Differences between ‘Lacid’ and ‘Leqi’

Lacid, a member of the ethno-cultural group ‘Kachin’ in the Kachin State of Myanmar, is identified with Leqi 勒期 in Chinese, a member of the Jingpo nationality in China. However, there are some differences between the language spoken by the former and that spoken by the latter. This paper will examine the phonological and grammatical differences below between the standard Cang Moo Khung (CMK) variety of ‘Lacid’ in Myanmar and ‘Leqi’ in China. • Rhymes: PTB/PLB *-ə corresponds to - in CMK Lacid and - in Leqi, and PTB/PLB *-ə corresponds to - in CMK Lacid and - in Leqi. • Tones: In Leqi, the pitch rise occurred in most syllables with the ‘plain’ initial corresponding to *Tone I syllables in OB, unlike Lacid. • Demonstrative proforms: Lacid has a demonstrative determiner distinct from the demonstrative noun in the proximal and medial, unlike Leqi. • Case markers: Of the two, only Lacid has distinct Allative and Perlative markers, whereas only Leqi has a distinct Agentive-Instrumental marker. • Expression for prohibition: The PTB negative imperative prefix is not inherited to CMK Lacid and Leqi; the latter developed a new prefix, whereas the former uses Realis negative sentences for expressing prohibition

Status of MSBS study at NAL

Two Magnetic Suspension and Balance Systems (MSBS) at the National Aerospace Laboratory (NAL) in Japan are introduced. They are the 10 cm MSBS and the 60 cm MSBS. They have 10 cm x 10 cm and 60 cm x 60 cm test sections. The control of suspending a model at the 10 cm MSBS is six degrees of freedom including the rolling moment control. The model for the rolling moment control has two pairs of small extra permanent magnets at both its ends plus a main cylindrical magnet. The rolling moment is generated by the magnetic forces acting on the extra magnets by controlled current passing through the four side coils independently. Test results show the roll angle of the model is controlled in this way. The dynamic calibration test was carried out at the MSBS in five degrees of freedom without the rolling moment control. The model is a simple cylindrical magnet magnetized along its axis. The obtained results show that the dynamic calibration with measured magnetic field intensity is much superior to that with the coil currents. The 60 cm MSBS was designed with some data obtained at the 10 cm one. It is fundamentally proportional to the 10 cm one in size and coil positions. The measured magnetic field intensity is not so strong as expected at design. It was operated first in 1993. The control is three degrees of freedom in the longitudinal direction

Status of MSBS Study at NAL in 1995

Magnetic field intensity and currents passing through the coils of the National Aerospace Laboratory (NAL) 1O cm Magnetic Suspension and Balance System (MSBS) were measured while a cylindrical model was oscillated along x,y,z and also about y and z axes, respectively. The model was made of alnico 5 and was 8 mm in diameter and 60 mm long. Two kinds of tests were carried out. Amplitude of the oscillation was varied at a frequency of 10 Hz. Frequency was varied from 1 to 50 Hz in the other test. Results of the tests show that the relation between coil currents and magnetic force acting on the model is affected by frequency. They also show that the relation between measured magnetic field intensity and the force in vertical direction is independent of the frequency below 30 Hz. Using the measured magnetic field intensity, the vertical force can be evaluated at the MSBS instantaneously when a model moves at frequencies below 30 Hz. A static drag force calibration test was carried out at the 60 cm MSBS. Obtained relationships between measured drag coil currents and loads shows large hysteresis

A STUDY ON FUNCTION OF PROFESSIONAL COORDINATOR FOR REVITALIZATION OF COMMUNITY USING THE METHOD OF PROFILES OF PRACTITIONERS

協働のまちづくりの実践においては，多様なステークホルダーの利害を調整する調整役による調整機能が重要な鍵となっている．しかし，その実態は見えにくく，知見として整理されていない．本研究は，「実践のプロファイリング手法」を用い，立場や専門の異なる5名のプロファイルから，調整役機能を明らかにすることを目的としている．既存研究から調整役機能としての要素を抽出，整理し，立場も異なる5名のプロジェクト実践者のプロファイルから抽出した行動をあてはめ，整理することで，立場を超えた共通の調整役機能や立場による相違を分析した．その結果，すべての対象者が共通の活動目的に対し行動を起こしていたが，その行動の手法が異なることがわかった．すなわち，調整役機能にとって基礎的な要求事項が明らかになったと言える．The collaboration between residents, local government and professionals is said to be an important issue for revitalization of community. Although, it is inevitable for the projects of revitalization of community to adopt a collaborative approach with getting local government and coordination experts' support, confusions in partnership sometimes occur due to the lack of continuous or effective professional coordination. The aim of this study is to clarify rolls of professional coordinator in forming collaborative activity using a method of profile of practitioners proposed by John Forester, by analyzing profiles of five practitioners whose position of collaboration or professional expertise are different. As a result, All practitioners had the some actions for the objectives of collaborative approach listed by the authors, but there action for each is not the same style and depends on their role

<Regular Article>Identification of Lactaldehyde Reductase and Aldehyde Reductase as Functions of the Same Enzyme Protein in Pig Kidney

Lactaldehyde reductase activity of pig kidney extract was potently inhibited by aldehyde reductase inhibitors such as barbital and diphenic acid. The lactaldehyde reductase and aldehyde reductase activities from this tissue were co-purified to apparent homogeneity, and co-migrated on isoelectric focusing and Sephadex G-100 filtration. These two enzymatic activities in the crude extract were almost completely immunoprecipitated by an antibody against the purified reductase. The results indicate that lactaldehyde reductase in pig kidney is identical to aldehyde reductase
