I classified about 600 museum specimens of Père David's vole and examined its distribution. In a restricted area of Burma (25.70-26.13°N, 98.13-98.70°E; Myanmar, Area V), 150 individual specimens sampled during the same period could be classified into two groups on the basis of the relationship between the hind foot length (HFL) and tail length (TL): the large (L) and small (S) types. Group L was distributed at altitudes above 2460 m, whereas Group S was found below 2460 m. The distance between the incisor and third upper molar (I-M3) exceeded 14.3 mm in Group L, and was less than 15.2 mm in Group S. Except for young individuals, specimens from Groups L and S from Area V differed in two external and 14 cranial measurements. The molar pattern of the third upper molar ranged from simple to complex types, and varied both within and between Groups L (Types B, C, and D) and S (Types B and C), indicating that it is inadequate as a primary diagnostic character. The relationship between TL and HFL differentiated the groups in Areas III, IV (Yunnan Province, China), VI (India, Thailand, Vietnam, and northern Burma), and VII (the provinces of Zhejiang and Fujian in China, and Taiwan), but did not differentiate them in Areas I (the provinces of Hubei and Guizhou) or II (the provinces of Gansu and Sichuan), where histograms of I-M3 distinguished Groups L and S. Proportional likeness was represented using a ratio diagram; the lines for 11 cranial dimensions distinguished Group L from Group S, indicating that they are two distinct species. Group L was identified as Eothenomys mucronatus (Allen, 1912); it was distributed in Areas II, III, V, and VI. Group S was identified as E. melanogaster (Milne-Edwards, 1872); it was distributed in Areas I, II, IV, V, and VII. The elevations at which E. melanogaster occurred decreased from southwest to northeast, whereas no clear altitudinal tendency was seen in E. mucronatus.

Thirty-eight museum specimens of the Ryukyu spiny rat, belonging to the genus <i>Tokudaia</i> Kuroda, 1943 (Rodentia, Muridae), from the islands of Amami Oshima and Okinawa, in the Ryukyu Islands (=the Nansei Islands), southern Japan, were examined and measured. Each specimen was classified into one of five age groups (I-V) determined by the wear of the three upper molars. The spiny rat of Okinawa has on average within age groups III and IV a statistically longer and wider skull and a longer molar row than that of Amami Oshima. However, neither the posterior nor the central parts of the skull length and width differ between the two islands. Against the same size of head and body length (H&BL) or incisor - the third upper molar length (I-M3), the spiny rat of Okinawa has longer I-M3 or narrower zygomatic arches than the spiny rat of Amami Oshima. The Okinawan spiny rat has a wider first upper molar (wM1≥1.9 mm), whereas that of Amami Oshima is wM1≤1.8 mm. The Okinawan spiny rat has the palatine foramen of the skull situated more posteriorly than that of Amami Oshima. These findings indicate conclusively that the spiny rat populations on the two islands of Amami Oshima and Okinawa have distinctly different morphological characteristics, in addition to having different karyotypes, and as such they should be regarded as distinct species. The spiny rat of Amami Oshima should be named as <i>Tokudaia osimensis</i> (Abe, 1933) while that of Okinawa should be known as <i>Tokudaia muenninki</i> (Johnson, 1946).

