Times Cited Count：1 Percentile：10.6(Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence)To meet the demands of an aging society, research on intelligent/robotic wheelchairs have been receiving a lot of attention. In elderly care facilities, care workers are required to communicate with the elderly in order to maintain both their mental and physical health. While this is regarded as important, having a conversation with someone on a wheelchair while pushing it from behind in a traditional setting would interfere with their smooth and natural conversation. So we are developing a robotic wheelchair system which allows companions and wheelchair users to move in a natural formation. This paper reports on an investigation to learn the patterns of human behavior when the wheelchair users and their companions communicate while walking together. The ethnographic observation reveals a natural formation of positioning for both companions and wheelchair users. Based on this investigation, we propose a multiple robotic wheelchair system which can maintain desirable formations for communication between wheelchairs.

We performed investigation of a fault with thick and clay-altered damaged zone in granitic rock using cosmic ray muons at the Mizunami Underground Research Laboratory. Geology of the Laboratory consists of sedimentary rock and underlying granite with unconformable contact at the 170 meters below ground level (G.L.). A vertical fault with a thick, clay-altered damaged zone is present in the granite. The muon telescopes were settled at the G.L.-200 and -300 meters to estimate densities of granite and fault. Densities of granite, fault and sedimentary rock are calculated as 3.38, 2.88 and 1.99 g/cm
, respectively. The obtained density is obviously higher than absolute value, though the reason of such difference is not clear at the moment. If the density of granite is assumed to be 2.6 g/cm, then the densities of fault and sedimentary rock are re-calculated as 2.2 and 1.5 g/cm. This result indicates that cosmic ray muons have good potential to detect geological structure.

(BV) by phycocyanobilin:ferredoxin oxidoreductase (PcyA) via two steps of two-proton-coupled two-electron reduction. We determined the neutron structure of PcyA from cyanobacteria complexed with BV, revealing the exact location of the hydrogen atoms involved in catalysis. Notably, approximately half of the BV bound to PcyA was BVH
, a state in which all four pyrrole nitrogen atoms were protonated. The protonation states of BV complemented the protonation of adjacent Asp105. The "axial "water molecule that interacts with the neutral pyrrole nitrogen of the A-ring was identified. His88 N
was protonated to form a hydrogen bond with the lactam O atom of the BV A-ring. His88 and His74 were linked by hydrogen bonds via H
O. These results imply that Asp105, His88, and the axial water molecule contribute to proton transfer during PcyA catalysis.

Malaria is the major cause of mortality and morbidity in the tropical and subtropical regions in the world. Our previous studies have shown that a series of partial peptides of a Plasmodium falciparum enolase have antigenic reactivity against patients' sera. In this paper, we wish to report nano-encapsulation of a synthetic antigen into bioabsorbable polymer particles and their releasing studies in vitro and in vivo.

crystal utilizing a noncollinear phase matching scheme. The relative bandwidth of the generated MIR pulse has been measured to be 23 % to the central frequency, the broadest in DFM-based MIR sources reported so far. It is found that the type-I crystal can give broader phase matching range of spectrum than the type-II crystal within this scheme.

Times Cited Count：6 Percentile：31.21(Optics)A demonstration of coherent quantum control for ultrafast precise selection of closely-lying states is reported. A phase-locked pair of femtosecond laser pulses is generated through a pulse shaper to excite the ground-state cesium atom to the Cs(7) and Cs(7) states by two-photon absorption. The excited state population is measured by detecting fluorescence from each spin-orbit state. By controlling the phase-difference of the pulse pair, an ultrafast precise selection is accomplished. The contrast ratio of the maximal to minimal selection ratio exceeds 10
with the delay less than 400 fs.

Times Cited Count：6 Percentile：18.77(Chemistry, Physical)Optimal laser control for ultrafast selection of closely-lying excited states, whose energy separation is smaller than the laser bandwidth, is reported on the two-photon transition of atomic cesium; Cs(6S 
7D
, J = 5/2 and 3/2). Selective excitation was carried out by pulse shaping of ultrashort laser pulses which were adaptively modulated in a closed-loop learning system handling eight parameters representing the electric field. Two-color fluorescence from the respective excited states was monitored to measure the selectivity. The fitness used in the learning algorithm was evaluated from the ratio of the fluorescence yield. After fifty generations, a pair of nearly transform-limitted pulses were obtained as an optimal pulse shape, proving the effectiveness of "Ramsey fringes" mechanism. The contrast of the selection ratio was improved by 
30 % from the simple "Ramsey fringes" experiment.

Selective excitation to the closely lying state of potassiium atoms were examined as a fundamental research of a new laser-isotope-separation technique. Using time-resolved photon counting to measure the fluorescence intensity, the scatterd light from the pump beam and the fluorescence of interest were perfectly distinguished. Owing to this experimental setup, a high contrast more than 1000 was obtained for the selectivity. In addition, the excitation behavior when the laser intensity increased was recorded through the laser power dependence of the fluorescence intensity. As a result, it is found that the destructive interference between two excited states becomes incomplete with increasing laser power. Moreover, the relative population of the two states exhibit the power dependence expected by a computer simulation, indicating that the laser power required for the selective complete excitation is achieved.
