Contributions of biogenic volatile organic compounds to the formation of secondary organic aerosols over Mt. Tai, Central East China
To better understand the contribution of biogenic volatile organic compounds to the formation of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) in high mountain regions, ambient aerosols were collected at the summit of Mt. Tai (1534 m, a.s.l.), Central East China (CEC) during the Mount Tai Experiment 2006 campaign (MTX2006) in early summer. Biogenic SOA tracers for the oxidation of isoprene, α/β-pinene, and β-caryophyllene were measured using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Most of the biogenic SOA tracers did not show clear diurnal variations, suggesting that they are formed during long-range atmospheric transport or over relatively long time scales. Although isoprene- and α/β-pinene-derived SOA tracers did not correlate with levoglucosan (a biomass burning tracer) β-caryophyllinic acid showed a good correlation with levoglucosan, indicating that crop residue burning may be a source for this acid. Total concentrations of isoprene oxidation products are much higher than those of α/β-pinene and β-caryophyllene oxidation products. The averaged ratio of isoprene to α/β-pinene oxidation products (R_[iso/pine]) was 4.9 and 6.7 for the daytime and nighttime samples, respectively. These values are among the highest in the aerosols reported in different geographical regions, which may be due to the large isoprene fluxes and relatively high levels of oxidants such as OH in CEC. Using a tracer-based method, we estimated the concentrations of secondary organic carbon (SOC) derived from isoprene, α/β-pinene and β-caryophyllene to be 0.4-3.1 μgC m^[-3] (average 1.6 μgC m^[-3]) during the daytime and 0.1-4.2 μgC m^[-3] (1.7 μgC m^[-3]) during the nighttime. These values correspond to 2.9-23%(10%) and 3.2-28% (9.8%) of the total OC concentrations, in which isoprene-derived SOC accounts for 58% and 63% of total SOC during the daytime and nighttime, respectively. This study suggests that isoprene is a more significant precursor for biogenic SOA than α/β-pinene and β-caryophyllene at high altitudes in CEC
Thermal regime of sporadic permafrost in a block slope on Mt. Nishi-Nupukaushinupuri, Hokkaido Island, Northern Japan
In this study, we discuss the predominant factors that determine the ground temperature regime of an active layer in a block slope. The distribution of the bottom temperature of snow cover (BTS) measurements, warm funnels at the top of the slope, and ground temperature changes on the block slope indicate continuous air circulation during the winter. In the spring, snowmelt water flows to the valley bottom and refreezes, adding superimposed ice onto the perennial ice that fills the voids between coarse blocks. At the study site, the ground temperatures showed a simultaneous, abrupt increase at all depths in the active layer. These results strongly suggest that air circulation in winter, as well as the ice formation processes in the spring, control the thermal regime of the active layer of the block slope with mean annual air temperature (MAAT) above 0℃
La sovietización cubana y la inconsecuente lógica castrista
Cuba\u27s alignment with socialist ideas kept the island under the yoke of the former Soviet Union. In this regard, the author discusses how a whole process of Sovietization in all spheres of Cuban life began to take shape after the Cold War.La alineación de Cuba con ideas de corte socialista mantuvo a la isla bajo el yugo de la antigua Unión Soviética. Respecto a ello, la autora aborda la forma en que a partir de la Guerra Fría se fue gestando todo un proceso de sovietización en todos ámbitos de la vida cubana
Corporate Mergers and Acquisitions from the Perspective of Competition Law (A Comparative Study Between Indonesia and Japan)
This research focuses on analyzing the implementation of mergers and acquisitions from the perspective of competition law through a comparison between Indonesian and Japanese laws. By conducting legal comparisons, it is hoped that points of improvement can be obtained for competition law in Indonesia in supervising the implementation of mergers and acquisitions. The research method used is doctrinal legal research (dogmatic legal research), with a legis-positivist approach that places the law synonymous with written rules compiled and promulgated by the authorities and sees the law as a normative system that stands alone, closed, and detached from society. Through this research, the author finds that the regulation of mergers and acquisitions in Indonesia from the perspective of competition law, when compared to Japan, is much slower in development. While countries like Japan have long embraced the pre-merger notification regime, Indonesia only adopted it in 2009, and it is regulated through the KPPU Regulation on Pre-Notification of Mergers, Consolidations, and Acquisitions (2009). This certainly creates a misalignment between the Unfair Competition Prohibition Law (1999), which adopts the post-merger notification regime, and the KPPU Regulation on Pre-Notification of Mergers, Consolidations, and Acquisitions (2009). Through this research, the author suggests that harmonization and synchronization between the post-merger notification approach adopted by the Unfair Competition Prohibition Law (1999) and the pre-merger notification approach adopted by the KPPU Regulation on Pre-Notification of Mergers, Consolidations, and Acquisitions (2009) are necessary. This is to avoid confusion among business actors and legal uncertainty that may distort the market.</p
