[16th Asian Regional Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering] 14(Mon.)-18(Fri.) October, 2019: Taipei International Convention Center (TICC), Taipei, Taiwan / Burial mounds constructed more than 1300 years ago in Japan have been seriously damaged by earthquakes. The development of prevention measures for seismic damage of burial m...
Hydraulic fracturing plays a vital role in the development of unconventional energy resources, such as shale gas/oil and enhanced geothermal systems to increase the permeability of tight rocks. In this study, we conducted hydraulic fracturing experiments in a laboratory using carbonate-rich outcrop samples of Eagle Ford shale from the United States...
P4-ATPases, a subfamily of P-type ATPases, translocate cell membrane phospholipids from the exoplasmic/luminal leaflet to the cytoplasmic leaflet to generate and maintain membrane lipid asymmetry. Exposure of phosphatidylserine (PS) in the exoplasmic leaflet is well known to transduce critical signals for apoptotic cell clearance and platelet coagu...
Wide-bandgap oxide semiconductors have received significant attention as they can produce devices with high output and breakdown voltage. p-Type conductivity control is essential to realize bipolar devices. Therefore, as a rare wide-bandgap p-type oxide semiconductor, NiO (3.7 eV) has garnered considerable attention. In view of the heterojunction d...
[2019 16th IEEE Annual Consumer Communications & Networking Conference (CCNC)] 11-14 January 2019: Las Vegas, NV, USA, 2019 / More and more IoT services are introduced in home, and they will consume many network resources in home networks including an uplink to the Internet, but the resources are sometimes insufficient to host all services. Traditi...
脳内地図を細胞レベルで観察 --自閉症関連遺伝子Shank2はランドマーク情報に必須--. 京都大学プレスリリース. 2020-07-09. / In the hippocampus, locations associated with salient features are represented by a disproportionately large number of neurons, but the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying this over-representation remain elusive. Using longitudinal calcium imaging in mice learning to ...
Tungsten carbide thin films are used as wear-resistant coatings. For such applications, it is industrially advantageous to form high-quality thin films on substrates with large areas or complex shapes under atmospheric pressure. Herein, we investigated the feasibility of forming tungsten carbide thin films using a mist chemical vapor deposition met...
Noise sources are ubiquitous in Nature and give rise to a description of quantum systems in terms of stochastic Hamiltonians. Decoherence dominates the noise-averaged dynamics and leads to dephasing and the decay of coherences in the eigenbasis of the fluctuating operator. For energy-diffusion processes stemming from fluctuations of the system Hami...
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are the current state of the art systems in image semantic segmentation (SS). However, because it requires a large computational cost, it is not suitable for running on embedded devices, such as on rice combine harvesters. In order to detect and identify the surrounding environment for a rice combine harvester i...
We argue that corner contributions in gravity action (Hayward term) capture the essence of gravity edge modes, which lead to gravitational area entropies, such as the black hole entropy and holographic entanglement entropy. We explain how the Hayward term and the corresponding edge modes in gravity are explained by holography from two different vie...
