ELEVATIONAL DISTRIBUTION OF THE ASIAN TIGER MOSQUITO, AEDES ALBOPICTUS, IN THE INLAND MOUNTAIN AREA OF NAGANO AND YAMANASHI PREFECTURES, JAPAN 1 2 2 2 2 KIMIO HIRABAYASHI, NAOKO NIHEI, MUTSUO KOBAYASHI, YOSHIO TSUDA AND KYOKO SAWABE ABSTRACT. Nagano and Yamanashi prefectures of Japan comprise an inland mountain area that extends widely north and south, with elevation varying greatly by location. Mosquitoes transmitting infectious disease have a diversity of habitats in Nagano and Yamanashi, and many species can be expected there. However, there have been few reports on mosquito fauna; in particular, little information is available on mosquitoes such as Aedes albopictus. The mosquito fauna was investigated to clarify their elevational distribution ranging from 317 to 1,534 m, focusing especially on Ae. albopictus, in 24 areas in Nagano and Yamanashi prefectures from July to September in 2012–16. Downloaded from http://meridian.allenpress.com/jamca/article-pdf/36/1/1/2525805/19-6902_1.pdf by guest on 29 September 2021 Adult mosquitoes were collected using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention traps in each area, in addition to larval mosquito collections at several temple and shrine precincts in each area. At sites where elevations were .800 m (14 sites), no adult Ae. albopictus were captured. In addition, larval Ae. albopictus were not collected at elevations .728 m (15 sites). Aedes albopictus was captured at 20 other sites (annual mean air temperature ranged from 9.4 to 15.28C, July–September mean air temperature ranged from 19.9 to 25.08C).

An empirical analysis based on panel data from Japan’s Census of Manufactures FUKAO Kyoji (Hitotsubashi University, RIETI) IKEUCHI Kenta (NISTEP) KIM YoungGak (Senshu University) KWON Hyeog Ug (Nihon University, RIETI) Abstract Using a Melitz-style model of heterogeneous firms, Baldwin and Okubo (2006) recently presented a theoretical model in which self-sorting occurs and more productive factories choose to locate in more productive areas. The model suggests that firm-specific factors and regional factors affect each other through the endogeneity of location decisions. However, to date there have been few studies empirically testing this issue. Against this background, our aim is to examine the relationship between firms and location-specific factors in location decisions using factory-level panel data from Japan’s Census of Manufactures. We begin by estimating how much of the differences in factories’ TFP levels can be explained by both firm and location effects. The estimation results show that both effects have a significant impact on the productivity level of a factory, and that the firm effects are more important than the location effects. We also find a statistically significant negative correlation between firm effects and location effects, and investigate what causes this relationship.

One stand was damaged by the Isewan Typhoon in 1959, while the other had grown in natural succession without disturbance. The total carbon densities of the trees in the damaged and control forests in 1989, 2000, and 2008 were 252.8±24.4, 262.7±26.9, and 272.7±24.1 and 369.9±41.9, 377.6±40.8, and 384.6±40.5 ton/ha, respectively. A T-test indicated that the total carbon density of the typhoon forest was significantly lower than that of the control forest. However, the opposite trend was observed for the regeneration of carbon density in the stands.
