System of systems engineering technology describes the possibility of ill-defined (autonomous or hierarchically connected) dynamic control system design that includes human decision making in unpredicted (unforeseen) control situations. Kansei/Affective Engineering technology and its toolkit include qualitative description of human being emotion, instinct and intuition that are used effectively...

Currently licensed vaccines against the influenza A virus (IAV) need to be updated annually to match the constantly evolving antigenicity of the influenza virus glycoproteins, hemagglutinin (HA), and neuramidiase (NA). Attempts to develop universal vaccines that provide broad protection have resulted in some success. Herein, we have shown that a replication-deficient adenovirus expressing H5/M2...

When humans rotate their wrist in flexion-extension, radial-ulnar deviation, and combinations, the resulting paths (like the path of a laser pointer on a screen) exhibit a distinctive pattern of curvature. In this report we show that the passive stiffness of the wrist is sufficient to account for this pattern. Simulating the dynamics of wrist rotations using a demonstrably realistic model under...

The Japan National Committee for the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) and UICC - Asia Regional Office organized an international session as part of the 74th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Cancer Association on the topic "What are the implications of sharing the concept of Universal Health Coverage for cancer in Asia?" Universal Health Coverage (UHC) is included in the United Nation...

In this work, an AI-Driven (autonomous) model representation of the La Rance tidal barrage was developed using novel parametrisation and Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) techniques. Our results were validated with experimental measurements, yielding first Tidal Range Structure (TRS) against a constructed made available to academics. order proper Rance, methodologies for simulating (i) turbines...

Microgrids have emerged as a practical solution to improve the power system resilience against unpredicted failures and outages. offer substantial benefits for customers through local supply of domestic demands well reducing curtailment during possible disruptions. Furthermore, interdependency natural gas networks is key factor in energy systems’ critical hours. This paper suggests probabilisti...
