This paper presents a method of correcting distortion in 3D laser-scan data from in-vehicle multilayer laser scanner. A robot identifies its own 3D pose (position and attitude) in a laser-scan period using the normal-distributions transform (NDT) scan-matching method. Based on the pose information, the robot's pose in a period shorter than scan period under the assumption that the robot moves at almost constant linear and turning velocities. The estimated pose of the robot is applied to map laserscan data onto a world coordinate frame. Subsequently, the robot again identifies its own 3D pose from the mapped scan data using NDT scan matching. This iterative process enables the robot to correct the distortion of laser-scan date and accurately map the laser-scan data onto the world coordinate frame. Two methods for correcting the laser-scan data are presented: linear-interpolation based and Kalman-filter based methods. The former applies the extrapolation and interpolation to estimate the vehicle pose, while the latter applies the prediction, estimation, and smoothing. Experimental results of mapping a signal light in a road environment show the performance of the proposed two methods.

I report a case of scalp hair loss and nail destruction as possible side effects of anabolic androgenic steroid (AAS) doping in a Japanese athlete. The patiet, a 27-year-old man, was an amateur bodybuilder who won the championship in a bodybuilding contest. However, he tested positive in a doping test for drostanolone and stanozolol, and was deprived of his championship.In Japan, positive results in doping tests are very rare. The patient suffered from loss of scalp hair and destruction of the nails before the contest. In addition, he presented with hoarseness and soft tumors of the lower extremities. Laboratory data showed hypotestos-onemia caused by AAS doping. However, a hCG test revealed that he still had positive of sex function capacity. Therefore the patients natural course was observed without medical treatment, and the symptoms were resolved within four months after the contest. This is considered to be the first case of nail destruction caused by AAS doping reported in the world.

This paper proposes a method for sharing impression, sentiment, and opinion among people listening to an auditory program together by voice sound effects. We call the system "Radi-Hey." In contrast to the conventional Laugh Tracks played by program staff in TV and radio programs, Radi-Hey reflects the input from audiences themselves. The audiences input their opinion by pushing buttons of several short words (e.g. "oh!", "why?") and can listen to the other audiences' opinion by voice sound effects. Recently, text-based systems (e.g. Twitter) have been used for this purpose, but the audiences are required to concentrate on inputting their message and viewing the others' message. The aim of this paper is to realize high level of simplicity that provides much more prompt and easy sharing of the others' opinion by auditory feedback. We conducted two experimental demonstrations: radio broadcasting programs, and presentations at an academic conference. This paper describes the results showing potential applicability of the system, and the pros and cons for the future development.

LIDAR (Laser Imaging Detection and Ranging) detects a rock mass surface as a point cloud, and threedimensional configurations of the rock mass can be obtained from the point cloud. In previous studies, algorithms to estimate discontinuities from a point cloud have been developed. In those algorithms, it is necessary to determine geological parameters in advance. DiAna(Discontinuity Analysis) is a Matlab tool which was developed for geostructural analysis of rock mass discontinuities. It is a semi-automatic tool. DiAna segments a point cloud into bounding boxes to estimate the surface of a rock mass. However, an expert's skills necessary to determine the appropriate size of the bounding boxes for DiAna. We developed the VBS (Variable-Box Segmentation) algorithm to determine the appropriate box size depending on the location of the point cloud and to estimate the surface of a rock mass. The VBS algorithm consists principally of three processes: large box segmentation, small box segmentation, and merging. The small boxes are merged to obtain an appropriate box size. The surface of the rock mass is estimated using the point cloud in the box. The performance of the VBS algorithms was evaluated using point clouds obtained by a geological survey. For evaluation, we estimated reference rock mass surfaces manually using the point cloud and geological sketches by geologists. Similarities among the respective reference surfaces and the surfaces estimated using the VBS algorithm were measured. Similarities among the respective reference surfaces and the surfaces estimated using the DiAna algorithm were also measured. The similarities among them were compared using standard competition ranking. The results of comparison showed that the VBS algorithm estimated planes more accurately for the reference planes than the DiAna algorithm. Therefore, the VBS algorithm determines appropriate box sizes automatically depending on the location of the point cloud and estimates the surface appropriately.

