As a case study of the general theme of this special issue—“different phonetic realizations of different social characters”, this paper explores prosodic features of two types of prototypical

voices, which have been emerging in recent Japanese culture: “moe” “tsun”. Two professional voice actresses read simple Japanese SOV sentences in three types of voices: Moe, tsun, normal. Acoustic analyses show that the moe voice is characterized by higher f0 louder voice than the normal voice, whereas the tsun voice is characterized by lower f0 quieter voice. The current study also finds that the speakers manipulate H-tone targets more extensively than L-tone targets to differentiate different speech styles, which is compatible with some previous studies models of intonation. In terms of its research value, the current findings may not be ground-breaking; however, an additional value of this research lies in the fact that this sort of material makes phonetic analyses more accessible to the general public as well as to students in undergraduate education. To that end, some sample sounds are made available at http://bit.ly/1WCu5DA.

 The purpose of this paper is to examine the developmental process of diversification of commercial accumulation in Akihabara area. This area is cradles of innovation in commerce. In the Edo period, Akihabara is residential area for samurai class(feudal Japanese military aristocracy). After 1912, it became a transportation hub when tramcars

In 1951, GHQ cleared a lot of the black markets in kanto region. This initiative led to the virtualization of the commercial buildings. In1955, number of stores of home appliances, personal computers, ham radio equipments, Audio Visual equipments have remarkably increased. The number of tourists has increased greatly.

 Based on there historical background, various industry types in akihabara area are thriving. they survive the extinction by many years, making commercial accumulation. For example, electric parts merchandise business transitioned to radio store, personal computer, audio & visual equipment, game

食品や飲料を味わう上で、味や風味の経時変化は重要な情報としておいしさに寄与する。Temporal dominance of sensations (TDS)法は、最もdominant (注意が向けられた、印象的)な味、風味、食感などの感覚情報の質的経時変化を計測する官能評価手法である。近年、食品や飲料における報告がなされてきたが、基本味などの基礎的な知見が不足している。ここでは、基本味とその混合水溶液のTDS計測を行ったので報告する。また、味や風味のデザインを他者と共有化するツールとしてTDSを活用した事例として、和の食材を用いたチティエと開発した内容を報告する。

We investigated the Czochralski growth of uGa0_2 single crystal for use as a substrate for the epitaxial growth of hexagonal GaN. We fbund that [001] pulling provides the crystal with a multi-polar domain, while [010] /or [100] pulling results in the crystal with a single-polar domain. GaN thin film grew only on the hardly etched suface of(001) LiGa0_2 substrate with a single polar domain.

Large crystals of calcium gadolinium oxoborate, Ca_4GdO(BO_3)_3 (GdCOB), have been grown by the Czochralski method. Typical size of crystals is 50mm in diameter 50 mm in length. The obtained crystals are transparent. The quality of crystal depends on the oxygen content in the atmosphere.
