Directly translating spoken utterances from a source language to a target language is challenging because it requires a fundamental transformation in both linguistic and para/non-linguistic features. Traditional speech-to-speech ...

We propose an interactive image editing system that has a confirmation dialogue strategy using an entropy-based uncertainty calculation on its generated images with Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Networks (DCGAN). ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
