Stochastic transient Liquid-Solid Phase Separation reveals multi-level Dispersion States of Particles in Suspension
Authors: Gane Patrick , Dimic-Misic Katarina , Hummel Michael , Welker Matthias , Rentsch Samuel 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Wall slip or, more usually, liquid-solid phase separation at the boundary wall when measuring the rheological properties of particulate suspensions is normally considered an undesirable source of error. However, exclusion of a structure consisting of multiple particulates at a planar boundary can, in turn, reveal the nature of that structure and the way it interacts with other elements in the dispersion. Using a system of surface-treated ground calcite particles, designed to control lyophilicity, dispersed, respectively, in two comparative liquids, hexadecane (dispersive surface tension component only) and linseed oil (both dispersive and polar surface tension components), the relative wettability of the particulate surface can be studied. The static state is viscoelastic, with the elastic component reflecting the network of interacting forces acting to structure the particles together and/or to trap liquid within the long-range particle-particle matrix. As strain is applied under plate-plate geometry, selected aggregate structures become size-excluded at the wall, leading to a loss of shear coupling with the bulk polydisperse suspension. At high strain, given optimal solids content, this results in a stochastic transition between two discrete stress data sets, i.e. that with full shear coupling and that with only partial coupling. Stress recovery is subsequently monitored as strain is step-wise reduced, and the progress toward loss of the stochastic transient phenomenon, together with its parallel change in magnitude, is used to describe the re-formation of primary agglomerates. Cessation of the phase separation indicates re-build of the close-to-static structure. Under certain conditions it is observed that the cessation may be accompanied by a secondary relaxation of state, indicating the build of a secondary but weaker structure, likened to the well-known dual-level flocculation in aqueous colloidal suspension. Rheo-optical observations using small angle light scattering illumination (SALS) are used to confirm a structure model switching from static (uncoupled with shear) to rotating (fully coupled to the boundary-defined shear) and finally uniformly sheared.

