An Analysis of the ICNND: The Japan-Australia Collaboration for Nuclear Abolition

Akimoto, Daisuke 서울대학교 통일평화연구원 2014 Asian Journal of Peacebuilding Vol.2 No.1

The Japanese and Australian governments supported the establishment of the International Commission on Nuclear Non-proliferation and Disarmament (ICNND) in 2008. During its two-year mandate, the ICNND organized international conferences in Sydney, Washington, Moscow, and Hiroshima. The commission made specific proposals in a final report entitled Eliminating Nuclear Threats: A Practical Agenda for Global Policy Makers. This research note examines the significance of the report, while paying special attention to its limitations. In particular, this study criticizes the nuclear policies of Japan and Australia that have depended upon U.S. extended nuclear deterrence and peaceful use of atomic energy. Finally, it suggests five alternatives for Japan and Australia so that both countries can resume further endeavors towards a world free of nuclear threats.

Excitation energy transfer from carotenoids probed by femtosecond time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy

Akimoto, Seiji,Yamazaki, Iwao,Mimuro, Mamoru Korean Society of Photoscience 2002 Journal of Photosciences Vol.9 No.2

Fluorescence rise and decay curves of carotenoids were measured in solutions and in pigment protein complexes with a femtosecond time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. For linear carotenoids, the S$_2$ lifetimes showed the maximum value around n = 9-10. The conjugation of a keto-carbonyl group shortened the S$_2$lifetime and prolonged the S$_1$lifetime. The excitation relaxation dynamics within carotenoids and the excitation energy transfer kinetics from carotenoids to chlorophylls are discussed as a function of molecular structure of carotenoids.

New Aspects of the Correlation Functions in Non-Hyperbolic Chaotic Systems

Takuma Akimoto,Yoji Aizawa 한국물리학회 2007 THE JOURNAL OF THE KOREAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY Vol.50 No.1I

The initial ensemble dependence of statistical laws in non-hyperbolic dynamical systems with in.nite ergodicity are studied by use of the modi.ed Bernoulli maps. We show that statistical laws crucially depend on the initial ensemble and that the time average for the Lyapunov exponent converges in distribution for the non-stationary regime. This is completely consistent with the Darling-Kac-Aaronson (DKA) limit theorem from the fact that the Lyapunov exponent is an L1 ¹- class function. Next, we study the correlation function, which is not an L1 ¹-class function. The most remarkable result is that the transformed correlation function also reveals uniform convergence in distribution in the same sense of the DKA limit theorem.

A unsteady RaNS code is applied to simulate MOERI container ship model, KCS, in regular head sea conditions. Various combinations of Froude's number, wave length and wave height are simulated. With respect to the integral quantities, a comparison between simulation and experimental results shows that the computed amplitude of heave and pitch motions are in well agreement each other. However, the first-order harmonic amplitudes of heave are significantly under predicted by the present simulations.

The Threat of Maritime Terrorism and Responses: The Zone of Threat and the Sea-Lanes in a Global Strategy Map

( Kazumine Akimoto ) 한국국방연구원 2006 The Korean Journal of Defense Analysis Vol.18 No.2

There are various arguments over the threat of maritime terror and its damage assessment. It is mostly pointless to discuss the possibility of maritime terrorism. Terrorists think of an action that is beyond our imagination. If someone had given a warning about a terrorist attack on several symbolic buildings using hijacked aircraft before September 11, he should have been given the name of "the boy who cried wolf." All that`s required is an apt projection. It is important to step into the terrorists` shoes to anticipate every conceivable shocking event and project the damage that could be carried out in the world`s busy sea-lanes or giant hub ports. Terrorism is not just a matter of peace and order. Responses to terrorism inevitably bring a change to the strategic structure of the world. In order not to bring about an unstable strategic structure, an anti-terror war is required to approach it from three directions of deterring terrorism, stabilizing the security environment and redressing the stage where terrorism will survive. To this end, as a new security concept, "Coexisting Security" is proposed as its basis. This paper touches on what sort of maritime terrorism could be carried out and how much damage would be wrought. And then, it introduces the linkages between the global strategic framework and the war on terror, and explores the fight against terrorism.

