543-0026, Japan Abstract This paper analyzed spring (April) and autumn (October) climate change in Osaka City, central Japan, during the period from 1883 (or 1890) to 2006. During these 124 (or 117) years, the April monthly means of daily mean, maximum, and minimum air temperature increased by 2.3°C, 1.9°C, and 3.2°C, respectively, while the relative humidity decreased by 16%. The relative humidity decreased at a low rate of 4.1% per 100 years in 1883-1940, but at a high rate of 17% per 100 years in 1941-2006. The October monthly means of daily mean, maximum, and minimum air temperature increased by 2.5°C, 1.8°C, and 3.6°C, respectively, while the relative humidity decreased by 12%. The relative humidity stayed at a higher level in 1883-1940, decreased at a high rate of 29% per 100 years in 1941-1980, then stayed again at a lower level in 1981-2006. An influence of urbanization on climate change from the middle of the 20th century was suggested by the April and most of the October data. No such influence was however indicated by the October monthly average of daily

In recent years a marked "heat island" phenomenon has been noted in urban areas, but with specific local characteristics, so that specific procedures for climate moderation will be needed for each region. The characteristics of air temperature distribution in summer are different in each region and time zone. The air temperature of regions in low latitudes is not necessarily high in August. In the daytime, the temperature rise is in some cases greater in the suburbs than in the center of the city. The study of the time-space distribution of energy supply in Osaka City revealed that the electric power supply amount per unit of floor area differs considerably between central commercial and business districts and suburban residential districts. Data obtained through the Heat Island Measurement Network of Osaka City showed that the air temperature rose from the west to the east in the daytime. On the other hand, at night and in the early morning, the temperature was highest in the center of the city. The study demonstrates the relationship between these typical urban areas and the heat island phenomenon and suggests that a detailed menu that takes account of the character of each area is necessary. In order to take more effective measures, it is important to characterize each area and to bring entrepreneurs and residents to understand the need for them.

Climate change in urban areas is affected by global trends such as global warming and by local trends such as heatisland phenomenon. Heat islands are formed in urban areas by urbanization. This paper analyzed summer (August) climate change in Osaka City, central Japan, during the period from 1883 (or 1890) to 2006 using the monthly means or totals of six climate parameters. During these 124 (or 117) years, the monthly means of daily mean, maximum and minimum air temperature increased by 2.0°C, 1.5°C, and 2.7°C, respectively, while the relative humidity and the duration of sunshine decreased by 11% and 33 hours, respectively. Rainfall showed a stable trend with large fluctuations. Relative humidity decreased at a very low rate (2.7%/100 years) in 1883-1950, but at a higher rate (13%/100 years) in 1951-2006. Regression of the three temperature parameters and relative humidity to rainfall and sunshine values suggested that the trend difference in temperature and humidity change from the middle of the 20th century cannot be explained by only local natural factors such as rainfall and sunshine, but is mainly due to

A placebo-controlled, double-blind study was performed to assess the safety of excessive intake of yogurt containing more than 107 cfu/g of Bifidobacterium lactis Bb-12. Fifty-seven volunteers with fecal frequency of less than five times per week were enrolled. The effect of the food on defecation was also examined. Two-week administration of the test food (more than three times the daily recommended intake) did not affect blood pressure, hematological data, blood chemistry or urinalysis. No abnormal changes or severe adverse events related to the test food were observed. The test food significantly increased the fecal frequency of mildly constipated subjects but placebo yogurt had a similar effect. Placebo yogurt tended to reduce stool hardness while the test food increased the frequency of stool with normal hardness maintained. These data indicate that yogurt containing Bifidobacterium lactis Bb-12 is safe in healthy subjects and that it has beneficial effects on defecation in mildly constipated subjects.
