Furthermore, they calculated the rates of unique names not only within a given year (e.g., 2000) but also within a three-year unit (the target year, the year before it, and the year after it e.g., 1999, 2000, 2001), and performed the same analysis. Then, they analyzed their historical changes. They calculated the rates of the names that were not duplicated in each of the municipalities in each year. The researchers analyzed 58,485 baby names published in these municipality newsletters between 19. They were located in both rural and urban areas. The municipalities were also demographically diverse. Some municipalities were located near the coast, while others were inland. They were located all over Japan, from the southern part (Kyushu) to the northern part (Hokkaido). The municipalities surveyed were geographically diverse. In these newsletters, the names of persons who are born, die, and marry in each municipality are listed.įor their study, the researchers collected municipality newsletters that fulfilled some criteria. Municipalities share important information such as major events (e.g., sports activities, lecture meetings), services (e.g., educational, medical), and basic statistics (e.g., financial, population) in newsletters. To this end, Assistant Professor Yuji Ogihara of Tokyo University of Science and Atsuki Ito of Hitotsubashi University collected baby names from municipality newsletters and investigated historical changes in the rates of unique names in Japan over a longer period. There was a possibility that the increase in unique names were found only after the 2000s.Įxamining whether the rates of unique names increased for a longer period provides a better understanding of not only historical changes in names and naming practices, but also cultural changes toward greater individualism which emphasizes uniqueness and independence. Therefore, it was unclear whether this increase in unique names was recent or had occurred before the 2000s. However, changes over a longer period were not analyzed because of the lack of a comprehensive and systematic database on baby names in Japan, unlike in other nations such as the United States and China. Previous research has analyzed baby names displayed by private companies and indicated that the rates of unique names increased in Japan between 20 (Ogihara, 2021 Ogihara et al., 2015). Image credit: Yuji Ogihara from Tokyo University of Science Expanding on these findings, the present study examined these trends over a longer period of 40 years, from 1979 to 2018. Image caption: Previous research on the rise of unique baby names in Japan has focused on the period between 20. ![]() Image title: Timeline of present and previous research on unique baby names in Japan Their research provides important insights into changes in Japanese names and culture. This increase was observed from the 1980s, indicating that this phenomenon is not new. ![]() A new study evaluating historical changes in the rates of unique names in Japan from 1979 to 2018 found rising trends of individualismĪn analysis of baby names published in municipality newsletters between 19 by Assistant Professor Yuji Ogihara of Tokyo University of Science and Atsuki Ito of Hitotsubashi University revealed that the rates of unique names increased in Japan over 40 years, suggesting a rise in uniqueness-seeking and individualism. 11/9/2023 0 Comments Nasa ads![]() For objects close to the moon, spectra may be affected by the moon, thus targets with the angular distances to the moon less than 10 degrees were not observed. This time, 11,190,570 single exposure spectra and 2,906,397 coadded spectra were obtained, which were written into 1,498,289 FITS files. The main purpose of the time-domain survey is to investigate variable targets, which were repeatedly observed in several observation nights, but targets of the non time-domain survey were observed only in one night in general. For LAMOST MRS, it includes two surveys, i.e., the time-domain and the non time-domain surveys. ![]() LAMOST II takes about 50% nights (dark/gray nights) to continue the previous low-resolution spectroscopic survey, and another 50% nights (bright/gray nights) to conduct the medium-resolution survey (MRS). Since October 2018, LAMOST started the second stage survey program (LAMOST II), which contains both low- and medium-resolution spectroscopic surveys. It is a special reflecting Schmidt telescope with 4000 fibers in a field of view of 20 deg 2 in the sky. The Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) is a Chinese national scientific research facility operated by the National Astronomical Observatories, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Tens of parameters are included in these catalogs, such as right ascension, declination, signal to noise ratio (S/N), magnitude, gaia sourceid, gaia gmean_mag, atmospheric parameters (effective temperature, surface gravity, and metallicity), radial velocity, element abundance, spectral line indices, line widths, the metallicity sensitive parameter, and the magnetic activity flag.ĭata Release One of LAMOST Medium-Resolution Spectroscopic Survey (MRS). In this data release, nine spectroscopic parameter catalogs are also published and they are the LAMOST LRS General Catalog, the LAMOST LRS Stellar Parameter Catalog of A, F, G and K Stars, the LAMOST LRS Line-Index Catalog of A Type Stars, the LAMOST LRS Catalog of gM, dM, and sdM Stars, the LAMOST LRS Multiple Epoch Catalog, the LAMOST LRS Observed Plate Information Catalog, the LAMOST LRS Input Catalog, the LAMOST LRS Catalog of Cataclysmic Variable Stars, and the LAMOST LRS Catalog of White Dwarf Stars respectively. There are 10,431,197 flux (relatively)- and wavelength-calibrated, sky-subtracted spectra in DR7, including 9,846,793 stellar spectra, 198,272 galaxy spectra, 66,612 quasar spectra, and 319,520 unknown object spectra, and these spectra cover the wavelength range of 3690Å-9100Å with a resolution of 1800 at the 5500Å.Ģ. ![]() The data products of this release can be available from the website, and they includeġ.

