Multiview stereopsis (MVS) methods, which can reconstruct both the 3D geometry and texture from multiple images, have been rapidly developed and extensively investigated from the feature engineerin…
Heterogeneity plays an important role in cancer genesis and progression. In this paper, we theoretically and computationally show that the increase of heterogeneity signals predeterioration during …
Composite index is a powerful and popularly used tool in providing an overall measure of a subject by summarizing a group of measurements (component indices) of different aspects of the subject. It…
Multicore fibers (MCFs) have attracted intense attention to overcome the capacity limit of single-core optical fiber communication system. However, as indispensable connection devices between the M…
Although extant literature investigates the role of sell-side equity analysts in capital markets, most studies do not consider that sell-side equity analysts often work in hierarchical teams. Lead …
Deep models are commonly treated as black-boxes and lack interpretability. Here, we propose a novel approach to interpret deep image classifiers by generating discrete masks. Our method follows the…
We propose and demonstrate a spider silk-based fiber sensor for magnetic field measurement. The spider silk plays two roles: one is the carrier of sensitive magnetic materials (Streptavidin-Biotin …
We analyze the impact of short-run (90 days) and long-run (30 years) earthquake risk on real estate transaction prices in five Japanese cities (Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Fukuoka, and Sapporo), using qu…
