Koide Narashige’s Early Works and Life
No full textHitherto the life and work of KOIDE Narashige's early days have been only vaguely known. But the present author recently found some paintings and letters of his early days, and subsequenlty wrote an article in Vol. 223, the Bijutsu Kenkyu (July, 1962) on KOIDE's college days. In the present paper, the author discusses KOIDE's life and artistic tendency in the period from 1914 when he finished the Tokyo Art School, to 1911 when he was to make a name in the world of painting by presenting “Family Portrait of N”. After graduation from the Art School, KOIDE returned to Osaka, his native place. But since the center of artistic activities was Tokyo, Osaka, which had the hornour of being Japan's most important, traditional commercial town, made oil painters look alien. KOIDE's ancestors had been famous pharmacists originating in the Edo Period; his home lacked on understanding of the new art of oil painting. KOIDE, in such circumstances where there was little interest in art, found it dfficult, but he continued to work alone.
Although from around 1912 such new western artistic movements as Fauvism, Post-impressionism and Cubism were introduced and strongly influenced young Japanese painters, KOIDE's works of this stage do not show this kind of influence but remain mere representations of natural things, and the direction of his work was not yet determined. The painting of the evening scenery of the Dōton-bori, one of the cobweb-like canals in the city, a familiar scene to him, is a representative work of the stage just after finishing Art School. (Pl. I.) This picture, embodying a sensibility to his environment, is an affectionate work incorporating the intimate feeling of a commoner's life, though a peculiar expression of his own has not yet been attained. But from this stage he began to struggle to find his own expression and to distill his style, the accomplishment of which was to take a long time. Not long after, figure and still life entered his repertory in addition to landscape.
For a while after 1919 or so, the influence of Cézanne suddenly appears in his work. While the pursuit of solid expression characteristic of Cézanne raised the spirit of form in KOIDE, his work took the first step forward into the world of intellectual, modernistic form, leaving behind him simple reproduction of nature. Its eariest witness is the “Family Portrait of N” which happened to bring him fame, and it was also this work that decided his direction as a painter.journal articl
Energy scale independence of Koide's relation for quark and lepton masses
No full textKoide's mass relation of charged leptons has been extended to quarks and neutrinos, and we prove here that this relation is independent of energy scale in a huge energy range from 1 GeV to 2x10(16) GeV. By using the parameters k(u), k(d), and k(nu) to describe the deviations of quarks and neutrinos from the exact Koide's relation, we also check the quark-lepton complementarity of masses such as k(l)+k(d)approximate to k(nu)+k(u)approximate to 2, and show that it is also independent (or insensitive) of energy scale.Astronomy & AstrophysicsPhysics, Particles & FieldsSCI(E)8ARTICLE1null7
Koide Narashige’s College Life and His Early Paintings
No full textKoide Narashige (1887-1931) was a man of exceptionally modern sense among Japanese Wes- tern-style painters, and has left many notable works from about 1920 to his last years. Detail ed study about him, however, has not been made heretofore. His early paintings and activities, more especially, remain rarely unknown. Recently a few of his early works have been discovered, and it became also known that there are some letters of this period which provide us with sources of information about a part of his student period. Based upon these new discoveries, the author discusses on Koide's career during his studentship at the Tokyo Art School (now the Tokyo University of Arts).