Published: June 2019

Abstract

Yōsōki (Records about a Creepy Monk, 1902) is a lesser-known short story of Izumi Kyōka, one of the most popular writers of the Meiji period. Kyōka, known for his fantastic, pictorial and folksy stories, belonged to the renowned literary circle Kenyūsha, founded by Ozaki Kōyō, that committed itself to light fiction and firmly rejected didactically motivated literature. The story Yōsōki presented here for the first time in German translation, stands prototypically in the tradition of the fantastic-aesthetic literature characteristic for Kyōka’s writing.
Die geheimen Lehrschriften zur Duft-Kunst (Kōdō hidensho) – Ästhetik und Praxis der Duft-Kunst in der Edo-Zeit
Authors: Vogel Benedikt 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
The Incense Ceremony is one of Japans traditional arts. After the early court enjoyed fragrance and incense in a playful manner (as documented by sources dating back as far as the early eighth century), it evolved during the fifteenth century into a complex ceremony. The moment of olfactory perception turned into a strict ritual, which combined performative as well as ornamental constituents. In the following Edo period (1603–1868) the Incense Ceremony is characterized by a significant rise in popularity, marked by a growing number of practitioners, who used written treatises to teach and transmit practical knowledge about the art. As one of the first printed treatises the Kōdō hidensho 香道秘伝書 (1669) reached wide circulation. Additionally, the number of comments on this specific treatise published in the century following its publication attest to its high status. While there are other treatises focusing on some aspects of the ceremony in more detail, the Kōdō hidensho does provide a solid overview on the ceremony, its material and performative constituents, its games and how they were celebrated. Consisting of nine separate parts in its entirety, the following translation presents the first two.
Das kyōgen-Stück Rōmusha (Die alten Krieger)
Authors: Schürkes Sven 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
This paper presents a translation of the kyōgen play Rōmusha based on the text from the Toraakibon of the Ōkura (mid seventeenth century) school. It features the role of a boy acolyte within the homoerotic tradition of Buddhist temples in premodern Japan. Those boys were usually termed chigo. While there is already a considerable amount of research done on the historic circumstances and literary conventions in other genres, their appearance in kyōgen theater may add fruitful insights and also shed some light on their function in the comical arts. In the recent years Rōmusha has been performed again several times and it offers a vivid, realistic and erotic atmosphere which is rare to be seen in classical kyōgen. The paper aims to illustrate the structure of the play. While the focus is on the role of the chigo, comical aspects of the drama, references to nō theatre and different interpretations and performance practices will also be mentioned.
The Law on Stables and Pastures: an Annotated Translation of the Kyūmokuryō (Sect. 23 of Yōrōryō)
Authors: Manieri Antonio 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
This article proposes a translation of the Kyūmokuryō, or Law on Stables and Pastures, which is included in the Yōrō Era Code (718). It is the oldest extant text to systematically address only bovine and equine species, illustrating how the state protected, promoted, and enhanced their well-being. The Law provides the knowledge required to manage stables and pastures, from the allocation of tasks and duties of staff to feeding modalities (quantity, quality, and times of foraging, consumption of grass, salt, etc.), from annual animal marking and recording procedures to the treatment of illness, loss (and finding), death, mating, and calving/foaling, as well as how private animals may be exploited and the use of animals for military purposes. Historical commentaries and dictionaries have been a valuable resource in preparing the translation, and elements of animal welfare that are regarded as good practice even today are highlighted.
Staging Poetic Balance: A New Introduction to and Translation of the Noh Play Hakurakuten
Authors: Harrison LeRon James 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
The introduction discusses the noh play Hakurakuten in relation to the earlier introduction to and translation of the play by Arthur Waley, the reading of the play by Leo Shingchi Yip, and the concepts of allusion and allusive space advanced by Joseph Pucci. Using Pucci’s concepts, I discuss the allusions to literary texts, cultural practices, and historical events and persons in Hakurakuten in a new manner as well as assess the aspects of the play both Waley and Yip overlook and how Waley and Yip’s readings fit into an allusive space reading of the play. The translation is based on the version of the play appearing in Itō Masayoshi’s annotated volume and incorporates as much as possible the information Itō gives. It contains a translation of the kyōgen interlude, which is important to appreciating the central theme of the play and was left out of the Waley translation. It also contains more footnotes than the earlier Waley translation, notes that point out matters such as puns in language and source material for lines.
Une traduction des fragments du Recueil thématique des enseignements privés Kibi no Makibi 吉備真備 (693–775)
Authors: Defrance Arthur 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
This paper sheds light on a little-known text written by a very well-known figure, Kibi no Makibi (693–775). During the Nara Period (710–794) and with the advent of kentôshi, the Japanese embassies to the Tang, he went to China twice (717–735 and 752–753), first as a student, then as a vice-ambassador. Kibi no Makibi is presumably responsible for bringing back a vast amount of Chinese books to Japan and his influence in shaping the burgeoning Imperial University (Daigakuryô) makes him one of the most important intellectual figures of his time. The examined text, the fragmentary Shikyô-ruijû (Private Teachings Arranged by Topic) written in kanbun (literary sinitic), is the longest extant text by its author, and it is translated and annotated here with a critical discussion regarding its authenticity. It has not received much scholarly attention, although it is probably one of the first texts on education in the history of Japan and the first to-date instance of the genre of « house teachings » (kakun).
The Chronicle of MuchimaroThe Lower Part of the History of the Fujiwara HouseBy the Monk Enkei 延慶
Authors: Bauer Mikaël Philip J. 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
The Chronicle of Muchimaro (Muchimaro den 武智麻呂伝) is the third and final extant part of the History of the Fujiwara House (Tōshi kaden 藤氏家伝), an eighth century history connected with, and partly attributed to, the courtier Fujiwara no Nakamaro (藤原仲麻呂; 706–764), Muchimaro’s son.

For the translations of the first two parts, see Bauer 2017 and Bauer 2018.
Attributed to Enkei, a monk who probably was close to Nakamaro, the text celebrates the virtues and achievements of Muchimaro, a courtier whose life was cut short during the smallpox epidemic of 737. This disaster heavily affected the Fujiwara family and court politics: the four main Fujiwara officials passed away in one year, along with about one-third of the entire population.

Apart from Muchimaro, his three brothers also passed away during the epidemic: Fusasaki 藤原房前 (681–737); Umakai 藤原宇合 (694–737) and Maro 藤原麻呂 (695–737).
One of the consequences of the epidemic was the sudden rise of Tachibana no Moroe after 737 and the subsequent competition between him and Muchimaro’s sons, mainly Nakamaro. The compilation of The History of the Fujiwara House can thus be seen as part of an attempt to reestablish the authority of the Fujiwara line by Nakamaro. The text presents Muchimaro as close to the sovereign and celebrates his virtues as an official by referring to and drawing from a variety of continental sources, a characteristic that can also be discerned in the first two parts of the History.

Simulation algorithms for hierarchical Archimedean copulas beyond the completely monotone case
Authors: Mai Jan-Frederik 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Two simulation algorithms for hierarchical Archimedean copulas in the case when intra-group generators are not necessarily completely monotone are presented. Both generalize existing algorithms for the completely monotone case. The underlying stochastic models for both algorithms arise as a particular instance of a more general probability space studied recently in Ressel, P. (2018): A multivariate version of Williamson’s theorem, ℓ
1-symmetric survival functions, and generalized Archimedean copulas. Depend. Model. 6, 356–368. On this probability space the inter-group dependence need not be Archimedean, however, we highlight two particular circumstances that guarantee that a hierarchical Archimedean copula is obtained.

