No full textThis retrospective exhibition celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Seto International Ceramics and Glass Art Exchange Program. 68 artists have participated in this programme since its inception in 2000. In this exhibition, the artwork of 13 of these artists was selected and displayed at the Seto Ceramic and Glass Art Center from 26 September-1 November 2020. This included 4 of the pieces made during my participation in the programme in 2015.Greeting statement included in leaflet: Almost five years have passed since I first visited Seto as a ceramic artist in residence. I remain fascinated by the city’s rich ceramic culture, past and present, and I have since visited a further five times.Then, the freedom to travel and experience new places and cultures seemed like an unassailable human right. Seto’s residency programme is a reminder of the importance of grassroots global collaboration and understanding in this unprecedented time of international crisis. I will never forget the unparalleledcamaraderie, kindness and hospitality I experienced during my time in Seto. The Covid-19 pandemic has offered us a chance to reflect on the past and plan for an alternative future. I am delighted to be represented in this timely retrospective exhibition.I wish to thank the Seto City Cultural Promotion Foundation, the Shinseiki Kougeikan, and the people of Seto for the life-changing opportunities provided by this experience

The experimental realism of William Dean Howells
No full textThe “experimental” in my title refers to Howells’s self-conscious development of a literary form that could give the most complete, deepest account of a reality characterized by the ordinary and even the banal. For the middle class, Howells’s perennial subject, the norm is to aspire to transcend, and the ordinary can appear elusive, even nonexistent. Of course, in political terms, a middle class culture considers everyone basically the same, this resemblance defining the ordinary. It is assumed that everyone shares the same economic goals, and the same desire for familial and individual success. Being ordinary is therefore a moral quality. This means, paradoxically, that ordinariness can only prove itself in exceptional individuals. To strive is virtuous, to fail is shameful; either way one’s ordinariness is subsumed to a greater drama. The drama at the center of middle class art is the plight of the exceptional individual demonstrating a Platonic ordinariness. It is hard to think of characters in novels who are not exceptional financially or morally. In Henry James’s The Portrait of a Lady and The Wings of the Dove finance and morality go together. The novels of Eliot, Dickens, even those of the French realists unfold stories in which ordinary characters, by some exceptional moral quality, try to transcend their economic and historical situations. Howells called this story romantic and insisted on writing about the most mundane aspects of ordinary life. His novels were not about the exceptional who rise above the crowd but about ordinary people who do not transcend but stay on the ground. Howells described this divide between moral ideals and actual economic circumstance as “the infernal juggle of the mind. ” This contradiction at the heart of everyday life was what he wanted to depict. His design of characters and plots, even his sentences, develop continuously into further complexity as they discover the tensions and self-betrayal inherent in middle class optimism. “Discover” is the key term: Howells wrote in order to find out the truth about ordinary life, and the more he discovered the more his novels tended toward disjunction. In resisting the urge to reaffirm middle class morals, he was having not only a political argument with the dominant ideology of late-nineteenth century America but a formal argument with the conventional novel. Down the critical years, Howells’s trust in the novel form to do its own work has been difficult to see because his way of demonstrating it was so unusual. To the extent that his form was un-transcendent, descriptive rather than theoretical, it has been unapparent. My dissertation is an attempt to make evident and describe the working of Howells’s unapparent form. I have used a method of analysis congruent with his practice. I proceed as he wrote, historically, by following the unfolding events of his style and form.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Brian Seto McGrat
Numerical Study of Tidal Water Mass Exchange in Ikara-seto
No full textA control volume based up-wind finite element method was applied to the two-dimensional tidal flow in Ariake Sea and Yatsushiro Sea. Water mass exchange in Ikara-seto located south-west of Yatsushiro Sea was investigated by pursuing the fictitious water particles as well as estimating the inflow and outflow water masses through boundaries. The main results are as follows : i) From Euler's point of view, water mass flows into Ikara-seto from Yatsushiro Sea and flows out to Nagashima Strait ; 86.5% (13.5%) of water mass flows out from the north (north-west) boundary, ii) From Lagrange's point of view, fictitious water particles flow out from the north and north-west boundaries. 66.1% (21.9%) of water particles flow out within 1 period when particles are thrown into the sea at low tide (high tide), iii) After 4 periods, most part of the water particles flow out from Ikara-seto. However, the water particles in Ikara Bay still remain
Chemical composition of pond waters on the ilands located in the Seto Inland Sea
No full textFreshwater ponds are found on a number of islands located in the Seto Inland Sea. The author made observation of the chemical properties of pond water at some of the ponds located on the islands in the western part of the Seto Inland Sea. The primary purpose of this survey was to know the effect of the "sea breeze" from the chlorine contents of pond water. Some of the surveyed ponds were utilized for irrigation. Almost all the surveyed ponds were relatively shallow, and dissolved oxygen was poor in the bottom layer. Chlorine contents were considerably lower than expected. Other chemical compositions and their contents in each pond were not extraordinary; they were of the same order as the average values reported by Dr. S. YOSHIMURA for the lake waters of Japan. The results of the observation and water analysis are shown in Table I.
It seemed that all the surveyed ponds could be utilized for the culture of freshwater fishes
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES ON THE TIDAL MIXING IN SETO INLAND SEA (I)
No full textThe mechanism of the tidal mixing and its effect on the tidal flushing in Seto Inland Sea arestudied with use of a small hydraulic model, of which the horizontal and vertical scales are 1100000and 1/1000 respectively.The tidal residual circulations near the straits and within the bays are most effective on thehorizontal mixing of large scale.There are some regions, where the tidal residue is much smaller, in the midst of Hiuchi-Nada, Iyo-Nada and so on, where the diffusion is so weak that the matter released in the Bisan-Seto Straitshardly reach westwards beyond there.The mechanism of the tidal mixing and its effect on the tidal flushing in Seto Inland Sea arestudied with use of a small hydraulic model, of which the horizontal and vertical scales are 1 / 100000and 1/1000 respectively.The tidal residual circulations near the straits and within the bays are most effective on thehorizontal mixing of large scale.There are some regions, where the tidal residue is much smaller, in the midst of Hiuchi-Nada,Iyo-Nada and so on, where the diffusion is so weak that the matter released in the Bisan-Seto Straitshardly reach westwards beyond there
