In order to reflect prior information or to obtain stable results when the sample size and the number of groups are not sufficiently large, the Bayes method has often been employed in hierarchical data analysis. In these cases, although the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method is a rather powerful tool for parameter estimation, Procedures regarding MCMC have not been formulated for MHLM. For this reason, this research presents concrete procedures for parameter estimation through the use of the Gibbs samplers. Lastly, several future topics for the use of MCMC approach for HLM is discussed.</p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Gibbs%20sampler" title="Gibbs sampler">Gibbs sampler</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Hierarchical%20Linear%20Model" title=" Hierarchical Linear Model"> Hierarchical Linear Model</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Markov%20Chain%20Monte%20Carlo" title=" Markov Chain Monte Carlo"> Markov Chain Monte Carlo</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Multivariate%20Hierarchical%20Linear%20Model" title=" Multivariate Hierarchical Linear Model"> Multivariate Hierarchical Linear Model</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/11498/applying-gibbs-sampler-for-multivariate-hierarchical-linear-model" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/11498/apa" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">APA</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/11498/bibtex" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">BibTeX</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/11498/chicago" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Chicago</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/11498/endnote" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">EndNote</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/11498/harvard" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Harvard</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/11498/json" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">JSON</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/11498/mla" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">MLA</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/11498/ris" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">RIS</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/11498/xml" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">XML</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/11498/iso690" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">ISO 690</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/11498.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">1867</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">15</span> Some Improvements on Kumlander-s Maximum Weight Clique Extraction Algorithm</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Satoshi%20Shimizu">Satoshi Shimizu</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Kazuaki%20Yamaguchi"> Kazuaki Yamaguchi</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Toshiki%20Saitoh"> Toshiki Saitoh</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Sumio%20Masuda"> Sumio Masuda</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> <p>Some fast exact algorithms for the maximum weight clique problem have been proposed.

The proposed architecture separates SubBytes and MixColumns into two parallel data path, and supports different bit-width operation for this two data path. As a result, different number of S-box can be supported in this architecture. The throughput and power consumption can be adjusted by changing the number of S-box running in this design. Using the TSMC 0.18μm CMOS standard cell library, a very low-cost implementation of 7K Gates is obtained under 182MHz frequency. The maximum throughput is 360Mbps while using 4 S-Box simultaneously, and the minimum throughput is 114Mbps while only using 1 S-Box <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=AES" title="AES">AES</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Reconfigurable%20architecture" title=" Reconfigurable architecture"> Reconfigurable architecture</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=low%20cost" title=" low cost"> low cost</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/234/a-low-cost-reconfigurable-architecture-for-aes-algorithm" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/234/apa" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">APA</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/234/bibtex" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">BibTeX</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/234/chicago" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Chicago</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/234/endnote" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">EndNote</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/234/harvard" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Harvard</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/234/json" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">JSON</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/234/mla" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">MLA</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/234/ris" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">RIS</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/234/xml" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">XML</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/234/iso690" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">ISO 690</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/234.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">2067</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">13</span> CBCTL: A Reasoning System of TemporalEpistemic Logic with Communication Channel</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Suguru%20Yoshioka">Suguru Yoshioka</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Satoshi%20Tojo"> Satoshi Tojo</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> This paper introduces a temporal epistemic logic CBCTL that updates agent-s belief states through communications in them, based on computational tree logic (CTL). In practical environments, communication channels between agents may not be secure, and in bad cases agents might suffer blackouts. In this study, we provide inform* protocol based on ACL of FIPA, and declare the presence of secure channels between two agents, dependent on time. Thus, the belief state of each agent is updated along with the progress of time. We show a prover, that is a reasoning system for a given formula in a given a situation of an agent ; if it is directly provable or if it could be validated through the chains of communications, the system returns the proof. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=communication%20channel" title="communication channel">communication channel</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=computational%20tree%20logic" title=" computational tree logic"> computational tree logic</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=reasoning%20system" title="reasoning system">reasoning system</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=temporal%20epistemic%20logic." title=" temporal epistemic logic."> temporal epistemic logic.</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/5736/cbctl-a-reasoning-system-of-temporalepistemic-logic-with-communication-channel" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/5736/apa" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">APA</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/5736/bibtex" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">BibTeX</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/5736/chicago" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Chicago</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/5736/endnote" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">EndNote</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/5736/harvard" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Harvard</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/5736/json" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">JSON</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/5736/mla" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">MLA</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/5736/ris" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">RIS</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/5736/xml" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">XML</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/5736/iso690" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">ISO 690</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/5736.