In order to confirm if white-color LED torches can be used as light sources for popular sunset color demonstrations in spite of such differences, spectra of travelled light beams and scattered light beams with each of a white-color LED torch (composed of a blue LED and yellow-color fluorescent material) and a conventional electric torch as a light source were measured and compared with each other in a 50 cm-long water tank for sunset color demonstration experiments. Suspension liquid was prepared from acryl-emulsion and tap-water in the water tank, and light beams from the white-color LED torch or the conventional electric torch were allowed to travel in this suspension liquid. Sunset-like color was actually observed when the white-color LED torch was used as the light source in sunset color demonstrations. However, the observed colors when viewed with naked eye look slightly different from those obtainable with the conventional electric torch. At the same time, with the white-color LED, changes in colors in short to middle wavelength regions were recognized with careful observations. From those results, white-color LED torches are confirmed to be applicable as light sources in sunset color demonstrations, although certain attentions have to be paid. Further advanced classes will be successfully performed with white-color LED torches as light sources. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Blue%20sky%20demonstration" title="Blue sky demonstration">Blue sky demonstration</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=sunset%20color%20demonstration" title=" sunset color demonstration"> sunset color demonstration</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=white%20LED%20torch." title=" white LED torch."> white LED torch.</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10005280/spectra-analysis-in-sunset-color-demonstrations-with-a-white-color-led-as-a-light-source" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10005280/apa" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">APA</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10005280/bibtex" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">BibTeX</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10005280/chicago" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Chicago</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10005280/endnote" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">EndNote</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10005280/harvard" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Harvard</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10005280/json" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">JSON</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10005280/mla" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">MLA</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10005280/ris" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">RIS</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10005280/xml" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">XML</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10005280/iso690" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">ISO 690</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10005280.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">1226</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card publication-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">12</span> k-Neighborhood Template A-Type Three-Dimensional Bounded Cellular Acceptor</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Makoto%20Nagatomo">Makoto Nagatomo</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Yasuo%20Uchida"> Yasuo Uchida</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Makoto%20Sakamoto"> Makoto Sakamoto</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Tuo%20Zhang"> Tuo Zhang</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Tatsuma%20Kurogi"> Tatsuma Kurogi</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Takao%20Ito"> Takao Ito</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Tsunehiro%20Yoshinaga"> Tsunehiro Yoshinaga</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Satoshi%20Ikeda"> Satoshi Ikeda</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Masahiro%20Yokomichi"> Masahiro Yokomichi</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Hiroshi%20Furutani"> Hiroshi Furutani</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> This paper presents a four-dimensional computational model, k-neighborhood template A-type three-dimensional bounded cellular acceptor (abbreviated as A-3BCA(k)), and discusses the hierarchical properties. An A-3BCA(k) is a four-dimensional automaton which consists of a pair of a converter and a configuration-reader. The former converts the given four-dimensional tape to the three- and two- dimensional configuration and the latter determines the acceptance or nonacceptance of given four-dimensional tape whether or not the derived two-dimensional configuration is accepted. We mainly investigate the difference of the accepting power based on the difference of the configuration-reader. It is shown that the difference of the accepting power of the configuration-reader tends to affect directly that of the A-3BCA(k) for the case when the converter is deterministic. On the other hand, results are not analogous for the nondeterministic case. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Cellular%20acceptor" title="Cellular acceptor">Cellular acceptor</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=configuration-reader" title=" configuration-reader"> configuration-reader</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=converter" title=" converter"> converter</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=finite%20automaton" title=" finite automaton"> finite automaton</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=four-dimension" title=" four-dimension"> four-dimension</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=on-line%20tessellation%20acceptor" title=" on-line tessellation acceptor"> on-line tessellation acceptor</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=parallel%2Fsequential%20array%20acceptor" title=" parallel/sequential array acceptor"> parallel/sequential array acceptor</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=turing%20machine." title=" turing machine."> turing machine.