Research on Causes of the Decline Phenomenon in the Shin-Sakae Shopping Street in Fukui City － Characteristics of the Shopping Street as seen from the Transition of Land Use －
No full textThis paper considers the transition and characteristics of land use of Shin-Sakae Shopping Street in Fukui City. As a method, we organized the land use situation of Shin-Sakae Shopping Street every five years and grasped the transition of each. What’s more, we compared and considered the transition in land use in the Shin-Sakae Shopping Street and the neighboring shopping streets. As a result, the number of business stores decreased and the number of vacant stores increased. Therefore, town development companies and citizen groups have implemented initiatives for revitalization. As a result, we are currently curbing the increase in vacant stores. In addition, Shin-Sakae Shopping Street has more stores than neighboring shopping streets, and although the proportion of vacant stores is very high, clothing-related stores are enriched and it became clear that office demand is increasing year by year.departmental bulletin pape
The Samurai Residences given to the former Matsuoka Clansman in Fukui Castle Town A Study on the Samurai's Premises in the Matsuoka Clansman, part 4
No full textThis paper considers the Samurai residences given to the former Matsuoka clansman in Fukui Castle Town. In upper Samurai's town of the near Fukui castle Honmaru, the high rank of the Bangai clansman person in the Matsuoka age was distributed. The Shin-yashiki 1Ku was populated with migrants from the center of Matsuoka castle town. The Samurai residences under Fukui castle town were narrower than the Matsuoka period. The Samurai residence given to the Bangai clansman person was based on the area of the upper Samurai of the Fukui clan. The Samurai residence given to the Bangumi clansman person was based on the area of the intermediate Samurai of the Fukui clan.departmental bulletin pape

Functional diversity of microbial decomposers facilitates plant coexistence in a plant–microbe–soil feedback model
No full text
Theory and empirical evidence suggest that plant–soil feedback (PSF) determines the structure of a plant community and nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. The plant community alters the nutrient pool size in soil by affecting litter decomposition processes, which in turn shapes the plant community, forming a PSF system. However, the role of microbial decomposers in PSF function is often overlooked, and it remains unclear whether decomposers reinforce or weaken litter-mediated plant control over nutrient cycling. Here, we present a theoretical model incorporating the functional diversity of both plants and microbial decomposers. Two fundamental microbial processes are included that control nutrient mineralization from plant litter: (
i
) assimilation of mineralized nutrient into the microbial biomass (microbial immobilization), and (
ii
) release of the microbial nutrients into the inorganic nutrient pool (net mineralization). With this model, we show that microbial diversity may act as a buffer that weakens plant control over the soil nutrient pool, reversing the sign of PSF from positive to negative and facilitating plant coexistence. This is explained by the decoupling of litter decomposability and nutrient pool size arising from a flexible change in the microbial community composition and decomposition processes in response to variations in plant litter decomposability. Our results suggest that the microbial community plays a central role in PSF function and the plant community structure. Furthermore, the results strongly imply that the plant-centered view of nutrient cycling should be changed to a plant–microbe–soil feedback system, by incorporating the community ecology of microbial decomposers and their functional diversity.

Living Shin
No full textIn this chapter, the author reflects on the ways that living Shin has enriched her work as a university professor, professional dancer, choreographer, and human being. She first talks about her history in somatic modalities of Ideokinesis, Laban, Keleman, and Hanna Somatics, along with their relation to Shin Somatics and how this work has benefited her professionally and personally. She then describes her applications of somatic knowledge to dance pedagogy, creating choreography, and the teaching and practice of yoga, healing, and wellness at Eastwest Somatics Institute. She also discusses her personal transformative somatic experiences and concludes by sharing key findings and insights that ground her in living Shin.</p

No full textSurvey on 3-D soil structure of Fukui Plain through microtremor H/V spectrum method
No full textThree-dimensional soil structure in Fukui Plain was estimated from microtremor observations at 1 km mesh points. Depth of alluvial, diluvial, tertiary layers and seismic bedrock were evaluated from the observed H/V spectrum ratios through the GA method. The main features on the seismic bedrock depth in the target area are as follows. There is a deep domain along the west edge of the plain. The depth becomes quickly shallower to westward and gently shallower to eastward. Another deep linear domain estimated along the east edge has possibility of corresponding to the 1948 Fukui Earthquake Fault. Moreover a steep change of bedrock depth is found at the northern side of Asuwayama Hill
