Abstract—This paper examines an optimum type
of dialogue between teacher and a humanoid robot, particularly
appropriate for the situation where the students listen to the
teacher-robot dialogue in a classroom. We extracted the types of
dialogues from the comedy talks, the plot of movies, and the
science shows. The generalized structure of the dialogue is a
series of activation, main idea, and feedback. To interact with
students and to retrieve information from a web learning system,
the activation and feedback are assigned to the teacher, while
the robot took part in the main idea.In the
activation phase, the teacher provides a topic keyword to
trigger the robot to make a URL query request on the topic.
Topic Maps ontology of the web learning system enables the robot
to talk on the topic in the main idea phase. Finally, the
teacher makes the point clear in the feedback phase to set up
interest and fun of the topic. The teacher interacts with the
students in the activation or feedback phase.

Abstract—The author proposes a method to
construct a stochastic differential equation (SDE) describing a
non-Gaussian process in a stationary state. A static potential
function that represents the temporal average can be obtained
from the time series after preprocessing and be expressed in a
dual space. SDEs have been proposed as mathematical models of
body sway. However, directional perturbation of the galvanic
vestibular stimulation promotes periodic changes in the
potential function in a component. Therefore, we discuss a new
method to construct a SDE without preprocessing, which is
different for each component.

Abstract—Educational effect of STEM education
especially a design competition for students in the field of
nanotechnology is discussed in this paper. Molecular design
competition BIOMOD is founded in 2011, now becomes an
influential competition attracting many young generations to DNA
nanotechnology. The background of the competition, its structure
and an example of awarded project is introduced to demonstrate
educational effects of the competition.
4. 【Discussion】The Longitude Problem as

-With Special Application to the Island of St Helena-

Abstract—Determination of the longitude is
the unification of space and time. The course note is presented
to understand the points in the longitude problem within the
framework of 16-8 Centuries. Establishing local time is
difficult, because there are leads and lags of the Sun’s
culminations, known as ‘Equation of Time.’ The Sun’s motion in
the celestial sphere is nonlinear because of geometrical and
gravitational reasons. The novel algorithm is proposed to get
the rigorous Equation of Time.Three brilliant
astronomers had stayed in St Helena. They themselves determined
the longitude of the island by different methods. By use of
their and other observations of astronomical events the new
calculations are available. These are the sources of the
exercises. Edmond Halley states the island in 7 degrees west of
London. There are three observations of the Transit of Mercury
on 7th November 1677: 5o53’21”W by Towneley data and 6o26’44”W
by Avignon data. Nevil Maskelyne determined the longitude to be
5o49’W based on eclipses of Jupiter’s satellites in 1761. Using
observations of the total lunar eclipse on 18th May 1761 at the
island, Cape and Stockholm, one obtains 5o49’05”W. Manuel John
Johnson reached the conclusion of 5o43’39”W by the lunar
distance method (1830-33). Using observations of the total solar
eclipse on 27th July 1832 at the island, one obtains 5o27’51”W.
Those results may reveal errors of sorts, or the island may be
drifting towards Africa.

Abstract—Much of early research on chaos from
the viewpoint of physics was performed using spatially confined
convective systems. The technique and criterion to determine
whether a nonperiodic oscillation appearing in such convective
system is chaos have been established. In spatially extended
convective systems, on the other hand, spatiotemporal chaos
occurs. In contrast to chaos, there is no unified definition for
spatiotemporal chaos due to the diversity. A unified viewpoint
for three kinds of spatiotemporal chaos in electroconvection of
nematic liquid crystals is presented through information
reduction for the spatial patterns.

Abstract—Evaluation is required to hand down
expertise and skills. In this study, we discuss the automatic
algorithm to help diagnosing and evaluating severity of a sleep
disorder.The rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep
behavior disorder (RBD) is well-known REM sleep without atonia
involves increased muscle activity, as seen on electromyography
channels during polysomnography. Although close follow-up of
patients’ recovery process is required and several visual
inspection methods have been developed for the PSG reading,
clear diagnostic criteria for assessing RBD severity have not
been established because of the complicated nature of the
procedure. In this study, we constructed automated algorithms
based on the AASM scoring manual, Montplaisir et al., and
SINBAR. The results evaluated by the automated algorithms were
compared to the diagnosis by the visual inspection method.
Nonlinear classification analysis was also employed to examine
whether the healthy subjects group was significantly different
from the group of suspected RBD patients. The misclassification
rate of the SNBAR algorithm was found to be lower than that of
the other algorithms.