</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10004703/k-neighborhood-template-a-type-three-dimensional-bounded-cellular-acceptor" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10004703/apa" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">APA</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10004703/bibtex" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">BibTeX</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10004703/chicago" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Chicago</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10004703/endnote" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">EndNote</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10004703/harvard" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Harvard</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10004703/json" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">JSON</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10004703/mla" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">MLA</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10004703/ris" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">RIS</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10004703/xml" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">XML</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10004703/iso690" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">ISO 690</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10004703.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">1510</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card publication-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">11</span> Hierarchies Based On the Number of Cooperating Systems of Finite Automata on Four-Dimensional Input Tapes</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Makoto%20Sakamoto">Makoto Sakamoto</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Yasuo%20Uchida"> Yasuo Uchida</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Makoto%20Nagatomo"> Makoto Nagatomo</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Takao%20Ito"> Takao Ito</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Tsunehiro%20Yoshinaga">Tsunehiro Yoshinaga</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Satoshi%20Ikeda">Satoshi Ikeda</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Masahiro%20Yokomichi">Masahiro Yokomichi</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Hiroshi%20Furutani"> Hiroshi Furutani</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> <p>In theoretical computer science, the Turing machine has played a number of important roles in understanding and exploiting basic concepts and mechanisms in computing and information processing [20]. It is a simple mathematical model of computers [9]. After that, M.Blum and C.Hewitt first proposed two-dimensional automata as a computational model of two-dimensional pattern processing, and investigated their pattern recognition abilities in 1967 [7]. Since then, a lot of researchers in this field have been investigating many properties about automata on a two- or three-dimensional tape. On the other hand, the question of whether processing fourdimensional digital patterns is much more difficult than two- or threedimensional ones is of great interest from the theoretical and practical standpoints. Thus, the study of four-dimensional automata as a computasional model of four-dimensional pattern processing has been meaningful [8]-[19],[21]. This paper introduces a cooperating system of four-dimensional finite automata as one model of four-dimensional automata. A cooperating system of four-dimensional finite automata consists of a finite number of four-dimensional finite automata and a four-dimensional input tape where these finite automata work independently (in parallel). Those finite automata whose input heads scan the same cell of the input tape can communicate with each other, that is, every finite automaton is allowed to know the internal states of other finite automata on the same cell it is scanning at the moment. In this paper, we mainly investigate some accepting powers of a cooperating system of eight- or seven-way four-dimensional finite automata. The seven-way four-dimensional finite automaton is an eight-way four-dimensional finite automaton whose input head can move east, west, south, north, up, down, or in the fu-ture, but not in the past on a four-dimensional input tape.</p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=computational%20complexity" title="computational complexity">computational complexity</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=cooperating%20system" title=" cooperating system"> cooperating system</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=finite%0D%0Aautomaton" title=" finite automaton"> finite automaton</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=four-dimension" title=" four-dimension"> four-dimension</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=hierarchy" title=" hierarchy"> hierarchy</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=multihead." title=" multihead."> multihead.</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/6351/hierarchies-based-on-the-number-of-cooperating-systems-of-finite-automata-on-four-dimensional-input-tapes" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/6351/apa" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">APA</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/6351/bibtex" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">BibTeX</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/6351/chicago" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Chicago</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/6351/endnote" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">EndNote</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/6351/harvard" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Harvard</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/6351/json" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">JSON</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/6351/mla" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">MLA</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/6351/ris" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">RIS</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/6351/xml" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">XML</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/6351/iso690" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">ISO 690</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/6351.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">1888</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card publication-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">10</span> Online Computing System for Cctuple-Precision Computation with Fortran</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Takemitsu%20Hasegawa">Takemitsu Hasegawa</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Yohsuke%20Hosoda"> Yohsuke Hosoda</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> <p>Computations with higher than the IEEE 754 standard double-precision (about 16 significant digits) are required recently.

