  • Calculation of Magnetic Field Disturbance Produced by Electric Railway
    Translated to English from paper in Japanese, originally published in: Memoirs of the Kakioka Magnetic Observatory, Vol.20, No.2, 33-44, 1984 with permission of the authors. Calculation of Magnetic Field Disturbance Produced by Electric Railway by Tetsuo TOKUMOTO and Satoru TSUNOMURA Abstract Magnetic field disturbance by leakage current of electric railways is a serious problem for magnetic observations. We can get an exact solution in various situations of the route of railway, distributions of power substations and electric railcars by the method developed herein. The developed method yields a smaller estimating magnetic field disturbance compared with the old method. 1. Introduction insulated from the ground. Not only does the leakage It is known that the leakage current from a DC current itself form magnetic fields, but it also causes electric railcar forms magnetic fields in the the amount of current through the railway track to surrounding environment. Unwanted noises occur differ from the amount of current through the feeder from these magnetic fields, causing interference to the line and, as a result, magnetic fields form around the observation of natural magnetic fields. Because the railway track and the feeder line. The imperfect noises spread two-dimensionally, they travel over a insulation thus gives rise to two types of noise: the long distance without decaying and cause interference noise formed by the leakage current and that formed at remote locations. They have complex waveforms by the current through the railway track and the and it is technically impossible to remove them under feeder. the circumstances.* If the railway track could be To observe natural magnetic fields, we must completely insulated from the ground and if the quantitatively analyze the effects of magnetic field current supplied to drive the electric railcar could be disturbances caused by the leakage current from a DC made to flow only in a closed circuit from a power electric railcar.

  • Welcome to Kashiwa Campus the University of Tokyo
    Welcome to Kashiwa Campus The University of Tokyo Adventures in Knowledge Kashiwa Campus is the newest of the three main campuses of The University of Tokyo in addition to campuses at Hongo and Komaba, and was established with the vision of building a new community with a strong interdisciplinary and international character that can respond to the dynamic scientific and educational needs of the 21st Century. Hongo Campus, the core of traditional academic activities at The University of Tokyo since its foundation in 1877, and Komaba Campus, focusing on undergraduate studies and building interdisciplinary links between established fields of study for over 60 years, have longstanding academic traditions. Kashiwa Campus recently joined this family and aims at a fundamental reorganization of the structure of traditional academic disciplines, reconsidering the framework of how knowledge is created and organized. Under the slogan of “Adventures in Knowledge”, Kashiwa Campus has started various new initiatives. The Graduate School of Frontier Sciences (GSFS) consists of three divisions each with relevant departments: Division of Transdisciplinary Sciences, Division of Biosciences, and Division of Environmental Studies. GSFS aims to create new frontiers of academic fields. The Institute for Solid State Physics (ISSP) is exploring a wide variety of phenomena exhibited by various materials from the viewpoint of basic science using state-of-art experimental facilities and techniques. Materials under study include those forming the basis of today's high-tech society and its future development. The Institute for Cosmic Ray Research (ICRR) is pursuing the origins of the universe and matter through research on cosmic rays. The Atmosphere and Ocean Research Institute (AORI) not only promotes basic research on the ocean and atmosphere, but also contributes to society through deepening ocean and climate science.

    13th OECD-Japan Seminar Co-hosted by OECD, The University of Tokyo, and Ministry of Education Culture, Sports, Science and Technology-Japan (MEXT) Supported by Japan Society of Research on Early Childhood Care and Education, and Research Foundation of All Japan Private Kindergarten Federation “Pursuing Professional Development and Attaining Program Management and Leadership Quality in ECEC” June 7-8, 2010 International Conference Room, International Exchange Building, National Olympic Memorial Youth Center, Tokyo, Japan Objectives: Pursuing professional development and attaining program management and leadership quality in early childhood education and care have been recognized as significant issues internationally. As illustrated in the OECD project report “Improving School Leadership”(2008), we need to note that along with individualized professional development, developing professionalism as an entire entity is the key to raise knowledge-based quality in practice. During this two-days intensive seminar, we are conferring in the following two layers:, 1. How policy relates to professional development (administrative level) 2. How policy impact practice (practical level) Significant meaning of this OECD Japan seminar is to enable stakeholders in ECEC such as policy makers, academics, professional bodies, practitioners, parents, media, and journalists at local (sub-national), national, regional and international level to huddle together and canvass the issues. * All sessions will be carried out in English.
