This study statistically examined the industrial cluster structure of four cities in the Tohoku region (Yonezawa, Koriyama, Iwaki, and Aizuwakamatsu) in terms of the relationship between each industry and the total value...

Purpose of this study is to develop a method for accurate capillary area extraction from a captured image using RGB and HSV features. Experiments were conducted with eleven subjects. The proposed method utilizing OpenCV...

Since the year 2000, there has been an increasing visibility of proposals and theoretical research on the importance and necessity of cash flow management in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The purpose of this...

The Mental condition of humans affects sports and intellectual works. In particular, better results can be obtained when high concentration condition is achieved. One of the approaches of concentration improvement is Bio...

In contemporary society, an increasing number of people have excessive stress which affects their physical and mental conditions. As for methods of alleviating stress, listening to music and aromatherapy can be cited. Th...

PVDF is used as a binder in the mixture slurry of lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. More improvement of PVDF has been required along with the paradigm shift performance required for the new battery. However, a simple e...

Recently, along with the declining birthrate and an aging population, labor shortage of nursing care support is recognized as a social problem. Among such social backgrounds, Brain-Computer Interface (BCI), which non-con...

The lightweight technique for automobile is urgently needed to achieve the aim of CO2 emission control. In this paper, the mechanical properties and the interfacial shear strength (IFSS) of carbon fiber reinforced polypr...

This study fabricates 50SiO2・50GeO2 and 50SiO2・(50-x)GeO2・xR2O (R: Na, K, Rb, and Cs, x = 5?40) glasses using the conventional melt-quenching method. Their photoluminescence characteristics were investigated by mea...

Semiconductor integrated circuits use ultra-flat substrates called wafers, in which minute irregularities are eliminated to the utmost limit. To produce such a flat substrate, a polishing technique called chemical mechan...

Introducing alkyl chains into π-conjugated organic molecules is a well-established strategy for tuning solubility, crystallinity, and photophysical properties without significantly perturbing their electronic structures...

Cedar wooden-shingle boards, a traditional Japanese roofing material, are handmade by craftsmen using traditional techniques. Product selection is left primarily to the roofers, whose selection criteria are visual and no...

In order to develop a low cost method for rapidly determining the total amount of polyphenols in many samples, the colorimetric technique combined with the Folin-Chiocalteu (FC) method was investigated by using a digital...

From the moment cellphones first appeared in Japan 30 years ago, their sales have been growing at a dramatic pace. However, Japan's cellphone market is now saturated. It is monopolized by three major cellphone carri...

It has investigated using a Clark-type oxygen electrode and an ESR method that the conformation of thiol-compounds such as cysteine (Cys) and glutathione (GSH) effects on the formation of a nitrosyl(protoporphyrinato)iro...

Currently used methods for selenium quantification include X-ray fluorescence spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma analysis. However, both methods require expensive equipment, specialized knowledge, making them un...

When hair is wet, the cuticles are open, therefore, it is easy to damage the hair through too much use of a regular hair-dryer. In this research, instead of the current type of heat-blow dryer, a new type of hair-dryer w...

In this research, in order to find a high efficiency automated valet parking lot, a multi-story car parking proposed by the authors, possible algorisms of entering and exiting are proposed. And, by combining those algori...

The authors paid attention to paper shredder scrap as biomass and studied bioethanol production from them using marine derived yeasts. We reviewed current production methods, suggested the production method that minimize...

In this study, experiments on milk sales estimation were conducted in two phases to optimize stock ordering. Sales data of two brands of milk between 2007 and 2008 were obtained through 9 stores in Ishikawa Prefecture. I...

The spin-trapping ESR (ST-ESR) method, which observes unstable radicals as stable spin adducts using electron spin resonance (ESR), is an effective experimental method for evaluating chemical reactions involving radical ...

With the growth of the portable device with camera, we can take a variety of photos. In addition, with the higher resolution of the camera, it becomes possible to recognize a character in the scene taken by the camera. T...

Golf clubs mainly consist of three parts, namely head, shaft, and grip. It was in the shaft that composite materials are used most. The shaft plays a role of storing up energy during the swing, by way of deforming itself...
