	Japan: Environmental Issue (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Japan has been a strong supporter of efforts to combat global warming and played host to the conference that led to the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which was finalized in December 1997.
		Japan consumed just 172.2 million Btu per person in 2001, around half of the United States' rate of 341.8 million Btu per person.This low consumption rate is primarily due to the rapid adoption of energy efficient technologies and government-mandated energy savings initiatives.
		Japan would like to be able to increase nuclear energy consumption both to improve its energy security, and to reduce its carbon emissions.

	Effects of Flood Flow on Flood Plain Soil and Riparian Vegetation in a Gravel River (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Field observations were performed to determine the effects of flood flow on the geometrical and chemical characteristics of flood plain soil and the distribution of riparian vegetation in a gravel river.
		The results of the observations show a decrease in the amounts of the particulate nutrients in the flood plain soil during fairly large flood, because the fine sands that serve as a nutrient source were removed by the flood flow.
		Numerical simulations for the transport of suspended sediments were performed by varying the peak discharge of the flood, and the change of the particulate nutrients in flood plain soil was estimated by using the results of the simulations.
