Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is a self-limiting type of drug eruption that frequently occurs as a reaction to antibiotics, particularly penicillins or macrolides. Daptomycin (DAP) is a newly developed antibiotic that specifically targets methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection. We herein present the case of a 77-year-old severe burn victim who was diagnosed with DAP-induced AGEP while receiving treatment in an intensive care unit. Although rare, physicians should be aware that the administration of DAP can cause AGEP, which may complicate the clinical course of patients with a high fever and inflammation.

This paper demonstrates the application of microfocus X-ray computed tomography (CT) to study solute transport in cracked concrete. Cracks in a cylindrical specimen of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and fly ash mortar were induced using a splitting tensile test. Cesium Carbonate (Cs2CO3) was then used as a tracer in the in-situ diffusion test with the aid of X-ray CT. Image analysis was also employed to measure the 3D crack geometry and tracer diffusivity from these CT images. The geometric tortuosity of the crack was approximately 1.25 irrespective of the crack opening width and whether fly ash was added or not. On the other hand the constrictivity increased for the fly ash mortar having roughly the equivalent crack opening width. The measured diffusivity in the crack was controlled by both crack opening width and constrictivity. Results obtained from microtomographic images suggest that the entire crack space may not always be filled with the tracer. The diffusive transport of solute in cracks thus can be restricted from microstructure’s point of view. Smaller crack opening would increase such restricted diffusion. Indications also suggest that the addition of fly ash would lead to the reduction of diffusivity through uncracked body of the mortar.

This study presents a new model of psychological processes to predict English communication behaviors of Japanese high school students. Various models have been proposed in Japan, based mainly on Canadian models, to predict second-language communication behaviors. This study shows problems with the previous models in Japan and introduces a new model from the perspective of “Expectancy-Value Theory”. Questionnaire Survey 1 compared the previous model and the modified models which suggested that a new psychological variable, “Value in English Communication”, was necessary to construct the new model. In Survey 2, the new model was further modified by incorporating into it various English learning values which the Japanese have. This study makes a significant contribution to studies and practices of teaching English as a foreign language in Japan.

A variety of satellite missions are carried out every year. Most of the satellites yield big data, and high-performance data processing technologies are expected. We have been developing a cloud system (the NICT Science Cloud) for big data analyses of Earth and Space observations via spacecraft. In the present study, we propose a new technique to process big data considering the fact that high-speed I/O (data file read and write) is important compared with data processing speed. We adopt a task scheduler, the Pwrake, for easy development and management of parallel data processing. Using a set of long-time scientific satellite observation data (GEOTAIL satellite), we examine the performance of the system on the NICT Science Cloud. We successfully archived high-speed data processing more than 100 times faster than those on traditional data processing environments.

Using the Hilbert Singular Value Decomposition (HSVD) and the Nonlinear Canonical Correlation Analysis (NLCCA), we analyzed the statistical relationship of MJO (Madden-Julian Oscillation) and ENSO (El Niño and Southern Oscillation). It was found that while a linear analysis produced no significant relationship between MJO and ENSO, a low-order nonlinear analysis based on the quadratic function of HSVD led to statistically significant lagged correlations. When their nonlinear relationship was further extracted by the NLCCA, stronger correlation was obtained, with the maximum correlation coefficient appearing while the MJO signals preceding the ENSO signals by around 2 months and 5.6 months respectively. The time lags producing the maximum correlation are respectively consistent with the characteristic time of MJO influencing ENSO dominated by two physical processes: the equatorial Kelvin waves and air-sea feedback. Corresponding to the two different physical processes, ENSO shows different features of development. In the former scenario, the westerly winds in the western Pacific excite the equatorial Kelvin waves which propagate eastward and deepen the thermocline in the eastern Pacific, resulting in the sea surface warming at the far eastern Pacific near the coast. In the latter scenario, the westerly anomalies in the western Pacific precede the development of El Niño through bringing surface warm water into the central and eastern Pacific, thus the sea surface warming occurs across the whole eastern Pacific ocean.

