F. M. Zain2 and Maslina Jamil1 1Department of Architecture, Faculty of Engineering, National University of Malaysia (UKM), Malaysia. 2Deputy Dean, Faculty of Engineering, National University of Malaysia (UKM), Malaysia. Accepted 27 June, 2011 A bridge is a structure built to span physical obstacle such as a body of water, city, or road, for the purpose of providing passage over the obstacle. Bridges are a unique offshoot of architecture and possess their own associated terms, components and styles. This paper presents the second part of Japanese bridges by investigating architectural aspects of its design. Limited usable land in heavily populated areas of Japan has often necessitated the design of unique bridge approaches. One of such design is the spiral viaduct bridge approach. When this design is used, care is taken to make the structures aesthetically appealing. An important reason for the bridge construction will lead into a critical study of bridge aesthetics and structural design. According to the configuration of frameworks, bridges may be described as arched, girdered and cable stayed or suspension. Refereeing to Japanese bridges, those most frequently provided cable stayed in the construction of bridges are important factor in architecture and bridges aesthetic. This paper presents a brief history of bridge design in Japan, and then discusses the influence of technical factors on Japan bridges design.

  • A Checklist and Bibliography of Parasites of Salmonids of Japan
    ;r c j . 3 $JJ#~,Sci. Rep. Hokkaido Salmon Hatchery, (41) : 1-75 (1987) A Checklist and Bibliography of Parasites of Salmonids of Japan Kazuya NAGASAWA*',Shigehiko URAWA", and Teruhiko AWAKURA*~ Abstract Information on the parasites of salmonids in Japanese waters that was published during the years 1889-1986 is assembled in the form of Parasite-Host and Host- Parasite lists with accompanying bibliography. Ninety-four named species of parasites (18 Protozoa, 5 Monogenea, 21 Trematoda, 7 Cestoidea, 19 Nematoda, 15 Acanthocephala, 1 Hirudinoidea, 1 Mollusca, 1 Branchiura, 5 Copepoda, 1 Isopoda) have been reported, and numerous other parasites not identified to species level are also included. The Parasite-Host list, arranged on a taxonomic basis, includes for each parasite species its currently recognized scientific name, and synonyms oc- curring in the literature, habitat (freshwater or marine), location of infection (site) within the host, species of host(s), known geographical distribution in Japanese waters, and the published source for each host and locality record. Where neces- sary, remarks and footnotes dealing with such topics as taxonomy, nomenclature, and misidentifications are included. The Host-Parasite list summarizes the species of parasites from each species of salmonid and their geographical distributions. Although taxonomic revision is not the aim of the checklist, the following three new combinations and one new synonym are proposed : Microsporidium takedai (Awa- kura, 1974) n. comb. for Nosemu tukedui ; Sterliudochonu ephemeridurum (Linstow, 1872) n. comb. for Cystidicoloides ephemeridurum ; and Salvelinema ishii (Fujita, 1941) new synonym of S. salvelini (Fujita, 1939) n. comb. for Metabronemu salvelini.

A rare freshwater goby Odontobutis hikimius Iwata & Sakai, 2002 was collected from the Nishiki River flowing into the Seta Inland Sea. The species was described based on specimens from three rivers flow- ing into the Sea of Japan, the Takatsu, Tama, and Masuda Rivers, as an endemically distributed new species. The Nishiki River flows the southern slope of the drainage divide opposite to the Takatsu River. It is thought that the Fukatani River that was a tributary of the Takatsu River has become a tributary of the Nishiki River due to a stream capture event. Following this event Odontobutis hikimius possibly immigrated to the Nishiki River system from the Takatsu River system. Key words: freshwater goby, Odontobutis hikimius, new locality, stream capture, immigration, morphology Introduction Specimens collected from the Nishiki River are identified with O. hikimius morphologically (Fig. 1).

  • Revitalizing Local Communities Through Tourism: Contribution of NPO "Hot Nishiki"
    Revitalizing local communities through tourism: Contribution of NPO "Hot Nishiki" Ni Made Sofia Wijaya * (Abstract) This paper examines a nonprofit organization contribution to local economic. social and cultural revitalization through tourism activities. A school excursion program and Furusato (Home place) festival at Yamashiro District can be examples of tourism activities in this rural area. These events are currently run by the "Hot Nishiki" nonprofit Organization, the local community and lo- cal government. The emphasis of this paper is placed on how the "Hot Nishiki" got involved in the rural tourism in an effort to help local life and revitalization at Yamashiro District. The research concludes that challenges to mitigate the problems of an aging society and depopulation are being made through rural tourism. The paper clarifies the importance of local community support to the development of rural tourism as an approach to make the local community active and contribute to rural revitalization. Keywords: NPO "Hot Nishiki". local community, revitalization. rural tourism Introduction The population decline puts rural areas in a difficult situation. Recent years have seen moves to supplement community functions in small scale communities with many elderly people. To regenerate rural areas, it is important to promote initiatives to develop agriculture into a "sixth industry" that can help revitalize rural areas, and thereby improve income levels and increase employment opportunities (MAFF, 2009). The previous research on contemporary problem in Japan's rural and opportunities in developing rural tourism has been undertaken. research focused on the same area, Yamashiro District. This previous research examined the problems faced at Yamashiro District related to the decline of population and the potential of rural tourism as an alternative to solve the problems facing.

  • Sediment Transport in Coastal Waters
    Water | Special Issue : Sediment Transport in Coastal Waters http://www.mdpi.com/journal/water/special_issues/coastal_waters Special Issue "Sediment Transport in Coastal Waters" A special issue of Water (/journal/water) (ISSN 2073-4441). Deadline for manuscript submissions: closed (30 June 2017) Special Issue Editor Guest Editor Dr. Sylvain Ouillon Institut de Recherche Pour le Développement (IRD), LEGOS, Université de Toulouse, 14 av. Edouard Belin, 31400 Toulouse, France Website (http://www.legos.obs-mip.fr/ouillon) | E-Mail () Interests: sediment dynamics, sediment processes; watershed; estuaries; coastal oceanography; effects of climate change and human activity on sediment budget; ocean color in coastal waters and applications; numerical modeling Special Issue Information Dear Colleagues, Globally, while land erosion has increased in the last decades, sediment input to the ocean has decreased. Sediment transport and distribution at the land-ocean interface has huge impacts on morphodynamics of estuaries, deltas and coastal zones, on water quality (and related issues such as aquaculture), on navigation and harbor capability, on recreation areas, etc. Scientific objectives must be achieved to deepen our knowledge on processes based on field surveys, modeling, space observation or experiments in laboratory, to refine the sediment budget (bedload and suspension) between compartments, and to improve our observation and modelling capacities. Sediment transport which is mainly driven by varying dynamical forcings (currents, tides, wind, waves, turbulence, stratification, density currents, etc.) in the estuary, in the ROFI zone, on the shelf or in canyons may also be affected by chemical and biological processes. In this Special Issue, we invite scientists working on different aspects of sediment transport, in muddy, sandy or mixed environments, to share their most recent results and give reviews or examples encompassing different aspects of sediment transport in coastal zones at different scales.