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">1247</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> Application of “Multiple Risk Communicator“ to the Personal Information Leakage Problem</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Mitsuhiro%20Taniyama">Mitsuhiro Taniyama</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Yuu%20Hidaka"> Yuu Hidaka</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Masato%20Arai"> Masato Arai</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Satoshi%20Kai"> Satoshi Kai</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Hiromi%20Igawa"> Hiromi Igawa</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Hiroshi%20Yajima"> Hiroshi Yajima</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Ryoichi%20Sasaki"> Ryoichi Sasaki</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> Along with the progress of our information society, various risks are becoming increasingly common, causing multiple social problems. For this reason, risk communications for establishing consensus among stakeholders who have different priorities have become important. However, it is not always easy for the decision makers to agree on measures to reduce risks based on opposing concepts, such as security, privacy and cost. Therefore, we previously developed and proposed the “Multiple Risk Communicator" (MRC) with the following functions: (1) modeling the support role of the risk specialist, (2) an optimization engine, and (3) displaying the computed results. In this paper, MRC program version 1.0 is applied to the personal information leakage problem.

Results of the empirical analysis confirm the usefulness of the proposed method. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Empirical%20Bayes" title="Empirical Bayes">Empirical Bayes</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Hazard%20term%20structure" title=" Hazard term structure"> Hazard term structure</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Loss%20given%0Adefault." title=" Loss given default."> Loss given default.</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/14815/simultaneous-term-structure-estimation-of-hazard-and-loss-given-default-with-a-statistical-model-using-credit-rating-and-financial-information" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/14815/apa" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">APA</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/14815/bibtex" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">BibTeX</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/14815/chicago" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Chicago</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/14815/endnote" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">EndNote</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/14815/harvard" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Harvard</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/14815/json" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">JSON</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/14815/mla" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">MLA</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/14815/ris" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">RIS</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/14815/xml" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">XML</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/14815/iso690" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">ISO 690</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/14815.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">1667</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> Utility Analysis of API Economy Based on Multi-Sided Platform Markets Model</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Mami%20Sugiura">Mami Sugiura</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Shinichi%20Arakawa"> Shinichi Arakawa</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Masayuki%20Murata"> Masayuki Murata</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Satoshi%20Imai"> Satoshi Imai</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Toru%20Katagiri"> Toru Katagiri</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Motoyoshi%20Sekiya"> Motoyoshi Sekiya</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> API (Application Programming Interface) economy, where many participants join/interact and form the economy, is expected to increase collaboration between information services through API, and thereby, it is expected to increase market value from the service collaborations. In this paper, we introduce API evaluators, which are the activator of API economy by reviewing and/or evaluating APIs, and develop a multi-sided API economy model that formulates interactions among platform provider, API developers, consumers, and API evaluators. By obtaining the equilibrium that maximizes utility of all participants, the impact of API evaluators on the utility of participants in the API economy is revealed. Numerical results show that, with the existence of API evaluators, the number of developers and consumers increase by 1.5% and the utility of platformer increases by 2.3%. We also discuss the strategies of platform provider to maximize its utility under the existence of API evaluators. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=API%20economy" title="API economy">API economy</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=multi-sided%20markets" title=" multi-sided markets"> multi-sided markets</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=API%0D%0Aevaluator" title=" API evaluator"> API evaluator</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=platform" title=" platform"> platform</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=platform%20provider." title=" platform provider."> platform provider.</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10011919/utility-analysis-of-api-economy-based-on-multi-sided-platform-markets-model" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10011919/apa" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">APA</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10011919/bibtex" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">BibTeX</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10011919/chicago" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Chicago</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10011919/endnote" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">EndNote</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10011919/harvard" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Harvard</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10011919/json" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">JSON</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10011919/mla" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">MLA</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10011919/ris" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">RIS</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10011919/xml" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">XML</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10011919/iso690" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">ISO 690</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10011919.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">546</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">9</span> Utilizing Dredged Sediment for Enhancing Growth of Eelgrass in Artificially Prepared Substrates</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Amelia%20B.%20Hizon-Fradejas">Amelia B.

