Hooper, Chair This dissertation examines the trans-Pacific activism of the World's Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) and its overseas affiliates, particularly the Japanese Union. Unlike many previous studies oftransnational women's activities that focus on trans-Atlantic interactions and Western women, this research highlights the agency of Asian women and transnational exchanges of women in the United States, Japan, China, and otherAsian nations. Through the analysis of the multidirectional and multilayered flows of institutions, ideology, and practices of social reforms from the United States to Asia, from Asia to the United States, and within Asia, this study demonstrates how Vlll American and Asian women negotiated the assumed universal applicability of American style reform plans, challenged prescriptions about power and hierarchy, and yet still strived to construct a transnational sisterhood despite their own nationalistic concerns. Even though the WCTU women ostensibly promoted global sisterhood under the maternalistic slogan, "organized mother's love," the networks of the WCTU developed hand in hand with imperialism promoted by male leaders. Its close identification with realpolitik often left power relations and hierarchies untouched and even reproduced ideas about the center and margin along the lines of imperialism ­ as evidenced by Western women's domination and peripherization of Asians in an international women's community and by Japanese women's self-acclaimed leadership in Asia. The trans-Pacific sisterhood developed with tensions of racism, imperialism, rivalry, and resistance to colonization. By treating women of both America and Asia as active agents in global interactions, this dissertation examines both the strength and weakness of the trans·Pacific sisterhood through analysis of what elements hindered them from constructing an international sense of"we," and how, ifat all, they overcame them from the late 19th century to the end of World War II. IX ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Throughout the course of this project, I have received generous support and heart-warming encouragement from many institutions and individuals. Although I have spent many solitary hours at a computer writing, this dissertation is the product of cooperation with my mentors, friends, and family on both sides of the Pacific Ocean and on an island in the middle of it. I express my special thanks to Professor Paul F. Hooper, my chair. He introduced me to the world of trans·Pacific interactions and stimulated me to explore private segments of diplomacy. Professor Mari Yoshihara has provided a thorough reading and given me insightful critiques and sound advice. Professor Naoko Shibusawa has been my "cheerleader" and showered me with her intellectual passion. I am also deeply grateful to other committee members; Professor Mark Helbling and Professor Patricia Steinhofffor commenting astutely on this manuscript. Great encouragement and understanding have been given from outside of the UH campus. I am especially grateful for Professor Shioda Tsutomu of Waseda University who spurred me to study English, go abroad, and look at Japan "from the outside" when I was an undergraduate student of Japanese History at Waseda. Professor Utsumi Takashi ofTokyo University of Foreign Studies and Professor Harriet Alonso of City College of New York showed great interest in my project and encouraged me to keep up my work. lowe great debts to Takahashi Kikue, Yamaya Shinko, and Kuriki Junko of x the Japanese Woman's Christian Temperance Union, Kawada Sadako of the Jiairyo, Segawa Kazuo and Nohara Kenji of the Kobokan, and Ikeda Michiko of the Airinkan for allowing me to interview them and quote from materials in their collections. Their wishes to pass on their past experiences to the next generation impressed me and implanted a sense of responsibility as a scholar to immortalize the many forgotten heroes who might otherwise sink into oblivion. The staff at Imadegawa Library and the Faculty of Theology of Doshisha University, Flora Lamson Hewlett Library of Graduate Theological Union, and Rev. Dr. Theodore T. Ogoshi Memorial Archives of Makiki Christian Church generously allowed me to access their collections. Tokiko Yamamoto Bazzell of Hamilton Library, University of Hawai'i at Manoa, broke the deadlock of my research by introducing me to rare documents that I would have never encountered without her. William K. Beatty and Virginia L. Beatty of Frances E. Willard Memorial Library patiently assisted me over years of visits and queries. They also made my research trip pleasurable and productive by taking me out for lunch and coffer breaks, and arranging a special tour to the Rest Cottage that had long been a center of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. William passed away in December 2001, but he still lives in my memory. I have been blessed with many friends since I came to Hawai'i. Among those in Hawai'i with whom I had parties, dinners, coffees, conversations, arguments, tears and laughs were Parichat Jungwiwattanaporn, Monobe Hiromi, Mori Akiko, Tsuzuki Hiroko, Heather Diamond, Nitta Toshitake, Edward Kim, Yonezawa Shioko, Li Jinzhao, William W. Dressler, and many more. They have doubled my joy, halved my sorrow, and Xl have changed Honolulu from a foreign town to a place dear to my heart. Despite my decade-long absence, I have enjoyed friendship and many forms of support in Japan. In particular, I am especially thankful to Hatakeyama Satoshi who has offered crucial encouragement and academic support at various stages along the way. I would also like to acknowledge Hayashi Hideki who took time out from busy schedule and taught me the value of trans-Pacific friendship.