A newly developed Cycloid Ball Reducer is introduced and analyzed. The fundamental element of the reducer consists of three components ; two surface-grooved discs and a train of balls. One of the discs has an epicycloidal-wave groove on one side of its surface, while the other disc has a hypocycloidal-wave groove. The two grooves face each other, and between them balls are arranged in a uniform angular pitch. The balls transmit torque between the two discs. A proper amount of thrust force is applied axially to eliminate backlash. This Cycloid Ball Reducer is suitable for application to servo mechanisms and robots. It is compact and easy to build in a unit, and has a large torque capacity. In this report, the principle of the reducer is analyzed using polar complex vectors. It is proved that the reducer has linear characteristics in principle. The reduction ratio can be chosen a wide range.

We observed the behaviors of domestic dogs and their keepers in an off-leash dog park, and elucidated the relationships between them as well as with other humans and dogs who visited the park. The dogs and their keepers spent half of their time in proximity. The keepers employed physically stable behaviors such as talking and touching as tools to interact with their dogs. On the other hand, the dogs employed proximity regulations as tools to interact with their keepers. The keepers and their dogs tended to engage in intra-species more frequently than inter-species interactions. The keepers interacted with their dogs more actively on weekdays than on weekends and holidays. The women interacted with their dogs and other humans more actively than the men did.

Two experimental studies have been conducted in order to propose practice indexes for the improvement of the embouchure of French horn players, two experimental studies have been conducted. In both studies, the same task was performed by advanced and amateur French horn players. The first study investigated the activity, while performing the above-mentioned task, of the 5 facial muscles (levator labii superioris, zygomaticus major, depressor anguli oris, depressor labii inferioris, and risorius muscles) on the right side of the face by surface electromyography, and the facial movement on the left side of the face by attaching two markers above each muscle and using two high-speed cameras simultaneously. The results of the study showed that it is possible for the four markers around the lower lip to practice indexes. The second study evaluated whether the above-mentioned markers are appropriate as practice indexes using a 3-D tracking system and questionnaires. The results showed that both the advanced and the amateur players assessed that the markers were suitable as practice indexes for improving the embouchure. This set of approaches could be useful for selecting practice indexes and developing scientific practice methods not only for the French horn but also for other instruments and other fields.

顔面神経が顔面表情筋にいたる微小解剖,すなわち表情筋における顔面神経末梢枝の分布,交通についてはほとんど報告がない.今回われわれは,顔面表情筋,特に眼輪筋と口輪筋を支配する顔面神経末梢枝の分布と走行について精査を行ったので報告する.対象は日本人の成人解剖体20体の顔面片側20側,平均年齢87.36(60歳~102歳)で,その内訳は男性10体,女10体,左側10例,右側10例である.方法は顔面神経を耳前部皮膚切開より展開し茎乳突孔から同神経本幹を剖出し,末梢枝については,顕微鏡を用いながら表情筋にいたるまで走行を追い観察した.同神経の枝すべてについて観察を行ったが,特に頬骨枝と頬筋枝について眼輪筋と口輪筋への分布を中心にそれぞれの走行,分布について探求した.その結果,頬骨枝は眼輪筋にすべて分布していたが,25体中8体で口輪筋に分布していた.また頬筋枝も全例で口輪筋に分布していたが,25体中5体で眼輪筋への分布を認めた.顔面表情筋のなかでも,特に重要な働きをする眼輪筋と口輪筋は,教科書的には,眼輪筋が顔面神経の側頭枝と頬骨枝,口輪筋が顔面神経の頬筋枝(あるいは頬筋枝と下顎縁枝)が支配神経と記載されている.今回,顔面神経末梢枝の眼輪筋と口輪筋に停止する解剖と走行について精査を行った結果,従来の成書にはない多数の破格が認められ,その運動も代償している可能性が考えられた.