In 1907 Koide tried to enter the Western Painting Department of the Tokyo Art School. He failed to pass the examination and entered the Japanese Painting Department, where he was taught by Shimomura Kanzan, Tsuruta Kisui and other professors on Japanese painting. He was particularly favored by Tsuruta, who guided him days and nights and promised him a bright future. At about the end of his second year grade in 1908, however, he realiged that the materials of Japanese painting were not suit
able for his art, and decided to turn to Western painting as he had formerly wished to. In 1909 he finished the two-year course of Japanese painting and re-entered the Western Painting Department. He thus made a renewed start as a Western-style painter under the guidance of Professors Kuroda Seiki and Nagahara Kôtarô. In the field of Western-style painting in Japan at the time, the Plein-airistic style, which Kuroda studied under Rephael Collin and brought back to Japan, was dominant. The Western Painting Department at the Tokyo Art School also laid importance on the Plein-airistic style, to which, however, Koide showed a strong resistance. Nevertheless, he was not a man of such vehement character to participate in Fauvistic movement which impressed young artists of the time. His painting in this period are rather realistic ones in which dark color tones and modest expression were the keynotes. Speaking on a general ground, they do not yet show any distinctive original style of his own. He spent the years at the Tokyo Art School as an unnoticed student and was graduated in 1914, to experience thereafter a few more years of trying self-exploration.journal articl
HTself2: Combining p-values to Improve Classification of Differential Gene Expression in HTself
No full textHTself is a web-based bioinformatics tool designed to deal with the classification of differential gene expression for low replication microarray studies. It is based on a statistical test that uses self-self experiments to derive intensity-dependent cutoffs. The method was previously described in Vêncio et al, (DNA Res. 12: 211- e 214, 2005). In this work we consider an extension of HTself by calculating p-values instead of using a fixed credibility level α. As before, the statistic used to compute single spots p-values is obtained from the gaussian Kernel Density Estimator method applied to self-self data. Different spots corresponding to the same biological gene (replicas) give rise to a set of independent p-values which can be combined by well known statistical methods. The combined p-value can be used to decide whether a gene can be considered differentially expressed or not. HTself2 is a new version of HTself that uses the idea of p-values combination. It was implemented as a user-friendly desktop application to help laboratories without a bioinformatics infrastructure

An assessment of contact metallization for high power and high temperature diamond Schottky devices
No full textDifferent metals W, Al, Ni and Cr were evaluated as Schottky contacts on the same p-type lightly boron doped homoepitaxial diamond layer. The current–voltage (I–V) characteristics, the series resistance and the thermal stability are discussed in the range of RT to 625 K for all Schottky devices. High current densities close to 3.2 kA/cm2 are displayed and as the series resistance decreases with increasing temperature, proving the potential of diamond for high power and high temperature devices. The thermal stability of metal/diamond interface investigated with regards to the Schottky barrier height (SBH) and ideality factor n fluctuations indicated that Ni and W are thermally stable in the range of RT to 625 K. Current–voltage measurements at reverse bias indicated a maximum breakdown voltage of 70 V corresponding to an electric field of 3.75 MV/cm. Finally, these electrical measurements have been completed with mechanical adhesion tests of contact metallizations on diamond by nano-scratching technique. These studies clearly reveal Ni as a promising contact metallization for high power, high temperature and good mechanical strength diamond Schottky barrier diode applications

Army and they had no place to return anymore.The Kiyoshi Uyekawa Tule Lake Camp Collection comprises of the wartime publications collected by Kiyoshi Uyekawa while incarcerated in the Tule Lake camp, such as Tule Lake newsletters and bulletins, materials issued by the Pro-Japanese group, Sokoku Hoshidan (or Hoshi Dan), WRA publications, his family's incarceration documents, which include documents regarding his and his wife, Mitsuye‘s repatriation, his fictional works’ manuscripts, bulletins and manuscripts of haiku poems authored by the members of the haiku societies incarcerated in the camps, and letters from Kyo Koide, who was a prominent figure in the community as a photographer, physician, and poet under the pseudonym, Banjin Koide
Spectroscopy of family gauge bosons
No full textAbstractSpectroscopy of family gauge bosons is investigated based on a U(3) family gauge boson model proposed by Sumino. In his model, the family gauge bosons are in mass eigenstates in a diagonal basis of the charged lepton mass matrix. Therefore, the family numbers are defined by (e1,e2,e3)=(e,μ,τ), while the assignment for quark sector are free. For possible family-number assignments (q1,q2,q3), under a constraint from K0–K¯0 mixing, we investigate possibilities of new physics, e.g. production of the lightest family gauge boson at the LHC, μ−N→e−N, rare K and B decays, and so on
