  • We have been developing a method to build one-step-ahead prediction models for time series using genetic programming (GP). Our model building method consists of two stages. In the first stage, functional forms of the models are inherited from their parent models through crossover operation of GP. In the second stage, the parameters of the newborn model arc optimized based on an iterative method just like the back propagation. The proposed method has been applied to various kinds of time series problems. An application to the seismic ground motion was presented in the KACC'99, and since then the method has been improved in many aspects, for example, additions of new node functions, improvements of the node functions, and new exploitations of many kinds of mutation operators. The new ideas and trials enhance the ability to generate effective and complicated models and reduce CPU time. Today, we will present a couple of financial applications, espc:cially focusing on gold price prediction in Tokyo market.

  • New photoinitiator systems of dimethylphenacylsulfonium butyltnphenylborate (DMPSB) as a donor-acceptor initiator and styryl dyes have been investigated for free radical polymerization of an acrylate with visible lasers (488, 514 and 647 nm). DMPSB was able to be sensitized by many styryl dyes. When polymerized with pentaerythrithol triacrylate, the sensitivity value of the photosensitive layer containing DMPSB was higher than that of an tetrabutylammonium butyltnphenylborate (TBAB) as an electron donating initiator or a dimethylphenacylsulfonium tetrafiuoroborate (DMPS) as an electron accepting initiator. The sensitivity values of the photosensitive layer containing the photoinitiator systems had a close relation to the free energy changes between the excited singlet styryl dyes and DMPSB.

  • Bulk nanobubble is one of the nanoscopic gaseous state found in the solution. We measured transient absorption spectra of eosin Y in the excited triplet state ($^3EY^{2-*}$) to elucidate differences in the dissipation process of the bulk nanobubble of oxygen molecule at air pressure. The time dependence of the oxygen dissipation process was classified three time domains (P1, P2 and P3). The comparison of ordinary bubbling method gave different results at P3 in contrast to similar results at P1 and P2, indicating the existence of characteristic dissolving state in the case of nanobubble.

  • The purpose of this study is to examine a theoretical framework for the interactions of learning in a small group setting of mathematical problem solving. Many researchers already have described the theoretical background for the small group settings in problem solving. However, most of the literatures merely have reported findings of achievement and rising of test scores. They ignored the observation of process taken during the small group work and have not determined how various psychological, social and academic effects are created. As results of the study, two types, mutual collaboration and asymmetric collaboration, of interactions are observed as the interactions of learning, which are conceived as the cores of authentic mathematical activities.

  • The properties of two cultivars of japonica rice, Odae (early ripening variety) and Ilpum (late ripening variety), were compared. They grew on MS (Murashige and Skoog) medium but the growth of both cultivars was strongly retarded by 50 mM or more salt. There was no clear difference between the growths of seedlings of the two cultivars for the first 24 h after germination. The amylopectin chain-length profiles of the two cultivars did not differ significantly, and amylopectin content was estimated at $16.0{\pm}0.4%$ in cv. Odae and $16.4{\pm}0.4%$ in cv. Ilpum. A total of 114 RAPD (randomly amplified polymorphic DNA) fragments ranging from 0.4 to 2.5 kb were isolated from the two cultivars, 61 from cv. Odae and 53 from cv. Ilpum, indicating that there is little genetic variation between them.

  • There are several methods to implement the logical machine reasoning such as a frame theory and a production system of artificial intelligence. And these algorithms can explain the obtained result through the inference processes. However, emotional (KANSEI) patterns are not so easily implement. One of reason is that some emotional expression is the result of process from unconscious level to conscious level, and not easily identified the original unconscious causes. Therefore, a function of KANSEI database needs to structuralize unconscious level. Our approach is to develop the computerized counseling support system which can structuralize the unconscious brain functions from the view point of the psychology with focusing physiological and emotional responses. Especially, development of the algorithm that can form the network from unconscious to conscious using the image recollection is the application of the structured association technique (SAT). The developed system was implemented on the Web using CGI and emotional network database.

  • In order to elucidate the human impact on the distribution of cellular slime molds, samples were collected from 3 types of forest ; natural forests(Mt. Deogyu and Mt. Tsukuba), semi-natural forests(Seoul Great Zoo and Tama Zoo), artificial forests(Seoul National University and Tokyo Gakugei University) .The distribution of cellular slime molds in mountains was different from that of zoo and universities. In mountains, endemic species was occurred and species diversity was higher than in zoo and universities. In zoo and universities disturbed by human, Dictyostelium sphaerocephalum was occurred with higher importance value than in mountains. 6 species were selected to investigate the effect of temperature on froctification; Polysphondylium canlidum, D. delicatum. D. firmibasis, D. sphaerocephalum P. violaceum, D. purpureum. P. violaceum and D. purpureum had an optimum temperature for fructification around 25~3O˚C but the others around 22~23˚C. The degree of sensitivity to temperature was as follows; P. candidum >D. lelicatum > D. firmibasis > D. sphaerocephalum > P. violaceum > D. purpureum. Key words: Human impact, Cellular slime molds, Occurrence and distribution, fructification, Dictylostelium delicatum. Dictyostelium sphaerocephalum.

  • This paper deals with interaction between two bubbles or particles and flow around them, visualized by a moving object flow image analyzer(MOFIA) consisting of a three-dimensional (3D) moving object image analyzer(MOIA) and two-dimensional particle image velocimetry(PIV). The experiments were carried out for rising bubbles or particles of various densities, sizes, and/or shapes in stagnant water in a vertical pipe. In the MOFIA employed, 3D-MOIA was used to measure particles or bubbles motion and PIV was used to measure fluid flow, The experimental results showed that the interaction was characterized by the shape, size and density of two particles or bubbles.

  • To obtain direct evidence for thed involvement of C-AB13, a carrot (Daucus carota L.) homolog of VPI/Ab13, seed-specific transcription factor, in the acquisition of desiccation tolerance carrot non-embryogenic cells (NC) in which the C-AB13 gene was expressed ectopically was prepared. Non-transgenic NC, in which expression of C-AB13 was not detected, did not exhibit desiccation tolerance even after treatment with abscisic acid (ABA). In transgenic NC that expressed C-AB13, embryo-specific ABA-inducible genes (ECP genes) were expressed upon ABA-treatment. Furthermore, the transgenic NC became desiccation-tolerant upon ABA-treatment, but not tolerate desiccation without ABA-treatment. These results provide direct evidence for the involvement of C-AB13 in the ABA-induced acquisition of desiccation tolerance.

  • The feasibility of preparing superconducting $Y_1Ba_2Cu_3O_y$ films on metallic substrate was exmined in an attempt to fabricate a tape conductor. Deposition methods employed were sputtering, laser ablation, and plasma flash evaporation. Although zero resistance temperature (Tc) is achieved above 90 K, critical current density values (Jc) obtained so far is still low as compared with those reported in the films grown on single crystal substrates. This may be caused by the misalignment of the crystal structure of the films on metal substrates. A further improvement if Jc for highly-oriented polycrystalling films is being investigated at the present time.
