    A comparison of Landau-Ginzburg models for odd-dimensional Quadrics

    No full text
    In [Rie08], the second author defined a Landau-Ginzburg model for homogeneous spaces G/P, as a regular function on an affine subvariety of the Langlands dual group. In this paper, we reformulate this LG model (X^, W_t) in the case of the odd-dimensional quadric, as a rational function on a Langlands dual projective space, in the spirit of work by R. Marsh and the second author for type A Grassmannians and by both authors for Lagrangian Grassmannians. We also compare this LG model with the one obtained independently by Gorbounov and Smirnov, and we use this comparison to deduce part of a conjecture of the second author for odd-dimensional quadrics

    Kentaro Sasaki, the author of "Taiiku-no-ko" had made many famous P.E.practices as a teacher of junior high school and high school at Kinan district since the end of the World War2.The features of his practices are ; 1) using compositions as educational method, 2) combining with educational guidance, 3) starting from reality of children's bodies and minds, and so on. This study attempts to clarify the process of his joining in Kinan-Sakkyou and the way to use compositions to practices anal- yzing his articles and "Kinan Kyoiku" which were bulletins of Kinan-Sakkyou

    Participatory Rural Development in 1930s Japan: The Economic Rehabilitation Movement

    No full text
    This paper studies an early participatory rural development program implemented during the 1930s in Japan. This program selected several villages each year to draft and implement their own original development plans. I discuss the implications of the features of the program on its effectiveness. A detailed baseline survey conducted by the villagers themselves helped them to objectively diagnose their economic situations and understand their issues. The plans defined clear numerical targets, allowing them to share goals and monitor progress. The implementation of the plan was reinforced by frequent communication and monitoring among neighbors and by an incentive scheme that involved competition within a village. I use a village-level panel dataset from the Hyogo prefecture to examine the effects, under the difference-in-differences strategy. I find suggestive evidence that the program helped foster the adoption of cattle raising and diversify agricultural production.Participatory development, Rural development program, Crop diversification, Great Depression, Japan

    The most C‐terminal tri‐glycine segment within the polyglycine stretch of the pea Toc75 transit peptide plays a critical role for targeting the protein to the chloroplast outer envelope membrane

    The protein translocation channel at the outer envelope membrane of chloroplasts (Toc75) is synthesized as a larger precursor with an N-terminal transit peptide. Within the transit peptide of the pea Toc75, a major portion of the 10 amino acid long stretch that contains nine glycine residues was shown to be necessary for directing the protein to the chloroplast outer membrane in vitro[Inoue K & Keegstra K (2003) Plant J34, 661–669]. In order to get insights into the mechanism by which the polyglycine stretch mediates correct targeting, we divided it into three tri-glycine segments and examined the importance of each domain in targeting specificity in vitro. Replacement of the most C-terminal segment with alanine residues resulted in mistargeting the protein to the stroma, while exchange of either of the other two tri-glycine regions had no effect on correct targeting. Furthermore, simultaneous replacement of the N-terminal and middle tri-glycine segments with alanine repeats did not cause mistargeting of the protein as much as those of the N- and C-terminal, or the middle and C-terminal segments. These results indicate that the most C-terminal tri-glycine segment is important for correct targeting. Exchanging this portion with a repeat of leucine or glutamic acid also caused missorting of Toc75 to the stroma. By contrast, its replacement with repeats of asparagine, aspartic acid, serine, and proline did not largely affect correct targeting. These data suggest that relatively compact and nonhydrophobic side chains in this particular region play a crucial role in correct sorting of Toc75
