Kyodo risshiki . [Tanaka Tsurukichi] [picture] /
No full textThe print is from the series titled, 'Kyodo risshiki, featuring histocal figures who are known for their good behaviours or great achievements. Various print makers contributed to this series such as Yoshitoshi Taiso, Kiyocika Kobayashi, Toshikata MIzuno as well as Yasuji Inoue.; Also available in an electronic version via the internet: http://nla.gov.au/nla.pic-vn5009199. The print depicts the well known Japanese who sneaked in to an American ship and travelled to United States. He later came back to Japan to start a business on salt farming, but it did not succeed with various reasons and went back to United States. Here in this print, the story in the text says, his business is going well

P. conferta is characterized by having much clearer black patches for the antemedial, postmedial and submarginal lines; the patches of the antemedial and postmedial lines are larger than in other species, as is the W-shaped forewing discal spot. The male genitalia are close to those of P. boarmiata, P. m o d e r a t a and P. fulvaria, but the uncus is broader than in those three species, the valva is less up-curved than in P. boarmiata and P. moderata, and shorter than in P. fulvaria; the aedeagus shares one bundle of spines on the vesica with P. m o d e r a t a, P. crypta and P. fulvaria, but the spines are shorter than in P. moderata. The female genitalia are close to those of P. similaria, but the ductus bursae is much broader, and the spines of the discoid signum are slenderer than in P. similaria. Distribution.

P. moderata resembles P. similaria in having smaller antemedial and postmedial black patches: these patches are elongate in P. moderata, but appear as small dots in P. similaria. The male genitalia are similar to those of P. boarmiata, P. conferta and P. fulvaria. They can be distinguished by the following features: the uncus of P. m o d e r a t a is narrower than that of P. conferta; the distal part of the valva is less up-curved than in P. boarmiata, and the gnathos is narrower than that of P. fulvaria; the aedeagus shares one bundle of spines on the vesica with P. conferta, P. crypta and P. fulvaria, but the spines are longer than in P. conferta. The female genitalia are close to those of P. similaria and P. conferta, but the ductus bursae is narrower than in P. conferta, and the antrum is longer than in P. s i m i l a r i a. Distribution.

Nipponasura Inoue 1965
No full textSubgenus Nipponasura Inoue, 1965, stat. n. Nipponasura Inoue, 1965: 241 (as genus). T y p e s p e c i e s: Nipponasura sanguinea Inoue, 1965 (by original designation). Diagnosis. The single known member of the subgenus is significantly smaller than both species of the subgenus Sesapa. The male genitalia are similar to those of Sesapa, but differ by the horseshoe-like merged transtillae with long and narrow transtillar processes covered with spinules, absence of medial costal processes and the narrower vesica (in Sesapa the vesica is broad, globular). The female genitalia differ from those of Sesapa by the rugose antevaginal plate, the longer and broader ductus bursae and the more or less globular corpus bursae. D i s t r i b u t i o n.

Japan: Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu (Fig. 11). Bionomics. The collecting records show that P. rufula is distributed in mountainous areas. Adults appear in fall and spring (October–November, April), and are found in mushroom (e. g. Omphalotus japonicus) and fallen leaves. Diagnosis. P. rufula can be easily distinguished from other congeners by the following character states: head, thorax, and abdomen reddish brown to light brown, darker in head and posterior part of abdomen; dorsal surface of head and pronotum without reticulation; basal impressions of abdominal tergites III–VII with large pores. P. rufula is similar to P. inflexa regarding the median lobe of the aedeagus, but can be distinguished by the following characters: size smaller; sclerites 1 convex at posterior margin, not curved posteriorly at ventral apex; sclerites 4 indistinct. Etymology. The specific name alludes to the reddish body.Published as part of Inoue, Shûgo & Maruyama, Munetoshi, 2022, Revision of the genus Plesiochara Sawada (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Aleocharinae), pp. 501-519 in Zootaxa 5165 (4) on pages 515-517, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5165.4.3, http://zenodo.org/record/685386
Extended C*-Algebras and Extended W*-Algebras
No full textIn this chapter, we discuss GB*-algebras of closable operators in a Hilbert space. Thus, the reader has the chance to encounter the basics of unbounded *-representations, with various uniform topologies defined on the *-preserving vector space ℒ†(D, ℋ) of all linear operators T with domain a dense subspace D of a Hilbert space ℋ and values in ℋ, in such a way that D is contained in the domain D(T∗) of the adjoint operator T∗ of T. The restriction of T∗ on D defines an involution on ℒ†(D, ℋ), detoted by †. Moreover, we deal with EC*-algebras and EW*-algebras (Inoue) that correspond to unbounded generalizations of the classical C*- and W*-algebras, respectively. The latter algebras occur naturally in the analysis of an unbounded generalization of left Hilbert algebras (Inoue). There are interesting contributions of EC*-algebras, in the theory of GB*-algebras. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG
MeSH term explosion and author rank improve expert recommendations
No full textInformation overload is an often-cited phenomenon that reduces the productivity, efficiency and efficacy of scientists. One challenge for scientists is to find appropriate collaborators in their research. The literature describes various solutions to the problem of expertise location, but most current approaches do not appear to be very suitable for expert recommendations in biomedical research. In this study, we present the development and initial evaluation of a vector space model-based algorithm to calculate researcher similarity using four inputs: 1) MeSH terms of publications; 2) MeSH terms and author rank; 3) exploded MeSH terms; and 4) exploded MeSH terms and author rank. We developed and evaluated the algorithm using a data set of 17,525 authors and their 22,542 papers. On average, our algorithms correctly predicted 2.5 of the top 5/10 coauthors of individual scientists. Exploded MeSH and author rank outperformed all other algorithms in accuracy, followed closely by MeSH and author rank. Our results show that the accuracy of MeSH term-based matching can be enhanced with other metadata such as author rank
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
