Tension wood and growth stress induced by artificial inclination in textitLiriodendron tulipifera Linn. and Prunus spachiana Kitamura f. ascendens Kitamura
No full textThe relationship between the amount of growth stress and the degree of artificial
inclination was investigated in saplings of two angiosperm species. The tensile
growth stresses generated in Prunus spachiana, which forms gelatinous fibers,
were larger than those in Liriodendron tulipifera, which does not form gelatinous
fibers. In both species, the tensile growth stresses generated in the upper side
of inclined stems increased and the cellulose microfibrillar angle decreased
proportionally as the inclination changed from 0° (vertical) to 20°.
At inclinations over 20°, the tensile growth stress and cellulose microfibrillar angle
did not change further. The thickness of the current growth layer increased linearly
with the angle of inclination, but eccentric growth was not the main factor contributing
to the upward bending moment to return the axis to the normal vertical position.
This paper reveals that the growth stress generated by inclination is limited.
That is, growth stress increases with the inclination angle to a point, but then
does not increase further.Bois de tension et contrainte de croissance induits par inclinaison artificielle chez
Liriodendron tulipifera Linn. et Prunus spachiana Kitamura f. ascendens Kitamura.
La relation entre la contrainte de croissance et le niveau d'inclinaison artificielle
a été étudiée sur des pousses de deux espèces angiospermes. La contrainte de croissance
de traction générée par Prunus spachiana, qui produit des fibres gélatineuses,
est plus forte que celle de Liriodendron tulipifera, qui n'en produit pas. Dans les
deux espèces, une augmentation de l'inclinaison de 0 à 20° par rapport à la verticale,
produit proportionnellement une augmentation de la contrainte de traction générée sur
la face supérieure de la tige inclinée et une décroissance de l'angle des microfibrilles
cellulosiques. Des inclinaisons supérieures à 20° ne produisent pas de variation
supplémentaire, ni de la contrainte ni de l'angle des microfibrilles. La largeur du
cerne en cours de formation augmente linéairement avec l'angle d'inclinaison,
toutefois l'excentricité de la croissance n'est pas un facteur contribuant de manière
dominante au moment de flexion induisant le retour à la position verticale normale.
Cet article révèle le caractère borné de la contrainte de croissance, qui peut
augmenter jusqu'à un certain point mais ensuite ne dépasse pas cette limite

ANALYSIS OF HYPERBOLE MAJAS IN THE LYRICS OF THE SONG LEMON BY KENSHI YONEZU AND NEKO BY TAKUMI KITAMURA
No full textMusic is a beautiful tone and voice that contains rhythm, song, and the harmony of sound. In every song, there must be a figurative language. Majas (figurative language) is a medium in language that is useful in the process of delivering messages or presenting a certain idea. One of the figurative language types is hyperbole. Hyperbole is a figurative language which is an exaggerated expression. After being researched, the author found many hyperbole in various forms. This study used the theory by Sato to analyze hyperbole figurative language. The source of the data in this study is a Japanese song, namely Lemon by Kenzi Yonezu and Neko by Takumi Kitamura. The method of data collection used in this study is the observational method using a note-taking technique. Whereas the analysis used the referential method with the PUP technique (Teknik Pilah Unsur Penentu). Based on the results of the analysis of the hyperbole found in the song Lemon by Kenzi Yonezu and Neko by Takumi Kitamura, it can be concluded that there are 57 data of hyperbole, including in Lemon by Kenzi Yonezu with 27 data of hyperbole figurative language were found, and in Neko by Takumi Kitamura with 30 data of hyperbole figurative language were found. In this study, the hyperbole which is widely used in songs Lemon and Neko is the hyperbole that is related to feelings with 21 data found
Du texte à l'œuvre : L'édition commentée du Livre-oreiller de Sei Shônagon par Kitamura Kigin (1674)
No full textThis research is about The Spring Dawn Commentary, a commentary edition of The Pillow Book (Makura no sôshi 枕草子 ; c. 1000), written by Kitamura Kigin 北村季吟 in 1674.The Pillow Book is both atypical and heterogeneous. Atypical in that it is not readily comparable to other texts of the same era. Being heterogeneous, it evades attempts to characterize in one single definition all what it is composed of. The life of the author, known as “Sei Shônagon” 清少納言, remains obscure, and ancient manuscripts are extremely diverse in the text they present. The purpose of this study is to observe the course by which The Pillow Book has changed from “text” to “ literary work”. That is, how what was plural, inconstant and uncertain in its meaning became one, constant, meaningful and thus suitable for interpretation. The argument of this research is that The Spring Dawn Commentary played a major role in this process.17th century in Japan was characterized by a rapid development in book printing technology and the book trade, thus enabling the spread of knowledge. In this context, the poet Kitamura Kigin was one of the most respected commentators of ancient literature.Cette thèse porte sur une édition commentée du Livre-oreiller (Makura no sôshi枕草子 ; c. 1000), réalisée par Kitamura Kigin 北村季吟 en 1674 et intitulée Commentaire de l’aurore au printemps (Shunshoshô 春曙抄). Le Livre-oreiller est atypique et hétérogène. Atypique, il ne ressemble à aucune autre œuvre japonaise de la même époque. Hétérogène, il est difficile d’enfermer la diversité de ce qui le compose dans une définition unique, ou de caractériser ce qui pourrait assurer sa cohérence. La biographie de son auteur, désignée par le surnom de « Sei Shônagon » 清少納言, est incertaine. Enfin, les différents manuscrits présentent entre eux des différences profondes.L’objectif de ce travail est de reconstituer la trajectoire qu’a suivie Le Livre-oreiller pour passer du texte — objet écrit se manifestant comme multiple, instable, indéterminé, non interprété — à l’œuvre — entité unique, stable, signifiante et interprétable. Notre postulat est que le Commentaire de l’aurore au printemps constitue un moment décisif dans cette évolution. Le poète Kitamura Kigin, auteur de cette édition commentée, fut un influent commentateur de textes anciens, à une époque caractérisée par le développement du livre imprimé et la démocratisation de l’accès à la connaissance lettrée. Notre travail se situe à la croisée de l’étude littéraire, des études de la réception, et de l’histoire matérielle du livre

