    We tested the performance of an air-to-air heat pump (HP) for both daytime and night-time cooling of a tomato greenhouse, and we investigated the effect of mulch on the night-time cooling load. After 1-1.5 h, when the power consumption of the HP became constant, the inside and soil temperatures were lowest in the treatment with flash-spun mulch (Dupont Tyvek), as the mulch decreased the soil heat flux (Q_s). The range of reductions in Q_s, enthalpy (h_in), absolute humidity, and relative humidity were largest in the white-black mulch (WB) treatment when the HP power consumption had stabilized. The differences in the enthalpy (△h_hp) and the absolute humidity between the outlet and inlet of the HP decreased in the order of Tyvek > white-black mulch (WB) > control, but the difference in the inside temperature decreased in the order of WB > control > Tyvek. Before cooling started, the soil temperature and Q_s decreased in the order of Tyvek > WB > control. Q_s was almost constant during the daytime in the mulch treatments. The mulch seemed to stop the daytime rise in soil temperature and the night-time Q_s from the soil to the greenhouse, thus reducing the night-time cooling load. The power consumption of the HP during cooling rose moderately as △h_hp increased and rose sharply when △h_hp exceeded about 14 kJ・kg\u27^1. Under continuous operation of the HP, the inside temperature and h_in were maintained at about 23℃ (cooling set point) and 58 kJ・kg\u27^1, respectively, when Q_s was between about -20 and -40 W・m^2 and solar radiation was between about 260 and 330 W・m^2. The inside enthalpy was about 71 kJ・kg\u27^1 when the inside temperature was 27℃ (set point for ventilation)

    The present study examined the effects of the educational method adopted by Nippon Sport Science University for elimination of corporal punishment. Specifically, a survey was conducted on “Corporal Punishment” for the freshmen who entered the university in April 2016 and the 2nd–4th graders. Students were grouped into two: 1st graders and 2nd–4th graders. An analytical examination was made on what type of “Corporal Punish-ment” they received during their athletic activities and whether they perceived the presence (or absence) of the “Effect of Corporal-Punishment-Elimination Education.” Differences were observed between the two groups based on their choice of participation in club activities and affiliated events
