kn-title=Blood Pressure and Heart Rate Patterns Identified by Unsupervised Machine Learning and Their Associations with Subclinical Cerebral and Renal Damage in a Japanese Community: The Masuda Study
en-subtitle=

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=We applied unsupervised machine learning to analyze blood pressure (BP) and resting heart rate (HR) patterns measured during a 1-year period to assess their cross-sectional relationships with subclinical cerebral and renal target damage. Dimension reduction via uniform manifold approximation and projection, followed by K-means++ clustering, was used to categorize 362 community-dwelling participants (mean age, 56.2 years; 54.9% women) into three groups: Low BP and Low HR (Lo-BP/Lo-HR), High BP and High HR (Hi-BP/Hi-HR), and Low BP and High HR (Lo-BP/Hi-HR). Cerebral vessel lesions were defined as the presence of at least one of the following magnetic resonance imaging findings: lacunar infarcts, white matter hyperintensities, cerebral microbleeds, or intracranial artery stenosis. A high urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) was defined as the top 10% (≥ 12 mg/g) of the mean value from ≥2 measurements. Poisson regression with robust error variance, adjusted for demographics, lifestyle, and medical history, showed that the Hi-BP/Hi-HR group had relative risks of 3.62 (95% confidence interval, 1.75-7.46) for cerebral vessel lesions and 3.58 (1.33-9.67) for high UACR, and the Lo-BP/Hi-HR group had a relative risk of 3.09 (1.12-8.57) for high UACR, compared with the Lo-BP/Lo-HR group. These findings demonstrate the utility of an unsupervised, data-driven approach for identifying physiological patterns associated with subclinical target organ damage.

kn-title=A Fundamental Statistics Self-Learning Method with Python Programming for Data Science Implementations
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The increasing demand for data-driven decision making to maintain the innovations and competitiveness of organizations highlights the need for data science educations across academia and industry. At its core is a solid understanding of statistics, which is necessary for conducting a thorough analysis of data and deriving valuable insights. Unfortunately, conventional statistics learning often lacks practice in real-world applications using computer programs, causing a separation between conceptual knowledge of statistics equations and their hands-on skills. Integrating statistics learning into Python programming can convey an effective solution for this problem, where it has become essential in data science implementations, with extensive and versatile libraries. In this paper, we present a self-learning method for fundamental statistics through Python programming for data science studies. Unlike conventional approaches, our method integrates three types of interactive problems—element fill-in-blank problem (EFP), grammar-concept understanding problem (GUP), and value trace problem (VTP)—in the Programming Learning Assistant System (PLAS). This combination allows students to write code, understand concepts, and trace the output value while obtaining instant feedback so that they can improve retention, knowledge, and practical skills in learning statistics using Python programming. For evaluations, we generated 22 instances using source codes for fundamental statistics topics, and assigned them to 40 first-year undergraduate students at UPN Veteran Jawa Timur, Indonesia. Statistics analytical methods were utilized to analyze the student learning performances. The results show that a significant correlation (𝜌<0.05) exists between the students who solved our proposal and those who did not. The results confirm that it can effectively assist students in learning fundamental statistics self-learning using Python programming for data science implementations.

kn-title=An Automatic Code Generation Tool Using Generative Artificial Intelligence for Element Fill-in-the-Blank Problems in a Java Programming Learning Assistant System
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Presently, Java is a fundamental object-oriented programming language that can be mastered by any student in information technology or computer science. To assist both teachers and students, we developed the Java Programming Learning Assistant System (JPLAS). It offers several types of practice problems with different levels and learning goals for step-by-step self-study, where any answer is automatically marked in the system. One challenge for teachers that is addressed with JPLAS is the generation of proper exercise problems that meet learning requirements. We implemented programs for generating new problems from given source codes, as collecting and evaluating suitable codes remains time-consuming. In this paper, we present an automatic code generation tool using generative AI to solve this challenge. Prompt engineering is used to help generate an appropriate source code, and the quality is controlled by optimizing the prompt based on the outputs. For applications in JPLAS, we implement a web application system to automatically generate an element fill-in-the-blank problem (EFP) in JPLAS. For evaluation, we select the element fill-in-the-blank problem (EFP) as the target type in JPLAS and generate several instances using this tool. The results confirm the validity and effectiveness of the proposed method.

kn-title=Spatiotemporal evolution of ecosystem carbon storage under land use/land cover dynamics in the coastal region of Central Vietnam
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Ecosystem carbon storage is a cost-effective strategy for global climate change mitigation, and its fluctuation is markedly shaped by land use/land cover (LULC) dynamics. Taking Danang city as an example of Central Coastal Vietnam, this study aims to assess LULC changes and analyze the spatiotemporal evolution of carbon storage from 2023 to 2050 under four LULC change scenarios, including natural trend scenario (NTS), ecological protection scenario (EPS), economic development scenario (EDS), and cropland protection scenario (CPS), by integrating the support vector machine-cellular automata-Markov (SVM-CA-Markov) model and the InVEST model. The Optimal Parameters-based Geographical Detector (OPGD) model was subsequently employed to elucidate the impacts of driving factors on the spatial distribution of carbon storage. The results showed that, from 2007 to 2023, Danang city experienced a dramatic back-and-forth transformation between LULC types, with the predominant transitions being from natural forest to acacia tree-dominated plantation forest (6492.31 ha), and from cropland to settlements, acacia tree-dominated plantation forest, and other land (5483.05 ha, 3763.66 ha, 2762.35 ha, respectively). Between 2023 and 2050, LULC transformations in Danang city are projected to yield varying degrees of carbon storage levels across different scenarios. Specifically, carbon storage is anticipated to dwindle by 0.221 Mt, 0.223 Mt, and 0.298 Mt under NTS, EDS, and CPS, respectively, while enhancing by 0.141 Mt under EPS. Regarding the spatial distribution of carbon storage, high values will be chiefly found in the western high-elevation mountainous region, while low values will be concentrated mostly in the eastern lower-lying areas of the city. Additionally, elevation and temperature acted as the two most significant driving factors influencing the spatial distribution of carbon storage, with Q values of 0.88 and 0.86 (p-value < 0.05), respectively. For interaction detection, the combination of elevation and soil exhibited a synergistic reinforcement effect on the spatial partitioning of carbon storage, with a high Q value of 0.9566 (p-value < 0.05). Our study highlights the necessity of ecological conservation measures in Danang city in the on-track pursuit of national net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

kn-title=Experimental and numerical study on the inertial migration of hydrogel particles suspended in square channel flows
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The inertial migration of hydrogel particles suspended in a Newtonian fluid flowing through a square channel is studied both experimentally and numerically. Experimental results demonstrate significant differences in the focusing positions of the deformable and rigid particles, highlighting the role of particle deformability in inertial migration. At low Reynolds numbers (Re), hydrogel particles migrate towards the centre of the channel cross-section, whereas the rigid spheres exhibit negligible lateral motion. At finite Re, they focus at four points along the diagonals in the downstream cross-section, in contrast to the rigid particles which focus near the centre of the channel face at similar Re . Numerical simulations using viscous hyperelastic particles as a model for hydrogel particles reproduced the experimental results for the particle distribution with an appropriate Young’s modulus of the hyperelastic particles. Further numerical simulations over a broader range of Re and the capillary number (Ca) reveal various focusing patterns of the particles in the channel cross-section. The phase transitions between them are discussed in terms of the inertial lift and the lift due to particle deformation, which would act in the direction towards lower shear. The stability of the channel centre is analysed using an asymptotic expansion approach to the migration force at low Re and Ca. The theoretical analysis predicts the critical condition for the transition, which is consistent with the direct numerical simulation. These experimental, numerical and theoretical results contribute to a deeper understanding of inertial migration of deformable particles.

kn-title=Persistent homology elucidates hierarchical structures responsible for mechanical properties in covalent amorphous solids
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Understanding how atomic-level structures govern the mechanical properties of amorphous materials remains a fundamental challenge in solid-state physics. Under mechanical loading, amorphous materials exhibit simple affine and spatially inhomogeneous nonaffine displacements that contribute to the elastic modulus through the Born (affine) and nonaffine terms, respectively. The differences between soft local structures characterized by small Born terms or large nonaffine displacements have yet to be elucidated. This challenge is particularly complex in covalent amorphous materials such as silicon, where the medium-range order (MRO) plays a crucial role in the network structure. To address these issues, we combined molecular dynamics simulations with persistent homology analysis. Our results reveal that local structures with small Born terms are governed by short-range characteristics, whereas those with large nonaffine displacements exhibit hierarchical structures in which short-range disorder is embedded within the MRO. These hierarchical structures are also strongly correlated with low-energy localized vibrational excitations. Our findings demonstrate that the mechanical responses and dynamic properties of covalent amorphous materials are intrinsically linked to the MRO, providing a framework for understanding and tailoring their properties.

en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Plant blindness is a problem related to a person's inability to realize, recognize, and know the benefits and roles of plants. After some research, there was a shift in the term, from Plant Blindness to Plant Awareness Disparity. This study aims to find out the prevalence of Plant Blindness in three high schools in West Java. The method used in this study is descriptive Cross sectional. The results of this study revealed that there were differences in the level of plant awareness in the three schools studied. One of the schools in the city of Bandung showed the highest plant awareness rate. In addition, it was also found that students who had a high level of plant awareness had a high perception of plant awareness. As a follow-up, further research can be carried out to collect more data so that it becomes a whole population. In addition, researchers can then use additional instruments so that more things can be revealed about plant blindness.

kn-title=Application of LMM-Derived Prompt-Based AIGC in Low-Altitude Drone-Based Concrete Crack Monitoring
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=In recent years, large multimodal models (LMMs), such as ChatGPT 4o and DeepSeek R1—artificial intelligence systems capable of multimodal (e.g., image and text) human–computer interaction—have gained traction in industrial and civil engineering applications. Concurrently, insufficient real-world drone-view data (specifically close-distance, high-resolution imagery) for civil engineering scenarios has heightened the importance of artificially generated content (AIGC) or synthetic data as supplementary inputs. AIGC is typically produced via text-to-image generative models (e.g., Stable Diffusion, DALL-E) guided by user-defined prompts. This study leverages LMMs to interpret key parameters for drone-based image generation (e.g., color, texture, scene composition, photographic style) and applies prompt engineering to systematize these parameters. The resulting LMM-generated prompts were used to synthesize training data for a You Only Look Once version 8 segmentation model (YOLOv8-seg). To address the need for detailed crack-distribution mapping in low-altitude drone-based monitoring, the trained YOLOv8-seg model was evaluated on close-distance crack benchmark datasets. The experimental results confirm that LMM-prompted AIGC is a viable supplement for low-altitude drone crack monitoring, achieving >80% classification accuracy (images with/without cracks) at a confidence threshold of 0.5.

en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a prototypical autoimmune disease characterized by immune dysregulation and multi-organ damage. Recent advances have underscored the critical involvement of extracellular matrix (ECM) biophysical properties in shaping immune cell behavior and metabolic states that contribute to disease progression. This review systematically delineates the pathological remodeling of ECM biophysics in SLE, with a focus on their roles in mechanotransduction, immune-metabolic interplay, and organ-specific tissue injury. By integrating current evidence, we highlight how ECM-derived mechanical cues orchestrate aberrant immune responses and propose new perspectives for targeting ECM-immune crosstalk in the development of organ-specific, mechanism-based therapies for SLE.

kn-title=Time-Efficient and Practical Design Method for Skewed PMSMs: Integrating Numerical Calculations With Limited 3-D-FEA
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=This article proposes a time-efficient and practical design method for determining appropriate skew structures for permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs). Various PMSMs use skew to suppress torque ripple, but 3-D finite element analysis (3-D-FEA) is required in order to accurately determine an appropriate structure for skewed PMSMs, resulting in a long analysis time. Therefore, this article constructs a hybrid analysis method that combines numerical calculations and minimal 3-D-FEA. The aim of this method is to be practical and easy to use, even for novice designers, and to accurately and quickly design skewed PMSMs. In this article, the effectiveness of the proposed method is clarified through several case studies, and then, a skewed PMSM designed using the proposed method is verified experimentally. It is also revealed that suppression of voltage harmonics contributes to improving the performance of PMSMs in experiments.

kn-title=Security in Post-Quantum Era: A Comprehensive Survey on Lattice-Based Algorithms
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Lattice-based post-quantum cryptography (PQC) has attracted significant attention as a promising solution to the security challenges posed by quantum computing. Unlike traditional cryptographic algorithms, lattice-based schemes are expected to remain secure even in the presence of quantum attacks, making them essential for securing future data. Despite their strong theoretical foundations, lattice-based schemes face several practical challenges, particularly in optimizing performance and scalability for real-world applications. This survey provides a novel taxonomy that categorizes lattice-based PQC designs, with an emphasis on computational paradigms and security considerations. We systematically evaluate lattice-based PQC implementations across both software platforms, including central processing units and graphics processing units, as well as hardware platforms like field-programmable gate arrays and application-specific integrated circuits, highlighting their strengths and limitations. In addition, we explore the practical applications of lattice-based cryptography in fields such as secure communication, critical infrastructure, privacy-preserving data analytics, artificial intelligence, and trust and authentication systems. By offering a comprehensive overview of the current state of lattice-based PQC, this survey aims to provide valuable insights into the ongoing advancements and future research directions in the field as we transition to a post-quantum era.

kn-title=Helical X-ray tube trajectory estimation via image noise analysis for enhanced CT dosimetry
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Information on the helical trajectory of the X-ray tube is necessary for accurate dose evaluation during computed tomography (CT). We aimed to propose a methodology for analyzing the trajectory of the X-ray tube. The novelty of this paper is that the incident direction of X-rays is estimated from the standard deviation (SD) distribution. The X-ray incident direction for each slice was analyzed using a distribution function of SD values, in which the analysis regions were placed in the air region. Then, the helical trajectory of the CT scan was estimated by fitting a three-dimensional helical function to the analyzed data. The robustness of our algorithm was verified through phantom studies: the analyzed X-ray incident directions were compared with instrumental log data, in which cylindrical polyoxymethylene resin phantoms and a whole-body phantom were scanned. Chest CT scanning was mimicked, in which the field of view (FOV) was set at the lung region. The procedure for analyzing the X-ray incident direction was applicable to cylindrical phantoms regardless of the phantom size. In contrast, in the case of the whole-body phantom, although it was possible to apply our procedure to the chest and abdomen regions, the shoulder slices were inappropriate to analyze. Therefore, the helical trajectory was determined based on chest and abdominal CT images. The accuracy in X-ray incident direction analysis was evaluated to be 7.5°. In conclusion, we have developed an algorithm to estimate a three-dimensional helical trajectory that can be used for dose measurements and simulations.

kn-title=An Implementation of Creep Test Assisting System with Dial Gauge Needle Reading and Smart Lighting Function for Laboratory Automation
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=For decades, analog dial gauges have been essential for measuring and monitoring data at various industrial instruments including production machines and laboratory equipment. Among them, we focus on the instrument for creep test in a mechanical engineering laboratory, which evaluates material strength under sustained stress. Manual reading of gauges imposes significant labor demands, especially in long-duration tests. This burden further increases under low-lighting environments, where poor visibility can lead to misreading data points, potentially compromising the accuracy of test results. In this paper, to address the challenges, we implement a creep test assisting system that possesses the following features: (1) to save the installation cost, a web camera and Raspberry Pi are employed to capture images of the dial gauge and automate the needle reading by image processing in real time, (2) to ensure reliability under low-lighting environments, a smart lighting mechanism is integrated to turn on a supplementary light when the dial gauge is not clearly visible, and (3) to allow a user to stay in a distant place from the instrument during a creep test, material break is detected and the corresponding message is notified to a laboratory staff using LINE automatically. For evaluations, we install the implemented system into a material strength measuring instrument at Okayama University, Japan, and confirm the effectiveness and accuracy through conducting experiments under various lighting conditions.

kn-title=A plant-insertable multi-enzyme biosensor for the real-time monitoring of stomatal sucrose uptake
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Monitoring sucrose transport in plants is essential for understanding plant physiology and improving agricultural practices, yet effective sensors for continuous and real-time in-vivo monitoring are lacking. In this study, we developed a plant-insertable sucrose sensor capable of real-time sucrose concentration monitoring and demonstrated its application as a useful tool for plant research by monitoring the sugar-translocating path from leaves to the lower portion of plants through the stem in living plants. The biosensor consists of a bilirubin oxidase-based biocathode and a needle-type bioanode integrating glucose oxidase, invertase, and mutarotase, with the two electrodes separated by an agarose gel for ionic connection. The sensor exhibits a sensitivity of 6.22 μA mM−1 cm−2, a limit of detection of 100 μM, a detection range up to 60 mM, and a response time of 90 s at 100 μM sucrose. Additionally, the sensor retained 86 % of its initial signal after 72 h of continuous measurement. Day-night monitoring from the biosensor inserted in strawberry guava (Psidium cattleianum) showed higher sucrose transport activity at night, following well the redistribution of photosynthetically produced sugars. In addition, by monitoring the forced translocation of sucrose dissolved in the stable isotopically labeled water, we demonstrated that a young seedling of Japanese cedar known as Sugi (Cryptomeria japonica) can absorb and transport both water and sucrose through light-dependently opened stomata, which is the recently revealed path for liquid uptake by higher plants. These findings highlight the potential of our sensor for studying dynamic plant processes and its applicability in real-time monitoring of sugar transport under diverse environmental conditions.

