Design of ZrO 2/Ti functionally graded thermal barrier coatings based on a nonlinear micromechanical approach
No full textThis study presents a design process of ZrO /Ti functionally graded thermal barrier coatings (FG TBCs) based on a mean-field nonlinear micromechanical approach developed by Tsukamoto [1], which takes into account the time-independent and dependent inelastic deformation, such as plasticity of metals, creep of metals and ceramics, and diffusional mass flow at the ceramic/metal interface. The effect of compositional gradations on micro-stress states in the FG TBCs has been examined. The suitable compositional gradations have been proposed for typical thermo-mechanical boundary conditions in terms of thermal-stress relaxations, thermal-shielding and light-weight characteristics

Excerpt from Tulean dispatch: Planning Board proposed
No full textExcerpt of article titled "Planning Board Proposed" by Yoshimi Shibata, Councilman Block 47, published in the Tulean Dispatch on September 22, 1942. The article proposes the formation of a planning board to advise the War Relocation Authority on administration of the Tule Lake 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
Le regard urbain fondu dans les médias
No full textExtrait de Géopolitique de la ville visuelle – la modernité comme regard, que le sociologue Yoshimi Shunya a fait paraître en 2015. Sous le patronage notamment de Michel Foucault et de Jonathan Crary, Yoshimi y décrit, non pas les éléments qui auraient présidé à la reconfiguration moderne du regard, mais la manière dont la modernité serait advenue dans les villes comme autant d’expériences et de structures collectives fondamentalement innervées par les questions de distribution, d’organisation et de disciplinarisation des regards. À ce titre, l’objectif est de rendre compte d’un véritable retournement épistémologique : ou comment la ville aurait cessé de répondre de logiques architecturales, pour se conformer désormais à des exigences iconiques et médiatiques.吉見俊哉著『視覚都市の地政学』の抜粋。ミシェル・フーコーやジョナサン・クラリーの思想を受け継いで、吉見俊哉は視線の構造の近代的変容ではなく、むしろ都市における近代の経験はどのようにまなざしという経験（つまりまなざしの再構成、再配布、規律化）に貫かれてきたか、という問いかけに基づき都市の再編成を考察する。この意味において本論考が目指すのは認識論的な転回である。つまり、いかにして都市が建築のロジックに従うことをやめて図像的な要請やメディアの要求に順応するかを明らかにするのだ。This paper is an extract from Geopolitics of the Visual City (2015), published in Japanese by the sociologist Yoshimi Shunya, in which the author draws on the work of Michel Foucault and Jonathan Crary to explore not how people’s gaze has been reconstructed in modern times, but how the reorganisation, redistribution and disciplining of the gaze fundamentally informs the way modernity is experienced in cities. The aim is to document a veritable epistemological change: namely, that the city has ceased being driven by architectural principles and now conforms to the demands of visual media
Effects of Participatory and Physical Life Goals in a Preventive Care Program for Frail Community-Dwelling Older People: A Retrospective Cohort Study
No full textAbstract
Date Presented 3/31/2017
Life goals related to activities and participation had a more positive effect on frail older people’s health and quality of life than did life goals related to physical function and structure. The setting of meaningful goals may help to improve the effectiveness of preventive care programs.

No full textSaeko Kuwahara-Ota, Yoshiaki Chinen, Yoshimi Mizuno, Tomoko Takimoto-Shimomura, Yayoi Matsumura-Kimoto, Kazuna Tanba, Taku Tsukamoto, Shinsuke Mizutani, Yuji Shimura, Tsutomu Kobayashi, Shigeo Horiike, Junya Kuroda Department of Medicine, Division of Hematology and Oncology, Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine, Kyoto, Japan Abstract: Primary infection with human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) commonly occurs at an early age in children, most often at 3 years of age, and is associated with childhood diseases, such as exanthema subitum, hepatitis, febrile convulsions, or encephalitis. However, the virus occasionally reactivates from its latent state in immunosuppressed adults, especially posttransplant, resulting in serious disseminated, sometimes life-threatening end-organ complications. Herein, we report a case of a 68-year-old man with relapsed follicular lymphoma who developed HHV-6 pneumonitis. Eighteen months after achieving second complete remission by salvage immunochemotherapy with rituximab, the patient was complicated by pneumonia, with chest computed tomography finding showing disseminated nodular shadows with ground-glass opacity in both lungs. While empiric antibiotic and antifungal therapies did not improve the pneumonia, polymerase chain reaction–based viral screening tests on his bronchoalveolar lavage fluid detected the presence of HHV-6 DNA, and ganciclovir treatment quickly resolved the pneumonia, indicating that he suffered from HHV-6 pneumonitis. He had no other HHV-6–related end-organ damage, such as encephalitis. This case suggests that, although extremely rare, HHV-6 reactivation should be considered as one of the candidate pathogens for pulmonary complications of uncertain etiology in patients who have been treated with intensive immunosuppressive chemotherapy, even without hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Furthermore, polymerase chain reaction–based viral screening testing on bronchoalveolar lavage fluid is a powerful diagnostic tool for pneumonitis due to viral reactivation, including HHV-6 reactivation. Keywords: human herpesvirus-6, pneumonitis, viral reactivation, lymphom
