Letter from Tsuna Watanabe to Honorable Henry L. Stimson, Secretary of War, November 30, 1944
No full textCorrespondence from Tsuna Watanabe to Henry Stimson regarding loyalty to the United States and requesting release from Topaz incarceration camp.The Japanese American Archival Collection documents the people, places, and daily life of Japanese Americans, primarily those who lived in the once thriving community of pre-war Florin in the Sacramento region, as well as the conditions in American incarceration camps during World War II. The approximately 7,000 original items include personal and official letters, photographs, diaries, arts and crafts, newsletters, textiles, camps artifacts, yearbooks and other publications
Quelques termes désignant le lieu et le temps d'un point de vue sémantique
No full textThis study has as its basis, certain terms (kondo, tsugi, saki, ato, mae, ushiro, uchi, soto, naka) originally having a spatial meaning, which was later extended to include time. The usage of some of these words may seem paradoxical, as the same term can, depending on the context, refer to the past or to the future, to anteriority or to posteriority. This usage is understandable if one accepts that the Japanese language does not make use of a single system of representation of time, but of three, the distinction lying in the opposition between wagakoto («one's own affair») and hitogoto («others' affairs»).Cette étude prend pour base certains termes (kondo, tsugi, saki, ato, mae, ushiro, uchi, soto, naka et aida) qui ont à l'origine une signification spatiale qui s'est par la suite étendue au temps. Le comportement de plusieurs d'entre eux peut paraître paradoxal, car le même terme pourra, selon les cas, référer tantôt au passé, tantôt au futur, désigner tantôt l'antériorité et tantôt la postériorité. Ce comportement pourtant s'explique si l'on accepte que la langue japonaise ne met pas en jeu un seul système de représentation du temps mais trois, dont la distinction reposerait sur l'opposition entre wagakoto («le fait du moi») et hitogoto («le fait de l'autre»).Watanabe Minoru.

New physics contributions in B → πτν and B → τν
No full textWe study possible new physics contributions in B → πτν and B → τν employing the model-independent effective Lagrangian that describes the quark-level transition b → uτν at low energies. The decay rate of B → πτν and its theoretical uncertainty are evaluated using the B → π form factors given by recent lattice QCD studies. Comparing theoretical results with the current experimental data, B(B → πτν) < 2.5 × 10-4 and B(B → τντ) = (1.14±0.22) × 10-4, we obtain constraints on the Wilson coefficients that quantify potential new physics. We also present the expected sensitivity of the SuperKEKB/Belle II experiment. © The Author(s) 2017. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Physical Society of Japan1211Nsciescopu

Dopamine Receptor–Mediated Mechanisms Involved in the Expression of Learned Activity of Primate Striatal Neurons
No full text Watanabe, Katsushige and Minoru Kimura. Dopamine receptor–mediated mechanisms involved in the expression of learned activity of primate striatal neurons. J. Neurophysiol. 79: 2568–2580, 1998. To understand the mechanisms by which basal ganglia neurons express acquired activities during and after behavioral learning, selective dopamine (DA) receptor antagonists were applied while recording the activity of striatal neurons in monkeys performing behavioral tasks. In experiment 1, a monkey was trained to associate a click sound with a drop of reward water. DA receptor antagonists were administered by micropressure using a stainless steel injection cannula (300 μm ID) through which a Teflon-coated tungsten wire for recording neuronal activity had been threaded. Responses to sound by tonically active neurons (TANs), a class of neurons in the primate striatum, were recorded through a tungsten wire electrode during the application of either D1- or D2-class DA receptor antagonists (total volume <1 μl, at a rate of 1 μl/5–10 min). Application of the D2-class antagonist, (−)-sulpiride (20 μg/μl, 58 mM, pH 6.8), abolished the responses of four of five TANs examined. In another five TANs, neither the D2-class antagonist nor the D1-class antagonists, SCH23390 (10 μg/μl, 31 mM, pH 5.7) or cis-flupenthixol (30 μg/μl, 59 mM, pH 6.6) significantly suppressed responses. In experiment 2, four- or five-barreled glass microelectrodes were inserted into the striatum. The central barrel was used for extracellular recording of activity of TANs. Each DA receptor antagonist was iontophoretically applied through one of the surrounding barrels. SCH23390 (10 mM, pH 4.5) and (−)-sulpiride (10 mM, pH 4.5) were used. The effects of iontophoresis of both D1- and D2-class antagonists were examined in 40 TANs. Of 40 TANs from which recordings were made, responses were suppressed exclusively by the D2-class antagonist in 19 TANs, exclusively by the D1-class antagonist in 3 TANs, and by both D1- and D2-class antagonists in 7 TANs. When 0.9% NaCl, saline, was applied by pressure (<1 μl) or by iontophoresis (<30 nA) as a control, neither the background discharge rates nor the responses of TANs were significantly influenced. Background discharge rate of TANs was also not affected by D1- or D2-class antagonists applied by either micropressure injection or iontophoresis. It was concluded that the nigrostriatal DA system enables TANs to express learned activity primarily through D2-class and partly through D1-class receptor–mediated mechanisms in the striatum. </jats:p
The Theory of Moral Education by Minoru Murai ～ On the Structure of Practical Threefold Syllogism in “Can We Do Moral Education?”
No full textThis paper is concerned with studying the Theory of Moral Education by Minoru Murai on the Structure of Practical Threefold Syllogism in “ Can We Do Moral Education?”published by him in 1966. First of all, I examine what significance this theory of Moral Education by Minoru Murai had when Both All-Japan Federation of Teacher’s and Staff's Unions and Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in Japan at that time had had some moral controversy. Second, I consider the theoretical characteristics of it based on the Structure of Practical Threefold Syllogism. Third, I examine the view of humans on Moral Education as the key-word of “appeal( 訴え）”．Finally, I write about how significant this theory is in Today’s world
