The effects of cations are very important in field-effect transistors (FETs) type DNA sensors detecting the intrinsic negative charge between single-stranded DNA and double-stranded DNA without labeling, because the intrinsic negative charge of DNA is neutralized by cations in electrolyte solution. We consider the Debye length, which depends on the concentration of cations in solution, to detect DNA hybridization based on the intrinsic negative charge of DNA. The Debye length is longer in buffer solution with a lower concentration of NaCl and the intrinsic negative charge of DNA is more effective on the channel surface in longer Debye length solution. The shifts in the gate voltage by DNA hybridization with complementary target DNA are 21 mV in 1 mM NaCl buffer solution, 7.2 mV in 10 mM NaCl buffer solution, and 5.1 mV in 100 mM NaCl buffer solution. The sensitivity of FETs to detect DNA hybridization based on charge detection without labeling depends on the Debye length.

As the first step to investigate the effect of ship's motion when detecting target with an echo sounder, variations in the incident sound level at the optional position within the sound beam due to roll motion of the transmitter have been measured and calculated. In this experiment, the transmitter (75 KHz) was mounted to the bottom of a FRP model of the 2,275 G. T. stern trawler and the receiver (75 KHz) was installed at each measuring point within the transmitter's beam. Then, the incident sound level was measured for the roll angles from the free roll test on the model ship. For a range of roll angle of $\pm$20$^{\circ}$from the vertical, the measuring values of the incident sound level at each measuring point were rapidly fluctuated from 12.9% to 78.1 depending on the roll angle, and agreed well with the caculated ones. Consquently, we concluded that the effect of ship's motion when detecting target with an echo sounder should be sufficiently considered.

CZT detectors, which are compound semiconductors that have been widely used recently for gamma-ray detection purposes, are difficult to detect neutrons because direct interaction with them does not occur unlike gamma-rays. In this paper, a method of detecting and determining energy levels (fast neutrons and thermal neutrons) of neutrons, in addition of identifying energy and nuclide of gamma-rays, and evaluating gamma dose rates using a CZT semiconductor detector is described. Neutrons may be detected by a secondary photoelectric effect or compton scattering process with a characteristic gamma-ray of 558.6 keV generated by a capture reaction (¹¹³Cd + ¹n → ¹¹⁴Cd + 𝛾) with cadmium (Cd) in the CZT detector. However, in the case of fast neutrons, the probability of capture reaction with cadmium (Cd) is very low, so it must be moderated to thermal neutrons using a moderator and the material and thickness of moderator should be determined in consideration of the portability and detection efficiency of the equipment. Conversely, in the case of thermal neutrons, the detection efficiency decreases due to shielding effect of moderator itself, so additional CZT detector that do not contain moderator must be configured. The CZT detector that does not contain moderator can be used to evaluate energy, nuclide, and gamma dose-rate for gamma-rays. The technology proposed in this paper provides a method for detecting both neutrons and gamma-rays using a CZT detector.

The present study aimed to understand the sensory characteristic of change detection by comparing the experience of detecting a salient visual change against the experience of detecting a sensory conflict evoked by a binocular mismatch. In Experiment 1, we used the change detection task where 2, 4, or 6 items were short-term remembered in visual working memory and were compared with following test items. The half of change-present trials were manipulated to elicit a binocular rivalry on the test item with the change by way of monocular inputs across the eyes. The results showed that change detection accuracy without the rivalry manipulation declined evidently as the display setsize increased whereas no such setsize effect was observed with the rivalry manipulation. Experiment 2 tested search efficiency for the search array where the target was designated as an item with the rivalry manipulation, and found the search was very efficient regardless of the rivalry manipulation. The results of Experiment 1 and 2 showed that when the given memory load varies, the experience of detecting a salient visual change become similar to the experience of detecting a sensory conflict by a binocular rivalry.

One-dimensional, nanomaterial field effect transistors (FET) are promising sensors for bio-molecule detection applications. In this paper, we review fabrication and characteristics of 1-D nanomaterial FET type biosensors. Materials such as single wall carbon nanotubes, Si nanowires, metal oxide nanowires and nanotubes, and conducting polymer nanowires have been widely investigated for biosensors, because of their high sensitivity to bio-substances, with some capable of detecting a single biomolecule. In particular, we focus on three important aspects of biosensors: alignment of nanomaterials for biosensors, surface modification of the nanostructures, and electrical detection mechanism of the 1-D nanomaterial sensors.

In this paper, we analyse the effect of phase noise from PLL frequency synthesizer on 64 QAM when detecting corrupted signals. To predict the phase noise of an oscillator very accurately, we assume that the oscillator is linearly time-varying when the input impulsive current to the oscillator is small. The performance of the detector which detects the corrupted signal by oscillator phase noise is compared with that when the detector is only affected by AWGN and then analyse how much the phase noise degrades the system performance for 64 QAM.

In this paper we consider failure detection equipment that which find failures in repairable systems and enable repair operations. In practical situations, failure detection equipment may come across troubles that can cause the omissions in detecting system failures and have a serious effect on system reliability. We analyze this effect through the appropriate modeling of Markov processes.

Effect of elastic modulus mismatch on the contact crack initiation is investigated to find major parameters in designing desirable surface-coated system. Silicon nitride coated soft materials with various elastic modulus mismatch, E$\_$c//E$\_$s/＝1.06∼356 are prepared for the analysis. Hertzian contact test is conducted for producing contact cracks and the acoustic emission detecting technique for measuring the critical load of crack initiation. The implication is that coating thickness and material strength are controllable parameters to prevent the initiation of contact cracks resulted from the elastic modulus mismatch in the hard ceramic coating layer on the soft materials.

Identification of asymmetry and anisotropy of rotor system is important for diagnosis of rotating machinery. Directional frequency response functions (dFRFs) are known to be a powerful tool in effectively detecting the presence of asymmetry or anisotropy. In this paper, an input noise effect of dFRFs for rotors is estimated, when both asymmetry and anisotropy are present. The normalized random errors of the dFRFs are calculated to verify the validity of the method, which is demonstrated by numerical simulation with a simple rotor model.
