They discuss the importance of logistics, intelligence, and joint operations in modern warfare, as well as how the PLA is analyzing past battles to inform its future strategies. The conversation also touches on the implications of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and the concept of comprehensive national power in the context of military readiness and capability.TakeawaysThe PLA has not fought a major war since 1979, relying on historical analysis.China studies past conflicts to inform its military strategies.Logistics played a crucial role in the success of the US in the Pacific War.Shore-based air power is essential for modern military operations.The PLA recognizes its weaknesses in joint operations and is working to improve.Intelligence gathering and analysis are vital for understanding adversaries.The study of history is integral to military education in China.The PLA draws lessons from both World War II and contemporary conflicts.China is observing the Russia-Ukraine war for strategic insights.Comprehensive national power is a key concept in assessing military capabilities.Chapters00:00: Introduction and Context of the Discussion02:56: China's Learning from Historical Conflicts09:12: Analyzing Key Battles of the Pacific War20:44: Logistics and Its Importance in Warfare27:53: The Concept of Joint Operations in Military Strategy30:06: The Role of Intelligence in Modern Warfare34:05: Intellectual Approaches to Military History43:17: Lessons from the Japanese and American Military Strategies48:56: Learning from the Russia-Ukraine Conflict58:01: Comprehensive National Power and Its Implications

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.04.06.535895v1?rss=1 Authors: Coschiera, A., Yoshihara, M., Lauter, G., Ezer, S., Kere, J., Swoboda, P. Abstract: Primary cilia emanate from most human cell types, including neurons. Cilia are important for communicating with the cell's immediate environment: signal reception and transduction to/from the ciliated cell. Deregulation of ciliary signaling can lead to ciliopathies and certain neurodevelopmental disorders. In the developing brain cilia play well-documented roles for the expansion of the neural progenitor cell pool, while information about the roles of cilia during post-mitotic neuron differentiation and maturation is scarce. We employed ciliated Lund Human Mesencephalic (LUHMES) cells in time course experiments to assess the impact of ciliary signaling on neuron differentiation. By comparing ciliated and non-ciliated neuronal precursor cells and neurons in wild type and a mutant with altered cilia (RFX2 -/-), we discovered an early-differentiation "ciliary time window" during which transient cilia promote axon outgrowth, branching and arborization. Cilia promote neuron differentiation by tipping WNT signaling toward the non-canonical pathway, in turn activating WNT pathway output genes implicated in cyto-architectural changes. We provide a mechanistic entry point into when and how ciliary signaling coordinates, promotes and translates into anatomical changes. We hypothesize that ciliary alterations causing neuron differentiation defects may result in "mild" impairments of brain development, possibly underpinning certain aspects of neurodevelopmental disorders.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.03.29.534505v1?rss=1 Authors: Hiraki-Kajiyama, T., Miyasaka, N., Ando, R., Wakisaka, N., Itoga, H., Onami, S., Yoshihara, Y. Abstract: Zebrafish is a useful model organism in neuroscience; however, its gene expression atlas in the adult brain is not well developed. In the present study, we examined the expression of 38 neuropeptides, and glutamatergic neuron marker gene mix (slc17a6a, slc17a6b, slc17a7a, and slc17a7b) in the adult zebrafish brain using in situ hybridization. The results are summarized as an expression atlas in 19 coronal planes of the forebrain. Furthermore, the scan data of all sections were made publicly available as a database. Based on these data, we performed detailed neuroanatomical analyses of the hypothalamus. By scrutinizing and comparing the expression patterns of neuropeptides, we found that several regions described as one nucleus in the reference zebrafish brain atlas contain two or more subregions with significantly different neuropeptide/neurotransmitter expression profiles, and we proposed them as novel subnuclei. Subsequently, the expression data obtained in this study were compared with those in mice, and a cluster analysis was performed to examine the similarities. As a result, several nuclei in zebrafish and mice were clustered in close vicinity: zebrafish ventral part of the anterior part of the parvocellular preoptic nucleus (PPav)/magnocellular preoptic nucleus (PM) and mouse paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus (Pa), zebrafish posterior part of the parvocellular preoptic nucleus (PPp) and mouse medial preoptic area (MPA), zebrafish dorsal part of the ventral zone of periventricular hypothalamus (Hvd)/anterior tuberal nucleus (ATN) and mouse ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus (VMN). The present expression atlas, database, and anatomical findings will contribute to future neuroscientific research using zebrafish. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Y., Fujino, J., Yoshihara, Y., Nakamura, M., Aoki, R., Ohta, H., Sakai, Y., Takamura, M., Ichikawa, N., Okada, G., Okada, N., Kasai, K., Tanaka, S. C., Imamizu, H., Kato, N., Okamoto, Y., Takahashi, H., Kawato, M., Yamashita, O., Hashimoto, R.-i. Abstract: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a lifelong condition, and its underlying biological mechanisms remain elusive. The complexity of various factors, including inter-site and development-related differences, makes it challenging to develop generalizable neuroimaging-based biomarkers for ASD. This study used a large-scale, multi-site dataset of 730 Japanese adults to develop a generalizable neuromarker for ASD across independent sites (U.S., Belgium, and Japan) and different developmental stages (children and adolescents). Our adult ASD neuromarker achieved successful generalization for the US and Belgium adults (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.70) and Japanese adults (AUC = 0.81). The neuromarker demonstrated significant generalization for children (AUC = 0.66) and adolescents (AUC = 0.71; all P less than 0.05, family-wise-error corrected). We identified 141 functional connections (FCs) important for discriminating individuals with ASD from TDCs. These FCs largely centered on social brain regions such as the amygdala, hippocampus, dorsomedial and ventromedial prefrontal cortices, and temporal cortices. Finally, we mapped schizophrenia (SCZ) and major depressive disorder (MDD) onto the biological axis defined by the neuromarker and explored the biological continuity of ASD with SCZ and MDD. We observed that SCZ, but not MDD, was located proximate to ASD on the biological dimension defined by the ASD neuromarker. The successful generalization in multifarious datasets and the observed relations of ASD with SCZ on the biological dimensions provide new insights for a deeper understanding of ASD.

