Research @ Tohoku University
Tohoku University has been consistently ranked among Japan's leading academic institutions since its establishment in 1907. It is also home to leading, groundbreaking research - most notably in materials science, physics and chemistry - and actively encourages academic-industry-government cooperation.
Since the Great East Japan Earthquake, the university has played a key role in supporting
the region’s reconstruction efforts, and is continuing to provide disaster science expertise to the world.

Lessons Learned from the 2011 Tohoku, Japan, Earthquake
During the last 45 years, Professor James O. Jirsa has had a long and distinguished career as a Professor of civil engineering and as a student advisor at the University of Nebraska, Rice University, and the University of Texas at Austin. He has been at the forefront of structural engineering by making outstanding contributions to concrete research and design. Most notably, his contributions to reinforced concrete include his work in slabs, shear, bond and development length, and the seismic strengthening of reinforced concrete elements and systems. An ACI Honorary Member, Jirsa is a Past President of the Institute, a former Board member, and a Past Chair of many technical committees, including the Technical Activities Committee (TAC); ACI Subcommittee 318-F, New Materials, Products, and Ideas; and Joint ACI-ASCE Committees 352, Joints and Connections in Monolithic Concrete Structures, and 408, Development and Splicing of Deformed Bars; and has been a member of ACI Committee 318, Structural Concrete Building Code since 1982. Students, researchers, practicing engineers, and contractors are expected to attend. The material presented will cover state-of-the-art information in the aforementioned areas.

Greetings from Tohoku University for Tufts World Health Day 2013
I want to send our sincere greetings to Tufts University on 2013 World Health Day.
My name is Motoyuki Sato. I am from Sendai, Japan and represent Tohoku University.
I was attending a meeting in a lecture room at Tohoku University, located inside the city of Sendai, on the afternoon of March 11th, 2011. A strong earthquake stuck us, and we immediately felt that this was not a normal-scale quake. Electricity was interrupted immediately, and we spent a dark and very silent night. I could not get any information about the damage to our country on that day, although we knew that a substantial tsunami had struck East Japan. Only on the next day did I learn that the tsunami had flooded many towns and villages near Sendai.
Sendai is one of the major cities in Northeast Japan, and it has a population of 1 million. Sendai is located 150 km from the epicenter of the earthquake of March 11th. More than 700 people were killed inside Sendai city alone, and more than 15,000 were killed with still more than 5,000 missing all over Japan. Fortunately, after two years, Sendai has nearly recovered to its normal functioning, and for most of us our daily routine has returned.
Natural disasters are always a very large threat to us all over the world. After the earthquake, we used a good deal of remotely sensed data to understand the damage caused by the disaster. This is a very good and important opportunity for us to show what remote sensing technology can contribute to disaster prediction, detection, and mitigation.
I have settled Ground-Based Synthetic Aperture Radar (GB-SAR) at landslide site north of Sendai, and established a system to provide early warning to the local community. I have developed a Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) sensor (ALIS) for detection of buried landmines, and ALIS is now working in Cambodia. Our task is using radio science for human safety.
We hope that Tufts World Health Day can be a good chance for informing the importance of technology and science for our safe society.

These include attending the university to seek an academic degree, as a foreign research student, on an exchange program with partner universities, and to participate in the Japanese Language and Culture Program Preparatory Course (Bekka) for the purpose of preparing to study at an undergraduate or graduate school in Japan. We also offer courses to study about Japanese language and culture, in addition to our Summer School program for students to study courses in their faculty in the English language in a short period of time.
Kansai University is located in the historic and traditional town of Osaka. The university offers 13 departments (Law / Letters / Economics / Business and Commerce / Sociology / Policy Studies / Foreign Language Studies / Health and Well-being / Informatics / Societal Safety Sciences / Engineering Science / Environmental and Urban Engineering / Chemistry, Materials and Bioengineering), 13 research divisions (Law / Letters / Economics / Business and Commerce / Sociology / Informatics / Engineering Science / Foreign Language Education and Research / Psychology / Societal Safety Sciences / East Asian Cultures / Governance / Health and Well-being), and 3 professional graduate schools (School of Law / School of Accountancy / Graduate School of Professional Clinical Psychology). There are approximately 30,000 students attending the above, including many students from outside of Japan.