kn-title=Activated Clotting Time Requires Adaptation Across Altered Measurement Devices: Determination of Appropriate Range During Atrial Fibrillation Ablation
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background: Methods for measuring activated clotting time (ACT) are not yet standardized.<br>
Objectives: To adjust and compare values between two measurement systems and to optimize ACT during atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation.<br>
Methods: Two systems were compared: electromagnetic detection using a rotating tube (EM system; Hemochron Response) and photo-optical detection using a cartridge immersed in blood (PO system; ACT CA-300TM).<br>
Results: ACT was measured simultaneously in 124 instances in 53 patients before and during AF ablations using both methods. A linear regression analysis showed ACT (EM system) = 1.19 × ACT (PO system) + 9.03 (p < .001, r = 0.90). Bland–Altman plots indicated an average difference of 50 s between the two systems. In 3364 ACT measurements from 1161 ablations, the EM system recorded a mean ACT of 320 ± 44 s (range 156-487 s). Estimating the target range as mean ± 1 SD range, the EM system's range was 275-365 s, in 5-s increments. The pre-ablation ACT measured on the EM system was 143 ± 28 s (115-170 s). Cardiac tamponade occurred in 4 out of 2085 ablations (0.19%) over 5 years, with ACT values ranging from 330 to 391 s on the EM system. Based on these findings, the estimated optimal ACT range for the PO system was adjusted to 225-300 s to align with the EM system's range of 275-365 s.<br>
Conclusions: ACT target ranges should be system-specific, and direct extrapolation between devices is not recommended. Adjustment is clinically necessary when switching systems.

kn-title=Advances in filler-crosslinked membranes for hydrogen fuel cells in sustainable energy generation
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Fuel cell membranes can be used in various ways to achieve zero-emission transport and energy systems, which offer a promising way to power production due to their higher efficiency compared to the internal combustion engine and the eco-environment. Perfluoro sulfonic acid membranes used for proton exchange membranes (PEMs) have certain drawbacks, like higher fuel permeability and expense, lower mechanical and chemical durability, and proton conductivity under low humidity and above 80 °C temperature. Researchers have drawn their attention to the production of polymer electrolyte membranes with higher proton conductivity, thermal and chemical resilience, maximum power density, lower fuel permeability, and lower expense. For sustainable clean energy generation, a review covering the most useful features of advanced material-associated membranes would be of great benefit to all interested communities. This paper endeavors to explore several types of novel inorganic fillers and crosslinking agents, which have been incorporated into membrane matrices to design the desired properties for an advanced fuel cell system. Membrane parameters such as proton conductivity, the ability of H2 transport, and the stability of the membrane are described. Research directions for developing fuel cell membranes are addressed based on several challenges suggested. The technological advancement of nanostructured materials for fuel cell applications is believed to significantly promote the future clean energy generation technology in practice.

kn-title=ChatGPT Responses to Clinical Questions in the Japan Atherosclerosis Society Guidelines for Prevention of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease 2022
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Aims: Artificial intelligence is increasingly used in the medical field. We assessed the accuracy and reproducibility of responses by ChatGPT to clinical questions (CQs) in the Japan Atherosclerosis Society Guidelines for Prevention Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Diseases 2022 (JAS Guidelines 2022).<br>
Methods: In June 2024, we assessed responses by ChatGPT (version 3.5) to CQs, including background questions (BQs) and foreground questions (FQs). Accuracy was assessed independently by three researchers using six-point Likert scales ranging from 1 (“completely incorrect”) to 6 (“completely correct”) by evaluating responses to CQs in Japanese or translated into English. For reproducibility assessment, responses to each CQ asked five times separately in a new chat were scored using six-point Likert scales, and Fleiss kappa coefficients were calculated.<br>
Results: The median (25th–75th percentile) score for ChatGPT’s responses to BQs and FQs was 4 (3–5) and 5 (5–6) for Japanese CQs and 5 (3–6) and 6 (5–6) for English CQs, respectively. Response scores were higher for FQs than those for BQs (P values ＜0.001 for Japanese and English). Similar response accuracy levels were observed between Japanese and English CQs (P value 0.139 for BQs and 0.586 for FQs). Kappa coefficients for reproducibility were 0.76 for BQs and 0.90 for FQs.<br>
Conclusions: ChatGPT showed high accuracy and reproducibility in responding to JAS Guidelines 2022 CQs, especially FQs. While ChatGPT primarily reflects existing guidelines, its strength could lie in rapidly organizing and presenting relevant information, thus supporting instant and more efficient guideline interpretation and aiding in medical decision-making.

kn-title=Bone-enhanced high contrast X-ray images derived from attenuation estimation related to ultra-low energy X-rays – An application of an energy-resolving photon-counting detector (ERPCD)
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Purpose: X-ray diagnosis in medicine is often used for bone diagnosis based on qualitative observation analysis. However, there are often cases where the contrast of bones is reduced because of the existence of soft-tissues, making it difficult to accurately diagnose the bone conditions. Although the algorithm for bone extraction images was proposed using an energy-resolving photon-counting detector (ERPCD), this algorithm can depict “one” bone material (such as hydroxyapatite under the assumption), and it is difficult to adequately depict other components. The purpose of this study is to develop an algorithm for bone-enhanced high-contrast images that can be virtually represented by the attenuation of extremely low-energy X-rays without making any special assumptions.<br>
Methods: High-contrast images were virtually generated based on the attenuation rate of ultra-low energy X-rays. It was determined by fitting the mass attenuation coefficient (μ/ρ) curve to the X-ray attenuation values (μt values) measured at middle (30–40 keV) and high (40–60 keV) energy windows, and extrapolating the μt values to those for the low energy region (E = 5–20 keV). When performing the extrapolation, the effective atomic number (Zeff ) of the object was taken into consideration. The methodology was validated by simulating X-ray projections using a digital human body phantom. The frequency of correspondence between the pixel values in the high-contrast image and the Zeff image was analyzed for each pixel.<br>
Results: We succeeded in creating virtual high-contrast X-ray images that reflect the image contrast of monochromatic X-rays of 5–20 keV. It was confirmed that the pixel values in the high-contrast image corresponding to an Zeff = 7.5 (soft-tissue) were completely separated from those corresponding to an Zeff = 9 (bone). The optimization of the energy related to the high contrast images was performed based on the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) analysis. The high contrast image with 10 keV showed a good CNR value.<br>
Conclusions: Based on the analysis of the attenuation information of middle and high-energy X-rays measured by ERPCDs, we succeeded in creating a novel algorithm that can generate a virtual monochromatic image with high contrast.

kn-title=Counting-loss correction procedure of X-ray imaging detectors with consideration for the effective atomic number of biological objects
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=It is necessary to correct counting loss caused by the pulse pile-up effect and dead time when using energy-resolving photon-counting detectors (ERPCDs) under “high-counting-rate” conditions in medical and/or industrial settings. We aimed to develop a novel counting-loss correction procedure in which biological objects having effective atomic numbers (Zeff values) of 6.5–13.0 are measured with polychromatic X-rays. To correct for counting loss, such a procedure must theoretically estimate the count value of an ideal X-ray spectrum without counting loss. In this study, we estimated the ideal X-ray spectrum by focusing on the following two points: (1) the X-ray attenuation in an object (Zeff values of 6.5–13.0) and (2) the detector response. Virtual materials having intermediate atomic numbers between 6.5 and 13.0 were generated by using a mixture of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA, Zeff = 6.5) and aluminum (Al, Zeff = 13.0). We then constructed an algorithm that can perform the counting-loss correction based on the object’s true Zeff value. To demonstrate the applicability of our procedure, we analyzed investigational objects consisting of PMMA and Al using a prototype ERPCD system. A fresh fish sample was also analyzed. The Zeff values agree with the theoretical values within an accuracy of Zeff ±1. In conclusion, we have developed a highly accurate procedure for correcting counting losses for the quantitative X-ray imaging of biological objects.

kn-title=Comparison of geostatistics, machine learning algorithms, and their hybrid approaches for modeling soil organic carbon density in tropical forests
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Purpose Understanding the spatial variability of soil organic carbon density (SOCD) in tropical forests is necessary for efficient climate change mitigation initiatives. However, accurately modeling SOCD in these landscapes is challenging due to low-density sampling efforts and the limited availability of in-situ data caused by constrained accessibility. In this study, we aimed to explore the most suitable modeling technique for SOCD estimation in the context of tropical forest ecosystems.<br>
Methods To support the research, thirty predictor covariates derived from remote sensing data, topographic attributes, climatic factors, and geographic positions were utilized, along with 104 soil samples collected from the top 30 cm of soil in Central Vietnamese tropical forests. We compared the effectiveness of geostatistics (ordinary kriging, universal kriging, and kriging with external drift), machine learning (ML) algorithms (random forest and boosted regression tree), and their hybrid approaches (random forest regression kriging and boosted regression tree regression kriging) for the prediction of SOCD. Prediction accuracy was evaluated using the coefficient of determination (R2), the root mean squared error (RMSE), and the mean absolute error (MAE) obtained from leave-one-out cross-validation.<br>
Results The study results indicated that hybrid approaches performed best in predicting forest SOCD with the greatest values of R2 and the lowest values of MAE and RMSE, and the ML algorithms were more accurate than geostatistics. Additionally, the prediction maps produced by the hybridization showed the most realistic SOCD pattern, whereas the kriged maps were prone to have smoother patterns, and ML-based maps were inclined to possess more detailed patterns. The result also revealed the superiority of the ML plus residual kriging approaches over the ML models in reducing the underestimation of large SOCD values in high-altitude mountain areas and the overestimation of low SOCD values in low-lying terrain areas.<br>
Conclusion Our findings suggest that the hybrid approaches of geostatistics and ML models are most suitable for modeling SOCD in tropical forests.

kn-title=Real-world status of multimodal treatment of Stage IIIA-N2 non-small cell lung cancer in Japan: Results from the SOLUTION study, a non-interventional, multicenter cohort study
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Objectives: There is limited consensus on resectability criteria for Stage IIIA-N2 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We examined the patient characteristics, N2 status, treatment decisions, and clinical outcomes according to the treatment modality for Stage IIIA-N2 NSCLC in Japan.<br>
Materials and methods: Patients with Stage IIIA-N2 NSCLC in Japan were consecutively registered in the SOLUTION study between 2013 and 2014. Patients were divided according to treatment (chemoradiotherapy [CRT], surgery + perioperative therapy [neoadjuvant and/or adjuvant therapy], surgery alone). Demographic characteristics, N2 status (number and morphological features), pathological information, and treatments were analyzed descriptively. Overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and disease-free survival (DFS) were estimated using the Kaplan–Meier method.<br>
Results: Of 227 patients registered, 133 underwent CRT, 56 underwent surgery + perioperative therapy, and 38 underwent surgery alone. The physicians reported the following reasons for unresectability for 116 of 133 CRT patients: large number of metastatic lymph nodes (70.7 %), extranodal infiltration (25.0 %), poor surgical tolerance (19.0 %), or other reasons (18.1 %). CRT was more frequently performed in patients whose lymph nodes had an infiltrative appearance (64.3 %) and was the predominant treatment in patients with multiple involved stations (discrete: 60.0 %; infiltrative: 80.4 %). Distant metastasis with/without local progression was found in 50.4 %, 50.0 %, and 36.8 % of patients in the CRT, surgery + perioperative therapy, and surgery alone groups, respectively. The respective 3-year OS and DFS/PFS rates (median values) were as follows: surgery + perioperative therapy—61.9 % (not reached) and 37.1 % (22.4 months; DFS); CRT group—42.2 % (31.9 months) and 26.8 % (12.0 months; PFS); surgery alone group—37.7 % (26.5 months) and 28.7 % (12.6 months; DFS).<br>
Conclusion: This study has illuminated the real-world decision rules for choosing between surgical and non-surgical approaches in patients with Stage IIIA-N2 NSCLC. Our landmark data could support treatment decision making for using immune checkpoint inhibitors and targeted therapy for driver oncogenes in the perioperative therapy era.

kn-title=Review Article: Diagnostic Paradigm Shift in Spine Surgery
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Meticulous clinical examination is essential for spinal disorders to utilize the diagnostic methods and technologies that strongly support physicians and enhance clinical practice. A significant change in the approach to diagnosing spinal disorders has occurred in the last three decades, which has enhanced a more nuanced understanding of spine pathology. Traditional radiographic methods such as conventional and functional X-rays and CT scans are still the first line in the diagnosis of spinal disorders due to their low cost and accessibility. As more advanced imaging technologies become increasingly available worldwide, there is a constantly increasing trend in MRI scans for detecting spinal pathologies and making treatment decisions. Not only do MRI scans have superior diagnostic capabilities, but they also assist surgeons in performing meticulous preoperative planning, making them currently the most widely used diagnostic tool for spinal disorders. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) can help detect inflammatory lesions, infections, and tumors. Other advanced diagnostic tools such as CT/MRI fusion image, Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), Upright and Kinetic MRI, magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) could play an important role when it comes to detecting more special pathologies. However, some technical difficulties in the daily praxis and their high costs act as obstacles to their further spread. Integrating artificial intelligence and advancements in data analytics and virtual reality promises to enhance spinal procedures’ precision, safety, and efficacy. As these technologies continue to develop, they will play a critical role in transforming spinal surgery. This paradigm shift emphasizes the importance of continuous innovation and adaptability in improving the diagnosis and treatment of spinal disorders.

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=This study presents the automated identification of the complex magnetization reversal process in nonoriented electrical steel (NOES) using the feature extended Ginzburg–Landau (eX-GL) free energy framework. eX-GL provides a robust connection between microscopic magnetic domains and macroscopic magnetic hysteresis using a data science perspective. This method employs physically meaningful features to analyze the energy landscape, providing insights into the mechanisms behind function. We obtained features representing both the microstructure and energy of the domain wall. The causes of iron loss were traced to the original domain structure, through which we could successfully distinguish and visualize the role of pinning as a promoting and resisting factor. We found that the reversal process was governed not only by general grain boundary pinning but also by segmented magnetic domains within the grain. This method revealed the complex interplay between magnetism and metallography and introduced a new means for transformative material design, bridging structures and functions.

kn-title=Collective motions in the primary coordination sphere: a critical functional framework for catalytic activity of the oxygen-evolving complex of photosystem II
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Photosynthetic water oxidation, vital for dioxygen production and light energy conversion, is catalyzed by the oxygen-evolving complex of photosystem II, where the inorganic Mn4CaO5 cluster acts as the catalytic core. In this study, we investigate the functional significance of collective motions of amino acid side chains within the primary coordination sphere of the Mn cluster, focusing on their role in modulating the energetic demands for catalytic transformations in the S3 state. We applied regularized canonical correlation analysis to quantitatively correlate the three-dimensional arrangement of coordinating atoms with catalytic driving forces computed via density functional theory. Our analysis reveals that distinct collective side chain motions profoundly influence the energetic requirements for structural reconfigurations of the Mn cluster, achieved through expansion and contraction of the ligand cavity while fine-tuning its geometry to stabilize key intermediates. Complementary predictions from a neural network-based machine learning model indicate that the coordination sphere exerts a variable energetic impact on the catalytic transformations of the Mn cluster, depending on the S-state environment. Integrated computational analyses suggest that the extended lifetime of the S3YZ˙ state, consistently observed after three flash illuminations, may result from slow, progressive protein dynamics that continuously reshape the energy landscape, thereby shifting the equilibrium positions of rapid, reversible chemical processes over time. Overall, our findings demonstrate that collective motions in the primary coordination sphere constitute an active, dynamic framework essential for the efficient execution of multi-electron catalysis under ambient conditions, while simultaneously achieving a high selectivity with irreversible nature required for effective 3O2 evolution.

kn-title=Innovations in paper-based analytical devices and portable absorption photometers for onsite analysis
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Two types of analytical instruments and devices—one sophisticated high-performance instrument and another portable device—have been the focus of recent trends in analytical science. The necessity of point-of-care testing and onsite analysis has accelerated the advancement of high-performance, user-friendly portable analytical devices such as paper-based analytical devices (PADs) and light-emitting diode-based portable photometers. In this review, we summarize our achievements in the study of PADs and portable photometers. Several types of PADs are capable of performing titrations, metal ion analysis, and food analysis, while photometers, which consist of paired emitter–detector light-emitting diode (PEDD) photometers, are used for thiocyanate and herbicide analysis. These PADs and photometers permit the onsite determination of real environmental, body fluid, and food samples when an equipped laboratory is unavailable.

kn-title=Non Real-Time Data Transmission Performance Analysis of PROFINET for Assuring Data Transmission Quality
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The industrial Ethernet PROFINET supports three different data transmission modes: isochronous real-time (IRT), real-time (RT), and non real-time (NRT) transmitting data requiring hard, soft, and no real-time performances, respectively. The data transmission latency in the NRT increased with the amount of data transmission in the IRT, RT, and NRT. Therefore, the quality of data transmission in NRT may degrade as the amount of data transmission in IRT, RT, and NRT increases. In this study, we derived the average data transmission latency in an NRT with data transmission in IRT and RT by applying stochastic processes. This allowed us to maintain the quality of data transmission in the NRT by adjusting the number of devices connected to the network and the number of applications transmitting data in the NRT so that the average latency of data in the NRT does not exceed a certain value.