Local variation of inundation, sedimentary characteristics, and mineral assemblages of the 2011 Tohoku-oki tsunami on the Misawa coast, Aomori, Japan
The 2011 Tohoku-oki tsunami caused severe damage to the coastal regions of eastern Japan and left a sediment veneer over affected areas. We discuss differences in depositional characteristics of the 2011 Tohoku-oki tsunami from the viewpoint of the sediment source, coastal topography and flow height. The study area on the Misawa coast, northern Tohoku, includes a 20 km long coastline with sandy beaches, coastal dunes and a gently sloping lowland. This landscape assemblage provides an opportunity to examine the effects of topography on the characteristics of the tsunami deposit. During field surveys conducted from April 10 to May 2, 2011, we described the thickness, facies, and structure of the tsunami deposit. We also collected sand samples at approximately 20 m intervals along 13 shore-perpendicular transects extending up to 550 m inland, for grain size and mineral assemblage analysis. The tsunami flow height was estimated by measuring the elevation of debris found in trees, broken tree limbs, or water marks on buildings. The nature of the coastal lowland affected the flow height and inundation distance. In the southern part of the study area, where there is a narrow, 100 m wide low-lying coastal strip, the run-up height reached 10 m on the landward terrace slopes. To the north, the maximum inundation reached 550 m with a run-up height of 32 m on the wider, low-lying coastal topography. The average flow height was 4-5 m. The tsunami eroded coastal dunes and formed small scarps along the coast. Immediately landward of the coastal dunes the tsunami deposit was more than 20 cm thick, but thinned markedly inland from this point. Close to the dunes the deposit was composed largely of medium sand (1-2 Φ) with planar and parallel bedding, but with no apparent upward fining or coarsening. The particle size was similar to that of the coastal dune and we infer that the dunes were the local source material for the tsunami deposit at this point. The mineral assemblage of the tsunami deposit was dominated by orthopyroxene and clinopyroxene and was also similar to the dune and beach sand. At sites more than half the inundation distance inland, the thinner tsunami deposit consisted mainly of fine sand (2.375 Φ) with some upward fining. The difference in particle size and sedimentary characteristics was probably caused by differences in sediment transportation and depositional processes. We infer that the well-sorted, finer sediments were deposited out of suspension, whereas the relatively coarse sands were laid down from traction flows. The depositional characteristics of the 2011 Tohoku-oki tsunami deposit appeared to have been affected mainly by the coastal topography and the extent of erosion at any one point, as opposed to flow height

Este trabalho visa aprofundar a carga reflexiva acerca do solfejo na composição, vendo-o como um elo entre os níveis da imaginação, da percepção e da notação. Partindo da investigação histórica e conceitual do termo \"solfejo\", são esmiuçadas suas aplicações na composição, tangendo diversas formas de percepção e ação. Somando-se a isto, estudaremos também a temática da notação enquanto representação de solfejos. Após a construção de uma compreensão aprofundada sobre o tema, veremos suas aplicações práticas na ação criativa, através das análises, pelo viés dos solfejos, de três obras do repertório contemporâneo brasileiro: Quando se muda a paisagem (2008, orquestra de câmara) de Rodrigo Lima, Ijareheni (2009, orquestra de câmara com violino e viola solistas) de Tatiana Catanzaro e Angola (2015, flauta, clarinete em Bb, saxofone soprano e fagote) de Paulo Rios Filho. Os três compositores e pesquisadores, além da contribuição composicional, permeiam este texto através de suas pesquisas acadêmicas e artísticas e transcrições textuais de conversas realizadas com o autor especialmente para a presente pesquisa. Por último, serão relatados dois processos composicionais feitos pelo autor durante este período, onde as bagagens teórica e artística adquiridas são empregadas empiricamente.This research aims to deepen reflexive considerations about the solfège in composition, understanding it as a link between imaginative, perceptive and notational levels. Starting from the conceptual and historical investigation about the term \"solfège\", we will study its applications in composition, touching diverse forms