Semantic and Syntactic Principles in Second Language Acquisition: The Case of Negative Polarity Items

This paper states that semantic factors influence the acquisition of the syntax of negative polarity items in the language faculty in second language acquisition under full access to Universal Grammar.  Based on the results of elicited production tasks which were conducted on Japanese university students learning English, I will demonstrate that semantic and syntactic principles work simultaneously from the viewpoint of Antiveridicality proposed in Giannakidou (1998, 2000) and that of Feature Checking under the framework of the Minimalist Program proposed in Chomsky (1993,1994,1995,2000)

離散半線形波動方程式の解の爆発に関する定理

九州大学応用力学研究所研究集会報告 No.23AO-S7 「非線形波動研究の進展 : 現象と数理の相互作用」Report of RIAM Symposium No.23AO-S7 Progress in nonlinear wave : interaction between experimental and mathematical aspects非線形項が累乗関数の形をした非線形波動方程式の離散化を報告する。この離散方程式は元の偏微分方程式の解の爆発に対応した性質をもつ解が存在する。元の偏微分方程式が爆発解をもつ条件として空間次元に依存したものが知られており、その離散アナログが得られたこともあわせて報告する

Measuring Relative-Story Displacement and Local Inclination Angle Using Multiple Position-Sensitive Detectors

We propose a novel sensor system for monitoring the structural health of a building. The system optically measures the relative-story displacement during earthquakes for detecting any deformations of building elements. The sensor unit is composed of three position sensitive detectors (PSDs) and lenses capable of measuring the relative-story displacement precisely, even if the PSD unit was inclined in response to the seismic vibration. For verification, laboratory tests were carried out using an Xθ-stage and a shaking table. The static experiment verified that the sensor could measure the local inclination angle as well as the lateral displacement. The dynamic experiment revealed that the accuracy of the sensor was 150 μm in the relative-displacement measurement and 100 μrad in the inclination angle measurement. These results indicate that the proposed sensor system has sufficient accuracy for the measurement of relative-story displacement in response to the seismic vibration

Investigation of the optimal location of the metatarsal pad in the standing position

The location of the metatarsal pads was quantitated in 16 healthy men (32 feet) using plantar pressure measurement and numeric rating scale (NRS) systems. Plantar pressure measurement system (F-Scan, Nitta co. Japan) was used to measure plantar pressure in subjects standing still under 5 different placement conditions of metatarsal pads (thickness, 8 mm). Measurement was also performed with no pads (control, 0 mm). After plantar pressure measurement under each condition, subjects rated pain caused by the height of the pads using NRS. The results showed that the placement was optimum when the apex of the pad was located 2 cm proximal and 5 mm lateral to the proximal end of the second metatarsal head along the longitudinal axis of feet
