Hidehisa Semba broke into his former wife’s Ala Moana apartment Jan. 18, 2000 and slashed her with a knife.
Harrison said Semba has a "long and substantial" psychiatric history, including a diagnosis of schizophrenia, but doctors believed his mental state did not substantially impair him at the time of the kidnapping.
Semba told doctors he heard his ex-wife’s voice in his head saying she wanted him to rescue her from her boyfriend, Harrison said.

Angolan semba is an ancient rhythm, traditionally accompanied by smooth undulations of the hips and belly.
Semba was originally danced to celebrate good harvests, marriages, births and other occasions.
Before Portuguese missionaries spread Christianity throughout the country, Angolans used to dance semba as a way of worshipping their gods, especially the mermaid Kianda, goddess of the sea.

Thirty-two percent of mothers low in vitamin A transmitted the virus to their children; only 7 percent of babies born to mothers with healthy levels of the vitamin were born with the virus.
Dr. Semba said he has been studying vitamin A for about seven years, initially doing research with School of Public Health Dean Alfred Sommer, who determined that regular vitamin A supplementation could reduce child mortality by about one-third in developing countries.

 Rock Paper Scissors - Bonga, Kaxexe (Times Square) - Press Release
The music was an effective soundtrack for revolution as the lyrics spoke of the plight of Angolans and their struggle to gain independence from Portugal.
It was originally used to celebrate harvests, weddings, and births, and—prior to the arrival of Portuguese missionaries—semba was used as a dance form associated with worshiping the gods.
Both styles share the familiar pulse, but semba melds vocal styles and phrasings of both Portugal and Brazil, without the use of a large band often typical of Brazilian samba.

 Vitamin A Deficiency & HIV transmission   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Thus, vitamin A deficiency can be "a double whammy" on the immune system, Dr. Semba said, because pregnancy itself increases demand for the vitamin for both the woman and fetus and H.I.V. infection can interfere with intake and absorption of vitamin A and can deplete existing stores.
Semba's team found the link in a study of 567 H.I.V.-infected pregnant women at a hospital in Blantyre, Malawi.
Semba said he believed that vitamin A deficiency could be an important factor in explaining the differences.

Richard D. Semba from Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, and colleagues measured hemoglobin and plasma ferritin in 136 HIV-positive and 61 HIV-negative female injection drug users.
Among the HIV-positive women, the prevalence of anemia was 44.1% and for HIV-negative women the prevalence of anemia was 26.2% (p < 0.17), according to the report in the February 1st issue of the Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes.
Semba's team adds that "further research is needed to determine whether the benefits of iron supplementation in this population outweigh the potential risks."

 Alexander Capital Access - Kansai Report
The initiators of this project have code-named it "Semba Digital Town." The original spark for the project seems to have been provided by Kazuyuki Konagaya, a professor at the Institute for Economic Research at Osaka City University, a university owned by the city government.
When he learned of the Semba Digital Town project, it brought together all the elements he needed, notably an organization for matching the needs of landlords with the needs of SOHO tenants.
Semba Digital Town is working with a service called Jyu.Hachu.com (written 10.8chu.com) which is run by the Nippon Teleworking Association (whose secretary-general, Norimasa Yoshida, is also a committee member of Semba Digital Town).

 The anemia of vitamin A deficiency: epidemiology and pathogenesis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
In 1924 Erik Widmark, a professor at the University of Lund, concluded 'there must be in a population in which xerophthalmia occurs a much larger number of cases in which the deficiency in vitamin A, without producing the eye disease, is the cause of a diminished resistance to infections' (Widmark, 1924).
Human immunodeficiency virus infection (Semba and Gray, 2001) and tuberculosis (Morris et al, 1989) are two well-known causes of the anemia of infection.

The Semba Lotus SMB system takes the inherent benefits of SMB (over fifty stages of separation versus one separation stage for flash chromatography and HPLC) while at the same time using disposable cartridges to make changing to a new separation need quick and easy.
The Semba Lotus SMB system is the first SMB device to allow discovery processing.
SMB is also cost effective as it utilizes “disposable” adsorbent cartridges which minimize cross contamination between batches of feed-stocks to be processed.

 Hoppy Kamiyama + Bill Laswell: A Navel City / No One Is There - PopMatters Music Review
At around three minutes, something akin to a small flute is improvising whilst Semba starts to tighten up his drumming, the kick drum thumping things into line, and Laswell starts moving into a circular, gliding groove, Kamiyama adding weird, rhythmic squelching noises, little splashes of cold acid rain.
A minute later and he's improvising on the keyboard in short disjointed chunks, whilst Semba begins to build up a head of steam via a repetitive but powerful cymbal pulse.
What Semba and Kamiyama have managed to do is create compositions that always sound focused, with enough leeway for improvisation to give the listener the impression that he's hearing each piece develop as he listens; an exploration of timbres, rhythms, and sounds that wends its intriguing way unpredictably, without ever becoming monotonous or atonal.

 Prevalence, Cumulative Incidence of Anemia High Among HIV-Infected Women
Richard D. Semba and other HERS Group investigators analyzed data on the 797 HIV-positive and 389 HIV-negative women who presented for at least two study visits.
Fever and zidovudine use were risk factors for anemia in the pre-HAART period of the study (1993 to 1996) but not during the HAART period (1996 to 2000).
Anemia has been found to increase the risk of death in HIV-infected adults generally, but Dr. Semba's team is the first to specify this observation for HIV-positive women.

 New & Noteworthy in Nutrition
Earlier studies in Malawi by Richard Semba and others of Johns Hopkins suggested the possibility that women deficient in vitamin A may be more likely than others to transmit the HIV virus in breastmilk (New and Noteworthy in Nutrition No. 27).
But after the Semba team followed up with a more definitive study that provided vitamin A supplements, they found no evidence to confirm the premise.
Observed in the study was that most women do not, in fact, have high HIV levels in their breastmilk - nor do they transmit the virus to their infants - unless they also have mastitis.

That's where Yoshitaka and Kaori Semba have opened Majolica, an authentic Spanish restaurant where visitors can munch on tapas featuring "little bites" of shrimp, trout, sardines and calamari; sip sangria and port; and feast upon paella and lamb.
The Sembas, who moved from Hokkaido, Japan, to New York seven years ago, chose the name Majolica ---- a type of Mediterranean, heavily glazed pottery associated with Spain ---- because they were searching for a single word that would conjure images of Spain in the minds of their customers.
Kaori Semba said that although Spanish and Japanese cuisine may seem on the surface to be as far apart as the countries are geographically, they are actually quite close.
