干拓地土壌における水分吸着特性とその物理性への影響

The concept of water potential (p.F.), as the index to characterized the condition and the nature of the soil water, turned out to be of importance in dealing with the soil in sea land reclamation area. The nature of water adsorbed at high p.F. range and its effects on physical properties of soil has been clarified using 75 samples in 16 sites from 4 different sea land reclamation areas. The results obtained suggest that the surface charge represented by cation exchange capacity (C.E.C.) has definite effect on the adsorption of water at p.F. 6.35, which in turn is considered to be the measure of specific surface area. The effects of electrolyte concentration on the amount of adsorbed water at p.F. 4.85 and 5.51 was very significant. The consistency limits were used to represent the physical properties of soil and the changes of these limits were interpreted in terms of change in the amount of adsorbed water at high p.F. range. Significant correlation was found between the consistency limits and the amount of water adsorbed at p.F. 4.85

Economic Basis of Punitive Damages : Position as Risk Control Policy and the Point

懲罰的損害賠償とは,悪質な加害者に対して,当該行為によつて生じた被害者の損害額を超える損害賠償を命じるという英米法圏における制度である。この懲罰的損害賠償に加害者の「悪質さ」という主観的な根拠以外に客観的根拠があるのかを経済学を用いて分析を行なった。その結果,経済学における懲罰的損害賠償の根拠は,加害者の悪質さとは関係ないものであることが分かつた。その経済学的な根拠とリスクをコントロールする政策の基本的な考え方によつて,懲罰的損害賠償を分析。評価し,今後の日本において懲罰的損害賠償についてどのような議論を進めていけばよいのかを模索した
