In this paper, I will critically assess E. Wilson's concept of consilience and thereby try to show the proper way that the humanities and the natural sciences could meet each other and carry out various kinds of interdisciplinary research. In section 1, I will delineate Wilson's concept of consilience. It is the core of his project of consilience to unify the humanities and the natural sciences through the natural scientific methods and therefore he claims that it is in principle possible to carry out the project of consilience. In section 2, I will examine the basic structure of knowledge in the humanities and show that, in principle, the project of consilience cannot be carried out. In section 3, I will show the difficulties that Wilson's projectof consilience has with respect to carrying out the interdisciplinary research between the humanities and the natural sciences. In section 4, I will deal with the various types and ways of properly carrying out the interdisciplinary research between the humanities and the natural sciences. In section 5, I will show that Wilson's concept of consilience has some more difficulties that are not to be discussed in detail in this paper. We also need to critically assess them in order to prepare a more solid ground for the interdisciplinary research between the humanities and the natural sciences.

Cell kinetics and the chemical mass action principle formulate the basis of immune system dynamics which may be synthesized mathematically as cascades of bilinear systems which are connected by nonlinear nondynamical terms. In this manner, a model for cell-mediated immune response (CMI) to tumor antigens and debris is developed. We also consider parametric control variables relevant to the latest experimental data, i.e., sigmoidal dose-response relationship and Michaelis-Menten dynamics. The preliminary results show that the parametric control variable is important in the destruction of tumors. As well as that, the exacerbation theory is a good method for tumor treatment. Finally, tumor control as an application of immunotherapy is analyzed from the basis established above.

The present paper deals with the identification of a concentrated damage in an elastic parabolic arch through the minimization of an objective function which measures the differences between numerical and experimental values of static displacements. The damage consists in a notch that reduces the height of the cross section at a given abscissa and therefore causes a variation in the flexural stiffness of the structure. The analytical values of static displacements due to applied loads are calculated by means of the principle of virtual work for both the undamaged and damaged arch. First, pseudo-experimental data are used to study the inverse problem and investigate whether a unique solution can occur or not. Various damage intensities are considered to assess the reliability of the identification procedure. Then, the identification procedure is applied to an experimental case, where displacements are measured on a prototype arch. The identified values of damage parameters, i.e., location and intensity, are compared to those obtained by means of a dynamic identification technique performed on the same structure.

The $GCF_{\epsilon}$ expansion is a new class of continued fractions induced by the transformation $T_{\epsilon}:(0, 1]{\rightarrow}(0, 1]$: $T_{\epsilon}(x)={\frac{-1+(k+1)x}{1+k-k{\epsilon}x}}$ for $x{\in}(1/(k+1),1/k]$. Under the algorithm $T_{\epsilon}$, every $x{\in}(0,1]$ corresponds to an increasing digits sequences $\{k_n,n{\geq}1\}$. Their basic properties, including the ergodic properties, law of large number and central limit theorem have been discussed in [4], [5] and [7]. In this paper, we study the large deviation for the $GCF_{\epsilon}$ expansion and show that: $\{{\frac{1}{n}}{\log}k_n,n{\geq}1\}$ satisfies the different large deviation principles when the parameter ${\epsilon}$ changes in [-1, 1], which generalizes a result of L. J. Zhu [9] who considered a case when ${\epsilon}(k){\equiv}0$ (i.e., Engel series).

This paper proposes a novel 16/10 segmented rotor switched reluctance motor (SSRM) for belt-driven starter generators (BSGs). Different from conventional SRMs, the stator of the proposed SSRM consists of two types of stator poles, i.e., exciting and auxiliary poles, and the rotor is constructed from a series of discrete segments. The topology and operation principle of this proposed SSRM are illustrated firstly, and then the design rules are listed. In addition, the finite element method (FEM) is employed to get the static and dynamic characteristics of the proposed SSRM. Finally, the simulation results are presented to show the validity of the proposed SSRM for BSGs.

The townscapes of “Bu” and “Mok” in the Yi Dynasty, Showing the typical landscape characteristics of Korean pre-industrial city, were influenced by the two major socio - cultural norms, One of Which is the “Pung - su theory” a traditional religious system on human settlements, the other is the “Churyegogong system” ; a principle of the traditional oriental city planning. The former exerted main influencs on the location of towns, its external Boundaries of domain and its direction, by natural topographic features in macro perspective, and the latter on the inner parts of townscapes, i. e., the landscape system of ‘center’, ‘boundary’, ‘direction’, and ‘domain’, as representations of administrative and Socio-cultural structures of that era, in micro perspective compared with the former. The systems of Korean old townscapes can be summurized as followhg brief paradigm, with general and .case studies. And the constituents of the paradigm, such as center, boundary, direction and domain, are inferred to reinforce the “sense of place” in townscapes, with their ‘physical appearence’, ‘meaning’, and ‘social activities’.

This paper deals with an analysis of SCR thyristor switching pattern for a power quality disturbance generator with phase jump function. The proposed generator can be applied to the performance test of custom power devices. Voltage sag, swell, outage, unbalance and phase jump after outage are provided by the generator. The phase jump operating principle of the generator is described and analysed. Especially, a proper switching of the SCR thyristors for the proposed generator is important to guarantee the system reliability. Therefore the switching patterns for the thyristors in each made were analysed.

This paper describes a new Sag-Swell generator for the test of custom power devices such as UPS, DYR, DSTATCOM, 5575, etc. The proposed science has good features of simple structure, high reliability, wide range of Sag and Swell variation, and easy control. Outage, harmonic distortion, notches, and voltage unbalance also can be generated. The operation principle of the proposed scheme is described and verified through simulations.

This study was undertaken to take the correct vocal technique(especially about the resonance of oral cavity). The resonance of oral and pharyngeal cavity is the principle which can vocalize well without any abnormal signs in the throat. Therefore it is important for us to understand how to use the correct resonance of oral and pharyngeal cavity. Shimadzu X-ray remote control TV system and Shimadzu magnet $nex-{\alpha}$ (SMT-50CX/H) were used for checking the movements of T-M joint and diaphragmatic respiration. The results obtained were summerized as follows: 1. While opening T-M joint space like the vowel "A" [a], We should vocalize five fundamental vowel [a,e,i,o,u] with diaphragmatic respiration holded. 2. Diminuendo must be expressed by increasing a breath volume while descending a mandible gradually because we can not ascend maxilla. So we can make a delicate expression. 3. The resonance of oral cavity must be scattered by elevating the soft palatine lightly with relax of throat.
