  • In this paper we investigate the history of the education based on STEM which is one of the topics of teaching method of Mathematics and Science oriented to the student, Hand-on education be applying partly to college education and the case of the education of the subject "Mathematics and Science for Engineering" of Japan's college. The educational method based on STEM make the student to recognize by themselves the necessity of the mathematics in the study of the technological and engineering problem, and furthermore draw a conclusion which is the proper method to change from passive to positive the study attitude for the mathematics. But it is more or less unreasonable to apply directly to college education with not physical fusion but chemical fusion of S (science), T (technology), E (engineering) and M (mathematics). Therefore we make themselves to find T and E considered at graduation works. We propose Pseudo-STEM teaching method linking this recognition obtained through self-activity to the mathematics subject.

  • The goal of today's environmental education is to enhance the understanding of the serious of environmental problems and the interactions among environment. With this perspectives people need to be aware that environmental education is no longer a liberal arts in university education, but play a vital role within the socio-cultural context. This study was performed to assess the changes in the university student's attitudes and consciousness in real life after the education of a point at issues of environmental problems. For this study 11 questionnaires which were composed of large scale environmental problems(water and air pollution), and small scale environmental problems(food additives, GMO, endocrine disrupter) were performed with self-administered by university students(n=781) who made a application for liberal arts related to environmental subjects. According to the analysis the most student's consciousness of a point at issue of environmental problems(water pollution, air pollution, additives, GMO, endocrine disrupter), and practical attitudes(i.e., practical attendant at congregation and internet voting) were change statistically significant(p<0.01) after the education of a point at issue of environmental problems rather than before. Specially, the score for the item of the large scale problem of environmental issues(water pollution, air pollution) were decreased significantly(p<0.01), but the score for the small scale problems, such as food additives, GMO, endocrine disrupter were increased significantly(p<0.01) after the education of a point at issue of environmental problems(p<0.01). And among the students that participated, 97.7% responded that such a point at issues of environmental problem is needed at the university. With this educational improvements supports the states that the education of a point at issue of environmental problems were more essential, practical and needed to students at university rather than that of an existing instruction. Thus, further studies are required to develop the education of environmental issues at universities like STSE programme.

  • We study the identification problems of constant parameters appearing in the perturbed sine-Gordon equation with the Neumann boundary condition. The existence of optimal parameters is proved, and necessary conditions are established for several types of observations by utilizing quadratic optimal control theory due to Lions [13].

  • This paper studies the properties of solutions of the Riccati equation arising from the quadratic optimal control problem of the general damped second order system. Using the semigroup theory, we establish the weak differential characterization of the Riccati equation for a general class of the second order distributed systems with arbitrary damping terms.

  • We Study the Problems Of identification for the damped sine-Gordon equations with constant parameters. That is, we establish the existence and necessary conditions for the optimal constant parameters based on the fundamental optimal control theory and the transposition method studied in Lions and Magenes [5].

  • Identification problems for the system governed by abstract nonlinear damped second order evolution equations are studied. Since unknown parameters are included in the diffusion operator, we can not simply identify them by using the usual optimal control theories. In this paper we present how to solve our identification problems via the method of transposition.

  • We consider the empirical Bayes estimation problems with the binomial and normal components when the prior distributions are unknown but are assumed to be in certain families. There may be the families of all distributions on the parameter space or subfamilies such as the parametric families of conjugate priors. We treat both cases and establish the asymptotic optimality for the corresponding decision procedures.

  • Cameron and Storvick discovered change of scale formulas for Wiener integrals on classical Wiener space. Yoo and Skoug extended this result to an abstract Wiener space. In this paper, we investigate a change of scale formula for generalized Wiener integrals of various functions using the generalized Fourier-Feynman transform.

  • To modify the toughness of epoxy for matrix, succinonitrile(SN) was introduced to diglycidy1 ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA)/methylene dianiline(MDA)system. Cure reaction mdchanism of the DGEBA/MDA/SN system was strdied through Fourier transform infrared(FT-IR) spectrometry. As a result, the reaction of nitrile group of SN with secondary amine and with hydroxy1 group prevented the reaction of hydroxy1 group with epoxide group from crossoinding. Nitrile groups produced amide group by reacting with hydroxy1 groups and made a lowered crosslind density in chain networks.