This article examines the Japan–U.S. cooperation in the Intermediate range Nuclear Forces (INF) reduction negotiation. The first section considers the perception of Japanese Government to INF problem. In March 1983, President Reagan tried to agree to the movement of SS-20 that Secretary-General Andropov had proposed. Andropov was going to reduce SS-20 in front of Europe, and to move this to Siberia. It meant the threat to Japan of SS-20 increased. In May 1983, Prime Minister Nakasone insisted on global zero of the INF in the Williamsburg summit. And, he supported NATO's Pershing II deployment. In addition, he stressed that the security of Japan–U.S.–Euro was inseparability. The purpose of Nakasone's speech was to have discontinued the movement of SS-20 of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union was not able to oppose the unity of G7 and abandoned the movement of SS-20. However, a more concrete settlement plan was necessary to remove SS-20 that had already been deployed from the Asia part.The second section explores a Japanese concrete reduction plan of SS-20 in the Asia part. In February 1986, Reagan informed Nakasone of INF reduction plan in the letter. Reagan was going to abolish SS-20 in the Europe part at the first stage. Moreover, Reagan described for it to reduce SS-20 in the Asia part by 50% at the first stage, and to aim at the further reduction at the second stage. The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs prepared the alternative proposal for Reagan. The alternative proposal was warned of that Reagan's plan caused the reduction negotiation between Asia part SS-20 and the U.S. forward-deployed force. That is, it meant danger of ruining the basis of the Japan–U.S. alliance. Reagan accepted the Nakasone's alternative proposal and promised Asia part SS-20 abolition.The third section discusses the background to which Nakasone supported INF deployment in Alaska. In June 1987, Western European leaders controverted the problem of denuclearization in Europe. In the Venice summit, Nakasone demanded the re-unity on the western countries to oppose the Soviet Union. And, he supported the deployment of INF with U.S. mainland. Nakasone understood INF of U.S. mainland did the balance to Asia part SS-20. These Nakasone's insistence promoted the re-unity on the western countries. The Secretary-General Gorbachev was confronted with the re-unity on the western countries and the potential pressures of Chinese Government. Consequently, he decided abolition of SS-20.A final section reexamines the cooperation of Japan–U.S. in the nuclear disarmament. INF reduction plan of Japan contributed to the achievement of INF abolition. However, it controlled a real discussion in Japan concerning the extended deterrence of the United States.

To evaluate pro-poor growth policy we assessed the applicability of several poverty measurement methods. We selected and applied the methods for evaluating transport infrastructure development in Indonesia during the transition period of governance reforms and decentralization. We used mobility as non-income poverty indicators in 1995, 2000 and 2005 to rank level of compliance with pro-poor growth policy. Surprisingly, we found that each method produced different ranking. In general, during the transition period from 1996 to 2005, the transport infrastructure development in Indonesia was comply with pro-poor growth policy. However, from 2000 to 2005 the growth become anti-poor. We conclude that individual measurement method is insufficient to evaluate pro-poor growth policy. Therefore, a robust and comprehensive measurement tool is needed. The tool will enable us to maintain the appropriate distribution of development benefit to the poor and the rich.

The cerebellar cortex, the brain region responsible for motor coordination and learning expresses a high density of B-type γ-aminobutyric acid receptor (GABAbR). Previous in vitro and in situ studies indicated that cerebellar GABAbR may mediate multiple forms of inhibitory and excitatory modulation of cerebellar circuits. Nevertheless, the in vivo influence of cerebellar GABAbR activation is unclear. As the first step in addressing this issue, we examined how pharmacological activation of cerebellar GABAbR modulates optokinetic reflex (OKR), an involuntary cerebellum-dependent eye movement for stabilizing the retinal image against the drift of the visual scene. We injected baclofen, a GABAbR-selective agonist, or control saline into the cerebellar flocculi of adult mice and then performed 1-h OKR measurement sessions on two consecutive days. In the day 1 session, the baclofen (5 nM)-injected mice and control mice showed similar initial OKR gains and similar training-induced increases in the OKR gain (OKR adaptation). This result suggests that GABAbR activation does not affect cerebellar computation for executing OKR and formation of short-term memory for OKR adaptation. At the beginning of the day 2 session, the baclofen (5 nM or 50 μM)-injected mice showed an OKR gain higher than that achieved in the day 1 session while the control mice did not. This result suggests that GABAbR activation may facilitate the formation of OKR adaptation-related long-term memory. These findings provide a new insight into the functional architecture of the cerebellar circuits and indicate GABAbR to be a new target of pharmacological therapy against diseases with cerebellar dysfunction.