目的:障害者総合支援法の理念となる障害者基本計画では障害者の意思表示やコミュニケーションを支援し情報アクセシビリティを向上することが示されている.コミュニケーションに障害をもつ人が,その人の残存能力に応じて意思を伝える方法をAAC(Augmentative and Alternative Communication;拡大代替コミュニケーション)といい,情報アクセシビリティが整備された環境づくりを進めるために障害種別ごとのAAC手法の体系的な分類が求められている.本稿では学術論文を中心に障害種別ごとに求められる支援手法に関する文献レビューを報告する.方法:学術論文の検索は国内医学文献データベース医中誌ウェブ等を用い,AAC関連検索語による検索式を用いて検索した.得られた文献からタイトル・要約・本文内容に基づき適切な文献を選択し,対象障害ごとのAACを抽出した.対象障害は視覚障害,聴覚障害,盲ろう,発達障害(自閉症を含む),知的障害,高次脳機能障害(失語症),ALSなど総合支援法の対象となっている難病,その他とした.結果:最終的に98件の文献が得られた.視覚障害( 7 件,7.1%)では視覚機能の補強,聴覚情報および触覚情報への変換という観点から,聴覚障害( 7 件,7.1%)では聴覚機能の補強,視覚情報および触覚情報への変換という観点からAACを分類した.発達障害(10件,10.2%),知的障害( 7 件,7.1%),高次脳機能障害(11件,11.2%)についてはそれぞれにおける意思疎通の困難さの特徴に応じ,視覚情報や聴覚情報への変換,およびそれらの併用という観点で分類した.重度身体障害を引き起こす難病(46件,46.9%)におけるAACでは運動機能の補強という観点,および症状の進行に応じた分類を行った.考察:障害種別ごとに必要とされるAAC分類を行ったところ,障害種別を超えたAACの応用の可能性が明らかとなった.本来,AACは障害の名称によって分類されるものではなく,意思疎通が困難な原因やその程度に合わせて提供されることが望ましく,情報アクセシビリティの向上や環境づくりを目指すうえでは,今後はこのような観点からAACアプローチに関する研究が進むことが期待される.

The study describes an architectural survey of The Fujita Museum warehouses. The two buildings were built in 1911 immediately after reinforced concrete construction was introduced in Japan. And after 107 years the buildings were demolished in 2018. The warehouse 1 had a superior in fireproof performance because it was made of double outer wall and with an incline roof that were made from reinforced concrete. It also have a steel roof truss that was a produced domestically by The Imperial Steel Works, Japan.

BACKGROUNDPrimary curative treatment of resectable laryngeal cancer includes surgery and chemoradiotherapy. Other treatment options include radiotherapy, chemoradiotherapy, partial laryngectomy, and total laryngectomy. Larynx-preserving treatments (partial laryngectomy, radiotherapy, and chemoradiotherapy) are recommended in early stage cases, although total laryngectomy is needed in advanced cases. Here, we evaluated trends in treatment strategies and identified the factors that are important in decision making.METHODSWe performed a retrospective analysis of data acquired from electronic medical records in Japan. Hospitalized laryngeal cancer patients admitted between January 2014 and December 2018 were included in our analyses. The primary outcome was the initial treatment.RESULTSA total of 363 patients (mean age 71.8 ± 9.5, male/female = 333/30) met the inclusion criteria. Of these, 10.1% of the patients were treated with total laryngectomy, while 17.9% underwent partial resection, 65.8% received radiotherapy (chemoradiotherapy), and 6.1% had no treatment. Larynx-preserving treatment was used in most T1–2 cases (96.9%), and 40% of the patients with T3 cancer underwent total laryngectomy (adjusted odds ratio 26.7 [95% CI, 9.29-91.6]). Of the T3 cancers that were treated, total laryngectomy was performed in only 26.7% of patients aged ≤65 years, but in more than 50% of those aged >65 years.CONCLUSIONSThis retrospective study showed that larynx-preserving treatments were used in most T1–2 cases, and suggested that T stage is the most important factor affecting decision making in the treatment of laryngeal cancer. Older patients with T3 disease tended to undergo total laryngectomy, and age is an important factor in the decision-making process for cases of T3 laryngeal cancer.

