THE «NON-STANDARD» JAPANESE

Distinguishing Japanese Non-standard Usages from Standard Ones

We focus on non-standard usages of common words on social media. In the context of social media, words sometimes have other usages that are totally different from their original. In this study, we attempt to distinguish non-standard usages on social media from standard ones in an unsupervised manner. Our basic idea is that nonstandardness can be measured by the inconsistency between the expecte...

Japanese and Non-japanese Perceptions of Japanese Communication

Standard and non-standard primordial neutrinos

The standard cosmological model predicts the existence of a cosmic neutrino background (CνB) with a present density of about nν + nν̄ ≃ 110 cm per flavour, which affects big-bang nucleosynthesis (BBN), cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies, and the evolution of large scale structures (LSS). We report on a precision calculation of the CνB properties including the modification introduced ...

Standard and non-standard neutrino properties

I review the interpretation of solar and atmospheric neutrino data in terms neutrino oscillations and describe some ways to account for the required neutrino masses and mixing angles from first principles, both within topdown and bottom-up approaches. I also discuss non-oscillation phenomena such as ββ0ν which may probe the absolute scale of neutrino mass, and also reveal its Majorana nature. I...

The biological standard of living in Taiwan under Japanese occupation.

This paper presents evidence on the biological standard of living in Taiwan from 1842 to 1931 using Taiwanese height and weight data collected by the Japanese authorities from 1921 to 1931. This study shows that in the late Ch'ing adult heights were not increasing over time, while the adult heights of those born after the Japanese takeover did begin to increase rapidly. Evidence from children's...