Notes: — Cirsium chrysolepis Shih was described on the basis of one collection, Xizang Exped. Pl. Med. 1575 (PE, Fig. 5 D, Fig. 6 A), from Nyalam, Tibet, China. In the protologue, the author did not compare it with any species, but in Flora Reipublicae Popularis Sinicae, Shih (1987) stated that it was close to C. flavisquamatum Kitamura (1974: 16), a species from Nepal, but differed by leaves discolorous, abaxially grayish white and densely or sparsely tomentose. But he neglected C. nishiokae Kitamura, a widespread species in Nepal and India. Cirsium nishiokae was described on the basis of one collection, H. Hara s.n. (TI, Fig. 6 A), from Darjeeling, India. Trough examination of the type materials and other specimens, we found that C. nishiokae and C. chrysolepis have no obvious differences in main traits between their type specimens, but there are some differences in the density of spinules on the abaxial leaf surface. But this feature is very variable in Cirsium. For example, there is a continuous variation from sparse to dense on the abaxial leaf surface of C. lipskyi. Cirsium nishiokae is distributed in Nepal and India at altitudes of 2500–3900 m, while C. chrysolepis is only found in Nyalam, Tibet, China at an altitude of 3500 m, where it is very close to the border to Nepal (Fig. 7). Therefore, we think they belong to the same species and treat C. chrysolepis as a synonym of C. nishiokae.Published as part of Jin, Zi-Chao & Chen, You-Sheng, 2022, Cirsium lipskyi (Asteraceae) is reinstated for C. interpositum, and C. chrysolepis is a new synonym of C. nishiokae, pp. 87-96 in Phytotaxa 547 (1) on pages 94-96, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.547.1.8, http://zenodo.org/record/655693

Do different types of VR influence pedestrian route choice behaviour? A comparison study of Desktop VR and HMD VR
No full textVirtual Reality (VR) is a valuable tool for studying pedestrian behaviour in complex and realistic scenarios. However, it has remained unknown how different VR technology would influence pedestrian behaviour. This paper presents VR experiments that were conducted with 70 participants using a desktop VR or a HMD VR to perform four different wayfinding tasks in a multi-story building. Quantitative analysis of pedestrian behaviour data and user experience data were performed in order to investigate the impact of the technological differences between the two VR techniques. It was found that participants had better wayfinding task performance in the desktop group. However, the route and exit choice and user experience were overall similar between the two groups. The findings suggest that one could adopt more ‘simple’ VR technologies for studies featuring ‘simple’ wayfinding tasks.Accepted Author ManuscriptTransport and Plannin
