The grating, lens, and linear sensor determine a spectrometer’s wavelength resolution
and measurement range. While conventional methods have tried to improve the optical design to
obtain a better resolution, they have a ...
Human iPS cell (iPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes (CMs) hold promise for drug discovery for heart diseases and cardiac toxicity tests. To utilize human iPSC-derived CMs, the establishment of three-dimensional (3D) heart tissues ...
Microfluidic focusing of particles (both synthetic and biological), which enables precise control over the positions of particles in a tightly focused stream, is a prerequisite step for the downstream processing, such as ...
We propose a clustering-based filtering method for a similar source code fragment search.
This method groups code fragments by clustering and excludes codes with a low probability of correct
answers from the output. We ...
Experts in sports science anticipate substantial training gains that can result from elevated cerebral activity when face-swapping technology is used in videos of athletes to facilitate their motor imagery (Matsumura et ...
This paper proposes emotion amplification for TV chat agents allowing users to get more excited in TV sports programs, and a model that estimates the excitement level of TV programs based on the number of social comment ...
The human perception of phonemes is biased against speech sounds. The lack of correspondence between perceputal phonemes and acoustic signals forms a big challenge in designing unsupervised algorithms to distinguish phonemes ...
This study examined the psychological distress caused by non-coercive lockdown (mild lockdown) in Japan. An online survey was conducted with 11,333 people (52.4% females; mean age = 46.3 ± 14.6 years, range = 18–89 years) ...

Remarkable achievements by deep neural networks stand on the development of excellent stochastic gradient descent methods. Deep-learning-based machine learning algorithms, however, have to find patterns between observations ...
A variational autoencoder (VAE) derived from Tsallis statistics called q-VAE is proposed. In the proposed method, a standard VAE is employed to statistically extract latent space hidden in sampled data, and this latent ...
One of the goals of expression proteomics is to display and analyze all the proteins in a particular proteome.
Cells are thought to comprise tens of thousands of proteins expressed in a dynamic range of 1-105 or 106. Low ...

Embryonic stem (ES) cells are a useful experimental material to recapitulate the differentiation steps of early embryos, which are usually invisible and inaccessible from outside of the body, especially in mammals. ES cells ...
Background: Medical articles covering adverse drug events (ADEs) are systematically reported by pharmaceutical companies for drug safety information purposes. Although policies governing reporting to regulatory bodies vary ...
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in travel applications that provide on-site personalized tourist spot recommendations. While generally helpful, most available options offer choices based solely on static ...
Deep learning approaches are widely used to search molecular structures for a candidate drug/material. The basic approach in drug/material candidate structure discovery is to embed a relationship that holds between a ...

Trilayer films consisting of ferromagnetic NiFe, nonmagnetic Cu or Ru, and antiferromagnetic FeMn layers were prepared by sputtering technique. The long-range exchange bias properties were investigated with magnetization ...
This paper presents a self-contained micro-optical system that is magnification-controlled by adjusting the positions of the microlens in the device via pneumatic air pressure. Unlike conventional dynamic microlenses made ...

Contactless particle manipulation based on a thermal field has shown great potential for biological, medical, and materials science applications. However, thermal diffusion from a high-temperature area causes thermal damage ...
In virtual reality (VR) tourism, when watching a video of a tourist location, the feeling of presence improves the experience. Furthermore, it is desirable to be able to give a feeling of having been there before to the ...
