I'm now interested in the issues of red tape in scientific activities. I find these are relevant:

• Research performance and bureaucracy within public research labs

• Cutting Red Tape: National Strategies (PDF)

• The Standard Cost Model: A framework for defining and quantifying administrative burdens for businesses (PDF)

• Bureaucratic complexity and impacts of corruption in utilities

Although I don't know how valid they are, such analyses are needed for Japan's science policies, I think.

Since displaying maths in Markdown is a bit too hard, I rewrote the texts in reStructured text and processed them with Sphinx. I'm thinking of getting the documents to be published on readthedocs. G. Yamada explained how to do it in Software Design (Oct. 2015, in Japanese).

This is a test for math. Is this \(\sin x\) displayed correctly?
