    In this paper, Mitsuo Saito and Ryoichi Nishimiya present a quantitative analysis of the trade patterns that have characterized the interdependence between Taiwan and Japan during the process of rapid industrial development. The method they adopt is the simulation of medium-scale econometric models for both countries, which are linked together by their export and import functions. It is shown that a difference in the rates of technical progress in the two countries has tended to strengthen the trade friction between them

    Structural Change in the Soviet Economy During the 1970s

    In this paper, Mitsuo Saito and Ryoichi Nishimiya use an interindustry model to examine structural change in the Soviet economy during the 1970s. Their supply-oriented model utilizes input-output data and national income accounts for the Soviet Union covering the period 1950-79; with the help of the econometric model, they study the causes of changes in the rates of growth in the Soviet economy during the seventies in comparison with those of the fifties and sixties. In certain of their findings, Saito and Nishimiya interpret as "technical progress" a residual term in linear homogeneous production functions: these particular results should be treated with some caution

    The Causes of the High Economic Growth in Japan

    In this paper, Mitsuo Saito and Ryoichi Nishimiya present a quantitative evaluation of the contributions of various factors to Japanese economic growth over the period 1962-73. The method adopted involves simulations using a macroeconometric model. which combines the Keynesian theory of effective demand with elements of neoclassical growth theory to describe both short-term fluctuations and long-term tendencies of the economy. The advantages of this new method over the traditional approach are discussed. According to Saito and Nishimiya's estimates, the contribution of technical progress to Japanese economic growth is larger than that suggested by the traditional method of growth accounting

    High-resolution laser spectroscopy of the A 3Π1 ← X 1Σ+ system of ICl IN 0.7 μm region

    Spectroscopic data for the A,3Pi1A,^{3}Pi_{1} and X,1Sigma+X,^{1}Sigma^{+} states of I35/37^{35/37}Cl have been obtained by many researchers using grating spectrometers and Fourier-transform infrared spectrometers.footnote{,J.A. Coxon, R.M. Gordon and M.A. Wickramaaratchi, J. Mol. Spectr. {bf 79} (1983) 363, 380.},^,footnote{,H. Hedderich P.F. Bernath and G.A. McRae J. Mol. Spectr. {bf 155} (1992) 384.} In a previous paperfootnote{,T.Yukiya, N. Nishimiya and M. Suzuki, J. Mol. Spectr. {bf 269} (2011) 193.} we reported the measurement of doppler limited electronic vib-rotational absorption lines of the A,3Pi1A,^{3}Pi_{1} leftarrowleftarrow X,1Sigma+X,^{1}Sigma^{+} system of I35/37^{35/37}Cl using a source modulation method, and new Mass-reduced Dunham coefficients were reported for the XX-state. However, it is becoming increasingly common to analyse diatomic molecule spectroscopic data using the ``direct-potential-fit'' (DPF) method in which observed transition energies are fitted to simulated spectra generated from analyic models for the potential energy function(s). This method tends to require fewer fitting parameters than traditional Dunham analyses, as well as having more robust extrapolation properties in both the vv and JJ domains. The present work combines all available previously reported data for the A,3Pi1A,^{3}Pi_{1} and X,1Sigma+X,^{1}Sigma^{+} states with new measurements up to v=10v'=10 in the 0.7murmmmurm m region obtained with a tone burst method using a Ti:Sapphire Ring Laser (M Squared Ltd SolsTis CW with Tera scan) in the the first DPF analysis reported for this system. The results of this study and our new fully analytic potential energy functions for the A,3Pi1A,^{3}Pi_{1} and X,1Sigma+X,^{1}Sigma^{+} states of ICl will be presented

    Catalytic carbonization of wood charcoal:graphite or diamond?

    Get PDF
    We report on the process of making graphite out of wood by catalytic carbonization. Two different types of microstructure were observed. One type being typical for graphitization of wood without the effect of a catalyst, the main characteristic being the typical fibrillar microstructure related back to the original cellulose morphology. A strong {0002} inner diffraction ring corresponding to the 0.336 nm lattice spacing of graphite dominates its diffraction pattern. The other type being typical for graphitization of wood with aluminum as catalyst, the main characteristic being the large sheets of carbon forced upon by the formation of plate like Al4C3. This compound is formed as an intermediate reaction product, which dissociates into aluminum vapour and solid carbon. The diffraction pattern indicates a differently textured structure. EELS measurements in the areas of catalytic graphitization indicate a significant decrease of the sp(2) bonding typical for graphite. It can be an indication of the presence of metastable diamond. This diamond-like structure is extremely unstable under influence of the electron beam. It decomposed within 250 s of beam exposure. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved
