Clubiona bachmaensis Ono, 2009, sp. nov.
No full textClubiona bachmaensis sp. nov. (Figs. 1-5) Diagnosis. This new spider is very unique in having wide head, long opisthosoma and long legs without special hair tuft on tarsus of leg II, especially in the structure of male palpal organ. The tibia of male palp is long and simple with a retrolateral apophysis digitiform, the cymbium is relatively long and the tegulum is also long and simple with a short and spiniform embolus and membranous conductor. This structure closely allied to that in the species of the genus Pteroneta established by Deeleman-Reinhold (2001) on the basis of some species recorded from the Ryukyu Islands, Japan, Sulawesi and Lesser Sunda Islands, Indonesia, Borneo, Malaysia and Brunei, and Singapore. However, these Pteroneta species have somewhat small and short body, short legs, robust chelicerae with developed teeth, and special hair tuft on tarsus of leg II, all of which are different in the new spider. Therefore, the present author put it in the genus Clubiona in a wide sense. The general appearance of the new spider resembles species of Clubiona hystrix group defined by Deeleman-Reinhold (2001). Type specimen. Holotype: male from Bach Ma National Park, 1225 m in elevation, Thua Thien Hue Province, Central Vietnam, 7-VI- 2002, by sweeping method, H. Ono leg. (NSMT Ar 8352).

Prosoma (Fig. 1): Carapace longer than wide (length/width 1.49), head wide and three-fifth the width of carapace, median furrow long. Eyes: the anterior eye row slightly recurved and the posterior row straight in dorsal view, all eyes almost same in size, lateral eyes slightly larger than the median eyes, AME-AME=AME-ALE, PME PME>PME-PLE (2:1), clypeus narrow and same as the anterior width of median ocular area, median ocular area wider than long (length/width 0.64), wider behind than in front (anterior width/posterior width 0.30). Labium much longer than wide (length/width 1.50), sternum longer than wide (length/width 1.14). Chelicera furnished with one large and two smaller teeth on promargin of fang furrow, and three teeth on retromargin (Fig. 2). Legs: Spiniformation: Femora I-IV dorsally 0-1-1-1, prolaterally I-II 0-0-1-1, III-IV 0-0- 1; patellae I-IV dorsally 1-0-1 (apical), III-IV retrolaterally 1; tibiae I-II dorsally 1-0-0-0, ventrally 2-0-2, III-IV dorsally 1-0-1, prolaterally 1-1, retrolaterally 1-0-1, ventrally 1-0-1-0; metatarsi I-II none, III-IV prolaterally 1-1-1 or 1-1-1-1, retrolaterally 1-0-1 (apical) (III) or 1- 1-2 (apical) (IV), ventrally 2-0-1 (apical)(III) or 2-0-1-2 (apical)(IV).

Sinanapis thaleri Ono, 2009, sp. nov.