In response to this situation, we propose a support package for high school informatics classes. To examine what students learned and if they sufficiently understood the context of the lessons, a questionnaire survey was distributed to 186 students. We analyzed the results of the questionnaire and determined the weakest units, which were “basic computer configuration” and “memory and secondary storage”. We then developed a package for teaching these units. We propose that our package be applied in high school classrooms.</p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Computer%20Science%20Unplugged" title="Computer Science Unplugged">Computer Science Unplugged</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=computer%20science%20outreach" title=" computer science outreach"> computer science outreach</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=high%20school%20curriculum" title=" high school curriculum"> high school curriculum</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=experimental%20evaluation." title=" experimental evaluation."> experimental evaluation.</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/9998703/learning-based-on-computer-science-unplugged-in-computer-science-education-design-development-and-assessment" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/9998703/apa" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">APA</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/9998703/bibtex" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">BibTeX</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/9998703/chicago" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Chicago</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/9998703/endnote" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">EndNote</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/9998703/harvard" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Harvard</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/9998703/json" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">JSON</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/9998703/mla" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">MLA</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/9998703/ris" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">RIS</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/9998703/xml" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">XML</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/9998703/iso690" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">ISO 690</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/9998703.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">2118</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card publication-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">8</span> Efficacy and Stability of Ceramic Powder to Inactivate Avian Influenza Virus </h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Chanathip%20Thammakarn">Chanathip Thammakarn</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Misato%20Tsujimura"> Misato Tsujimura</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Keisuke%20Satoh"> Keisuke Satoh</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Tomomi%20Hasegawa"> Tomomi Hasegawa</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Miho%20Tamura"> Miho Tamura</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Akinobu%20Kawamura"> Akinobu Kawamura</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Yuki%20Ishida"> Yuki Ishida</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Atsushi%20Suguro"> Atsushi Suguro</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Hakimullah%20Hakim"> Hakimullah Hakim</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Sakchai%20Ruenphet"> Sakchai Ruenphet</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q="> </a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Kazuaki%20Takehara"> Kazuaki Takehara</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> <p>This experiment aims to demonstrate the efficacy of ceramic powder derived from various sources to inactivate avian influenza virus and its possibility to use in the environment. The ceramics used in the present experiment were derived from chicken feces (CF), scallop shell (SS), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and soybean (SB). All ceramics were mixed with low pathogenic AIV (LPAIV) H7N1, and then kept at room temperature. The recovered virus was titrated onto Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. All ceramics were assessed the inactivation stability in the environment by keeping under sunlight and under wet-dry condition until reached 7 week or 7 resuspension times respectively. The results indicate that all ceramics have excellent efficacy to inactivate LPAIV. This efficacy can be maintained under the simulated condition. The ceramics are expected to be the good materials for application in the biosecurity system at farms.</p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Avian%20Influenza" title="Avian Influenza">Avian Influenza</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Ceramics" title=" Ceramics"> Ceramics</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Efficacy" title=" Efficacy"> Efficacy</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Stability." title=" Stability."> Stability.</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/16687/efficacy-and-stability-of-ceramic-powder-to-inactivate-avian-influenza-virus" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/16687/apa" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">APA</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/16687/bibtex" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">BibTeX</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/16687/chicago" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Chicago</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/16687/endnote" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">EndNote</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/16687/harvard" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Harvard</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/16687/json" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">JSON</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/16687/mla" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">MLA</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/16687/ris" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">RIS</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/16687/xml" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">XML</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/16687/iso690" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">ISO 690</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/16687.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">1825</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card publication-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">7</span> Stress Distribution in Axisymmetric Indentation of an Elastic Layer-Substrate Body</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Kotaro%20Miura">Kotaro Miura</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Makoto%20Sakamoto"> Makoto Sakamoto</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Yuji%20Tanabe"> Yuji Tanabe</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> <p>We focus on internal stress and displacement of an elastic axisymmetric contact problem for indentation of a layer-substrate body.

