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
Extension of the Watanabe-Sagawa-Ueda uncertainty relations to infinite-dimensional systems
No full textWatanabe, Sagawa, and Ueda defined the measurement error of an observable and
the disturbance to an observable by measurements for finite-dimensional systems
on the basis of quantum estimation theory and derived uncertainty relation
inequalities of error-error and error-disturbance types. This paper extend the
Watanabe-Sagawa-Ueda uncertainty relations to infinite-dimensional systems
employing the Fr\'echet derivative. We present a classical estimation theory
and a quantum estimation theory, both of which are formulated for parameter
spaces of infinite dimensions. An improvement in the derivation method makes
the resulting uncertainty relation inequalities tighter than original ones

Attention-Regulated Activity in Human Primary Visual Cortex
No full text Watanabe, Takeo, Yuka Sasaki, Satoru Miyauchi, Benno Putz, Norio Fujimaki, Matthew Nielsen, Ryosuke Takino, and Satoshi Miyakawa. Attention-regulated activity in human primary visual cortex. J. Neurophysiol. 79: 2218–2221, 1998. Effects of attention to a local contour of a moving object on the activation of human primary visual cortex (area V1) were examined. Local cerebral oxygenation changes (an index of neuronal activity) in human area V1 were measured with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in conditions including the following two: 1) when attention was selectively directed toward one side of a moving wedge (the attention condition) and 2) when the wedges were viewed passively (the passive condition). Activation in area V1 was found to be higher in the attention condition than in the passive condition. To our knowledge, this is the first finding that attention to motion activates as early as area V1. We suggest that attentional activation of area V1 is task dependent. </jats:p
On Watanabe\u27s theta graph diffeomorphism in the 4-sphere
No full textWatanabe\u27s theta graph diffeomorphism, constructed using Watanabe\u27s clasper surgery construction which turns trivalent graphs in 4-manifolds into parameterized families of diffeomorphisms of 4-manifolds, is a diffeomorphism of representing a potentially nontrivial smooth mapping class of . The (1,2)-subgroup of the smooth mapping class group of is the subgroup represented by diffeomorphisms which are pseudoisotopic to the identity via a Cerf family with only index 1 and 2 critical points. This author and Hartman showed that this subgroup is either trivial or has order 2 and explicitly identified a diffeomorphism that would represent the nontrivial element if this subgroup is nontrivial. Here we show that the theta graph diffeomorphism is isotopic to this one possibly nontrivial element of the (1,2)-subgroup. To prove this relation we develop a diagrammatic calculus for working in the smooth mapping class group of .16 pages, 11 figure

Letter from Hideo Watanabe to Betty [Salzman], July 16, 1942
No full textPersonal letter thanking Salzman for sending an encyclopedia and noting that "daily work is about the same" and that "everything is on the boresome side." Also mentions visit by church friends; a move by Miriko [Nagahama], her mother and sister to a new place within the camp, undertaken because of a new regulation seeking to reduce the number of inhabitants per apartment; and that Honey [Toda] is well.The Manzanar Collection features materials relating to the forced relocation to Manzanar, California, of Miriko Nagahama and Honey Mitsuye Toda, including correspondence, photographs, and newspapers, donated in 1981 and 1995
