AbstractIt has been experimentally reported that chemotactic cells exhibit cellular memory, that is, a tendency to maintain the migration direction despite changes in the chemoattractant gradient. In this study, we analyzed a phenomenological model assuming the presence of cellular inertia, as well as a response time in motility, resulting in the reproduction of the cellular memory observed in the previous experiments. According to the analysis, the cellular motion is described by the superposition of multiple oscillative functions induced by the multiplication of the oscillative polarity and motility. The cellular intertia generates cellular memory by regulating phase differences between those oscillative functions. By applying the theory to the experimental data, the cellular inertia was estimated at $$m=3-6$$ m = 3 - 6 min. In addition, physiological parameters, such as response time in motility and intracellular processing speed, were also evaluated. The agreement between the experiemental data and theory suggests the possibility of the presence of the response time in motility, which has never been biologically verified and should be explored in the future.

In this paper, we study the [Formula: see text] form-factors with the light-cone QCD sum rules, where the B-meson light-cone distribution amplitudes are used. In calculations, we observe that the line-shapes of the B-meson light-cone distribution amplitude ϕ+(ω) have significant impacts on the values of the form-factors, and expect to obtain severe constraints on the parameters of the B-meson light-cone distribution amplitudes from the experimental data in the future.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the physiological and psychological effects of chromatic lighting through the subjective experiments. In this paper, we first compared the psychological effects of various illuminance and chromatic lights and confirmed the main effect of light colour on psychological stress. In the monochromatic lights, the green lights were stressless and the red lights were stressful. Among the mixed lights made of two kinds of monochromatic lights, the yellow lights tended to be stressless. We also examined the additivity of psychological stress from the viewpoint of irradiance. The result shows that the additivity could be assumed among blue, red, and their mixed light magenta at the conditions of 53 lx in front of the eyes, however, the additivity of other mixed colour lights needs to be investigated in the future with more experimental data.

It is widely accepted that people can predict the relative imminence of future events. However, it is unknown whether the timing of future events is represented using only a "strength-like" estimate or if future events are represented conjunctively with their position on a mental timeline. We examined how people judge temporal relationships among anticipated future events using the novel Judgment of Anticipated Co-Occurence (JACO) task. Participants were initially trained on a stream of letters sampled from a probabilistically repeating sequence. During test trials, the stream was interrupted with pairs of probe letters and the participants' task was to choose the probe letter they expected to appear in the stream during a lagged target window 4-6 items (4.3-8.5 seconds) in the future. Participants performed above chance as they gained experience with the task. Because the correct item was sometimes the more imminent probe letter and other times the less imminent probe letter, these results rule out the possibility that participants relied solely on thresholding a strength-like estimate of temporal imminence. Rather, these results suggest that participants held 1) temporally organized predictions of the future letters in the stream, 2) a temporal estimate of the lagged target window, and 3) some means to compare the two and evaluate their temporal alignment. Response time increased with the lag to the more imminent probe letter, suggesting that participants accessed the future sequentially in a manner that mirrors scanning processes previously proposed to operate on memory representations in the short-term judgment of recency task.

Debye-Waller factors at different temperatures of four alkali and three noble metals have been computed on the basis of a screened shell phenomenological model. The theoretical values are compared with existing experimental data. Particularly for lithium and potassium, most recent experimental information has been included. A critical examination of the results reveals a satis­factory agreement between the theoretical and experimental findings.

The results of research into the dynamic characteristics of microwave oscillators under the influence of both their own reflected radiation and external synchronising effect are presented. The basic relations for the analysis of signals during fast movement of the target are obtained, when the signal period is comparable to the autodyne response time constants. The results of numerical modelling of the characteristics are confirmed by the experimental data obtained on the example of an oscillator based on the Gunn diode of the 8-mm range.

In 1970, on purely theoretical grounds, all total hadronic total cross-sections were predicted to increase without limit for higher and higher energies. This was contrary to the conventional belief at that time. In 1978, an accurate phenomenological model was formulated for the case of proton–proton and antiproton-proton interactions. The parameters for this model were slightly improved in 1984 using the additional available experimental data. Since then, for 30 years these parameters have not changed. This development, including especially the difficult task of formulating this phenomenological model and the comparison of the predictions of this model with later experimental results, is summarized.

Complete γ-decay in the 12 C (12 C ,γ)24 Mg and 12 C (16 O ,γ)28 Si reactions has been measured at energies close to the Coulomb Barrier using the DRAGON spectrometer and its associated BGO γ-array at the TRIUMF facility. The experimental data show an important feeding of doorway states around 10-11 MeV in both reactions. Comparisons with simulations allow to extract the full capture cross section and the main spin involved in the process. Different models are confronted to the results : completely statistical, semi-statistical with an unique entrance spin and cluster. The resolution of the BGO enables to eliminate a fully statistical scenario but is not enough to disentangle the two remaining scenarii. It is shown that the future PARIS array composed of the recently developed LaBr 3 scintillators will have capabilities to distinguish between these two scenarii.

Recently, many methods and algorithms have been proposed in pre-fetching area. However, pre-fetching integrated with workload scheduling approaches have not been investigated as much. Initially, this thesis reviews the principles of the existing pre-fetching strategies considering latency and cost factor as primary objectives. Later, it focuses on an integrated workload scheduling and pre-fetching model to enhance the performance of response time and minimize the cost. Furthermore, response time and cost problems are formulated and to overcome the total response time and cost problems a heuristic approach is proposed. Integrated model is tested for wide range of variables and, the effects of various parameters such as processing speed and pre-fetcher’s utilization are analysed and compared. Finally, based on the results integrated pre-fetching and workload scheduling model outperforms either of them, individually. Thus, this thesis can contribute to the the new solutions in this area.
