Based on redox-proteomics analysis, several proteins involved in diverse mitochondrial reactions have be...

This paper focuses on sensitivity of learning mechanisms applied to agents in agent-based simulation and explores criteria for employing such learning mechanisms by comparing simulation results derived from agents who have different learning mechanisms. Specifically, we employ two types of reinforcement learning in this study, Q-learning and Sarsa. Through an analysis of simulation results in a...

Observing cloud and aerosol distributions and their optical and microphysical properties are one of important activities for the global climate change study, since the role of these particles and their interactive responses to the climate system are still in mystery. The Second generation Global Imager (SGLI) aboard the GCOM-C satellite is a follow-on sensor of the Global Imager (GLI) aboard th...

A model for the effects of rain on scatterometer data is proposed. Data from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR) and the SeaWinds scatterometer, both on the Midori-II satellite, are used. The model includes three basic rain effects: attenuation, rain roughening of the sea surface, and volumetric backscatter. Attenuation is calculated directly from the radiometer data and beam fill...

Measurements of global ocean surface winds made by orbiting satellite radars have provided valuable information to the oceanographic and meteorological communities since the launch of the Seasat in 1978, by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). When Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) was launched in 1999, it ushered in a new era of dual-polarized, pencil-beam, higher-resolution ...