2017年の日本国民法(債權法改)定で約款規制(定型約款)を規制

Koyama Akimoto 서강대학교 법학연구소 2019 서강법률논총 Vol.8 No.1

In this presentation, we will examine the contents of the regulation of terms and conditions in the Japanese Civil Code. First, Article 548-2 of the Civil Code stipulates the two requirements for the agreement of terms contracts in a special form. According to the above provision, if a person has agreed to the intent of the contents of formal terms and conditions (subparagraph 1) or if a 'formal terms and conditions preparer' has indicated the contractual contents of the contractual terms to the other party in advance (subparagraph 2), it is deemed that the counterparties of the formal terms and conditions reached an agreement to the individual clauses. In addition, pursuant to Article 548-3 (1) of the Civil Code of Japan, it is stipulated that, in the case where the other party makes a request, the preparer of the formal contract must present the contents of the formal contract, and there is no obligation to disclose. About this, from the viewpoint of consumer protection, it is desirable to make the principle of preliminary disclosure of the contents of the agreement and the requirements of the agreement of the counterparty customer in principle, and to revise the deemed provision to the presumed provision. There is criticism that it is necessary to recognize the right of withdrawal and cancellation from the contract according to the amendment of the terms and conditions. In addition, since the "unspecified majority" customers are almost consumers for the "regular transaction", the regulation concerning the formal terms and conditions is often overlapped with the discipline concerning the consumer transaction contract. Second, Paragraph 2 of Article 548-2 excludes the case of violation of the basic principle of the good faith in the light of the type of regular transaction, its conditions and the social common notion in transaction and unilaterally harming the other party's profits from the deemed agreement. The above provision stipulates that the binding of the parties to the provisions of the formal contract shall not be construed solely in terms of the contents of the provision, but that the other party shall not be bound by the fact that the other party does not clearly recognize the provision. 本発表文では, 日本民法改正に示された約款規制の内容を見てみよう. まず, 日本民法第548条の2は, 二つの定型約款の合意議題の要件を規定している. 上記の規定によれば, 定型取引合意をした者は, 定型約款を契約内容とした旨の合意をした場合(第1号), "定型約款準備者"が事前にその定型約款を契約内容とした趣旨を相手方に示した場合(第2号), 定型約款個別の条項に対しても合意したとみている. また, 日本 民法第548条の3第1項によれば, 相手方が請求した場合には, 定型約款の準備者は, 定型約款の内容を提示しなければならないとして請求がない限り, 約款内容の事前開示義務がないと規定している. これに対し, 消費者保護の観点からは, 約款内容の原則的な事前開示と相手方の顧客同意の要件を原則化し, 擬制規定を推定規定に改定することが望ましく, 約款変更によって相手方に契約で撤回権, 解約権を認めることが必要だという批判がある. また, "定型取引"については, "不特定多数"の顧客は, ほぼ消費者であるといえるため, 定型約款に関する規律は, 消費者取引約款に関する規律と重複するものが多い. 次に, 第548条の2第2項では, 定型取引の態樣とその実情及び取引上の社会通念に照 らして信義則の基本原則に違反し, 相手側の利益を一方的に害すると認められる場合は 合意議題から外しているところ, 上の条項は定型約款のうち, 条項に当事者拘束の可否 は当該条項の内容面で不当性だけを考えるのではなく, 相手が当該条項を明確に認識で きないことを追加して相手がこれに拘束されないものとしたものである.

Benjamin Strong and International Financial Cooperation during the 1920s

Eiichi Akimoto 서울대학교 미국학연구소 2010 미국학 Vol.33 No.1

Benjamin Strong (1872-1928) was an “elite” banker, who first engaged in founding of the Federal Reserve System in 1913. Later he served as governor of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (1914-1928). Already in 1916 Strong found that he had tuberculosis. After struggling for years, the disease would finally take his life. In their A Monetary History of the United States, Friedman and Schwartz wrote: If Strong had still alive and head of the New York Bank in the fall of 1930, he would very likely have recognized the oncoming liquidity crisis for what it was, would have been prepared by experience and conviction to take strenuous and appropriate measures to head it off, and would have had the standing to carry the System with him. When Strong was governor of the FRB of New York, the system itself was in its infancy, and the New York bank was more powerful than the Federal Reserve Board itself. Strong played a similar role of Ben Bernanke, the current Chairman of the Board of Governors of the United States Federal Reserve, although organizationally the New York Bank was just only one of twelve regional banks under the FRB. Strong’s most important task was to recover and stabilize world economy through the restoration of world gold standard and he needed cooperation of Montague Norman of the Bank of England among others, and also of Emile Moreau of the Bank of France, and Hjalmar Schacht of the Reichsbank of Germany in these efforts. He succeeded in rebuilding the gold standard beginning with Britain. The reconstructed monetary system was different from the prewar system governed by Britain, mainly because of the heavy concentration of gold to the U.S. and France. Strong took great pains to control the rates of interest to avoid deflation on the one hand, and to “sterilize” gold coming into the U.S. to keep off inflation on the other. The international financial cooperation led by Strong had been disintegrating towards the end of 1920s, because the alienation of economic interests between the U.S. and European countries inevitably widened during this period.
