Exports of Taiwan Rice to the Kansai Region during the Period of Japanese Rule

At the beginning of 20th century, both commercial ports of Osaka and Kobe, based on the modern industrial production, were the most important costal habours in the Kansai region. The booming economy influenced by the World War I caused thus the population growth of urban areas and an immediate increase of skilled workers. The rice market in the Kansai region has been expanding due to the country\u27s population growth and the improving living standards that have accompanied its rapid economic expansion. The rice problem was going to be very serious. In 1898, therefore, the Japanese Government started to promote rice production, which made Taiwanese rice increasingly important. This paper analyzes the process of the Taiwanese rice exports to the Kansai region during the Japanese period

Exports of Taiwan Rice to the Kanto region during the Period of Japanese Rule

The booming economy influenced by the World War I caused thus the population growth of urban areas and an increase of industrial laborers. The Rice market in the Kanto region has been expanding due to the country\u27s population growth and the improving living standards that have accompanied its rapid economic expansion. The rice problem was going to be very serious. In 1898, therefore, the Japanese Government started to promote rice production, which made Taiwanese rice increasingly important. The Feng-lai rice quickly gained popularity in Japan and helped to solve Japan\u27s rice shortage problems. This paper analyzes the process of the Taiwanese rice exports to the Kanto region during the Japanese period

Exports of Taiwan Salt to Primorskaya Oblast’ and Karafuto during the Period of Japanese Rule

After the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese took possession of Karafuto andobtained the fishery rights to Primorskaya Oblast’, one of the world’s important fisheries.Since salt is an ancient and important method for preserving food, prosperous fisheriesconsumed enormous amounts of salt. With the success of transit trade, British andSpanish salt acquired a large share of the market at the time. After 1905, however, theJapanese Government started to promote salt production, which made Taiwanese saltincreasingly important. This paper will reveal the process of the Taiwanese salt exportsto Primorskaya Oblast\u27 and Karafuto during the Japanese period

The Development of Agricultural Population and the Land Area of Rice Cultivation in Taiwan under Japanese Colonial Rule

Since the beginning of the Japanese rule in Taiwan （1895）, the colonial government sought the way how to increase rapidly the rice production in order to satisfy not only the fundamental requirement of local people but also the urgent need of Japanese population. And as a result, the great demand of rural manpower and the expansion of land area of paddy field were absolutely necessary for the rice cultivation. In fact, the basis of paddy rice production in Taiwan had been established before the 19th century and the island gained a high reputation for the abundant supply of rice to her islanders and even to the inhabitants of China Fujian. This paper is aimed to discuss on the one hand, the question concerning the development of agricultural population and on the other hand, the expansion of the land area of paddy field in Taiwan under Japanese colonial rule.東アジアの歴史と動

The same neuron may play different functional roles in the neural circuits to which it belongs. For example, neurons in the Tritonia pedal ganglia may participate in variable phases of the swim motor rhythms [1]. While such neuronal functional variability is likely to play a major role the delivery of the functionality of neural systems, it is difficult to study it in most nervous systems. We work on the pyloric rhythm network of the crustacean stomatogastric ganglion (STG) [2]. Typically network models of the STG treat neurons of the same functional type as a single model neuron (e.g. PD neurons), assuming the same conductance parameters for these neurons and implying their synchronous firing [3, 4]. However, simultaneous recording of PD neurons shows differences between the timings of spikes of these neurons. This may indicate functional variability of these neurons. Here we modelled separately the two PD neurons of the STG in a multi-neuron model of the pyloric network. Our neuron models comply with known correlations between conductance parameters of ionic currents. Our results reproduce the experimental finding of increasing spike time distance between spikes originating from the two model PD neurons during their synchronised burst phase. The PD neuron with the larger calcium conductance generates its spikes before the other PD neuron. Larger potassium conductance values in the follower neuron imply longer delays between spikes, see Fig. 17.Neuromodulators change the conductance parameters of neurons and maintain the ratios of these parameters [5]. Our results show that such changes may shift the individual contribution of two PD neurons to the PD-phase of the pyloric rhythm altering their functionality within this rhythm. Our work paves the way towards an accessible experimental and computational framework for the analysis of the mechanisms and impact of functional variability of neurons within the neural circuits to which they belong
