No full textExcerpt, summary, and index of an oral history interview of Yoshimi Shibata. Conducted by Eric Saul on September 19, 1985, in San Francisco, CA. Transcribed by unknown and Yi-Shen Loo.This oral history interview was conducted for the MIS Oral History Project by the Military Intelligence Service Association of Northern California, Inc. (MISNORCAL). This three-part project includes the MIS Biography Project and MIS Biographical Questionnaires; the MIS Oral History Project, which consists of audio-only oral history interviews conducted by the MIS Oral History Committee; and video interviews conducted by Sheryl Nakahara, Marsha Tagami, and Calvin Roberts. The project was originally created to capture the stories of the MIS veterans. Some of the footage was used in the documentary "Uncommon Courage" by gayle k. yamada.

Naddia taiwanensis can be easily distinguished from other members of Naddia Fauvel, 1867 in Taiwan by its elytra, which are entirely covered with orange-red pubescence. Bionomics. Many specimens of N. taiwanensis were collected by Malaise trap from middle elevation mountainous forests. Shibata (1979) reported the types series of N. taiwanensis were collected under a dead tree or from fallen leaves on the forest ground. Distribution. Naddia taiwanensis is only known from Taiwan but is widespread on the island. The species is at present known from Nantou County, New Taipei City, Pingtung County, Taipei City, and Taoyuan City (Shibata, 1979, this study), and is presumably distributed in mountainous areas of the entire island.Published as part of Hu, Fang-Shuo, 2020, New distributional records of Staphylinina in Taiwan, including a new species of Miobdelus Sharp (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Staphylininae: Staphylinini), pp. 334-360 in Zootaxa 4768 (3) on page 344, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4768.3.2, http://zenodo.org/record/378403

Incidence of stroke in Shibata, Japan: 1976-1978.
No full textA stroke registry was established in Shibata City, Niigata Prefecture, Japan (population 75,000) in 1976. WHO recommendations for criteria were followed. This paper reports stroke incidence for the initial 3 years of the registry: 1976 through 1978. All living patients were examined clinically by a staff physician. Only patients with a diagnosis of first stroke were included in the study. Sensitivity of the referral system was estimated at 85 + %, comparable to that in American studies. Average annual incidence per 1,000 in resident greater than or equal to 20 years was 2.61 for all strokes (3.42 for males; 1.88 for females), 0.20 for subarachnoid hemorrhage, 0.61 for cerebral hemorrhage, 1.51 for cerebral infarction - rates similar to those reported 10-20 years previously for the United States. The male-female ratio, 2:1, reflected a high rate among males, low among females. Rats among Shibata males were higher than 1972 U.S. rates reported by the Epidemiologic Study Group; rates among Shibata females were lower than corresponding U.S. rates. Incidence of all strokes combined increased with age, the age relationship being strongest for cerebral infarction. No subarachnoid hemorrhage was observed in Shibata residents greater than or equal to 70 years of age.</jats:p
A biographical study of MIZOGUCHI Nagahiro, principal retainer of the fief of Shibata
No full textThe Shibata Clan of Echigo, roughly present Niigata Prefecture, is well known for its encouragement of learning: it was receptive to the teachings of YAMAZAKI Ansai and SATO Naokata and published their writings. MIZOGUCHI Nagahiro was a principal retainer of the Shibata Clan who was responsible in this policy.
The author has been requested to research a set of documents that had been the possession of the MIZOGUCHI family. The main document, Kafubo, The book of genealogy of the MIZOGUCHI family, covers the two hundred and fifty years of the history of the family and is itself a remarkable record of the life and work of the upper samurai in the Edo period, the founder of the family being a younger brother of the first chief of the Shibata Clan. This essay introduces the contents of the latter part of Kafubo.departmental bulletin pape

The Macro-and Micro-Language Learning Counseling: An Autoethnographic Account
No full textThis article describes an example of the counselor’s role in a relatively small Self-Access Center (SAC) for language learning in universities in Japan. The author has been involved with establishing and running two SACs in Japanese universities. The study used autoethnography as its research method to look closely at the counselor’s role. This study eventually helped the author to analyze the counseling she has been providing and to realize that the counselor is required to provide not only macro-counseling but also micro-counseling. Micro-counseling consists of short, informal interactions with learners which connect the learner to elements in SACs, such as teaching assistants, other language learners, and language learning materials. These micro-counseling encounters can help to create a secure space which encourages learners to engage in macro-counseling sessions which support their language learning
Ejected-electron spectra from Rydberg states in high-energy collisions of O(3+) ions with He
No full textHigh-resolution Coster-Kronig (C-K) electron emission spectra in collisions of 32 MeV O(3+) ions with a He gas target have been investigated using zero-degree electron spectroscopy. Zero-degree electron spectrum for the O(3+) projectiles exhibits a trident-like structure around the cusp peak., consisting of three clear peaks. The sharp peaks directly on either side of the cusp corresponded to autoionization lines from highly excited O(3+) ions produced in the collision with a He gas target, which are confirmed to be due to the configuration 1s(2)2s2p((3)P)5s, where the C-K ejection energy is 0.014 eV. The C-K transitions in higher energy region are found to originate in 1s(2)2s2p((3)P)nl-1s(2)2s(2)epsilon l' (n = 5-11). For n = 5-7, a clear angular momentum distribution is observed, where the maximum intensity is attributed to the relatively high angular momentum l = 2 or 3. (c) 2005 Published by Elsevier B.V
Nonspinning black hole-neutron star mergers: a model for the amplitude of gravitational waveforms
No full textBlack hole-neutron star binary mergers display a much richer phenomenology than black hole-black hole mergers, even in the relatively simple case - considered in this paper - in which both the black hole and the neutron star are nonspinning. When the neutron star is tidally disrupted, the gravitational wave emission is radically different from the black hole-black hole case and it can be broadly classified in two groups, depending on the spatial extent of the disrupted material. We present a phenomenological model for the gravitational waveform amplitude in the frequency domain that encompasses the three possible outcomes of the merger: no tidal disruption, "mild", and "strong" tidal disruption. The model is calibrated to general relativistic numerical simulations using piecewise polytropic neutron star equations of state. It should prove useful to extract information on the nuclear equation of state from future gravitational-wave observations, and also to obtain more accurate estimates of black hole-neutron star merger event rates in second- and third-generation interferometric gravitational-wave detectors. We plan to extend and improve the model as longer and more accurate gravitational waveforms become available, and we will make it publicly available online as a Mathematica package. We also present in appendix analytical fits of the projected KAGRA noise spectral density, that should be useful in data analysis applications
