<Reports on the Sixteenth annual Meeting of the Tsukuba English Linguisic Society> Downstep in Japanese : Syntatic vs. Semantic Approach

It has been argued that the effect of downstep differently appears depending on the syntactic structure (Kubozono 1989, 1992 and Azuma 1992a, 1992b) or on the semantic information (Koori 1992a, 1992b) ..

Conceptual Design of 3-D FDTD Dedicated Computer With Dataflow Architecture for High Performance Microwave Simulation

For practical use of microwave simulations in industry applications such as high frequency product design, this paper presents a conceptual design of 3-D finite difference time domain (FDTD) dedicated computer with dataflow architecture as one of the portable high performance computing technologies. A basic concept of the dataflow architecture for the FDTD dedicated computer itself was presented already in 2003 for 2-D microwave simulations. Detail design of 3-D FDTD dataflow machine is considered in this paper

Avoided ferromagnetic quantum critical point in CeZn

Cubic CeZn shows a structural phase transition under pressure, and it modifies the ground state from an antiferromagnetic (AFM) state to a ferromagnetic (FM) state. To investigate how the FM state terminates at a quantum phase transition, we measured the electrical resistivity under pressure for a single crystal CeZn. The transition temperature into the FM state decreases monotonously with increasing pressure, accompanied by the pronounced Kondo effect, but a drastic change in the field response occurs before the ordered phase terminates. This result suggests that the FM quantum critical point is avoided by the appearance of an AFM-like state.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure
