I remember living at Seabrook, 1945-1953
No full textIn this "I remember" memoir, Ann Mariko Lowe recalls life at Seabrook, which introduced her to many new experiences, including Halloween traditions. She remembers the living conditions in the dorms at Seabrook, where there was little privacy, and poor facilities. Afterwards, her family moved to the apartments, where they were able to form close bonds with other Japanese families. This was especially helpful with expenses. Ann also played basketball at the Community Center, attended Bible study classes, and was a student at Seabrook School. The Seabrook Educational and Cultural Center has been soliciting current and past residents of Seabrook Farms for an "I remember" project. Residents are asked to create narratives regarding their experiences at Seabrook Farms. These memories help preserve the history and multi-cultural heritage of Seabrook Farms
Contemporary Art in Japan and Cuteness in Japanese Popular Culture
Get PDFThis thesis is an art historical study focussing on contemporary Japan, and in particular the artists Murakami TakashL Mori Mariko, Aida Makoto, and Nara Yoshitomo. These artists represent a generation of artists born in the 1960s who use popular culture to their own ends. From the seminal exhibition 'Tokyo Pop' at Hiratsuka Museum of Art in 1996 which included all four artists, to Murakami's group exhibition 'Little Boy: The Arts of Japan's Exploding Subculture' which opened in April 2005, central to my research is an exploration of contemporary art's engagement with the pervasiveness of cuteness in Japanese culture.
Including key secondary material, which recognises cuteness as not merely something trivial but involving power play and gender role issues, this thesis undertakes an interdisciplinary analysis of cuteness in contemporary Japanese popular culture, and examines howcontemporary Japanese artists have responded, providing original research through interviews with Aida Makoto, Mori Mariko and Murakami Takashi. Themes examined include the deconstruction of the high and low in contemporary art; sh6jo (girl) culture and cuteness; the relation of cuteness and the erotic; the transformation of cuteness into the grotesque; cuteness and nostalgia; and virtual cuteness in Japanese science fiction animation, and computer games.

I remember Ikebana
No full textIn this "I remember" memoir, Mariko Ono describes her career in Ikebana, Japanese flower arrangement. Mrs. Ono participates in annual flower shows, conducts classes at various places, including museums and schools, and has been in charge of the Ikebana exhibit at the annual Chow Mein dinners of the Seabrook Chapter of the Japanese American Citizens League. The Seabrook Educational and Cultural Center has been soliciting current and past residents of Seabrook Farms for an "I remember" project. Residents are asked to create narratives regarding their experiences at Seabrook Farms. These memories help preserve the history and multi-cultural heritage of Seabrook Farms

A sparse spin qubit array with integrated control electronics
No full textCurrent implementations of quantum computers suffer from large numbers of control lines per qubit, becoming unmanageable with system scale up. Here, we discuss a sparse spin-qubit architecture featuring integrated control electronics significantly reducing the off-chip wire count. This quantum-classical hardware integration closes the feasibility gap towards a CMOS quantum computer.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.QCD/Vandersypen LabOLD QCD/Charbon LabBUS/GeneralQCD/Veldhorst Lab(OLD)Applied Quantum ArchitecturesQN/Vandersypen La
Evaluation of Upper-Limb Feeding Performance Using the Fugl–Meyer Assessment
No full textAbstract
Date Presented 3/30/2017
The Fugl–Meyer Assessment cutoff values to identify “can use spoon” and “can use chopsticks” were 54/53 and 62/61 points, with sensitivity and specificity of 86.7% and 96.4% and 100.0% and 97.1%, respectively. These optimal cutoff scores may be able to identify upper-limb feeding performance.

SDE WEAK APPROXIMATION LIBRARY (SDE WA) (VERSION 1.0)
Get PDFIn application of mathematical finance to practical problems, weak approximation of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) is one of the most important themes.In probabilistic approach to this problem, the Euler-Maruyama scheme which is a first-order weak approximation scheme has been used. Kusuoka recently proposed a weak approximation schceme for diffusion processes. Lyons andVictoir extensively developed the idea of this scheme to establish the cubature formula on the Weiner space. These results and the spread of quasi Monte Carlo method showed the efficiency of higher-order weak approximation which is often called Kusuoka approximation or KLV scheme. Ninomiya-Victoir and Ninomiya-Ninomiya successfully constructed algorithms of this scheme. These algorithms have been improved in a number of research. (Fujiwara, Ooshima-Teichman-Veluscek, etc.) The author constructed a universal numerical library written inCfor calculation of weak approximation of any fiven SDEs following the Kusuoka scheme. Two types of algorithms mentioned above (NV and NN) of the Kusuoka scheme are included in this library. The Euler-Maruyama scheme is also available in this library. The source code for this library can be obtained by downloading it from https://sites.google.com/site/marikoninomiya/
