Experiments aiming to lower the cost of AFRW were conducted with the parameters of CFRP reinforcement arrangements and the CFRP ratio, taking into account end joint processing. It was found that AFRW with only a bottom CFRP arrangement was economically effective when aiming at less than 1.5 times of bending stiffness, but AFRW with both top and bottom CFRP arrangement was economically effective when aiming at more than 1.7 times of bending stiffness. New types of CFRP arrangements for AFRW edges were developed, and were demonstrated to have the same mechanical properties as fully arranged CFRP sheets against the longitudinal and width directions of the AFRW.

Urushi has been used for paints or adhesives since the Jomon period in Japan. Since it is prospective that demand for domestic Urushi for preservation of cultural property will increase, the mass production of seedlings of T. vernicifluum of high quality is important. We initially cultured immature zygotic embryos from immature fruits on Woody Plant Medium (WPM) containing 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), α -naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) or indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) as an auxin supplemented with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). Somatic embryos were induced directly from immature zygotic embryos and secondary somatic embryos were induced from somatic embryos. Some secondary somatic embryos formed roots and hypocotyls. Finally, we transferred the secondary somatic embryo-derived plantlets to soil in pots and the plantlets continued to grow. Thus, we developed a tissue culture system for plant regeneration for the propagation of T. vernicifluum.","PeriodicalId":49800,"journal":{"name":"Mokuzai Gakkaishi","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2488/JWRS.65.125","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45348974","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to determine image characteristics which objectively describe visual irregularities of a given wooden floor pattern, and to examine the effect of these characteristics on visual impressions of the floor patterns. Three parameters, inter-element contrast, intra-element contrast and magnification, were set up to generate 27 kinds of wooden floor patterns systematically by using a computer graphics technique. These floor images were subjected to multi-resolution contrast analysis to calculate two contrast values as the image characteristics which corresponded to inter-element contrast and intra-element contrast, respectively. Also, the contrast values were corrected using a human contrast sensitivity function in consideration of the dependence of spatial frequency. The floor patterns were also provided for sensory evaluation by 36 subjects. They observed and evaluated each wooden floor pattern projected on a horizontally placed screen of the same scale. The wooden floor pattern involving both larger contrasts tended to evoke visual irregularity more easily. Also, the contribution of both contrast to the visual irregularity was almost the same.","PeriodicalId":49800,"journal":{"name":"Mokuzai Gakkaishi","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43717344","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They had been buried by the Kisakata debris avalanche following a sector collapse at Mt. Chokai in 466 B.C. The aim of this study is to identify the species of the buried wood and to record its characteristics, including colors. Sections made by sliding microtome were observed under a light microscope and samples were identified on the basis of anatomical features. As a result, wood identification of 39 buried specimens, included : Castanea crenata, Quercus section Quercus, Zelkova serrata, Aesculus turbinate, Fagus, Ostrya japonica, and Cryptomeria japonica. The color of buried wood was different from that of wood from living specimens of the same species. Buried wood of C. crenata and Quercus species was black in color, of Z. serrata was dark green, of A. turbinate, Fagus, and O. japonica was brown, and of C. japonica ranged from green-gray to brown. These buried wood specimens are valuable, not only as a model sample to analyze the mechanism by which color and strength of wood change during prolonged burial, but also as a part of the cultural heritage of the area. Therefore, it is significant to know the characteristic properties and chemical composition of buried wood specimens. Our results should provide fundamental and practical information for future investigation.","PeriodicalId":49800,"journal":{"name":"Mokuzai Gakkaishi","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41461286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, the analytical model was validated by comparing the time-history earthquake response analysis and pseudo-dynamic test results for these types of shear walls. The relation between the magnitude of input ground motion and the horizontal displacement response was investigated by conducting time-history earthquake response analysis on several earthquake records and artificial waves with variable magnitude of input ground motion. Also, the possibility of replacing the tensile bolted joints by screwed steel joints was discussed. The yield strength and the maximum strength of shear walls with screwed joints were 20% higher than those with tensile bolts in the cyclic lateral loading tests. With the same seismic wave input in the pseudo-dynamic tests, the maximum response displacements of screwed joint specimens were smaller than those of tensile bolt specimens. Furthermore, the response displacement of earthquake response analysis showed good agreement with pseudo-dynamic test results. It is suggested that CLT shear walls with screwed steel joints give enough performance compared to shear walls with tensile bolt joints.","PeriodicalId":49800,"journal":{"name":"Mokuzai Gakkaishi","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46999179","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The durability of MDF after outdoor exposure of 21 years was evident. Different posterior predictive distributions of MOR were apparent for each exposure time due to irregular variation of variances in MOR. As a result, it was not possible to adequately infer the posterior predictive distributions of MOR using Bayesian analysis with a model that included constant MOR variance. The irregular variation of variances in MOR was therefore considered to be due to random effects, and a hierarchical model that included these random effects was constructed: the posterior predictive distributions of MOR were then adequately inferred using Bayesian analysis with the hierarchical model that included the random effects. In addition, 95% prediction intervals were inferred using the model including constant variance in MOR or the hierarchical model including the random effects; however, the 95% prediction interval of the latter model was found to be more suitable than that of the former model.","PeriodicalId":49800,"journal":{"name":"Mokuzai Gakkaishi","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44127161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, when mean and variance are distributed, probability distributions of strength properties could not be inferred suitably using conventionally statistical analysis. In Bayesian analysis, because mean and variance are considered to be distributed, their distributions could be used to infer probability distributions of strength properties.
