Well-preserved upper and lower jaws of the aptychus-type found inside the body chambers of two specimens of the heteromorph ammonoid Pravitoceras sigmoidale Yabe, 1902 (Nostoceratidae, ...Ancyloceratina) are described from the Upper Cretaceous Izumi Group in Southwest Japan. They are similar in overall morphology to those of other nostoceratid and diplomoceratid ammonoids currently known, suggesting the morphological stability of the jaw features among these taxa. The equal size of the upper and lower jaws with beak-like rostral projection suggests that the jaw apparatus of this species might function to bite and cut up prey.
Seven species of decapods are described from the Izumi Group (Upper Cretaceous: Campanian–Maastrichtian) of Hyogo and Osaka Prefectures, central Japan. Archaeopidae, a new family of Retroplumoidea ...embraces the monotypic Late Cretaceous genus Archaeopus. Hinecaris simplex, a new genus and species is the first record for the axiidean family Axiidae from the Cretaceous rocks of Japan. “Callianassa” (s.l.) masanorii Karasawa, 1998, is re-described and is moved from Callianassidae to Gourretiidae. A re-description is given for Linuparus japonicus Nagao, 1931, and Archaeopus ezoensis (Nagao, 1941). The lectotype for Linuparus japonicus Nagao, 1931, is herein designated.
On the eve of deinstitutionalization, a group of professionals, including an architect, a psychiatrist, and a psychologist, joined together in pursuit of a middle ground between outright closure of ...long-stay hospitals and the introduction of out-patient services in general hospitals. Augmented by the use of the hallucinogenic drug LSD, these men produced a trenchant critique of modern psychiatry and the changing mental health system without subscribing to antipsychiatry. Caught among shifting psychiatric paradigms, fiscal constraints, and political pressure to situate mental health within an encroaching system of publicly funded health care reforms, their proposed mental hospital designs failed to stem the tidal wave of post-World War II changes in mental health care.

This study will explore the potential of nō theatre as a form in which adaptations, or more accurately transcultural transformations and appropriations, of Shakespearean drama can flourish in a ...Japanese cultural context. With reference to specific performance examples we will argue that transculturation of Shakespearean drama through the vehicle of the transcendently metaphysical and ritualized nō in combination with the more dramatically mimetic, if similarly stylized, kyōgen can offer fresh perception of theatrical possibility for both western and Japanese audiences. The practice invites both audience constituencies to share in alternative ways of seeing and feeling about the iconic and sometimes culturally conservative constructs of Shakespeare and nō, respectively. Bearing in mind the phenomenon of cultural mobility and transmission, as proposed by Stephen Greenblatt and others, we will discuss three principal case studies, Izumi Noriko’s 2006 nō Macbeth and 2013 nō Othello productions and Nomura Mansai’s 2010 Tokyo mixed-mode production and subsequent touring version of Macbeth. They serve as very good illustrations of how, in spite of the apparent aesthetic restraints arising out of the formality of its theatricality and codification, nō and kyōgen theatre can afford new insights into Shakespeare as a contemporary global theatre practice.
Laboratory experiments were performed under uniaxial compression for seven rocks, to measure anelastic strain recovery (ASR) compliance in volumetric and shear modes. Together with previous ...experiments in uniaxial, hydrostatic and triaxial compression, the effects of both the rock type and the magnitude of stress on ASR compliance in both modes were analyzed, with particular focus on long-term ASR compliances resulting in ultimate values of
J
aV2f and
J
aS2f in volumetric and shear modes, respectively. The results showed that the values of
J
aV2f and
J
aS2f obtained in uniaxial compression at 50% of the uniaxial compressive strength can be approximately determined by the tangential Young's modulus at 50% of the uniaxial compressive strength (
E
50). The ratio
J
aV2f/
J
aS2f obtained in uniaxial compression at 50% of the uniaxial compressive strength converges within a narrow range at a sufficient elapsed time for all of the rocks used in this study, whereas the long-term ASR compliances in both modes are not a similar function of time. The ratio
J
aV2f/
J
aS2f significantly decreases with the mean normal stress since
J
aV2f decreases and
J
aS2f increases as the mean normal stress increases. Thus, a method is suggested for determining the approximate magnitudes of principal stresses without referring to ASR compliance but rather by considering the effect of the mean normal stress on long-term ASR compliance. This method was verified by applying it to experimental data. Furthermore, a method is proposed for determining the applicability of the ASR method prior to its application in the field by using the depth and the value of
E
50.
The Late Cretaceous to early Paleogene evolution of the Ryoke-Izumi belt is examined using apatite and zircon fission-track (FT) dating of the Sennan Rhyolites, the Takijiri Adamellite, and the Izumi ...Group in the Izumi Mountains, southwestern Japan, together with pre-existing geochronological data and interpretation of geologic structures. The results reveal that the geology of the area can be divided into three blocks on the basis of different cooling histories and east-west-trending boundary faults; namely, blocks A, B, and C from south to north. Block A consists mainly of the Izumi Group, which accumulated over a part of the Sennan Rhyolites and the Takijiri Adamellite at 70.9 ± 3.4 Ma (zircon FT weighted mean age of pyroclastic rocks of the Izumi Group). Previously determined K-feldspar K-Ar ages of the Takijiri Adamellite of Block A (around 66 Ma) record the age of uplift of this block. Block B includes most of the Sennan Rhyolites, which erupted from 85.0 ± 5.2 Ma to 80.0 ± 11.2 Ma (zircon and apatite FT ages of a tuffaceous sample of the Sennan Rhyolites). The Sennan Rhyolites were also partly thermally metamorphosed by the Takijiri Adamellite and cooled before 73.9 ± 8.2 Ma (zircon FT age of a nontuffaceous sample of the Sennan Rhyolites). Block C includes the Takijiri Adamellite, which was exposed on the northern side of the faults after 50.0 ± 6.6 Ma (apatite FT age). The Sennan Rhyolites in Block B were not thermally affected by subsidence of the Izumi sedimentary basin (ISB), indicating that the ISB was formed at 71 Ma as a transtensional pull-apart basin by the subsidence of Block A. The subsequent rapid uplift of the Izumi Group and of the Takijiri Adamellite of Block A at 66 Ma was probably caused by reverse faulting under transpression.
