This chapter analyzes the nature of the scientific discovery of the tuberculosis bacillus and preventative work against the epidemic through the lens of one of Robert Koch’s associates and friends, Kitasato Shibasaburō. Kitasato, a Japanese scientist and government employee, worked with Koch at the behest of the Japanese government, an organization with which he frequently clashed. Due to his personal foibles and recurrent arguments with politicians and other scientists in Japan, Kitasato’s work on tuberculosis, despite being groundbreaking, was often overlooked in his homeland. Thus, Kitasato’s personal problems, this chapter surmises, may have cost Japan proper tuberculosis prevention undertaken successfully in other countries.

As If

At Wanping, around 50 kilometres from the centre of Beijing, the shots that began the eight-year war between China and Japan were fired in 1937. On the site there now stands the Memorial Museum of the Chinese People's War of Resistance to Japan (the museum's own translation of its title, Zhongguo renmin kang-Ri zhanzheng jinianguan). Inside, a wide array of materials is displayed, but among the most prominent are the waxwork diorama reconstructions of Japanese atrocities against the Chinese. One such display shows a Japanese scientist in a white coat, intent on carrying out a gruesome bacteriological warfare experiment, plunging his scalpel into the living, trussed-up body of a Chinese peasant resistance fighter. But just in case this is not enough to drive the message home, the museum designers have added a refinement: a motor inside the waxwork of the peasant, which makes his body twitch jerkily as if in response to the scalpel, an unending series of little movements until the switch is turned off at closing time.

In modern Quality Engineering, the quality of process results, the quality of measuring instruments, and the quality of completed processes are considered according to their quality characteristics. However, in traditional engineering, only the quality of measuring instruments and the quality of completed processes (precision or accuracy indices PCI, PPI) can be successfully defined, while the quality of process results (semi-finished product, product, software, service) can only be described (has or does not have the required quality), good or bad quality, better or worse quality). In the modern consideration of quality, the quality of process results is now defined by the number of decibels [dB], according to the discovery of the genius Japanese scientist Genichi Taguchi (1924-2012), with the methods of Robust Technology Development and Standard Ratio (S/N). This paper discusses definition of the quality of process results with one input variable and continuous characteristics with three illustrative examples.

Dear editor, the cholangiocarcinoma is a deadly hepatobiliary cancer. It results in high fatality in affected persons in endemic Southeast Asia. The patient usually manifests at large stage of cancer and has severe obstructive jaundice. The underlying genetic pathophysiology of cholangiocarcinoma is very interesting. As a cancer, the mutation can be expected (such as KRAS mutation). In a recent publication by Luchini et al., the loss of Polybromo-1 (PBRM1) was observed during the development of cholangiocarcinoma. The similar finding was also reported by another Japanese scientist group. Here, the authors use the standard gene ontology technique to assess the effect of PBRM1 loss comparing to the naïve case. The protocol for gene ontology analysis is the same as previously gene ontology analysis studied. According to analysis, the identified main affected function due to PBRM1 loss is “regulation of chromatin association.” This implies that loss of PMB1 during cholangiocarcinoma development is the important pathobiological process that promotes the abnormal cell division and might stimulate the cancer development. In fact, the loss of PBRM1 is proposed as an important predictor for poor outcome in several cancers such as renal cancer.

The basic solution for the velocity induced by helical vortex filament is well known as Hardin's solution, published in 1982. A study of early publications on helical vortices now shows that the Japanese scientist Kawada from Tokyo Imperial University also produced many of these results in 1936, which predates Hardin by 46 years. Consequently, in order to honor both, we have studied their derivations to establish the originality of both solutions.
