Energy-Scale Dependence of the Lepton-Flavor-Mixing Matrix
We study an energy-scale dependence of the lepton-flavor-mixing matrix in the
minimal supersymmetric standard model with the effective dimension-five
operators which give the masses of neutrinos. We analyze the renormalization
group equations of kappa_{ij}s which are coefficients of these effective
operators under the approximation to neglect the corrections of O(\kappa^2). As
a consequence, we find that all phases in do not depend on the
energy-scale, and that only n_g-1 (n_g: generation number) real independent
parameters in the lepton-flavor-mixing matrix depend on the energy-scale.Comment: 6 pages, no figur
The effect of Majorana phase in degenerate neutrinos
There are physical Majorana phases in the lepton flavor mixing matrix when
neutrinos are Majorana fermions. In the case of two degenerate neutrinos, the
physical Majorana phase plays the crucial role for the stability of the maximal
flavor mixing between the second and the third generations against quantum
corrections. The physical Majorana phase of guarantees the maximal mixing
to be stable against quantum corrections, while the Majorana phase of zero lets
the maximal mixing be spoiled by quantum corrections when neutrino masses are
of O(eV). The continuous change of the Majorana phase from to 0 makes the
maximal mixing be spoiled by quantum corrections with O(eV) degenerate neutrino
masses. On the other hand, when there is the large mass hierarchy between
neutrinos, the maximal flavor mixing is not spoiled by quantum corrections
independently of the Majorana phase.Comment: 7 pages, 1 figures, LaTe

How Do Nonlinear Voids Affect Light Propagation ?
Propagation of light in a clumpy universe is examined. As an inhomogeneous
matter distribution, we take a spherical void surrounded by a dust shell where
the ``lost mass'' in the void is compensated by the shell. We study how the
angular-diameter distance behaves when such a structure exists. The
angular-diameter distance is calculated by integrating the Raychaudhuri
equation including the shear. An explicit expression for the junction condition
for the massive thin shell is calculated. We apply these results to a dust
shell embedded in a Friedmann universe and determine how the distance-redshift
relation is modified compared with that in the purely Friedmann universe. We
also study the distribution of distances in a universe filled with voids. We
show that the void-filled universe gives a larger distance than the FRW
universe by at if the size of the void is of the
Horizon radius.Comment: To appear in Prog. Theor. Phys. 10

Validation of CFD Codes for the Helicopter Wake in Ground Effect
When a helicopter takes off, lands, or makes hovering or taxiing flights in ground effect, its downwash
interferes with the ground. Encounters with such highly turbulent helicopter wakes have been blamed for two
fixed-wing aircraft crashes in the United Kingdom. Additional incidents including tents blown away are
reported in Japan. Due to these accidents, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and the
University of Glasgow (UoG) are investigating the helicopter wake structure in ground effect, especially
during taxiing, by means of computational fluid dynamics (CFD). In this study, CFD codes of UoG and JAXA
are validated through comparing numerical results of each party and flight experiment data. As a result, it is
found that the CFD codes show qualitatively the same results each other and they are also close to the
experiment

Metal-nonmetal transition in LixCoO2 thin film and thermopower enhancement at high Li concentration
We investigate the transport properties of LixCoO2 thin films whose
resistivities are nearly an order of magnitude lower than those of the bulk
polycrystals. A metal-nonmetal transition occurs at ~0.8 in a biphasic domain,
and the Seebeck coefficient (S) is drastically increased at ~140 K (= T*) with
increasing the Li concentration to show a peak of magnitude ~120 \muV/K in the
S-T curve of x = 0.87. We show that T* corresponds to a crossover temperature
in the conduction, most likely reflecting the correlation-induced temperature
dependence in the low-energy excitations
Induction of inflorescence by CCC application on primary shoots of grapevines
Repeated CCC application at 500 ppm under the conditions of extended lang days and lower temperature of about 20 °C specifically induced inflorescences in place of tendrils on extending primary shoots of young graftings or cuttings of Muscat of Alexandria grapes.Inflorescence formation in the winter buds was much greater at 30 °C than at 20 °C along the whole shoot. CCC application increased inflorescence formation remarkably at either temperature, the effect being more pronounced at 20 °C.Die Induktion von Infloreszenzen durch Behandlung der Haupttriebe von Reben mit CCCJunge Pfropfreben oder Stecklinge der Sorte Muskat von Alexandria, deren Haupttriebe sich im Streekungswachstum befanden, wurden wiederholt mit 500 ppm CCC behandelt. Hierdurch wurden im ausgedehnten Langtag und in einem niedrigeren Temperaturbereich (ca. 20 °C) anstelle von Ranken speziell Infloreszenzen induziert. Längs des ganzen Triebes wurden in den Winterknospen bei 30 °C (ohne CCC-Behandlung) viel mehr Infloreszenzen angelegt als bei 20 °C. Durch CCC wurde die Infloreszenzbildung in beiden Temperaturbereichen beträchtlich gefördert, wobei für 20 °C eine auffälligere Wirkung festzustellen war
