  • T He Sp Lendour of the Middle Jo M on C Ulture
    * 42 Ilona Bausch THE SPLENDOUR OF THE MIDDLE JOMON CULTURE: ULTURE CERAMICS FROM THE CENTRAL JAPANESE HIGHLANDS C The Japanese Jomon period, characterised by a prehistoric hunter- gatherer society with a vigorous material culture, is particularly noted for its long-lasting ceramic traditions. Currently enjoying great popularity in ON Japan, the Jomon culture remains largely unknown in Europe. This is due to its absence from most Japanese collections outside Japan – despite the M efforts of several European museums in the 2000s to invite temporary exhibitions with representative Jomon ‘national treasures’ loaned from O various Japanese museums.1 As it is impossible to do full justice to the J regional and temporal diversity within the Jomon culture, this essay will introduce the most salient general aspects before focusing on the the Highlands in Central Honshu, an area that produced distinctive ceramics with evocative designs during the Middle Jomon phase (circa 3520-2470 BC) – to provide a glimpse into the variety of Jomon forms and iconography. A general background to the Jomon period (13,350-400 BC) The first inhabitants of Japan, and probable ancestors of the Jomon, were modern humans who arrived in the archipelago during the Late Pleistocene Ice Ages, about 40,000 to 35,000 years ago, via Okinawa and Hokkaido. They discovered local stone sources for manufacturing hunting tools, including obsidian (a volcanic glass highly suitable for sharp-edged tools such as spear points), and traded them over long distances. Around 16,500 years ago, nomadic hunters in Japan first started making pottery. This is one of the world’s oldest ceramic traditions, roughly contemporaneous to, but probably independent from similar developments in China and Siberia.2 The added possibilities for cooking and storage proved to be a great boon, and pottery vessels soon became a permanent feature, making up a large proportion of finds at any Jomon excavation.

  • Modelling Global Fresh Surface Water Temperature
    Modelling global fresh surface water temperature Tessa Eikelboom MSc Thesis Physical Geography May 2010 Supervisors: Dr. L.P.H. van Beek and Prof. Dr. Ir. M.F.P. Bierkens Department of Physical Geography Faculty of Geosciences Utrecht University 1 ABSTRACT A change in fresh surface water temperature influences biological and chemical parameters such as oxygen and nutrient availability, but also has major effects on hydrological and physical processes which include transport, sediment concentration, ice formation and ice melt. The thermal profile of fresh surface waters depends on meteorological and morphological characteristics. Climate change influences the water and energy budget and thereby also the thermal structure of fresh surface waters. The oceans temperature is influenced by the inflow of rivers and streams. The variations in fresh surface water temperatures are only known for a scarce amount of long term temperature records. The understanding of changes in thermal processes by modelling the variations in temperature over time is therefore very useful to simulate the global effect of climate change on water temperatures. A physical based model was validated with regional daily and global monthly water temperature data of fresh surface water which includes both rivers and lakes. The basic assumption for the PCR‐GLOBWB model is the assumption that the fresh surface water temperature is the net result of all incoming en outgoing fluxes. The global hydrological model PCR‐GLOBWB contains a water and heat budget. The heat balance is solved using the following terms: short‐wave insolation, long‐wave atmospheric radiation, water‐surface backscatter, evaporation, air/water conduction and can be simplified into lateral and advective energy.

Of these species, T. hakonensis is widely distributed in Japan and is important in commercial and recreational fisheries. Two species, T. hakonensis and T. brandtii, exhibit anadromy. In this paper, information on the protistan and metazoan parasites of the four species of Tribolodon in Japan is compiled based on the literature published for 106 years between 1908 and 2013, and the parasites, including 44 named species and those not identified to species level, are listed by higher taxon as follows: Ciliophora (2 named species), Myxozoa (1), Trematoda (18), Monogenea (0), Cestoda (3), Nematoda (9), Acanthocephala (2), Hirudinida (1), Mollusca (1), Branchiura (0), Copepoda (6 ), and Isopoda (1). For each taxon of parasite, the following information is given: its currently recognized scientific name, previous identification used for the parasite occurring in or on Tribolodon spp.; habitat (freshwater, brackish, or marine); site(s) of infection within or on the host; known geographical distribution in Japan; and the published source of each locality record.

""! ! Dissertation Advisor: Professor Andrew Gordon Michael Alan Thornton Settling Sapporo: City and State in the Global Nineteenth Century Abstract In this thesis, I investigate the role of citybuilding in the colonization of Japan’s northernmost island, Hokkaido, during the nineteenth century. Using archival sources from the United States and Japan, I explore five spatial strategies deployed by the Japanese state to assert its control over the region: planning for a new capital; mapping the city; encouraging and controlling migration to the city; administering the city; and modeling new forms of agricultural practice in the city for use throughout the wider colony. I consider the debates and contests that characterized all these strategies, and illustrate their importance in turning Sapporo from a riverside outpost of two houses into the indisputed capital of the region.

Email: [email protected] Abstract Thirty-eight species of oligochaetes (Annelida, Clitellata) belonging to five families were recorded from profundal bottoms of 50 freshwater lakes on Japanese islands. They were mostly widely distributed species, and the composition of fauna is basically explained by the scheme of Timm (2012), with parallel replacement of European species. Oxygen, temperature and surrounding fauna could be main factors determining the profundal fauna in the lakes. The lumbriculids (Styloscolex japonicus, Yamaguchia toyensis and Lumbriculus variegatus), haplotaxids (Haplotaxis gordioides) and enchytraeids (Marionina klaskisharum) were restricted to several deep and oligotrophic lakes located in Hokkaido and northern Honshu, where Rhyacodrilus komarovi often accompanied them. Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri was the commonest species, occurring irrespective of the trophic status and bottom temperature of the lake. Tubifex tubifex also occurred in wide trophic scale, but it has never been found in shallow eutrophic lakes where the bottom temperature exceeds 15°C, where L. hoffmeisteri,