kn-title=Enhanced estimation method for partial scattering functions in contrast variation small-angle neutron scattering via Gaussian process regression with prior knowledge of smoothness
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Contrast variation small-angle neutron scattering (CV-SANS) is a powerful tool for evaluating the structure of multi-component systems. In CV-SANS, the scattering intensities I(Q) measured with different scattering contrasts are de­com­posed into partial scattering functions S(Q) of the self- and cross-correlations between components. Since the measurement has a measurement error, S(Q) must be estimated statistically from I(Q). If no prior knowledge about S(Q) is available, the least-squares method is best, and this is the most popular estimation method. However, if prior knowledge is available, the estimation can be improved using Bayesian inference in a statistically authorized way. In this paper, we propose a novel method to improve the estimation of S(Q), based on Gaussian process regression using prior knowledge about the smoothness and flatness of S(Q). We demonstrate the method using synthetic core–shell and experimental polyrotaxane SANS data.

kn-title=The Intertwining Property for Laguerre Processes with a Fixed Parameter
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=We investigate the intertwining of Laguerre processes of parameter α in different dimensions. We introduce a Feller kernel that depends on α and intertwines the α-Laguerre process in N + 1 dimensions and that in N dimensions. When α is a non-negative integer, the new kernel is interpreted in terms of the conditional distribution of the squared singular values: if the singular values of a unitarily invariant random matrix of order (N+α+1)×(N+1) are fixed, then the those of its (N+α) × N truncation matrix are given by the new kernel.

kn-title=Text mining for case report articles on “peritoneal dialysis” from PubMed database
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Introduction: The number of published medical articles on peritoneal dialysis (PD) has been increasing, and efficiently selecting information from numerous articles can be difficult. In this study, we examined whether artificial intelligence (AI) text mining can be a good support for efficiently collecting PD information.<br>
Methods: We performed text mining and analyzed all the abstracts of case reports on PD in the PubMed database. In total, 3137 case reports with abstracts related to “peritoneal dialysis” published from 1970 to 2021 were identified.<br>
Results: A total of 280 347 relevant words were extracted from all the abstracts. Word frequency analysis, word dependency analysis, and word frequency transition analysis showed that peritonitis, encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis, and child have been important keywords. Theseanalyses not only reflected historical background but also anticipated future trends of PD study.<br>
Conclusion: These suggest that text mining can be a good support for efficiently collecting PD information.

kn-title=An Implementation of Creep Test Assisting System with Dial Gauge Needle Reading and Smart Lighting Function for Laboratory Automation
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=For decades, analog dial gauges have been essential for measuring and monitoring data at various industrial instruments including production machines and laboratory equipment. Among them, we focus on the instrument for creep test in a mechanical engineering laboratory, which evaluates material strength under sustained stress. Manual reading of gauges imposes significant labor demands, especially in long-duration tests. This burden further increases under low-lighting environments, where poor visibility can lead to misreading data points, potentially compromising the accuracy of test results. In this paper, to address the challenges, we implement a creep test assisting system that possesses the following features: (1) to save the installation cost, a web camera and Raspberry Pi are employed to capture images of the dial gauge and automate the needle reading by image processing in real time, (2) to ensure reliability under low-lighting environments, a smart lighting mechanism is integrated to turn on a supplementary light when the dial gauge is not clearly visible, and (3) to allow a user to stay in a distant place from the instrument during a creep test, material break is detected and the corresponding message is notified to a laboratory staff using LINE automatically. For evaluations, we install the implemented system into a material strength measuring instrument at Okayama University, Japan, and confirm the effectiveness and accuracy through conducting experiments under various lighting conditions.

kn-abstract=In this paper, we propose a method for computing genus 1 Gromov-Witten invariants of Calabi-Yau and Fano projective hypersurfaces using the B-model. Our formalism is applicable to both Calabi-Yau and Fano cases. In the Calabi-Yau case, significant cancellation of terms within our formalism occurs, resulting in an alternative representation of the BCOV-Zinger formula for projective Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces.

kn-abstract=K. Brown [1] studied the random to top shuffle (the Tsetlin libary) by semigroup method. In this paper, (i) we extend his results to the colored permutation groups, and (ii) we consider a q-analogue of Tsetlin library which is different from what is studied in [1]. In (i), the results also extends those results for the top to random shuffle [4],[5], [6] to arbitrary distribution of choosing cards, but we still have derangement numbers in the multiplicity of each eigenvalues. In (ii), a version of q-analogue of derangement numbers by Chen-Rota [3] appears in the multiplicity of eigenvalues.

kn-abstract=An alternating sign matrix (ASM for short) is a square matrix which consists of 0, 1 and −1. In this paper, we characterize an ASM by showing a bijection between alternating sign matrix and six vertex model, and a bijection between six vertex model and height function.
In order to show these bijections, we define a triplet (ai,j , ci,j , ri,j) for each entry of an ASM. We also define a track for each index of height function, and state more properties of height function.

kn-abstract=The Sobolev inequality shows that the supremum of a function defined on a whole line is estimated from the above by constant multiples of the potential energy. Among such constants, the smallest constant is the best constant. If we replace a constant by the best constant in the Sobolev inequality, then the equality holds for the best function. The aim of this paper is to find the best constant and the best function. In the background, there is a bending problem of a string with a rectangular spring constant. The Green function is an important function because the best constant and the best function consist of the Green function.

kn-abstract=A polynomial f(x) ∈ Z[x] of degree N is called monogenic if f(x) is irreducible over Q and {1, θ, θ2, . . . , θN−1} is a basis for the ring of integers of Q(θ), where f(θ) = 0. Define F(x) := xm+Axm−1+B. In this article, we determine sets of conditions on m, A, and B, such that
the power-compositional trinomial F(xpn) is monogenic for all integers n ≥ 0 and a given prime p. Furthermore, we prove the actual existence of infinite families of such trinomials F(x).

kn-title=Inseparable Gauss maps and dormant opers
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The present paper aims to generalize a result by H. Kaji on Gauss maps in positive characteristic and establish an interaction with the study of dormant opers and Frobenius-projective structures. We prove a correspondence between dormant opers on a smooth projective variety and closed immersions into a projective space with purely inseparable Gauss map. By using this, we determine the subfields of the function field of a smooth curve in positive characteristic induced by Gauss maps. Moreover, this correspondence gives us a Frobenius-projective structure on a Fermat hypersurface.

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=　本実践報告では，普通科における STEAM 教育の捉え方を提言し，具体的な授業実践や教員研修を提案する。先行研究等で議論されている STEAM 教育の概念等から，STEAM 教育の根幹は創造性を涵養・刺激・発揮する教育であると捉え，STEAM 教育と最も親和性が高い総合的な探究の時間で授業実践を行った。取り組みの効果については，成果物の分析やヒアリング調査等を通して検証し，探究を自分事にできていることが示唆された。また，生徒が創造性を涵養・刺激・発揮する場面は，各教科等の授業内でも実現できると考え，「楽しく深まる授業」をテーマにした教員研修の開発を行った。この研修では授業開発を教員のチーム探究と捉え，総合的な探究の時間で生徒が取り組むワーク等も活用した。総合的な探究の時間を受けた経験のない教員が探究活動のプロセスを経験し，探究の楽しさやワクワク感を実感できることも狙っている。主体的で活発な全校研修が実現し，教員が探究的に授業創りを進めることのできる研修の仕掛けを見出すことができた。

en-title=Childcare and Support in Nursery Schools for the Development of Geometry and Number Sense for Five-Year-Old Children
kn-title=５歳児を対象とした数量・図形感覚を育む保育所保育の実際と援助の在り方
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=This study focuses on “the interest and sense of numbers, geometry, and words”, which is regarded as one of "the Ideal Image by the End of Childhood". The focus is on 5-year-old pre-schoolers and their experiences with numbers and shapes in daily lives and games at nursery schools with a comparison with the mathematics classes in the first grade of elementary school. We also aim to provide insights for nursery schools on how to arouse children’s interest and support them to get familiar with geometry and numbers through games.<br>
Our finding reveals that children naturally become familiar with geometry and numbers in their daily lives and their experiences become the foundation when they cope with elementary school mathematics. We also come to know that nursery teachers have to visualize the connection between their games with elementary school mathematics and actively arouse children’s interests and understanding.

kn-abstract=　本研究では、幼児期の終わりまでに育って欲しい10の姿のひとつである、「数量・図形、文字等への関心・感覚」に着目し、就学前の５歳児に焦点を当て、保育所の日常生活や遊びにおいて子どもがどのような数量・図形に関する事柄を経験しているのか、また、その経験を小学校１年生の算数科の学習内容と照らして検討した。さらに、子どもが園生活や遊びの中で数量・図形に関心をもって親しみ、学びを得ることを支える保育の在り方について検討した。<br>
　その結果、子どもは日常の中で主体的に数量・図形に親しむ経験をすると共に、その経験が小学校算数科の内容に連続する学びの基礎となっていることが明らかになった。また、保育士自身が小学校算数との繋がりを見通しながら、眼前の子どもの興味や関心に沿って援助することが専門的力量として求められることが示唆された。

kn-title=Deep Reinforcement Learning for Dynamic Pricing and Ordering Policies in Perishable Inventory Management
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Perishable goods have a limited shelf life, and inventory should be discarded once it exceeds its shelf life. Finding optimal inventory management policies is essential since inefficient policies can lead to increased waste and higher costs. While many previous studies assume the perishable inventory is processed following the First In, First Out rule, it does not reflect customer purchasing behavior. In practice, customers' preferences are influenced by the shelf life and price of products. This study optimizes inventory and pricing policies for a perishable inventory management problem considering age-dependent probabilistic demand. However, introducing dynamic pricing significantly increases the complexity of the problem. To tackle this challenge, we propose eliminating irrational actions in dynamic programming without sacrificing optimality. To solve this problem more efficiently, we also implement a deep reinforcement learning algorithm, proximal policy optimization, to solve this problem. The results show that dynamic programming with action reduction achieved an average of 63.1% reduction in computation time compared to vanilla dynamic programming. In most cases, proximal policy optimization achieved an optimality gap of less than 10%. Sensitivity analysis of the demand model revealed a negative correlation between customer sensitivity to shelf lives or prices and total profits.

kn-title=Polyhedral entire solutions in reaction-diffusion equations
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=This paper studies polyhedral entire solutions to a bistable reaction-diffusion equation in Rn. We consider a pyramidal traveling front solution to the same equation in Rn+1. As the speed goes to infinity, its projection converges to an n-dimensional polyhedral entire solution. Conversely, as the time goes to -infinity, an n-dimensional polyhedral entire solution gives n-dimensional pyramidal traveling front solutions. The result in this paper suggests a correlation between traveling front solutions and entire solutions in general reaction-diffusion equations or systems.

kn-title=Implementation of Sensor Input Setup Assistance Service Using Generative AI for SEMAR IoT Application Server Platform
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=For rapid deployments of various IoT application systems, we have developed Smart Environmental Monitoring and Analytical in Real-Time (SEMAR) as an integrated server platform. It is equipped with rich functions for collecting, analyzing, and visualizing various data. Unfortunately, the proper configuration of SEMAR with a variety of IoT devices can be complex and challenging for novice users, since it often requires technical expertise. The assistance of Generative AI can be helpful to solve this drawback. In this paper, we present an implementation of a sensor input setup assistance service for SEMAR using prompt engineering techniques and Generative AI. A user needs to define the requirement specifications and environments of the IoT application system for sensor inputs, and give them to the service. Then, the service provides step-by-step guidance on sensor connections, communicating board configurations, network connections, and communication protocols to the user, which can help the user easily set up the configuration to connect the relevant devices to SEMAR. For evaluations, we applied the proposal to the input sensor setup processes of three practical IoT application systems with SEMAR, namely, a smart light, water heater, and room temperature monitoring system. In addition, we applied it to the setup process of an IoT application system for a course for undergraduate students at the Insitut Bisnis dan Teknologi (INSTIKI), Indonesia. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed service for SEMAR.

kn-title=Modification on Thermal Motion in Geant4 for Neutron Capture Simulation in Gadolinium Loaded Water
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Neutron tagging is a fundamental technique for electron anti-neutrino detection via the inverse beta decay channel. A reported discrepancy in neutron detection efficiency between observational data and simulation predictions prompted an investigation into neutron capture modeling in Geant4. The study revealed that an overestimation of the thermal motion of hydrogen atoms in Geant4 impacts the fraction of captured nuclei. By manually modifying the Geant4 implementation, the simulation results align with calculations based on evaluated nuclear data and show good agreement with observables derived from the SK-Gd data.

kn-title=An Investigation of Hand Gestures for Controlling Video Games in a Rehabilitation Exergame System
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) can significantly impact individuals' quality of life (QoL), often requiring effective rehabilitation strategies to promote recovery. However, traditional rehabilitation methods can be expensive and may lack engagement, leading to poor adherence to therapy exercise routines. An exergame system can be a solution to this problem. In this paper, we investigate appropriate hand gestures for controlling video games in a rehabilitation exergame system. The Mediapipe Python library is adopted for the real-time recognition of gestures. We choose 10 easy gestures among 32 possible simple gestures. Then, we specify and compare the best and the second-best groups used to control the game. Comprehensive experiments are conducted with 16 students at Andalas University, Indonesia, to find appropriate gestures and evaluate user experiences of the system using the System Usability Scale (SUS) and User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ). The results show that the hand gestures in the best group are more accessible than in the second-best group. The results suggest appropriate hand gestures for game controls and confirm the proposal's validity. In future work, we plan to enhance the exergame system by integrating a diverse set of video games, while expanding its application to a broader and more diverse sample. We will also study other practical applications of the hand gesture control function.

kn-title=Traveling Front Solutions of Dimension n Generate Entire Solutions of Dimension (n-1) in Reaction-Diffusion Equations as the Speeds Go to Infinity
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Multidimensional traveling front solutions and entire solutions of reaction-diffusion equations have been studied intensively. To study the relationship between multidimensional traveling front solutions and entire solutions, we study the reaction-diffusion equation with a bistable nonlinear term. It is well known that there exist multidimensional traveling front solutions with every speed that is greater than the speed of a one-dimensional traveling front solution connecting two stable equilibria. In this paper, we show that the limit of the n-dimensional multidimensional traveling front solutions as the speeds go to infinity generates an entire solution of the same reaction-diffusion equation in the (n-1)-dimensional space.

kn-title=Overloaded MIMO Spatial Multiplexing Independent of Antenna Setups
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=This paper proposes overloaded MIMO spatial multiplexing that can increase the number of spatially multiplexed signal streams despite of the number of antennas on a terminal and that on a receiver. We propose extension of the channel matrix for the spatial multiplexing to achieve the superb multiplexing performance. Precoding based on the extended channel matrix plays a crucial role in carrying out such spatial multiplexing. We consider three types of QR-decomposition techniques for the proposed spatial multiplexing to improve the transmission performance. The transmission performance of the proposed spatial multiplexing is evaluated by computer simulation. The simulation reveals that the proposed overloaded MIMO spatial multiplexing can implement 6 stream-spatial multiplexing in a 2×2 MIMO system, i.e., the overloading ratio of 3.0. The superior transmission performance is achieved by the proposed overloaded MIMO spatial multiplexing with one of the QR-decomposition techniques.

kn-title=Multi-dimensional optimisation of the scanning strategy for the LiteBIRD space mission
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Large angular scale surveys in the absence of atmosphere are essential for measuring the primordial B-mode power spectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). Since this proposed measurement is about three to four orders of magnitude fainter than the temperature anisotropies of the CMB, in-flight calibration of the instruments and active suppression of systematic effects are crucial. We investigate the effect of changing the parameters of the scanning strategy on the in-flight calibration effectiveness, the suppression of the systematic effects themselves, and the ability to distinguish systematic effects by null-tests. Next-generation missions such as LiteBIRD, modulated by a Half-Wave Plate (HWP), will be able to observe polarisation using a single detector, eliminating the need to combine several detectors to measure polarisation, as done in many previous experiments and hence avoiding the consequent systematic effects. While the HWP is expected to suppress many systematic effects, some of them will remain. We use an analytical approach to comprehensively address the mitigation of these systematic effects and identify the characteristics of scanning strategies that are the most effective for implementing a variety of calibration strategies in the multi-dimensional space of common spacecraft scan parameters. We verify that LiteBIRD's standard configuration yields good performance on the metrics we studied. We also present Falcons.jl, a fast spacecraft scanning simulator that we developed to investigate this scanning parameter space.