The first and third incidents occurred while the victims were collecting edible wild plants. The other incidents occurred when the victims were hunting bear. In the first incident, a 42 year old woman was killed instantly by the bear that was protecting its young. In the third incident, the lone eight year old male bear dragged the 53 year old man about ninety meters to a comfortable spot where the bear then proceeded to eat the victim's muscle tissue. These facts suggest that in the third case, the purpose of the bear attack was to eat the man. In the second and fourth incidents, the bear retaliated against being shot by the hunter. In the second incident a 70 year old man was left in a critical condition. In the fourth incident, an 81 year old man was killed instantly. The causes of bear attacks against people can be divided into three general categorys; to eat people, to repel people and to play with people. Three of the incidents are in the category of repelling people, the other incident is in the category of attacking to eat.

The relation among evaluations in eating quality affects one's “desire to purchase”, “sense of safety”, and “sense of well-being”. The purpose of this study was to clarity the relation among evaluations of the eating quality of raw ham, as well as to determine how the relation influences one's “desire to purchase”, “sense of safety”, and “sense of well-being.” In this study, the samples were four raw hams which were very similar in terms of chemical composition, texture, and price. The result of principle component analysis indicated the importance of the “general evaluation by ‘umami’ and good texture” and “a moist texture as judged by the degree of saltiness” of the ham. The result of discriminant analysis indicated that the “general evaluation by ‘umami’ and good texture” affected one's “desire to purchase” and “sense of safety”, and the “moist texture as judged by the degree of the saltiness” affected the “sense of well-being.” In other words, the relation among evaluations of eating quality was affected by the purchasing evaluations.

北海道北部の森林では, ササ地を森林化させるために掻き起こし施業が広く行われてきた。施業から6∼8年が経過した樹冠下の掻き起こし地を対象に, 9種の高木性樹種を対象として樹高成長量と生存率を調べ, それらに影響する要因(植生間の競争・促進効果)を明らかにした。成長量と生存率が高かったのはキハダとナナカマド, ともに低かったのはアカエゾマツであった。多くの樹種の成長は, 周囲の広葉樹または稚樹以外の下層植生の量から促進効果を受けていた。ただし, シラカンバについては, 施業後3∼5年目の時点では促進効果が認められていたものの, 今回の結果では競争効果に転じていた。一方, 生存率については, 多くの樹種について周囲の針葉樹による負の影響のみが認められた。密度または生存率の低かった多くの樹種に対して, 周囲のシラカンバやササの回復が負の要因として働いていないことから, 多様な樹種の定着を図るうえで, 除伐や下刈りの実行は, 少なくともこの段階では有効ではないと考えられた。

To establish a guideline for the design of cell culture substrates to control human mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) differentiation, we quantitatively characterized the heterogeneity in the responsiveness of MSCs to the elastic modulus of culture substrates. We analyzed the elastic modulus-dependent dynamics of a mechanotransducer, YAP, and an osteogenic differentiation factor, RUNX2, in three different MSC lots using a styrenated gelatin gel with controllable elastic modulus. The percentage of cells with YAP in the nucleus increased linearly with increases in the elastic modulus, reaching a plateau at 10 kPa for all the lots analyzed. The increase in the percentage with the substrate elastic modulus was described by the same linear function. The percentage of cells with RUNX2 nuclear localization also increased linearly with increases in the substrate elastic modulus, plateauing at 5 kPa, although the regression lines to the linearly increasing regions varied between lots. These similarities and differences in YAP and RUNX2 dynamics among cell populations are basis to design the substrate elastic modulus to manipulate YAP and RUNX2 localizations.
