    P(論文)Hexacorals (Scleractinia), collected by the Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition in the sea off Prince Harald Coast near the Syowa Station during the 1957-1958 cruises, were studied and the following 9 species were identified by the author. Bathyactis symmetrica (POURTALES) Caryophyllia antarctica VON MARENZELLER Caryophyllia sp. Ceratotrochus? sp. Desmophyllum pseudoseptata EGUCHI, n. sp. Desmophyllum? sp. Flabellum distinctum M. EDW. et H. Fl. transversale conicum YABE et EGUCHI Fl. ongulense EGUCHI, n. sp. All the above genera are known as cosmopolitan and deep-sea corals. Three of them, Caryophyllia sp., Ceratotrochus? sp., and Desmophyllum? sp., are rather worn and even their generic identification is doubtful. Other two, D. pseudoseptata n. sp. and Fl. ongulense n. sp., are new to science. Cosmopolitan species are Bathyactis symmetrica and Flabellum distinctum; Fl. transversale conicum is common in the Japanese waters. Caryophyllia antarctica is an antarctic species known in other parts of the Antarctic Sea.departmental bulletin pape

    A new construction of compact G2-manifolds by gluing families of Eguchi-Hanson spaces

    No full text
    We give a new construction of compact Riemannian 7-manifolds with holonomy G2G_2. Let MM be a torsion-free G2G_2-manifold (which can have holonomy a proper subgroup of G2G_2) such that MM admits an involution ι\iota preserving the G2G_2-structure. Then M/ιM/{\langle \iota \rangle} is a G2G_2-orbifold, with singular set LL an associative submanifold of MM, where the singularities are locally of the form R3×(R4/{±1})\mathbb R^3 \times (\mathbb R^4 / \{\pm 1\}). We resolve this orbifold by gluing in a family of Eguchi-Hanson spaces, parametrized by a nonvanishing closed and coclosed 11-form λ\lambda on LL. Much of the analytic difficulty lies in constructing appropriate closed G2G_2-structures with sufficiently small torsion to be able to apply the general existence theorem of the first author. In particular, the construction involves solving a family of elliptic equations on the noncompact Eguchi-Hanson space, parametrized by the singular set LL. We also present two generalizations of the main theorem, and we discuss several methods of producing examples from this construction

    We give a new construction of compact Riemannian 7-manifolds with holonomy G2. Let M be a torsion-free G2-manifold (which can have holonomy a proper subgroup of G2) such that M admits an involution ι preserving the G2-structure. Then M/⟨ι⟩ is a G2- orbifold, with singular set L an associative submanifold of M, where the singularities are locally of the form R3×(R4/{±1}). We resolve this orbifold by gluing in a family of Eguchi–Hanson spaces, parametrized by a nonvanishing closed and coclosed 1-form λ on L.

    Corrigendum: Three new species of the genus Biasticus Stål, 1867 (Insecta, Heteroptera, Reduviidae, Harpactorinae) from Central Highlands, Vietnam. ZooKeys 1118: 133–180. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.1118.83156

    We recently published the description of three new species of the genus Biasticus Stål, 1867 (Insecta, Heteroptera, Reduviidae, Harpactorinae) from Central Highlands, Vietnam (Ha NL, Truong XL, Ishikawa T, Jaitrong W, Lee CF, Chouangthavy B, Eguchi K 2022). However, the first author made mistakes when indicating the deposition of the holotype and paratype of the three new species regardless of some regulations and agreements about those specimens. In this corrigendum, we made a revision of the status of the holotype and paratype deposition

    Acquisition of absolute pitch: The question of critical periods

    No full text
    Describes an adaptation of the first stages of Y. Oura and K. Eguchi's (1981) technique for training absolute pitch in preschoolers to 8 North American Ss (aged 2 yrs 10 mo to 4 yrs 11 mo) and 4 adults (aged 22-27 yrs). Most children and all adults mastered a transposed chord discrimination task but were less successful in chord identification. In contrast, Oura and Eguchi reported that Japanese children performed well on the latter task. The superior performance of the Japanese children may be attributable in part to a simpler chord training procedure
