IwayaNakamachi 4-chome,Nada, Hyogo,657,Japan Abstract Considering from a point of view of the recycling of resources that melting fly ash produced by melting the fly ash and incineration residue discharged from incinerators of municipal refuse is useful resources of concentrated heavy metals, this paper presents acid extraction processes developed for using the useful heavy metals and salts produced from the fly ash and melting fly ash as the resources. This paper reports the acid extraction processes from the fly ash in terms of the operational results of AES Processes operated at present and the problems to be solved in the future. This paper also reports the application of the acid extraction processes to the melting fly ash in terms of the description of the separating recovery process of heavy metals operated at present in a bench scale, the experimental results and the problems to be solved in the future. 1. INTRODUCTION Approximately 50 million tons of the municipal refuse is discharged every year in Japan and 78% of it is incinerated. The bottom ash and the fly ash are produced as the incineration residue in the incinerators and the fly ash containing low-boiling heavy metals are treated and landfilled by any of four techniques (melting-solidification, cementing-solidification, chemical stabilization and acid extraction) designated for "Specially Controlled Municipal Wastes" by "the Waste Disposal and Public Cleansing Law". -

Industrial Report (C) JETRO Japan Economic Monthly, August 2005 Trends in the Pharmaceutical Industry Japanese Economy Division Summary The nature of Japan’s pharmaceutical market is changing. The market for generic drugs in Japan has been expanding in recent years. Major Japanese pharmaceutical companies have undertaken mergers and restructuring, and an increasing number of foreign pharmaceutical companies have entered the Japanese market recently by establishing joint ventures with Japanese drug companies or granting distribution rights for their products to Japanese firms. 1. Market Overview The Japanese pharmaceutical industry, buoyed by a rise in income levels and growing awareness about hygiene after World War II, has grown gradually in line with Japanese industry. The introduction of universal health insurance coverage in April 1961 triggered a soaring increase in domestic demand for medicines. The brisk development of new medicines based on technologies introduced from the West has enabled the industry to respond more quickly to market needs. As a result, the Japanese pharmaceutical industry is now second only to that of the United States.

A Study on the Collapse Control Design Method for High-Rise Steel Buildings
A Study on the Collapse Control Design Method for High-rise Steel Buildings by Akira Wada 1, Kenichi Ohi 2, Hiroyuki Suzuki 3, Mamoru Kohno 4 and Yoshifumi Sakumoto 5 ABSTRACT 1. INTRODUCTION Two direct causes led to the collapse on The collapse of the World Trade Center towers September 11, 2001 of the World Trade Center (WTC1 and WTC2) was the direct result of towers: column damage caused by aircraft crash column damage and large-scale fires caused by and the resulting large-scale fires. In spite of this airplane crashes. In spite of this, WTC1 and damage, the towers remained standing after the WTC2 remained standing for 102 minutes and crashes for 102 and 56 minutes, respectively, 56 minutes respectively, during which many during which many lives were saved. The lives were saved. The fact that so many lives collapse of the WTC towers, however, may be were saved is reportedly due to the large taken as an alert that local failures can trigger a deformation capacity or load redistribution progressive collapse. It was also a landmark capacity inherent in steel structures [1]. From event in that it alerted construction engineers to this, it can be understood that the tower the importance of preventing progressive structures of the World Trade Center (hereinafter collapse in similar structures. referred to as “WTC”) had a certain degree of redundancy. Nevertheless, the WTC collapse Prevention of progressive collapse requires the serves as a warning about progressive collapse development of design technologies for frames triggered by a local collapse that causes an that have high redundancy.
