Design Automation of Polyomino Set That Self-Assembles into a Desired Shape
No full textThe problem of finding the smallest DNA tile set that self-assembles into a desired pattern or shape is a research focus that has been investigated by many researchers. In this paper, we take a polyomino, which is a non-square element composed of several connected square units, as an element of assembly and consider the design problem of the minimal set of polyominoes that self-assembles into a desired shape. We developed a self-assembly simulator of polyominoes based on the agent-based Monte Carlo method, in which the potential energy among the polyominoes is evaluated and the simulation state is updated toward the direction to decrease the total potential. Aggregated polyominoes are represented as an agent, which can move, merge, and split during the simulation. In order to search the minimal set of polyominoes, two-step evaluation strategy is adopted, because of enormous search space including many parameters such as the shape, the size, and the glue types attached to the polyominoes. The feasibility of the proposed method is shown through three examples with different size and complexity

In the drawing of the male genitalia by Okada (1977), the dorsal apodeme is not shown, possibly due to improper dissection. The base of the aedeagal shaft of Okada’s drawing is somewhat wider than those of other Japanese specimens including the specimens examined by Webb & Viraktamath (2007). This leafhopper is similar to S. quangtriensis Webb et Viraktamath from Vietnam and the Philippines, but differs in the shape of the apical processes of the aedeagal shaft.Published as part of Kamitani, Satoshi & Hayashi, Masami, 2013, Taxonomic study of the genus Scaphoideus Uhler (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) from Japan, pp. 515-533 in Zootaxa 3750 (5) on pages 522-524, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3750.5.5, http://zenodo.org/record/22152

This new species is very similar to S. kumamotonis Matsumura and S. maai Kitbamroong et Freytag in habitus, but it is easily distinguishable from the latter by the structure of male genitalia: narrow processes of connective, large style and aedeagus with apical processes directed ventrally. The species name is derived from the locality of the types.Published as part of Kamitani, Satoshi & Hayashi, Masami, 2013, Taxonomic study of the genus Scaphoideus Uhler (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) from Japan, pp. 515-533 in Zootaxa 3750 (5) on pages 518-522, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3750.5.5, http://zenodo.org/record/22152

Surface finishing method using plasma chemical vaporization machining for narrow channel walls of x-ray crystal monochromators
No full textTakashi Hirano, Yuki Morioka, Shotaro Matsumura, Yasuhisa Sano, Taito Osaka, Satoshi Matsuyama, Makina Yabashi, and Kazuto Yamauchi, “Surface Finishing Method Using Plasma Chemical Vaporization Machining for Narrow Channel Walls of X-Ray Crystal Monochromators,” Int. J. Automation Technol., Vol.13, No.2, pp. 246-253, 2019.Channel-cut Si crystals are useful optical devices for providing monochromatic X-ray beams with extreme angular stability. Owing to difficulties in the high-precision surface finishing of narrow-channel inner walls of the crystals, typical channel-cut crystals have considerable residual subsurface crystal damage and/or roughness on their channel-wall reflection surfaces that decrease intensity and distort the wavefronts of the reflected X-rays. This paper proposes a highprecision surface finishing method for the narrowchannel inner walls based on plasma chemical vaporization machining, which is a local etching technique using atmospheric-pressure plasma. Cylinderand nozzle-shaped electrodes were designed for channel widths of more than 5 and 3 mm, respectively. We optimized process conditions for each electrode using commercial Si wafers, and obtained a removal depth of 10 μm with a surface flatness and roughness of less than 1 μm and 1 nmRMS, respectively, which should allow the damaged layers to be fully removed while maintaining the wavefront of coherent X-rays
A successful model of regional healthcare information exchange in Japan: Case Study in Kagawa Prefecture
No full textIn this study, we focused on analysis of healthcare data exchange over the network. For the advance of broadband capability development, many governments expect online medical information exchange between medical institutions. Japanese government also has tried to deploy ICT in the healthcare field. In Japan, many healthcare ICT projects started, but almost of all the projects face many issues and failed to continue. This situation caused us to clarify the success factor of healthcare information exchange network. For inspecting the success factors, we analyzed information access of healthcare systems in Kagawa prefecture of Japan. Kagawa prefecture is one of the most advance areas for healthcare information technology. We analyzed four medical ICT projects in Kagawa prefecture: K-MIX, Critical Pathway for Diabetes, E-prescription, and PHR. In addition, we inspected characteristics of exchanged data in the network, and stakeholder involved in these projects. This analysis lets us find various types of healthcare ICT projects. Characteristic of data processed in the projects caused differences of characteristic of the projects. On the other hand, multiple systems process same data, though the project does not share the data itself. Considering various types of medical information exchanges projects, we propose classification and standard format of exchanged data according to their characteristic are critical for efficient business deployment. --e-Health,regional healthcare information exchange,EHR