Since the waveform of an ultrasound pulse changes at a calcification position, the decorrelation of adjacent scan lines occurs behind a calcification. Therefore, we employ the decorrelation of adjacent scan lines as an indicator of a calcification. The proposed indicator depicted wires 0.05 mm in diameter at 2 cm depth with a sensitivity of 86.7% and a specificity of 100%, which were hardly detected in ultrasound B-mode images. This study shows the potential of the proposed indicator to approximate the detectable calcification size using an US device to that of an X-ray imager, implying the possibility that an US device will become a convenient, safe, and principal clinical tool for the screening of breast cancer. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Ultrasonography" title="Ultrasonography">Ultrasonography</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Calcification" title=" Calcification"> Calcification</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Decorrelation" title=" Decorrelation"> Decorrelation</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Forward%20scattered%20wave" title=" Forward scattered wave"> Forward scattered wave</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/15997/indicator-of-small-calcification-detection-in-ultrasonography-using-decorrelation-of-forward-scattered-waves" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/15997/apa" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">APA</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/15997/bibtex" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">BibTeX</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/15997/chicago" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Chicago</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/15997/endnote" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">EndNote</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/15997/harvard" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Harvard</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/15997/json" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">JSON</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/15997/mla" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">MLA</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/15997/ris" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">RIS</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/15997/xml" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">XML</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/15997/iso690" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">ISO 690</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/15997.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">1452</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card publication-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">5</span> Performance Evaluation of Data Transfer Protocol GridFTP for Grid Computing</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Hiroyuki%20Ohsaki">Hiroyuki Ohsaki</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Makoto%20Imase"> Makoto Imase</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> In Grid computing, a data transfer protocol called GridFTP has been widely used for efficiently transferring a large volume of data. Currently, two versions of GridFTP protocols, GridFTP version 1 (GridFTP v1) and GridFTP version 2 (GridFTP v2), have been proposed in the GGF. GridFTP v2 supports several advanced features such as data streaming, dynamic resource allocation, and checksum transfer, by defining a transfer mode called X-block mode. However, in the literature, effectiveness of GridFTP v2 has not been fully investigated. In this paper, we therefore quantitatively evaluate performance of GridFTP v1 and GridFTP v2 using mathematical analysis and simulation experiments. We reveal the performance limitation of GridFTP v1, and quantitatively show effectiveness of GridFTP v2. Through several numerical examples, we show that by utilizing the data streaming feature, the average file transfer time of GridFTP v2 is significantly smaller than that of GridFTP v1. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Grid%20Computing" title="Grid Computing">Grid Computing</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=GridFTP" title=" GridFTP"> GridFTP</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Performance%20Evaluation" title=" Performance Evaluation"> Performance Evaluation</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Queuing%20Theory." title=" Queuing Theory."> Queuing Theory.</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/7570/performance-evaluation-of-data-transfer-protocol-gridftp-for-grid-computing" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/7570/apa" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">APA</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/7570/bibtex" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">BibTeX</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/7570/chicago" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Chicago</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/7570/endnote" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">EndNote</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/7570/harvard" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Harvard</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/7570/json" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">JSON</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/7570/mla" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">MLA</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/7570/ris" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">RIS</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/7570/xml" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">XML</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/7570/iso690" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">ISO 690</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/7570.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">1411</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card publication-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">4</span> Field Investigation on Modification of Japanese Cedar Pollen Allergen in Urban Air-Polluted Area</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Qingyue%20Wang">Qingyue Wang</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Jun%20Morita"> Jun Morita</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Shinichi%20Nakamura"> Shinichi Nakamura</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Di%20Wu"> Di Wu</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Xiumin%20Gong"> Xiumin Gong</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Miho%20Suzuki"> Miho Suzuki</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Makoto%20Miwa"> Makoto Miwa</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Daisuke%20Nakajima"> Daisuke Nakajima</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> Cry j 1 is a causative substance of Japanese cedar pollinosis, and it may deteriorate by Cry j 1 invasion to a lower respiratory tract.

Airborne Cry j 1 may react with air pollutants and be denature to a substance deteriorated Japanese cedar pollinosis. Therefore, we applied a sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) to evaluate a Cry j 1 reacted with various air pollutants by liquid phase reaction, and calculated kinetics constants of Cry j 1 extracted from pollens collected in various sites and airborne fine particles containing Cry j 1 by using a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) method.

We have developed a four-degrees-of-freedom capacitive force sensor (approximately 20×20×5 mm<sup>3</sup>) that has a flexible structure and sixteen parallel plate capacitors. An iterative algorithm was developed for estimating four displacements from the sixteen capacitances using fourth-order polynomial approximation of characteristics between capacitance and displacement. The estimation results from measured capacitances had large error caused by deterioration of the characteristics. In this study, effective capacitors had major information were selected on the basis of the capacitance change range and the characteristic shape. Maximum errors in calibration and non-calibration points were 25%and 6.8%.However the maximum error was larger than desired value, the smallness of averaged value indicated the occurrence of a few large error points. On the other hand, error in non-calibration point was within desired value.</p> <p> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Force%20sensors" title="Force sensors">Force sensors</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=capacitive%20sensors" title=" capacitive sensors"> capacitive sensors</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=estimation" title=" estimation"> estimation</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=iterative%20algorithms." title=" iterative algorithms."> iterative algorithms.</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/16645/accuracy-of-displacement-estimation-and-selection-of-capacitors-for-a-four-degrees-of-freedom-capacitive-force-sensor" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/16645/apa" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">APA</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/16645/bibtex" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">BibTeX</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/16645/chicago" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Chicago</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/16645/endnote" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">EndNote</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/16645/harvard" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Harvard</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/16645/json" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">JSON</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/16645/mla" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">MLA</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/16645/ris" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">RIS</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/16645/xml" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">XML</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/16645/iso690" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">ISO 690</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/16645.