Abstract: In simulating a behavior of a particle system including a plurality of particles disposed in an analysis region, by using a molecular dynamics method, centroid velocities of the particles present in a local region including a particle of interest are converted on the basis of the number of particles present in the local region for each of the particles, and thus a conversion value of a centroid velocity of the local region is calculated. Temperature control of maintaining the temperature of the particle system to be a target temperature is performed by using a difference between a velocity of the particle and the conversion value of the centroid velocity of the local region including the particle as a velocity of the particle which is a basis for calculating the temperature of the particle system.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a water demand optimization system includes a management terminal, a measuring apparatus, a demand information generating unit and a water-supply control apparatus. The management terminal drives customer equipment, which performs an operation using water, in a time zone in which a power unit rate is low. The measuring apparatus measures an amount of water used in a dwelling unit. The demand information generating unit generates water demand based on the amount of water. The water-supply control apparatus controls a pump in a manner to meet water demand and to minimize a treatment cost in a water purification plant and a cost for conveyance of clear water with reference to a variation in the power unit rate.

Abstract: The present invention provides a thin film forming method. The method includes the steps of: providing a first substrate, of which a surface is covered with a thin film; forming a plurality of openings through the thin film; forming a hollow portion between the first substrate and the thin film by etching the first substrate through the openings; bringing the thin film into contact with a second substrate with a liquid interposed between the thin film and the second substrate; and heating the first substrate and/or the second substrate. In the step of heating, the liquid interposed between the thin film and the second substrate evaporates off, which results in that the thin film is separated from the first substrate and transferred onto the second substrate.
