Conceptualizing Prenatal Care: Recent Research and the Application of Tae-Kyo, Korean Traditional Beliefs and Practices
No full textThe value of prenatal care has long been recognized by various cultures. The author\u27s purpose in this article is to propose a framework to conceptualize prenatal care using the traditional Korean practice of prenatal care called Tae-Kyo, which means education for the fetus. The philosophy of Tae-Kyo shows the importance of children\u27s development from the very beginning of life and indicates the moral and social responsibilities of pregnant women, family members, and communities in delivering healthy babies. This comprehensive view implies a framework for conceptualizing prenatal care that encompasses multidimensional aspects of prenatal care. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER
Multiuser Differential-Phase-Shift Quantum Key Distribution System on a Ring Network
No full textInoue K., Honjo T.. Multiuser Differential-Phase-Shift Quantum Key Distribution System on a Ring Network. IEEE Photonics Technology Letters 36, 989 (2024); https://doi.org/10.1109/LPT.2024.3424432.Quantum key distribution (QKD) has been studied, which is basically a point-to-point system. Therefore, when constructing a QKD network in which any pair of multiple users shares a secret key, full-mesh connections equipping each user with a transmitter and a receiver must be installed. This study presents a QKD system based on the differential-phase-shift QKD protocol, which accommodates multiusers on one transmission line. The proposed system uses a ring network connecting multiple nodes, in which one node is equipped with a transmitter and a receiver and the other nodes are with phase-modulation circuits. The system performance is evaluated and the results indicate that a 100-km ring network can support up to seven nodes
Urban landscape of Okazaki in Kyoto
No full textKyoto has been the capital of Japan from 794 until when the capital has moved in 1868 to Tokyo with the end of Tokugawa Shoguns and the beginning of the Meiji Restoration. The loss of the seat of government was a shock to citizens of Kyoto as the city had been the Imperial and Cultural center of the nation for over 1.000 years. The combination of the court and the great temples had enlivened and enriched the life of the city. At the beginning of the founding of the capital, in the Heian period (794-1185) to east of Kyoto, was built a noble and religious place. This area is Okazaki. Here the Emperor Kammu (736-805) had created the city of Heian-kyo (Kyoto) in 794. This area was full of Temples and Shrines. Only in the Edo period (1603-1867) Okazaki area assumed the role of suburban agricultural zone which provided the food production to the urban habitants. But after the Meiji Restoration (1868-1912), the role of Okazaki area changes completely. In 1885, Kyoto prefecture started the great public canalization project as the water supply between Kyoto and Otsu of Shiga prefecture. Kyoto prefecture also planed the industrial district construction in Okazaki area. From the late nineteenth century Okazaki area became a symbol of the modernization of Kyoto city. This contribution intends to analyze the urban landscape composed of the different styles of architecture especially constructed after the Meiji period (1868-1912). Tangible and intangible signs remained as modern gardens, significant museums and cultural institutions among the ancient temples provide opportunities to reflect on the important role of suburban area of the historic city. These studies are supported by archival documents and by current measures and policies for landscape conservation by Kyoto Municipality
Kyo Kageura. The Dynamics of Terminology: A Descriptive Theory of Term Formation and Terminological Growth.
No full textThis monograph was issued as Volume 5 in the series Terminology and Lexicography Research and Practice, edited by Marie-Claude L'Homme and Ulrich Heid and assisted by Juan C. Sager as Consulting Editor. The Japanese author, Kyo Kageura, does research work at the National Institute of Informatics in Tokyo. His theoretical background and methodological experience in term formation patterns and processes were influenced by intensive cooperation with European terminologists since the 1990s, notably the British linguists Juan C. Sager (Manchester, UMIST) and Yorick Wilks (Sheffield), and R. Harald Baayan in the Netherlands
Application of deep learning for predicting schedules in real-time systems
No full textHard real-time systems are often used in safety critical systems: a task missing a deadline can be catastrophic for the system and endanger human lives. To guarantee that it meets every deadline, hard real-time systems are designed to have deterministic behavior. However, such determinism is prone to timing inference attacks. Using an analytical approach, an inference attack can be launched with a priori knowledge about the task-set. However, the advancements in deep learning opens new methods that can be used to carry out such attacks. We believe that the current state of machine learning algorithms is powerful enough to launch the attack without the complete a priori knowledge.
Therefore, we propose a novel architecture that will accurately predict future occurrences of target tasks in systems using real-time scheduling algorithms. We intend to use minimal information, for instance by observing only the sequences of busy intervals and rest intervals. The architecture will: infer size of the task-set, map tasks to each time steps of busy intervals and predict future task execution.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2020-05-01The student, Kyo Hyun Kim, accepted the attached license on 2018-04-24 at 18:16.The student, Kyo Hyun Kim, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2018-04-24 at 18:25.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2018-04-25 at 15:30.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #12463 on 2018-08-31 at 17:30:23Made available in DSpace on 2018-09-04T20:47:30Z (GMT).
