Social hierarchy is established as an outcome of individual social behaviors, such as dominance behavior during long-term interactions with others. Astrocytes are implicated in optimizing the balance between e...
Article
SIRT1, a member of the mammalian sirtuin family, is a nicotinamide adenosine dinucleotide (NAD)-dependent deacetylase with key roles in aging-related diseases and cellular senescence. However, the mechanism by...
Article
Astrocyte is a key regulator of neuronal activity and excitatory/inhibitory balance via gliotransmission. Recently, gliotransmission has been identified as a novel target for neurological diseases. However, us...
Article
For decades, the glial function has been highlighted not only as the ‘structural glue’, but also as an ‘active participant’ in neural circuits. Here, we suggest that tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), a key infl...
Article
Many of previous gender classifiers have a common problem of low accuracy in classifying actual facial images taken in real environments since they were learned in restricted environments. Therefore, this stud...
Chapter and Conference Paper
We integrate the classic deformable part models (DPM) with the object proposal approaches to achieve a fast and accurate human detection system. The proposed method avoids exhaustive sliding window search, whi...

Chapter and Conference Paper
Shadow removal is one of the most important parts of moving object recognition in the field of intelligent video surveillance since the shadow definitely affects the recognition performance. This is caused fro...

Acupuncture has been used to treat various clinical diseases in Eastern medicine. To investigate the analgesic effect of electroacupuncture (EA) pretreatment on carrageenan-induced inflammatory pain, we studie...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Setting up an IDS architecture on ad-hoc network is hard because it is not easy to find suitable locations to setup IDS’s. One way is to divide the network into a set of clusters and put IDS on each cluster he...
Chapter and Conference Paper
For content-based music retrieval, since not only the correctness of retrieval results but also the performance of retrievals is important, there are great needs for efficient content-based music retrieval sys...
Chapter and Conference Paper
In content-based music retrieval systems, since both the correctness and the performance of retrievals are important, a few content-based music retrieval systems have the melody index which contains the repres...
Chapter and Conference Paper
In traditional content-based music information retrieval systems, users may face with longer response time, since the traditional systems mostly do syntactic processing to match query melody and whole melodies...
Chapter and Conference Paper
**i is the architecture for ubiquitous and distributed computing. There is, however, no strategy for load distribution in the specification of **i. This can cause performance degradation due to skewed loadin...
Chapter and Conference Paper
We proposed the mechanism of extracting theme melodies from a song by using a graphical clustering algorithm. In the proposed mechanism, a song is split into the set of motifs each of which is the minimum mean...
Chapter and Conference Paper
In this paper, an effective probability-based tile pre-fetching algorithm and a collaborative cache replacement algorithm for Web geographical information systems(Web GISs) are proposed. The proposed tile pre-...
Chapter and Conference Paper
A large data file in the internet such as a map is served in small pieces, called tiles. To improve the service speed for such data, we can prefetch future tiles while the current one is being displayed. Tradi...
