Links with East Asia for a recovery from the Great East Japan Earthquake: Geographical Simulation Analysis
No full textJapan is now struggling for a recovery from the devastating earthquake and tsunami of March 11, 2011. Although trunk logistic infrastructure has quickly been restored, some local infrastructure is likely to take a longer time to re-establish. The theory of new economic geography suggests that temporary interruption of infrastructure services may generate long-term negative effects on the Tohoku region and Japan as a whole because some of the economic activities may move away. We argue that strengthening links with East Asia is a key supplementary policy for achieving a full economic recovery. Our Geographical Simulation Model assesses economic effects of several policy scenarios.

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

Analysis of AC Losses in the ITER Central Solenoid Insert Coil
No full textThe circle-in-square cable-in-conduit conductor that will be adopted for the 3L module of the ITER Central Solenoid (CS) coil has been recently tested to assess its performance in conditions relevant for the real operation of the magnet. The tests on a ∼43-m-long conductor were performed in the CS Insert Project carried out under the responsibility of the US ITER Domestic Agency, in charge of the CS modules manufacturing. In this paper, we present an evaluation of the ac losses of this conductor aiming at the assessment of the nτ value for the conductor coupling losses. The electromagnetic (EM) and thermal-hydraulic (TH) analysis of these experiments is then performed. A detailed distribution of the coupling losses in the conductor is computed, with the electromagnetic part of the THELMA model. The obtained power density distribution is then input to the TH model (the 4C code) to compute the TH parameters (e.g., the temperature evolution at selected locations along the conductor) during Central Solenoid Model Coil current dumps. The EM/TH model is then validated against experimental data and used to extract relevant information on the conductor ac losses
Land lease between Dominguez Estate Company and Torakichi Isono, 1937
No full textDescribes agreement terms for 22 acres of the G. M. Dominguez allotment of Rancho San Pedro east of Western Avenue. The land is subject to survey and the lease agreement "shall not be recorded or offered for record." The agreement begins January 1, 1938 and ends December 31, 1938. Yearly rent is $550. A portion of the text referring to subletting is stricken and replacement text has been added at the end of the lease. The replacement text refers to subletting and alien land laws. The lease is signed by the company and lessee