Published: June 2019

Abstract
Sunflower is one of the most profitable crops in Russia. Research was carried out in a multivariate experiment in two 10-course crop rotations with long stationary monitoring. The influence of the crop rotation type and fertilizer doses on sunflower yield and its economic efficiency were studied. The soil is heavy black soil with low humus content arable in layer – 3.90–4.05 %. It was found that it is appropriate and cost-effectively to introduce N20P30 under a sunflower, and with sufficient provision of soil mobile phosphates it is possible to apply some nitrogen fertilizer at 40 kg per ha.

AbstractIn breeding programs, it is imperative to recognize the genetic variations and levels of association between traits that directly or indirectly affect the yield. Achene yield and related traits in forty-nine sunflower genotypes were studied for genetic variability, correlations and path coefficient analysis. The phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) were higher than the genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) for the all the studied traits in sunflower. The most active association of achene yield was found with achene/head, 100-achene weight and plant height. However, oil contents had a negative association with achene filling percentage, 100-achene weight, number of leaves and stem diameter. The maximum direct influence on achene yield were exerted by head diameter followed by achene filling percentage, 100 achene weight, achene/head and number of leaves. In contrast, plant height, days to maturity and stem diameter had the negative direct impact on yield. The genetic correlations were higher than phenotypic correlations which suggest that environmental influences were very low. Our results showed that achene/head, 100 achene weight, plant height and head diameter are important plant traits which should be considered while planning any breeding program for higher achene yield in sunflower.
Multicycle Study on Chemical Looping Combustion with a CaSO4-CaO Mixed Oxygen Carrier
Authors: Sixu Pu , Min Zheng , Yulou Liu , Zhitong Zhao , Pisupati Sarma 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Chemical looping combustion (CLC) is a carbon capture technology which enables CO2 capture with low net efficiency penalty. Calcium sulfate (CaSO4) is an optional oxygen carrier for commercial use, but its usage is limited due to sulfur dioxide (SO2) emission. This study approaches this issue by adding CaO species into the CaSO4 oxygen carrier to inhibit the release of SO2 from CaSO4 oxygen carrier. In this study, the cyclical tests of a CaSO4-based oxygen carrier under alternating reducing and oxidizing conditions were performed at 900 °C and 800 °C respectively in a tubular furnace reactor at atmospheric pressure. The effects of reducing gas concentration and molar ratio of CaO/CaSO4 on the performance of CaSO4-CaO oxygen carrier were studied in terms of CO2 yields, Environmental factors of SO2 and COS, molar ratios of gas sulfides to CO2 generated in fuel reactor, and molar ratios of SO2 and COS to total carbon inlet. The use of CaO additive increased the yields of CO2 obviously. The release of COS in the fuel reactor and SO2 in the air reactor decreased, but while the overall release of SO2 in the fuel reactor increased. However, for per mole CO2 generation, less gas sulfides released from the fuel reactor. High concentrations of CO were beneficial for CO2 production and a low SO2 environmental factor, and meanwhile, the molar ratios of SO2 released to inlet CO {{\text{n}}_{{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_2}}}/{{\text{n}}_{{\text{CO}}}} decreased. However, it led to a drop in CO2 yield and an increase in COS environmental factor. As a whole, the use of CaO additive and higher CO concentration both accelerated the parallel CaSO4 reductions in fuel reactor, especially the selectivity of CaSO4 reduction to CaS.
A New Method to Extract Oridonin and Rosmarinic Acid Simultaneously from Rabdosia Rubescens
Authors: Meng Ling , Gui Xia , Yun Zhi 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
A new approach employing conventional solid-liquid extraction has been developed to separate oridonin (ORI) and rosmarinic acid (RA) simultaneously from Rabdosia rubescens. The effects of important parameters were optimized by response surface methodology (RSM) method based on five-level, three-variable central composite design (CCD). A higher recovery rate of 65 % ORI and 88.5 % RA in conjunction with a maximum yield of 9.6 % on the plant dry weight was obtained when liquid-to-solid ratio (LtS) was 12 ml/g, ethanol content (EtC) of 80 %, extract time for 75 min. A quadratic equation was proposed to correlate the independent variables for maximum 9.6 % yield and it is in consistence with the predictive value of 9.52 %. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis indicated that ORI and RA in final product were 6.65 times and 9.1 times richer than raw material. With the newly developed process, an extract enriched ORI and RA was obtained with fewer cost and energy.

