Social Metadata for Libraries, Archives and Museums. Part 3: Recommendations and Readings
Get PDFRecommendations on social metadata features most relevant to libraries, archives, and museums and an annotated reading list of the literature the research group consulted during our research. We believe it is riskier to do nothing and become irrelevant to our user communities than to start using social media features
気弱なパーティ参加者のためのコミュニケーション機会形成支援メディア
Get PDF各種パーティにおいて，「同じ相手との会話を終えられず，他の人々と会話ができない」，「自分から話しかけることができない」などの問題を抱えた気弱な参加者を対象として，会話を希望する相手に対して，その意向を匿名で緩やかに伝えることでコミュニケーションの機会形成を支援するメディア ShyQueue を構築した．中規模のパーティを想定した運用実験によって，本システムの基本的有効性を確認した． : In various parties, there are often timid participants who cannot talk to someone with whom they want to talk and who cannot change conversation partners because they cannot finish current conversations. To support such timid people, in this paper, we propose a communication opportunity formation media named “ShyQueue,” which allows a timid participant to anonymously convey his/her intentions that he/she wants to talk with you. We hosted a party with tens of participants and tried ShyQueue at this party. As a result, we confirmed basic effectiveness of ShyQueue
昆虫食・昆虫料理をめぐる心理的要因の検討に向けて
No full textOne of the authors, S.Uchiyama, who is conducting bug-eating meetings for several years, has a naive question about the psychological factors why the participants in his meetings are interested in bug-eating. In Section 1, Uchiyama points out the importance of bug-eating and of its popularization.
He explains that insects are rich in nutrition and many are even more nutritionally balanced than meat or fish. In Section 2, the first author, Yoshimura, introduces a psychological study to catch the difference of the attitudes and the senses to the bug-eating between the participants in Uchiyama’s meetings and the general public who have not yet participated in the meetings. Among the conceivable methods, a principal component analysis is used in the present research. Different from the general public, the attitudes and the senses of the participants can not be put into one major component. Yoshimura discusses that the participants in the meetings have multi-phasic attitudes and senses to the bug-eating
A Prospect of Sail-Assisted Fishing Boats
Get PDFShips are potentially suitable for using wind energy. Almost every ship before the 19th century had been using only the wind power by classic sails, and supporting the worldwide trades and logistics in those days. In 1980’s after the last oil crises, many kind of modern sail-assisted ships were developed. Now, they will be hoped to become one of the best solution against the increasing CO2 discharge. In this paper, the author tries to review the past sail assisted-ships, and investigate into the prospect of the sail-assisted ships especially focusing to the fishing boat in future.Proceedings of International Commemorative Symposium - 70th Anniversary of the Japanese Society of Fisheries Science, October 1-5, 2001, Yokohama (日本水産学会創立70周年記念国際シンポジウム「新世紀における水産・海洋科学の展望」, 2001年10月1日-5日, パシフィコ横浜)
Continuous assay of protein tyrosine phosphatases based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer
Get PDFAn assay method that continuously measures the protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP)-catalyzed dephosphorylation reaction based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) was developed as an improvement of our previously reported discontinuous version [M. Nishikata, K. Suzuki, Y. Yoshimura, Y. Deyama, A. Matsumoto, Biochem. J. 343 (1999) 385-391]. The assay uses oligopeptide substrates that contain Mca [(7-methoxycoumarin-4-yl)acetyl] group as a fluorescence donor and DNP (2,4-dinitrophenyl) group as a fluorescence acceptor, in addition to a phosphotyrosine residue located between these two groups. In the assay, a PTP solution is added to a buffer solution containing a FRET substrate and chymotrypsin. The PTP-catalyzed dephosphorylation of the substrate and subsequent chymotryptic cleavage of the dephosphorylated substrate results in a disruption of FRET, thereby increasing Mca fluorescence. In this study, we used FRET substrates that are much more susceptible to chymotryptic cleavage after dephosphorylation than the substrate used in our discontinuous assay, thus enabling the continuous assay without significant PTP inactivation by chymotrypsin. The rate of fluorescence increase strictly reflected the rate of dephosphorylation at appropriate chymotrypsin concentrations. Since the continuous assay allows the measurement of initial rate of dephosphorylation reaction, kinetic parameters for the dephosphorylation reactions of a FRET substrate by Yersinia, T-cell and LAR PTPs were determined. The continuous assay was compatible with the measurement of very low PTP activity in a crude enzyme preparation and was comparable in sensitivity to assays that use radiolabeled substrates

No full textClinical Psychiatric Study of Psychogenic Pain
No full textIn the present study, the author examined clinical psychiatric characteristics in 26 patients who were diagnosed as having Pain Disorder, according to the 4th edition of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV). The subjects were 7 males and 19 females. At the onset of pain, the mean age of the patients was 38.8 years. The most common site of pain was the head, followed by the back, arm, and shoulders. In 18 of the 26 patients, there was no evidence of pathological history at the sites where pain was experienced. The accompanying symptoms were insomnia, anxiety, decrease in appetite, analgesic dependence, depressed mood, and astasia-abasia. The author found that various defense mechanisms were acting in their psychological background and that their whole personality was involved in the occurrence of agony. A physician is required to use pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy, or situational therapy depending upon patients' conditions and defense mechanisms
North East Japan 〜 mid-Pacific Ocean Earthquake and Tsunami Hazard
Get PDFThe quake killed nearly 20 thousand people that amounted to the 3-rd largest number of victims since the Meiji Era. The Sanriku district had been suffered many times by tsunami disaster.Non-fiction writer A. Yoshimura already researched precisely past 3 big tsunami hazards in Sanriku. He also inspected the hazard caused by Kanto Earthquake,which gave the worst record of the victims. The author introduces these works by A. Yoshimura and considers the hazard of this time and the difficulties of refuge from the catastrophedepartmental bulletin pape
Transitioning to the next generation of metadata: maximising the discoverability and use of digital resources
No full textThe recently published OCLC Research report 'Transitioning to the Next Generation of Metadata' synthesizes six years (2015-2020) of OCLC Research Library Partners Metadata Managers Focus Group discussions and what they may foretell for the 'next generation of metadata'. The firm belief that metadata underlies all discovery regardless of format, now and in the future, permeates all Focus Group discussions. Yet metadata is changing. Innovations in librarianship are exerting pressure on metadata management practices to evolve as librarians are required to provide metadata for far more resources of various types and to collaborate on institutional or multi-institutional projects with fewer staff. OCLC Research Senior Program Officer Karen Smith-Yoshimura, the author of the report, will be co-presenting with Helen Williams, Metadata Manager at LSE and a Focus Group member. Karen will highlight some of the trends covered in the report with Helen focusing on the UK context: • The Transition to Linked Data and Identifiers • Describing “Inside-Out” and “Facilitated” Collections • Evolution of “Metadata as a Service” • Preparing for Future Staffing Requirement
