This paper shows the system mutually retrieving pictures and sound clips based on their impressions. Pictures (sound clips, respectively) are retrieved by specifying a music clip (picture). Pictures (sound clips) having similar impression to a sound clip (picture) are retrieved. No words are required in retrieving them. To this end, the scores of the factors representing the impression of pictures and sound clips are used. This paper shows the estimation methods of the scores of the factors of pictures and sound clips. The factor scores estimated from the feature values of pictures and sound clips by using the estimation formulas are used in the retrieval. It is shown that the prototype system could mutually retrieve pictures and sound clips on the web successfully.

We have been researching a method that can induce a driver to drive more safely and more comfortably by grasping the mental state of the driver. For this purpose, we developed a 4K DS system to more realistically create the sense of driving through a landscape. We analyzed the gazing point distribution, oxygen concentration in the brain, pulse rate, skin potential, and the surface temperature of the face while driving. The subjects included 11 students from our university, aged 20~22 years old, who had driver's licenses. They simulated driving the full 120-km length of a road over the course of one hour. In the results, characteristic changes were seen in all parameters in every subject. In the future, we will consider the correlations among data in a more detailed analysis to attempt to grasp the mental state of the driver.

We conducted an experiment in which subjects viewed a 4K-resolution image shown on a big screen displayed at different viewing positions, we then analyzed gazing point at the respective positions. The study design included two viewing distances 0.75H (51cm, H is the display height) and 1.5H (102cm), and three viewing positions (center, right and left) as the parameters for subjects viewing the experimental images. Gaze movement while viewing three types of image at each of the 6 positions was measured by the viewer's eye and head movements. Results showed the distributions of gazing points were spread over the whole screen, and the locations of average gazing points were gathered in the screen center irrespective of the picture, viewing distance, or viewing position. However there was a significant difference in viewing position on the screen depending on the kind of picture, viewing distance, and viewing position as a result of 3-factor analysis of variance.

The Japanese language includes thousands of characters, distributed across various scripts, some extinct. The majority of Japanese characters is of Chinese ascent: these are the kanji characters. Character memorisation is thus an extremely challenging task for the learner of Japanese as a foreign language. Several methods have been proposed to alleviate this workload. We have recently described a novel strategy focusing on reusing the logical and mathematical knowledge acquired since elementary school to help with characters memorisation. To bind these a priori unrelated entities, we have proposed an algebra on J the set of the Japanese characters. In this paper, we propose a concrete possible implementation for automatic processing of this algebra on J, thus facilitating actual realisation of this educational method. In addition, other applications include Japanese characters display on low-end devices.

The statistical test rule induction method (STRIM) has been proposed as a method for effectively inducing if-then rules from a decision table. Its usefulness has been confirmed by a simulation experiment and comparison with conventional methods. However, real-world datasets often contain missing and contaminated values. This issue has been examined and addressed by various conventional methods. This paper also focuses on the problem of missing and contaminated values after specifying an observation system model for them. Experimental results show that STRIM is extremely robust for rule induction from such a decision table, even if many such values are contained in the datasets.

Summary form only given. All living things adjust their behavior according to natural light. Human's invention of artificial light has done much to enhance our night-time environment [1]. The night-time illumination is really important including wonderful lightning in metro cities and warm lightening in rural areas. Especially, the beautiful illumination in a city makes the city to live and attract tourists from all of the countries. We can easily find New York, Hong Kong, and etc. as examples of such a city. However, if not properly controlled, obtrusive light (commonly referred to as light pollution) can present serious physiological and ecological problems [2]. Therefore, the effort to minimize obtrusive light is very important for safe night-time activity.

The author coordinated a short movie-making project to introduce the good characteristics of Akita. The project aimed to develop the "Fundamental Competencies for Working Persons" proposed by the Ministry of Economy in 2006. There were 26 participants: 17 foreign students and 9 Japanese students. They were divided into five groups consisting of foreign and Japanese members. This paper examines whether group diversity contributes to the development of the "Fundamental Competencies for Working Persons." Interviews with the four student managers and the teacher in charge suggested that the project did contribute to the development of these competencies.

In this paper, we propose a method for supporting risk communications that uses collaborative learning. Using collaborative learning, participants in risk communications (e.g., stakeholders, decision makers, and experts) can not only acquire desired information, but also ascertain the intentions and knowledge of other parties with different concerns. In the process of collaborative learning, the participants achieve mutual understanding of risks. Features of this method are the use of externilization and construction of a fishbone diagram of opinion understanding.

I have been engaged in information science education for the training of medical technologists at a medical technology college. Up to the present, information science has not always been regarded as an indispensable part of the education of paramedics in Japan. However, along with the recent progress and technological advances in medical test equipment, as well as the promotion of electronic medical recording systems and online receipt of remuneration for medical services as ways of addressing the insufficient number of physicians and their increased workload, the importance of information science and technology, including computer operations, has been growing. In line with this, the recent paramedic licensing examinations have included content related to information science. This paper discusses not only information science education for effective clinical practice, but also the need to use portable information devices.
