Kitano Honji E with Ink Drawings
No full textKitano Honji E (Illustrated Story of Kitano Shrine) with ink drawings was cut into segments after World War II. The present paper discusses its text and illustrations based on the form before the division. By comparing this version of Illustrated Story of Kitano Shrine with other versions, the author presumes that its archetype belonged to the lineage known as Kōrui and was made later than the Shōkyū Version, around the time when the lineage known as Otsurui branched off, and that it is later than the Shōka Version (1258) of Heirui lineage and earlier than the Tsuda Version (1298) of Otsurui. The painting style indicates that it is a work of the late thirteenth century. The corresponding portions of this version and the Metropolitan Museum Version have common contents and it means that they belong to the same lineage. It also has similarities to the Egara Version of Kōrui suggesting the existence of a common ancestor. Perhaps the same can be said of the illustrations. The mode of the drawings is not of so-called onnae type. The author interprets that it is not a completed work but an unfinished piece to be coloured.journal articl
Large-eddy simulation of combustion instability in a back-step flow
No full textA large-eddy simulation of combustion instability in a back-step flow is performed, and the effect of equivalent ratio on the combustion instability is investigated. Methane is used as the fuel and a two-step global reaction model is used for the reaction. As the turbulent combustion model, a dynamic thickened flame model is used. The results show that flame is stably formed behind the step by the recirculation flow. Large pressure oscillation and periodical change of flame shape are observed in the case of equivalent ratio of 1.0, and the power spectra of the pressure oscillation has peaks whose frequencies and ntensities well agree with those of the previous experimental study. The intensity of the pressure oscillation becomes much smaller in the cases of equivalent ratio of 0.8 and 1.3, and the change of flame shape also becomes smaller

No full textThis book, based on the author's Kyoto University dissertation, describes a system able to translate spoken Japanese to spoken English in real time. For this work, as the back cover notes, Kitano was awarded IJCAI's Computers and Thought Award in 1993, and it is not hard to guess what impressed the award committee. This work not only incorporates many of the key ideas of artificial intelligence--including paral-lel search algorithms, memory-based reasoning, plan recognition, and meaning-based parsing--it brims with excitement, with statements like "the basic approach taken in traditional [machine translation] systems faces a serious dead-end, and needs a dra-matically different paradigm " (p. 35) and "the ideas grown out of this work lead me to propose massively parallel artificial intelligence, which is now being recognized as a distinct research field " (p. xvi). This review will first discuss the basic idea of the system, then the book itself, and finally the research strategy. The most significant contribution of the work, according to Kitano, is that it "demonstrated that real-time spoken language translation at the order of millisec

No full textThis paper aims to explore if and when Article 98 Agreements restrain the ICC’s activities by fully analysing their consistency with the Rome Statute and the related issues of the law of treaties. Moreover, the findings of this analysis can apply, mutatis mutandis, to extradition treaties and status of forces agreements (SOFAs), which were explicitly mentioned in the drafting process of Article 98, paragraph 2, of the Statute. In light of the fact that extradition treaties and SOFAs are quite common, it can be said that this paragraph could have a significant impact on the ICC’s future activities. The table of contents included in this part 3 is as follows: Chapter 3 Analysis of Article 98 Agreements’ Consistency with the Statute and the Related Issues of the Law of Treaties (Continued) (Section 2 Article 98 Agreements’ Consistency with the Statute (1. Interpretation of Article 98, Paragraph 2, of the Statute ((A) Meaning of the Term “surrender” / (B) Meaning of the Term “the requested State” / (C) Meaning of the Phrase “its obligations under international agreements”)))
