TOKYO, March 12 (Xinhua) -- The support rate for Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's cabinet has tumbled recently over a school land deal scandal, according to various media surveys.
According to a Kyodo News poll released on Sunday, the support rate for Abe's cabinet dropped to 55.7 percent, down 6 percentage points from last month.
A total of 86.5 percent of the respondents to the telephone survey over the weekend said that the purchase of a state-owned land at a heavily reduced price by Moritomo Gakuen, a private school operator reportedly having close ties with Abe's wife, was inappropriate.
While 74.6 percent of the respondents supported the opposition parties' demand that Yasunori Kagoike, head of Moritomo Gakuen, shall be summoned to a parliamentary session to explain the controversial deal.
A different poll by Japan News Network, a local commercial television news network, showed last week that the support rate for Abe's cabinet dropped 4.4 percentage points to 61 percent compared with a month ago.
An online poll by Nihon Keizai Shimbun last week showed a more drastic fall, with the support rate for Abe's cabinet down to 36.1 percent compared to 63.7 percent 10 days earlier. The non-support rate, meanwhile, rose to 63.9 percent.
Moritomo Gakuen, a private school operator, reportedly bought a 8,770-square-meter piece of land last June in Toyonaka, Osaka Prefecture, for 134 million yen (1.2 million U.S. dollars), equivalent to only 14 percent of its appraisal price.
The land, according to local reports, had been intended for a new elementary school to be opened in April with the prime minister's wife Akie as its honorary principal.
Abe has denied in parliament that he and his wife had anything to do with the scandal and said that his wife Akie had stepped down in her role as would-be honorary principle of the school.
He also said that he had rejected a request to have the school bear his name and he was unaware that his name had been used in seeking donations for the school. Moritomo Gakuen withdrew its application to the local government for approval to open a new elementary school earlier this week, and Kagoike indicated that he would resign in a bid to end the turmoil.
Power supply is a reference to a source of electrical power. A device or system that supplies electrical or other types of energy to an output load or group of loads is called a power supply unit or PSU. The term is most commonly applied to electrical energy supplies Alex Goligoski Jersey , less often to a mechanical ones, and rarely to others.
Power supplies for electronic devices can be broadly divided into linear and switching power supplies. The linear supply is a relatively simple design that becomes increasingly bulky and heavy for high current devices; voltage regulation in a linear supply can result in low efficiency. A switched-mode supply of the same rating as a linear supply will be smaller Oliver Ekman-Larsson Jersey , is usually more efficient, but will be more complex.
Battery power supply: A battery is a type of linear power supply that offers benefits that traditional line-operated power supplies lack: mobility Derek Stepan Jersey , portability, and reliability. A battery consists of multiple electrochemical cells connected to provide the voltage desired.
Linear power supply: A home-made linear power supply used to power amateur radio equipment. An AC power linear power supply usually uses a transformer to convert the voltage from the wall outlet (mains) to different sources Christian Dvorak Jersey , usually a lower voltage. If it is used to produce DC, a rectifier is used. A capacitor is used to smooth the pulsating current from the rectifier.
An ACDC Power Supply converts AC power to DC Power. An AC-DC Power Supply is a device that converts one form of electrical power to another desired form and voltage. This typically involves converting 120 or 240 volts AC supplied by a utility company to a well-regulated lower DC voltage for electrical devices.
A switched-mode power supply works on a different principle. AC mains input is directly rectified without the use of a transformer Max Domi Jersey , to obtain a DC voltage. This voltage is then sliced into small pieces by a high-speed electronic switch. The size of these slices grows larger as power output requirements increase.
Electronic diagram is also known as a circuit diagram wiring diagram or elementary diagram. It is a simplified conventional pictorial representation of an electrical circuit. It shows the components of the circuit as simplified standard symbols, and the power and signal connections between the devices. Arrangement of the components interconnections on the diagram does not correspond to their physical locations in the finished device.
Unlike a block diagram or layout diagram Richard Panik Jersey , a circuit diagram shows the actual wire connections being used. The diagram does not show the physical arrangement of components. A drawing meant to describe what the physical arrangement of the wires and the components they connect is called "artwork" or "layout" or the "physical design." On a circuit diagram, the symbols for components are labelled with a descriptor matching that on the list of parts. Circuit diagrams are used for the design Niklas Hjalmarsson Jersey , construction, and maintenance of electrical and electronic equipment. Circuit diagram symbols have differed from country to country and have changed over time Luke Schenn Jersey , but are now to a large extent internationally standardized. Simple components often had symbols intended to represent some feature of the physical construction of the device.
A less common symbol is simply a series of peaks on one side of the line representing the conductor, rather than back-and-forth. Different symbols may be used depending on the discipline using the drawing; for example Shane Doan Jersey , lighting and power symbols used as part of architectural drawings may be different from symbols for devices used in electronics.
