Letter from Kay Yamashita to Pooh, November 1, 1942
No full textLetter from Kay Yamashita to Pooh at the Sakai house, written from Topaz incarceration camp. Yamashita mentions the Student Relocation Council and activities of the Fellowship of Reconciliation, a scheduled visit from Caleb Foote, and the arrival of a new teacher at the camp high school, F.O.R. member Mary McMillan. Yamashita asks if Joe [Joseph R. Goodman] would be willing to come teach at the high school. Kay also writes of lack of adequate heating in the cold weather, and of censorship of the camp newsletter: "If you get a hold of one of our Topaz Times, now a daily news sheet, don't believe all - it's highly censored - about as much as our Tanforan newspaper was - they're afraid to let anything unpleasant or detrimental to the administration out." Yamashita also mention lack of available or willing workers for farm labor in the camp.Personal correspondence, organizational records, government documents, publications, and other papers created or collected by Joseph R. Goodman documenting the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II, as well as organized resistance to incarceration. Included in the collection are records of the Japanese Young Men's Christian Association and the Japanese American Citizens' League in San Francisco, including papers of the Japanese YMCA's executive secretary Lincoln Kanai; Sakai family papers; Goodman's correspondence to and from Japanese American incarcerees, organizations opposing forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans, the War Relocation Authority, and others; publications, photographs, and ephemera from the Topaz Relocation Center, where Goodman taught high school; War Relocation Authority records and publications; and newspaper clippings, pamphlets, and reports about forced removal and incarceration created by various government, religious, and civic organizations, in California and nationwide

Yamashita writes of Christmas and New Year's festivities, and uncertainty and depression among students at the camp. She asks the Goodmans to send reading material for the students, and mentions that a student was allowed to go on leave. She mentions that the camp director, Mr. Ernst, who was broke regulations to permit an incarceree to visit his dying father at Tule Lake without an escort.Personal correspondence, organizational records, government documents, publications, and other papers created or collected by Joseph R.

Biography and Works of Yamashita Rin
No full textYAMASHITA, Rin, (1857-1939) whose Christian name was Irina, is one of the earliest modern oil painters in Japan, though her name is not so widely known. She entered the first Japanese art school in 1876 and was baptized in the Orthodox Church in 1879 while she was in school. She studied under Antonio FONTANESI, an Italian painter who had been invited by the art school. Then, with the suggestion of NIKOLAI, the archbishop of the Russian Orthodox Church in Tokyo, she went to Petersburg (present Leningrad) to study the production of icons in a monastery. After coming back to Japan she painted many icons for the Russian Orthodox cathedrals in various places in Japan.
The present author has already discussed the paintings of the Twelve Sacred Events she ex ecuted for the Resurrection of Our Lord Cathedral in Hakodate in No. 258 of this journal and there he briefly introduced her life.
Here the author describes in greater detail the biography of this artist based on her own diary and personal record, and further introduces some works by her which he has recently been able to investigate, that is, the iconostases in the cathedrals at Yōkaichiba City, Chiba; Ōdate City, Akita; Sapporo City, Hokkaidō; Nakashibetsu Town, Hokkaidō; and Kushiro City, Hokkaidō.journal articl
Weak electric fields serve as guidance cues that direct retinal ganglion cell axons in vitro
No full textAbstractGrowing axons are directed by an extracellular electric field in a process known as galvanotropism. The electric field is a predominant guidance cue directing retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons to the future optic disc during embryonic development. Specifically, the axons of newborn RGCs grow along the extracellular voltage gradient that exists endogenously in the embryonic retina (Yamashita, 2013 [8]). To investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying galvanotropic behaviour, the quantification of the electric effect on axon orientation must be examined. In the present study, a culture system was built to apply a constant, uniform direct current (DC) electric field by supplying an electrical current to the culture medium, and this system also continuously recorded the voltage difference between the two points in the medium. A negative feedback circuit was designed to regulate the supplied current to maintain the voltage difference at the desired value. A chick embryo retinal strip was placed between the two points and cultured for 24h in an electric field in the opposite direction to the endogenous field, and growing axons were fluorescently labelled for live cell imaging (calcein-AM). The strength of the exogenous field varied from 0.0005mV/mm to 10.0mV/mm. The results showed that RGC axons grew in the reverse direction towards the cathode at voltage gradients of ≥0.0005mV/mm, and straightforward extensions were found in fields of ≥0.2–0.5mV/mm, which were far weaker than the endogenous voltage gradient (15mV/mm). These findings suggest that the endogenous electric field is sufficient to guide RGC axons in vivo
RETRACTED: Directed Conversion of Alzheimer's Disease Patient Skin Fibroblasts into Functional Neurons
No full textThis article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy).This article has been retracted at the request of the Authors. In this paper, we described the directed conversion of skin fibroblasts from unaffected individuals or familial Alzheimer’s disease patients into human induced neuronal cells. We also presented molecular analyses of Alzheimer’s-associated markers in these cells. Dr. Ryousuke Fujita, who was specifically and only responsible for the molecular analyses of Alzheimer’s-associated pathology, has acknowledged inappropriately manipulating image panels and data points, as well as misrepresenting the number of repeats performed, in the experiments presented in Figures 6 and 7 of the paper (and corresponding Figures S5 and S6). We are in the process of repeating these analyses. Given these issues, we believe that the most appropriate course of action is to retract the paper. We deeply regret this circumstance and apologize to the community
Singularities of tangent surfaces to generic space curves
No full textWe give the complete solution to the local diffeomorphism classification problem of generic singularities which appear in tangent surfaces, in as wider situations as possible. We interpret tangent geodesics as tangent lines whenever a (semi-) Riemannian metric, or, more generally, an affine connection is given in an ambient space of arbitrary dimension. Then, given an immersed curve, we define the tangent surface as the ruled surface by tangent geodesics to the curve. We apply the characterization of frontal singularities found by Kokubu, Rossman, Saji, Umehara, Yamada, and Fujimori, Saji, Umehara, Yamada, and found by the first author related to the procedure of openings of singularities
