Diversification of Breastbone Shape in Ratites and Carinates Department of Systems Life Sciences, Graduate School of Systems Life Sciences The breastbone provides an anchor to which the pectoral muscles attach. Because pectoral muscles primarily power the forelimb movement, the breastbones of carinates (flying birds) have a ventral exten [...]
The potential of Taurine as a Supersulfide Donor and Its mechanism of cardiomyocyte aging protection Department of Medicinal Sciences, Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences Aging-induced cardiomyocyte senescence leads to a decline in mitochondrial function, an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS), and a reduction in contractility, ultimately increasing the risk of c [...]
Reliability Evaluation of Machine Learning Models Using Natural Time Series Variations Department of Information Science and Technology, Graduate School of Information Science and Electrical Engineering This research evaluates the reliability of machine learning models using natural time-series variations, such as time shifts, sampling fluctuations, and frequency-band changes. These variations can oc [...]
