In this paper, we propose a method for supporting risk communications that uses collaborative learning. Using collaborative learning, participants in risk communications (e.g., stakeholders, decision makers, and experts) can not only acquire desired information, but also ascertain the intentions and knowledge of other parties with different concerns. In the process of collaborative learning, the participants...
This presentation illustrates social welfare andelderly care system and issues in three countries, Japan, Norway, and the United States, and discuss how to solve social problemsby using civic technologies.
I have been engaged in information science education for the training of medical technologists at a medical technology college. Up to the present, information science has not always been regarded as an indispensable part of the education of paramedics in Japan. However, along with the recent progress and technological advances in medical test equipment, as well as the promotion of electronic medical...
For REDD+ (Reduction of Emission from Deforestation and forest Degradation) and the Kyoto Protocol, the methodology for a wide range in a short time forest measurement, high-resolution measurement, LiDAR (Lightning Detection and Ranging) will be a powerful tool. In this study, the interpolation method, low-pass filtering, Local Maximum Filter method, and Watershed method were used to estimate the...
The e-learning system become one of main important tool in current educations, and several types of systems are proposed or developed on commercial or non-commercial base. Some of them are still remained at the level of only displaying materials and giving tests on them. There are off course some user oriented systems proposed by researchers where learners' skill or educational experiences are considered...
Students who are not good programming made media art for workshop for children. It was difficult for them to complete it. So, I developed framework in Processing to support and simplify programming. This framework introduced features to simplify. These features are the one for control movement of images. Consequently, All of the student team was completed the work. Therefore introducing features was...
Earth sciences and space exploration instrument sensors are getting improved with each iteration providing us with bigger and more detailed sets of data. Though current available archiving and processing mechanisms are able to cope with current rates, forecasted enormous rates of data to be transmitted on a daily basis by each of the different instruments to be available on the near future make imperative...
Ensuring that customers are continuously satisfied is an ongoing issue facing every company. Customer satisfaction is an indicator that is broadly utilized to improve goods/services for customer retention. Because information and communication technology (ICT) is developing rapidly in every field, companies should identify changes in customer perceptions or underlying dissatisfaction related to ICT...
Time series data analyze and prediction is very important to the study of nonlinear phenomenon. Studies of time series prediction have a long history since last century, linear models such as autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model, and nonlinear models such as multi-layer perceptron (MLP) are well-known. As the state-of-art method, a deep belief net (DBN) using multiple Restricted...
There are some recommendation sites for many popular amusement parks. It is difficult for visitors to find the best way of moving about with enjoyment, excitement and relaxation. Our research is to model to find an optimal routing of amusement parks with fast pass constraint.
We developed a new spatial navigation system for medical informatics by interactive superimposing 3-D hologram and 3D printing technology. Interactive stereo display was used for the existence of an interaction between the users and stereo images of the patient's anatomy depicted on the display in the form of tracking the user's head and hand/arm position. Sensing the user's head position created...
Mobile learning is part of the future of digital education. We provide a platform with unique features to sustain the continuous learning, improve the ownership, the pace of use to make it a habit and recreating a link with other users in social learning.
The author coordinated a short movie-making project to introduce the good characteristics of Akita. The project aimed to develop the "Fundamental Competencies for Working Persons" proposed by the Ministry of Economy in 2006. There were 26 participants: 17 foreign students and 9 Japanese students. They were divided into five groups consisting of foreign and Japanese members. This paper examines...
The juggling is a one of physical skills involving the manipulation of objects for recreation, entertainment, art, or sport. In our research, we focus on the toss juggling. Our research is a mathematical modeling for optimal ordering for toss juggling.
In the information society, and utilizing ICT(Information and Communication Technology), it has become possible to deploy a new business model. In the use of the financial business ICT, companies rather than funding from traditional financial institutions such as banks and securities companies, it has become possible to raise funds from individuals of the general public. One of the new forms of financing...
In the European and American advanced, it's being common sense to develop software offshore at a developing country in Asia. Since putting it in our country, but English operational capability is being short, is developing it dilatorily offshore and isn't advancing. The foreigner student studying abroad who will learn at a university in our country later is the session of information processing when...
The statistical test rule induction method (STRIM) has been proposed as a method for effectively inducing if-then rules from a decision table. Its usefulness has been confirmed by a simulation experiment and comparison with conventional methods. However, real-world datasets often contain missing and contaminated values. This issue has been examined and addressed by various conventional methods. This...
