Thorough checks are conducted for the ranked institutions in each subject but where fewer than five institutions for the country in question are present in a given subject ranking, we have included the runners up - these are presented in grey. In many cases, these institutions beyond the published ranking, owe their position to relatively low amounts of data (which is why the ranking itself are truncated) and whether or not the institution operates degree programs in that subject may not have been verified. Nonetheless it has been found useful in the context of a country report to present these additional data. At the tail end of a table institutions can appear in dsiciplines they are not very active in due to very strong profiles in "neighbouring" subjects. Since the All Science Journal Classification (ASJC) system operates at a journal level an institution strong in Chemistry can appear in Chemical Engineering for example. Within ranked ranges the existence of qualifying programs is personally checked by a member of the QSIU team - but this is not always practical for the hundreds of entries falling outside the range. At time of writing the QSIU team have manually verified the operation of programs in over 15,000 subject institution intersections.

We performed a cross-sectional study to clarify the associations between salt load index (urinary sodium- to-potassium ratio (Na/K ratio)), current disease activity, and hypertension in an RA population. Methods: Three hundred thirty-six participants from our cohort database (KURAMA) were enrolled. We used the spot urine Na/K ratio as a simplified index of salt loading and used the 28-Joint RA Disease Activity Score (DAS28- ESR) as an indicator of current RA disease activity. Using these indicators, we evaluated statistical associations between urinary Na/K ratio, DAS28-ESR, and prevalence of hypertension. Results: Urinary Na/K ratio was positively associated with measured systolic and diastolic blood pressure and also with prevalence of hypertension even after covariate adjustment (OR 1.34, p < 0.001). In addition, increased urinary Na/K ratio was significantly and positively correlated with DAS28-ESR in multiple regression analysis (estimate 0.12, p < 0.001), as was also the case in gender-separated and prednisolone-separated sub-analyses.

  • Facilities Are Enhancing Research Quality
    University Establishments Facilities are Enhancing Research Quality One of the key elements of the internationally lauded accomplishments of our researchers is 智the university’s state-of-the-art laboratories and research facilities. Meteorology MU Radar Observations Atmospheric Turbulence In collaboration with a French research group, we conducted an extensive study on the small-scale dynamics of the lower atmosphere. The study aims to characterize atmospheric turbulence, its sources and its interactions with large- scale dynamics and clouds by means of remote sensing and in situ observations. The Middle and Upper atmosphere (MU) radar of the Research Institute for Sustainable Humanosphere (RISH) is one of the most suitable instruments for detecting turbulence and stable interfaces throughout the entire MU Radar troposphere at any time, irrespective of clear or cloudy conditions. In turbulence observations, excellent spatial and temporal resolutions can be achieved through a range-imaging technique using frequency diversity. In recent years, all the measurement campaigns have involved the MU radar in range-imaging mode with complementary instruments (e.g. radiosondes, Rayleigh-Mie lidars, ultra high frequency [UHF] and meteorological radars) for validating the technique in turbulence studies. The bottom figure shows an example of a time-height cross section of echo power obtained using the MU radar in range-imaging mode on 8 October 2008. We found Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) braided-like structures along the slope of a cloud base gradually rising with time at an altitude of approximately 5 km, and vertical air motion oscillations exceeding ±3 m/s with a period of approximately 3 min above and below the cloud base.

  • An Analysis of Elliptical Phenomena Based on Non-Constituent Deletion
    An Analysis of Elliptical Phenomena Based on Non-Constituent Deletion by Daisuke Hirai B. A., Kyoto University of Foreign Studies, 1997 M. S., University of Wisconsin-River Falls, 1999 A Dissertation Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy to Kansai Gaidai University 2018 Acknowledgements It is hardly a trivial task to properly acknowledge everyone who has helped me during my research and reach this point. Without their help, this dissertation would never have come into existence or taken shape as it is. First and foremost, I would like to thank Yukio Oba, my thesis supervisor. He has given me a lot of advice and constant encouragement since I was a graduate student at Nagoya University. I am very fortunate that he invited me to study at Kansai Gaidai University and work on this topic to complete this dissertation. It has been a great pleasure to study under his guidance. I cannot thank him enough for reading my rough draft and giving me a lot of comments on it. I would also like to thank the other members of the committee, Nobuo Okada, Kansai Gaidai University, and Sadayuki Okada, Osaka University for reading my paper and giving me a lot of valuable comments. Their comments helped me look into more ellipsis-related examples. This will lead me to work on another topic as a next step. I would also like to acknowledge the past and present members of the graduate school of Kansai Gaidai University, Jun Omune and Shota Tanaka for reading my first version of this dissertation and their comments on it.

  • University of Tsukuba at a Glance
    Maps and Data University of Tsukuba At a Glance 2019 Academic Year (Apr. 1 - Mar. 31) 1 HISTORY & CREST & SLOGAN ■ History Since its inception in Tsukuba Science City in 1973, the University of Tsukuba has offered a comprehensive curriculum of education, covering everything from literature and science to fine arts and physical education. Although the university’s roots stretch back much further than 40 years; its origins lie in the Normal School, the first of its kind in Japan, established in 1872 on the former site of Shoheizaka Gakumonjo. The school was renamed several times over the years, eventually becoming Tokyo Higher Normal School before incorporating four institutions—Tokyo Higher Normal School, Tokyo University of Literature and Science, Tokyo College of Physical Education, and Tokyo College of Agricultural Education—in 1949 to become the Tokyo University of Education, the forerunner to today’s University of Tsukuba. ■ Crest The University of Tsukuba’s “five-and-three paulownia” crest derives from the emblem adopted by Tokyo Higher Normal School students in 1903 for their school badge, which was inherited by the Tokyo University of Education in 1949. Later, in 1974, the University Council officially approved the crest as the school insignia of the University of Tsukuba. The “five-and-three paulownia” design is based on a traditional Japanese motif, but brings a unique variation to the classic style: the University of Tsukuba crest is different because only the outline of the leaves is depicted. The color of the crest is CLASSIC PURPLE, the official color of the University of Tsukuba. ■ Slogan (Japanese) 開かれた未来へ。 Since its inception, the University of Tsukuba’s philosophy has been one of openness as we seek to forge a better future through education, research, and all other aspects of academia.