For AE technique, it is not difficult to detect a PD using AE sensors. However, it is difficult to grasp whether the detected AE signal is owing to a single discharge or not. Additionally, when an AE technique is applied at a terminal section of a XLPE cable in salt pollution district, for example, there is possibility of detection of AE signals owing to creeping discharges on the surface of electric power apparatus. In this study, we evaluated AE signals in order to grasp what kind of information we can get from detected AE signals.

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">6</span> Evaluation of Service Continuity in a Self-organizing IMS</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Satoshi%20Komorita">Satoshi Komorita</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Tsunehiko%20Chiba"> Tsunehiko Chiba</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Hidetoshi%20Yokota"> Hidetoshi Yokota</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Ashutosh%20Dutta"> Ashutosh Dutta</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Christian%20Makaya"> Christian Makaya</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Subir%20Das"> Subir Das</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Dana%20Chee"> Dana Chee</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=F.%20Joe%20Lin"> F.

While there have been tremendous efforts to develop its architecture and protocols, especially for IMS, which is a key technology of the NGN, it is far from being widely deployed. However, efforts to create an advanced signaling infrastructure realizing many requirements have resulted in a large number of functional components and interactions between those components. Thus, the carriers are trying to explore effective ways to deploy IMS while offering value-added services. As one such approach, we have proposed a self-organizing IMS. A self-organizing IMS enables IMS functional components and corresponding physical nodes to adapt dynamically and automatically based on situation such as network load and available system resources while continuing IMS operation. To realize this, service continuity for users is an important requirement when a reconfiguration occurs during operation. In this paper, we propose a mechanism that will provide service continuity to users and focus on the implementation and describe performance evaluation in terms of number of control signaling and processing time during reconfiguration <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=IMS" title="IMS">IMS</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=SIP" title=" SIP"> SIP</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Service%20Continuity" title=" Service Continuity"> Service Continuity</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Self-organizing" title=" Self-organizing"> Self-organizing</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=and%20Performance." title=" and Performance."> and Performance.</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/7/evaluation-of-service-continuity-in-a-self-organizing-ims" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/7/apa" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">APA</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/7/bibtex" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">BibTeX</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/7/chicago" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Chicago</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/7/endnote" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">EndNote</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/7/harvard" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Harvard</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/7/json" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">JSON</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/7/mla" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">MLA</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/7/ris" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">RIS</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/7/xml" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">XML</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/7/iso690" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">ISO 690</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/7.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">1598</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> The Role of Initiator in the Synthesis of Poly(Methyl Methacrylate)-Layered Silicate Nanocomposites through Bulk Polymerization</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Tsung-Yen%20Tsai">Tsung-Yen Tsai</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Naveen%20Bunekar"> Naveen Bunekar</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Ming%20Hsuan%20Chang"> Ming Hsuan Chang</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Wen-Kuang%20Wang"> Wen-Kuang Wang</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Satoshi%20Onda"> Satoshi Onda</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> <p>The structure-property relationship and initiator effect on bulk polymerized poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)–oragnomodified layered silicate nanocomposites was investigated. In this study, we used 2, 2'-azobis (4-methoxy-2,4-dimethyl valeronitrile and benzoyl peroxide initiators for bulk polymerization. The bulk polymerized nanocomposites’ morphology was investigated by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The type of initiator strongly influences the physiochemical properties of the polymer nanocomposite. The thermal degradation of PMMA in the presence of nanofiller was studied. 5 wt% weight loss temperature (T5d) increased as compared to pure PMMA. The peak degradation temperature increased for the nanocomposites. Differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic mechanical analysis were performed to investigate the glass transition temperature and the nature of the constrained region as the reinforcement mechanism respectively. Furthermore, the optical properties such as UV-Vis and Total Luminous Transmission of nanocomposites are examined.