Reduced synovial expression of histone deacetylases (HDACs) is proposed to contribute to pathology in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by enhancing histone-dependent access of transcription factors to promoters of inflammatory genes. In the previous issue of Arthritis Research & Therapy, Kawabata and colleagues provided independent evidence that HDAC activity is increased in the synovium and fibroblas...

In this article a practical mass-spring system was developed to simulate the draping of woven and knitted fabrics. The material properties important to fabric drape, including aerial density, tensile, shear, and bending properties were measured using the Kawabata Evaluation System and the experimental data were incorporated into the mass-spring model to simulate the dynamic draping behavior of ...

The proposal (N4407R L2/13-110) submitted by Taichi Kawabata, et al., sought to encode six characters in the ‘Siddham’ block (U+11580), which are glyphic variants of basic characters already included in the script. The proposal was approved by WG2 at its meeting in June 2013. The Unicode Technical Committee (UTC), however, did not act upon the proposal at its meeting in July 2013. In considerat...

n neuroscience, art is believed to have a divergent scope for problem solving (Zeki,1999). An artist focuses on ordinary every day happenings in depth, uses the higher cortical abilities of the brain, but finally what makes the artistic work out of his/her creativity is an output of the emotional system at subcortical level. In fact artists utilize the combinatorial properties of visual attribu...

Bu çalışmada Japon mitolojisinin önemli eseri Kojiki (古事記) ve Kawabata Yasunari’nin Shojo no Inori『処女の祈り』(1926) öyküsü gülme kuramları bakış açısıyla değerlendirilmiştir. Her iki eserde de gülme/kahkaha atma eylemleri tespit edilmiştir. Gülme eyleminin eserlerdeki yansımasının kuramı ile ortaya koyulması amaçlanmıştır. konusunu Platon, Aristoteles, Hobbes, Kant, Schopenhauer gibi düşünürler ele...
