  • The purpose of this paper is to scrutinize how Parks recalling, deconstructing and reconstructing African-American memories of the absences in American history through a black Lincoln impersonator named, The Foundling Father or The Lesser Known. Parks unearths and reconstitutes a significance for the historical event of Lincoln's assassination by repetitive mimicry and verbal puns. As a pun of the Founding Father, the Foundling Father reminds us of Abraham Lincoln, one of the most venerated figures in American history. In the first act, the black Foundling Father performs as The Great Man. This inverted minstrel show of the black Foundling Father performing a white Lincoln exposes the desire of the Foundling Father to insert his narrative within the history of America. With a series of assassinations, the African-American performers figuratively murder the power and control of the American myth. In the second act, his wife Lucy and his son Brazil dig relics from the past out of 'The great hole of history' instead of the Foundling Father. Digging and burial for African-Americans are their livelihood and their calling as well. As Parks pointed out, they should locate the ancestral buried ground, dig for bones and find bones because so much of African-American history has been unrecorded, dismembered and washed out. Parks leaves the possibilities of digging and burying on the black history through Lucy and Brazil.

  • This study has been carried out in order to investigate the physicochemical properties of two small red bean starches. Some of rheological properties of the starch gels were also studied by experiments of various starch concentrations. Water binding capacity of black bean starch was 172.3% and that of red bean starch was 199.0%. Black bean starch had lower swelling power than red bean starch, but the solubility of the black bean starch was higher. When the temperature increased from 60$^{\circ}C$ to 70$^{\circ}C$, the transmittance of two starches rapidly increased. The gelatinized temperature in DSC for black bean was 66.2$^{\circ}C$ and that for red bean was 66.0$^{\circ}C$. Black bean and red bean starches had the blue vlaues of 0.55 and 0.56 and the alkali numbers of 4.40 and 4.13. The molecular weight of amylose was 40,000 and 33,611. The amylose contents of two starches were same at 52%. Brabender Amylographs of two small red bean starch pastes showed C pattern, which is stable. The results of compression test pointed out that TPA parameters varied with the change of storage time, and black bean starch gels had the higher TPA value. The retrogradation study by glucoamylase digestion method revealed that red bean starch gels were more easily retrogradated than black bean. X-ray diffraction patterns of two small red bean starches were A pattern, and diffraction peaks disappeared with gelatinization of starches.

  • We investigate an entangled system, which is analogous to a composite system of a black hole and Hawking radiation. If Hawking radiation is well approximated by an outgoing particle generated from pair creation around the black hole, such a pair creation increases the total number of states. There should be a unitary mechanism to reduce the number of states inside the horizon for black hole evaporation. Because the infalling antiparticle has negative energy, as long as the infalling antiparticle finds its partner such that the two particles form a separable state, one can trace out such a zero energy system by maintaining unitarity. In this paper, based on some toy model calculations, we show that such a unitary tracing-out process is only possible before the Page time while it is impossible after the Page time. Hence, after the Page time, if we assume that the process is unitary and the Hawking pair forms a separable state, the internal number of states will monotonically increase, which is supported by the Almheiri-Marolf-Polchinski-Sully (AMPS) argument. In addition, the Hawking particles cannot generate randomness of the entire system; hence, the entanglement entropy cannot reach its maximum. Based on these results, we modify the correct form of the Page curve for the remnant picture. The most important conclusion is this: if we assume unitarity, semi-classical quantum field theory, and general relativity, then the black hole should violate the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy bound around the Page time at the latest; hence, the infinite production arguments for remnants might be applied for semi-classical black holes, which seems very problematic.

  • To investigate the effect of Artemisia apiacea Hance on the hair growth of black mouse (C57BL/6), this study was carried out. We obtained chloroform fraction, ethyl acetate fraction, butanol fraction from ethanol extract. When these fractions were administered to the black mouse by the method of skin paste, chloroform extract increased remarkably the hair growth of black mouse. thus Chloroform fraction was devided into 5 fractions from 20:1 to 1:1 with chloroform : methanol. the detail fractions of chloroform fraction were administered to the black mouse. We obtained the result that fraction I, II, III, IV are superior to minoxidil of positive control. Most of all fraction II have an dramatical effect on hair growth of black mouse.

  • Migration properties of antidegradants to the surface in NR vulcanizates containing carbon black of 30, 50, and 70 phr were studied using the migration-generating equipment with a vacuum technique. The migration was carried out at 60, 80, and 100 ℃ for 20 h. BHT, IPPD, HPPD, and wax were used as migrants. IPPD migrates faster than the other migrants. Amounts of BHT, IPPD, and HPPD that migrated at 60 and 80 ℃ decrease as the content of carbon black in the vulcanizate increases. Migrations of antidegradants in the NR vulcanizate containing carbon black of 50 phr are faster than those containing carbon black of 30 and 70 phr at 100 ℃. Although n-C23H48 is heavier than HPPD, it migrates faster than HPPD and even faster than BHT at 100 ℃. Influencing factors of carbon black on the migrations are its porous structure and polar functional groups on the surface.

  • Black-out Game(Lightout, Merlin Game, ${\sigma}$+Game) is an interesting game on the chessboard, when you click a button with black or white color, it changes color of itself and other buttons who shares edges. With this rule, we win the game when we have a chessboard with all same color after we click some of the buttons of it. Pretty much of research has been made on founding the winnable strategy for this type of game. In this paper, we first introduce a history of mathematical modeling on this game. Then we develop an algorithm to offer a winnable blackout game of any size. Our tools also show our new algorithm works. Finally, we show how we can use this game in mathematics education.

  • The purpose of this study is to analyse the fashion image behind the colour black formed by existentialism in the 20th century. Human beings started to ask themselves questions about their nature and existence by undergoing two world wars in the 20th century. Existentialism was born out of these philosophical thoughts and in particular, French existentialists led the public discourse of the time and expressed their philosophical thoughts and ideas through black fashion. Therefore we revealed the existentialistic meanings of black by studying the French existentialist ideology and their black fashion. The thoughts of existentialism became popularized in France by French philosophers. Sartre especially played a big role in the popularization of existentialism in France. The black fashion worn by existentialists became popularized along with the ideology that it expressed. Sartre's thoughts on existentialism are summarized in existence Precedes Essence, self-reliance, and engagement. From these, the fashion image behind the colour black formed by existentialism was analogized to resistant image, nihilistic image and self-reliance image.

  • Black ginger (Kaempferia parviflora) is a short-lived ginger plant with dark purple colored root and is known to be effective in treating diabetes and obesity. To find out the difference in the characteristics of the black ginger according to the variety of production, 1D proton NMR experiments were performed on 4 types of black gingers from different regions. The NMR spectra of all black ginger showed the characteristic peaks of the polymethoxy flavone compounds, and the chemical shifts and intensity of peaks showed slight differences depending of the type of black ginger implying the difference in molecular environment. These initial NMR experiments can be applied to the identification of the diversity of black ginger in physiological function according to the climate of regions using SNIF-NMR (Site-specific Natural Isotope Fractionation studied by NMR).