No full textSinanapis thaleri sp. nov. (Figs. 1 - 14) Diagnosis: This new species is first assumed as a member of the genus Textricella Hickman, 1945, mainly by the presence of a modified patella of the male palp, and resembles T. parva Hickman, 1945 from Tasmania and T. complexa Forster, 1959 from Australia. These species have a complicated structure of the male palpal patella with a grater-like apophysis with many minute teeth. However, this new species can be easily distinguished from these by the simple and filiform embolus (Figs. 10 - 11), the eye-arrangement (Fig. 1) and the shape of the chelicera (Figs. 3 - 5). The new species is more closely related to Sinanapis crassitarsus recently described by Wunderlich & Song (1995) from Southwest China, but differs from the latter in the details. Other than genital features, the new spider resembles the Chinese species by the arrangement of the eyes in three groups, the condition of the chelicera with large teeth and the presence of a distinct posterior plate of the opisthosoma. Type specimen: Holotype: male, from Mt. Lang Biang, 1900 m alt. near peak, Da Lat, Lam Dong Province, Vietnam, 2 - VI- 2002, S. Nomura leg. (NSMT-Ar 5960). Measurement: Body length 1.69 mm; prosoma length 0.79 mm, width 0.62 mm, height 0.71 mm; opisthosoma length 0.85 mm, width 0. 85 mm, height 0.96 mm; lengths of legs [total length (femur + patella + tibia + metatarsus + tarsus)]: I 2.71 mm (0.86 + 0.31 + 0.72 + 0. 28 + 0.54), II 2.13 mm (0.67 + 0.26 + 0.50 + 0. 25 + 0.45), III 1.50 mm (0.44 + 0.18 + 0.31 + 0.20 + 0.37), IV 1.86 mm (0.59 + 0.20 + 0.43 + 0.24 + 0.40). Prosoma (Figs. 1 - 6): Carapace longer than wide (length / width 1.27), very high (height / width 1.15), highest at the ocular area, without setae. Median furrow absent, surface of carapace strongly sclerotized with reticulation forming radial lines, six teeth, 1-1-2- 2 in order, present in the cephalic part behind the eyes, base of pedicel forming a collar. Eyes set in three groups (Fig. 1), six in number, AME lacking, the posterior eye-row re-curved in dorsal view. Both lateral eyes close to each other, all eyes similar in size, but ALE seems to be slightly larger than the others, ALE-ALE sub-equal to their diameter, longer than PME-PLE, clypeus wide (Figs. 2 - 3), much longer than ALE-ALE (15: 4). Chelicerae with three large teeth on the retro-margin of the fang furrow, the distal two teeth on a common protuberance (Figs. 4 - 5), labium fused with anterior margin of sternum, wider than long, maxillae distally wide and obtuse, sternum strongly sclerotized and grained, longer than wide (8: 6) (Fig. 6). Legs: patellae of legs III–IV with a long, apico-dorsal spine, respectively; tibiae III–IV dorsally with a long spine; metatarsus shorter than patella in legs I–II; metatarsus and tarsus of leg I with several ventral, conical spines (Fig. 7); tarsal claws of the legs without distinct teeth. Leg formula: I-II-IV-III. Male palp (Figs. 10 - 14): Femur simple with a few long hairs, without any apophysis, distal margin slightly sclerotized; patella extremely modified, with a large, dorsal apophysis and a complicated process (Fig. 13) and a grater-like apophysis with many teeth on dorsal surface (Fig. 14); tibia not clearly recognizable. Cymbium short and simple, palpal organ fitted in the cymbium, conductor absent, embolus distally filiform (Figs. 10 - 11). Opisthosoma (Figs. 1 - 2, 8 - 9): as long as wide, very high, with a firm collar, the posterior part covered by a large plate rounded and sclerotized (Fig. 8), the surface of the plate relatively smooth and transparent. Anterior spinnerets and posterior lateral spinnerets thick and conical, posterior median spinnerets small but visible, colulus present but indistinct (Fig. 9). Venter of opisthosoma very narrow, cover of booklung distinct, but booklung replaced by trachea and without lung slit, posterior trachea seems to be lacking. Coloration and markings (Figs. 1 - 2, 8): Carapace and chelicerae dark reddish brown, shiny, maxillae and labium reddish brown, sternum reddish brown with black reticulum, femur of palp yellow, palpal organ reddish brown, femora I and II reddish brown, other segments of legs yellowish brown. Opisthosoma dorsally reddish brown, its posterior plate amber with black marking (Fig. 8). Distribution: Vietnam (at present known only from the type locality). Etymology: The specific name is dedicated to the late Dr. Konrad Thaler in memory of his contribution to the study of various spiders mainly from the European Alps. Remarks: The position of the genus Textricella in the phylogeny of Araneoidea is not clear. Although Forster & Platnick (1981) at first used Textricellidae established by Hickman (1945) with Textricella as the type genus, they regarded the small family as a junior synonym of Micropholcommatidae Hickman, 1943, after a few years (Platnick & Forster 1986). The family Micropholcommatidae is characterized by the presence of a cheliceral gland mound and the condition of booklungs and tracheae, and the modified shape of the male palpal patellae. That included several genera known only from the Australian Region and South America, but spiders of the group should occur also in Asia as evidenced by the species of Sinanapis and Enielkenie acaroides Ono, 2006, recently recorded from Taiwan (Ono, Chang & Tso 2006). The present author, however, treats the family Anapidae Simon, 1895, in a broadest sense including micropholcommatids, following Schütt (2003) and Wunderlich (2004), until more information about these spiders, especially those from Asia, will emerge.Published as part of Ono, H., 2009, A new species of the genus Sinanapis (Araneae: Anapidae) from Lam Dong province, southern Vietnam., pp. 1201-1208 in Contrib. nat.

