Most studies examine holistic processing with respect to facial identity, but at least one study has also looked at holistic processing of facial expressions (Calder, Young, Keane, & Dean, 2000). However, this work used the partial composite paradigm, which is known to exhibit bias effects (Richler, Cheung, & Gauthier, 2011). The complete composite paradigm (Gauthier & Bukach, 2007) provides a ...

The theory of quantification is a method of statistical data analysis of categorical data. In other words, this is a kind of data theory and is closely related to optimum scaling method. This method has been mainly developed by Guttman in Israel and Hayashi in Japan. The multidimensional scaling method, which has been recently developed, is considered to be a continuation of the theory of quant...

Reed-Solomon and BCH codes were considered as kernels of polar codes by Mori and Tanaka in [6] and Korada, Şaşoğlu, and Urbanke in [4] to create polar codes with large exponents. For codes of length l ≤ q, Mori and Tanaka showed Reed-Solomon codes give the best possible exponent, where q is the size of the input alphabet. However, considering larger matrices over Fq yields better exponents for ...

Synopsis : The transient network model of Green-Tobolsky [1946], Yamamoto [1956] and Tanaka-Edwards [1992] is formulated within the frame of thermodynamics of irreversible processes, using as a fundamental quantity the chemical potential associated to the connection of strands to the network and treating these connections as chemical-like reactions. All thermodynamic quantities are thus natural...

Recently it was reported from this laboratory as one of a series of studies on the Salivary Gland Hormones, that liver and spleen were the main and characteristic sites of localization of radioactivity after administration of I 131 labeled Parotin to rats(Tanaka and Ito, 1958). And subsequently it was also observed that this characteristic localization of radioactivity in the liver and spleen a...

Two colour types were revealed in a zoarcid fish of the subgenus Furcimanus, genus Lycodes, in the Sea of Japan. A comparison of morphometric, meristic and genetic characters in dark coloured and light coloured individuals suggests that the two colour morphs represent a single species, determined to be Lycodes nakamurae (Tanaka, 1914). Variability in colouration within L. nakamurae and a lack o...

Based on holographic arguments Tanaka and Emparan et al have claimed that large localized static black holes do not exist in the one-brane Randall-Sundrum model. If such black holes are time-dependent as they propose, there are potentially significant phenomenological and theoretical consequences. We revisit the issue, arguing that their reasoning does not take into account the strongly coupled...
