We consider here several properties of phonological stress systems, including the midpoint pathology, an unattested pattern in which stress is confined to a word-medial syllable in short words but reverts to an edge-based window in longer words. Previous attempts have been made to rule out midpoint systems by eliminating the phonological constraints that yield them, or by alluding to difficulties in learning them. We suggest that a preference for representing word edges in memory and limits on subitization—evolutionarily older “fossil” abilities which are neither specific to humans nor to language—are sufficient to rule out the midpoint pathology. We take the same approach to motivate accentual window size and some left-right asymmetries observed in the typology of attested stress systems. This approach highlights the relevance of descent in accounting for human cognition, as well as the benefits that evolutionary thinking can bring to the study of language.

Karyotypes are described in Hemiechinus auritus and Paraechinus aethiopicus which have 48 chromosomes in 2n. The male complement of H. auritus consists of 43 macro- and 5 micro-chromosomes while that of the female comprises 44 macro- and 4-micro-chromosomes. The X chromosome is the smallest metacentric macro-chromosome, while the Y is a small subtelocentric micro-chromosome. These associate end-to-end at meiosis I.The male karyotype of P. aethiopicus consists of 44 macro- and 4 micro-chromosomes. The autosomes are metacentrics or submetacentrics in morphology. The sex-complex is characterized by the medium-sized X chromosome and the mediumsized submetacentric Y.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetic disorder that is characterized by hypertrophy of the myocardium. Some of the patients are diagnosed for HCM during infancy, and the prognosis of infantile HCM is worse than general HCM. Nevertheless, pathophysiology of infantile HCM is less investigated and remains largely unknown. In the present study, we generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from two patients with infantile HCM: one with Noonan syndrome and the other with idiopathic HCM. We found that iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs) from idiopathic HCM patient were significantly larger and showed higher diastolic intracellular calcium concentration compared with the iPSC-CMs from healthy subject. Unlike iPSC-CMs from the adult/adolescent HCM patient, arrhythmia was not observed as a disease-related phenotype in iPSC-CMs from idiopathic infantile HCM patient. Phenotypic screening revealed that Pyr3, a transient receptor potential channel 3 channel inhibitor, decreased both the cell size and diastolic intracellular calcium concentration in iPSC-CMs from both Noonan syndrome and idiopathic infantile HCM patients, suggesting that the target of Pyr3 may play a role in the pathogenesis of infantile HCM, regardless of the etiology. Further research may unveil the possibility of Pyr3 or its derivatives in the treatment of infantile HCM.

Sea surface temperature (SST) predictability in the Pacific on decadal timescales is examined in hindcast experiments using the coupled atmosphere-ocean model MIROC with low, medium, and high resolutions. In these hindcast experiments, initial conditions are obtained from an anomaly assimilation procedure using the observed oceanic temperature and salinity while prescribing natural and anthropogenic forcing based on the IPCC concentration scenarios. Our hindcast experiments show the predictability of SST in the western subtropical Pacific, the Indian Ocean, and the tropics to the North Atlantic. Previous studies have examined the SST predictability in the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic, but SST predictability in the western subtropical Pacific has not been evaluated. In the western Pacific, the observed SST anomalies in the subtropics of both hemispheres increased rapidly from the early 1990s to the early 2000s. While this SST warming in the western subtropical Pacific is partly explained by global warming signals, the predictions of our model initialized in 1995 or 1996 tend to simulate the pattern of the SST increase and the associated precipitation changes. This large climate change around the late 1990s may be related to phenomena such as the recent increase in the typhoon frequency in Taiwan and the weakened East Asian monsoon reported by recent studies.

混合法(ミクスト・リーガル・システム、mixed legal system)の方法論に立脚して、信託及び信託類似の制度について、比較法制史的考察を行った。混合法における信託を考察するためには、ローマ法の考察が不可欠であることを基本として、一方では古代ローマ法、古代ギリシア法を、他方では狭義混合法(特に南アフリカ法)、広義混合法(バルカン法)を比較対象として、混合法としての日本法との比較を試みた。特に、信託の公的コントロールにの多様なあり方を抽出し、ローマ法と信託法の伝播diffusionという視点から長期にわたる法の展開の全体像と日本法の位置づけを得ることが出来た。

