Anapole moment of a chiral molecule revisited
Parity violation in a chiral, four-atom molecule is discussed. Given the
geometrical positions of the four atoms, we calculate the anapole moment of it.
This problem was first discussed by Khriplovich and Pospelov. We give a
detailed derivation for it so that it can be more accessible to wider range of
scientists. We correct errors in their results and generalize their initial
state to |s_{1/2}\rangle and |p_{1/2}\rangle states. We also discuss realistic
candidates of the chiral molecules to which this approach can be applied.Comment: 21 pages, 2 figures. v2: Appendix added, references added, typos

The current problems of the minimal SO(10) GUT and their solutions
This talk consists of two parts. In part I we review how the minimal
renormalizable supersymmetric SO(10) model, an SO(10) framework with only one
10 and one 126 Higgs multiplets in the Yukawa sector, is attractive because of
its highly predictive power. Indeed it not only gives a consistent predictions
on neutrino oscillation data but also gives reasonable and interesting values
for leptogenesis, LFV, muon g-2, neutrinoless double beta decay etc. However,
this model suffers from problems related to running of gauge couplings. The
gauge coupling unification may be spoiled due to the presence of Higgs
multiplets much lighter than the grand unification (GUT) scale. In addition,
the gauge couplings blow up around the GUT scale because of the presence of
Higgs multiplets of large representations. In part II we consider the minimal
SO(10) model in the warped extra dimension and show a possibility to solve
these problems.Comment: 15 pages, 7 figures, Talk given at the International Workshop on

Features of IP rights enforcement in Korea and China
This report examines recent updates to the regulation and enforcement of intellectual property (IP) rights in Korea and China, in particular patent rights including invention, utility, and design rights. This paper also discusses some features and issues of the actual IP enforcement situation in those countries in comparison with Japan

Magnetostriction studies up to megagauss fields using fiber Bragg grating technique
We here report magnetostriction measurements under pulsed megagauss fields
using a high-speed 100 MHz strain monitoring system devised using fiber Bragg
grating (FBG) technique with optical filter method. The optical filter method
is a detection scheme of the strain of FBG, where the changing Bragg wavelength
of the FBG reflection is converted to the intensity of reflected light to
enable the 100 MHz measurement. In order to show the usefulness and reliability
of the method, we report the measurements for solid oxygen, spin-controlled
crystal, and volborthite, a deformed Kagom\'{e} quantum spin lattice, using
static magnetic fields up to 7 T and non-destructive millisecond pulse magnets
up to 50 T. Then, we show the application of the method for the
magnetostriction measurements of CaVO, a two-dimensional
antiferromagnet with spin-halves, and LaCoO, an anomalous spin-crossover
oxide, in the megagauss fields.Comment: 9pages, 6 figures, Conference proceedings for MegaGauss16 at Kashiwa,

Retention properties with high-temperature resistance in (Bi,Pr)(Fe,Mn)O3 thin film capacitor
(Bi0.9Pr0.1)(Fe0.97Mn0.03)O3 (BPFM) thin film was deposited on Pt-coated Si(100) substrate by chemical solution deposition. Remnant polarization and coercive field in the BPFM film capacitor were 113 °C/cm2 and 630 kV/cm at the maximum electric field of 1000 kV/cm, respectively. Switching charge measured by a rectangular pulse measurement was 118 °C/cm2. Almost no polarization losses of BPFM film capacitor were observed even after retention time of 104 s at room temperature. Furthermore, the polarization loss at 450 °C was only 3.7% even after 104 s. These results indicate that BPFM film capacitor is suitable for non-volatile memory applications at high temperature. © 2014 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
