In the online version of the EM algorithm introduced by Sato and Ishii ( 2000 ), a time-dependent discount factor is introduced for forgetting the effect of the old estimated values obtained with an earlier, inaccurate estimator. In their approach, forgetting is uniformly applied to the estimators of each mixture component depending exclusively on time, irrespective of the weight attributed to ...

The neurosecretory system which is considered to have an effect, directly or indirectly, on avian gonadal growth has been extensively investigated in various species (see Ishii and Kobayashi, 1962; Farner et al., 1964). More recently, the neurosecretory materials in the anterior median eminence and in the pars nervosa of the Japanese quail under various photoperiodic conditions have been studie...

Previous studies of contracting muscle with low loading and partial vascular occlusion demonstrated hypertrophy and strength adaptations similar to and exceeding those observed with traditional moderate to high resistance (Shinohara M, Kouzaki M, Yoshihisa T, and Fukunaga T. Eur J Physiol 77: 189-191, 1998; Takarada Y, Takazawa H, Sato Y, Takebayashi S, Tanaka Y, and Ishii N. J Appl Physiol 88:...

We characterize two-dimensional semi-log canonical hypersurfaces in arbitrary characteristic from the viewpoint of initial term defining equation. As an application, we prove a conjecture about uniform bound divisors computing minimal log discrepancies for varieties, which is by Ishii and also special case Mustaţă–Nakamura.
