Emission from a bismuth doped chalcogenide glass spanning from 1µm to 2.7µm
No full textWe report emission from a bismuth doped chalcogenide glass with a full width half maximum of 850 nm. The quantum efficiency and lifetime were 32% and 175 µs. We report two new bismuth emission bands at 2000 and 2600 nm
Selected Works of D. T. Suzuki, Volume IV Buddhist Studies
No full textDaisetsu Teitar?¯ Suzuki was a key figure in the introduction of Buddhism to the non-Asian world. Many outside Japan encountered Buddhism for the first time through his writings and teaching, and for nearly a century his work and legacy have contributed to the ongoing religious and cultural interchange between Japan and the rest of the world, particularly the United States and Europe. This fourth volume of Selected Works of D. T. Suzuki brings together a range of Suzuki's writings in the area of Buddhist studies. Based on his text-critical work in the Chinese canon, these essays reflect his commitment to clarifying Mahayana Buddhist doctrines in Indian, Chinese, and Japanese historical contexts. Many of these innovative writings reflect Buddhological discourse in contemporary Japan and the West's pre-war ignorance of Mahayana thought. Included is a translation into English for the first time of his "Mahayana Was Not Preached by Buddha." In addition to editing the essays and contributing the translation, Mark L. Blum presents an introduction that examines how Suzuki understood Mahayana discourse via Chinese sources and analyzes his problematic use of Sanskri

Introduction: Living Politics-Social Alternatives to the Crisis of Democracy
No full textWhat is politics? Morris-Suzuki and Wei respond to this fundamental but challenging question by arguing that understandings of “the political” have become narrowly constricted, limiting our ability to conceive of the full range of ways in which people act politically in the contemporary world. The notion of “living politics” creates a new space for exploring a range of significant grassroots forms of action which have long been ignored by political and social analysts, but which are having a quiet but profound impact in East Asia today. Morris-Suzuki and Wei identify improvisation, imagination, small scale, and non-violence as key features of the case studies to be explored in the volume, and set the scene for the concept essays and case study chapters to follow

The cytoplasmic peptide:N-glycanase: a deglycosylating enzyme with a transglutaminase domain. Yokohama, 11-15 Dec. 2007
No full textPeptide:N-glycanase (PNGase) releases N-glycans from glycoproteins/glycopeptides, and this enzyme from bacteria and plants has been extensively used as a powerful “tool” reagent to study structure and biological functions of N-linked glycans on glycoproteins. The cytoplasmic PNGases (Png1p in yeast (1)), ubiquitously found throughout eukaryotes, are now widely recognized as a component implicated in the ERAD (ER-associated degradation) process, which constitute one of the quality control machineries for newly synthesized misfolded glycoproteins exported out of the ER lumen.
Structurally, this enzyme is classified as “transglutaminase-super family” that contains a putative catalytic triad of amino acids (cysteine, histidine, and aspartic acid) (2). Interestingly, recent studies identified plant orthologue of the Png1 protein (AtPng1p) as transglutaminase, although these enzymes catalyzes totally different reaction (3). More recently, we have carbohydrate binding domain, which is presumable important for substrate recognition, through molecular modeling (4), Interestingly, critical residues predicted to be involved in carbohydrate binding is perfectly conserved in AtPng1p. In this study we have made several chimera proteins between AtPng1p and ScPng1p, and enzyme activities or carbohydrate-binding activity of these hybrid protreins are examined. Possible importance of amino acid replacement for conversion of these two enzyme activities will be discussed.