kn-title=Deep Reinforcement Learning Enabled Adaptive Virtual Machine Migration Control in Multi-Stage Information Processing Systems
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=This paper tackles a Virtual Machine (VM) migration control problem to maximize the progress (accuracy) of information processing tasks in multi-stage information processing systems. The conventional methods for this problem are effective only for specific situations, such as when the system load is high. In this paper, in order to adaptively achieve high accuracy in various situations, we propose a VM migration method using a Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) algorithm. It is difficult to directly apply a DRL algorithm to the VM migration control problem because the size of the solution space of the problem dynamically changes according to the number of VMs staying in the system while the size of the agent’s action space is fixed in DRL algorithms. To cope with this difficulty, the proposed method divides the VM migration control problem into two problems: the problem of determining only the VM distribution (i.e., the proportion of the number of VMs deployed on each edge server) and the problem of determining the locations of all the VMs so that it follows the determined VM distribution. The former problem is solved by a DRL algorithm, and the latter by a heuristic method. This approach makes it possible to apply a DRL algorithm to the VM migration control problem because the VM distribution is expressed by a vector with a fixed number of dimensions and can be directly outputted by the agent. The simulation results confirm that our proposed method can adaptively achieve quasi-optimal accuracy in various situations with different link delays, types of the information processing tasks and the number of VMs.

kn-title=Skewing Technology for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors: A Comprehensive Review and Recent Trends
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=This article gives a comprehensive overview of the current research trends in the skewing technique for permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs). The skewing technique has been widely used in many applications to reduce the cogging torque and torque ripple in PMSMs. There are many ways to implement the skew, and new techniques are continually being developed. First, this article summarizes the types of skew structures and presents a survey of existing techniques. Specific emphasis is placed on what kind of skew structure is selected depending on the PMSM configuration. Second, the optimal value of the skew angle for each structure is comprehensively explained, and the discrepancy between theory and finite element analysis is discussed. The definition of skew angle varies across the literature, and one of the purposes of this article is to organize the definition in an easy-to-understand manner. In addition, this article offers three-dimensional finite element analysis (3D-FEA) results of various PMSMs employing the skew for quantitative comparison. Then, this article discusses the properties of PMSMs using the skew by structure and the latest trends, and finally describes future prospects.

kn-title=エージェントベースモデルによる自己組織化的集積の再現：特別区におけるICT 事業所
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=　As a preliminary step to conducting a self-organizing simulation of the agglomeration and dispersion of the information and communications industry, we quantify the spatial agglomeration of the information and communications industry in Japan’s major cities. Using the town and district data from the Economic Census for Economic Activity, we attempted a spatial analysis of the information and communications industry in the Tokyo Special Wards as well as in Sapporo, Sendai, Hiroshima, and Fukuoka, which have regional central functions. As a result of detecting spatial autocorrelation in small areas within each city, hotspots indicating the agglomeration of information and communications industry offi ces were found in the city center of each city. At the same time, we were able to confi rm the impact of agglomeration economies, which are the premise of the self-organizing model, and confi rmed that the information and communications industry is an industry suitable for simulation of the self-organizing model.
　Krugman（1996）was the fi rst to model the self-organizing model in cities and clarifi ed the emergence principle of peripheral cities, but this was limited to numerical simulations. Later, Kumar et al.（2007）used actual data to show that Krugman’s self-organizing model could be applied to predict corporate agglomeration and dispersion. In this paper, we use an agent-based model to examine whether a self-organizing model is also effective in reproducing and predicting the concentration and dispersion of the information and communications industry in Japanese cities.

kn-title=Superior Efficiency Under PWM Harmonic Current in an Axial-Flux PM Machine for HEV/EV Traction: Comparison With a Radial-Flux PM Machine
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=This paper evaluates the harmonic current caused by a pulse width modulation (PWM) inverter and how it affects the efficiency of a novel axial-flux permanent-magnet machine using a ferrite permanent magnet (AF-FePM) in traction applications. First, differences between the finite element analysis (FEA) and experimental results are discussed using a prototype of the proposed AF-FePM. Second, the AF-FePM is compared with a commercially available radial-flux permanent-magnet machine using a Nd-sintered magnet (RF-NdPM). For both machines, the efficiency and loss are calculated using FEA when applying the sinusoidal and harmonic currents. Additionally, we present the superior efficiency of the AF-FePM under the PWM harmonic current during a WLTC driving cycle because the designed model employs the ferrite magnet and a round copper wire, unlike the RF-NdPM. Finally, motor and inverter losses at different switching frequencies are also evaluated. This paper eventually shows that the proposed AF-FePM would be one of the suitable candidates to enhance high efficiency under PWM harmonic current condition based on comprehensive discussion.

kn-title=Design and performance of a gain calibration system for the POLARBEAR-2a receiver system at the Simons Array cosmic microwave background experiment
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=We present an advanced system for calibrating the detector gain responsivity with a chopped thermal source for POLARBEAR-2a, which is the first receiver system of a cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarimetry experiment: the Simons Array. Intensity-to-polarization leakage due to calibration errors between detectors can be a significant source of systematic error for a polarization-sensitive experiment. To suppress this systematic uncertainty, POLARBEAR-2a calibrates the detector gain responsivities by observing a chopped thermal source before and after each period of science observations. The system includes a high-temperature ceramic heater that emits blackbody radiation covering a wide frequency range and an optical chopper to modulate the radiation signal. We discuss the experimental requirements of gain calibration and system design to calibrate POLARBEAR-2a. We evaluate the performance of our system during the early commissioning of the receiver system. This calibration system is promising for the future generation of CMB ground-based polarization observations.

kn-title=Nutrient Requirements Shape the Preferential Habitat of Allorhizobium vitis VAR03-1, a Commensal Bacterium, in the Rhizosphere of Arabidopsis thaliana
en-subtitle=

kn-abstract=A diverse range of commensal bacteria inhabit the rhizosphere, influencing host plant growth and responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. While root-released nutrients can define soil microbial habitats, the bacterial factors involved in plant–microbe interactions are not well characterized. In this study, we investigated the colonization patterns of two plant disease biocontrol agents, Allorhizobium vitis VAR03-1 and Pseudomonas protegens Cab57, in the rhizosphere of Arabidopsis thaliana using Murashige and Skoog (MS) agar medium. VAR03-1 formed colonies even at a distance from the roots, preferentially in the upper part, while Cab57 colonized only the root surface. The addition of sucrose to the agar medium resulted in excessive proliferation of VAR03-1, similar to its pattern without sucrose, whereas Cab57 formed colonies only near the root surface. Overgrowth of both bacterial strains upon nutrient supplementation inhibited host growth, independent of plant immune responses. This inhibition was reduced in the VAR03-1 ΔrecA mutant, which exhibited increased biofilm formation, suggesting that some activities associated with the free-living lifestyle rather than the sessile lifestyle may be detrimental to host growth. VAR03-1 grew in liquid MS medium with sucrose alone, while Cab57 required both sucrose and organic acids. Supplementation of sugars and organic acids allowed both bacterial strains to grow near and away from Arabidopsis roots in MS agar. These results suggest that nutrient requirements for bacterial growth may determine their growth habitats in the rhizosphere, with nutrients released in root exudates potentially acting as a limiting factor in harnessing microbiota.

kn-title=Surrogate-Assisted Multi-Objective Optimization for Simultaneous Three-Dimensional Packing and Motion Planning Problems Using the Sequence-Triple Representation
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Packing problems are classical optimization problems with wide-ranging applications. With the advancement of robotic manipulation, there are growing demands for the automation of packing tasks. However, the simultaneous optimization of packing and the robot's motion planning is challenging because these two decisions are interconnected, and no previous study has addressed this optimization problem. This paper presents a framework to simultaneously determine the robot's motion planning and packing decision to minimize the robot's processing time and the container's volume. This framework comprises three key components: solution encoding, surrogate modeling, and evolutionary computation. The sequence-triple representation encodes complex packing solutions by a sequence of integers. A surrogate model is trained to predict the processing time for a given packing solution to reduce the computational burden. Training data is generated by solving the motion planning problem for a set of packing solutions using the rapidly exploring random tree algorithm. The Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II searches for the Pareto solutions. Experimental evaluations are conducted using a 6-DOF robot manipulator. The experimental results suggest that implementing the surrogate model can reduce the computational time by 91.1%. The proposed surrogate-assisted optimization method can obtain significantly better solutions than the joint angular velocity-based estimation method.

kn-title=An Image-Based User Interface Testing Method for Flutter Programming Learning Assistant System
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Flutter has become popular for providing a uniform development environment for user interfaces (UIs) on smart phones, web browsers, and desktop applications. We have developed the Flutter programming learning assistant system (FPLAS) to assist its novice students' self-study. We implemented the Docker-based Flutter environment with Visual Studio Code and three introductory exercise projects. However, the correctness of students' answers is manually checked, although automatic checking is necessary to reduce teachers' workload and provide quick responses to students. This paper presents an image-based user interface (UI) testing method to automate UI testing by the answer code using the Flask framework. This method produces the UI image by running the answer code and compares it with the image made by the model code for the assignment using ORB and SIFT algorithms in the OpenCV library. One notable aspect is the necessity to capture multiple UI screenshots through page transitions by user input actions for the accurate detection of changes in UI elements. For evaluations, we assigned five Flutter exercise projects to fourth-year bachelor and first-year master engineering students at Okayama University, Japan, and applied the proposed method to their answers. The results confirm the effectiveness of the proposal.

kn-title=Postgraduate Year Two Medical Residents' Awareness of Personal Development as a Physician during the Management of Inpatients: A Qualitative Study
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Clinical experiences, helping relationships, and reflection are key factors for personal development for physicians. However, few studies have shown which experiences are important for personal growth and how medical residents specifically use their experiences for personal growth. The aim of this study was to identify from the medical residents' perspective which clinical experiences contribute to their personal development. We employed a qualitative design, conducting semi-structured interviews with ten postgraduate year two medical residents at a Japanese teaching hospital. The interviews were transcribed in interview memos, anonymized, and subjected to reflective thematic analysis to generate themes relevant to personal and professional development. Successful clinical experiences with autonomy and responsibility in clinical management were shown to be essential points for personal development as a physician. Autonomy in this study was the attitude of making one's own choices when managing patients. Responsibility was the obligation of the resident to take charge of a patient. Instructing junior trainees, appreciation received from patients, and approval granted by attending physicians reinforced their feelings of personal growth. The realization of what experiences and concepts influence medical residents' personal growth and development will make their professional development more effective.

en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Primary malignant bone tumors, such as osteosarcoma, significantly affect the pediatric and young adult populations, necessitating early diagnosis for effective treatment. This study developed a high-performance artificial intelligence (AI) model to detect osteosarcoma from X-ray images using highly accurate annotated data to improve diagnostic accuracy at initial consultations. Traditional models trained on unannotated data have shown limited success, with sensitivities of approximately 60%–70%. In contrast, our model used a data-centric approach with annotations from an experienced oncologist, achieving a sensitivity of 95.52%, specificity of 96.21%, and an area under the curve of 0.989. The model was trained using 468 X-ray images from 31 osteosarcoma cases and 378 normal knee images with a strategy to maximize diversity in the training and validation sets. It was evaluated using an independent dataset of 268 osteosarcoma and 554 normal knee images to ensure generalizability. By applying the U-net architecture and advanced image processing techniques such as renormalization and affine transformations, our AI model outperforms existing models, reducing missed diagnoses and enhancing patient outcomes by facilitating earlier treatment. This study highlights the importance of high-quality training data and advocates a shift towards data-centric AI development in medical imaging. These insights can be extended to other rare cancers and diseases, underscoring the potential of AI in transforming diagnostic processes in oncology. The integration of this AI model into clinical workflows could support physicians in early osteosarcoma detection, thereby improving diagnostic accuracy and patient care.

kn-title=Does a coexisting congener of a mixed mating species affect the genetic structure and selfing rate via reproductive interference?
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Reproductive interference is defined as an interspecific interaction that reduces fitness via mating processes. Although its ecological and evolutionary consequences have attracted much attention, how reproductive interference affects the population genetic structures of interacting species is still unclear. In flowering plants, recent studies found that self-pollination can mitigate the negative effects of reproductive interference. Selfing-biased seed production is expected to increase population-level inbreeding and the selfing rate, and limits gene flow via pollinator outcrossing among populations. We examined the population genetics of the mixed-mating annual herb Commelina communis f. ciliata, focusing on reproductive interference by the sympatric competing congener C. communis using microsatellite markers. First, we found that almost all C. c. f. ciliata populations had relatively high inbreeding coefficients. Then, comparing sympatric and allopatric populations, we found evidence that reproductive interference from a competing congener increased the inbreeding coefficient and selfing rate. Allopatric populations exhibit varied selfing rates while almost all sympatric populations exhibit extremely high selfing rates, suggesting that population selfing rates were also influenced by unexamined factors, such as pollinator limitation. Besides, our findings revealed that reproductive interference from a competing congener did not limit gene flow among populations. We present the first report on how reproductive interference affects the genetic aspects of populations. Our results suggested that the high selfing rate of C. c. f. ciliata promotes its sympatric distribution with C. communis, even in the presence of reproductive interference, although it is not clear whether reproductive interference directly causes the high selfing rate.

kn-title=Vaccine and antiviral drug promise for preventing post-acute sequelae of COVID-19, and their combination for its treatment
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Introduction: Most healthy individuals recover from acute SARS-CoV-2 infection, whereas a remarkable number continues to suffer from unexplained symptoms, known as Long COVID or post-acute COVID-19 syndrome (PACS). It is therefore imperative that methods for preventing and treating the onset of PASC be investigated with the utmost urgency.<br>
Methods: A mathematical model of the immune response to vaccination and viral infection with SARS-CoV-2, incorporating immune memory cells, was developed.<br>
Results and discussion: Similar to our previous model, persistent infection was observed by the residual virus in the host, implying the possibility of chronic inflammation and delayed recovery from tissue injury. Pre-infectious vaccination and antiviral medication administered during onset can reduce the acute viral load; however, they show no beneficial effects in preventing persistent infection. Therefore, the impact of these treatments on the PASC, which has been clinically observed, is mainly attributed to their role in preventing severe tissue damage caused by acute viral infections. For PASC patients with persistent infection, vaccination was observed to cause an immediate rapid increase in viral load, followed by a temporary decrease over approximately one year. The former was effectively suppressed by the coadministration of antiviral medications, indicating that this combination is a promising treatment for PASC.

kn-title=Performance Investigations of VSLAM and Google Street View Integration in Outdoor Location-Based Augmented Reality under Various Lighting Conditions
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The growing demand for Location-based Augmented Reality (LAR) experiences has driven the integration of Visual Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (VSLAM) with Google Street View (GSV) to enhance the accuracy. However, the impact of the ambient light intensity on the accuracy and reliability is underexplored, posing significant challenges in outdoor LAR implementations. This paper investigates the impact of light conditions on the accuracy and reliability of the VSLAM/GSV integration approach in outdoor LAR implementations. This study fills a gap in the current literature and offers valuable insights into vision-based approach implementation under different light conditions. Extensive experiments were conducted at five Point of Interest (POI) locations under various light conditions with a total of 100 datasets. Descriptive statistic methods were employed to analyze the data and assess the performance variation. Additionally, the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) analysis was utilized to assess the impact of different light conditions on the accuracy metric and horizontal tracking time, determining whether there are significant differences in performance across varying levels of light intensity. The experimental results revealed that a significant correlation (p < 0.05) exists between the ambient light intensity and the accuracy of the VSLAM/GSV integration approach. Through the confidence interval estimation, the minimum illuminance 434 lx is needed to provide a feasible and consistent accuracy. Variations in visual references, such as wet surfaces in the rainy season, also impact the horizontal tracking time and accuracy.

kn-title=A Reference Paper Collection System Using Web Scraping
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Collecting reference papers from the Internet is one of the most important activities for progressing research and writing papers about their results. Unfortunately, the current process using Google Scholar may not be efficient, since a lot of paper files cannot be accessed directly by the user. Even if they are accessible, their effectiveness needs to be checked manually. In this paper, we propose a reference paper collection system using web scraping to automate paper collections from websites. This system can collect or monitor data from the Internet, which is considered as the environment, using Selenium, a popular web scraping software, as the sensor; this examines the similarity against the search target by comparing the keywords using the Bert model. The Bert model is a deep learning model for natural language processing (NLP) that can understand context by analyzing the relationships between words in a sentence bidirectionally. The Python Flask is adopted at the web application server, where Angular is used for data presentations. For the evaluation, we measured the performance, investigated the accuracy, and asked members of our laboratory to use the proposed method and provide their feedback. Their results confirm the method’s effectiveness.

kn-title=Mechanisms and Functions of Sweet Reception in Oral and Extraoral Organs
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The oral detection of sugars relies on two types of receptor systems. The first is the G-protein-coupled receptor TAS1R2/TAS1R3. When activated, this receptor triggers a downstream signaling cascade involving gustducin, phospholipase C beta 2 (PLC beta 2), and transient receptor potential channel M5 (TRPM5). The second type of receptor is the glucose transporter. When glucose enters the cell via this transporter, it is metabolized to produce ATP. This ATP inhibits the opening of KATP channels, leading to cell depolarization. Beside these receptor systems, sweet-sensitive taste cells have mechanisms to regulate their sensitivity to sweet substances based on internal and external states of the body. Sweet taste receptors are not limited to the oral cavity; they are also present in extraoral organs such as the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, and brain. These extraoral sweet receptors are involved in various functions, including glucose absorption, insulin release, sugar preference, and food intake, contributing to the maintenance of energy homeostasis. Additionally, sweet receptors may have unique roles in certain organs like the trachea and bone. This review summarizes past and recent studies on sweet receptor systems, exploring the molecular mechanisms and physiological functions of sweet (sugar) detection in both oral and extraoral organs.

