Do tone duration changes that elicit the mismatch negativity also affect the preceding middle latency responses?

Yusuke Osakabe, Tetsuya Shiga, Hiroshi Hoshino, Kazuko Kanno, more

European Journal of Neuroscience > 51 > 11 > 2270 - 2276

The human brain can automatically detect sound changes. Previous studies have reported that rare sounds presented within a sequence of repetitive sounds elicit the mismatch negativity (MMN) in the absence of attention in the latency range of 100–250 ms. On the other hand, a previous study discovered that occasional changes in sound location enhance the middle latency response (MLR) elicited in the...

Feasibility Study of Digital Community through Virtual Enterprise Network

Kikuko Harada, Hiroshi Hoshino

Lecture Notes in Computer Science > Digital Cities II: Computational and Sociological Approaches > Urbana-Champaign > 152-163

A Digital Community emerges from a virtually created network community and is expected to change according to the needs of real human community. An ideal digital community is built on harmonized relations between virtual and real communities, and should be a common place for which its participants feel both ownership and liability. Japan Network of Virtual Companies (JNVC) is a simulated business...

Impacts of age on plasma monoamine metabolite concentrations in a large cohort of healthy individuals

Emi Soda, Itaru Miura, Hiroshi Hoshino, Keiko Kanno-Nozaki, more

Psychiatry Research > 2014 > 220 > 1-2 > 639-645

The measurement of plasma concentrations of monoamine metabolites is a useful method for inferring the dynamics of monoamine metabolites in the brain. To clarify effects of age and sex on plasma monoamine metabolites levels, we used high-performance liquid chromatography to measure plasma levels of homovanillic acid (HVA), free and total 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol (MHPG), and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic...

Experimental Verification of Active Front Steering Based on Driver‐Friendly Reaction Torque Control

Ryo Minaki, Hiroshi Hoshino, Yoichi Hori

Electronics and Communications in Japan > 97 > 8 > 1 - 13

In recent years the demand for safer vehicles has increased. Active front steering (AFS) is an effective technology for stabilizing motion control after the detection of dangerous motion in a vehicle such as slip. However, if AFS intervenes excessively during the steering process, it becomes difficult to prevent interference between driver steering and AFS automatic steering. Therefore, at present...

Anti-fatigue effect of dicethiamine hydrochloride is likely associated with excellent absorbability and high transformability in tissues as a vitamin B1

Toshikatsu Shimizu, Hiroshi Hoshino, Shugo Nishi, Satoshi Nozaki, more

European Journal of Pharmacology > 2010 > 635 > 1-3 > 117-123

The anti-fatigue effect of dicethiamine hydrochloride (DCET) was assessed and compared to that of thiamine hydrochloride (VB ₁ HCl) in rats. The absorbability and tissue distribution of thiamine after oral administration of DCET and VB ₁ HCl were also examined. To create fatigued animals, male SD rats were placed in plastic cages containing 1.5cm of water for 5 consecutive days. The...

Competition and Collaboration among Container Ports

Hiroshi Hoshino

The Asian Journal of Shipping and Logistics > 2010 > 26 > 1 > 31-47

The development of new ports in China and the enhancement of port facilities in Korea will force major Japanese ports, which were the region's hub ports until the 1980s, to become local feeder ports for entry into East Asia. To consider the integration of cargo flow and liner networks, such Japanese ports need to collaborate with each other rather than compete with neighboring ports on an individual...

Kenoki Ohuchida, Hajime Kenmotsu, Atsuyuki Yamamoto, Kazuya Sawada, more

International Journal of Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery > 2009 > 4 > 2 > 125-132

Background Laparoscopic surgeons require extended experience of cases to overcome the lack of depth perception on a two-dimensional (2D) display. Although a three-dimensional (3D) display was reported to be useful over two decades ago, 3D systems have not been widely used. Recently, we developed a novel 3D dome-shaped display (3DD) system, CyberDome. Study design In the present study, a total of...

Enantioselective synthesis of aurisides A and B, cytotoxic macrolide glycosides of marine origin

Kiyotake Suenaga, Hiroshi Hoshino, Takanori Yoshii, Kazunori Mori, more

Tetrahedron > 2006 > 62 > 33 > 7687-7698

The enantioselective synthesis of aurisides A and B, macrolide glycosides of marine origin, was achieved by a convergent approach. The C1–C9 segment 4 was prepared from (R)-pantolactone, and the C10–C17 segment 14 was synthesized from (R)-glycidyl trityl ether. The Nozaki–Hiyama–Kishi reaction between 4 and 14 and subsequent reactions gave seco acid 10, which was converted into the aglycon (3) of...
