INTRODUCTION named Aomori, Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima which As a result when tsunami invades into river, it may faces the Pacific Ocean, was impacted by the 2010 not only a threat of damages to the embankments but Chilean Tsunami. An attempt is made to collect as many also cause the environmental problem such as full data sets as possible from the local Prefectural inundation. Therefore, tsunami impacts to river Governments. In total, the data from 25 rivers were upstream studies become more important. There have compiled and analyzed. Nevertheless, because of each been several studies on tsunami impacts to the rivers river entrance has their own morphology so the such as Abe (1986), Tsuji et al. (1991), and Tinh N. X. influence of tsunami needs to be analyzed individually and Tanaka H., (2010). Among them Abe (1986) has and compared among them. found that the tsunami wave can propagate up to 15km 2.2 Field measurement data river upstream. Resonance occurred in river in about 80 In Japan, water level was often measured at 1 hour of minutes and causing a standing wave. Tinh N. X. and time interval in normal condition, however, due to some Tanaka H. (2010) have concluded that tsunami can short-time extreme events such as typhoons or tsunami propagate up to 33km in the Old Kitakami River during the measurement method can be switched to smaller 2010 Chilean Tsunami.

Abstract; Six populations of Corbicula J'aponica, thTee populations of C. ieana and one twelve isozyme coding loci population of C santlai were electrophoretically analyzed at in order to appToach the phylogenetic relationship among the three species and the level of intra-specific differentiation within C. japonica and C. Ieana, Among them, C, J'apenica was the most variable with most ef the examined loci being polymorphic. It was also most geographically differentiated. Genetic differentiation among populations of C. joponi- ea was not large enough te regard the geographic morphs as subspecies, C. sandai, endemic to Lake Biwa, was more variable than C. Ieana, a triploid species. Most of the examined loci of C. leana were monomorphic. A phylogenetic tree constructed from Nei's genetic distances between populations indicated that C. J'aponica diverged from the ancestral species first, with C sandai and C. leana subsequently differentiating from each other. Introduction Corbicula species are common bivalves, and an economically important aquatic resource in Japan.

I will never forget the beautiful period of my life while I was a PhD student. I would like to acknowledge all the people and organizations who helped me on the way. First and foremost, I would like to thank to my advisor, Professor Kaoru Takara who welcomed me in his lab and supported me all the way during the PhD degree study. He was taking care about my health and life conditions, visited me when I was in hospital and held birthday and welcome parties for me. He also provided me many chances to attend 7 international conferences and activities to communicate and study with other researchers and have employed me as Research Assistant in the Lab.

Key words: Diptera, flesh flies, new species, new genus, Sarcophagidae, Japan INTRODUCTION The collection of Sarcophagidae made by the first author was studied during the course of the taxonomical studies on the calypterate muscoid flies from Japan since 1970 (Kurahashi, 1970). This was a revision of the subfamily Miltogramatinae dealing with seven genera and 14 species. Before this, Takano (1950) recorded seven genera and nine species of Japanese Sarcophagidae. Many investigation on the Japanese flesh flies made by Drs. K. Hori, R. Kano and S. Shinonaga beside the present authors. The results of these authors were published in the part of Sacophagidae, Fauna Japanica (Insecta: Diptera) and treated 23 genera and 65 species of the subfamilies of Sarcophaginae and Agriinae (=Paramacronychiinae), but the subfamily Miltogrammatinae was not included (Kano et al., 1967).

  • Kanagawa Prefecture
    www.EUbusinessinJapan.eu Latest update: August 2013 KANAGAWA PREFECTURE Prefecture’s flag Main City: Yokohama Population: 9,079,000 people, ranking 2/47 (2013) [1] Area: 2,415.84 km² [2] Geographical / Landscape description: Kanagawa Prefecture is located in the southern Kanto region of Japan and is part of the Greater Tokyo Area. Topographically, the prefecture consists of three distinct areas. The mountainous western region features the Tanzawa Mountain Range and Hakone Volcano. The hilly eastern region is characterized by the Tama Hills and Miura Peninsula. The central region, which surrounds the Tama Hills and Miura Peninsula, consists of flat stream terraces and low lands around major rivers including the Sagami River, Sakai River, Tsurumi River, and Tama River. [2] Climate: The climate is moderate due to the warm current running along the Pacific side of the archipelago. [2] Time zone: GMT +7 in summer (+8 in winter) International dialling code: 0081 Recent history, culture Kanagawa has played a major role in some significant periods in Japan's history. The first began in 1192, when the first military government was established in Kamakura. This made Kanagawa the centre of the Japanese political scene. The second period commenced in 1859, when the Port of Yokohama was opened to the world after more than 200 years of strict national isolation. Since then, Kanagawa became the gateway for the introduction of Western civilization. The third period was the 1950s, when the Japanese economy was being reconstructed after World War II. During this period, along with the development of the Keihin Industrial Belt, Kanagawa played a significant role in rebuilding the war-devastated Japanese economy.

About twenty thousand people were killed or lost by the tsunami of this earthquake, and large area was flooded and a large number of buildings were destroyed by the tsunami. The Geospatial Information Authority of Japan (GSI) has provided the data of tsunami flooded area interpreted from aerial photos taken just after the great earthquake. This is fundamental data of tsunami damage and very useful for consideration of reconstruction planning of tsunami damaged area. The authors analyzed the relationship among land use, landform classification, DEMs data flooded depth of the tsunami flooded area by the Great East Japan Earthquake in the Sendai Plain using GIS.
