Pristine π-extended aromatic compounds are attractive as organic functional materials including organic semiconductors, but are difficult to synthesize in pure form because of their low solubility in common organic solvents. ...
The introduction of nanoparticles to intact plant cells is promising as a transporting technique of a wide range of functional molecules.
Among various molecular delivery methods, femtosecond laser photoinjection possesses ...
The researches about a mobile entity (called agent) on dynamic networks have attracted
a lot of attention in recent years. Exploration which requires an agent to visit all the nodes in the
network is one of the most ...

Cities are embracing data-intensive applications to maximize their constrained transportation
networks. Platforms such as Google offer route planning services to mitigate the effect of traf c congestion.
These use remote ...
As aging populations continue to grow, primarily in developed countries, there are increasing demands for the system that monitors the activities of elderly people while continuing to allow them to pursue their individual, ...
Recently, due to the drastic increase in foreign tourists coming to Japan, there has been a demand to provide smart tourism services that enable inbound tourists to comfortably enjoy sightseeing. To provide satisfactory ...
In the tourism sector, user-generated information and communication among tourists are perceived to be more effective and reliable contents. In addition, the collection of dynamic tourism information with high spatio-temporal ...
Finding and fixing buggy code is an important and cost-intensive maintenance task, and static analysis (SA) is one of the methods developers use to perform it. SA tools warn developers about potential bugs by scanning their ...
Phagocytosis is a cellular process for internalization of micron-sized large particles including pathogens. The Bin-Amphiphysin-Rvs167 (BAR) domain proteins, including the FCH-BAR (F-BAR) domain proteins, impose specific ...

Effects of environmental factors for growth of Escherichia coli on spontaneous mutagenesis and homologous recombination events are described. By analyzing rifampicin-resistant (Rifr) mutation frequencies in an E. coli ...
The formation of the chromosome axis is key to meiotic recombination and hence the correct distribution of chromosomes to meiotic products. A key component of the axis in Arabidopsis is the HORMA domain protein (HORMAD) ...
Developing an approach to predict happiness based on individual conditions and actions could enable us to select daily behaviors for enhancing well-being in life. Therefore, we propose a novel approach of applying machine ...
Resting-state fMRI has the potential to help doctors detect abnormal behavior in brain activity and to diagnose patients with depression. However, resting-state fMRI has a bias depending on the scanner site, which makes ...
Human habenula studies are gradually advancing, primarily through the use of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) analysis of passive (Pavlovian) conditioning tasks as well as probabilistic reinforcement learning ...