of perception and action. Furthermore, we will also study the thematic of notation as a representation of a solfège. After the construction of this deep comprehension about this thematic, we will see its practical applications in creative action, with the analysis, by the point of view of the solfège, of three works from the brazilian contemporary repertoire: Quando se muda a paisagem (2008, chamber orchestra) by Rodrigo Lima, Ijareheni (2009, chamber orchestra with violin and viola soloists) by Tatiana Catanzaro and Angola (2015, flute, Bb clarinet, soprano saxophone and bassoon) by Paulo Rios Filho. The three composers and researchers, in addition to the compositional contribution, are present in the text through their academic and artistic researches e the textual transcriptions of conversations they had with the author specially for the present research. Lastly, two compositional processes made by the author over this period will be reported, in such a way that the theoretical and artistic knowledges are empirically present
『외암유고』의 편찬 과정과 판본의 특징
This article surveys the various published versions and the development of Oeam yugo (巍巖遺稿), written by Yi Gan (李柬:巍巖, 1677~1727) who belonged to a Yulgok School"s Kwon Sangha (權尙夏) branch. Yi Gan was a colleague of Han Wonjin (韓元震) and Choi Jinghu (崔徵厚), discussing important concepts of Confucianism such as bonyeon-gijil (本然ㆍ氣質), mibalsimchae (未發心體), heoryeongjigak (虛靈知覺), and myeongdeok (明德) with them, thus having major repercussion in the contemporary Chosun academia. He stuck to his opinion which differed from Han Wonjin as well as his mentor Kwon Sangha, and gained supports from scholars in Seoul - represented by Kim Changhyup (金昌協) and his disciples. Combined with those supports, the debate can be estimated as a nodal point of the divergence between Hohak School (湖學派) and Rakhak School (洛學派).
The above situations gave difficulties to the editing and publishing of Yi Gan"s posthumous work, Oeam Yugo. Being edited by his son Yi Yibyeong(李頤炳), the work had to face opposition from Yi Gan"s colleague Yun Bonggu (尹鳳九) at the time of its original publication. Yun"s claim was that the work was insulting his mentor K won Sangha which should be revised, and his claim created a stir in Kown Sangha branch. Yi Yibyeong, however, not only adopted the oppositional claims of Yun Bonggu but also strengthened the parts in question. This incident was a reflection of conflicts within Hohak School brought about by Kwon Sangha"s intervention in the debate between Yi Gan and Han Wonjin.
Passing through such conflicts, original version and revised version of Oeam Yugo were published, being respectively consisted of eight volumes with sixteen chapters; of which, the revised version being currently in circulation. Differences between the original and the revised version are not so conspicuous, the latter adding four pages respectively in two places. In the process of writing this article, the author found that another hitherto unknown version exists and that it contains much more contents the two versions in different structure from the two. Further study is called for the newly found version of Oeam Yugo
Enhanced levels of atmospheric low-molecular weight monocarboxylic acids in gas and particulates over Mt. Tai, North China, during field burning of agricultural wastes
To understand the source and atmospheric behaviour of low molecular weight monocarboxylic acids (mono acids), gaseous (G) and particulate (P) organic acids were collected at the summit of Mt. Tai in the North China Plain (NCP) during field burning of agricultural waste (wheat straw). Particulate organic acids were collected with neutral quartz filter whereas gaseous organic acids were collected with KOH-impregnated quartz filter. Normal (C-1-C-10, branched (iC(4)-iC(6)), hydroxy (lactic and glycolic), and aromatic (benzoic) monoacids were determined with a capillary gas chromatography employing p-bromophenacyl esters. We found acetic acid as the most abundant gas-phase species whereas formic acid is the dominant particle-phase species. Concentrations of formic (G/P 1 570/1 410 ng m(-3)) and acetic (3 960/1 120 ng m(-3)) acids significantly increased during the enhanced field burning of agricultural wastes. Concentrations of formic and acetic acids in daytime were found to increase in both G and P phases with those of K+, a field-burning tracer (r = 0.32-0.64). Primary emission and secondary formation of acetic acid is linked with field burning of agricultural wastes. In addition, we found that particle-phase fractions (Fp = P/(G + P)) of formic (0.50) and acetic (0.31) acids are significantly high, indicating that semi-volatile organic acids largely exist as particles. Field burning of agricultural wastes may play an important role in the formation of particulate monoacids in the NCP. High levels (917 ng m(-3)) of particle phase lactic acid, which is characteristic of microorganisms, suggest that microbial activity associated with terrestrial ecosystem significantly contributes to the formation of organic aerosols
