No full textLetter from Gerald Masahiro Sato, attorney at law, World Trade Center, to the Japanese American Board Association (JABA) board members, about endorsing the National Coalition for Redress/Reparations (NCRR).The Jim Matsuoka Nikkei for Civil Rights and Redress Collection includes brochures, meeting notes and agendas, publications, booklets, and other material related to the Nikkei for Civil Rights and Redress (NCRR), formally known as the National Coalition for Redress/Reparations. The National Coalition for Redress/Reparations was officially formed on July 12, 1980, and included members of the Los Angeles Community Coalition for Redress/Reparations (LACCRR), Japanese Community Progressive Alliance (JCPA), Tule Lake Committee, Nihonmachi Outreach Committee, the Asian/Pacific Student Union, and other members of the community. The material was collected by Jim Matsuoka, a founding member of the organization. Matsuoka also served on the board and was the treasurer. In addition to the NCRR material, the collection also contains event flyers and Day of Remembrance material.

Universal effects of solvent species on the stabilized structure of a protein
No full textWe investigate the effects of solvent specificities on the stability of the native structure (NS) of a protein on the basis of our free-energy function (FEF). We use CPB-bromodomain (CBP-BD) and apoplastocyanin (apoPC) as representatives of the protein universe and water, methanol, ethanol, and cyclohexane as solvents. The NSs of CBP-BD and apoPC consist of 66% α-helices and of 35% β-sheets and 4% α-helices, respectively. In order to assess the structural stability of a given protein immersed in each solvent, we contrast the FEF of its NS against that of a number of artificially created, misfolded decoys possessing the same amino-acid sequence but significantly different topology and α-helix and β-sheet contents. In the FEF, we compute the solvation entropy using the morphometric approach combined with the integral equation theories, and the change in electrostatic (ES) energy upon the folding is obtained by an explicit atomistic but simplified calculation. The ES energy change is represented by the break of protein-solvent hydrogen bonds (HBs), formation of protein intramolecular HBs, and recovery of solvent-solvent HBs. Protein-solvent and solvent-solvent HBs are absent in cyclohexane. We are thus able to separately evaluate the contributions to the structural stability from the entropic and energetic components. We find that for both CBP-BD and apoPC, the energetic component dominates in methanol, ethanol, and cyclohexane, with the most stable structures in these solvents sharing the same characteristics described as an association of α-helices. In particular, those in the two alcohols are identical. In water, the entropic component is as strong as or even stronger than the energetic one, with a large gain of translational, configurational entropy of water becoming crucially important so that the relative contents of α-helix and β-sheet and the content of total secondary structures are carefully selected to achieve sufficiently close packing of side chains. If the energetic component is excluded for a protein in water, the priority is given to closest side-chain packing, giving rise to the formation of a structure with very low α-helix and β-sheet contents. Our analysis, which requires minimal computational effort, can be applied to any protein immersed in any solvent and provides robust predictions that are quite consistent with the experimental observations for proteins in different solvent environments, thus paving the way toward a more detailed understanding of the folding process

Buffer-gas pressure broadening for the (0 00 3) ← (0 00 0) band of N2O measured with continuous-wave cavity ring-down spectroscopy
Get PDFBuffer-gas pressure broadening for the (0 00 3) ← (0 00 0) band of N2O was investigated with continuous-wave cavity ring-down spectroscopy within the temperature range of 243–353 K. The measured absorption profiles were analyzed with Voigt functions. The pressure broadening coefficients, γ(gas), and the temperature dependent parameters (broadening exponent) were determined for a variety of buffer gases: N2, O2, He, Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe. γ(air) values were also determined using γ(N2) and γ(O2). The effective potential well depth for (N2O)2 under room temperature was estimated from γ(Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe) using the Permenter–Seaver’s model, and the results were compared with theoretical calculations. Simultaneously, the effective potential well depth for (CO2)2 is discussed.PublishedTomoki Nakayama, Hisato Fukuda, Akihiro Sugita, Satoshi Hashimoto, Masahiro Kawasaki, Simone Aloisio, Isamu Morino, Gen Inoue, Buffer-gas pressure broadening for the (0 00 3) <-- (0 00 0) band of N2O measured with continuous-wave cavity ring-down spectroscopy, Chemical Physics, Volume 334, Issues 1-3, 20 April 2007, Pages 196-203.https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemphys.2007.03.0010301-010

Japanese Society and Lay Participation in Criminal Justice ::Social Attitudes, Trust, and Mass Media /
No full textThis book describes the state of the lay participation system in criminal justice, saiban-in seido, in Japanese society. Starting with descriptions of the outlines of lay participation in the Japanese criminal justice system, the book deals with the questions of what the lay participants think about the system after their participation, how the general public evaluate the system, whether the introduction of lay participation has promoted trust in the justice system in Japan, and the foci of Japanese society's interest in the lay participation system. To answer these questions, the author utilizes data obtained from social surveys of actual participants and of the general public. The book also explores the results of quantitative text analyses of newspaper articles. With those data, the author describes how Japanese society evaluates the implementation of the system and discusses whether the system promotes democratic values in Japan. Masahiro Fujita is a Professor of Social Psychology in the Faculty of Sociology at Kansai University.
