We propose a room temperature, all electrical driving and detecting, very sensitive bolometer using a doubly clamped microelectromechanical (MEMS) resonator, which can be excited and detected by using piezoelectric effect. The device detects the shift in the resonance frequency caused by heating and works as a very sensitive bolometer. The preliminary device showed a frequency responsivity about 100...
We give an introduction to mirror symmetry of strings on Calabi-Yau manifolds with an emphasis on its applications e.g. for the computation of Yukawa couplings. We introduce all necessary concepts and tools such as the basics of toric geometry, resolution of singularities, construction of mirror pairs, Picard-Fuchs equations, etc. and illustrate all of this on a non-trivial example.
‘Cloud computing’ enables system integrators to develop business platforms from existing system by combining software and hardware functions provided by virtualized servers and resources. This functional substitution is the essence of cloud computing and it is the embodiment of the concept of Product-Service Systems in the IT industry. Bearing this in mind, this paper proposes design methods for cloud-based...
The IT industry traditionally offers system services to user companies. The services which integrate software and hardware products are geared toward product-based business models. However, with the emergence of cloud computing, users' in-house systems and applications are virtualized on the net, and are replaced with ones provided through outsourcing services. The alternative systems will be combinations...
Heat shock protein, denoted by HSP throughout this paper for the simplicity, is one of the families of proteins which plays an important role to keep the normal activity of a cell. Actually, when a cell is given a stress by heat, metal ion, alcohol and so on, HSP is synthesized a lot to keep the life of a cell from such stress. In this paper, we pay attention to the biochemical reaction of HSP synthesis...
The purpose of this article is to introduce the system that analyzes external business environment utilizing RSS or web news. The proposed system will visualize positioning of companies in an industry. The positioning analysis shows the company priority issues in changing market. Conventionally, such information is collected and regenerated manually by analysts. Our technique retrieves RSS or web...
In today's fast and ever changing business environments, it is very important to quickly adapt business processes to new business requirements, and to optimize their performance. From this viewpoint, business process performance prediction plays a key role in directing the business. Previous studies have shown that a network queuing model is able to predict the business process performance. In order...
We extend the discussion of mirror symmetry, Picard-Fuchs equations, instanton corrected Yukawa couplings and the topological one-loop partition function to the case of complete intersections with higher dimensional moduli spaces. We will develop a new method of obtaining the instanton corrected Yukawa couplings through a study of the solutions of the Picard-Fuchs equations. This leads to closed...