K., Akiyama, T., Ko, M. S. H., Kishi, K., UMEZAWA, A. Abstract: Background: Melanocytes are an essential part of the epidermis, and their regeneration has received much attention because propagation of human adult melanocytes in vitro is too slow for clinical use. Differentiation from human pluripotent stem cells to melanocytes has been reported, but the protocols to produce them require multiple and complex differentiation steps. Method: We differentiated human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) that transiently express JMJD3 to pigmented cells. We investigated whether the pigmented cells have melanocytic characteristics and functions by qRT-PCR, immunocytochemical analysis and flow cytometry. We also investigated their biocompatibility by injecting the cells into immunodeficient mice for clinical use. Result: We successfully differentiated and established a pure culture of melanocytes. The melanocytes maintained their growth rate for a long time, approximately 200 days, and were functional. They exhibited melanogenesis and transfer of melanin to peripheral keratinocytes. Moreover, melanocytes simulated the developmental processes from melanoblasts to melanocytes. The melanocytes had high engraftability and biocompatibility in the immunodeficient mice. Conclusion: The robust generation of functional and long-lived melanocytes are key to developing clinical applications for the treatment of pigmentary skin disorders.

Ai has real concerns for Agent Carter, and her Citizen's Take that Captain America didn't do anything devolves into our three heroines debating the practicality of Red Skull ripping off his very good villain face. And a word of advice? Hide better when you're sneaking into a nuclear plant. Ai shares her lofty goal of bridging Americans and immigrants, which leads Quincy to wonder if Americans are in a toxic relationship with the British. No one is impressed by Quincy's newfound discovery of sliced oranges, and two makeup thematic tie-ins grace this episode.Instagram: @MarvelandMakeupTwitter: @MarvelandMakeupYouTube: Marvel and Makeup PodcastInquiries: marvelandmakeuppod@gmail.comFollow Quincy and KayQuincy: Instagram | TwitterKay: Instagram | TwitterFollow Ai Yoshihara: Instagram | Tik TokMusic by Clarence Yapp. Artwork by Patty Lin Hosted on Acast.

Episode XVIII takes a detour from Mahbubani's "Has China Won?" and looks closely at the military side of the burgeoning strategic conflict between the American hegemon and its rival to the East. Focusing on three texts by a group of naval experts, we discuss how Alfred T. Mahan has been central to China's grand strategy for the Pacific and how its military planners' view of the First Island chain, a simple but unfortunate geospatial reality, forms a critical aspect of their conception of China's place in the world. Finally, to Mahbubani's question, "Can the US make U-Turns?" we test the question against military expenditures on outdated platforms and weapons systems in the Pacific. We head into our final discussion on "Has China Won?" by sharing some thoughts on how these military-strategic works have reframed our earlier, perhaps overly optimistic view of China's successes. On the next episode, we'll continue exploring that question through the lens of economics, centrally focused on Pettis and Klein's "Trade Wars are Class Wars." Works under discussion: Michael J. Green: By More Than Providence T. Yoshihara and J. Holmes: Red Star Over the PacificJerry Hendrix: At What Cost a Carrier?  Thanks for listening. Jason King provides the music you hear in After the 'End of History.' 

Hey nerds. This episode, the one and only Ai Yoshihara graces me with her presence. She and I discuss her origin story as a comedian and her beliefs in a life after this one. Ai grew up in Japan and moved to the US for school. She has lived in Belton, TX; Reno, NV; Las Vegas, NV; and Los Angeles, CA. She studied hotel management, which was just a means to an end. She moved to LA to pursue her true passion: acting. Her acting career pushed her into improv comedy. She did improv for 10 years before transitioning into standup. She's been doing standup for about 4 years. She hosted a live open mic at Flappers on Fridays in the Before Times. As far as religion goes, she is truly LA. She describes herself as spiritual but not religious. She dabbles in crystals and believes in reincarnation. She clears up some of my fuzzy understanding of reincarnation. I return the favor by clearing up some of her concerns regarding polygamy. Follow her on Instagram at @aiyoshihara3. And catch her and me at our weekly Zoom mic hosted through Flappers. DM either one of us for the details or get on the Flappers email list by going to their website. The mic is every Saturday at 8:30 PM Pacific. It's the best mic they have. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/seth-lawrence/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/seth-lawrence/support

