Overexpression of MSN2, which is the transcription factor gene in response to stress, is well-known to increase the tolerance of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells to a wide variety of environmental stresses. Recent ...
The biological functions of nitric oxide (NO) depend on its concentration, and excessive levels of NO induce various harmful situations known as nitrosative stress. Therefore, organisms possess many kinds of strategies to ...
Femtosecond laser photoporation has become a popular method to deliver various kinds of molecules such as genes, proteins, and fluorescent dyes into single mammalian cells. However, this method is not easily applied to ...
Despite the close relationship between speech perception and production, research in automatic speech recognition (ASR) and text-to-speech synthesis (TTS) has progressed more or less independently without exerting much ...

In order not to disrupt a team member concentrating on his/her own task, the interrupter needs to wait for a proper time. In this research, we examined the feasibility of predicting prospective interruptible times of office ...
Due to the rapid penetration of the Internet of Things (IoT) into human life, illegal access to IoT resources (e.g., data and actuators) has greatly threatened our safety. Access control, which specifies who (i.e., subjects) ...
CdTe nanoparticles capped with a cationic thiolate ligand were stably dispersed in ionic liquids, 1-alkyl-1-methyl-pyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amides with an alkyl group of n-propyl, butyl and octyl-chain, ...
Controller Area Network (CAN) is a de facto standard of in-vehicle networks. Since CAN employs broadcast communication and a slower network than other general networks (e.g. Ethernet, IEEE802.11), it is inherently vulnerable ...
The shapes of plant organs such as sepals are precise and reproducible, although the cells composing these organs are highly heterogeneous. We investigate the collective behavior of a shape deformation model with spatio-temporal ...
The decomposition of light transport into direct and global components, diffuse and specular interreflections, and subsurface scattering allows for new visualizations of light in everyday scenes. In particular, indirect ...
Indoor navigation and localization has gained a key attention of the researchers in the recent decades. Various technologies such as WiFi, Bluetooth, Ultra Wideband (UWB), and Radio-frequency identification (RFID) have ...

We report on the fabrication and characterization of low-dimensional single crystals of hexyl-substituted thiophene/phenylene co-oligomer, 5,5'-Bis(4'-n-hexyl-4-biphenylyl)-2,2'-bithiophene (BP2T-Hx). X-ray diffraction ...
o address the large amount of energy wasted by blockchains, we propose a decentralized consensus protocol for blockchains in which the computation can be used to search for good approximate solutions to any optimization ...
We propose a new blind watermarking algorithm for three-dimensional (3D) printed objects that has applications in metadata embedding, robotic grasping, counterfeit prevention, and crime investigation. Our method can be ...
This paper presents a non-line-of-sight technique to estimate the position and temperature of an occluded object
from a camera via reflection on a wall. Because objects with heat emit far infrared light with respect to ...

To follow the dynamics of meiosis in the model plant Arabidopsis, we have established a live cell imaging setup to observe male meiocytes. Our method is based on the concomitant visualization of microtubules (MTs) and a ...

Accurate chromosome segregation at mitosis and meiosis is crucial to prevent genome instability, birth defect, and cancer. Accordingly, separase, the protease that triggers chromosome distribution, is tightly regulated by ...