Sharp ill-posedness result for the periodic Benjamin-Ono equation (ERRATUM : PAPER WITHDRAWN)
No full textERRATUM : This paper has been withdrawn by the author since there were errors in the calculus of the defect coefficient in Page 11.

The corrected calculus gives actually zero which do not lead to a contradiction on the continuity of the flow-map of the Benjamin-Ono equation. The author warmly thank Professor Patrick Gérard for having pointing out this error to him. (We prove the discontinuity for the weak L^2(\T) -topology of the flow-map associated with the periodic Benjamin-Ono equation. This ensures that this equation is ill-posed in H^s(\T) as soon as and thus completes exactly the well-posedness result obtained by the author.

New Analytical Solutions for Time Fractional Benjamin-Ono Equation Arising Internal Waves in Deep Water
No full textIn this article, the author sets up the abundant traveling wave solutions for time fractional Benjamin-Ono equation which was introduced to describe internal waves in stratified fluids by using Jacobi elliptic function expansion method. The traveling wave solutions are expressed in terms of the hyperbolic functions, the trigonometric functions and the rational functions. It can be seen that the obtained results are found to be important for the statement of some physical demonstrations of problems in mathematical physics and ocean engineering. In ocean engineering Benjamin-Ono equations are generally used in computer simulation for the water waves in deep water and open seas
Observations on “Northeastern” Hokkaido Ainu dialects : a statistical perspective
No full textA previous paper (Ono 2019, to appear) demonstrated that the assumption of an ordinal scale revealed relationships among 19 Ainu dialects in Hattori and Chiri's (1960) lexicostatistical data that were indicated philologically numerous times but without sufficient statistical clarity. This paper focuses on northeastern Hokkaido Ainu dialects that have not been as adequately researched as southwestern Hokkaido Ainu dialects (Bugaeva 2012). The author applies a statistical analysis based on an ordinal scale to five northeastern Hokkaido Ainu dialects (i.e., Asahikawa, Nayoro, Obihiro, Bihoro, and Kushiro dialects), comparing the results to those obtained employing a nominal scale. This paper’s primary results may be summarized in four points. First, previous statistical analyses (Asai 1974 ; Lee and Hasegawa 2013 ; Ono 2015) classified the Asahikawa and Nayoro dialects as northeastern Hokkaido Ainu dialects. However, the statistical analysis in this paper positions both dialects as intermediate dialects between these two groups, rather than as northeastern Hokkaido Ainu or southwestern Hokkaido Ainu. Furthermore, the author observed that both these dialects are interlinked with Sakhalin dialects. Second, the component corresponding to the distinction between the northern and southern parts of Hokkaido is first illustrated statistically. Third, the author observed a homogeneous structure among Obihiro, Bihoro, and Kushiro dialects from the statistical analysis of four northeastern Hokkaido Ainu dialects. However, the analysis of the Kushiro dialect demonstrated a heterogeneous structure among these three dialects, identifying some similarity with the Soya and Sakhalin dialects. Fourth, these results statistically suggest that Ainu dialects located to the east of Kushiro in Hokkaido present a previously unknown problem. This paper’s suggestion coincides with the geolinguistic and philological research on the Kagake Monjo (Fukazawa 2017) concerning Nemuro dialect, an Ainu dialect located to the east of Kushiro
Torque curve measurements in HCP Co in very low fields