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">1616</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card publication-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">2</span> Positive Analysis on Vulnerability, Information Security Incidents, and the Countermeasures of Japanese Internet Service Providers</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Toshihiko%20Takemura">Toshihiko Takemura</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Makoto%20Osajima"> Makoto Osajima</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Masatoshi%20Kawano"> Masatoshi Kawano</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> <p>This paper includes a positive analysis to quantitatively grasp the relationship among vulnerability, information security incidents, and the countermeasures by using data based on a 2007 questionnaire survey for Japanese ISPs (Internet Service Providers). To grasp the relationships, logistic regression analysis is used. The results clarify that there are relationships between information security incidents and the countermeasures. Concretely, there is a positive relationship between information security incidents and the number of information security systems introduced as well as a negative relationship between information security incidents and information security education. It is also pointed out that (especially, local) ISPs do not execute efficient information security countermeasures/ investment concerned with systems, and it is suggested that they should positively execute information security education. In addition, to further heighten the information security level of Japanese telecommunication infrastructure, the necessity and importance of the government to implement policy to support the countermeasures of ISPs is insisted.</p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Information%20security%20countermeasures" title="Information security countermeasures">Information security countermeasures</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=information%20security%20incidents" title=" information security incidents"> information security incidents</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=internet%20service%20providers" title=" internet service providers"> internet service providers</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=positive%20analysis" title=" positive analysis"> positive analysis</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/3822/positive-analysis-on-vulnerability-information-security-incidents-and-the-countermeasures-of-japanese-internet-service-providers" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/3822/apa" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">APA</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/3822/bibtex" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">BibTeX</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/3822/chicago" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Chicago</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/3822/endnote" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">EndNote</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/3822/harvard" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Harvard</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/3822/json" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">JSON</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/3822/mla" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">MLA</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/3822/ris" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">RIS</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/3822/xml" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">XML</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/3822/iso690" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">ISO 690</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/3822.pdf" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">PDF</a> <span class="bg-info text-light px-1 py-1 float-right rounded"> Downloads <span class="badge badge-light">1665</span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="card publication-listing mb-3 mt-3"> <h5 class="card-header" style="font-size:.9rem"><span class="badge badge-info">1</span> Towards Real-Time Classification of Finger Movement Direction Using Encephalography Independent Components</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Mohamed%20Mounir%20Tellache">Mohamed Mounir Tellache</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Hiroyuki%20Kambara"> Hiroyuki Kambara</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Yasuharu%20Koike"> Yasuharu Koike</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Makoto%20Miyakoshi"> Makoto Miyakoshi</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Natsue%20Yoshimura"> Natsue Yoshimura</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> This study explores the practicality of using electroencephalographic (EEG) independent components to predict eight-direction finger movements in pseudo-real-time. Six healthy participants with individual-head MRI images performed finger movements in eight directions with two different arm configurations. The analysis was performed in two stages. The first stage consisted of using independent component analysis (ICA) to separate the signals representing brain activity from non-brain activity signals and to obtain the unmixing matrix. The resulting independent components (ICs) were checked, and those reflecting brain-activity were selected. Finally, the time series of the selected ICs were used to predict eight finger-movement directions using Sparse Logistic Regression (SLR). The second stage consisted of using the previously obtained unmixing matrix, the selected ICs, and the model obtained by applying SLR to classify a different EEG dataset. This method was applied to two different settings, namely the single-participant level and the group-level. For the single-participant level, the EEG dataset used in the first stage and the EEG dataset used in the second stage originated from the same participant. For the group-level, the EEG datasets used in the first stage were constructed by temporally concatenating each combination without repetition of the EEG datasets of five participants out of six, whereas the EEG dataset used in the second stage originated from the remaining participants. The average test classification results across datasets (mean ± S.D.) were 38.62 ± 8.36% for the single-participant, which was significantly higher than the chance level (12.50 ± 0.01%), and 27.26 ± 4.39% for the group-level which was also significantly higher than the chance level (12.49% ± 0.01%). The classification accuracy within [–45°, 45°] of the true direction is 70.03 ± 8.14% for single-participant and 62.63 ± 6.07% for group-level which may be promising for some real-life applications. Clustering and contribution analyses further revealed the brain regions involved in finger movement and the temporal aspect of their contribution to the classification. These results showed the possibility of using the ICA-based method in combination with other methods to build a real-time system to control prostheses. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Brain-computer%20interface" title="Brain-computer interface">Brain-computer interface</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=BCI" title=" BCI"> BCI</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=electroencephalography" title=" electroencephalography"> electroencephalography</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=EEG" title=" EEG"> EEG</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=finger%20motion%20decoding" title=" finger motion decoding"> finger motion decoding</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=independent%20component%20analysis" title=" independent component analysis"> independent component analysis</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=pseudo-real-time%20motion%20decoding." title=" pseudo-real-time motion decoding.
