La structure du pouvoir impérial au Japon du viie au xie siècle
La monarchie constitue un des thèmes majeurs des recherches historiques au Japon. J’ai consacré mes conférences au système du tennô en essayant de montrer en quoi ce système est différent du pouvoir dans les sociétés médiévales européennes et quels sont les points communs entre le Japon et l’Occident. J’ai traité cette question sous forme de quatre thèmes
Atomic cluster expansion force field based thermal property material design with density functional theory level accuracy in non-equilibrium molecular dynamics calculations over sub-million atoms
Non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) techniques are widely used for
investigating lattice thermal conductivity. Recently, machine learning force
fields (MLFFs) have emerged as a promising approach to enhance the precision in
NEMD simulations. This study is aimed at demonstrating the potential of MLFFs
in realizing NEMD calculations for large-scale systems containing over 100,000
atoms with density functional theory (DFT)-level accuracy. Specifically, the
atomic cluster expansion (ACE) force field is employed, using Si as an example.
The ACE potential incorporates 4-body interactions and features a training
dataset consisting of 1000 order structures from first-principles molecular
dynamics calculations, resulting in a highly accurate vibrational spectrum.
Moreover, the ACE potential can reproduce thermal conductivity values
comparable with those derived from DFT calculations via the Boltzmann equation.
To demonstrate the application of MLFFs to systems containing over 100,000
atoms, NEMD simulations are conducted on thin films ranging from 100 nm to 500
nm, with the 100 nm films exhibiting defect rates of up to 1.5%. The results
show that the thermal conductivity deviates by less than 5% from DFT or
theoretical results in both scenarios, which highlights the ability of the ACE
potential in calculating the thermal conductivity on a large scale with
DFT-level accuracy. The proposed approach is expected to promote the
application of MLFFs in various fields and serve as a feasible alternative to
virtual experiments. Furthermore, this work demonstrates the potential of MLFFs
in enhancing the accuracy of NEMD simulations for investigating lattice thermal
conductivity for systems with over 100,000 atoms.Comment: 24 pages including with supporting infomatio
Distributed trajectory generation for multiple manipulators using virtual dynamics
This paper proposes a trajectory generation method for multiple manipulators through cooperative and competitive interactions among subsystems corresponding to each manipulator. The method can generate the trajectories of multiple manipulators in a parallel and distributed way using virtual dynamics. The virtual dynamics for each manipulator result in virtual interaction forces which represent the interaction among manipulators. It is shown that the method is effective not only for simple cooperative tasks such as positioning a common object, but also for more complicated tasks including relative motions among manipulators
Malacoplakia of probable retroperitoneal origin.
A case of extravesical malacoplakia, the first case in Japan, is described in detail. The patient was a 61-year-old woman with a right flank mass. Radiologically, the mass was thought to be of the renal origin. Surgically, however, the tumor was found attached not only to the cortical surface but extended to the retroperitoneum and psoas muscle. Pathological examination confirmed the lesion to be malacoplakia characterized by the presence of von Hansemann cells and Michaelis-Gutmann bodies.</p
