Quasi-Elastic d(p⃗,n⃗)2pd(\vec{p},\vec{n})2p Reaction and Spin Response Functions of the Deuteron

We calculated response functions of the deuteron for charge exchange processes, including the final state interaction between two protons. Using them we evaluated the double differential cross section and polarization observables of $d(\vec{p},\vec{n})2p$ by means of plane wave impulse approximation with an optimal factorization. Calculation well reproduced the shape of the energy spectra of the cross section, though somewhat overestimated the magnitude. It also reproduced the spin observables well.Comment: 19 pages of LaTeX (4 figures not included, hard copy available upon request), UT-Komaba 93-2

Die individuelle Selbsterschaffung der geschichtlichen Welt und der Staat: “Staat” und “Volk” in der Philosophie Nishida Kitarōs

Originally published as「歴史的世界の個性的な自己創造と国家：西田哲学における〈国家〉と〈民族〉」, in「西田哲学会年報第七号」[ Jahrbuch der Nishida-Gesellschaft] 7 : 55–76. Übersetzt von Leon Krings. In diesem Aufsatz wird der Frage nachgegangen, in welcher Weise der „Staat“ im späten Denken des Philosophen Nishida Kitarō thematisiert wird. Dies geschieht anhand der Staatstheorie Nishidas, wie sie sich in seinen Aufsätzen Das Problem der Staatsraison und Das Problem der japanischen Kultur sowie im Anhang zur Philosophischen Aufsatzsammlung iv darstellt. Zusätzlich werden Nishidas Schriften, die nach den Grundproblemen der Philosophie geschrieben wurden und den theoretischen Hintergrund seiner Staatstheorie bilden, miteinbezogen. In diesen Schriften fragt Nishida – ausgehend von der genetischen Struktur der historischen Wirklichkeit – nach der Daseinsberechtigung sowie der Bedeutung des Staates, d. h. danach, was ein Staat ist und welche Art von Gemeinschaft es verdient, als „Staat“ bezeichnet zu werden. Mithilfe des im Folgenden dargestellten Leitfadens werde ich versuchen, Nishidas Gedankengang genauer nachzuverfolgen. Dabei wird sich zeigen, dass er den „Staat“ als eine im höchsten Maße paradoxe Form der Gemeinschaft interpretiert

Nondestructive characterization of Antarctic micrometeorites collected at the Dome Fuji Station by synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence analysis

The bulk trace element composition (Ca, Ti, Cr, Mn, Ni Cu, Zn, Ge, Se, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Mo) of eighty-three Antarctic micrometeorites was nondestructively analyzed using synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence analysis (SR-XRF), and these elements were characterized in terms of their abundance ratio relative to Murchison matrix composition. The relationship between heating history and chemical composition is also examined. We found a complementary relationship among I-type, S-type and unmelted AMMs in the micrometeorites\u27 elemental abundance, which is consistent with the hypothesis that I-type and S-type spherules were separated from chondritic meteoroids

Prognostic factors affecting the risk of thoracic progression in extensive-stage small cell lung cancer

BACKGROUND: The efficacy of combined modality therapy is evaluated for patients with extensive-stage (ES) small cell lung cancer (SCLC). This study evaluated prognostic factors affecting the risk of thoracic progression in ES-SCLC patients likely to undergo thoracic radiotherapy combined chemotherapy. METHODS: A retrospective review of ES-SCLC patients who had received systemic chemotherapy at our hospital was performed. Tumor size, metastatic sites, and laboratory data at diagnosis were evaluated as potential prognostic factors. In ES-SCLC patients without pleural dissemination, the rate of thoracic progression after initial chemotherapy was assessed. RESULTS: Eighty-three of 96 consecutive ES-SCLC patients were analyzed. The overall response rate was 55 %, median progression free survival was 5.0 months (mo), and overall survival (OS) was 9.2 mo. Tumor size (19.4 mo for ≤3 cm vs. 8.5 mo for >3 cm, p = 0.017) and the number of metastatic sites (12.9 mo for single sites vs. 7.1 mo for multiple sites, p = 0.015) were prognostic factors, in addition to known prognostic factors such as performance status and the levels of LDH and sodium. Cox proportional hazard model showed that the OS was significantly worse in patients with large (>3 cm) primary tumor size {HR 2.44 [95 % confidential interval (CI) 1.05–5.68], p = 0.038} and multiple metastatic sites [HR 1.81 (95 % CI 1.08–3.04), p = 0.026]. In 51 cases without pleural dissemination, the number of metastatic sites was associated with thoracic progression after initial chemotherapy (65 % for single sites vs. 36 % for multiple sites, p = 0.036). CONCLUSION: Large tumor size and multiple metastatic sites at diagnosis significantly predicted poor survival in ES-SCLC patients. Based on the high rate of thoracic progression in ES-SCLC patients with single site of distant metastasis, we should consider thoracic radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy for this population.