The concept of the modern cosmopolitanism is connected with the ideal of cessation or prevention of wars, as represented in Kant's Toward Perpetual Peace, and it has been claimed that this concept has its origin in ancient Greek philosophy. Martha C. Nussbaum, an American scholar on ancient philosophy as well as on political philosophy, advocates in her article, 'Patriotism and Cosmopolitanism' (Boston Review, 1994), the revaluation of ancient cosmopolitanism as an effective thought for the realization of peace and the protection of human rights across countries' borders. However, she is often criticized for anachronistically importing our enlightenment-derived interpretation into ancient Greek thoughts (cf. Lee Harris, 'The Cosmopolitan Illusion', Policy Review, 2003). Diogenes the Cynic, upon being asked to give the name of his home city, replied 'I am a citizen of the world (cosmoplolites)'. But Cynic cosmopolitanism seems to have been rather negative in that it rejected any ethical obligation. I attempt in this paper to trace cosmopolitanism to its origins, making use of materials from Cynics, early Stoics and Roman writers. My contentions are as follows: 1) Diogenes said that the only true city is that which belongs to cosmos (DL 6, 72). For him no other cities on earth could be genuine. The true city has law just like any other cities, but it is not any such system of rules as adopted in communities on earth. It was rather a system of virtues. 2) Although we know very little about what more Diogenes made of his ideal city, we can at least infer from materials of early Stoics what it was like. The assertion of Epicurean Philodemus(On the Stoics) that Diogenes and Zeno wrote works with the same title, Republic, and that they both had essentially the same opinion, suggests that they actually believed in an ideal city. As to its concrete nature, we know from the criticism of Cassius, a Sceptic, that the ideal city was for Zeno a small community of sages, and this is confirmed for Diogenes too, by relevant passages in Diogenes Laertius. It is thus likely that Diogenes' cosmopolitanism was a negative one, virtually equivalent to anarchism. 3) For Roman philosophers like Plutarch and Epictetus, both Diogenes and Zeno were philanthropists, who treated national origin and location as a matter of secondary importance. It is interesting that they also attributed 'cosmopolitanism' to Socrates. However, Socrates' 'cosmopolitanism' covered too small a part of the world, i. e. Greek world. Hence, their attributions were not exactly correct although they believed that they took Diogenes and Zeno in the right spirit. Thus, such cosmopolitanism as Nussbaum is willing to recognize in ancient world is safely traced to Roman philosophers and their interpretation of Diogenes and Zeno, even though it is difficult to trace it to these two philosophers themselves.

An invention of the new physical battery called ECS (Energy Capacitor System) composed from specially made capacitors and electronic circuits, has opened up profound applications and possibilities. Copernican revolution indesign of energy storage capacitors is provided by trading off their internal resistance with energy density, and by charging slowly as to obtain better efficiency. Many problems inherent to capacitors such as inefficient charging, wide variation of terminal voltage and unequal distribution of voltage to each capacitors have been solved by attached electronic cirCapacitors for the system are also specially developed. With the electronic circuits, capacitors accommodate the energy density of 10Wh/1 at 2ΩF (ohms for each farad) and 18 Wh/1 at 108ΩF. Various applications are tested ranging from solar system to home air conditioner. Power load leveler is supported by Japanese national project, a 3kWh system is built and resulted 85% AC to AC, 95% DC to DC efficiency together with record cell energy density of 27 Wh/l. A 15ton Hybrid bus powered by a 75kW ECS with a 75kW generator produced and resulted almost twice improvements of fuel mileage.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the current state of developmental researches in the area of psychophysiology of emotions in preschool and elementary school children. Electrodermal and cardiovascular activity measures are considered as the sources of indices of the autonomic nervous system activation during emotion-eliciting stimulation in children. We discuss the question of sensitivity of phasic and tonic autonomic measures for the identification of occurrence of emotion, mapping it along with valence and arousal dimensions in affective space, and to further differentiate emotions by their physiological manifestations. Considered are the conceptual and methodological issues related to psychophysiological measurements and developmental factors affecting the emotional reactivity in children. Special attention is devoted to the developmental aspects of psychophysiological studies on emotion such as the maturation of organs, integration of the autonomic and central nervous systems, age and gender-related changes in autonomic reactivity, and development of inhibitory control. Summarized are main findings relevant to psychophysiology of emotions in preschool and early school-age children and suggested are most perspective directions of their integration in the framework of modern theories of emotion.

Three cases of colorectal foreign bodies are presented and the literature is reviewed. Case 1: A 47-year-old man, who had inserted a seasoning bottle in his rectum on January 3, was admitted to National Yokosuka Hospital on January 5, 1990. A pelvic x-ray film showed the object in the sigmoid colon, and an emergency operation was performed. The bottle (11cm in length) was removed from the sigmoid colon. The patient was discharged 16 days after the operation without complications. Case 2: A 40-year-old man presented with a self-inserted seasoning bottle in his rectum that he was unable to remove and was admitted to the hospital on July 24, 1990. Edema of the rectum precluded manual removal of the object. At laparotomy, the bottle (7.5cm in length) was removed from the rectum. The patient's postoperative course was good and he was discharged on August 26. Case 3: A 62-year-old man was admitted on December 12, 1990 for evaluation of a one-day history of a foreign body in the anorectum following autoerotic transanal manipulation with a vibrator. The 6×3×3cm object was removed manually after a spinal anesthetic. The patient was discharged on the third postoperative day.
