本稿では,この10年間に先進社会に広がった厳罰化を予見していたPrisons of Povertyの国際的な反響を省察する.そして,Prisons of Povertyが1999年に察知していたアメリカ発の世界に拡大する「法秩序」の嵐はいまだに広範囲にわたって猛威をふるっていることを紹介する.実際,その嵐は第一世界から第二世界の国々へと広がり,約15年前には誰もが予想しえなかった,ありえないと考えていたやり方で,世界中の刑罰政策を刷新してきた.本稿では,ラテンアメリカにおいてアメリカ式犯罪取締の観念と妙策が拡散する過程で,シンクタンク(とくにマンハッタン・インスティチュート)がはたした役割を詳細に検討する.それは,貧困の犯罪化を生み出す市場優先の総合政策が国際的に循環していることを呈示する.そして,ネオリベラリズムと厳罰のつながりにかんする従来のモデルを吟味し,修正をくわえることになる.これは拙書Punishing the Poorのなかで展開された社会不安の時代における国家形成の分析へとつながる.

Gene therapy has generated worldwide attention as a new medical technology. While non-viral gene vectors are promising candidates as gene carriers, they have several issues such as toxicity and low transfection efficiency. We have hypothesized that the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) affects gene expression in polyplex supported gene delivery systems. The effect of ROS on the gene expression of polyplex was evaluated using a nitroxide radical-containing nanoparticle (RNP) as an ROS scavenger. When polyethyleneimine (PEI)/pGL3 or PEI alone was added to the HeLa cells, ROS levels increased significantly. In contrast, when (PEI)/pGL3 or PEI was added with RNP, the ROS levels were suppressed. The luciferase expression was increased by the treatment with RNP in a dose-dependent manner and the cellular uptake of pDNA was also increased. Inflammatory cytokines play an important role in ROS generation in vivo. In particular, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α caused intracellular ROS generation in HeLa cells and decreased gene expression. RNP treatment suppressed ROS production even in the presence of TNF-α and increased gene expression. This anti-inflammatory property of RNP suggests that it may be used as an effective adjuvant for non-viral gene delivery systems.

We fabricated rectangular mesa structures of superconducting Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+d (Bi2212) using e-beam lithography and Ar ion beam etching techniques for terahertz (THz) emission. c-axis resistance versus temperature (R–T), current–voltage (I–V) characteristics and bolometric THz power measurements were performed to characterize Bi2212 mesas. The emission frequency of mesas was determined using a Michelson interferometer setup which also demonstrates polarized emission. Interference patterns of THz radiation from Bi2212 mesas were detected by various detectors such as a liquid helium cooled silicon composite bolometer, a Golay cell and a pyroelectric detector. An emitted power as high as 0.06 mW was detected from Bi2212 mesas. For the first time, most of the pumped power was extracted as THz emission from a Bi2212 mesa. The radiation at 0.54 THz was detected using the Michelson interferometric setup.

A numerical method to integrate the time-dependent Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (TDHFB) equations with Gogny interaction is proposed. The feasibility of the TDHFB code is illustrated by the conservation of the energy, particle numbers, and center of mass in the small amplitude vibrations of 20O . The TDHFB code is applied to the isoscalar quadrupole and/or isovector dipole vibrations in the linear (small amplitude) region in oxygen isotopes, 18, 20, 22, 24O , titanium isotopes, 44, 50, 52, 54Ti , neon isotope, 26Ne , and magnesium isotopes, 24, 34Mg . The isoscalar quadrupole and isovector dipole strength functions are calculated from the expectation values of the isoscalar quadrupole and isovector dipole moments.

This article presents a test development project for classroom speaking assessment. With the aim of enhancing and specifically easing the process of test preparation and administration and generating positive washback effects on learning, we developed a semi-direct speaking test called the Story Retelling Speaking Test (SRST). Although a story retelling technique has already been widely recognized as a teaching activity, its use for speaking assessment has not been fully studied. Thus, the article discusses the potentiality of using this technique for the SRST and reports its pilot administration to 43 examinees. As a result, the high practicality of the test was confirmed at the test construction and implementation stages. In addition, the questionnaire distributed to the examinees yielded generally positive results regarding their perception toward the test usefulness and the appropriateness of the test procedures and task difficulty. With regard to the appropriateness of the texts, the examinees perceived that the retelling of stories was influenced most by text content and then by text length; however, these two factors appear to be interrelated. On the basis of these responses, we have suggested some revisions of the SRST and future validation and reliability studies.

The authors demonstrated a new method for inducing enormous shrinkage in single-walled carbon nanotube bundles by applying low energy electron beam irradiation along with supersonic vibration, and a maximum shrinkage rate of −100% cm2/C was obtained under electron acceleration of 1 keV. The characteristic feature of the shrunken single-walled carbon nanotubes was a wavy deformation that affected the entire bundle. The authors believe that a uniaxial stress induced by the supersonic vibration broke the equilibrium of the internal stress and allowed the uniform accumulation of defects under low energy electron beam excitation. The wavy deformation of the single-walled carbon nanotubes resulted in the enormous shrinkage of the bundle.

In this paper, we develop an algorithm for minimizing the L q norm of a vector whose components are linear fractional functions, where q is an arbitrary positive integer. The problem is a kind of sum-of-ratios optimization problem, and often occurs in computer vision. In that case, it is characterized by a large number of ratios and a small number of variables. The algorithm we propose here exploits this feature and generates a globally optimal solution in a practical amount of computational time.
