This paperis an attempt to understand the prison visitors’ perspectives on crimes attributed imprisoned women and places of female confinement. In this ethnography conducted in two prisons, we note that many interlocutors tend justify imprisonment by linking them a “thug” partner. There were no mentions committed for family sustenance, which is out step with recent literature imprisonment. From...

Many adjectives that appear to be synonyms of one another differ in their intensity. Distinguishing the nuances between adjective synonyms is vital to linguistic understanding of a language, but WordNet currently does not encode the relative intensities of adjective synonyms that lie on the scale. Sheinman & Tokunaga (2009) proposed a solution of constructing Adjective Scales by data mining a w...

I T has been shown that aging females of Drosophila melanogaster at low temperature induces very high frequencies of meiotic primary nondisjunction of the X chromosomes (TOKUNAGA 1970). This paper reports the stage during meiosis at which this occurs; the finding that the nondisjunction is not restricted to the X chromosomes; and the finding of a positive correlation between number of retained ...

Based on associated material collected from Macau and Guangxi, the pupae and larvae of Polypedilum (Pentapedilum) nodosum Johannsen and P. (Tripodura) masudai Tokunaga are described completely for the first time. Both species are newly recorded from China. Characters for distinguishing the immature stage of these species from other allied Polypedilum species are noted. The previously recorded P...

We construct topological string and topological membrane actions with a nontrivial 3-form flux H in arbitrary dimensions. These models realize Bianchi identities with a nontrivial H flux as consistency conditions. Especially, we discuss the models with a generalized SU(3) structure, a generalized G2 structure and a generalized Spin(7) structure. These models are constructed from the AKSZ formul...

We propose a new topological field theory on generalized complex geometry in two dimension using AKSZ formulation. Zucchini’s model is A model in the case that the generalized complex structure depends on only a symplectic structure. Our new model is B model in the case that the generalized complex structure depends on only a complex structure. E-mail address: [email protected] E-mail ...
