Completeness of scattering states of the Dirac Hamiltonian with a step potential
The completeness, together with the orthonormality, of the eigenfunctions of
the Dirac Hamiltonian with a step potential is shown explicitly. These
eigenfunctions describe the scattering process of a relativistic fermion off
the step potential and the resolution of the identity in terms of them
(completeness) is shown by explicitly summing them up, where appropriate
treatments of the momentum integrations are crucial. The result would bring
about a basis on which a field theoretical treatment for such a system can be
developed.Comment: 16 pages, 1 figure
Investigation of Environmental Change Pattern in Japan: Multidisciplinary Application of LANDSAT-2 Data to Marine Environment in Central Japan
The author has identified the following significant results. The multidisciplinary application of multispectral scanner data acquired over central Japan revealed several coastal features including pollution, river effluent, shorelines, red tide, etc. Supporting data were obtained by airborne remote sensing

Distribution of Snow and Maximum Snow Water Equivalent Obtained by LANDSAT Data and Degree Day Method
Maximum snow water equivalence and snowcover distribution are estimated using several LANDSAT data taken in snowmelting season over a four year period. The test site is Okutadami-gawa Basin located in the central position of Tohoku-Kanto-Chubu District. The year to year normalization for snowmelt volume computation on the snow line is conducted by year to year correction of degree days using the snowcover percentage within the test basin obtained from LANDSAT data. The maximum snow water equivalent map in the test basin is generated based on the normalized snowmelt volume on the snow line extracted from four LANDSAT data taken in a different year. The snowcover distribution on an arbitrary day in snowmelting of 1982 is estimated from the maximum snow water equivalent map. The estimated snowcover is compared with the snowcover area extracted from NOAA-AVHRR data taken on the same day. The applicability of the snow estimation using LANDSAT data is discussed
Quantum Creation of the Randall-Sundrum Bubble
We investigate the semiclassical instability of the Randall-Sundrum brane
world. We carefully analyze the bubble solution with the Randall-Sundrum
background, which expresses the decay of the brane world. We evaluate the decay
probability following the Euclidean path integral approach to quantum gravity.
Since a bubble rapidly expands after the nucleation, the entire spacetime will
be occupied by such bubbles.Comment: 13 pages, 6 figures, To appear in Prog. Theor. Phy
Environmental change pattern in central Japan as revealed by LANDSAT data
The author has identified the following significant results. A patched cirrus reported by weather stations was hardly recognizable by the eye in LANDSAT MSS data of a three year time lapse. The cloud cover affected radiance values significantly in band 4, while its effect was minimal in bands 6 and 7 (near infrared spectra). The cross correlation coefficient analysis between the two images indicated that the highest value obtained in central Japan was 0.963 for the area where little change occurred in land use over the three period. An analysis of land use in Nagoya showed little change in the metropolitan area while a fairly large change occurred in the northern periphery of the city where large scale housing projects are located
