Doubly autoparallel structure on the probability simplex

On the probability simplex, we can consider the standard information geometric structure with the e- and m-affine connections mutually dual with respect to the Fisher metric. The geometry naturally defines submanifolds simultaneously autoparallel for the both affine connections, which we call {\em doubly autoparallel submanifolds}. In this note we discuss their several interesting common properties. Further, we algebraically characterize doubly autoparallel submanifolds on the probability simplex and give their classification

Competition in Industries Recently Deregulated in Japan

Deregulation in Japan has been caused by both external and internal factors. External factors include requests by the United States and the European Community, where deregulation measures were extensively implemented in order to facilitate these countries\u27 enterprises access into Japan\u27s market. Internal factors include the necessity for the privatization of state or public corporations in order to utilize private initiative to its fullest extent and for the reduction of differences between domestic and international prices

Studies on the compounds lipids from X-ray irradiated animal,1.

For the purpose to reveal the mechanism of the biological indirect action of X-rays the author has conducted the analysis of the compound lipids of the organs of the rabbits irradiated with X-rays. Silicic acid column chromatography was applied for the fractionation of the compound lipids. Component of each fraction was analyzed by silicic acid-impregnated paper chromatography and infra-red spectrophotometory. The result proved that the compound lipids showed some qualitative and 10+-+ quantitative changes. The changes occurred mainly in glycerophosphatides showing the formation of high level lyso-phosphatidylcholine and lysophosphatidylethanolamine. The fatty acid compositions of the compound lipids were determined by means of gas-liquid chromatography. Further, polyunsaturated fatty acids were analyzed as fatty acid bromide. Major differences found in fatty acid patterns included: in the irradiated group the amount of C18-monoenoic, C18-dienoic, C18-trienoic, C20-tetraenoic and C22-acids were decreased and of C18- and C18-monoenoic acids were increased. It has been elucidated that lysophosphatides not only posesses a strong hemolytic power but also it has an action to induce swelling of the rat liver mitochondria. And it has been suggested that the lysophosphatides and ethanolamine will be responsible, at least partially, for the cell damage induced by X-rays.</p

New sounds and extended composition techniques

This thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.This commentary supports my PhD composition portfolio. The composition processes of each piece are related to my central research questions, which concern the creation of new sounds using overtone-based scales and extended instrumental techniques. I have developed four main conceptual composition themes and these are represented in the thirteen compositions in the portfolio. In this commentary I consider how each composition was developed around these conceptual themes.Nomura Foundation, Japan for a research grant, Brunel Graduate School for the Vice Chancellor’s Travel Prizes (2010 and 2012), and for the PRSF and Bliss Trust Composer Bursarie
