Metacognition researches in Turkey, Japan and Singapore

Induced mutations in plant breeding and biological researches in Japan

Abstract Two hundred and forty two direct-use mutant varieties generated by using irradiation, chemical mutagenesis and somaclonal variations, have been registered in Japan. About 61% of these were induced by Gammaray irradiation, largely due to successful collaboration with the Institute of Radiation Breeding. This high percentage of Gamma-ray irradiated mutants indicates that mutation breedin...

GIS Infrastructure in Japan — Developments and Algorithmic Researches

Some activities of geographical data maintenance and standardization work in GIS infrastructures in Japan are first reviewed. Then, from the viewpoint of geometric and combinatorial algorithmics, applied aspects of GIS are described. Some spatial data mining technique is mentioned first, and then the problem of inferring topological information from digital map and the label placement problem a...

SARS Risk Perception and Preventive Measures, Singapore and Japan

Emerging Infectious Diseases • www.cdc.gov/eid • Vol. 11, No. 4, April 2005 641 hospital with pneumonia had evidence of recent B. pertussis infection. In these persons, whether B. pertussis is a primary or secondary pathogen or an innocent bystander is not clear. Further work is needed to clarify the precise role of B. pertussis in developing adult pneumonia, the risk factors for B. pertussis–a...

Metacognition in Animals Metacognition in animals

Metacognition is thinking about thinking. There is considerable interest in developing animal models of metacognition to provide insight about the evolution of mind and a basis for investigating neurobiological mechanisms of cognitive impairments in people. Formal modeling of low-level (i.e., alternative) mechanisms has recently demonstrated that prevailing standards for documenting metacogniti...
