連体修飾節の形容詞的用法と心的走査《論文》

本稿は，被修飾名詞を形式名詞「もの」と「こと」に限定し，被修飾名詞の性質の違いによって，形容詞的用法の「タ」形と「テイル」形が選択されることを指摘し，その形態的特徴を記述した。更に，そこには事態を認識する人間の走査の仕方が関わっていることを考察した。 　まず，「物的」な事象を表す「もの」を修飾する節には「タ」形が多く，「事柄的」な事象を表す「こと」を修飾する節には「テイル」形が多いことを指摘した。また，「タ」形と「テイル」形が使われる文の形態的特徴には，項の出現数が関係していること，つまり，項の出現数が多い場合は，「テイル」形が使われやすくなるが，項の出現数が減っていくと「テイル」形が減り，「タ」形が増える傾向があることを述べた。最後に，形容詞的用法の「タ」形と「テイル」形は，事態を認識する人間の走査の仕方である「統括的走査」によるものであることを述べた。 　これまでは，動詞分類から見たアスペクトの形式に関する研究が多く，被修飾名詞によるアスペクトの形式の選択に関する研究は少ないのが現状である。本研究はこの問題を解決することで，形容詞的用法の「タ」形と「テイル」形が選択される条件を突き止めたところに意義があると思われる。 Focusing on Japanese formal nouns mono and koto, we pointed out that the former is likely to select as its modifier a clause ending with -ta, and that the latter is likely to select as its modifier one with -teiru, and discussed their variety. We also proposed that this selection involves the mode of mental scanning of events. The clauses modifying the formal noun, mono, which represents an entity-like event, are likely to end with -ta, while those modifying the formal noun, koto, which represents a factual event, are likely to end with -teiru. The morphological selection between the clauses ending with -ta and those ending with -teiru hinges on the number of the arguments which the verb of the relevant clause has: the greater number more or less selects a clause ending with -teiru, while the less number more or less selects one with -ta. Both of the adjectival uses of clauses ending with -ta and -teiru are for “integrated” scanning, one mode of mental scanning of events. In our paper, thus, we attempted to identify conditions for selecting between clauses ending with -ta and -teiru, not by the semantic difference between their ending aspects, but from the viewpoint of which aspect each of the nouns selects in the clause modifying it semantically.textapplication/pdfdepartmental bulletin pape

Search for \bar{B}^0 →Λ_c^+\bar{Λ}_c^- decay at Belle

We search for the doubly charmed baryonic decay \bar{B}^0 →Λ_c^+\bar{Λ}_c^-, in a data sample of 520×106 B\bar{B} events accumulated at the Υ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^+e^- collider. We find no significant signal and set an upper limit of B(\bar{B}^0 →Λ_c^+\bar{Λ}_c^-)< 6.2×10^{-5} at 90% confidence level. The result is significantly below a naive extrapolation from B(B^-→　Ξ\begin0\c\end\bar{Λ}_c^-) assuming a simple Cabibbo-suppression factor of |V_cd/V_cs|^2. The small branching fraction may be attributed to a suppression due to the large momentum of the baryonic decay products, which has been observed in other charmed baryonic two-body B decays.journal articl

Autotrophic Carbon Assimilation Pathway Components Identified in C. symbiosum (A) 3-Hydroxypropionate Cycle

<p>Each step is mediated by the following enzymes: (1) acetyl-CoA carboxylase, (2–3) malonyl-CoA reductase, (4–6) propionyl-CoA synthase, (7) propionyl-CoA carboxylase, (8) methylmalonyl-CoA epimerase, (9) methylmalonyl-CoA mutase, (10) succinate dehydrogenase, (11) fumarase, (12) succinyl-CoA/malate CoA transferase, and (13) malyl-CoA lyase (B) TCA cycle. Each step is mediated by the following enzymes: (1) citrate synthase, (2–3) aconitase, (4) isocitrate dehydrogenase, (5) 2-oxoacid ferredoxin oxidoreductase or 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase, (6) succinyl-CoA synthase, (7) succinate dehydrogenase, (8) fumarase, and (9) malate dehydrogenase. In the reductive direction, the steps are reversed and citrate synthase is replaced by citrate lyase in (1). Diagrams are based on KEGG pathway maps and include enzyme classification numbers (EC) for each step in boxes when available. Box color indicates the identification status of genes encoding a particular step.

Distance (top), parsimony (middle), and maximum-likelihood (bottom) bootstrap values providing more than 50% support are indicated.
