The AIST was created by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) in 1948. Its main activities involve planning industrial S T policies and national R D projects, conducting R D in AIST laboratories, promotion of R D in the private sector, promoting international cooperation and developing national standardization policies. By 1995, AIST had accumulated 10888 patents, from which 1666 were foreign patents. 

One of the authors (M. A.) is greatly indebted to the Petroleum Energy (PEC) supported by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development (NEDO) as well as The Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) and tlie 1998 Mitsubishi Eoundation for their financial support. 

Peter Koen, Stevens Institute Several years ago I looked at the amount of money Japan was putting into its Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI, in 2001 reorganized to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry) and compared it to ATP. I expected ATP to be funded to the tune of at least a few billion dollars, but it is not. What is wrong How are we sending out the message so that our congressmen and our representatives don t understand the importance of funding the basic research ... 

Japan s Ministry of International Trade has published several books with detailed information on biodegradation tests of several hundred chemicals. This information has now also been made available by the Japan Chemical Industry Ecology-Toxicology and Information Center (JETOC) see Chapter 14 for more details on the MITI biodegradation database. The JETOC also published a compendium of mutagenicity test data of several hundred chemicals. The books can be purchased from JETOC and partial data can be found at various websites, such as members.jcom.home.ne.jp/mo-ishidate/. 

Japan s Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) was formed in 1949 and reorganized as the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) in 2001. METI is responsible for The Chemical Substances Control Law. It focuses on properties of chemical substances such as persistence, bioaccumulation, long-term toxicity to humans, and toxicity to plants and animals (hazards) and the likelihood of the chemical substance causing damage by remaining in the environment (risk).87 The law stipulates regulatory classifications and the measures to be taken for each classification. The classifications include the following ...

In mainframes, the acquisition of IBM s Systems 360 and 370 technology was unplanned. In 1970, with the announcement of System 370, Japan s ministry of international trade and industry (MITI) inaugurated a New Series Project, a cooperative undertaking by the Japanese companies to produce a line of comparable computers. Fujitsu and Hitachi were assigned to concentrate on the high end of the IBM product line and NBC and Toshiba on the middle range. The other two, Mitsubishi Electric and Oki, played supporting roles. 

Since 1990, the government and the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) have tried to encourage the development of biodegradable plastics the Japanese industries have created a research group called Biodegradable Plastics Society to coordinate work on the development of biodegradable polymers... 

CAS Registry Numbers are also widely used as standard identifiers for chemical substances in many of the commercial chemical inventories of governmental regulatory agencies, such as the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Inventory in the United States, the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) Inventory in Japan, the European Inventory of Existing Commercial Chemical Substances (EINECS), and the Canadian Domestic and Non-Domestic Substances Lists (DSL/NDSL). 

In 1995, Japan s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), formerly Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI), launched a project to explore for marine gas hydrate accumulations around Japan. From late 1999 to early 2000, an exploratory hole MITI Nankai Trough was drilled on the landward side of the eastern Nankai Trough, offshore Japan (Fig. 1) by Japan National Oil Corporation (JNOC) along with Japan Petroleum Exploration Co., Ltd (JAPEX) as the well operator. The water depth at the drill site was 945 m and the sub-bottom depth of the hole was 2355 m. The seismic bottom simulating reflector (BSR) is present at around 295 mbsf. There were two exploration objectives one was a gas hydrate survey in shallow Quaternary sediments and the other was conventional oil and gas exploration in deeper Tertiary sediments. In addition to the main hole, seven short holes (two site survey, two pilot and three post-survey holes) were also drilled for the gas hydrate survey around the main hole. In this paper, we will clarify the origins of methane in gas hydrates found in the MITI Nankai Trough Well and discuss gas migration and hydrate formation in the sediments.

Several standard test protocols for measurement of polymer biodegradation are presently available. Organizations which have published such tests include the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) (Japan) [40] and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) [41]. They are, however, for the most part deficient to the extent that they have no control over the nature of microbial inoculum used, or the possible preadaptation of the mixed populations to specific substrates, and over the adequate control of particle size of the substrate. The relevance of these factors to laboratory assessment of the biodegradabUity of synthetic polymers has been recently discussed [1]. Most of these test methods have been derived from tests first used with detergents [42], and are not always well-suited for solid polymer substrates.
