow were performed in Tokyo Institute of Technology. A target material corrosion test was performed in the project of Transmutation Experimental Facility for ADS in Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI). Steel corrosion test was started in Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding Co., LTD (MES). The feasibility study for FR cycle performed in Japan Nuclear Cycle Institute (JNC) are described.

In this paper, a 4WS control method based on BP neural network was introduced. It used the BP neural network to simulate the map of vehicle and the nonlinear dynamic characteristics of the tire to avoid large errors that relying on mathematical simulation model of the problem. The 4WS measured data of Tokyo institute of Technology institute of Japan was used and used BP neural network method to identify the nonlinear characteristics of vehicle and tires. System controller’s design is not based on any theoretical method, but on the BP neural network’s self-learning ability. Experimental results show that this method has good controlling characteristics, and it can improve the vehicle’s active safety and manipulating stability effectively.

Varinder K. Aggarwal of the University of Bristol described (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2010, 49, 6673) the conversion of the Sharpless-derived epoxide 1 into the cyclopropane 2. Christopher D. Bray of Queen Mary University of London established (Chem. Commun. 2010, 46, 5867) that the related conversion of 3 to 5 proceeded with high diastereocontrol. Javier Read de Alaniz of the University of California, Santa Barbara, extended (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2010, 49, 9484) the Piancatelli rearrangement of a furyl carbinol 6 to allow inclusion of an amine 7, to give 8. Issa Yavari of Tarbiat Modares University described (Synlett 2010, 2293) the dimerization of 9 with an amine to give 10. Jeremy E. Wulff of the University of Victoria condensed (J. Org. Chem. 2010, 75, 6312) the dienone 11 with the commercial butadiene sulfone 12 to give the highly substituted cyclopentane 13. Robert M. Williams of Colorado State University showed (Tetrahedron Lett. 2010, 51, 6557) that the condensation of 14 with formaldehyde delivered the cyclopentanone 15 with high diastereocontrol. D. Srinivasa Reddy of Advinus Therapeutics devised (Tetrahedron Lett. 2010, 51, 5291) conditions for the tandem conjugate addition/intramolecular alkylation conversion of 16 to 17. Marie E. Krafft of Florida State University reported (Synlett 2010, 2583) a related intramolecular alkylation protocol. Takao Ikariya of the Tokyo Institute of Technology effected (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2010, 132, 11414) the enantioselective Ru-mediated hydrogenation of bicyclic imides such as 18. This transformation worked equally well for three-, four-, five-, six-, and seven-membered rings. Stefan France of the Georgia Institute of Technology developed (Org. Lett. 2010, 12, 5684) a catalytic protocol for the homo-Nazarov rearrangement of the doubly activated cyclopropane 20 to the cyclohexanone 21. Richard P. Hsung of the University of Wisconsin effected (Org. Lett. 2010, 12, 5768) the highly diastereoselective rearrangement of the triene 22 to the cyclohexadiene 23. Strategies for polycyclic construction are also important. Sylvain Canesi of the Université de Québec devised (Org. Lett. 2010, 12, 4368) the oxidative cyclization of 24 to 25.

Historical Periods

Kazuo Shinohara was born in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. He graduated from the Department of Architecture, Tokyo Institute of Technology, in 1953. That same year, he commenced his successfull career as an academic and practicing architect. To Shinohara, theory and practice were closely linked and whatever he conceived in theory, he took the chance to experiment with in real-life structures. Academically, he published several hundred articles and books between 1955 and 1990; as an architect, he concluded his first project, House in Kugayama in 1954 and his last work Kumamoto-kita Police Station, was completed in 1990. Shinohara considered himself an individual housing architect, having built around forty residences. Since opening communications with Western countries in the mid-1850s, Japan had been struggling to maintain its own identity. At first, architects started imitating Western styles from different historical periods, experimenting with brick and other materials unknown hitherto in Japan. Some, however, continued to favor traditional Japanese architecture with its predominant use of wood. After 1920 and the Japanese secession, architects started to proclaim their own individual artistic creativity, considering architecture to be not only a science, but also an art.
