“…It was verified that it is due to LiC 18 compound. 30 This large difference in chemical shift between LiC 12 and LiC 18 is probably caused by the difference in electronic interaction between graphite and Li. Chemical shifts of both 41 and 44 ppm are interpreted as Knight shifts caused by conduction electron bands.…”

Lithium intercalation of natural graphite and well‐graphitized vapor‐grown carbon fibers has been investigated by solid‐state 7normalLi‐NMR and by cyclic voltammetry. Chemical shift of 7normalLi in Li‐graphite intercalation compounds (Li‐GICs) of natural graphite occurs in two regions, >40 and <10 ppm. The former shifts were assigned to GICs with the in‐plane density of LiC6 and the latter shifts were assigned to those with the in‐plane density of LiC9 . Phase diagram of Li‐GICs during electrochemical intercalation is discussed. In comparison to natural graphite, 7normalLi in the vapor‐grown carbon fibers showed higher chemical shifts. The passivating film was also examined by 7normalLi‐NMR and structural change of the film during the first charge‐discharge cycle is indicated. Scanning electron microscopy imaging of the passivation film supports the 7normalLi NMR data during charge‐discharge. The swelling and shrinking of passivation is evident by scanning elecron microscope image and nuclear magnetic resonance data. The thickness of the solid electrolyte interface layer depends on the nature of salt, solvent, carbon origin, and current density. © 1999 The Electrochemical Society. All rights reserved.

“…Rinne [27] conducted a thorough study on the working style, living status and teacher-student relationships of the craftsmen in Japan and provided a list of typical skills of Japanese bamboo basketry. Coffland [28] conducted an analysis of the development path of Japanese bamboo basketry, from early Chinese-inspired craft to the eventual development of modern Japanese woven sculpture. It is believed that the disillusion of China's cultural idol status in Japan about 1000 years ago indirectly led to the separation of Japanese bamboo art styles from Chinese practice.…”

The sustainability problem of many intangible cultural heritage (ICH) products stems from the shrinking of the core practitioner group, which is also the case for bamboo basketry craft. We believe that the problem in bamboo basketry originated in the lack of labor division between design and manufacturing, which prevents professional designers from entering this industry and results in the absence of several key stakeholders related to innovation and R&D. The lack of labor division is due to the technical difficulties associated with expressing the design concepts. The complexity of basket weaving structures makes it difficult to communicate between designer and manufacturer without precise expression tools, thus binding design and manufacturing into an integrated role. Guided by the user innovation theory, our team studied the design technology of bamboo basketry and developed a series of aiding tools, including the modeling of basic over–under structures and free weaving structures, automatic mapping techniques from 2D to 3D and several frequently used weaving skills, such as connecting, wrapping, plaiting and knotting. This technology enables designers to quickly design and express weaving structures with full details in digital models rather than to make samples. The application of the software shows that the technology considerably improved the designer interest and confidence. This technical solution makes designers, rather than programmers, able to do the development work, which also helps to create a sustainable ecological environment of technological research, also avoiding the difficulties associated with attracting business investment for such niche demands in the starting stage. Our practice shows that the sustainability of ICH products and the sustainability of the industry are closely related and that solving the latter supports the former.

“…30 Their relevance to state parks has been less analyzed but nevertheless noted for specific state systems. 31 Conceivably, state and national parks could face different challenges if they differed systematically in terms of geographic distribution. However, they are quite comparable on this dimension.…”

The Impact of Reinventing Government on State and Federal Parks

Over the last dozen years of the twentieth century, one major change affecting many American public policies consists of increased demands for efficiency. As a result, the demands on bureaucratic agencies responsible for delivery of public goods and services are daunting. Political authorities prescribe economic goals of efficiency and selfsufficiency for agencies while not reducing demands for attainment of political goals like efficacy and equity. Public officials have used techniques encouraging efficient behavior such as downsizing and evaluation through performance-based standards to make government more streamlined while still being effective. Have these changes occurred in different ways at different levels of the federal system? How can we explain those differences? Does the impact on the delivered goods and services vary significantly by level of government?In this article, I use a functional theory of federalism to address those questions. This theory suggests that different types of policies are most effectively implemented at different levels of government. 1 In short, governments work best when developmental policies (the provision and maintenance of services) are delegated to state governments and redistributive policies (the reallocation of resources) are left at the federal level. Empirical analyses suggest that even when considering the same policy area, agencies operating at different levels of the federal system will pursue their own tendencies that are consistent with the functional theory. Thus, implementation of the same policy at different levels will produce an emphasis on developmental potential at the state level and redistributive priorities at the national level. 2 I use this theoretical framework to consider the impact of recent demands for greater economic efficiency on the management of parks at both state and federal levels of government. I argue that, consistent with theoretical predictions, managers of state and na-
