Recently, old narrow tunnels are reused by widening their sections for economic efficiency. New design concept will be required in their construction because excavation damaged zone (EDZ) might be already formed around old tunnels. Especially, estimation of EDZ extent is necessary for safe construction and stability assessment of a widening tunnel. In this study, EDZ around an old tunnel constructed in the Neogene soft rock seventy years ago was estimated based on P-wave velocity and observation of the face during widening. Deformation caused by widening the old tunnel was also measured. It was found that EDZ estimated by reduction in P-wave velocity was in good agreement with that estimated by observation of the face. It was also found that deformation of the widening tunnel was much less than that of either the old tunnel or a new tunnel constructed near the widening tunnel. In the widening tunnel, most of EDZ had been excavated and non-damaged zone outer side of the EDZ had been little excavated. It can be expected that deformation of a widening tunnel is little when the section size of that is almost equal to extent of EDZ.

This study investigated psychological background for self-recognition need (Kamise, 1992) and actions of seeking information about the self. Two surveys were conducted and 960 young adults participated in total (655 participants for the first survey and 305 for the second). The results of the first survey showed that the confusion of ego-identity gave rise to the instability of self concept and invoked self -recognition need. The results of the second survey showed that the interdependent construal of self preceded the instability of self concept and was related to the arousal of self-recognition need. In addition, after their self-recognition need being raised, the participants initiated actions of seeking self-information. Moreover, both the interdependent construal of self and the tendency of dependence on others in decision making were related to the action of seeking information about self.

Many studies on the spatial distribution of insect populations have been made by various workers. But in bird populations as well as other higher animals it is not easy to determine their spatial distribution by fitting them to a theoretical distribution. The territory mapping method, however, makes this possible.If all individual birds seen or heard in a sample area are plotted on a map and several census trips are repeatedly made, number of groups of spots which indicate the location of the individuals and their territories will appear on a composite map. If the population density is so high that the territories are distributed all over the sample area, Neyman's type A contageous distribution with two parameters theoretically seem to realize in the spatial distribution of these spots. The observed distribu-tion obtained with respect to Emberiza spodocephala and Anthus hodgsoni apparently fitted the theoretical one.The mean area occupied by a group of spots which is equivalent to the mean size of a territory was obtained by calculating one of the three biological constants of Neyman's type A distribution.When, again, the population density is high and, accordingly, the distance between the nearest neighbouring territories is very short, the distribution of the territories in a sample area will be expected to be even, not random. This expectation was justified by the fact that the Poisson index of dispersion in the distribution of the geometrical centres of territories was always smaller than 1. The index, however, was not always significantly different from 1. This means that the distribution of territories in high population density would be essentially even, but, in some cases, the Poisson type apparently appeared as a result of unevenness of the environment which probably disturbed the even distribution of the territories.

This paper presents a support vector data description (SVDD)-based method for finding new benthic species from microscopic images and its application to taxonomy position estimation. First, the proposed method generates hyperspheres that represent taxonomic species taxa of known species and enables automatic species classification. Furthermore, weight estimation of visual features based on multiple kernel learning (MKL) is used in this approach to realize automatic weighting of categorical traits that are traditionally determined by taxonomists. Next, based on the traditional taxonomic classification scheme, the proposed method merges the hyperspheres of similar species and generates new hyperspheres that represent ultra-species taxa in higher hierarchies. Then, from the obtained results, a new decision tree, whose nodes are hyperspheres of species taxa and ultra-species taxa, is constructed. By using this decision tree, new benthic species can be found from target samples, and their taxonomic positions can also be estimated.

This paper presents a new evaluation criterion for visualization of image search results based on the feature integration theory. This criterion is derived by combining two elements, visual saliency on visualization and grouping degree of similar images. Visual saliency, which is calculated from the feature integration theory, on visualization of image search results enables representation of users' attention, which is closely related to the effectiveness of finding images. Furthermore, since users perceive similar images that are close to each other as one group, grouping degree of similar images enables evaluation of the effectiveness when users find images similar to a desired image. Therefore, by combining visual saliency on visualization and grouping degree of similar images, we can derive the novel criterion and evaluate the effectiveness of visualization of image search results.

An Active grid-based method for estimating pass regions from broadcast soccer videos is presented in this paper. It is assumed that the pass region has a high probability of the pass succeeding. In soccer matches, players discover pass regions based on previous and current player positions. In conventional methods, pass regions are estimated by applying Active Net to only a single frame of a soccer video. In the proposed method, Active grid is applied to three-dimensional data by which frames of the soccer video are connected with the temporal dimension. The proposed method then realizes robust estimation of pass regions based on multiple frames of player positions. The proposed method was applied to actual TV programs to verify its effectiveness.

This paper presents a new method to improve performance of SVM-based classification, which contains a target object detection scheme. The proposed method tries to detect target objects from training images and improve the performance of the image classification by calculating the hyperplane from the detection results. Specifically, the proposed method calculates a Support Vector Machine (SVM) hyperplane, and detects rectangular areas surrounding the target objects based on the distances between their feature vectors and the separating hyperplane in the feature space. Then modification of feature vectors becomes feasible by removing features that exist only in background areas. Furthermore, a new hyperplane is calculated by using the modified feature vectors. Since the removed features are not part of the target object, they are not relevant to the learning process. Therefore, their removal can improve the performance of the image classification. Experimental results obtained by applying the proposed methods to several existing SVM-based classification method show its effectiveness.

Several studies have shown that low cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) or heavy alcohol consumption is risks of total or certain types of cancer death. However, the combined influence of CRF and drinking habits on total cancer mortality is not clear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the joint effect of CRF and drinking habits on total cancer mortality among Japanese men. We evaluated the CRF and drinking habits on risk of total cancer mortality in 8,760 Japanese men (age: 19-59 yr) who were given a submaximal exercise test, a medical examination test, and questionnaires on their health habits. CRF was measured using a cycle ergometer test, and the men were classified into two categories by CRF levels based on the reference value of CRF (R-CRF) in “Physical Activity Reference for Health Promotion 2013” (Under R-CRF and Over R-CRF). Also, the men were assigned to Non Drinking, Moderate Drinking, and Heavy Drinking categories. There were 178 cancer deaths during the 20-yr follow-up period. Relative risk and 95% confidence intervals for total cancer mortality were obtained using the Cox proportional hazards model while adjusting for age, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, and smoking habits. Using the Under R-CRF & Heavy Drinking group as reference, the relative risk and 95% confidence intervals were 0.37 (0.16–0.85) for the Over R-CRF & Non Drinking group. This result suggests that Japanese male with a high CRF and a low drinking habit have a lower risk of total cancer mortality.

The Barcode of Life (BOL) project aims to identify species with no other information than DNA sequence. We assume that BOL includes information on higher taxa. In the present study, we compute nonmetric distance from BOL barcodes by using rank order of pairwise distance for 3 distinct examples, namely, Ant Diversity in Northern Madagascar, Survey of Chelicerates, and Birds of North America. This enables us to recognize higher taxa, i.e., genus, family, and order, more easily. For example, the ratio of mean inner taxa nonmetric distance to the intertaxa distance is smaller than that for raw (metric) distance. Furthermore, for most pairs of higher taxa, the mean intertaxa distance is more than twice larger than intrataxa distances. The nonmetric multidimensional scaling method enables to discriminate higher taxa compared to tree construction by the neighbor-joining method or the maximum parsimony method with raw distance measure, when each species is embedded into more than 40 dimensional space with an accuracy of 90% even after leave-one-out-cross-validation.
