  • 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.

  • Collusion in Auctions with Constrained Bids: Theory and Evidence from Public Procurement∗
    Collusion in Auctions with Constrained Bids: Theory and Evidence from Public Procurement∗ Sylvain Chassang Juan Ortner† New York University Boston University April 9, 2018 Abstract We study the mechanics of cartel enforcement and its interaction with bidding con- straints in the context of repeated procurement auctions. Under collusion, bidding constraints weaken cartels by limiting the scope for punishment. This yields a test of repeated-game collusive behavior exploiting the counter-intuitive prediction that in- troducing minimum prices can lower the distribution of winning bids. The model's predictions are borne out in procurement data from Japan, where we find evidence that collusion is weakened by the introduction of minimum prices. A robust design insight is that setting a minimum price at the bottom of the observed distribution of winning bids necessarily improves over a minimum price of zero. Keywords: collusion, cartel enforcement, minimum prices, entry deterrence, pro- curement. ∗We are especially grateful to Rieko Ishii for pointing us towards appropriate data and sharing with us her knowledge of institutions. The paper benefited from thoughtful discussions by Andrea Prat and Joseph Harrington.

We collect the damage data of the systems by carrying out interviews for related local government sectors. We quantify two damage ratios R on physical damage points and RL on disrupted pipeline lengths, for 14 municipalities in Ibaraki prefecture and 8 municipalities in Chiba prefecture. Key Words: The 2011 off the Pacific Coast of Tohoku earthquake, water supply system, sewerage system, damage ratio, fragility curve ITRODUCTIO Water supply systems and sewerage systems were severely damaged at the 2011 off the Pacific Coast of Tohoku earthquake and tsunami which occurred on March 11, 2011. It caused large influence to social and economic activities since our society is strongly dependent on water treatment systems.