</p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Initiator" title="Initiator">Initiator</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=bulk%20polymerization" title=" bulk polymerization"> bulk polymerization</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=layered%20silicates" title=" layered silicates"> layered silicates</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=methyl%20methacrylate." title=" methyl methacrylate."> methyl methacrylate.</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10009367/the-role-of-initiator-in-the-synthesis-of-polymethyl-methacrylate-layered-silicate-nanocomposites-through-bulk-polymerization" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10009367/apa" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">APA</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10009367/bibtex" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">BibTeX</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10009367/chicago" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Chicago</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10009367/endnote" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">EndNote</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10009367/harvard" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Harvard</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10009367/json" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">JSON</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10009367/mla" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">MLA</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10009367/ris" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">RIS</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10009367/xml" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">XML</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10009367/iso690" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">ISO 690</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10009367.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">953</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> A Method for Consensus Building between Teachers and Learners in a Value Co-Creative Learning Service</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Ryota%20Sugino">Ryota Sugino</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Satoshi%20Mizoguchi"> Satoshi Mizoguchi</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Koji%20Kimita"> Koji Kimita</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Keiichi%20Muramatsu"> Keiichi Muramatsu</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Tatsunori%20Matsui"> Tatsunori Matsui</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Yoshiki%20Shimomura"> Yoshiki Shimomura</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> Improving added value and productivity of services entails improving both value-in-exchange and value-in-use. Value-in-use is realized by value co-creation, where providers and receivers create value together. In higher education services, value-in-use comes from learners achieving learning outcomes (e.g., knowledge and skills) that are consistent with their learning goals. To enhance the learning outcomes of a learner, it is necessary to enhance and utilize the abilities of the teacher along with the abilities of the learner. To do this, however, the learner and the teacher need to build a consensus about their respective roles. Teachers need to provide effective learning content; learners need to choose the appropriate learning strategies by using the learning content through consensus building. This makes consensus building an important factor in value co-creation. However, methods to build a consensus about their respective roles may not be clearly established, making such consensus difficult. In this paper, we propose some strategies for consensus building between a teacher and a learner in value co-creation. We focus on a teacher and learner co-design and propose an analysis method to clarify a collaborative design process to realize value co-creation. We then analyze some counseling data obtained from a university class. This counseling aimed to build a consensus for value-in-use, learning outcomes, and learning strategies between the teacher and the learner. <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Consensus%20building" title="Consensus building">Consensus building</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=value%20co-creation" title=" value co-creation"> value co-creation</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=higher%20education" title=" higher education"> higher education</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=learning%20service." title=" learning service."> learning service.</a> </p> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10003613/a-method-for-consensus-building-between-teachers-and-learners-in-a-value-co-creative-learning-service" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Procedia</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10003613/apa" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">APA</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10003613/bibtex" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">BibTeX</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10003613/chicago" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Chicago</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10003613/endnote" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">EndNote</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10003613/harvard" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Harvard</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10003613/json" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">JSON</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10003613/mla" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">MLA</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10003613/ris" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">RIS</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10003613/xml" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">XML</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10003613/iso690" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">ISO 690</a> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/10003613.