金沢大学理学部The structure of liquid Sn was studied by neutron scattering experiments in the widest temperature range that was ever performed. Though, on increasing temperature, the existence of the shoulder in the structure factor, S(Q), becomes less clear in the change of the overall shape of the S(Q), the structure related to this shoulder seems to be present even at 1873 K. The first-principle molecular-dynamics ~FPMD! simulation was performed for the first time for liquid Sn by using the cell size of 64 particles. The calculated results well reproduced S(Q) obtained by the neutron experiments. The angle distribution, g(3)(u ,rc), was evaluated for the angle between vectors from centered atom to other two atoms in spheres of cutoff radii rc's. The g(3)(u ,rc) shows that, with the decrease of rc from 0.4 to 0.3 nm, a rather sharp peak around 60 ° disappears and only a broad peak around 100 ° remains; the former peak may be derived from the feature of the closely packed structures and the latter one is close to the tetrahedral angle of 109 °. In addition, the coordination number, n, of liquid Sn counted within the sphere of rc50.3 nm is found to be 2–3 and does not change with the increase of temperature even up to 1873 K. These facts indicate that at least the fragment of the tetrahedral unit may be essentially kept even at 1873 K for liquid Sn. For comparison, the FPMD simulation was performed for the first time also for liquid Pb. No sign of the existence of the tetrahedral structure was observed for liquid Pb. Unfortunately, the self-diffusion coefficients, D's, obtained from this FPMD for liquid Sn do not agree with those obtained by the microgravity experiments though the structure factors, S(Q)'s, are well reproduced. To remove the limitation of the small cell size of the FPMD, the classical molecular-dynamics simulations with a cell size of 2197 particles were performed by incorporating the present experimental structural information of liquid Sn. Obtained D's are in good agreement with the microgravity data.

In an irredundant sum-of-products expression (ISOP), each product is a prime implicant (Pl) and no product can be deleted without changing the function. Among the ISOPs for some function f, a worst ISOP (WSOP) is an ISOP with the largest number of Pls and a minimum ISOP (MSOP) is one with the smallest number. We show a class of functions for which the Minato-Morreale ISOP algorithm produces WSOPs. Since the ratio of the size of the WSOP to the size of the MSOP is arbitrarily large when it, the number of variables, is unbounded, the Minato-Morreale algorithm can produce results that are very far from minimum. We present a class of multiple-output functions whose WSOP size is also much larger than its MSOP size. For a set of benchmark functions, we show the distribution of ISOPs to the number of Pls. Among this set are functions where the MSOPs have almost as many Pls as do the WSOPs. These functions are known to be easy to minimize. Also, there are benchmark functions where the fraction of ISOPs that are MSOPs is small and MSOPs have many fewer Pls than the WSOPs. Such functions are known to be hard to minimize. For one class of functions, we show that the fraction of ISOPs that are MSOPs approaches 0 as n approaches infinity, suggesting that such functions are hard to minimize

Oil vulnerability emerged as a transport policy concern during the period of higher oil prices circa 2003 to 2014. This paper assesses and compares 11 Asian Pacific cities of different size regarding their level of oil vulnerability. A scorecard ranking method is developed, building from more established vulnerability concepts of 'exposure', 'sensitivity' and 'adaptive capacity' based on census data, transport agency datasets and previous international studies. The results show city-states such as Hong Kong and Singapore are the least vulnerable despite their complete reliance on imported oil. Conversely, South-East Asia's growing megacities such as Jakarta, Bangkok and Manila, with increasing motorisation, insufficient public transport supply and lower income levels are likely to be the hardest hit in the event of any oil supply shortfall. Implications of this research include that cities aspiring to be oil-free must curb private motorisation and devote their resources towards public transport.

The ends of eukaryotic linear chromosomes are protected from undesired enzymatic activities by a nucleoprotein complex called the telomere. Expanding evidence indicates that telomeres have central functions in human aging and tumorigenesis. While it is undoubtedly important to follow current advances in telomere biology, it is also fruitful to be well informed in seminal historical studies for a comprehensive understanding of telomere biology, and for the anticipation of future directions. With this in mind, I here summarize the early history of telomere biology and current advances in the field, mostly focusing on mammalian studies relevant to aging and cancer.

千葉県の植木産地では、伝統的な樹芸技術によって多数の造形樹が生産されている。近年、EU諸国における日本庭園ブームや中国における造形樹の需要拡大により、植木の輸出量は拡大傾向にある。ところが、出国時の植物検疫において植木の土壌から規制の対象となる植物寄生性線虫が検出されると、その植木を輸出することができない。さらに、輸出相手国の植物検疫において規制の対象となる植物寄生性線虫が検出されると検疫措置を課せられ、植木の廃棄または返送処分を被る場合もあることから、輸出上の大きな障害になっている。日本の樹木類に寄生する土壌線虫に関して、これまで林業苗畑、森林樹木、花木類を対象とした調査報告があり、庭木樹種ではイヌマキ、イヌツゲにおいて線虫検出記録があるものの、造形樹となる植木を対象とした組織的な調査は行われていない。そこで、植木に寄生する土壌線虫の種類を明らかにするために、千葉県下の植木生産圃場において線虫調査を行った。