HaneVEER MSc Thesis Aerospace Engineering Orbital lifetime predictions An assessment of model-based ballistic coecient estimations and adjustment for temporal drag coecient variations by M.R. Haneveer to obtain the degree of Master of Science at the Delft University of Technology, to be defended publicly on Thursday June 1, 2017 at 14:00 PM. Student number: 4077334 Project duration: September 1, 2016 – June 1, 2017 Thesis committee: Dr. ir. E. N. Doornbos, TU Delft, supervisor Dr. ir. E. J. O. Schrama, TU Delft ir. K. J. Cowan MBA TU Delft An electronic version of this thesis is available at http://repository.tudelft.nl/. Summary Objects in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) experience low levels of drag due to the interaction with the outer layers of Earth’s atmosphere. The atmospheric drag reduces the velocity of the object, resulting in a gradual decrease in altitude. With each decayed kilometer the object enters denser portions of the atmosphere accelerating the orbit decay until eventually the object cannot sustain a stable orbit anymore and either crashes onto Earth’s surface or burns up in its atmosphere. The capability of predicting the time an object stays in orbit, whether that object is space junk or a satellite, allows for an estimate of its orbital lifetime - an estimate satellite op- erators work with to schedule science missions and commercial services, as well as use to prove compliance with international agreements stating no passively controlled object is to orbit in LEO longer than 25 years.

    Market, Medicine, and Empire: Hoshi Pharmaceuticals in the Interwar Years Timothy M. Yang Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Timothy M. Yang All rights reserved ABSTRACT Market, Medicine, and Empire: Hoshi Pharmaceuticals in the Interwar Years Timothy M. Yang This dissertation examines the connections between global capitalism, modern medicine, and empire through a close study of Hoshi Pharmaceuticals during the interwar years. As one of the leading drug companies in East Asia at the time, Hoshi embodied Japan's imperial aspirations, rapid industrial development, and burgeoning consumer culture. The company attempted to control every part of its supply and distribution chain: it managed plantations in the mountains of Taiwan and Peru for growing coca and cinchona (the raw material for quinine) and contracted Turkish poppy farmers to supply raw opium for government-owned refineries in Taiwan. Hoshi also helped shape modern consumer culture in Japan and its colonies, and indeed, became an emblem for it. At its peak in the early 1920s, Hoshi had a network of chain stores across Asia that sold Hoshi-brand patent medicines, hygiene products, and household goods. In 1925, however, the company's fortunes turned for the worse when an opium trading violation raised suspicions of Hoshi as a front for the smuggling of narcotics through Manchuria and China. Although the company was a key supplier of medicines to Japan's military during World War Two, it could not financially recover from the fallout of the opium scandal.

  • Women's Magazines and the Democratization of Print
    WOMEN’S MAGAZINES AND THE DEMOCRATIZATION OF PRINT AND READING CULTURE IN INTERWAR JAPAN by Shiho Maeshima A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (Asian Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2016 © Shiho Maeshima, 2016 Abstract This dissertation reconsiders the significance of a periodical genre hitherto marginalized in academia, namely, the Japanese mass-market women’s magazine, in the history of print/reading culture in modern Japan. The study also aims to investigate the interrelations among magazine genres, gender categories, and the formation of cultural hierarchy. Analysis of diverse periodicals from the late 19th century to the 1930s, their contemporary commentaries and various surveys reveals that, around the turn of the 20th century, magazine genres became increasingly gendered in terms of their formats, editing styles, content, and readership: magazines for adults evolved into either “serious” general magazines for men concerning “public” matters or “vulgar” women’s magazines on “light” issues related to the “domestic” sphere. It was the latter magazine genre that led to the democratization of print/reading culture in interwar Japan. Inclusion of various article genres written in highly colloquial styles, extensive use of visuals, stress on entertainment and people’s private lives, and increasing collaboration with other industries, were to become common practices among Japanese periodicals after WWII. The new editing style also contributed to the spread of a new reading style in Japan. With its accessible editorial and promotional styles, the interwar mass-market women’s magazine attracted readers from a wide range of ages and social classes, including men, and functioned as the “transfeminized” entertaining home magazine.

  • Small Satellite Doldrums
    25 Years of Small Satellites AC4/5 MISSION Siegfried Janson The Aerospace Corporation Presented August 9, 2011 © The Aerospace© The Aerospace Corporation Corporation 2010 2011 Microsatellite Launch History: Last 25 years Microsatellite launch rates rose rapidly in the early 1960’s, and peaked in 1965. Non-Strela microsatellite launch rates hit bottom from 1977 to 1987; the “Small 2 Satellite Doldrums”. They’ve recovered over the past 25 years. Nanosatellite Launch History: About 3 nanosatellites were launched per year during the first decade of space exploration. Launch rates hit zero between 1972 to 1989, but stabilized at ~2 per year 3 through 2002. The CubeSat paradigm has enabled a rapid rise in launch rates. Picosatellite Launch History: Only two active picosatellites were flown before 2000. The Stanford Orbiting Picosatellite Automated Launcher (OPAL) ejected 6 picosatellites into orbit, kicking- st 4 off a 21 century return of picosatellites and the CubeSat Era. Small Satellite Launch History: The First 30 years • The 1960’s: Boom and Bust - Small satellite launch rates rapidly increase in early 1960’s as the Space Age unfolds - Small satellite launch rates decrease in latter half of decade as launch vehicle throw weight capability increases and satellites get bigger (on average). • The 1970’s: Soviet Microsatellites Dominate - Strela-1M constellation deployed; it eventually requires over 300 spacecraft - Western small satellite launch rates continue to decline as satellites grow in size • The 1980’s: Small Satellite Doldrums (1977-1987) - No nanosatellites or picosatellites launched - Less than 5 Western microsatellites launched per year - DARPA initiates LightSat program; holds workshop in 1987 - First AIAA/USU Small Satellite Conference in 1987 - “Doldrums” end in 1987 By 1986, the Soviet Union was actively launching military communications microsatellites, but the rest of the world was experiencing a dearth of new small 5 satellites.
