, character sets are used in text streaming which are mostly included in Unicode and ISO/IEC 10646. In addition to regular Japanese text (broadly conceived as a mixed of Romaji (ASCII), Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji) many symbols are also used. Most of these symbols are already encoded in the standard mentioned earlier. However many still are not and that has lead to the creation of Private Use characters in fonts used in the ARIB context. It would be desirable to encode many of these symbols to avoid confusion with end user created private characters. This document is categorizing them in usage groups: � Traffic signs � Audio/Video symbols � Map/Guide symbols � Arrows � Numbers followed by period � Chad symbols � Japanese date symbols � Japanese currency symbol � Squared Latin abbreviations � Miscellaneous symbols � Registry Office symbols (?) � Numbers followed by comma � Parenthesized ideographs � Circled Ideographs � Geometric shapes � CJK brackets � Miscellaneous symbol

This report summarizes progress on the development of a neutron source from an existing commercial product. The targeted tabletop device uses a pyroelectric crystal to create an electric field that accelerates deuterium ions towards a deuterated target to produce neutrons via fusion. A pyroelectric X-ray generator was characterized and its performance successfully compared with the manufacturer's specifications. A second special "opened " device was obtained from the vendor. A vacuum chamber in which to operate this device in a partial vacuum (and then later with deuterated gas) has been designed and is currently being fabricated. The project will continue next semester with the completed vacuum chamber and the conversion of the pyroelectric X-ray generator to a pyrofusion neutron generator. The neutrons will be characterized and used to further study particle interactions by Indiana University undergraduate students. Review of Project Pyroelectricity is the ability of certain materials to generate an electrical potential when they are heated or cooled. A research paper [1] was published in Nature in mid-2005 about an experiment that used a pyroelectric crystal to achieve nuclear fusion. Pyroelectric fusion is the process by which a pyroelectric crystal in a vacuum is cooled down and then slowly heated. Du

Historical Overview of the Duployéan and adaptations

The Duployéan shorthands and Chinook script are used as a secondary shorthand for writing French, English, German, Spanish, Rumanian, and as an alternate primary script for several first nations ' languages of interior British Columbia, including the Chinook Jargon, Okanagan, Lilooet, Shushwap, and North Thompson. The original Duployéan shorthand was invented by Emile Duployé, published in 1860, as a stenographic shorthand for French. It was one of the two most commonly used shorthand systems in France, being more popular in southern France and adjacent French speaking areas of other countries. Adaptations of Duployéan were developed for the representation of English, German, Spanish, and Rumanian. The basic inventory of consonant and vowel signs- all in the first two columns of the allocation- have been augmented over the years to provide more efficient shorthands for these languages and to adapt it to the phonologies of these languages and the languages using Chinook writing. There currently exists no formal encoding, in any context, for the representation of the Duployan or Chinook. Indeed, the submission of the Duployan Shorthands and Chinook script to the Unicode Consortium has necessitated the creation, from scratch, of the first Duployéan/Chinook font, and the allocation is based solely on the internal logic and historical usage of the script. The Chinook script was an adaptation and augmentation of the Duployéan shorthand by fr. Jean Marie Raphael LeJeune, used for writing the Chinook Jargon and other languages of 19th c. interior British Columbia. Its original use and greatest surviving attestation is from the run of the Kamloops Wawa, a (mostly) Chinook Jargon newsletter of the Catholic diocese of Kamloops, British Columbia, published 1891-1923. At the time, the Chinook Jargon pidgin was widely spoken from SE Alaska to northern California, from the Pacific to the Rockies, and sporadically outside this area. Although the Chinook Jargon was th

Sustaining family forests in rural landscapes: Rationale, challenges, and an illustration from Oregon, USA

Family forests are critical components of rural landscapes, societies and economies. In Oregon, where nonindustrial private forests comprise only 16% of the forestland base, the ecological, social and economic impact of this ownership category is disproportionately large. This is due to the landscape position these lands occupy, the diversification they contribute to forest cover and local economies, and the political and cultural connections they provide to urban populations. The significance of this ownership category is even greater in the United States as a whole, where nonindustrial private forests comprise nearly two-thirds of the commercial forestland base, dominating rural landscapes in many regions of the country. Despite the important role family forests play, their ability to contribute to the wellbeing of rural areas is challenged by several dynamic factors, including industrial consolidation in global wood markets, loss of family forestland to corporate ownership, and parcelization and fragmentation of family forestland at the urban fringe. Moreover, family forestry does not enjoy a strong social contract with the American public, which is largely ignorant of the existence of this ownership class. A foundation of broad social approval and appreciation for family forestry is a prerequisite to development of policies which can sustain family forestland ownerships and the contributions they make. This paper draws from recent research in Oregon to argue that, whereas most research on nonindustrial private forests has focused on economics and management at the individual producer level, these challenges demand greater attention to the role of family forests in the wider context of landscape, culture and rural economy
