Regional contributions through athletic lessons for elementary school children
We have provided athletic lessons for elementary school children for four years. These lessons are at the center of a project that aims to contribute to the local community. Initially, we decided on the following theme: “Have fun, learn to run fast, and stand on the Big Swan track.” To improve children’s competitive abilities, we focused on engaging them in fun activities that would lay the foundation for a life filled with sports; to motivate and engage the children, we gave them a chance to attend track meets as part of the program. This project has great potential, both as a practical approach to Track and Field instruction and as a basis for student volunteer activities in the elementary school teaching course. We believe that faculty members and students of Niigata University of Health and Welfare will be able to connect with many more children in the region through this project
Brain Alterations and Mini-Mental State Examination in Patients with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy: Voxel-Based Investigations Using 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Background/Aims: The aim of this study was to compare differences in morphological and functional changes in brain regions in individual patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and correlate their Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score with anatomy and function using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET). Methods: Sixteen PSP patients and 20 age-matched healthy volunteers underwent FDG-PET and 3-dimensional MRI. Gray matter, white matter and metabolic activity were compared between patients and normal controls. In addition, possible correlations between the MMSE score and brain function/anatomy were examined. Results: The PSP group had reduced cerebral glucose metabolism, and lower gray and white matter volumes in the frontal lobes and midbrain compared with normal controls. In PSP subjects, the metabolic changes observed in the PET scans were greater than the loss in gray and white matter observed in the MRI scans. The MMSE scores were positively correlated with volume and FDG uptake in the frontal lobe. Conclusion: FDG-PET is a more effective tool in the diagnosis of PSP than MRI. Atrophy and hypometabolism in the frontal lobe are as important as in the basal midbrain for differentiating PSP patients who primarily exhibit cognitive dysfunction from normal controls
Terahertz spectroscopy of NO and isotopic invariant fit of several nitric oxide isotopologs
A tunable far-infrared laser sideband spectrometer was used to investigate a
nitric oxide sample enriched in 18O between 0.99 and 4.75 THz. Regular,
electric dipole transitions were recorded between 0.99 and 2.52 THz, while
magnetic dipole transitions between the 2Pi(1/2) and 2Pi(3/2) spin-ladders were
recorded between 3.71 and 4.75 THz. These data were combined with lower
frequency data of N(18)$O (unlabeled atoms refer to (14)N and (16)O,
respectively), with rotational data of NO, (15)NO, N(17)O, and (15)N(18)O, and
with heterodyne infrared data of NO to be subjected to one isotopic invariant
fit. Rotational, fine and hyperfine structure parameters were determined along
with vibrational, rotational, and Born-Oppenheimer breakdown corrections. The
resulting spectroscopic parameters permit prediction of rotational spectra
suitable for the identification of various nitric oxide isotopologs especially
in the interstellar medium by means of rotational spectroscopy.Comment: 8 pages, 1 figure; part of the Marilyn Jacox special issue of the

Laser-induced-fluorescence measurement of thermal conductivity in warm dense matter generated by pulsed-power discharge
Thermal conductivity in warm dense matter is
one of the interests for thermonuclear fusion
scenarios. Alternative inertial confinement fusion,
which is a fast ignition with applied magnetic
field [1], has been considered to improve
the coupling efficiency. The target behavior of
the fast ignition with applied magnetic field depends
on the anisotropic thermal conductivity.
The magnetic confinement fusion (MCF) [2] Up
to now, the heat load on the divertor in previous
MCF systems has been unreached parameter.
Thus, to predict properties of the divertor under
these heat loads, several experiments have been
performed using several methods[3-6]. To predict
the performance of the tungsten divertor in
MCF, we should analyze not only metallurgical
properties but also thermophysical properties of
ablated tungsten..
エシゾウ ガ メダッタ ニュウセン ヒシンジュンセイ アポクリンガン ノ 1レイ
An 88-year old woman had an approximately 20mm tumor in her left breast is described. We performed partial resection of her breast under local anesthesia because of her old age and found out to be an intraductal apocrine carcinoma with necrosis and histiocyte infiltration into the stroma leasion by histological findings. We made a wrong diagnosis as it was invasive ductal carcinoma by the preoperative mammography and ultrasonography findings. It might be due to those histological view. According to the immunostaining procedure, ER was positive and PgR was negative. There are 26 cases reports of intraductal apocrine carcinoma including this case in the Japanese literature. We found only 4 cases were described about intraductal necrosis in their sentences. And 3 cases of them have succeeded in treating by breast partial resection. We examined about this case and report with analyzing those previous literature review

Recent activity on beam dynamics study during longitudinal bunch compression by using compact beam simulators for heavy ion inertial fusion
In heavy ion inertial fusion scenario, heavy
ion beams with extreme high current are most
important assignment [1]. Predictions of beam
behavior are basic necessity to design the accelerator
complex. Especially, a bunch compression
manipulation in the final stage of accelerator
complex is required to generate the beam
with high current and suitable short pulse duration
