Model Adaptation and Posture Estimation of Moving Articulated Object Using Monocular Camera (2008)

N. Shimada, Y. Shirai, Y. Kuno

This paper presents a method of estimating both 3-D shapes and moving poses of an articulated object from a monocular image sequence. Instead of using direct depth data, prior loose knowledge about...

Localization and functional interrelationships among cytosolic Group IV, secreted Group V, and Ca2+-independent group VI phospholipase A(2)s in P388D(1) macrophages using GFP/RFP constructs (2005)

Shirai, Y, Balsinde, J, Dennis, E A

P388D(1) cells exposed to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) mobilize arachidonic acid (AA) for prostaglandin synthesis in two temporally distinct pathways. The "immediate pathway" is...

Localization of Group V phospholipase A(2) in caveolin-enriched granules in activated P388D1 macrophage-like cells (2003)

Balboa, M A, Shirai, Y, Gaietta, G, Ellisman, M H, Balsinde, J S, Dennis, E A

In murine P388D(1) macrophages, the generation of prostaglandin E-2 in response to long term stimulation by lipopolysaccharide involves the action of Group V secreted phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)),...

Tracking a Person with 3-D Motion by Integrating Optical Flow and Depth (2000)

R. Okada, Y. Shirai, J. Miura

This paper describes a methodoftracking a person with 3-D translation and rotation by integrating optical flow and depth. The target region is first extracted based on the probability of each pixel...

Deformation of Polysynthetically Twinned Crystals of TiAl with a Nearly Stoichiometric Composition. (1998)

Fujiwara, T., Nakamura, A., Hosomi, M., Nishitani, S. R., Shirai, Y.

Polysynthetically twinned crystals of TiAl with a nearly stoichiometric composition have been grown and deformed in compression at room temperature; the yield stress and deformation behavior depends...

Anomalous Temperature Dependence of Electrical Resistivity of L1(sub 2) Intermetallic Compounds Formed by Alloying Al3Ti With Mn and Fe. (1998)

Nishitani, S. R., Masaki, K., Shirai, Y., Yamaguchi, M.

The temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity has been investigated in Al3Ti modified with additions of Mn or Fe, from 4.2 - 900 K. The electrical resistivities of as-solidified...

Lattice Defects and Plastic Deformation of CoSi2. (1998)

Yamaguchi, M., Shirai, Y., Inui, H.

Current knowledge of the properties of vacancies and the slip behavior and mechanisms of CoSi2 is reviewed based on the results of our recent studies on CoSi2. The concentration of thermal vacancies...

Towards Precision Robotic Maneuvering, Survey, and Manipulation in Unstructured Undersea Environments (1998)

Y. Shirai, S. Hirose, Louis Whitcomb, Dana Yoerger, Hanumant Singh, David Mindell

This paper reports recent advances in the precision control of underwater robotic vehicles for survey and manipulation missions. A new underwater vehicle navigation and control system employing a new...

Illumination set-up planning for a hand-eye system based on environmental modell. (1989)

Niepold, R., Sakane, S., Sato, T., Shirai, Y.

In hand-eye systems for advanced robotic applications such as assembly, degrees-of-freedom of the vision sensor should be increased appropriately to cope with unstable scene conditions. Particularly,...

Guiding a robot by visual feedback in assembling tasks (1973)

Y. Shirai, H. Inoue

Abstraet--A system whereby a robot puts a block into a box using visual feedback is described. In this experiment, the difference between the desired position and the actual position of the object is...

Suppression of ftsH mutant phenotypes by overproduction of molecular chaperones.

Shirai, Y, Akiyama, Y, Ito, K

Decreased intracellular levels of FtsH, a membrane-bound ATPase, led to retardation of growth and protein export, as well as to an abnormal translocation of alkaline phosphatase that had been...

Specificity of amphiphilic anionic peptides for fusion of phospholipid vesicles.

Murata, M, Takahashi, S, Shirai, Y, Kagiwada, S, Hishida, R, Ohnishi, S

We have synthesized five amphiphilic anionic peptides derived from E5 peptide [Murata, M., Takahashi, S., Kagiwada, S., Suzuki, A., Ohnishi, S. 1992. Biochemistry 31:1986-1992. E5NN and E5CC are...

Inapparent carcinoma of the gallbladder. An appraisal of a radical second operation after simple cholecystectomy.

Shirai, Y, Yoshida, K, Tsukada, K, Muto, T

This study was designed to investigate issues concerning "inapparent carcinoma" of the gallbladder and the effectiveness of a radical second operation in the treatment of inapparent carcinoma....

Radical surgery for gallbladder carcinoma. Long-term results.

Shirai, Y, Yoshida, K, Tsukada, K, Muto, T, Watanabe, H

The authors' objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of radical surgery with lymph node dissection for gallbladder carcinoma. Long-term results were analyzed in 40 patients in a 5-year study. The...
