Aim
The purpose of this work was to identify and genetically characterize enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) and enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) O80:H2 from diarrhoeic and septicaemic calves in Belgium and to comparing them with human EHEC after whole genome sequencing.
Methods and Results
Ten EHEC and 21 EPEC O80 identified by PCR between 2009 and 2018 from faeces, intestinal content and...
For solving the “Digital divide” problem and developing a system which understands human, the data mining technology is being developed. Moreover, within the concept of Kukanchi, the system can not only collect information, but also provide service to user. In this paper, the authors show two experiments which constructed based on “Kukanchi”. These Kukanchi systems include both techniques of action...
To investigate influences of inconsistency on forms of information presentation by robots, a psychological experiment was conducted in Japan, with between-subject design for forty five university students. In the experiment, a small-sized humanoid robot performed self-introduction with polite/impolite postures and polite/impolite phrases in the utterances, in the Japanese cultural sense. The results...
Service value is successfully created when customers enjoy the benefits of services provided through the channels of a service system. This paper is focused on the process of value creation in the service industry by focusing on the shift of service value created in actual service enterprises. The proposed model for describing this shift visualizes the shift of service value, composed of the "place...
We propose a hierarchical display method for small devices based on saliency. This method displays a large scale image in a small screen of a small mobile device as a mobile phone. In this method a region of interest (ROI) is detected using a saliency model. The region is successively detected hierarchically to produce a tree structure of ROI. Then we calculate the increasing rate of saliency in each...
The impact of extensively usage visual display terminal (VDT) on automatic nervous system are observed and analyzed based on physiological information, i.e., electroencephalogram (EEG), heart rate variability (HRV) and thermograph. Two types of experiment which have different intermittent schedule were conducted using the Kraepelin psycho diagnostic test. The purpose is to determine the given task...
