Review Of The Architecture Of Yoshio Taniguchi By Y. Taniguchi
No full textThis is an exceptionally beautiful book worthy of its author and subject, Japanese architect Yoshio Taniguchi, recently selected to design the renovation and expansion of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, his first major work abroad. Architecture, addressing the visitor, may be loquacious, or else declamatory, or even histrionically assertive. Taniguchi\u27s architecture is singularly courteous; it speaks softly, surely, and sensitively. Trained in engineering in Tokyo and subsequently in architecture at Harvard, he puts structural sophistication to the service of his poetry of shifting spaces and subtle lighting that is distinctly Japanese. In visual experience, going through his building resembles a stroll in a Japanese garden; but he accomplishes this without undermining functional logic. The book presents his 17 works, two from the 1970s, five from the 1980s, and ten from this decade, each exquisitely illustrated and accompanied by the architect\u27s succinct but informative commentary. Seven of them are art museums, and the MOMA project is showcased with analytical notes and plans. Fumihiko Maki, the architect\u27s senior, contributed a thoughtful critical essay that articulates with precision the sources of Taniguchi\u27s architectural aesthetics. In this modest autobiography, Taniguchi reflects on his career as a learning process. Recommended for all libraries. General readers; undergraduates through professionals

Fundamental Study of the Fill-in Minimization Problem
No full textIn this paper the fill-in minimization problem which arises
at the application of the sparse matrix method for a large sparse set of linear equations is discussed from the graph-theoretic viewpoint and also through the numerical experiments. Therefore, this investigation consists of two parts, and in the former part the author shows, at first, that the elimination process of a sparse matrix is equivalently replaced to the vertex eliminations for a graph obtained from the matrix, and by use of some concepts
in the theory of graph he proves that the vertex elimination process for the minimum fill-in is equivalent to the vertex eliminations for vertices in each subgraph which is obtained by the appropriate dissection of whole graph, and that there are only two types of vertex eliminations through the process. This results in the proposal of a new model of the vertex elimination process. The latter part of this investigation is used for the verification of the results from the theoretic investigation. Through the numerical experiments he concludes that the new model of the vertex elimination process is valid, at least, for a graph like a regular finite element mesh. Furthermore, he shows that this model coincides with Nested Dissection Method which can give the minimum value of fill-in, at present

Castle Valley, America: hard land, hard-won home
No full textIncludes bibliographical references and index.This is American history told through the stories of an atypical, for Utah, region. Castle Valley is roughly conterminous with two counties, Carbon and Emery, which together formed a rural, industrial enclave in a mostly desert environment behind the mountain range that borders Utah's principal corridor of settlement. In Castle Valley, coal mining and the railroad attracted diverse, multiethnic communities and a fair share of historic characters, from Butch Cassidy, who stole its largest payroll, to Mother Jones, who helped organize its workers against its mining companies. Among the last major segments of the state to be settled, it was also a generally poor region that stretched the capabilities of people to scratch a living from a harsh landscape. The people of Castle Valley experienced complex, unusual combinations of both social cohesion and conflict, but they struggled through poverty, labor disputes, major mining disasters, and other challenges to build communities whose stories reflected the historical course of the nation as a whole. In order to convey her subject's both unique and representative qualities, Nancy Taniguchi has written an epic history that is not just local history, but American history written locally. Nancy J. Taniguchi, who lived for thirteen years in Castle Valley and was previously on the faculty of the College of Eastern Utah in Price, is professor of history at California State University, Stanislaus. She is the author of numerous published articles in mining, legal, women's, western, and Utah history and of one book, Necessary Fraud: Progressive Reform and Utah Coal
