13 The aim of this project is to investigate major factors limiting the 
   diffusion of important countermeasures in the power generation sector, 
   such as renewables and highly efficient power generation technologies. 
   The scope of the study includes the estimation of nationwide variability 
   of renewable energy resources, the estimation of impacts on the existing 
   power system, and the life cycle assessment of countermeasure technologies.

13 The aim of this study is to investigate on forcasting and evaluation of 
   various energy technologies with efforts to fulfill the requirements for 
   preserving better environment and for securing stable supply of energy. 
   Its present major task involves studies on the Global Optimal Assessment 
   Links (GOAL) in which interractions between energy technologies and various
   factors such as population,foods and economic activities are modeled with an 
   advanced system analysis technique on the global scale.

13 The aim of this study is to contribute an efficient promotion of research 
   and development (R&D) in the field of energy technologies by evaluating them 
   from the viewpoints of global warming mitigation and invested R&D resources, 
   such as expenditure on R&D.Main subjects of this study is as follows,- To 
   estimate relationships between invested R&D resources and energy efficiency 
   improvement in energy technologies statistically and model their relationship 
   by a function,- To give an optimal allocation of resources to R&D in energy 
   technologies which have great potential of global warming mitigation through 
   energy efficiency improvement by formulating with mathematical programing.

13 The aim of this study is to estimate photodissociation life times of 
   atmospheric trace gases at several altitudes because these gases make some 
   effect on an increase in the global temperature.  Photoabsorption cross 
   sections of the gases have been measured and intensities of solar ultraviolet 
   radiations were calculated.
