8600 Series Limited Express DC EMU for Shikoku Railway Company
New Product Introduction 8600 Series Limited Express DC EMU for Shikoku Railway Company After the 8600 Series limited express DC EMUs were put into service in the Takamatsu–Matsuyama section in June 2014, the same EMUs were put into service in the Okayama/Takamatsu–Matsuyama section in March 2016. These cars replaced the 2000 Series limited express diesel railcars that had operated as the Limited Express "Shiokaze" and "Ishizuchi," fulfilling the role of the limited express system for the Yosan Line. This is the first new production of limited express EMUs for the Shikoku Railway Company in 21 years. These cars incorporate state-of-the-art technologies, including a carbody tilting control system and LED room lights to reduce costs, save energy and help preserve the environment. Kawasaki manufactured and delivered four pre-volume production cars and 10 volume production cars. volume production cars (2 train sets × 2 train sets) and 10 Introduction volume production cars (2 train sets × 2 train sets plus 3 Shikoku Railway Company had been planning to train sets × 2 train sets). reorganize the rolling stock for the limited express service in the electrified section of the Yosan Line, which connects 2 Features Takamatsu with Matsuyama, to only consist of EMUs in order to reduce costs and replace the aging Series 2000 (1) Design concept limited express diesel railcars. The 8600 Series limited express DC EMU has been In addition, the company wanted to have the new cars designed to be a futuristic limited express train with a serve as a guide for the limited express cars to be nostalgic image based on a retrofuturism design concept. -

In paragraph 2 e. of its communication, Japan mentions that JR Kyushu is now financially independent. However, Canada notes that JR Kyushu has been granted a management stabilization fund of 3,877 billion yen from the national government, which will continue to subsidize the company beyond 1 April 2016. Furthermore, and contrary to what was done for the East, Central and West Japan Railway Companies, JR Kyushu is not required to reimburse the management stabilization fund to the Government of Japan. How does this fund affect the classification of JR Kyushu as a "financially independent" entity? Can the Government of Japan ask for reimbursement of the management stabilization fund in the future? At the time of the division and privatization of Japan National Railways, the Management Stabilization Fund was established in Kyushu Railway Company, Hokkaido Railway Company and Shikoku Railway Company respectively in order to stabilize their business with the investment profit of the Fund. -
Relationship Between Estuarine Shellfish Fauna and Physical Environmental Characteristics for Estuary Conservation in Kyushu, Japan
Current World Environment Vol. 10(3), 715-728 (2015) Relationship Between Estuarine Shellfish Fauna and Physical Environmental Characteristics for Estuary Conservation in Kyushu, Japan REI ITSUKUSHIMA1* and YUKIHIRO SHIMATANI2 1Department of Decision Science for Sustainable Society, Kyushu University, 744, Motooka, Nishi-ku, Fukuoka 819-0395, Japan. 2Department of Urban and Environmental Engineering, Kyushu University, 744, Motooka, Nishi-ku, Fukuoka 819-0395, Japan. http://dx.doi.org/10.12944/CWE.10.3.01 (Received: November 29, 2015; Accepted: December 13, 2015) ABSTRACT The establishment of a conservation strategy or restoration goal for river estuaries requires knowledge of potential biota or possible habitat characteristics. In this study, we investigated the relationship between estuarine fauna and macro scale physical indicators on Kyushu Island, Japan to provide basic information for estuarine conservation. As a result of the classification of shellfish fauna by similarity, the Kyushu region was divided into three groups, namely, 1) southern Kyushu with high wave exposure, long fetch, and low tidal variation; 2) the Ariake and Yatsushiro seas with low wave exposure, short fetch, and high tidal variation; and 3) northern Kyushu with an intermediate fetch and tidal variation. In addition, a number of sites, such as Nakatsu Port, Sone tideland, and the Honmyou River, were classified into geographically different groups. This is because the physical characteristics of these sites were similar to classified groups or shellfish fauna were significantly altered by artificial impacts. As a result of discriminant analysis, the discrimination hit rate of species inhabiting the inner bay or tidal flat was high, whereas that for species using a wide variety of bottom sediment environment was low. -
