Times Cited Count：0 Percentile：0.01(Chemistry, Physical)The structure of nano-ice crystals in rapidly frozen glucose solution was elucidated by using spin-contrast-variation small-angle neutron scattering, which distinguishes the nano-ice crystal signal from the frozen amorphous solution signal by the polarization-dependent neutron scattering. The analysis revealed that the nano-ice crystals form a planar structure with a diameter exceeding tens of nanometers and a thickness of 1 nm, which is close to the critical nucleation size. This result suggests that the glucose molecules are preferentially bound to a specific face of nano-ice crystals, and then block the crystal growth perpendicular to that face.

( at which mechanical glass transition occurs at 298 K) was determined to be 0.667. Temperature-dependency of mean square displacement was investigated by inelastic neutron scattering. From the linear fitting, two dynamical transition temperatures (low and high-
) were determined. There was a minor effect of on the low- except for the anhydrous sample. The high- largely increased with the decrease in . The dynamical determined by high- (0.688) was slightly higher than the mechanical because of the difference in the measurement time-scale. The high- was converted to the glass transition temperature (
), and anhydrous was estimated to be 411 K. Bacterial inactive-active transition was discussed according to the glass transition behavior.

Times Cited Count：1 Percentile：6.31(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)Self-organization in the toroidal electron temperature gradient driven (ETG) turbulence is investigated based on a global gyrokinetic model in a weak magnetic shear configuration. Because of global profile effects, toroidal ETG modes with higher toroidal mode number n are excited at the outer magnetic surfaces, leading to strong linear wave dispersion. The resulting anisotropic wave turbulence boundary and the inverse energy cascade generate the self-organization of zonal flows, which is the unique mechanism in the global gyrokinetic model. The self-organization is confirmed both in the decaying turbulence initialized by random noises and in the toroidal ETG turbulence. It is also shown that the self-organization process generates zonal flows and isotropic eddies depending on a criterion parameter, which is determined by the ion to electron temperature ratio and the turbulence intensity.

The authors have developed an automated analysis procedure to perform parametric studies on crack shapes and loading conditions. It consists of programs to perform automatic mesh generation, analysis execution including assignments of boundary conditions and SIF evaluations by virtual crack closure integral method. It was also found that SIF solutions for the thick wall cylinder and for the complex structure could be estimated by those for the flat plate.

The Facility of Radiation Standards of the Japan Atomic Energy Agency provides various radiation fields for calibration and testing. It is located about 120 km away from Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant, and radioactive materials discharged by the Fukushima nuclear accident contaminated around the FRS, even inside the building including radiation controlled areas. One month after the accident, the maximum contamination level in the controlled areas was 3.8 Bq/cm
. 
Cs, 
Cs, 
I, 
Te and I were detected by 
spectrometry using an HPGe detector. However, contamination in controlled areas under widely contaminated environment have not been discussed in detail. As for FRS, practices for reducing contamination in the controlled areas were necessary to avoid the influence of the contamination to the calibration works. These practices described that the following two approaches were effective: (1) decontamination of the controlled areas by wiping out with wet cloth or steam cleaners, and (2) to prevent the dust with radioactive materials from letting in the controlled areas. As a result, surface contaminates inside the controlled areas were reduced to be dozens of times lower as compared with outside.

We have proposed a sophisticated novel method of the SHB experiment to measure the time-dependent local strain distributions on a surface of the specimen by using mechanoluminescent materials combined with a high-speed camera and an image intensifier. The feasibility study was made for the aluminum specimens pasted with a typical mechanoluminescent material -Eu doped SrAl
O
film, in order to obtain the fundamental data for the method. Our results showed that SrAlO: Eu emitted lights as a response to the strain. Rise up of the light intensity was swift enough to follow the strain change due to HP impact. The luminescence intensity was experimentally verified and expressed as product of strain and strain rate. Accordingly, it can be said that this method gives a good tool for measuring time variation of local strain distributions.

In this study, computational performance of iterative solver of large linear equations with many right hand side vectors derived from finite element discretization in structural mechanics is evaluated. The current multicore architecture has memory wall problem and many iterative solvers suffer for this problem. Hence, high performance computing with iterative solver on multicore architecture is one of key issues in recent computer science. Because the performance of sparse matrix single vector multiplication has well surveyed, the performance of sparse matrix multiple vectors multiplication is investigated in this paper.

Times Cited Count：22 Percentile：80.64(Nuclear Science & Technology)Modification of JT-60U to a superconducting device (so called JT-60SA) has been planned to contribute to ITER and DEMO. The NBI system is required to inject 34 MW for 100 s. The upgraded NBI system consists of twelve positive ion based NBI (P-NBI) units and one negative ion based NBI (N-NBI) unit. The injection power of the P-NBI units are 2 MW each at 85 keV, and the N-NBI unit will be 10 MW at 500 keV, respectively. On JT-60U, the long pulse operation of 30 s at 2 MW (85 keV) and 20 s at 3.2 MW (320 keV) have been achieved on P-NBI and N-NBI units, respectively. Since the temperature increase of the cooling water in both ion sources is saturated within 20 s, further pulse extension up to 100 s is expected to mainly modify the power supply systems in addition to modification of the N-NBI ion source for high acceleration voltage. The detailed technical design of the NBI system for JT-60SA is presented.

Effective dose coefficients by inhalation and ingestion have been calculated for 334 nuclides, including (1) nuclides with half-lives 
10min and their daughters that are not listed in ICRP Publications and (2) nuclides with half-lives 
10min that are produced in a spallation target. Dose calculation was carried out using a nuclear decay database DECDC and a decay data library newly compiled from the ENSDF. The dose coefficients were calculated with the computer code DOCAP based on the respiratory tract model and biokinetic model of ICRP. The calculated results are presented as tables, which are the same forms as those in ICRP Publs.68 and 72. The complete listings of the dose coefficients are arranged on a CD-ROM, DoseCD, as indexed tables for inhalation of ten particle sizes, ingestion and injection into blood for workers and members of the public. The dose coefficients calculated in the present study are useful to calculate internal doses for a variety of radionuclides produced in high energy proton accelerator facilities.

The world's first negative-ion based neutral beam injector(N-NBI) system has been developed for studies of non-inductive current drive and plasma core heating with high energy neutral beam injection in higher density plasma. Construction of the N-NBI system for JT-60U was completed in March 1996. The system is composed of a beamline with two ion souces, a set of ion source power supllies, control system and auxiliary sub-system such as cooling water, refrigeration and vaccum system. In July 2001, deuterium neutral beam injection of 400keV and 5.8MW into JT-60U plasma was achieved. In order to increase both beam power and energy we have to go on more improvement of the N-NBI.