AbstractIn this work, we study complexiton solutions to a (2+1)-dimensional (SK) equation and a (3+1)-dimensional nonlinear evolution equation. The complexiton solutions are combinations of trigonometric function waves and exponential function waves. For this goal, the extended transformed rational function method is carried out which is based on the Hirota bilinear forms of the considered equations and provides a systematical and convenient tool for constructing the exact solutions of nonlinear evolution equations.
Constitutional Judges as Agents for Development
Authors: De Visser Maartje 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
This Article explores how constitutional judges can become agents for development and how they may wish to go about performing this role. Due to the high politico-economic stakes involved and the inevitability of trade-offs between competing interests, judicial review of developmental questions is liable to expose judges to negative fall-outs. At the same time, it is fairly common for Asian constitutions to expressly set out the parameters or objectives for economic development that the State is expected to realize, while simultaneously recognizing a suite of (socio-)economic rights, thereby providing textual ammunition to query the validity of a government’s chosen implementation in court. Against this reality, the Article suggests a range of coping mechanisms that can mitigate risks to judicial legitimacy. At its broadest, the decentralized model of judicial review offers judges opportunities to side-step controversial constitutional questions that are unavailable to the same extent, or at all, to distinct constitutional courts. When deciding on the merits of developmental claims, courts should combine a strong presumption of constitutionality as far as the substance of the law is concerned with robust scrutiny of compliance with procedural guarantees. Additionally, courts should be better equipped with knowledge about the methodologies used by and insights from other social sciences to enable them to better evaluate extra-legal evidence submitted. This will also make it possible to better anticipate the likely economic consequences of particular judicial findings, possibly with a view to tailoring their remedies accordingly.
Economic Constitutionalism in the EU and Germany – The German Constitutional Court, the European Court of Justice and the European Central Bank between Law and Politics
Authors: Bröhmer Jürgen 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
The relationship between the European Union (EU) and its member states has recently been the subject of several legal proceedings in the German Federal Constitutional Court (GFCC) and the European Court of Justice. The backdrop to the underlying controversies were policies instituted by the European Central Bank (ECB) dealing with the economic and monetary situation in various member states in the context of the sovereign debt crises to influence interest rates, combat deflationary tendencies and keep inflation under but close to the ECB’s 2% inflation target. Especially so-called outright monetary transactions (OMTs) and the corresponding OMT-program and a particular high volume public sector asset purchasing program (PSPP) announced by the ECB have been controversially discussed. Legally, the controversies are about the prohibition for the ECB to finance debt held by the EU or member states (Article 123 TFEU) and about the delineation of economic policy (Article 119 et seq. TFEU), which lies in the hands of the members states, and monetary policy (Article 127 et seq. TFEU), which is exclusively in the hands of the ECB. The GFCC in its decisions propagated a restrictive approach emphasizing the role of the member states and pointing to the doctrines developed by it around ultra vires acts and so-called identity review. This paper attempts to shed some light on this controversy and argues that beyond the legal controversy lies a deeper problem of the relationship between judicial and political decision-making that the GFCC should exercise restraint in exercising its functions and remember its own doctrine of “open constitutional norms” developed in a different context but applicable here as well.
Transforming China by Chinese Enterprises through Foreign Direct Investment: Experience of Hong Kong Real Estate Developers
Authors: Wong Mike C. W. , Chen Steven X. G. , Choy Lennon H. T. 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Foreign Indirect Investment (FDI) has played a key role in China’s economic transformation. The real estate industry in China has been the second largest sector to fetch FDI for the nation since the opening up of the economy in 1978. Regarded as foreign investors both before and after the handover of sovereignty to China in 1997, Hong Kong based real estate developers (HK developers) took up a lion share of this form of FDI. This article reviews the literature and regulatory frameworks of FDI in the real estate sector in China. It investigates two major problems encountered by the HK developers, namely investment strategy and managing projects, and their solutions through the lens of institutional analysis.
Plasmon-enhanced Förster energy transfer in Langmuir-Blodgett films based on organic dyes
Authors: Ibrayev Niyazbek , Seliverstova Evgeniya , Zhumabay Nazerke 
Published: June 2019

AbstractThe effect of plasmon resonance of silver island films (SIF) on the interlayer Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) between xanthene and oxazine dye molecules was studied. It has been shown that the enhancement of FRET can be controlled by changing in the distance between the donor-acceptor system and the SIF. The maximum increase in energy transfer efficiency (EET) by a factor of 2.6 was recorded at a distance of 6 nm from the SIF. The assumption was made that an increase in EET can be associated with both the direct appearance of a plasmon-enhanced rate constant of energy transfer and an increase in the quantum yield of the energy donor in direct contact with the SIF. The results can serve as a basis for studying of photoinduced processes in hybrid materials such as “organic dye-plasmon nanoparticles”, to increase the photosensitivity of solar cells in the visible region of the spectrum, and for the studying of photobiological processes, as well as to create materials with desired properties, sensors and light energy converters.
