'Sensaround' (Spence/MacDonald/Ahmad) Japan tour concert, with special guests Satoko Fujii (piano) and Natsuki Tamura (trumpet)
No full textThis performance took place as part of a tour by 'Sensaround' in Japan in 2016. Spence/MacDonald and Ahmad are committed to exploring how contingency acts on collective improvisation and real-time composition to produce surprising, unpremeditated and effective results. This includes new as well as established and intercultural collaborations, as occurred at Guggenheim House with well known Japanese composers and improvisersr, Satoko Fujii and Natsuki Tamura. The research area matches with Spence's investigation of the Experimental Composition Improvisation Continuum which explores contemporary extensions of the historical Experimental Music Movement and reconciled with Jazz through the writings of Nyman, Lewis, Bailey, Morris etc

[In Japanese]. Item from: George Naohara scrapbook: Korean War and before leaving Japan (csudh_nao_0600).The George and Mitzi Naohara Papers consists of photo albums and scrapbooks compiled by George and Mitzi Naohara, and other documents pertaining to the Naohara and Masukawa family. Contained are photographs, correspondence, documents, and memorabilia depicting their experiences during World War II. George Nobuo Naohara is a Kibei Nisei, and his experiences include his farm labor in Idaho and Utah, incarceration in the Manzanar, Jerome, and Tule Lake camps, and the U.S. Army language school training and Korean War. He also engaged in Buddhist activities for his whole life and there are moving images depicting Gardena Buddhist Church activities after the war. Mitzi Masukawa Naohara was a preschool teacher at the Poston camp, Arizona, and also a member of a young Nisei women's club, "Sigma Debs.” Her collected materials depict her life as a teacher and social events in the Poston camp during the war

A Multi-Language Comparison of Influences on Author Verification using Character N-Grams
No full textWe create a new multi-language corpus for author verification based on Wikipedia talkpages, and evaluate the influence that differences in topic and time have on character n-gram author profiles. Topic alignment between two texts is found to increase author verification precision, and an authors writing style is found to change over time, but not more significantly after 3 years than after 1 year.Information ArchitectureWISElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
Subcortical representation of voice onset time (Tamura et al., 2019)
No full textPurpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether speech perception would reflect small latency changes in subcortical speech representation.Method: Twelve native Japanese listeners participated in the experiment. Those listeners participated in speech identification task and auditory brainstem response (ABR) measurement using /d/–/t/ continuum stimuli varying in voice onset time (VOT) with manipulation of the amplitude of initial noise (consonant) portion, the duration of which corresponded to VOT.Results: Increasing the noise portion amplitude lengthened subcortical representation of VOT, which is the latency difference between ABRs synchronizing to the onsets of initial noise and following periodic (vowel) portions (VOTABR) and made listeners likely to perceive the stimuli with ambiguous VOT as a voiceless stop /t/. In addition, the amount of VOTABR lengthening was close to that of the VOT boundary shortening.Conclusion: A few milliseconds of difference in subcortical speech representation are important for the perception of speech sounds with ambiguous acoustic cues.Supplemental Materials S1–S14.

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Streptomyces krungchingensis Sripreechasak & Phongsopitanun & Tamura & Tanasupawat 2017, SP. NOV.
No full textDESCRIPTION OF STREPTOMYCES KRUNGCHINGENSIS SP. NOV. Streptomyces krungchingensis (krung.ching.en′ sis. N.L. masc. adj. krungchingensis pertaining to Krung Ching Waterfall National Park in Nakhon Si Thammarat Province of Thailand, where the type strain was isolated). Aerobic, mesophilic, filamentous, Gram-stain-positive actinomycete that produces extensively branched substrate and aerial mycelia. Flexuous spore chains are observed on aerial mycelia. The spore surface is smooth. White to light-greenish grey aerial mass is produced on ISP2, ISP3, ISP4 and nutrient agar but absent on ISP5, ISP6 and ISP7 media. The substrate mycelia appear greyish yellow on ISP2, ISP7 and nutrient agar, light olive brown on ISP3 and ISP4, brilliant yellow on ISP5 and greyish olive green on ISP6. Yellow to brown pigment is observed on most tested media except ISP5. Reduces nitrate to nitrite and hydrolyses starch but does not hydrolyse milk. Liquefaction of gelatin is weakly positive. Utilizes cellobiose, fructose, myo -inositol, D- mannitol, D- mannose, raffinose, ribose and sucrose as sole carbon sources, weakly utilizes salicin and D- xylose but does not utilize L- arabinose, cellulose, melezitose or D- sorbitol. Shows enzyme activities of acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, esterase (C4), b-galactosidase, leucine arylamidase and N -acetyl-b- glucosaminidase, shows weak activities of esterase lipase (C8), b- glucosidase, naphthol-AS-BI-phosphohydrolase and valine arylamidase but does not show activities of a- chymotrypsin, cystine arylamidase, a- fucosidase, a- galactosidase, a- glucosidase, b- glucuronidase, lipase (C14), a- mannosidase or trypsin. Growth occurs at pH 5–9, at 15–37 Ǫ C and with 0–6 % (w/ v) NaCl. The cell-wall peptidoglycan contains LL- diaminopimelic acid. Ribose and glucose are observed as whole-cell sugars. The menaquinones are MK-9(H 8), MK-9(H 6) and MK-9 (H 4). The N -acyl type of muramic acid is acetyl. Phospholipids are diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol mannoside, two unknown lipids and an unidentified aminolipid. The major cellular fatty acids are anteiso-C 15: 0, C 16: 0, iso-C 16: 0, iso-C 15: 0 and iso-C 14: 0. The type strain, KC-035 T (= NBRC 110087 T = KCTC 29 503 T = TISTR 2402 T), was isolated from soil collected from Krung Ching Waterfall National Park, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, Thailand. The DNA G+C content of the type strain is 72 mol%.Published as part of Sripreechasak, Paranee, Phongsopitanun, Wongsakorn, Tamura, Tomohiko & Tanasupawat, Somboon, 2017, Streptomyces krungchingensis sp. nov., isolated from soil, pp. 50-54 in International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology 67 (1) on page 53, DOI: 10.1099/ijsem.0.001570, http://zenodo.org/record/604838
