In addition, architectural issues are discussed, including protocol architectures on...
The WRC-07 decisions have paved the way toward development of IMT-advanced by identifying a 200-MHz contiguous spectrum above 3 GHz for number countries. It is also noted that early implementation there are technical subjects to be studied and solved, in particular compatible operation with other systems sharing same frequency bands. For standardization activities, global cooperation between ITU-R organizations required.
AbstractThe taxonomy of Pseudolachnea and Pseudolachnella is controversial. Some authors have regarded them as congeneric, whereas others considered to be distinct genera differentiated merely on the number conidial septa. A total 26 isolates Pseudolachnea-like fungi were subjected morphological examination phylogenetic analyses nuc rDNA internal transcribed spacers 1 2 partial 28S sequences sequence translation elongation factor 1α gene. The results indicated that our materials should...

Besides voice, a new range services such as multimedia, high-speed data, etc. being offered for delivery over wireless networks. Mobility will seamless, realizing concept persons contact anywhere, at any time. Two developments likely have substantial impact on mobile systems deployed twenty-first century: adoption International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 and asynchronous transfer (ATM)....
This paper proposes an ATM wireless access system (AWA) for tetherless multimedia services. The AWA provides ATM-based high speed transmission capability services both indoors and outdoors though mobility is limited compared with current cellular systems. describes the concept of AWA, its network protocol architecture as well design.
Abstract Background At present, the da Vinci ® surgical robot system does not provide haptic feedback. One of authors has proposed a contact‐force sensing method called ‘overcoat method’, in which instrument/driver is supported by force sensors. In robot, instrument jaws are powered wire‐pulley mechanism; thus, order to apply overcoat system, we must transfer power through frame that Methods The have attempted add force‐sensor function Sterile Adapter system. developing sensorized adapter,...
This article discusses the prospect of free- space optical links (FSOLs) in relation to backhaul applications as well its technology trend, including recent development radio on free-space (RoFSOLs). Here, we consider how FSOLs act useful transport media, focusing practical experience mobile networks. We refer studies FSOL conducted by International Telecommunications Union (ITU) from viewpoint possible exploitation frequency bands above 3,000 GHz, which are outside scope current Radio Regulations.
Lifestyle-related diseases can be reduced by making daily dietary choices. Functional components in foods have the potential to provide benefits this regard. We constructed a knowledge graph that connects functional of recipes, and developed recommendation system suggest dishes may help alleviate lifestyle-related diseases. As requirements vary widely depending on specific individual conditions, these are combined form vast probability distribution. Our proposed uses probabilistic logic...
Changes in the composition and crystal structure of micro-grains have been studied using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis order to clarify phase formation ferroelectric SrBi 2 Ta O 9 (SBT) with heat-treatment at 650–750°C. Micrograins crystallized 650°C begin change bismuth-layer-structure-family (BLSF) grains temperatures exceeding 700°C, form pure-BLSF 800°C. Hence, a micrograins exists thin films 650–750°C we determined that bismuth these...
The tetrafluoroborate salt of bis{8-(diphenylphosphino)quinoline}copper(I), [Cu(Ph(2)Pqn)(2)]BF(4), afforded orange prismatic (2O) or yellow columnar (2Y) crystals, dependent on the solvent and concentration recrystallization solution used. X-ray analysis revealed that crystals 2O 2Y had same composition exhibited different crystal systems: was triclinic, with space group P ̅1 Z = 2, monoclinic P2(1)/c 4. In these tetrahedral copper(I) complex a strong "rocking distortion" toward trigonal...
We studied the role of excess Bi, added to improve ferroelectirc properties SrBi 2 Ta O 9 (SBT) thin film whose Bi-layered structure is fatigue-free characteristics for Nonvolatile memory. The lost Bi by annealing process was not observed even after at 850° C in chemical liquid deposition (mixed alkoxide solution system). In SBT films composed fluorite and grains, grains had a higher content than that grains. Excess promote crystallization easy. close stoichimometric composition formed...
JAMSTEC (Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology) MHI (Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd.) have been developing the AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) "Urashima" since 1998. Long-distance cruising AUVs generally need an AIP (Air Independent Propulsion) power source characterized by high-energy density efficiency. Fuel cells are preferred small underwater vehicles PEFC (Polymer Electrolyte Cell) adopted "Urashima". It is understood that one of main themes with fuel cell storing...

Plants convert solar energy into chemical through photosynthesis, which supports almost all life activities on earth. Because the intensity and quality of sunlight can change dramatically throughout day, various regulatory mechanisms help plants adjust their photosynthetic output accordingly, including regulation light accumulation to prevent generation damaging reactive oxygen species. Non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) is a mechanism that dissipates excess energy, but how it regulated not...
