if we go through the evolution of human society, we will come to know that plants have always played important role in human life. human settlement, quite often, shifted from one place to another in search of natural vegetation. whether man was hunter, or concentrated on animal husbandry, or even became cultivators, they needed green surrounding for their day-to-day life. the present paper tri...

Yoshida for their constant guidance and advice during research. for their warm friendship and constant supports during my three years in Kyoto University. My profound gratitude goes to the Ministry of Education, Sports, and Culture of Japan for providing me with the scholarship to study in Japan for three years. Finally, my deepest sense of gratitude goes to my parents. iii iv Executive Summary...

This study implements and tests a mathematical programming model to estimate interregional, interindustry transaction flows in a national system of economic regions based on an interregional accounting framework and initial information of interregional shipments. A national input–output (IO) table, regional data on gross output, value-added, exports, imports, and final demand at sector level ar...

This paper studies the implications of interregional redistributive taxation on interregional and interpersonal inequality and on social welfare. We introduce a model of two regions, where individuals are differentiated by their ability and opportunity, the former being determined by heritage and the latter by their residence. Moreover, agents are immobile and respond to interregional transfers...

The high mobility exhibited by both supported and suspended graphene, as well as its large in-plane thermal conductivity, has generated much excitement across a variety of applications. As exciting as these properties are, one of the principal issues inhibiting the development of graphene technologies pertains to difficulties in engineering high-quality metal contacts on graphene. As device dim...

Microglia are classically considered to be immune cells in the brain, but have now been proven to be involved in neuronal activity as well. Here we stereologically analyzed the spatial arrangement of microglia in the mouse hippocampus. First, we estimated the numerical densities (NDs) of microglia identified by ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecule 1 (Iba1). Despite that microglia appeared t...