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">1773</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">3</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">2</span> Path-Tracking Controller for Tracked Mobile Robot on Rough Terrain</h5> <div class="card-body"> <p class="card-text"><strong>Authors:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Toshifumi%20Hiramatsu">Toshifumi Hiramatsu</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Satoshi%20Morita"> Satoshi Morita</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Manuel%20Pencelli"> Manuel Pencelli</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Marta%20Niccolini"> Marta Niccolini</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Matteo%20Ragaglia"> Matteo Ragaglia</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Alfredo%20Argiolas"> Alfredo Argiolas</a> </p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> <p>Automation technologies for agriculture field are needed to promote labor-saving. One of the most relevant problems in automated agriculture is represented by controlling the robot along a predetermined path in presence of rough terrain or incline ground. Unfortunately, disturbances originating from interaction with the ground, such as slipping, make it quite difficult to achieve the required accuracy. In general, it is required to move within 5-10 cm accuracy with respect to the predetermined path. Moreover, lateral velocity caused by gravity on the incline field also affects slipping. In this paper, a path-tracking controller for tracked mobile robots moving on rough terrains of incline field such as vineyard is presented. The controller is composed of a disturbance observer and an adaptive controller based on the kinematic model of the robot. The disturbance observer measures the difference between the measured and the reference yaw rate and linear velocity in order to estimate slip. Then, the adaptive controller adapts “virtual” parameter of the kinematics model: Instantaneous Centers of Rotation (ICRs). Finally, target angular velocity reference is computed according to the adapted parameter. This solution allows estimating the effects of slip without making the model too complex. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed solution is tested in a simulation environment.</p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Agricultural%20robot" title="Agricultural robot">Agricultural robot</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=autonomous%20control" title=" autonomous control"> autonomous control</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=path-tracking%20control" title=" path-tracking control"> path-tracking control</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=tracked%20mobile%20robot." title=" tracked mobile robot.

Although at present most RO membranes have no resistance to chlorine, chlorine-resistant membranes are being developed. Therefore, direct chlorine treatment or chlorine washing will be an option in preventing biofouling on chlorine-resistant membranes. Furthermore, if particle accumulation control is possible by using chlorine washing, expensive pretreatment for particle removal can be removed or simplified. The objective of this study was to determine the effective hypochlorite washing condition required for controlling biofilm formation and inorganic particle accumulation on RO membrane in a continuous flow channel with RO membrane and spacer. In this study, direct chlorine washing was done by soaking fouled RO membranes in hypochlorite solution and fluorescence intensity was used to quantify biofilm on the membrane surface. After 48 h of soaking the membranes in high fouling potential waters, the fluorescence intensity decreased to 0 from 470 using the following washing conditions: 10 mg/L chlorine concentration, 2 times/d washing interval, and 30 min washing time. The chlorine concentration required to control biofilm formation decreased as the chlorine concentration (0.5–10 mg/L), the washing interval (1–4 times/d), or the washing time (1–30 min) increased. For the sample solutions used in the study, 10 mg/L chlorine concentration with 2 times/d interval, and 5 min washing time was required for biofilm control. The optimum chlorine washing conditions obtained from soaking experiments proved to be applicable also in controlling biofilm formation in continuous flow experiments. Moreover, chlorine washing employed in controlling biofilm with suspended particles resulted in lower amounts of organic (0.03 mg/cm<sup>2</sup>) and inorganic (0.14 mg/cm<sup>2</sup>) deposits on the membrane than that for sample water without chlorine washing (0.14 mg/cm<sup>2</sup> and 0.33 mg/cm<sup>2</sup>, respectively). The amount of biofilm formed was 79% controlled by continuous washing with 10 mg/L of free chlorine concentration, and the inorganic accumulation amount decreased by 58% to levels similar to that of pure water with kaolin (0.17 mg/cm<sup>2</sup>) as feed water. These results confirmed the acceleration of particle accumulation due to biofilm formation, and that the inhibition of biofilm growth can almost completely reduce further particle accumulation. In addition, effective hypochlorite washing condition which can control both biofilm formation and particle accumulation could be achieved.</p> <p class="card-text"><strong>Keywords:</strong> <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=Biofouling%20control" title="Biofouling control">Biofouling control</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=hypochlorite" title=" hypochlorite"> hypochlorite</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=reverse%20osmosis" title=" reverse osmosis"> reverse osmosis</a>, <a href="https://publications.waset.org/search?q=washing%20condition%20optimization." title=" washing condition optimization.
