The firing by North Korea on Yeonpyeong Island dealt an unprecedented blow to the national mood. Following the June 15, 2000 declaration by Kim Dae Jung and Kim Jong Il, the feeling that no state of war existed between North and South gripped the people of South Korea. But now, islanders and milita...

To commercialize supersonic and hypersonic passenger aircraft and reusable spaceplanes, we are developing a small-scale supersonic flight experiment vehicle as a flying testbed for technical demonstrations in high-speed flight environments. This experiment vehicle is equipped with a fuel tank and an...

This study aimed to clarify the menstrual experiences and perceptions of women with visual impairments in Japan. An anonymous web-based questionnaire consisting of both multiple-choice (quantitative) and open-ended (qualitative) questions was administered to female Riryouka Kyouin (visually impaired...

We consider Onsager’s non-equilibrium thermodynamics from the perspective of the gradient flow in information geometry. Assuming Onsager’s reciprocal relations, we can regard his phenomenological equations as gradient-flow equations and develop two different gradient-flow models. We consider their f...

Introduction: Percutaneous retrieval of foreign bodies (PRFB) requires effective grasping of the foreign body and its safe removal through the sheath, a process that can be challenging. While both single loop and multi loop snare retrieval methods are available, no standard PRFB method has been esta...

Electromyography (EMG) signals have diverse applications, ranging from prosthetic hands and assistive suits to rehabilitation devices. Nonetheless, their performance suffers from cross-subject generalization issues, electrode shifts, and daily variability. In a previous study, while transfer learnin...

Flow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a technique that allows the measurement of internal flow velocity fields with little interference, but its clinical application is still limited. Through computer simulations of the flow MRI based on the magnetization motion with flow transport, the MRI imagi...

Large landslides, triggered by torrential rain or earthquakes, can slide down mountainous slopes and block river channels at the lower end of the slopes. In cases where the landslide volume is relatively small compared to the river discharge, or when the distance between the landslide slope and the...

We report a case of a partial rupture of the distal biceps tendon that was surgically treated using a palmaris longus tendon graft. A 58-year-old man complained of increasing pain with resisted elbow flexion and supination in the antecubital fossa. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed the irregularit...

De 1924 a 1962 o Brasil utilizou a internação compulsória de pacientes de hanseníase como controle da doença na comunidade. Com o final dessa política, muitos pacientes continuaram a viver nessas unidades. O Asilo Pirapitingui, hoje Hospital Dr. Francisco Ribeiro Arantes, é a única retaguarda asilar...

This paper presents a novel method, Histogram of Angles in Linked Features (HALF), designed for the segmentation of 3D point cloud data of plants for robust sensing. The proposed method leverages local angular features extracted from 3D measurements obtained via sensing technologies such as laser sc...
