To design a computer-aided diagnosis of helicobacter pylori infection, this paper presents a method for extracting the essential region for diagnosing the infection from gastric X-ray images automatically. Although the automated extraction has a core role as a pre-processing method in the diagnosis, all the existing systems for diagnosing the infection or gastric cancer using X-ray images have never contained the extraction into the systems due to difficulty of the extraction. In the proposed method, first, two objects of the barium-pool and the spinal column are extracted. Next, with the clue of these objects and difference of density distributions between the gastric area and its outer area, the essential region is extracted by detecting the contour of gastric area. Experimental results for the proposed method using 106 images have shown that the proposed method correctly extracted the essential region from 87 images.

This paper describes a robot for supporting instructors who are teaching programming classes. The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in Japan, in its Latest Course of Study, strongly recommends using a system of active learning and conducting programming education in elementary schools. Programming instruction typically includes explanation of the basic syntax of programming languages, application of basic syntax, and exercises. However, in programming classes, the teachers spend much more time correcting errors, that is, programming bugs, in students' programs than they spend teaching. To help make programming classes more effective, we aim to build a robot that helps students troubleshoot and fix bugs during programming lessons. The robot needs to detect students having difficulty and find mistakes in students' programs. This paper describes techniques necessary for the teaching assistant robot to support a teacher in programming classes. In particular, this paper explains the abilities of the teaching assistant robot to detect students raising their hands, confirm the correctness of a vehicle robot assembled by a student, and check a student's program by evaluating the performance of the vehicle robot. We also show the effectiveness of the teaching robots by conducting evaluation experiments using these techniques.

A growing trend for today's intelligent automotive industry is co-design of hardware alongside embedded, low-level software that closely interacts with it. Formal techniques have emerged as alternative ways to ensure the quality and correctness of embedded systems, overcoming some of the deficiencies of traditional validation techniques such as simulation and testing. Tighter integration of hardware and software components makes a strong case for the need of formal co-verification tools. In order to provide insight into the scope of currently available formal techniques, we survey a variety of frameworks and techniques proposed in the literature and applied to actual designs. There are two main aspects about the application of formal co-verification techniques: unified property specification and co-verification framework used to specify desired properties.

Prediction and prevention of dropout are main challenges of institutional research (IR) in universities nowa- days. If we can identify factors significantly contributing to dropout by statistical inference, then it is helpful for devel- oping strategies for dropout prevention. The main problem in identifying such significant factors is that available data contain much more candidate factors than the students. Most of conventional statistical methods do not work well unless the number of data is much more than the number of parameters to be estimated, which means that we cannot apply such methods in identifying factors contributing to dropout. To circumvent the situation, we propose to use sparse logistic regression for identifying factors contributing to dropout based on data with a large number of candidate factors. Sparse logis- tic regression is a method that can analyze such data reliably by pruning factors that do not contribute to the analysis. To demonstrate how sparse logistic regression identifies factors contributing to dropout, we applied the method to actual university credit data of 410 students for 302 courses and identified 18 courses that significantly contribute to dropout. The contributions of the identified courses to dropout are interpreted.

It is no doubt that IT systems are essential to enterprise infrastructure. In EA approach, both business architecture and IT architecture are explicitly defined consistently. In order to analyze the dynamic feasibility of the (re)designed business model or architecture, system dynamics modeling with simulation could be a powerful tool. However, it tends to only consider the modeling teams’ existing awareness of dynamic mechanisms. Unless incorporating unconscious dynamic mechanisms existing in business context, the simulation results of the (re)designed business model might be hopeful but unrealistic. Therefore, the database/library of business dynamic mechanisms existing in the business context will be desired to incorporate unaware side-effects into business simulations. In this article, we propose a method to understand and model dynamic mechanisms existing in business context, in order to store the pieces of business dynamic mechanisms into the database or library. Moreover, we discuss advantages of the method and future works through our experiences, after case studies by applying the proposed method are shown.

According to the World Travel Organization (Tourism, 2003), 20% of all tourism worldwide is from the youth and student market. The Hostelling International maintains that there are approximately 35 million hotel beds connected to their network worldwide (Chandresekaran and Paterik, 2002). The number of international backpackers in 2015 was 89,100. Until 2016, the number of backpackers was 192,400. This purpose of this study is to explore what constitutes international backpackers' motivation from travel career perspective. In this study, the number of participants was 300 (males:146; females: 154). In Table 4.1.2, 83 participants would like to broaden their world views; 280 participants experienced exotic culture, and 278 participant enjoyed enriching their life experience In addition, 260 participants would like to get to know friends from different countries. The above factors show the reason why they would like to be international backpackers. Tables 4.1 and 4.1.1. show that international backpackers' motivations and traveling in overseas were statistically significant because of p-value (p=.000) <.05. Results suggest that motivations of independence, budget travel, experiential, and personal/social growth are dynamic throughout the backpacker's travel career, which is based on Maslow's needs analysis. Overall, this study provides valuable insight into what is at the core of all backpackers' travel motivation.

As apparel products are often bound by product categories, colors, and size expansions, the inventory space in retail stores must be limited. Thus, it is important to time shipments from the logistics warehouse. However, given that demand for apparel products changes dramatically according the season and social trends, demand forecasting becomes difficult. Therefore, shipping personnel must regularly review shipping plans in consideration of the sales situation, being appropriate for all apparel products. It is difficult to verify plans and make modifications. In this study, through an analysis the shipping record and the just-in-time inventory at the logistics warehouse, we acquire knowledge to give appropriate shipping instructions for shipping personnel based on the premise that returns are also minimized, without missing sales opportunities due to products being out of stock. Consequently, when a product is reviewed and its shipping plan is specified, the shipping plan will be modified in consideration of the sales situation and fashions of products that are similar to it.

Revitalization of local cities is one of the major issues for Japan. Recently foreign tourists visiting Japan have increased, and its economic ripple effect is great. However, in big cities and local cities, there is a big difference in the inbound market. To solve the problem, it is necessary to think about the marketing of regional origin. In order to attract foreign tourists to local cities, review data on the Internet was collected and analyzed by the text mining method to clarify the characteristics and differences of each nationality. As a result, we have discovered the difference between Chinese and Taiwanese preferences, for example. This knowledge enables optimal products/services to be provided by customer groups, and can be developed to other areas/cities.

We create character networks from comics using the frames and the words in balloons to find and understand them. First, we build a dataset that contains a comic's characters and its words in balloons separated by frames. Second, we extract the semantic relations among characters using the words in the balloons and the frames. Third, we develop character networks by identifying the important characters with their relatedness and add semantic relations to the networks. We implemented our approach and successfully built character networks from four popular Japanese comics and evaluated our kinship relation extraction algorithms using them.