kn-title=A Novel Peptidome Technology for the Diagnosis of Mild Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimer’s Disease by Selected Reaction Monitoring
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background:With the aging of populations worldwide, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has become a concern due to its high prevalence and the continued lack of established treatments. Early diagnosis is required as a preventive intervention to modify the disease’s progression. In our previous study, we performed peptidomic analysis of serum samples obtained from AD patients and age-matched healthy subjects to seek peptide biomarker candidates for AD by using BLOTCHIP-MS analysis, and identified four peptides as AD biomarker candidates. <br>
Objective:The objective was to validate the serum biomarker peptides to distinguish mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and AD in comparison to cognitively healthy controls using a new peptidome technology, the Dementia Risk Test. <br>
Methods:We enrolled 195 subjects with normal cognitive function (NC; n = 70), MCI (n = 55), and AD (n = 70), The concentrations of cognitive impairment marker peptides (Fibrinogen α chain (FAC), Fibrinogen β chain (FBC), Plasma protease C1 inhibitor (PPC1I), α2-HS-glycoprotein (AHSG)) were quantified by using a selected reaction monitoring assay based on liquid chromatography-MS/MS. <br>
Results:The present study confirmed that three peptides, FAC, FBC, and PPC1I, were significantly upregulated during the onset of AD. This three-peptide set was both highly sensitive in determining AD (sensitivity: 85.7%, specificity: 95.7%, AUC: 0.900) and useful in distinguishing MCI (sensitivity: 61.8%, specificity: 98.6%, AUC: 0.824) from NC. <br>
Conclusions:In this validation study, we confirmed the high diagnostic potential of the three peptides identified in our previous study as candidate serum biomarkers for AD. The Dementia Risk Test may be a powerful tool for detecting AD-related pathological changes.

kn-title=Effect of Lipopolysaccharide on the Duration of Zolpidem-Induced Loss of Righting Reflex in Mice
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Zolpidem, a non-benzodiazepine hypnotic, is primarily used to treat insomnia. In a previous study, pior treatment with non-benzodiazepine receptor agonists was associated with inflammation. The present study aimed to clarify the association between the effects of zolpidem and inflammation in mice treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a known model of inflammation. We assessed the zolpidem-induced loss of righting reflex (LORR) duration 24 h after LPS treatment in mice. Additionally, the expressions of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)A receptor subunit and K+-Cl− cotransporter isoform 2 (KCC2) mRNA in the hippocampus and frontal cortex were examined in LPS-treated mice. Pretreatment with LPS was associated with significantly prolonged duration of zolpidem-induced LORR compared to control mice. This effect was significantly attenuated by administering bicuculline, a GABAA receptor antagonist, or flumazenil, a benzodiazepine receptor antagonist, in LPS-treated mice. Compared to controls, LPS-treated mice showed no significant change in the expression of GABAA receptor subunits in the hippocampus or frontal cortex. Bumetanide, an Na+-K+-2Cl− cotransporter isoform 1 blocker, attenuated the extended duration of zolpidem-induced LORR observed in LPS-treated mice. LPS significantly decreased Kcc2 mRNA expression in the hippocampus and the frontal cortex. These findings suggest that inflammation increases zolpidem-induced LORR, possibly through a reduction in KCC2 expression.

kn-abstract=Background <br>
Stem cell research, particularly in the domain of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology, has shown significant progress. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI), especially machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL), has played a pivotal role in refining iPSC classification, monitoring cell functionality, and conducting genetic analysis. These enhancements are broadening the applications of iPSC technology in disease modelling, drug screening, and regenerative medicine. This review aims to explore the role of AI in the advancement of iPSC research.<br>
Methods <br>
In December 2023, data were collected from three electronic databases (PubMed, Web of Science, and Science Direct) to investigate the application of AI technology in iPSC processing.<br>
Results <br>
This systematic scoping review encompassed 79 studies that met the inclusion criteria. The number of research studies in this area has increased over time, with the United States emerging as a leading contributor in this field. AI technologies have been diversely applied in iPSC technology, encompassing the classification of cell types, assessment of disease-specific phenotypes in iPSC-derived cells, and the facilitation of drug screening using iPSC. The precision of AI methodologies has improved significantly in recent years, creating a foundation for future advancements in iPSC-based technologies.<br>
Conclusions <br>
Our review offers insights into the role of AI in regenerative and personalized medicine, highlighting both challenges and opportunities. Although still in its early stages, AI technologies show significant promise in advancing our understanding of disease progression and development, paving the way for future clinical applications.

kn-title=Application of a Deep Reinforcement Learning Algorithm to Virtual Machine Migration Control in Multi-Stage Information Processing Systems
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=This paper tackles a Virtual Machine (VM) migration control problem to maximize the progress (accuracy) of information processing tasks in multi-stage information processing systems. The conventional methods for this problem (e.g., VM sweeping method and VM number averaging method) are effective only for specific situations, such as when the system load is high. In this paper, in order to achieve high accuracy in various situations, we propose a VM migration method using a Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) algorithm. It is difficult to directly apply a DRL algorithm to the VM migration control problem because the size of the solution space of the problem dynamically changes according to the number of VMs staying in the system while the size of the agent’s action space is fixed in DRL algorithms. Therefore, the proposed method divides the VM migration control problem into two problems: the problem of determining only the VM distribution (i.e., the proportion of the number of VMs deployed on each edge server) and the problem of determining the locations of all the VMs so that it follows the determined VM distribution. The former problem is solved by a DRL algorithm, and the latter problem is solved by a heuristic method. The simulation results confirm that our proposed method can select quasi-optimal VM locations in various situations with different link delays.

kn-abstract=The concurrent incidence of lung cancer and tuberculosis is expected to escalate due to the projected growth in the older population. Combination therapy with osimertinib and antituberculosis drugs has not been well-established. We report a case of successful treatment involving the concomitant administration of osimertinib and antituberculosis drugs in an older patient, an 89-year-old female, diagnosed with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant lung cancer and pulmonary tuberculosis. Accumulating evidence is warranted to develop an optimal treatment strategy for patients with lung cancer and tuberculosis.

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=This study investigates the effect of nonlinear interactions of Rossby waves on large-scale zonal flow formation in two-dimensional turbulence on a rotating sphere. The coefficients of nonlinear interactions are first calculated. Then, the non-local, near-resonant, and non-local near-resonant interactions are investigated in detail. The results show that the formation of large-scale westward circumpolar zonal flows is directly caused by non-local energy transfer due to the three-wave near-resonant interactions of Rossby waves.

kn-title=Active control of localized mode and transmission in topological phononic waveguides by non-Hermitian modulation
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=We demonstrate the switching behavioral differences between lossy and nearly lossless edge-mode propagation by non-Hermitian modulation based on the phononic band design of a C3v symmetric, two-dimensional phononic crystal with a unit cell composed of three air-filled circular holes in polydimethylsiloxane. We numerically show that strong loss effects lead to the extinction of the localized modes. This mechanism is analogous to the bound-to-unbound transition in non-Hermitian quantum systems. This result suggests that large variations in non-Hermitian modulation can be used for the active control of edge-mode propagation along topological interfaces.

kn-title=Field Choice Problem in Persistent Homology
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=This paper tackles the problem of coefficient field choice in persistent homology. When we compute a persistence diagram, we need to select a coefficient field before computation. We should understand the dependence of the diagram on the coefficient field to facilitate computation and interpretation of the diagram. We clarify that the dependence is strongly related to the torsion part of Z relative homology in the filtration. We show the sufficient and necessary conditions of the independence of coefficient field choice. An efficient algorithm is proposed to verify the independence. A slight modification of the standard persistence algorithm gives the verification algorithm. In a numerical experiment with the algorithm, a persistence diagram rarely changes even when the coefficient field changes if we consider a filtration in R3. The experiment suggests that, in practical terms, changes in the field coefficient will not change persistence diagrams when the data are in R3.

kn-title=Supernova Burst and Diffuse Supernova Neutrino Background Simulator for Water Cherenkov Detectors
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=If a Galactic core-collapse supernova explosion occurs in the future, it will be critical to rapidly alert the community to the direction of the supernova by utilizing neutrino signals in order to enable the initiation of follow-up optical observations. In addition, there is anticipation that observation of the diffuse supernova neutrino background will yield discoveries in the near future, given that experimental upper limits are approaching theoretical predictions. We have developed a new supernova event simulator for water Cherenkov neutrino detectors, such as the highly sensitive Super-Kamiokande. This simulator calculates the neutrino interaction in water for two simulation purposes, individual core-collapse supernova bursts and diffuse supernova neutrino background. Based on this simulator, we can evaluate the precision in determining the location of supernovae and estimate the expected number of events related to the diffuse supernova neutrino background in Super-Kamiokande. In this paper, we describe the basic structure of the simulator and its demonstration.

en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Let n ≥ 2 be a given integer. In this paper, we assert that an n-dimensional traveling front converges to an (n−1)-dimensional entire solution as the speed goes to infinity in a balanced bistable reaction–diffusion equation. As the speed of an n-dimensional axially symmetric or asymmetric traveling front goes to infinity, it converges to an (n−1)-dimensional radially symmetric or asymmetric entire solution in a balanced bistable reaction–diffusion equation, respectively. We conjecture that the radially asymmetric entire solutions obtained in this paper are associated with the ancient solutions called the Angenent ovals in the mean curvature flows.

kn-title=A new insight into the driving mechanism for plate tectonics—the relationship between tectonic processes and the circumferential tensile forces associated with a rotating planet—
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=　Mantle convection currents are the currently accepted driving force for plate tectonics that have ripped apart the continents and created oceans. Because of these actions, continental collisions and ocean closures have resulted. Our paper challenges the conventional concept and provides an alternate, mathematically justified drive mechanism. The pull-push motions of such convection currents in the upper mantle are here concluded to be too weak to be the driving mechanism.<br>
　Our proposal for such global scale forces concerns the effect of an offset centre of mass of the Earth that results in rotational wobbling. Kepler’s laws of planetary motion demonstrate the rotational behavior of the Earth to be aligned with the Sun on the outward and inward motions of the elliptical orbit. The unbalanced rotation on a fixed gravitational axis results in circumferential stresses on the outer Earth’s rim that is more than strong enough to pull the continental plates apart. The proposed unbalanced rotational stress force equation is shown to be sufficient to drive the cyclic breakup and reassembly of the continental plates, as well as the generation of new oceanic crust and subduction zones. Mantle convection currents are here demonstrated to have a passive rather than active role in the plate movements.

kn-title=An Enhancement of Outdoor Location-Based Augmented Reality Anchor Precision through VSLAM and Google Street View
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Outdoor Location-Based Augmented Reality (LAR) applications require precise positioning for seamless integrations of virtual content into immersive experiences. However, common solutions in outdoor LAR applications rely on traditional smartphone sensor fusion methods, such as the Global Positioning System (GPS) and compasses, which often lack the accuracy needed for precise AR content alignments. In this paper, we introduce an innovative approach to enhance LAR anchor precision in outdoor environments. We leveraged Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (VSLAM) technology, in combination with innovative cloud-based methodologies, and harnessed the extensive visual reference database of Google Street View (GSV), to address the accuracy limitation problems. For the evaluation, 10 Point of Interest (POI) locations were used as anchor point coordinates in the experiments. We compared the accuracies between our approach and the common sensor fusion LAR solution comprehensively involving accuracy benchmarking and running load performance testing. The results demonstrate substantial enhancements in overall positioning accuracies compared to conventional GPS-based approaches for aligning AR anchor content in the real world.

en-subtitle=

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=　The traditional economic base model in the field of regional science contributes to identifying regional income producing industries and labor absorption. The economic base model has some conditional assumptions while it is quite tractable.<br>
　Recently, papers by Moretti and others show significant regional multiplier effects of innovative jobs. They refocused on the traditional economic base model. However, their approach has several deficiencies concerning the identification of basic/non-basic industries and ambiguity of multiplier generating mechanisms.<br>
　This paper focuses on regional specialization of knowledge intensive industries and creative jobs which are the driving forces of regional development in the framework of the economic base model. The estimations of regional economic multiplier in terms of employment are carried out using two-digit employment and three-digit job classification data at local municipality level with two-period data. Using these data, I explain regional differences by degree of specialization of knowledge intensive industries and creative workers. By doing this, I propose contemporary regional economic policy. Furthermore, by comparing multiplier effects at local municipality level and regional employment area level, benefits of municipal consolidation are shown.

kn-title=Radiative energy transfer via surface plasmon polaritons around metal–insulator grating: For better understanding of magnetic polariton
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=A conventional metal–insulator nanograting has the potential to transmit near-infrared thermal radiation because an electromagnetic wave is resonated in the grating structure. Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) take place at the interface between the metal and the insulator with boundaries at both ends. Physicists formulated the resonance frequency of the grating from the Fabry–Pérot interference between the grating thickness and the wavelength of SPPs in a short-range coupled mode. On the other hand, engineering researchers often use a lumped-element model assuming a resonant circuit consisting of an inductance of metal and a capacitance of metal-insulator-metal grating structure. Furthermore, they have considered that the resonant circuit excites a strong magnetic field independent of SPPs. This study compares each physical model and numerical simulation results, then clearly shows that all resonance frequencies and features of the circuit resonance can be described by the Fabry–Pérot interference of the SPPs in short-range coupled mode. Moreover, the estimated resonance frequencies obviously correspond to the local maxima of the transmittance of the nanograting with the various thicknesses and pitches. In this case, a strong magnetic field can be observed in the insulator layer as if it might be an isolated magnetic quantum. However, since materials show no magnetism at near-infrared frequencies, the magnetic response appears due to the contribution of SPPs.

kn-title=Preliminary Study of Dental Caries Detection by Deep Neural Network Applying Domain-Specific Transfer Learning
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Purpose The purpose of this study is to confirm whether it is possible to acquire a certain degree of diagnostic ability even with a small dataset using domain-specific transfer learning. In this study, we constructed a simulated caries detection model on panoramic tomography using transfer learning.<br>
Methods A simulated caries model was trained and validated using 1094 trimmed intraoral images. A convolutional neural network (CNN) with three convolution and three max pooling layers was developed. We applied this caries detection model to 50 panoramic images and evaluated its diagnostic performance.<br>
Results The diagnostic performance of the CNN model on the intraoral film was as follows: C0 84.6%; C1 90.6%; C2 88.6%. Finally, we tested 50 panoramic images with simulated caries insertion. The diagnostic performance of the CNN model on the panoramic image was as follows: C0 75.0%, C1 80.0%, C2 80.0%, and overall diagnostic accuracy was 78.0%. The diagnostic performance of the caries detection model constructed only with panoramic images was much lower than that of the intraoral film.<br>
Conclusion Domain-specific transfer learning methods may be useful for saving datasets and training time (179/250).

kn-title=The authorship of teachers: jissen kiroku as the core of professionalism in Japanese jugyo kenkyu
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Purpose<br>
This paper aims to discuss the significance of teacher authorship (jissen kiroku) developed during jugyo kenkyu. Specifically, it explores the structural conditions of jugyo kenkyu that enabled the flourishing of jissen kiroku.<br>
<br>
Design/methodology/approach<br>
To find how jissen kiroku developed in jugyo kenkyu, this paper settled triad of authors-text-readers as the analytical perspective. Disputes through 1960s–1980s are adequate to inquire because it can elucidate how readers read jissen kiroku, which is typically challenging to observe.<br>
<br>
Findings<br>
Jissen kiroku is a powerful tool for semantically preserving, reconstructing and consolidating professional values and knowledge in jugyo kenkyu with deepening connoisseurship. Voluntary educational research associations (VERAs) encourage teachers to write and read jissen kiroku to develop their professionalism, which also helped develop exclusive semantics within the field. These developments were possible due to the public nature of jissen kiroku, disseminated to lesson study (LS) actors, thereby strengthening discussions both inside and outside VERAs.<br>
<br>
Research limitations/implications<br>
The paper proposes shift in views on educational science and emphasizes authorship as authority in that professionalism of teaching can be protected and elevated through authoring.<br>
<br>
Originality/value<br>
The significant roles of writing practice have not been explored enough. This paper finds the value of authorship in terms of public nature and openness to all teachers which enable the enhancement of professionalism of the LS field.

kn-title=Instant estimation of rice yield using ground-based RGB images and its potential applicability to UAV
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important cereals, which provides 20% of the world’s food energy. However, its productivity is poorly assessed especially in the global South. Here, we provide a first study to perform a deep learning-based approach for instantaneously estimating rice yield using RGB images. During ripening stage and at harvest, over 22,000 digital images were captured vertically downwards over the rice canopy from a distance of 0.8 to 0.9m at 4,820 harvesting plots having the yield of 0.1 to 16.1 t ha-1 across six countries in Africa and Japan. A convolutional neural network (CNN) applied to these data at harvest predicted 68% variation in yield with a relative root mean square error (rRMSE) of 0.22. Even when the resolution of images was reduced (from 0.2 to 3.2cm pixel-1 of ground sampling distance), the model could predict 57% variation in yield, implying that this approach can be scaled by use of unmanned aerial vehicles. Our work offers low-cost, hands-on, and rapid approach for high throughput phenotyping, and can lead to impact assessment of productivity-enhancing interventions, detection of fields where these are needed to sustainably increase crop production.

