  • Setsuro Tamaru and Fritz Haber: Links Between Japan and Germany In
    Essay DOI: 10.1002/tcr.201402086 Setsuro Tamaru and Fritz Haber: Links THE CHEMICAL between Japan and Germany in Science RECORD and Technology Hideko Tamaru Oyama Department of Chemistry, Rikkyo University, 3-34-1 Nishi-Ikebukuro, Toshima-ku, Tokyo 171-8501 (Japan), Tel./Fax: (+81) 3-3985-2363, E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Setsuro Tamaru was my grandfather. He worked with Fritz Haber in Germany on researching the ammonia synthesis process and contributed substantially to the development of scientific research and education in Japan. Although I had never met him, I felt his existence while I grew up, since our house was built by him and had many artifacts brought back from Germany by my grandfather; e.g., a Bechstein upright piano upon which I practiced piano every day and Fritz Haber’s portrait with his handwritten message hung on the wall. This is an account of my grandfather’s life, concentrating on his relationship with Fritz Haber. This story goes back to a time more than a century ago. 1. Early Years in Japan (1879∼1908) Setsuro Tamaru (1879∼1944), shown in Figure 1, was born on November 1, 1879, in Morioka, a region in the northern part of the main island, Honshu, Japan. He was the fourth son of a former clansman of the Nambu clan, Juro (father, 1848∼1892), and Shin (mother, 1850∼1941). His father died when he was 12 years old so his eldest brother, Kinya,[1] sup- ported the big family (his mother, grandmother Koto, and six siblings)[2] by working as a schoolteacher.

Around 45 people attended the Bristol meeting on the History of Particle Colliders, in April. It was a joint meeting between the History of Physics Group, the High Energy Physics Group, and the Particle Accelerators and Beams Group. With a joint membership of around 2000, that works out at well under 3% - and that was a good turnout. The Rutherford’s Chemists meeting held in Glasgow attracted probably a similar percentage - not very high you might think. But time and travel costs to attend come at a premium so any means by which the content of our meetings may be promulgated - reports in our newsletter and in those of the other groups - is a very worthwhile task.

  • 2012 Peace Proposal
    2012 Peace Proposal Human Security and Sustainability: Sharing Reverence for the Dignity of Life by Daisaku Ikeda President, Soka Gakkai International January 26, 2012 Motivated by the quest for a global society of peace and coexistence, I have, every year since 1983, issued a peace proposal commemorating January 26, the day that the Soka Gakkai International (SGI) was founded in 1975. The present proposal will thus be the thirtieth such proposal. The members of the SGI throughout the world are committed to the work of constructing--through a movement for peace, education and culture--a global society in which the dignity of each person shines and all people can live in security. The spiritual foundations for this effort are found in the philosophy of Buddhism which reverences the inherent value and dignity of life. Specifically, we are inspired by the fervent desire expressed by second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda (1900-58): "I wish to see the word 'misery' no longer used to describe the world, any country, any individual." [1] Sadly, the planet continues to be wracked by violent conflict and civil unrest; people around the world face unacceptable threats to their lives and dignity in the form of poverty, hunger and environmental destruction, while the suffering caused by human rights violations and discrimination remains widespread. Further, there has been the wrenching spectacle of natural disasters that instantly rob people of their lives, disrupting and undermining the foundations of entire societies. Recent years have seen a series of major natural disasters, from the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami in 2004 to the massive earthquake in Haiti in 2010, exacting a horrific toll in human life.

One of the products of modernity that circulated through the new periodicals was that of celebrity – the new movie stars but also the stars of theatre, opera, radio, and, under certain conditions, contemporary artists and writers too. This paper will use Australian papers from the inter-war years to explore just how writers could be presented as celebrities in the contemporary press compared to other kinds of celebrity, and how Australian writers might be presented alongside more famous figures from overseas. David Carter is Visiting Professor of Australian Studies in the Center for Pacific and American Studies at the University of Tokyo (2016-2017) and Professor of Australian Literature and Cultural History at the University of Queensland. His research is focused in the areas of book history, publishing, periodical studies, and studies of modernity. His most recent book is Always Almost Modern: Australian Print Cultures and Modernity and he has recently completed a major study of the history of Australian books and authors in the USA. 15.00 – 16.00 Capricious Captioning and Narrative Instability: Hugh Lofting’s Doctor Dolittle Newspaper Illustrations Peter Robinson (Japan Women’s University) Hugh Lofting’s most famous literary creation, Doctor John Dolittle, a kindly, middle-aged man capable of conversing with animals, was first introduced to the American reading public in The Story of Doctor Dolittle in 1920.

Today, RIKEN is a major international institute conducting research in a wide area of natural science including nuclear physics, material science, green chemistry, brain science, developmental biology, plant science, genomics, immunology, medicine, computer and computational science, artificial intelligence, and mathematics, with facilities both in Japan and overseas, and a staff of more than 3,000 people. However, there is a long history behind this development. This book provides both a record of the people who founded and helped RIKEN prosper, as well as insights into some of the important discoveries that were made during its first century. The bulk of the work on the English version was done in the autumn and winter of 2018, based on the monu- mental three-volume, 1,500-page Japanese history that was written for the Centennial in 2017.

  • •Section 3 Future Improvements to the STI Policy ~ to Overcome The
    Keyword: Chapter 2 Reforming the STI (Science, Technology and Innovation) Policy in order to Form a Robust and Resilient Society 2 Toward Renewing Society’s Trust in S&T Japan was hit by an earthquake and tsunami of an unexpected magnitude and nuclear power plant, which was a fruit of Japan’s knowledge and technology, was seriously damaged during the accident. This made us realize that our good and easy life with the use of S&T is always adjacent to risks. In order to overcome the issues raised by the GEJE and to build a robust and resilient society, we need to formulate Chapter 2 a policy which enables us to respond to various risks produced by the development of S&T. In this section, we will first outline the development of S&T and the accompanying risks and uncertainties. Then, we will explain that in recent times Japanese Government is required to make decisions on complex and highly sophisticated policy issues, related to these risks and uncertainties. We will then consider the scientific advice in policy making taking the systems of the US and UK as an example. On that basis, we will illustrate various approaches to gain the broad consensus of our society through sincere dialogue concerning S&T accompanied by risks, and will describe agenda to implement the approaches. (1) The Development of S&T Accompanied by Risks S&T have so far brought about material wealth to people’s lives and promoted employment opportunities by creating new industries. It exerted great impact on progress of society.
