Simplified amino acid alphabets based on deviation of conditional probability from random background

The primitive data for deducing the Miyazawa-Jernigan contact energy or BLOSUM score matrix consists of pair frequency counts. Each amino acid corresponds to a conditional probability distribution. Based on the deviation of such conditional probability from random background, a scheme for reduction of amino acid alphabet is proposed. It is observed that evident discrepancy exists between reduced alphabets obtained from raw data of the Miyazawa-Jernigan's and BLOSUM's residue pair counts. Taking homologous sequence database SCOP40 as a test set, we detect homology with the obtained coarse-grained substitution matrices. It is verified that the reduced alphabets obtained well preserve information contained in the original 20-letter alphabet.Comment: 9 pages,3figure

Low-energy expansion formula for one-dimensional Fokker-Planck and Schr\"odinger equations with asymptotically periodic potentials

We consider one-dimensional Fokker-Planck and Schr\"odinger equations with a potential which approaches a periodic function at spatial infinity. We extend the low-energy expansion method, which was introduced in previous papers, to be applicable to such asymptotically periodic cases. Using this method, we study the low-energy behavior of the Green function.Comment: author-created, un-copyedited version of an article accepted for publication in Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretica

ケンジテキ テクスト ト パラドックス : ハル ト シュラ ダイ3シュウ カラ

Today, the universal value of the art was already lost. Is the artistic literature, which can pursue the human meaning of the text, still possible in such a situation after now?　It seems that the text of MIYAZAWA Kenji is a paradox, The meaning of its statement is not unilateral but polyvalent. Nevertheless, while it denied the only ideal about the true God (\u27hontou no kamisama\u27), the intention to some ideal itself lasted. It groped about the possibility of the communication by showing its impossibility, at a basis of rhetoric of incommensurable arguing．　Then, isn\u27t it possible to understand the persistent rewriting and revising of his compositions, too, as the practice of the paradox at the phase of the generation of text? For example, a completed text was to be fully erased with the eraser (”Kairosei”). A pure farming paean was reversed to the rage of ”the fearful drought” (”osorosii kanbatsu”) by the correction at the last one verse of poem (”Issakunen shigatsu kita toki wa”).　Those works, which closed by themselves the road to the harmony, become an expression at form of anti-harmony, and have signification as the powerfull experiment against the traditional form. According to Theory of Beauty of T. W.Adorno, the author of this paper is discussing about lyrical texts in Haru to Shura vol.3 from the viewpoint of a paradox.　1. Text of MIYAZAWA and Paradox　Giving an outline of paradox of text of MIYAZAWA, mainly on poems and juvenile novels.　2. Generation of Text and Paradox　Analyzing three lyrical works of Haru to Shura vol.3 from the viewpoint of a paradox, with an explanation of peculiarity of MIYAZAWA\u27s texts.　1) ”1022 Issakunen shigatsu kita toki wa”　2) ”1021 Wafuu wa kakoku ippai ni fuku”　3) ”1088 Mou hataraku na”　3. Montage and Paradox　Arguing about the visual feature, and the methodological relationship between paradox and montage of works of MIYAZAWA.

This presentation examines the inspirational works of writer Miyazawa Kenji (1896 - 1933)

Interplay of the Chiral and Large N_c Limits in pi N Scattering

Light-quark hadronic physics admits two useful systematic expansions, the chiral and 1/N_c expansions. Their respective limits do not commute, making such cases where both expansions may be considered to be especially interesting. We first study pi N scattering lengths, showing that (as expected for such soft-pion quantities) the chiral expansion converges more rapidly than the 1/N_c expansion, although the latter nevertheless continues to hold. We also study the Adler-Weisberger and Goldberger-Miyazawa-Oehme sum rules of pi N scattering, finding that both fail if the large N_c limit is taken prior to the chiral limit.Comment: 10 pages, ReVTe

Book Review: Policing Japan

Professor Setsuo Miyazawa\u27s Policing in Japan: A Study on Making Crime represents a very valuable addition to the growing body of English-language works on the Japanese police. This is the first such observational study of the police by a Japanese scholar and the only study to examine the behavior of Japanese detectives. Miyazawa, a professor at Kobe University and one of the leading legal sociologists in Japan, has buttressed his own observations with an extensive, and revealing, questionnaire survey of police attitudes

Low-energy expansion formula for one-dimensional Fokker-Planck and Schr\"odinger equations with periodic potentials

We study the low-energy behavior of the Green function for one-dimensional Fokker-Planck and Schr\"odinger equations with periodic potentials. We derive a formula for the power series expansion of reflection coefficients in terms of the wave number, and apply it to the low-energy expansion of the Green function