kn-title=Effect of stomach inflation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation on return of spontaneous circulation in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients: A retrospective observational study
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background: Gastric inflation caused by excessive ventilation is a common complication of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Gastric inflation may further compromise ventilation via increases in intrathoracic pressure, leading to decreased venous return and cardiac output, which may impair out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) outcomes. The purpose of this study was to measure the gastric volume of OHCA patients using computed tomography (CT) scan images and evaluate the effect of gastric inflation on return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC).<br>
Methods: In this single-center, retrospective, observational study, CT scan was conducted after ROSC or immediately after death. Total gastric volume was measured. Primary outcome was ROSC. Achievement of ROSC was compared in the gastric distention group and the no gastric distention group; gastric distension was defined as total gastric volume in the ≥75th percentile. Additionally, factors associated with gastric distention were examined.<br>
Results: A total of 446 cases were enrolled in the study; 120 cases (27%) achieved ROSC. The median gastric volume was 400 ml for all OHCA subjects; 1068 ml in gastric distention group vs. 287 ml in no gastric distention group. There was no difference in ROSC between the groups (27/112 [24.1%] vs. 93/334 [27.8%], p = 0.440). Gastric distention did not have a significant impact, even after adjustments (adjusted odds ratio 0.73, 95% confidence interval [0.42–1.29]). Increased gastric volume was associated with longer emergency medical service activity time.<br>
Conclusions: We observed a median gastric volume of 400 ml in patients after OHCA resuscitation. In our setting, gastric distention did not prevent ROSC.

kn-title=Effects of liquefied sake lees on growth performance and faecal and blood characteristics in Japanese Black calves
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Liquefied sake lees, a by-product of Japanese sake, is rich in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, proteins, and prebiotics derived from rice and yeast. Previous studies have reported that Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation products improved the health, growth, and faecal characteristics of preweaning calves. This study investigated the effects of adding liquefied sake lees to milk replacer on the growth performance, faecal characteristics, and blood metabolites of preweaning Japanese Black calves from 6 to 90 days of age. Twenty-four Japanese Black calves at 6 days of age were randomly assigned to one of three treatments: No liquefied sake lees (C, n = 8), 100 g/d (on a fresh matter basis) liquefied sake lees mixed with milk replacer (LS, n = 8), and 200 g/d (on a fresh matter basis) liquefied sake lees mixed with milk replacer (HS, n = 8). The intake of milk replacer and calf starter, as well as, the average daily gain did not differ between the treatments. The number of days counted with faecal score 1 in LS was higher than in HS (P < 0.05), while the number of days with diarrhoea medication in LS and C was lower than HS (P < 0.05). The faecal n-butyric acid concentration tended to be higher in LS compared to C (P = 0.060). The alpha diversity index (Chao1) was higher in HS than in C and LS at 90 days of age (P < 0.05). The principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) using weighted UniFrac distance showed that the bacterial community structures in faeces among the treatments at 90 days of age were significantly different (P < 0.05). The plasma β-hydroxybutyric acid concentration, an indicator of rumen development, was higher for LS than in C throughout the experiment (P < 0.05). These results suggested that adding liquefied sake lees up to 100 g/d (on a fresh matter basis) might promote rumen development in preweaning Japanese Black calves.

kn-title=Deep Learning Enables Instant and Versatile Estimation of Rice Yield Using Ground-Based RGB Images
en-subtitle=

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important cereals, which provides 20% of the world’s food energy. However, its productivity is poorly assessed especially in the global South. Here, we provide a first study to perform a deep-learning-based approach for instantaneously estimating rice yield using red-green-blue images. During ripening stage and at harvest, over 22,000 digital images were captured vertically downward over the rice canopy from a distance of 0.8 to 0.9 m at 4,820 harvesting plots having the yield of 0.1 to 16.1 t·ha−1 across 6 countries in Africa and Japan. A convolutional neural network applied to these data at harvest predicted 68% variation in yield with a relative root mean square error of 0.22. The developed model successfully detected genotypic difference and impact of agronomic interventions on yield in the independent dataset. The model also demonstrated robustness against the images acquired at different shooting angles up to 30° from right angle, diverse light environments, and shooting date during late ripening stage. Even when the resolution of images was reduced (from 0.2 to 3.2 cm·pixel−1 of ground sampling distance), the model could predict 57% variation in yield, implying that this approach can be scaled by the use of unmanned aerial vehicles. Our work offers low-cost, hands-on, and rapid approach for high-throughput phenotyping and can lead to impact assessment of productivity-enhancing interventions, detection of fields where these are needed to sustainably increase crop production, and yield forecast at several weeks before harvesting.

kn-title=Sustainable development goals in teacher education: comparing syllabi in a Japanese and a Slovenian university
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Introduction: This research aims to explore the integration of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within teacher education programs, focusing on the Faculty of Education at Okayama University, Japan and the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia.<br>
Methods: We employed a qualitative content analysis of the syllabi (n = 2,079 from Okayama University; n = 504 from University of Ljubljana) and combined it with insights from semi-structured interviews.<br>
Results: The analysis illuminated a strong emphasis on Quality Education (SDG 4) in both institutions. However, certain SDGs, like Climate Action (SDG 13), were less represented, marking potential areas for enhancement. Differences were also identified in the distribution of SDGs-related content between compulsory and elective courses, indicating institutional priorities. Interview reflections emphasized the pivotal role of educators in realizing SDGs and highlighted the necessity of collaboration to achieve these global objectives.<br>
Discussion: The insights from interviews and syllabi content analysis underscore the urgency to bridge the identified gaps in SDG coverage. Disparities in emphasis between the two Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)-committed universities were noted, suggesting the importance of fostering strategy exchange and partnerships across institutions.<br>
Conclusion: Enhancing the alignment of teacher education programs with SDGs requires collective efforts. By addressing the gaps and promoting effective collaboration, these programs can achieve greater relevance and efficacy in promoting the SDGs.

kn-title=Analysis of Evaporation of Droplet Pairs by a Quasi-Steady-State Diffusion Model Coupled with the Evaporative Cooling Effect
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Multidroplet evaporation is a common phase-change phenomenon not only in nature but also in many industrial applications, including inkjet printing and spray cooling. The evaporation behavior of these droplets is strongly affected by the distance between neighboring droplets, and in particular, evaporation suppression occurs as the distance decreases. However, further quantitative information, such as the temperature and local evaporation flux, is limited because the analytical models of multidroplet evaporation only treat vapor diffusion, and the effect of the latent heat transfer through the liquid–vapor phase change is ignored. Here, we perform a numerical analysis of evaporating droplet pairs that linked vapor diffusion from the droplet surface and evaporative cooling. Heat transfer through the liquid and gas phases is also considered because the saturation pressure depends on the temperature. The results show an increase in the vapor concentration in the region between the two droplets. Consequently, the local evaporation flux in the proximate region significantly decreases with decreasing separation distance. This means that the latent heat transfer through the phase change is diminished, and an asymmetrical temperature distribution occurs in the liquid and gas phases. These numerical results provide quantitative information about the temperature and local evaporation flux of evaporating droplet pairs, and they will guide further investigation of multiple droplet evaporation.

kn-abstract=Biological materials have properties like great strength and flexibility that are not present in synthetic materials. Using the ribs of crucian carp as a reference, we investigated the mechanisms behind the high mechanical properties of this rib bone, and found highly oriented layers of calcium phosphate (CaP) and collagen fibers. To fabricate a fish-rib-bone-mimicking membrane with similar structure and mechanical properties, this study involves (1) the rapid synthesis of plate-like CaP crystals, (2) the layering of CaP-gelatin hydrogels by gradual drying, and (3) controlling the shape of composite membranes using porous gypsum molds. Finally, as a result of optimizing the compositional ratio of CaP filler and gelatin hydrogel, a CaP filler content of 40% provided the optimal mechanical properties of toughness and stiffness similar to fish bone. Due to the rigidity, flexibility, and ease of shape control of the composite membrane materials, this membrane could be applied as a guided bone regeneration (GBR) membrane.

kn-title=Evolutionary-Game-Theory-Based Epidemiological Model for Prediction of Infections with Application to Demand Forecasting in Pharmaceutical Inventory Management Problems
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Pharmaceuticals play a critical role in the eradication of infectious diseases. Effective pharmaceutical inventory management is important for controlling epidemics since medical resources such as pharmaceuticals, medical staff, and hospitals are limited. In this study, a novel epidemiological model is proposed to evaluate the resource requirements for pharmaceuticals and is applied to analyze different pharmaceutical inventory management strategies. We formulate the relationship between the number of infected individuals and the risk of infection to account for virus mutation. Evolutionary game theory is integrated into an epidemiological model to represent human behavioral choices. The proposed model can be developed to forecast the demand for pharmaceuticals and analyze how human behavior affects the demand of pharmaceuticals. This study found that making people aware of the risk of disease has a positive impact on both reducing the number of infections and managing the pharmaceutical inventory. The main contribution of this study is to enhance areas of research in pharmaceutical inventory management. This study revealed that the correct recognition of the risk of disease leads to appropriate pharmaceutical management. There are a few studies on the application of infectious disease models to inventory control problems. This study provides clues toward proper pharmaceutical management.

en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=In this paper, we derive formulas of complex and ℓ-adic multiple polylogarithms, which have two aspects: a duality in terms of indexes and a reflection in terms of variables. We provide an algebraic proof of these formulas by using algebraic relations between associators arising from the S3-symmetry of the projective line minus three points.

kn-title=Several homotopy fixed point spectral sequences in telescopically localized algebraic K-theory
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Let n ≥ 1, p a prime, and T(n) any representative of the Bousfield class of the telescope v−1n F(n) of a finite type n complex. Also, let En be the Lubin-Tate spectrum, K(En) its algebraic K-theory spectrum, and Gn the extended Morava stabilizer group, a profinite group. Motivated by an Ausoni-Rognes conjecture, we show that there are two spectral sequences<br>
IEs,t2 ⇒ πt−s((LT(n+1)K(En))hGn) ⇐ IIEs,t2<br>
with common abutment π∗(−) of the continuous homotopy fixed points of LT(n+1)K(En), where IEs,t2 is continuous cohomology with coefficients in a certain tower of discrete Gn-modules. If the tower satisfies the Mittag-Leffler condition, then there are isomorphisms with continuous cochain cohomology groups:<br>
IE∗,∗2 ≅ H∗cts(Gn, π∗(LT(n+1)K(En))) ≅ IIE∗,∗2.<br>
We isolate two hypotheses, the first of which is true when (n, p) = (1, 2), that imply (LT(n+1)K(En))hGn ≃ LT(n+1)K(LK(n)S0). Also, we show that there is a spectral sequence<br>
Hscts(Gn, πt(K(En) ⊗ T(n + 1))) ⇒ πt−s((K(En) ⊗ T(n + 1))hGn).

kn-abstract=In this paper, we generalize the Cantor function to 2-dimensional cubes and construct a cyclic 2-cocycle on the Cantor dust. This cocycle is non-trivial on the pullback of the smooth functions on the 2-dimensional torus with the generalized Cantor function while it vanishes on the Lipschitz functions on the Cantor dust. The cocycle is calculated through the integration of 2-forms on the torus by using a combinatorial Fredholm module.

If the AR-quiver of A is known then by a result of Auslander and Reiten one can explicity compute G(A) the Grothendieck group of finitely generated A-modules. If the AR-quiver is not known then in this paper we give estimates of G(A)Q = G(A) ⊗Z Q when k = A/m is perfect. As an application we prove that if A is an excellent equi-characteristic Henselian Gornstein local ring of positive even dimension with char A/m ≠ 2, 3, 5 (and A/m perfect) then G(A)Q ≅ Q.

kn-abstract=Let N be a positive integer. For any positive integer L ≤ N and any positive divisor r of N, we enumerate the equivalence classes of dessins d’enfants with N edges, L faces and two vertices whose representatives have automorphism groups of order r. Further, for any non-negative integer h, we enumerate the equivalence classes of dessins with N edges, h faces of degree 2 with h ≤ N, and two vertices whose representatives have automorphism group of order r. Our arguments are essentially based upon a natural one-to-one correspondence between the equivalence classes of all dessins with N edges and the equivalence classes of all pairs of permutations whose entries generate a transitive subgroup of the symmetric group of degree N.

en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the role of ruxolitinib in the interferon beta (IFN-β) mediated osteoblast differentiation using human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs).<br>
Design: hDPSCs from five deciduous teeth of healthy patients were stimulated by adding human recombinant IFN-β protein (1 or 2 ng/ml) to the osteogenic differentiation induction medium. Substrate formation was determined using Alizarin Red staining, calcium concentration, and osteoblast marker expression levels. Ruxolitinib was used to inhibit the Janus kinase/signal transducers and activators of transcription (JAK-STAT) pathway. Apoptosis was detected using terminal deoxynucleotidyl nick-end labeling (TUNEL) staining, and necroptosis was detected using propidium iodide staining and phosphorylated mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (pMLKL) expression.<br>
Results: In the IFN-β-treated group, substrate formation was inhibited by a reduction in alkaline phosphatase (ALP) expression in a concentration-dependent manner. Although the proliferation potency was unchanged between the IFN-β-treated and control groups, the cell number was significantly reduced in the experimental group. TUNEL-positive cell number was not significantly different; however, the protein level of necroptosis markers, interleukin-6 (IL-6) and pMLKL were significantly increased in the substrate formation. Cell number and ALP expression level were improved in the group administered ruxolitinib, a JAK-STAT inhibitor. Additionally, ruxolitinib significantly suppressed IL-6 and pMLKL levels.<br>
Conclusion: Ruxolitinib interfered with the IFN-β-mediated necroptosis and osteogenic differentiation via the JAK-STAT pathway.

kn-abstract=Vitamin-D receptor (VDR) mRNA is overexpressed in neuroblastoma and carcinomas of lung, pancreas, and ovaries and predicts poor prognoses. VDR antagonists may be able to inhibit tumors that overexpress VDR. However, the current antagonists are arduous to synthesize and are only partial antagonists, limiting their use. Here, we show that the VDR antagonist MeTC7 (5), which can be synthesized from 7-dehydrocholesterol (6) in two steps, inhibits VDR selectively, suppresses the viability of cancer cell-lines, and reduces the growth of the spontaneous transgenic TH-MYCN neuroblastoma and xenografts in vivo. The VDR selectivity of 5 against RXRα and PPAR-γ was confirmed, and docking studies using VDR-LBD indicated that 5 induces major changes in the binding motifs, which potentially result in VDR antagonistic effects. These data highlight the therapeutic benefits of targeting VDR for the treatment of malignancies and demonstrate the creation of selective VDR antagonists that are easy to synthesize.

kn-title=A bilevel production planning using machine learning-based customer modeling
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Mass customization is an important strategy to improve production systems to satisfy customers’ preferences while maintaining production efficiency for mass production. Module production is one of the ways to achieve mass customization, and products are produced by combining modules. In the module production, it becomes much more important for manufacturing companies to reflect customers’ preferences for selling products. The manufacturer can increase its total profit by providing customized products that satisfy customers’ preferences by increasing customers’ satisfaction. In conventional production planning, there are some cases where module production is conducted by the demands from customers’ preferences. However, the customer decision-making model has not been employed in the production planning model. In this paper, a production planning model incorporating customers’ preferences is developed. The customers’ purchasing behavior is generated by using a machine learning model. Customer segmentation is conducted by clustering data that uses the purchase data of multiple customers. The resulting production planning model is a bilevel production planning problem consisting of a single company and multiple customers. Each company can sell products that combine modules that customers require in each segment. We show that the proposed model can obtain higher customers’ satisfaction with greater profits than the model that does not employ the customers’ purchasing model.

kn-title=Skin Electrical Impedance Model for Evaluation of the Thickness and Water Content of the Stratum Corneum
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Deterioration of the skin barrier function causes symptoms such as allergies because various chemical substances may enter the human body. Quantitative evaluation of the thickness and water content of the stratum corneum is useful as a measure of the skin barrier function in domains such as dermatology, nursing science, and cosmetics development. The stratum corneum is responsible for most of the skin barrier function, and two factors—the thickness and water content of the stratum corneum—are thus important. In this paper, the stratum corneum is regarded as a parallel model of resistance and capacitance. From measurements of the electrical impedance of the skin, we propose a new model for simultaneous estimation of the thickness and water content of the stratum corneum conventionally measured by a confocal laser scanning microscope and a confocal Raman spectrometer, respectively, and we discuss the results of the measurements. The electrical impedance of the skin was measured using a device that we developed. The measurement began 3 seconds after the electrodes on the measurement head of the device came into contact with the skin, and parameters including the impedance, which was obtained by applying an alternating current signal at two frequencies, were measured. We measured the thickness and water content of the stratum corneum using confocal laser microscopy and confocal Raman spectroscopy, respectively; investigated the relationship of the thickness and water content of the stratum corneum with the electrical impedance of the skin; and established a new potential model for estimating the thickness and water content of the stratum corneum from the parallel resistance and capacitance. The correlation coefficients of the verification data were 0.931 and 0.776, respectively; and the root-mean-squared error of the thickness of the stratum corneum was 2.3 µm, while the root-mean-squared error of the water content at the surface of the stratum corneum was 5.4 points. These findings indicate the feasibility of quantitative evaluation of the thickness and water content of the stratum corneum by measuring skin electrical impedance.

