This paper proposes an image-processing-based method for personalization of calorie consumption assessment during exercising. An experiment is carried out where several actions are required in an exercise called broadcast gymnastics, especially popular in Japan and China. We use Kinect, which captures body actions by separating the body into joints and segments that contain them, to monitor body movements to test the velocity of each body joint and capture the subject's image for calculating the mass of each body joint that differs for each subject. By a kinetic energy formula, we obtain the kinetic energy of each body joint, and calories consumed during exercise are calculated in this process. We evaluate the performance of our method by benchmarking it to Fitbit, a smart watch well-known for health monitoring during exercise. The experimental results in this paper show that our method outperforms a state-of-the-art calorie assessment method, which we base on and improve, in terms of the error rate from Fitbit's ground-truth values., The AAAI 2018 Spring Symposium on Beyond Machine Intelligence: Understanding Cognitive Bias and Humanity for Well-Being, March 26-28, 2018, Stanford University, Palo Alto, California USA

This paper presents a design of a non-player character (AI) for promoting balancedness in use of body segments when engaging in full-body motion gaming. In our experiment, we settle a battle between the proposed AI and a player by using FightingICE, a fighting game platform for AI development. A middleware called UKI is used to allow the player to control the game by using body motion instead of the keyboard and mouse. During gameplay, the proposed AI analyze health states of the player; it determines its next action by predicting how each candidate action, recommended by a Monte-Carlo tree search algorithm, will induce the player to move, and how the player's health tends to be affected. Our result demonstrates successful improvement in balancedness in use of body segments on 4 out of 5 subjects., A revised version of our paper for 2017 AAAI Spring Symposium Series (Well-Being AI: From Machine Learning to Subjective Oriented Computing), San Francisco,USA, Mar. 27-29, 2017. Revised contents, due to our correction of (8), are highlighted in red. Many apologies, but the effectiveness of the proposed method/approach in the paper still holds

Fragestellung: Knorpelläsionen im Knie stellen nach wie vor ein schwer zu behandelndes Problem dar. Zwar zeigen Verfahren wie das Microfracturing gute kurz- und mittelfristige Ergebnisse, jedoch ist auch bekannt, dass nach ca. 5 Jahren die Ergebnisse aufgrund der minderwertigen Qualität des[zum vollständigen Text gelangen Sie über die oben angegebene URL], Deutscher Kongress für Orthopädie und Unfallchirurgie (DKOU 2016)

本邦におけるCrohn病の家族内発生は極めて稀であるが,われわれは兄弟発生例を経験したので報告する.症例1:15歳男(弟),昭和51年3月,回盲部痛あり近医にて虫垂切除を受けたが,虫垂は正常で,回盲部に腫瘤を認められ本院へ紹介入院した.小腸造影にて回腸末端の狭窄と瘻孔形成を認めCrohn、病と診断,回盲部切除を施行,回腸に縦走潰瘍と腸間膜に瘻孔を認めた.術後15年再発もなく健在である.症例2:29歳男(兄),22歳時,虫垂切除を受けたが,その後も時に腹痛があった.6年後の昭和63年3月腹痛にて来院,小腸造影にて回腸末端の狭窄と瘻孔形成およびS状結腸の狭窄が認められ開腹,回腸約150cmとS状結腸を切除した.回腸には縦走潰瘍とskip lesionを認めた.術後3年再発の兆候はない.また,HLA抗原の検索では,症例2(兄)にお移て,BW61を認めたにすぎなかった.

In the Littlest Higgs model with T-parity, we study production processes of new gauge bosons at the international linear collider (ILC). Through Monte Carlo simulations of the production processes, we show that the heavy gauge boson masses can be determined very accurately at the ILC for a representative parameter point of the model. From the simulation result, we also discuss the determination of other model parameters at the ILC., Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures. Talk given at LCWS08, Chicago, November 2008

We investigate a possibility of precision measurements for parameters of the Littlest Higgs model with T-parity at the International Linear Collider (ILC). The model predicts new gauge bosons which masses strongly depend on the vacuum expectation value that breaks a global symmetry of the model. Through Monte Carlo simulations of production processes of new gauge bosons, we show that these masses can be determined very accurately at the ILC for a representative parameter point of the model. From the simulation result, we also discuss the determination of other model parameters at the ILC., Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, To appear in the proceedings of the ILC Physics WG Meetings, KEK, May 2007 - June 2009