They will definitely give you the traction and warmth you need in the harshest conditions.” For those in Maine, the Great Lakes, and the Northwest, these are a perfect option. Outdoor Time went so far as to lay out a geographic map for the Caribou’s best environment: “If you live below the Ohio River, these are probably too warm unless you are in the high mountains. Ideal as an around the house, doing your chores snow boot, we wouldn't consider taking it on a long hike or for snowshoeing, but it is warm, weather-resistant and easy to use, making it a perennial favorite.” “We aren't crazy about the sloppy fit of this boot - our feet swam around inside the boot if we weren't wearing big thick socks. ![]() While they loved the warmth and the “robust waterproofness,” they weren’t thrilled at the looseness of fit. Outdoor Gear Lab scored the Caribous high on warmth (9/10) and water resistance (10/10!). Travel & Leisure quoted one Caribou-lover that says it all: “If you want serious snow boots for all day in the cold, these are the ones.” If that doesn’t convince you that these boots are worth it, we don’t know what will. These boots have also earned a spot on their first-ever Editor’s Choice List in 2010 of the 51 things they’ve come to love over the previous 33 years. Outside Online has a long list of reasons why we keep coming back to the Sorel Caribous as our favorites - from placing it on lists like The Most Influential Gear of All Time and “The Gear You Need to Get Your Car Out of the Snow”. The Sorel Caribou boot earned these ratings: REI (4.2/5), Outdoor Gear Lab (76/100), Outside Online (Editor’s Choice, Most Influential Gear of All Time, Gear You Need to Get Your Car Out of the Snow), Gearhungry (#4, Best Men’s Snow Boots), Jetsetter (12 Best Men’s Winter Boots), Men's Health (Best Winter Boots for Men), Sorel (4/5), Backcountry (4.5/5), Trailspace (2.5/5), Walmart (4.8/5), Bloomingdales (4.4/5), Cabelas (4.5/5), Chicago Tribune (Best Mens Winter Boots, #3), Moosejaw (4.7/5), Switchback Travel (Best Casual/Everyday Winter Boot), Travel & Leisure (Best Wind-resistant Option), Gearhungry (Editor’s Choice, Best Snow Boots), Outdoor Time (Best Classic Winter Boot).

I’ve never seen a winter without him wearing those boot - from New York to Colorado to Maine! In fact, many reviewers brought up family members having owned these boots for 15+ years, and still going strong. My father has owned his pair of Sorel Caribous since 1992. While known for their clunky-chore-boot charm, the Caribous have been keeping our toes ultra- toasty and feet dry in an 80 year spree with no end in sight.

11/8/2023 0 Comments Elite cue caseThis allows multi-core loads to operate at up to 5.5ghz if the necessary amount of thermal dissipation is there. Similar behavior has been standard in laptops for years due to cooling limitations in tight spaces.įurthermore, Intel’s Core i9-13900K supports Adaptive Boost Technology (ABT) which allows Core i9 processors to dynamically boost to higher all-core frequencies based on available thermal headroom and electrical conditions. Modern AMD and Intel CPUs are designed to run fairly hot without any problems – up to 95 degrees Celsius for AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs, and up to 100 C for Intel’s Core i9-13900K. While in the past a CPU hitting its peak temperature was cause for concern, enthusiasts are going to have to learn to accept high temperatures as “normal” while running demanding workloads with Raptor Lake and Ryzen 7000 CPUs. While it was fairly easy with previous generations of CPUs for coolers to keep the flagship i9 processor well under TJ max (the maximum temperature a CPU can sustain without throttling) in tough workloads, this is no longer realistically possible on current generation CPUs (and the 13900K especially) without extreme cooling (or enabling power limits).