en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=We introduce factorial analogues of the ordinary Hall–Littlewood P- and Q-polynomials, which we call the factorial Hall–Littlewood P- and Q-polynomials. Using the universal formal group law, we further generalize these polynomials to the universal factorial Hall–Littlewood P- and Q-functions. We show that these functions satisfy the vanishing property which the ordinary factorial Schur S-, P-, and Q-polynomials have. By the vanishing property, we derive the Pieri-type formula and a certain generalization of the classical hook formula. We then characterize our functions in terms of Gysin maps from flag bundles in complex cobordism theory. Using this characterization and Gysin formulas for flag bundles, we obtain generating functions for the universal factorial Hall–Littlewood P- and Q-functions. Using our generating functions, we show that our factorial Hall–Littlewood P- and Q-polynomials have a certain cancellation property. Further applications such as Pfaffian formulas for K-theoretic factorial Q-polynomials are also given.

kn-title=Adaptive heterogeneous particle swarm optimization with comprehensive learning strategy
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=This paper proposes an adaptive heterogeneous particle swarm optimization with a comprehensive learning strategy for solving single-objective constrained optimization problems. In this algorithm, particles can use an exploration strategy and an exploitation strategy to update their positions. The historical success rates of the two strategies are used to adaptively control the adoption rates of strategies in the next iteration. The search strategy in the canonical particle swarm optimization algorithm is based on elite solutions. As a result, when no particles can discover better solutions for several generations, this algorithm is likely to fall into stagnation. To respond to this challenge, a new strategy is proposed to explore the neighbors of the elite solutions in this study. Finally, a constraint handling method is equipped to the proposed algorithm to make it be able to solve constrained optimization problems. The proposed algorithm is compared with the canonical particle swarm optimization, differential evolution, and several recently proposed algorithms on the benchmark test suite. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test results show that the proposed algorithm is significantly better on most of the benchmark problems compared with the competitors. The proposed algorithm is also applied to solve two real-world mechanical engineering problems. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm performs consistently well on these problems.

kn-title=Effects of the rigid and sterically bulky structure of non-fused nonfullerene acceptors on transient photon-to-current dynamics
en-subtitle=

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Non-fused electron-accepting π-conjugated compounds have been investigated recently for application to nonfullerene acceptors (NFAs) in organic solar cells (OSCs). However, the establishment of rational molecular design for non-fused NFAs is still lagging because the influence of flexible non-fused structures on the dynamics of electron–hole pairs in OSCs is not entirely understood. In this study, we utilized cyclopentene-annelated thiophene with spiro-substituted 2,7-bis(2-ethylhexyl)fluorene (FT) as a rigid and sterically bulky linker unit and developed a non-fused NFA (TT–FT–DCI) containing FT units. Photophysical measurements indicated that the introduction of the FT unit leads to the formation of rigid molecular structure. OSCs based on donor polymer (PBDB-T) and TT–FT–DCI showed an improved power conversion efficiency of 7.13% due to the increase in the short-circuit current density and fill factor. Time-resolved optical and microwave spectroscopies showed that the FT unit contributes to the long lifetimes of excited state and charge-separated state in the PBDBT:TT–FT–DCI blend films. Time-resolved electron paramagnetic resonance measurements showed that the distant charge-separated states of the face-to-face PBDB-T:TT–FT–DCI structure, which is derived by avoiding over-crystallization by the steric bulkiness of TT–FT–DCI, can interact with the cathodes for preferential electron injection following charge generations. This study highlights that by using the rigid π-conjugated framework and suppressed self-aggregation of the non-fused acceptor, effective molecular design for the appropriate dynamics of photocurrent generation is possible.

en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=We report the first search result for the flux of astrophysical electron antineutrinos for energies O(10) MeV in the gadolinium-loaded Super-Kamiokande (SK) detector. In 2020 June, gadolinium was introduced to the ultrapure water of the SK detector in order to detect neutrons more efficiently. In this new experimental phase, SK-Gd, we can search for electron antineutrinos via inverse beta decay with efficient background rejection thanks to the high efficiency of the neutron tagging technique. In this paper, we report the result for the initial stage of SK-Gd, during 2020 August 26, and 2022 June 1 with a 22.5 x 552 kton center dot day exposure at 0.01% Gd mass concentration. No significant excess over the expected background in the observed events is found for the neutrino energies below 31.3 MeV. Thus, the flux upper limits are placed at the 90% confidence level. The limits and sensitivities are already comparable with the previous SK result with pure water (22.5 x 2970 kton center dot day) owing to the enhanced neutron tagging. Operation with Gd increased to 0.03% started in 2022 June.

kn-title=Features and Evolution of Global Energy Trade Patterns from the Perspective of Complex Networks
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=As an integral part of economic trade, energy trade is crucial to international dynamics and national interests. In this study, an international energy trade network is constructed by abstracting countries as nodes and representing energy trade relations as edges. A variety of indicators are designed in terms of networks, nodes, bilaterals, and communities to analyze the temporal and spatial evolution of the global energy trade network from 2001 to 2020. The results indicate that network density and strength have been steadily increasing since the beginning of the 21st century. It is observed that the position of the United States as the core of the international energy market is being impacted by emerging developing countries, thus affecting the existing trade balance based on topological analysis. The weighted analysis of bilateral relations demonstrates that emerging countries such as China, Brazil, and Saudi Arabia are pursuing closer cooperation. The community analysis reveals that an increasing number of countries possess strong energy trade capabilities, resulting in a corresponding increase in energy trade volumes.

kn-title=Data-driven evolutionary computation for service constrained inventory optimization in multi-echelon supply chains
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Supply chain digital twin has emerged as a powerful tool in studying the behavior of an actual supply chain. However, most studies in the field of supply chain digital twin have only focused on what-if analysis that compares several different scenarios. This study proposes a data-driven evolutionary algorithm to efficiently solve the service constrained inventory optimization problem using historical data that generated by supply chain digital twins. The objective is to minimize the total costs while satisfying the required service level for a supply chain. The random forest algorithm is used to build surrogate models which can be used to estimate the total costs and service level in a supply chain. The surrogate models are optimized by an ensemble approach-based differential evolution algorithm which can adaptively use different search strategies to improve the performance during the computation process. A three-echelon supply chain digital twin on the geographic information system (GIS) map in real-time is used to examine the efficiency of the proposed method. The experimental results indicate that the data-driven evolutionary algorithm can reduce the total costs and maintain the required service level. The finding suggests that our proposed method can learn from the historical data and generate better inventory policies for a supply chain digital twin.

kn-title=Plant Hormonomics: A Key Tool for Deep Physiological Phenotyping to Improve Crop Productivity
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Agriculture is particularly vulnerable to climate change. To cope with the risks posed by climate-related stressors to agricultural production, global population growth, and changes in food preferences, it is imperative to develop new climate-smart crop varieties with increased yield and environmental resilience. Molecular genetics and genomic analyses have revealed that allelic variations in genes involved in phytohormone-mediated growth regulation have greatly improved productivity in major crops. Plant science has remarkably advanced our understanding of the molecular basis of various phytohormone-mediated events in plant life. These findings provide essential information for improving the productivity of crops growing in changing climates. In this review, we highlight the recent advances in plant hormonomics (multiple phytohormone profiling) and discuss its application to crop improvement. We present plant hormonomics as a key tool for deep physiological phenotyping, focusing on representative plant growth regulators associated with the improvement of crop productivity. Specifically, we review advanced methodologies in plant hormonomics, highlighting mass spectrometry- and nanosensor-based plant hormone profiling techniques. We also discuss the applications of plant hormonomics in crop improvement through breeding and agricultural management practices.

kn-title=Adrenomedullin Enhances Mouse Gustatory Nerve Responses to Sugars via T1R-Independent Sweet Taste Pathway
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=On the tongue, the T1R-independent pathway (comprising glucose transporters, including sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT1) and the K-ATP channel) detects only sugars, whereas the T1R-dependent (T1R2/T1R3) pathway can broadly sense various sweeteners. Cephalic-phase insulin release, a rapid release of insulin induced by sensory signals in the head after food-related stimuli, reportedly depends on the T1R-independent pathway, and the competitive sweet taste modulators leptin and endocannabinoids may function on these two different sweet taste pathways independently, suggesting independent roles of two oral sugar-detecting pathways in food intake. Here, we examined the effect of adrenomedullin (ADM), a multifunctional regulatory peptide, on sugar sensing in mice since it affects the expression of SGLT1 in rat enterocytes. We found that ADM receptor components were expressed in T1R3-positive taste cells. Analyses of chorda tympani (CT) nerve responses revealed that ADM enhanced responses to sugars but not to artificial sweeteners and other tastants. Moreover, ADM increased the apical uptake of a fluorescent D-glucose derivative into taste cells and SGLT1 mRNA expression in taste buds. These results suggest that the T1R-independent sweet taste pathway in mouse taste cells is a peripheral target of ADM, and the specific enhancement of gustatory nerve responses to sugars by ADM may contribute to caloric sensing and food intake.

kn-title=Social aspects of collision avoidance: a detailed analysis of two-person groups and individual pedestrians
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Pedestrian groups are commonly found in crowds but research on their social aspects is comparatively lacking. To fill that void in literature, we study the dynamics of collision avoidance between pedestrian groups (in particular dyads) and individual pedestrians in an ecological environment, focusing in particular on (i) how such avoidance depends on the group's social relation (e.g. colleagues, couples, friends or families) and (ii) its intensity of social interaction (indicated by conversation, gaze exchange, gestures etc). By analyzing relative collision avoidance in the "center of mass" frame, we were able to quantify how much groups and individuals avoid each other with respect to the aforementioned properties of the group. A mathematical representation using a potential energy function is proposed to model avoidance and it is shown to provide a fair approximation to the empirical observations. We also studied the probability that the individuals disrupt the group by "passing through it" (termed as intrusion). We analyzed the dependence of the parameters of the avoidance model and of the probability of intrusion on groups' social relation and intensity of interaction. We confirmed that the stronger social bonding or interaction intensity is, the more prominent collision avoidance turns out. We also confirmed that the probability of intrusion is a decreasing function of interaction intensity and strength of social bonding. Our results suggest that such variability should be accounted for in models and crowd management in general. Namely, public spaces with strongly bonded groups (e.g. a family-oriented amusement park) may require a different approach compared to public spaces with loosely bonded groups (e.g. a business-oriented trade fair).

kn-title=Decreased expression of hyaluronan synthase and loss of hyaluronan-rich cells in the anterior tibial fascia of the rat model of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Introduction: Previous studies on chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) have focused on neuronal damage. Although some studies have revealed that the fascia is an important sensory organ, currently, we do not know about chemotherapy drug-induced fascial dysfunction.<br>
Objectives: This study aimed to explore the fascia as a nonneural cause of mechanical hypersensitivity in CIPN by investigating the expression of hyaluronic acid synthase (HAS) and histology of the fascia in an animal model of CIPN.<br>
Methods: Rats were intraperitoneally administered with vincristine (VCR). Mechanical hypersensitivities of the hind paw and the anterior tibial muscle were assessed. The expression of HAS mRNA in the fascia of the anterior tibial muscles was quantitated using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Immunohistochemistry was also performed for HAS2, hyaluronic acid-binding protein, and S100A4 in the fascia.<br>
Results: Vincristine administration significantly decreased mechanical withdrawal thresholds in the hind paw and the anterior tibial muscle after day 3. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction showed significant downregulation of HAS mRNAs in the fascia of VCR-treated rats. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that the number of cells with strong HAS2 immunoreactivity, classified as fasciacytes by morphology and colocalized marker S100A4, decreased significantly in the VCR group.<br>
Conclusion:Hyaluronic acid plays a critical role in somatic pain sensation. Damaged fascia could be a possible cause of musculoskeletal pain in patients with CIPN. This study suggests that fascia is a nonneural cause and novel therapeutic target for chemotherapy-induced "peripheral neuropathy."

kn-abstract=A recurrent neural network (RNN) can generate a sequence of patterns as the temporal evolution of the output vector. This paper focuses on a continuous-time RNN model with a piecewise-linear activation function that has neither external inputs nor hidden neurons, and studies the problem of finding the parameters of the model so that it generates a given sequence of bipolar vectors. First, a sufficient condition for the model to generate the desired sequence is derived, which is expressed as a system of linear inequalities in the parameters. Next, three approaches to finding solutions of the system of linear inequalities are proposed: One is formulated as a convex quadratic programming problem and others are linear programming problems. Then, two types of sequences of bipolar vectors that can be generated by the model are presented. Finally, the case where the model generates a periodic sequence of bipolar vectors is considered, and a sufficient condition for the trajectory of the state vector to converge to a limit cycle is provided.

kn-title=Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor-dependent and NMDA receptor-dependent LTP and LTD share the common AMPAR trafficking pathway
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The forebrain cholinergic system promotes higher brain function in part by signaling through the M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR). Long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD) of excitatory synaptic transmis-sion in the hippocampus are also induced by mAChR. An AMPA receptor (AMPAR) trafficking model for hippocampal neurons has been proposed to simulate N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR)-dependent synaptic plasticity in the early phase. In this study, we demonstrated the validity of the hypothesis that the mAChR-dependent LTP/LTD shares a common AMPAR trafficking pathway associated with NMDAR-dependent LTP/LTD. However, unlike NMDAR, Ca2+ influx into the spine cytosol occurs owing to the Ca2+ stored inside the ER and is induced via the activation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptors during M1 mAChR activation. Moreover, the AMPAR trafficking model implies that alterations in LTP and LTD observed in Alzheimer's disease could be attributed to age-dependent reductions in AMPAR expression levels.

kn-title=Home literacy environment and early reading skills in Japanese Hiragana and Kanji during the transition from kindergarten to primary school
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=We examined the reciprocal associations between home literacy environment (HLE) and children's early reading skills in syllabic Hiragana and morphographic Kanji in a sample of Japanese parent-child dyads. Eighty-three children were followed from kindergarten to Grade 3 and tested on Hiragana reading accuracy in kindergarten, Hiragana word reading fluency in kindergarten and Grade 1, and Kanji reading accuracy in Grade 1 to Grade 3. Their parents answered a questionnaire about HLE [parent teaching (PT) in Hiragana and Kanji, shared book reading (SBR), and access to literacy resources (ALR)], parents' needs for early literacy support by teachers, parents' expectations for children's reading skills, parents' worry about children's homework, and mother's education level. Results showed first that ALR, but not PT and SBR, was associated with reading skills in Hiragana and Kanji. Second, whereas Hiragana reading in kindergarten was not associated with PT in Hiragana in kindergarten, it negatively predicted PT in Hiragana in Grade 1. However, Kanji reading accuracy was not associated with PT in Kanji across Grades 1 to 3. Third, parents' worry was negatively associated with children's reading performance across Grades 1 to 3 but positively associated with PT in Hiragana and Kanji. Finally, while parents' expectations were positively associated with children's reading performance across Grades 1 to 3, they were negatively associated with PT in Hiragana and Kanji in Grades 1 and 2. These results suggest that Japanese parents may be sensitive to both their children's reading performance and social expectations for school achievement and adjust their involvement accordingly during the transition period from kindergarten to early primary grades. ALR may be associated with early reading development in both Hiragana and Kanji.

kn-title=Integrating Perspectives from Education for Sustainable Development to Foster Plant Awareness among Trainee Science Teachers: A Mixed Methods Study
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=This mixed-method study aimed to investigate the efficacy of an intervention unit that integrates perspectives from Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) to foster plant awareness, within the context of botanical lessons for trainee science teachers. Third-year undergraduate students (n = 91) studying to become lower secondary school (grade 7-9) science teachers from a public university in East Java, Indonesia, participated in this study. Data were collected through a self-reported questionnaire, reflective journal entries, and focus group interviews. The findings revealed a statistically significant increase in the participants' attention and attitude towards plants, relative interest in plants, and self-efficacy in teaching plant-related topics. The triangulation of the analysis results from the reflective journals and focus group interviews demonstrated that through transformative learning, the participants' experiences, perceptions, and learning evolved throughout the intervention unit, leading to their more comprehensive understanding of plant-related issues and their connection to broader sustainability concerns. These findings imply that the integration of ESD perspectives into botanical education positively affects plant awareness. Future research could further investigate the long-term impact of integrating ESD perspectives on teacher training programs.

en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=In this study, floatability rate of aluminum (Al) powders was analyzed for the purpose of separating valuable resources from residual materials in waste photovoltaic (PV) solar cells, and equations for flotation recovery were developed for various flotation types according to the rate-determining steps of the gas flowrate and feed rate. The flotation rate became a zero-order reaction at the rate-determining step of the gas flow rate and had the same form between a batch and continuous typed practices by substituting residence time with real time. Under the rate-determining step of the feed rate, the flotation rate was expressed by the linear combination of the first-order reaction of an even group material. The flotation recovery rate of Al powders was analyzed by the data of a batch floatability experiment and indicated by the linear expression of the first-order reaction of two groups due to the rate-determining step of the feed rate. The calculated separation recovery of n-cell type device increased as the number of cells increased and approached that of the batch and column types.

