Toward the Cross-Institutional Data Integration From Shibboleth Federated LMS
Through this study, we aim to examine a method for data integration in shared Learning Management System (LMS) in authentication federation. We proposed a method of transmitting ePTID and learning data with user’s consent as a method for data integration across institutions. The method is compared with the other existing methods to realize the shared LMS. We discuss the suitable method for next version of GakuNinMoodle and conclude that our requirements are not fully satisfied by a single method
Fast deposition of ZnS thin films by intense pulsed ion beam
A fast deposition technique has been novely developed for the preparation of ZnS thin films by use of an intense pulsed ion beam. The zinc and sulfur plasma have been produced by the irradiation of the intense pulsed beam (~6.6GW/cm\^2^) onto the surface of the ZnS target, which is deposited onto a substrate kept at temperature. The temperature of the plasma has been evaluated to be ~ 1eV. The deposition rate has been estimated to be ~ 2.3 cm/s, which is several orders of magnitude higher than those with any other methods. We have found that the films prepared have a polycrystalline hexagonal structure
The myogenic transcriptional network
Myogenesis has been a leading model for elucidating the molecular mechanisms that underlie tissue differentiation and development since the discovery of MyoD. During myogenesis, the fate of myogenic precursor cells is first determined by Pax3/Pax7. This is followed by regulation of the myogenic differentiation program by muscle regulatory factors (Myf5, MyoD, Myog, and Mrf4) to form muscle tissues. Recent studies have uncovered a detailed myogenic program that involves the RP58 (Zfp238)-dependent regulatory network, which is critical for repressing the expression of inhibitor of DNA binding (Id) proteins. These novel findings contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the muscle differentiation transcriptional program
Data governance functions of the NII Research Data Cloud
<p>This file shows the overview of the data governance functions of the National Institute of Informatics (NII) Research Data Cloud (RDC). It introduces challenges in research data management (RDM) which we identified and mechanisms of functions as solutions. It also gives an idea about the implementation of research data policy to monitor the compliance of the RDM state with the policy.</p>
