Exploration and Collection of Tea (Camellia sinensis) on Goto Islands, Nagasaki Prefecture
No full textWe explored tea in one city and 11 towns on Goto Islands, in Nagasaki Prefecture from November 27 to December 1, 2001. We collected 126 tea seeds from 8 sites on the islands. Almost all Goto's tea populations planted around the farmer's house were introduced from Northern area of Kyushu island about 50 to 130 years ago. The morphological characteristics of Goto's populations were similar to those of Japanese mainland tea populations.departmental bulletin pape
Plasma irradiation experiment on the metal pebble flow in the TPDsheet-U
No full textA new divertor concept REVOLVER-D2 that uses metal pebbles as a divertor target has been proposed for the LHD-type helical fusion reactor FFHR-c1. Demonstration of sufficient plasma shielding rate is one of the important issues to show the feasibility of the REVOLVER-D2. For this purpose, an experiment on the plasma irradiation to the metal pebble flow has been conducted in the sheet plasma device TPDsheet-U in Tokai University. Reduction of the ion flux and electron density in the metal pebble flow was observed and it was confirmed that the metal pebble flow can play the role of the divertor target. The measured shielding rate is consistent with the prediction by the model based on the Lambert-Beer-Bouger’s law. Achievement of the shielding rate of > 72 % is expected in the FFHR-c1 using the nozzle with the size of > 310 mm × 310 mm and the pebble flow with the diameter of 5 mm.journal articl
Time sense: cultural difference and the creation, construction and reception of animated film
No full text© 2012 Dr. Takuya SuzukiThis dissertation explores cultural differences in animated film production, investigating the influence of the filmmaker and viewer in the creation, the construction and the sensibility of film. A notion of inter-subjective time is applied to the discussion of microscopic and macroscopic perception of animation movement via 20th century philosophers, such as Edmund Husserl (1859-1938), Henri Bergson (1859-1941), J.M.E. McTaggart (1866-1925), Martin Heidegger (1889-1976), Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1908-1961) and Gilles Deleuze (1925-1995). This is an exploration of scientific perspectives of time as well as an investigation of cultural differences in the intentionality and the direction of time to the discussion of international animation phenomena.
Understanding animation as an intersection of human perception, cultural and social movement, the author introduces his theoretical notion, time-sense, which is a combination of subjective and inter-subjective time, giving rise to archetype and our awareness of the quality of slowness and fastness of movement and its tracked shape, this dissertation reconsiders the influence of complex phenomenon of hybridized time-sense, and its close relationship to the microscopic movement of Japanese animation film.
Focusing on the temporal space or ma used in anime series Puella Magi Madoka Magica (2011), the animated film Spirited Away (2001) and The Sky Crawlers (2008) as well as the movement of Hatsune Miku and Japanese video sharing website Nico Nico Dôga, this thesis identifies a cross-cultural/ intercultural time theory in search of more specific understanding of differences and similarities between cultures particularly as it relates to animation
Investigating the Form-Meaning Mapping in the Acquisition of English and Japanese Measure Phrase Comparatives
No full textWe present a set of experiments investigating how English- and Japanese-speaking children interpret Measure Phrase comparatives (e.g., X is 10 meters taller than Y / X-wa Y-yori 10-meters takai). We show that despite overt cues to the comparative interpretation (i.e., the comparative -er morpheme in English, and explicit linguistic and visual reference to a contextual standard), children representing both languages diverge from their adult counterparts in that they access a non-adult-like ‘absolute measurement’ interpretation (i.e., X is 10 meters tall). We propose to account for their response pattern by appealing to proposals by Svenonius and Kennedy (2006) and Sawada and Grano (2011) that Meas in the head of the DegP, which houses the differential, selects for an absolute minimal value: zero. We argue that young children appeal to this absolute zero minimum in lieu of the correct derived standard, and must learn to override this value by appealing to the context to set the standard of comparison when interpretation requires them to do so.Peer reviewe