en-subtitle=

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The dual-channel assumption of the cognitive theory of multimedia learning suggests that importing a large amount of information through a single (visual or audio) channel overloads that channel, causing partial loss of information, while importing it simultaneously through multiple channels relieves the burden on them and leads to the registration of a larger amount of information. In light of such knowledge, this study investigates the possibility of reinforcing visual stimuli with audio for supporting e-learners in memorization tasks. Specifically, we consider three kinds of learning material and two kinds of audio stimuli and partially reinforce each kind of material with each kind of stimuli in an arbitrary way. In a series of experiments, we determine the particular type of audio, which offers the highest improvement for each kind of material. Our work stands out as being the first study investigating the differences in memory performance in relation to different combinations of learning content and stimulus. Our key findings from the experiments are: (i) E-learning is more effective in refreshing memory rather than studying from scratch, (ii) Non-informative audio is more suited to verbal content, whereas informative audio is better for numerical content, (iii) Constant audio triggering degrades learning performance and thus audio triggering should be handled with care. Based on these findings, we develop an ANN-based estimator to determine the proper moment for triggering audio (i.e. when memory performance is estimated to be declining) and carry out follow-up experiments for testing the integrated framework. Our contributions involve (i) determination of the most effective audio for each content type, (ii) estimation of memory deterioration based on learners' interaction logs, and (iii) the proposal of improvement of memory registration through auditory reinforcement. We believe that such findings constitute encouraging evidence the memory registration of e-learners can be enhanced with content-aware audio incorporation.

kn-title=Effect of Impeller and Gas Stirring on Agglomeration Behavior of Polydisperse Fine Particles in Liquid
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Agglomeration, coalescence and flotation of non-metallic inclusions in steel melt are effective for obtaining “clean steel.” In this study, the agglomeration and breakup behaviors of particles with a primary particle size distribution (hereinafter, polydisperse particles) in a liquid under impeller and gas stirring were compared by numerical calculations and model experiments. The particle-size-grouping (PSG) method in the numerical agglomeration model of particles was combined with a breakup term of agglomeration due to bubble bursting at the free surface. Polydisperse and monodisperse polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) particles were used in the agglomeration experiments. The agglomeration rate of the polydisperse particles under impeller stirring was increased by an increasing energy input rate, whereas the agglomeration rate under gas stirring decreased under this condition due to the larger contribution of the breakup of agglomerated particles during bubble bursting in gas stirring. At the same energy input rate, agglomeration of polydisperse particles was larger under impeller stirring than under gas stirring. The agglomeration rate of polydisperse particles was larger than that of monodisperse particles under both impeller and gas stirring at the same energy input rate. The computational temporal changes in the total number of particles were in good agreement with the experimental results. This means that the difference in the agglomeration behaviors observed in impeller and gas stirring can be explained by the turbulent coagulation and subsequent agglomerated particle breakup in gas stirring. The computational temporal change in the number of each group approximately agreed with the experimental change in both impeller and gas stirring.

kn-title=Collaborative bargaining solution in tandem supply chain through cooperative game theoretical approach
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=There are many studies about negotiation procedures for contract problems in supply chains. Several recent papers have considered a new negotiation procedure for a repurchase contract problem in a supply chain consisting of a manufacturer and a retailer. There, usually, are some wholesalers between a manufacturer and a retailer. Therefore, a supply chain including some wholesalers in addition to a manufacturer and a retailer should be considered. In this study, we call the supply chain in which three or more members are arranged in series the tandem supply chain. We, firstly, address a negotiation problem for a contract about wholesale and repurchase prices in the tandem supply chain in which three members, that is, a manufacturer, a wholesaler and a retailer are arranged in series. The whole contract in the tandem supply chain is composed of two contracts dependent mutually, i.e., the contract between the manufacturer and wholesaler and the contract between the wholesaler and retailer. The collaborative bargaining solution in the tandem supply chain consisting of three members is discussed. This paper, finally, formulates the tandem supply chain including several wholesalers.

kn-title=Measurement of Doppler effects in a cryogenic buffer-gas cell
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Buffer-gas cooling is a universal cooling technique for molecules and used for various purposes. One of its ap- plications is using molecules inside a buffer-gas cell for low-temperature spectroscopy. Although a high-intensity signal is expected in the cell, complex molecular dynamics is a drawback for precise spectroscopy. In this study, we performed high-resolution absorption spectroscopy of low -J transitions in the &Atilde;&sup2;Π(0, 0, 0)-˜X&sup2;Σ<sup>+</sup>(0, 0, 0) band of calcium monohydroxide (CaOH). CaOH molecules were produced by laser ablation in a copper cell and cooled to ∼5 K using helium buffer gas. We probed the Doppler effects in a buffer-gas cell by injecting counterpropagating lasers inside the cell. The time evolutions of the Doppler width and shift were simulated using a dedicated Monte Carlo simulation and compared with data.

en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=When a snake robot explores a collapsed house as a rescue robot, it needs to move through various obstacles, some of which may be made of soft materials, such as mattresses. In this study, we call mattress-like environment as a soft floor, which deforms when some force is added to it. We focused on the central pattern generator (CPG) network as a control for the snake robot to propel itself on the soft floor and constructed a CPG network that feeds back contact information between the robot and the floor. A genetic algorithm was used to determine the parameters of the CPG network suitable for the soft floor. To verify the obtained parameters, comparative simulations were conducted using the parameters obtained for the soft and hard floor, and the parameters were confirmed to be appropriate for each environment. By observing the difference in snake robot's propulsion depending on the presence or absence of the tactile sensor feedback signal, we confirmed the effectiveness of the tactile sensor considered in the parameter search.

kn-title=Lithium Isotope Constraints on Slab and Mantle Contribution to Arc Magmas
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Dehydration of subducting oceanic lithosphere (slab) induces Li-isotope fractionation between the fluid and the slab, suggested by the δ7Li variation (∼10‰) in exhumed subduction complexes. Given that arc magmas represent melt of the supraslab mantle, a large δ7Li variation is anticipated for arc volcanic rocks. However, the δ7Li values in these rocks are mostly homogeneous within the range of mid-ocean ridge basalts (+1.6 to +5.6‰). The lack of a subduction-related δ7Li signature has been explained by (1) homogenization by mixing of different magma sources, (2) loss of Li from the slab via dehydration, or (3) homogenization by diffusive exchange of slab-derived Li and the mantle. The Chugoku district in SW Japan is an ideal place to study the process responsible for Li-isotope variation in arc magmas, since the Chugoku volcanic rocks show large δ7Li variation (–1.9 to +7.4‰). High δ7Li values (+6.3 to +7.4‰) are found in some high-Sr andesites and dacites (adakites) whereas low δ7Li values (–1.0 to –0.1‰) are found in high-Mg andesites. The parental magmas of these rocks have been sourced from subducted oceanic crust and sediments, respectively, with various extents of the interaction with wedge mantle. The limited extents of Li isotope modification are indicated by the similarity of the δ7Li values of these rocks and their supposed sources. The models for a slab dehydration and a diffusive exchange between slab-derived melt and mantle demonstrate that the δ7Li signatures of the sources can be preserved in the adakites if they ascent rapidly in mantle.

en-abstract=In recent years, education to cultivate creativity has been developing in Japan and abroad, and classes that stimulate creativity across subject areas, such as Period for Inquiry-Based Cross-Disciplinary Study and STEAM education, are being developed. We have developed and implemented a new class on the topic of ‘color’ as a liberal arts education course at a university, combining knowledge of physics and clothing science and incorporating project-based activities. By incorporating mechanisms that encourage students to perceive things with an awareness of various connections and to become aware of the characteristics of their own thinking and senses, the class stimulates students for proactive and creativity. Analysis of the shuttle card, webbing in the discussion process, and the CLASS which measures students' thinking and attitudes toward physics and physical learning, revealed that the program was highly effective in promoting ‘awareness of one's own existence to think, feel, and judge’ which is essential to cultivate creativity.

kn-title=Technology Trend Analysis of Japanese Green Vehicle Powertrains Technology Using Patent Citation Data
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=As automobiles are major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, the technological shift towards vehicle powertrain systems is an attempt to lower problems such as emissions of carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides. Patent data are the most reliable measure of business performance for applied research and development activities when investigating knowledge domains or technology evolution. This is the first study on Japanese patent citation data of the green vehicle powertrains technology industry, using the social network analysis method, which emphasizes centrality estimates and community detection. This study not only elucidates the knowledge by visualizing flow patterns but also provides a precious and congregative method for verifying important patents under the International Patent Classification system and grasping the trend of the new technology industry. This study detects leading companies, not only in terms of the number of patents but also the importance of the patents. The empirical result shows that the International Patent Classification (IPC) class that starts with "B60K", which includes hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) and battery electric vehicle (BEV), is more likely to be the technology trend in the green vehicle powertrains industry.

kn-abstract=Simple Summary Pancreatic cancer is difficult to treat. Novel treatment strategies are urgently needed to improve the survival rate, which is approximately 10% five years after diagnosis. The use of nanomedicines, which are formulated within a characteristic size range that favors its specific delivery to the diseased tissue, is being actively explored in cancer treatment. However, fibrosis (the abnormal accumulation of a cell type called fibroblasts and the fibrous protein network that they create) is characteristically seen in pancreatic cancer and hinders the delivery of nanomedicines into cancerous tissue. The decreased efficiency of delivery limits the therapeutic effects of nanomedicine in pancreatic cancer. We call this the "fibrotic barrier" to nanomedicine. To overcome the fibrotic barrier, we could target the fibrotic process and/or optimize the nanomedicine design. In this review, we give a detailed overview of strategies to overcome the fibrotic barriers in pancreatic cancer and highlight key gaps in our understanding. Pancreatic cancer is notorious for its dismal prognosis. The enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect theory posits that nanomedicines (therapeutics in the size range of approximately 10-200 nm) selectively accumulate in tumors. Nanomedicine has thus been suggested to be the "magic bullet"-both effective and safe-to treat pancreatic cancer. However, the densely fibrotic tumor microenvironment of pancreatic cancer impedes nanomedicine delivery. The EPR effect is thus insufficient to achieve a significant therapeutic effect. Intratumoral fibrosis is chiefly driven by aberrantly activated fibroblasts and the extracellular matrix (ECM) components secreted. Fibroblast and ECM abnormalities offer various potential targets for therapeutic intervention. In this review, we detail the diverse strategies being tested to overcome the fibrotic barriers to nanomedicine in pancreatic cancer. Strategies that target the fibrotic tissue/process are discussed first, which are followed by strategies to optimize nanomedicine design. We provide an overview of how a deeper understanding, increasingly at single-cell resolution, of fibroblast biology is revealing the complex role of the fibrotic stroma in pancreatic cancer pathogenesis and consider the therapeutic implications. Finally, we discuss critical gaps in our understanding and how we might better formulate strategies to successfully overcome the fibrotic barriers in pancreatic cancer.

kn-title=Flexible Route Planning for Multiple Mobile Robots by Combining Q-Learning and Graph Search Algorithm
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The use of multiple mobile robots has grown significantly over the past few years in logistics, manufacturing and public services. Conflict-free route planning is one of the major research challenges for such mobile robots. Optimization methods such as graph search algorithms are used extensively to solve route planning problems. Those methods can assure the quality of solutions, however, they are not flexible to deal with unexpected situations. In this article, we propose a flexible route planning method that combines the reinforcement learning algorithm and a graph search algorithm for conflict-free route planning problems for multiple robots. In the proposed method, Q-learning, a reinforcement algorithm, is applied to avoid collisions using off-line learning with a limited state space to reduce the total learning time. Each vehicle independently finds the shortest route using the A* algorithm, and Q-learning is used to avoid collisions. The effectiveness of the proposed method is examined by comparing it with conventional methods in terms of computation time and the quality of solutions. Computational results show that for dynamic transportation problems, the proposed method can generate the solutions with approximately 10% of the computation time compared to the conventional Q-learning approach. We found that the required computation time is linearly increased with respect to the number of vehicles and nodes in the problems.

kn-title=Three Diverse Applications of General-Purpose Parameter Optimization Algorithm
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Parameters often take key roles in determining the accuracy of algorithms, logics, and models for practical applications. Previously, we have proposed a general-purpose parameter optimization algorithm, and studied its applications in various practical problems. This algorithm optimizes the parameter values by repeating small changes of them based on a local search method with hill-climbing capabilities. In this paper, we present three diverse applications of this algorithm to show the versatility and effectiveness. The first application is the fingerprint-based indoor localization system using IEEE802.15.4 devices called FILS15.4 that can detect the location of a user in an indoor environment. It is shown that the number of fingerprints for each detection point, the fingerprint values, and the detection interval are optimized together, and the average detection accuracy exceeds 99%. The second application is the human face contour approximation model that is described by a combination of half circles, line segments, and a quadratic curve. It is shown that the simple functions can well approximate the face contour of various persons by optimizing the center coordinates, radii, and coefficients. The third application is the computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulation to estimate temperature changes in a room. It is shown that the thermal conductivity is optimized to make the average temperature difference between the estimated and measured 0.22 &#8451;.

kn-title=High-resolution spectroscopy of buffer-gas-cooled phthalocyanine
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=For over five decades, studies in the field of chemical physics and physical chemistry have primarily aimed to understand the quantum properties of molecules. However, high-resolution rovibronic spectroscopy has been limited to relatively small and simple systems because translationally and rotationally cold samples have not been prepared in sufficiently large quantities for large and complex systems. In this study, we present high-resolution rovibronic spectroscopy results for large gas-phase molecules, namely, free-base phthalocya-nine (FBPc). The findings suggest that buffer-gas cooling may be effective for large molecules introduced via laser ablation. High-resolution electronic spectroscopy, combined with other experimental and theoretical studies, will be useful in understanding the quantum properties of molecules. These findings also serve as a guide for quantum chemical calculations of large molecules.

kn-title=A Throughput Request Satisfaction Method for Concurrently Communicating Multiple Hosts in Wireless Local Area Network
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Nowadays, the IEEE 802.11 wireless local area network (WLAN) has been widely used for Internet access services around the world. Then, the unfairness or insufficiency in meeting the throughput request can appear among concurrently communicating hosts with the same access point (AP), which should be solved by sacrificing advantageous hosts. Previously, we studied the fairness control method by adopting packet transmission delay at the AP. However, it suffers from slow convergence and may not satisfy different throughput requests among hosts. In this paper, we propose a throughput request satisfaction method for providing fair or different throughput requests when multiple hosts are concurrently communicating with a single AP. To meet the throughput request, the method (1) measures the single and concurrent throughput for each host, (2) calculates the channel occupying time from them, (3) derives the target throughput to achieve the given throughput request, and (4) controls the traffic by applying traffic shaping at the AP. For evaluations, we implemented the proposal in the WLAN testbed system with one Raspberry Pi AP and up to five hosts, and conducted extensive experiments in five scenarios with different throughput requests. The results confirmed the effectiveness of our proposal.

kn-title=Fetal Cerebellar Growth Curves Based on Biomathematics in Normally Developing Japanese Fetuses and Fetuses with Trisomy 18
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=We used biomathematics to describe and compare cerebellar growth in normally developing and trisomy 18 Japanese fetuses. This retrospective study included 407 singleton pregnancies with fetuses at 14-39 weeks of gestation and 33 fetuses with trisomy 18 at 17-35 weeks. We used ultrasonography to measure fetal transverse cerebellar diameter (TCD) and anteroposterior cerebellar diameter (APCD). We hypothesized that cerebellar growth is proportional to cerebellar length at any given time point. We determined the formula L(t) ≒Keat+r, where e is Napier’s number, t is time, L is cerebellar length, and a, K, and r are constants. We then obtained regression functions for each TCD and APCD in all fetuses. The regression equations for TCD and APCD values in normal fetuses, expressed as exponential functions, were TCD(t)=27.85e0.02788t−28.62 (mm) (adjusted R2=0.997), and APCD(t)=324.29e0.00286t−322.62 (mm) (adjusted R2=0.995). These functions indicated that TCD and APCD grew at constant rates of 2.788%/week and 0.286%/week, respectively, throughout gestation. TCD (0.0153%/week) and APCD (0.000430%/week) grew more slowly in trisomy 18 fetuses. This study demonstrates the potential of biomathematics in clinical research and may aid in biological understanding of fetal cerebellar growth.

kn-title=Artificial Intelligence-based Detection of Epileptic Discharges from Pediatric Scalp Electroencephalograms: A Pilot Study

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=We developed an artificial intelligence (AI) technique to identify epileptic discharges (spikes) in pediatric scalp electroencephalograms (EEGs). We built a convolutional neural network (CNN) model to automatically classify steep potential images into spikes and background activity. For the CNN model’ training and validation, we examined 100 children with spikes in EEGs and another 100 without spikes. A different group of 20 children with spikes and 20 without spikes were the actual test subjects. All subjects were ≥ 3 to < 18 years old. The accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of the analysis were >0.97 when referential and combination EEG montages were used, and < 0.97 with a bipolar montage. The correct classification of background activity in individual patients was significantly better with a referential montage than with a bipolar montage (p=0.0107). Receiver operating characteristic curves yielded an area under the curve > 0.99, indicating high performance of the classification method. EEG patterns that interfered with correct classification included vertex sharp transients, sleep spindles, alpha rhythm, and low-amplitude ill-formed spikes in a run. Our results demonstrate that AI is a promising tool for automatically interpreting pediatric EEGs. Some avenues for improving the technique were also indicated by our findings.
