  • 1991-10: Hidetsugu Yagi
    When I Think Back... by Neville Williams Hidetsugu Yagi: A pioneer who gave radio antennas a sense of direction Look up the word `Yagi' in almost any book on radio communications, and you will be told that it refers to directional antennas of a particular kind. Rarely do the authors have much to say about the Japanese inventor, whose memory it perpetuates. So who was he, and why does his name now occupy such a conspicuous place in the predominantly 'western' jargon of modern electronics? In my younger days, it took a while in an approved manner, cut to specified UHF bands & equipment to catch up with the idea of designing dimensions and coupled to the transmit- wireless/radio antennas to have specific ter and receiver in a particular way.

By using this website you agree to our Cookie Policy Translate this page Spanish Microsoft® Translator HIGHFIELDS AMATEUR RADIO CLUB INNOVATORS PAGES. PROFESSOR HIDETSUGU YAGI. 1886 - 1976. Professor Hidetsugu Yagi was born in year 19 of the Meiji Era (January 28 1886 to you and I) in Osaka prefecture, Japan. I have been unable to discover anything about his early life but he graduated in engineering from Tokyo Imperial University in 1909. After graduating he went to Germany, where he continued his education under the direction of Heinricti Barkhausen, inventor of the Barkhausen oscillator. Yagi's research in Germany concerned resonant transformers used in wireless systems. The outbreak of the First World War forced his hurried departure, leaving all his experimental data behind. He later published a paper on the theoretical part of this research in the December 1917 Proceedings of the Institute of Radio Engineers. Yagi had fled Germany to Great Britain where he studied with John A. Fleming until 1916. Before returning to Japan, Yagi visited the United States and spent some time at Harvard University with George W. Pierce. Yagi then began his teaching career at Tohoku Imperial University, which awarded him a doctorate in engineering in 1919. At Tohoku University, Yagi initiated a research program in radio-electronics, drawing on the knowledge that he had learned with Barkhausen, Fleming, and Pierce. Other members of the faculty and advanced students, including Okabe and Shintaro Uda, became participants in a collective research effort. A perceived need for better communication between islands and with ships led them to focus on short wave communication with directive antennas.

Nous structurons notre démonstration en quatre grandes parties suivant une approche stratégique de tradition descriptive, principalement inspirée par l'école de l'environnement. Au cours des trois premières parties, nous exposerons et débâterons des mutations d’un environnement général que nous aborderons à travers trois dimensions : une dimension technologique, une dimension sociale et une dimension économique et réglementaire qui sera également l’occasion d’étudier les effets de l’environnement général sur les sphères industrielles et concurrentielles.

  • On Shinzō Abe's Educational Reforms
    On Shinzō Abe’s Educational Reforms: Remolding Ideal Human Beings in the Age of Empire by Joseph L. Clark B.A., University of Victoria, 2013 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of Pacific and Asian Studies © Joseph L. Clark, 2018 University of Victoria All rights reserved. This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. ii On Shinzō Abe’s Educational Reforms; Remolding Ideal Human Beings in the Age of Empire by Joseph L. Clark B.A., University of Victoria, 2013 Supervisory Committee Dr. Katsuhiko Endo, Supervisor Department of Pacific and Asian Studies Dr. Hiroko Noro, Departmental Member Department of Pacific and Asian Studies iii ABSTRACT This study examines educational reform in Japan since 2006, when the first Abe administration added objectives to increase “love for the country” and “respect for tradition and culture” into Japan’s central edict on education. The Japanese education system has since been internationally criticized by academics and journalists as furthering a neonationalist revisionist history movement, but the initiative to remove ‘masochistic views’ of history from education is only one aspect of the reforms. This thesis argues that Prime Minister Abe’s educational reforms attempt to meet related demands coming from both the global and domestic environments. In fact, a close examination of Japanese educational reforms since the 2006 Basic Act reveals a strategic response to the new technologies and changing security environment of the Information Age, as well as an effort to make students think of themselves as members of a national community.

Työn historiakatsauksessa perehdytään 1900- ja 2000-luvun gadget -laitteisiin. Gadget on pieni mekaaninen tai elektroninen laite, jolla on jokin käyttötarkoitus. Japani on viimeisen sadan vuoden aikana tuottanut lukuisia merkittäviä gadgetteja. Tunnetuimpina saavutuksina voidaan esimerkiksi pitää CD- ja DVD -levyjä sekä useita tunnettuja pelikonsoleita. Viime vuosina se on saanut kilpailijoita Itä-Aasiasta. Tulevaisuudessa voidaan mahdollisesti odottaa matkapuhelimiin liittyviä gadgetteja, entistä tarkempia ja taivuteltavia näyttöjä sekä tämänhetkisiä gadgetteja yhdisteleviä laitteita. ii ABSTRACT Lappeenranta University of Technology School of Industrial Engineering and Management Degree Program in Computer Science Toni Martikainen History of Asian gadgets and a glance to the future Bachelor’s Thesis 30 pages, 12 figures, 1 table, 1 appendices Examiner: D.Sc.

In different contexts this can be defined in different ways, including the capacities for abstract thought, understanding, communication, reasoning, learning, planning, emotional intelligence and problem solving. Intelligence is most widely studied in humans, but is also observed in animals and plants. Artificial intelligence is the intelligence of machines or the simulation of intelligence in machines. Numerous definitions of and hypotheses about intelligence have been proposed since before the twentieth century, with no consensus reached by scholars. Within the discipline of psychology, various approaches to human intelligence have been adopted. The psychometric approach is especially familiar to the general public, as well as being the most researched and by far the most widely used in practical settings.[1] History of the term Intelligence derives from the Latin verb intelligere which derives from inter-legere meaning to "pick out" or discern.
