Nanostructural characterization and catalytic analysis of hybridized platinum/phthalocyanine nanocomposites (2009)

Kaneko, Kenji, Furuya, Kazuki, Hungria, Ana B., Hernandez-Garrido, Juan-Carlos, Midgley, Paul A., Onodera, Tsunenobu, ...

Organic crystals, such as phthalocyanine nanocrystal, were successfully hybridized with Pt nanoparticles using a nanohybridization technique. The presence of highly dispersed Pt nanoparticles on the...

Image Area Extraction of Biological Objects from a Thin Section Image by Statistical Texture Analysis (2008)

Norio Baba, Norihiko Ichise, Toshiyuki Tanaka

The statistical method in texture image analysis was applied to area extraction of biological objects from thin section electron microscope images. Four standard estimators defined from the gray...

Design of Modular Neural Network Architectures Using Genetic Algorithms (2008)

Seiichi Ozawa, Kazuyoshi Tsutsumi, Norio Baba

In this paper, we propose an evolutionary approach to the design of optimal modular neural network architectures. In this approach, a modular neural network is treated as a phenotype of an...

The development and characteristics of a high-speed EELS mapping system for a dedicated STEM (2008)

Isakozawa, Shigeto, Kaji, Kazutoshi, Jarausch, Konrad, Terada, Shohei, Baba, Norio

A new EELS (electron energy loss spectroscopy) real-time elemental mapping system has been developed for a dedicated scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM). The previous two-window-based...

Northwest Pacific Action Plan (NOWPAP). (2007)

Baba, Norio, Wang, Jianguo

The Northwest Pacific Action Plan (NOWPAP, http://www.nowpap.org/) is an integral part of the UNEP Regional Seas Programme (RSP) initiated in 1974. The overall goal of NOWPAP is “the wise use,...

Genetic Algorithm involving Coevolution Mechanism to Search for Effective Genetic Information (1997)

Hisashi Handa, Norio Baba, Osamu Katai, Tetsuo Sawaragi, Tadashi Horiuchi

A new genetic algorithm which exploits an idea of "coevolution" is proposed. The proposed method consists of two GAs: Host GA and Parasite GA. The Host GA searches for the solutions, and...

Image Area Extraction of Biological Objects from a Thin Section Image by Statistical Texture Analysis (1996)

Baba, Norio, Ichise, Norihiko, Tanaka, Toshiyuki

The statistical method in texture image analysis was applied to area extraction of biological objects from thin section electron microscope images. Four standard estimators defined from the gray...

The Crystal Structure of Specific Granules in Human Eosinophils Studied by Thin Sectioning and Deep-Etching with the Aid of Fourier Transformation (1993)

Morio, Satoko, Baba, Norio, Takabayashi, Katsuhiko, Toyama, Yoshiro, Oh, Hakumei, Yoshida, Sho, ...

The crystal structures of specific granules in human eosinophils were studied by thin sectioning and deep-etching with the aid of Fourier transformation. The crystal, thought to be a simple cubic by...

The Morphology of L-Fucose, D-Mannose Specific Lectin (SFL 100-2) Produced by Streptomyces No. 100-2 (1985)

MATSUI, Ikuo, OISHI, Kunio, KANAYA, Koichi, BABA, Norio

The morphology of an L-fucose specific lectin, SEL 100-2, from a Streptomyces sp. was studied. Electron microscopic observation showed that purified SFL 100-2 preparation consisted of particles...

A Study on the Unit Cell Structure of the Crystalloid in the Kloeckera Microbody Using Digital Image Processings and Computer Simulations (1984)

BABA, Norio, NAGANO, Misuzu, OSUMI, Masako, KANAYA, Koichi

A morphological study on the unit cell structure of the crystalloid in the micro-body in cells of Kloeckera sp. 2201 was done using the conventional ultrathin sectioning technique, digital image...
