This class tries to enable students to understand the position of Japan in the modern and contemporary eras and to acquire policy-oriented thinking in the future. Every week different speakers come and talk about their own topics related to Japan.
First year students after finishing "Policy Management Studies" or "Environment and Information Studies" are welcomed.
Smart devices, such as smart phones and tablets, have experienced rapid growth in the past few years, and has opened various possibilities of innovation in fields of research and development.
This course will focus on application development through Unity engine for both ios and Android systems. Students will first learn about the fundamentals of Unity engine, then learn how to utilize features available on smart devices such as touch sensor,accelerometer, GPS, network, etc. Each student is expected to create a smart device application by him/herself at the end of this course as a final project.
In this lecture, students who have never conducted molecular biology experiments will be explained from the handling of laboratory equipment so that they can start research smoothly. In addition to simply explaining the experimental methods, I will also lecture my own research experiences and failures. Originally, research is to acquire actual knowledge and skills by being scolded by faculty members and seniors in the laboratory, and it takes a long time. In my domestic and international research life, there was no class to transfer systematic techniques and know-how, and I have never heard of such a story. Therefore, many students are making similar mistakes. In this class, I will make use of such experiences, incorporate my own research experiences and failures, and generously convey information useful for efficient research of students.
The course will cover mathematical modeling techniques for simulating the behavior of biological systems at the sub-cellular level. Particular focus will be given to modeling various molecular and cellular processes. (i.e. enzyme reaction, population dynamics of bacteria, signal transduction in the cell, electrophysiological dynamics of ion channels, etc.) Topics include methods for mathematical modeling and computer simulation, design of simulation experiments, and analysis of results. Students will be expected to learn about:
Digital electronic circuits are the underlying basis of the computer. And analog electronic circuits are also essential to our daily life, which have been used in devices for human-computer interaction. There is no difference of physical characteristic between the both circuits if you look at the micro point of view. But looking at the macro point of view, the both circuits have clear differences. Analog circuits are designed focusing on the effective use of electricity as energy, while digital circuits are used for transmitting and processing of electrical information. This course trains students to learn the basics of both of the analog electronic circuit and the digital electronic circuit systematically, which are essentials to understand computer architecture, sensors and electronic actuators.
This course is designed for those who are in the lower intermediate level of Japanese or who have completed the Japanese Intensive Elementary 2.
Students will practice reading, writing, listening, and speaking while studying grammar, vocabulary, and kanji. They will also study to be able to use Japanese well by making presentations, writing essays, and reviewing grammar.
Basic 2 is offered for students who have completed Basic 1 and want to learn Arabic twice a week at their own pace. Students will acquire basic vocabulary and grammar knowledge, and will be able to have simple daily conversation. Please note that who finish Basic 2 can promote to Intensive 3.
Basic 2 is the continuation of Basic 1. In Basic 2 you will learn more verbs to describe your day to day activities. This class also explore all the four skills and communication skill.
This is a course on U.S. foreign policy with a specific focus on domestic factors/influence which shapes and influences U.S. foreign policy making process. Despite the popular argument of U.S. retreat and decline, U.S. still remains the world's preeminent power. However, it is difficult to deny that U.S. is increasingly becoming an “exhausted power.” The American public has become inward-looking as a result of a decade of excess intervention in the 2000s. The polarization of politics is having a negative effect on U.S. presence on the world stage. Budgetary constraint is limiting the overseas deployment of U.S. forces. The course will try to factor in the domestic constraints in foreign policy making as well as highlight the dynamics of interest group politics that shapes the foreign policy environment in the U.S.
A recent advance in brain measurement and analysis techniques has enabled to read human brain information non-invasively, to uncover brain functions, and to link a brain and a machine/computer. In this class, we will study neural mechanisms of information transmission by action potentials and brain measurement techniques (physical principles, advantages and disadvantages, analysis algorithms) such as EEG, MEG, and MRI. Furthermore, we will focus on recent technologies such as brain machine/computer interfaces and brain decoding.
Approximately three-fourths of the Nobel prize in Physiology or Medicine and half of the Nobel prize in Chemistry have been related to Life Science-Cell Biology. There has been no such academic domain. I think that the reason why Cell Biology is so special is because it has been worked as a driving force to support human society and health. In this class, I am planing to explain some extremely important and epoch making discoveries from the recent 30-years Nobel prize (especially, if it is performed by Japanese scientists).
Measurement and analysis of neural information
We promote basic studies about the human brain by measuring and analyzing neural information and apply the findings to computing, VR/AR, media, health, and so on. Recent advances in non-invasive brain measurement techniques enable us to see the human brain objectively. We study how to clarify the brain mechanism using EEG (electroencephalography), tES (transcranial electrical stimulation), and so on, and promote research to achieve not only good graduation project but also conference presentation and journal publication.