No full textMagnetic torque measurements have been made for a single crystal of Co of hcp structure in a very low field region where the torque intensity was not saturated. In this region it had been considered to be impossible to determine the magnetocrystalline anisotropy constants from observed torque curves. Recently, a new method of analyzing the torque curves was proposed by the present author with the help of a least mean square routine instead of the usual Fourier analysis. By using this method the first magnetocrystalline anisotropy constant Kulwas, for the first time, determined at 77 K. It was found that the Kuldetermined in the low field range between 0.3 and 0.5 T coincides with the value determined at a high field region where the torque curve was saturated enough. Below 0.2 T the value of Kuldecreased with decreasing the field. This region was found to correspond to the domain wall formation. </p

Dari masalah utama tersebut kemudian dibagi menjadi beberapa pertanyaan penelitian yaitu: (1) Bagaimana latar belakang pendidikan Raden Ono Lesmana Kartadikusumah yang berkontribusi terhadap seni tari? (2) Bagaimana upaya Raden Ono Lesmana Kartadikusumah dalam mengembangkan tari wayang di Kabupaten Sumedang? (3) Bagaimana upaya pemerintah serta seniman dalam mengembangkan tari wayang di Kabupaten Sumedang?. Metode yang digunakan ialah metode historis dengan melakukan tiga langkah penelitian yaitu heuristik, kritik dan historiografi. Sedangkan untuk pengumpulan data penulis melakukan teknik studi literatur yaitu mengkaji sumber-sumber yang relevan dengan kajian penulis serta wawancara. Sebagai seorang ménak, merupakan suatu keharusan untuk dapat terampil menari. Mau tidak mau Rd. Ono sebagai seorang ménak harus mempelajarinya. Lewat belajar dengan berbagai guru, ia menjadi penari yang terampil dan berprestasi. Hal tersebut yang kemudian memotivasinya untuk menciptakan tari termasuk tari wayang. Melalui Sanggar Sekar Pusaka, ia mengembangkan tari wayang kepada masyarakat Sumedang. Pekerjaannya sebagai seorang camat yang menuntutnya untuk berpindah-pindah tempat memudahkan Rd. Ono dalam mengembangkan tari wayang di mana pun ia berada. Keberhasilannya dalam mengembangkan tari terlihat dari banyaknya antusiasme masyarakat untuk mempelajari tari wayang. Ketekunannya dalam mencipta, menari dan mengembangkan tari wayang menjadikan Rd. Ono dikenal sebagai Maestro Tari Wayang. ---------- This thesis is titled “The Role of Raden Ono Lesmana on the Spread of Wayang Dance in Sumedang regency (1926-1987)”, which tells role of one of dance art figures who strived to spread wayang dance of Sumedang, so that the main issue that discussed in this thesis is “What is role of Raden Ono Lesmana on the spread of wayang dance in Sumedang regency (1926-1987)?”. There are a few research questions that arise from that main issue, as follows: (1) What was educational background of Raden Ono Lesmana Kartadikusumah that contributed towards art of dance? (2) What did Raden Ono Lesmana Kartadikusumah do on spreading wayang dance in Sumedang regency? (3) What did the government with artist do on spreading wayang dance in Sumedang regency? Method used in this research was historical method by performing three research steps: heuristics, criticism and historiography. As for the data collection, author did literature study techniques that examine many sources relevant to author’s study, and also interview. As a ménak (noble), it was a must for him to be able to skillfully dance. Like it or not Rd. Ono as a ménak must learn about it. Through learning from various teachers, later he became a skilled and oustanding dancer. Those things motivated him to create dances including wayang dance. Through Sanggar Sekar Pusaka, he spread wayang dance to people of Sumedang. His profession as a camat (head of sub-district) that led him to move around made Rd. Ono easier to spread wayang dance wherever he was. His success on spreading the dance can be seen from the enthusiasm of the community to learn wayang dance. His persistence to create, dance and spread wayang dance made Rd. Ono is known as the Maestro of Wayang Dance
