KamLAND-Zen
No full textKamLAND-Zen searches for neutrinoless double beta (0nbb) decay with Xe-136 loaded liquid scintillator. Results from "KamLAND-Zen 400" are based upon data collected from 2011 to 2015 and we obtained the most stringent lower limit for 0nbb decay half-life of 136Xe, 1.07*10^26 yrs at 90% C.L. Next phase, "KamLAND-Zen800" is in preparation and will start data taking in this year. We will report the current status. Future prospects of the experiment, "KamLAND2-Zen" is also presented

Early oneness pentacostalism, Garfield Thomas Haywood, and the inter racial pentecostal assemblies of the world (1906-1931)
Get PDFThis thesis examines Oneness Pentecostalism from 1914 to 1931 via its initial interracial vision, the ministry of Garfield Thomas Haywood, and the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World. It attempts to rectify a one dimensional historical perspective which has ignored the significance of race in the restorative framework of the early movement, tracing its interracial fervor to the Azusa revival and its resistance to the Parham influenced U.S.south. Fresh historical detail informs assessment of the 1906 Azusa mission founding of the interracial PAW and Oneness Pentecostalism’s most obscure, yet vital early leaders, J. J. Frazee and E. W. Doak. All key leaders are studied from the perspective of the movement’s major centers, especially the centrality and history of Haywood and Indianapolis as its foremost epicenter. Its interracial authenticity is examined in relationship to its pre-Oneness PAW context, the battle for the Assemblies of God, and the transition of the PAW from Trinitarian to Oneness Pentecostalism. Investigation of the 1924 PAW racial schism, impact, and withdrawing White segment reveals diffusion and the proliferation of separatism and independency. The final analysis summarizes the movement’s region by region development and global spread by 1930 and examines the successes of early Oneness Pentecostal missionaries

Nonvicarious Art: The Psychological Techniques and Phenomena Employed in James Turrell's Experiential Perceptual Cells and Ganzfeld Works
No full textThis paper presents a comprehensive collection and explanation of the many psychological techniques and phenomena that are integrated into the works within James Turrell’s Perceptual Cells and Ganzfeld series. It will provide an experiential analysis of Light Reignfall (2011) from the former, and Breathing Light (2013) from the latter, as examples for why the author argues that these works demand a redefinition of the art object and the term “viewer”. The author also presents evidence of several of the interdisciplinary connections and benefits of the works to those outside of the field of art

Functionally Hierarchical Road Classification Considering the Area Characteristics for the Performance-oriented Road Planning
No full textAbstractFunctional hierarchy of road network classifies individual roads into several levels by taking account of the priority for mobility, access or residential functions, in order to manage traffic efficiently by segregating through traffic from accessing, parking and non-motorized traffics. This concept has been widely recognized and applied to road planning, design and operation in several countries such as Germany, the US and Australia. Their guidelines state the target performances (i.e., LOS or travel speed in general) of each hierarchical levels being used for the performance evaluation. However in Japan, target performances of roads are not shown in the current guideline, since a concept of the performance-oriented planning and design is still uncommon in practice. As a result, the operational performances are still not satisfactory enough especially on highways. In such a situation, this study attempts to find out the hierarchical road classification applicable to Japan, considering the distribution of region/district centers as well as the impact of terrain. The main questions are how many hierarchical levels need to be defined and how much travel speed and road spacing (or access distance) should be set as the targets for each level, so that the network performance, namely travel time between region/district centers, can achieve the given target values. The basic idea comes from the German guideline RIN, which states the target travel times by region/district center (central place), classifies roads and define their target travel speeds based on their connecting centers. However, it does not clearly mention how the difference in distribution of region/district centers and the impact of terrain can be reflected to set the efficient hierarchical classification. For example, the characteristic of metropolitan areas is quite different from that of mountainous areas in terms of trip lengths between region/district centers of which travel times are to be evaluated as network performance. In addition, because of the impact of terrain, construction cost per unit is generally quite higher in mountainous areas than in flat areas, whereas travel demand is usually lower in mountainous areas. This study incorporates these issues into road classification and demonstrates its impact for more efficient network system planning. The methodology consists of four steps: (1) defining the region/district centers to be connected and setting their target travel time, (2) developing alternative road classification scenarios, (3) mathematically formulating origin-destination travel time in a grid road network under the certain classification and (4) evaluating the classification scenarios considering the difference of average trip lengths of each combination of centers as well as the difference of system cost due to the impact of terrain and travel demand. Although the original intention of this study is to apply the result to Japan, the methodology itself is generally applicable to any region. At the end, case studies are conducted for several simplified areas for reflecting their typical characteristics of region/district centers distribution and terrain in Japan. Through them, the hierarchical road classifications by area type are suggested as a conclusion