#Becauseracecar!  It's hillclimbing season (when isn't it?) and the PPIHC is running its chop fluey-addled rescheduled race.  It's a little weird being fan-free ('cause kung flu), but the racers are here to race - folks like Dallenbach, Vahsholtz, Zwart, Yoshihara, Donahue, Schranz and more are running everything like a carbon-fiber Z, JZ'd BR-Z, open-wheel this and 50-year old that, Camaros and Mustangs, factory Acuras, and Porsches by the pound.  Power is thick: V8s from the junkyard, blown everything, twin-turbo'd straight-six Buicks and VQs, with diesel power, ethanol power and even - heh - nine-volt power. Jump on board - Hostus Maximus Justin Fort is trackside and grabs as much as iPhonely possible, which turns out to be tons of surprsingly good audio.  Now you go do something fast and awesome.

I am very thankful to have my good friend Hide on to talk about his life journey from growing up in Japan to being part of a historic golf program at UCLA. We expand on topics from the mentality of going deep, preparing for tournaments, to his golf swing. 07/31/20

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.06.04.134478v1?rss=1 Authors: Lauter, G., Coschiera, A., Yoshihara, M., Sugiaman-Trapman, D., Ezer, S., Sethurathinam, S., Katayama, S., Kere, J., Swoboda, P. Abstract: Many human cell types are ciliated, including neural progenitors and differentiated neurons. Ciliopathies are characterized by defective cilia and comprise various disease states, including brain phenotypes, where the underlying biological pathways are largely unknown. Our understanding of neuronal cilia is rudimentary and an easy-to-maintain, ciliated human neuronal cell model is missing. LUHMES is a ciliated neuronal cell line derived from human fetal mesencephalon. LUHMES cells can easily be maintained and differentiated into mature, functional neurons within one week. They have a single primary cilium as proliferating progenitor cells and as post-mitotic, differentiating neurons. These developmental stages are completely separable within one day of culture condition change. The Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) signaling pathway is active in differentiating LUHMES neurons. RNA-seq time course analyses reveal molecular pathways and gene-regulatory networks critical for ciliogenesis and axon outgrowth at the interface between progenitor cell proliferation, polarization and neuronal differentiation. Gene expression dynamics of cultured LUHMES neurons faithfully mimic the corresponding in vivo dynamics of human fetal midbrain. In LUHMES, neuronal cilia biology can be investigated along a complete timeline: from proliferation through differentiation to mature neurons. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Tom Mahnken and Toshi Yoshihara of the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments (CSBA) discuss China and Russia's "authoritarian political warfare." "Not only do they use these influence campaigns, they use economic coercion, occasionally they use a military force, they use non-military instruments of power," says Yoshihara. "And it's the combination of these tools that I think make Russian and Chinese strategy so potent."

Remember when "Afghanistan" became "AFPAC" in the second half of the last decade? Concepts morph the more you study them. Just as you started to get used to the 'Pacific Pivot" - in case you missed it this summer, it is morphing in to the Indo-Pacific Pivot. Extending our view from WESTPAC in to the Indian Ocean, how are things changing that will shape the geo-strategic environment from Goa, Darwin, Yokohama, Hainan, to Vladivostok? Our guest to discuss this and more will be Dr. Toshi Yoshihara, Professor of Strategy and John A. van Beuren Chair of Asia-Pacific Studies at the U.S. Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island, and author of Red Star over the Pacific, that was just translated into Chinese. A returning guest to Midrats, Dr. Yoshihara some of the last few months in China and India, bringing an up to date perspective on this growing center of power and influence.

Adam Carolla and Matt D'Andria answer a few listener car questions in between Adam rants. Then we bring in drift champion Dai Yoshihara and his aluminum V8-powered Nissan 240.

During Hour One, our guest will be Susan Yoshihara, Vice President for Research at the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute (C-FAM), and Director of the International Organizations Research Group (IORG). Ms. Yoshihara argues that as abortionists believe they are in the home stretch, science has tripped them up. The frustration on the part of abortion activists within the United Nations and other independent organizations materialized in their Women Deliver conference flop in Washington D.C. a week ago. Under the guise of "maternal health," the abortion groups aimed to drum up $12 billion in additional funding, while also drafting a formal relations government document that would fuel their march toward a worldwide promotion of "family planning." The facts, and science, has contradicted the abortionists, and now their agenda of murder is on the ropes. And as the reports emerge, women are turning against the abortionist agenda in droves. Our second hour guest is New York Times bestselling author Brad Meltzer who commissioned a poll that found America's number one hero is. . .Dad! Says Meltzer of the results, "This shows the impact fathers still have in society. Heroes For My Son is his new inspirational book that highlights father-like heroes like George Washington, Mr. Rogers, and the Wright Brothers, all of whom have one common thread, fatherhood. And great news! The book is available now, just in the nick of time for Fathers Day! Join us tonight as we enjoy two great interviews on the Political Pistachio Radio Revolution.
