Performance Prediction of the Rotational Wave Energy Converter Using Single-Bucket Drag Type Turbine
No full textBecause ocean wave propagates along water surface, wave energy resource is measured in the unit of line density (kW/m). It indicates that the output of a Wave Energy Converter (WEC) is proportional to its wave front width when we consider the scaling-up of the device. It will be a problem in the commercialization of a scaled-up WEC because the cost of device increases with size in a higher pace. With the above consideration, the authors proposed a rotary type wave energy converter. It is a drag type vertical axis water turbine with its rotational axis lying horizontally on the water surface and in parallel to the wave front. To capture the orbital fluid particle motion in wave, the turbine is composed of a bucket and a streamlined counter weight. The device can be linearly extended in the direction parallel to the wave front to obtain the merits of scale. The WEC does not have massive components because the reaction torque of electric generation can be absorbed by a relatively small float system. This paper provides the numerical test of the device in deep water wave condition. The dependencies of the output to the wave height and the submergence of the rotational axis are checked by the two-dimensional flow simulation

HASTE DE LÍRIOS, DE KENJI MIYAZAWA
No full textThe present work is a translation from Japanese to Brazilian Portuguese of the Yomata no Yuri (Stem of Lillies) tale written by the Japanese author Kenji Miyazawa (1893-1933). Miyazawa was an essayist, poet and writer of Japanese children's tales. Even though his work is not so popular in Brazil, in Japan it has achieved much notoriety. He is considered one of the most relevant writers in both prose and poetry. Miyazawa was born in Iwate and graduated in Agricultural Sciences. He was also a professor and dedicated himself fundamentally to the writing career. His work is notably influenced by Nichiren Buddhism, which can be seen in the following work. This translation aims at presenting to the Brazilian public an example of the Kenji’s literature, considering the cultural relevance of his work and the importance for understanding the Japanese way of thinking.O presente trabalho é uma tradução para o português do Brasil do conto Yomata no Yuri (Haste de Lírios) do autor japonês Kenji Miyazawa (1893 – 1933). Miyazawa foi ensaísta, poeta e escritor de contos japoneses infantis. Embora a obra dele não seja tão conhecida no Brasil, no Japão ela alcançou bastante notoriedade, podendo ser considerado um dos escritores mais relevantes tanto na prosa, quanto na poesia. Miyazawa nasceu na prefeitura de Iwate, graduou-se em Ciências da Agricultura, foi professor universitário e dedicou-se fundamentalmente à carreira de escritor. Sua obra apresenta forte influência do Budismo Nichiren, como pode ser visto pela leitura do conto a seguir. Esta tradução visa a apresentar ao público brasileiro um exemplo da literatura de Kenji, tendo em vista a riqueza cultural de seu trabalho, bem como relevância para o entendimento do pensamento japonês

Miyazawa Kenji and a Tale of “Kanji”
No full textMiyazawa Kenji (1896-1933), a poet and author of children’s stories, spent much of his life laboring to improve the material and spiritual lives peasants in the impoverished farming communities of Iwate Prefecture. He received little notice during his lifetime, but since the Second World War the sincerity of his work, reflecting a life of spiritual struggle, has attracted growing attention. In this paper we examine relationship between kanji and Miyazawa Kenji and the meaning of kanji for him referring some works including Otsuberu to Zou (1926, literally Otsuberu and the Elephant) and Kaze no Matasaburō (1934, literally Matasaburō of the Wind)
A Will from Miyazawa Kenji : Journey to the West, the Monkey King, and Dayu
No full textMiyazawa Kenji (1896-1933) is a well-known author of children\u27s literature from and poet. He created many children\u27s literature and poet applying with his inexhaustible imagination. At the same time he often applied his rich culture for Chinese classics including not only the Four Books and Five Classics of Confucianism but also popular novel like Journey to the West to his works. In this paper we examined Miyazawa Kenji\u27s works and discussed meanings of Chinese classics for Miyazawa Kenji

Due to Executive Order 9066 in 1942, the studio was forced to close but was reopened by Kinso and his son, Elwin Ichiro, in 1949. The studio operated in Little Tokyo until its final closing in 1986. The Ninomiya Studio Collection captures slices of Japanese American life in Los Angeles from the 1950s through the 1980s. The collection contains formal portraiture and candid photography in black and white and color as well as commercial photography for local businesses and reproductions of older photographs. The negatives come in a variety of sizes, including 8 x 10 inch negatives and panoramic negatives on Cirkut film. Each negative scanned has been selected out of multiple negatives and prints from a set. The title of the negative scan reflects the purchaser’s name
