Sarcophagodes duodecima Naya & Mizuno 2021, sp. nov.
No full textSarcophagodes duodecima Naya sp. nov. (LM: Figs 3–18, SEM: Figs 19–35) Description:—In LM, frustule rectangular in girdle view with round corners (Figs 17, 18), attached at valve face by interlocking spines (Fig.17). The larger valves are heteroplar clavate (Figs 4, 5, 7, 9, 10) or isopolar elliptic (Figs 3, 6, 8) and the smaller valves isopolar elliptic (Figs 11–16). Sternum widely lanceolate (Figs 12, 19). Striae alternate and robust (Fig. 12). Length 3–16 µm, width 2.5–3 µm, and striae density 8–10 in 10 µm. In SEM, striae uniseriate, composed of up to three areolae on the valve face and two to four on the mantle (Figs 19–22, 25–30). Areolae apically reniform at the ends of each stria, otherwise rectangular with rounded corners (Figs 20, 25–27, 29), occluded by one or multiple profusely branched volae with stalk-like rod extending from vimines (Figs 21, 26, 27, 30, 35). Marginal spines solid, spatulate (Fig. 19) or conical (Fig. 22), interrupting the striae on the thickened vimen at valve face-mantle junction (Figs 19, 25–30). Apical pore field present at both poles, consisting of multiple round pores present at both poles (Figs 30, 34, 35). Cingulum formed of up to eight wide open copulae (Figs 20, 29, 30). Valvocopula wider than other copulae. Edge of pars interior of valvocopula undulate (Fig. 23). Fringed structure observed at the end of copula (Fig. 21). Mantle plaques present (Figs 20, 29). No rimoportulae. Type:— JAPAN. Higashiomi, Oita Prefecture: Himeshima village, from siliceous silt of the Lower to Middle Pleistocene Karato Formation, sample 180327–2 D3, 33°43′30.0″ N, 131°40′20.1″ E, T. Naya and Y. Horiuchi 27 March 2018 (holotype: slide MPC-44141= Fig. 12, Micropaleontology Collection, National Museum of Nature and Science, Tsukuba, Japan, England Finder M 35/0) Etymology:—Duodecim, Latin = twelfth, after a myth of Himeshima Island, where the type locality is situated. According to the Kojiki, the oldest extant chronicle in Japan (Kurano 1963), Himeshima Island was the twelfth island in the Japanese archipelago to be created. Observation:—The isopolar valves are observed in the entire size range of the species, whereas the heteropolar valves are recognized in only approximately half of the larger valves (>10 µm). However, due to the small proportion of the larger valves, few heteropolar valves occurred in the analyzed samples (Figs 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 23, 30). Vimines are thickened at the valve-face mantle junction (Figs 26–27). Each thickened vimen can be observed as a distinct bar crossing the middle of the stria in internal view under SEM (Figs 24, 32, 33); the vimines are also visible vaguely under LM (Figs 5, 6, 11). A reduced apical pore field is observed at both poles, consisting of multiple round pores. In most specimens, the apical pore field could not be observed in external view, and could be seen only at the foot pole of the heteropolar valve (Fig. 30). Mantle plaques are arranged along the external rim of the mantle (Figs. 20, 29). Distribution and geologic age:—Thus far, S. duodecima has been found at two localities in Japan. The type locality of the species is in the Karato Formation on Himeshima Island, western Japan. The age of these sediments is inferred to be ca. 0.78 Ma. The other locality is in the Lower Pleistocene Bushi Formation in Iruma City, Saitama Prefecture, central Japan (Fig. 1). S. duodecima occurs in the M1 and M2 marine beds in the Bushi Formation (Figs 36–45); the age of these beds is estimated to be 2.5–2.4 Ma (Naya and Mizuno 2020).Published as part of Naya, Tomonori & Mizuno, Kiyohide, 2021, Sarcophagodes duodecima sp. nov., a new small araphid fossil diatom (Bacillariophyceae) from Lower to Middle Pleistocene sediments of Japan, pp. 85-96 in Phytotaxa 505 (1) on pages 88-91, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.505.1.6, http://zenodo.org/record/542526

A Mizuno-Todd-Ye type predictor-corrector algorithm for sufficient linear complimentarity problems
No full textWe analyze a version of the Mizuno-Todd-Ye predictor-corrector interior point algorithm for the -matrix linear complementarity problem (LCP). We assume the existence of a strictly positive feasible solution. Our version of the Mizuno-Todd-Ye predictor-corrector algorithm is a generalization of Potra's [F.A. Potra, The Mizuno-Todd-Ye algorithm in a larger neighborhood of the central path, European Journal of Operational Research 143 (2002) 257-267] results on the LCP with -matrices. We are using a v−1 − v proximity measure like Potra to derive iteration complexity result for this algorithm . Our algorithm is different from Miao's method [J. Miao, A quadratically convergent -iteration algorithm for the P*(κ)-matrix linear complementarity problem, Mathematical Programming 69 (1995) 355-368] in both the proximity measure used and the way of updating the centrality parameter. Our analysis is easier than the previously stated results. We also show that the iteration complexity of our algorithm is
Efficient Distributed Detection Of Conjunctions Of Local Predicates M. Hurfin M. Mizuno M. Raynal M. Singhal
No full text: Global predicate detection is a fundamental problem in distributed systems and finds applications in many domains such as testing and debugging distributed programs. This paper presents two efficient distributed algorithms to detect conjunctive form global predicates in distributed systems. The algorithms detect the first consistent global state that satisfies the predicate even if the predicate is unstable. The algorithms are based on complementary approaches and are dual of each other. The algorithms are distributed because the predicate detection efforts as well as the necessary information is equally distributed among the processes. We prove the correctness of the algorithms and compare their performance with those of the existing predicate detection algorithms. The proposed algorithms compare very favorably with the existing algorithms in terms of the number of messages exchanged for predicate detection.

Analysis Code for: Current Practices in Environmental Monitoring Across GMP/GCTP Facilities: Insights from a Survey in Japan
No full textThis project contains the R analysis code associated with the article: Mizuno M, Oono T, Takahashi K, Tsujimoto K, Tanigawa N, Nakamura Y, Nakamura H, Fujii K, Sekiya I. "Current Practices in Environmental Monitoring Across GMP/GCTP Facilities: Insights from a Survey in Japan." Heliyon (2026).
The script performs multivariate statistical analyses of questionnaire survey data on environmental monitoring (EM) practices across GMP- and GCTP-compliant pharmaceutical and regenerative medicine manufacturing facilities in Japan. Analyses include principal component analysis (PCA), k-means clustering, linear discriminant analysis (LDA), permutational multivariate analysis of variance (PERMANOVA), χ² tests, and item-level effect size estimation (η²).
The survey response data are not included in this repository due to the small sample size and the potential for re-identification of participating facilities. Data may be made available upon reasonable request to the corresponding author
