    100 kou project (one-hundred-school-project) started to work in Japan in 1995. It is and experimental environment in which one hudred schools in Japan, including elementary, junior and high schools, are connected to the world wide computer network, and they communicate with the schools in not only Japan but also the world. Gifu University for Education and Languages and Attached Elementary School were connected to the Internet in 1995. The school teachers are very much interested in using the Internet for cross-cultural education. This paper deals with the following point : 1. Necessity to set up a new organization of connecting service to the Internet, 2. Hardware of Server and client systems, and the softwares, 3. How to support the schools both technically and administratively, 4. Training the users how to operate the Internet, 5. The problems of E-mail addresses and password, and 6. Communication expenses

    Chiral doping effect in the B2 phase of a bent-core liquid crystal: The observation of resonant X-ray satellite peaks assigned to the 5/10 layer periodic structure

    We studied the details of a local layer structure in the B2 phase of bromo-containing bent-core liquid crystals mixed with a small amount of chiral molecules using microbeam resonant X-ray scattering. In this measurement, we detected the 1 ± 0.2 order satellite peaks, which suggest that the B2 phase of the mixture has a long-range periodic structure. Dielectric and electro-optic measurements indicate almost the same behavior as the antiferroelectric SmCAPA(B2) of pure bromo-containing bent-core liquid crystals, so that the B2 phase of the chiral mixture is also antiferroelectric, and it is concluded that the B2 phase of the chiral mixture forms a ten-layer periodic structure. Such a long-range periodic structure did not appear by mixing the racemate of the same compounds, which indicates the chiral effect on the long-range periodic structure
