To provide safer anesthesia for animals, I am studying anesthesia-related techniques and nursing interventions that veterinary nurses for companion animals should implement during the peri-anesthetic period (including before, during, and after anesthesia).
Among these, I have investigated focusing on the management of body temperature during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations, which is said to pose many problems even in human medicine.
Also, I am actively researching nursing interventions that can support animals to stay as calm and comfortable as possible in veterinary hospitals.

Quantitative analysis of histopathological changes and brain atrophy using volumetric MRI in BSE prions to cynomolgus macaques. Our results point out that C-BSE and L-BSE infected monkeys could be compatible models of vCJD and sCJD of human.
Administration of the compound in macaques infected with BSE slowed down the development of neurological and psychological symptoms. The de novo rational design of chaperone compounds could lead to therapeutics that can bind to different prion protein strains to ameliorate the pathology of Prion disease.

My research focus on practice of Capacity Development for student’s leadership development and professional development of Faculty and staff at university. I was organized leadership development program and system at “University Network for Global Leadership Development in West Japan” that grants by Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in JAPAN.
And I have collaborated project with many universities approach to administration and curriculum management by supervision and lecture.
In these days, I expand of my research fields on Management of company and Government. And I am carry out research Capacity Development organization members (student, Faculty, staff, officer and more) at empirical research methods that utilized university resources.

We investigate the relationships between the river water chemistry and the geological enviornment. And we study the groundwater flow system of the reclamed land where the samphire grows wild.
In the field of earth science education,We develop the teaching materials which utilized local geological resources.

The overall purpose of my study is to examine the syntheses, structures, and electronic structures of unique complexes containing commodity organic molecules. The concrete target is finding novel complexes out of the combination of commodity organic molecules and commodity metal ions in the periodic table, preparing the crystals (powder or single crystal), determing the X-ray structures, calculating the electronic structures by first principle, and measuring the physical properties (spectroscopic property etc.).

As in the case of Japan, China in modern times had to “modernize” by introducing Western cultures. In Japan acceptance and chewing of Western cultures, in the field of literature, intermittently continued from the latter half of the 19th century to the thirties of the 20th century, whereas in China it was made at once in the 1920s and 1930s at the time of the Republic of China. Lu Xun is its central figure. Through the work of Lu Xun, I am studying how he fought with China’s “modern” and how he tried to get in touch with each other.
As for Lu Xun ‘s ally and the early Communist leaders’ leader Qu Qiubai, I am studying from the viewpoint that Marxism was accepted to China of what kind of form, which was one of the new ideas of the West .
Chinese classical music was developed from folk songs and dramatic music, but in the 1920s it was compiled. About this, we will introduce previous research including demonstration.

The purpose of my study is to clarify metamorhic P-T conditons, supply system of terrigenous clastics, tectonic erosion process and so on from rocks related to ancient subduction and collsion zones, based on field geology, petrology and geochronology. I have worked on the researches with external reserchers.

(1) Probing new physics model via top quark interactions
If we understand behaviors of elementary particles based on the physics models which describes dynamics of elementary particles, we could understand the structure of space nd time (i.e. Universe). I think that top quark plays important roles to probe new physics models describing unknown nature of the elementary particle physics. Therefore, I study top quark interactions.

(2) Development of teaching materials for programming educations
It is not easy for beginners to make programs without learning the grammar of programming language. Thus, we proposed teaching materials for programming educations focusing on studies of algorithms without learning the grammar of programming language. The materials are constructed a visual programming environment Scratch, actual robots and a conversion software which translates from programs made by Scratch to the control code for actual robots. Now, we are evaluating the teaching materials based on statistical analysis of the results of questionnaire gotten from the classes in which the materials are used.

My main study is on German Literature, German Romanticism, and on the filmstudy about Germany and Ireland. I have studied for many years German romantic Literature, especially Novalis, Tieck and Eichendorf. In recent years I have studied German silen film, Friedrich Murnau and Fritz Lang, etc. In pararell with Filmstudy, I am making research on the probaebs of the world.

We are conducting research to return the relationship between both animals and humans to a more natural state by using low and high frequencies to deter roadkill and railkill as well as beast damage control. The low-frequency “InoDon kumaDon” uses sensors to drive away wild boars, bears, etc. trapped there, and the high-frequency “Hyper Deer Sonic” uses a timer to run for a certain time and is used on deer, birds, etc., with great results. There is no effect on other animals or humans. The high-frequency type is available in vehicle-mounted and installed types, while the low-frequency type is only available in the installed type due to the large diameter of the speaker. However, a portable type, Hyper Deer Sonic, is currently under development and is highly anticipated by people in the forestry and mountaineering industries.

(1)I have been conducting research on Virginia Woolf, who is one of the greatest writers of the 20th century. I have been studying her representative works from the viewpoint of psychoanalysis, especially Carl Gustav Jung’s analytical psychology. In addition, my recent research interests include history, society and culture described in her works.
(2)I am interested in English language education. I have been working on the use of films (including anime), graded readers and literary works in EFL classrooms. My research focuses on students’ motivation in language learning.

Our laboratory has developed molecular and crystal structure models made from inexpensive and readily available materials, including cardboard, electronic components, and LEGO blocks.

In statistical inference, testing for normality is one of the most fundamental problems traditionally. The below left figure is the probability density function of the normal distribution. We have obtained a grahical method of testing for multivariate normality based on the pricipal component score and an approximate joint distribution of sample skewness and kurtosis. We illustrate our method for Fisher’s iris data in the below right figure.

In my thesis, I proposed “Balance Theory” from the viewpoint of both formalism and functionalism. I am mainly interested in the following leading questions:What causes focus movements?, which elements can be moved?, where is the landing site?, why is the movement operation is restricted in a certain environment?, and how do we explain the grammatical gradience？ In my assumption, natural languages are required to have well-balanced structutres. When the structure in question is imbalanced, a focal element is triggered in order to make the structure balanced. In the case of English, the landing site should be the edge of the sentence, that is, the end poistion or the top position, depending on the kinds of sentences. I hope we can explain as many phenomema as possible by using this simple idea.

I am developing the teaching materials for the science education. The university students who do not understand contents of the science studied at elementary and junior high school exist in a considerable ratio. Therefore I survey the actual situation of the science literacy of students, analyze the weak point and develop the teaching materials based on this analysis. In addition, I have carried out many scientific events and lectures for children and citizens in local community with students. I am studying the teaching materials and human resource development for such a science communication activities.

A subject of my research in the cryptographic theory is development of new cryptographic system which prevents attacks of quantum computer which has potential to grow up into big threat. Its security analysis in theoretical and experimental manner is also important, therefore, for multivariate public-key cryptography in particular, I hold a cryptography solving contest, MQ challenge, as one of organizers, and the contest is released to public on a website as follows.

I also study not only simple cryptography with normal function, and also cryptography with high-function like keeping addition in the encrypted world.
A subject of my research in the number theory is the automorphic representation which is related to unsolved problems, Langland conjecture and Arthur conjecture.

Various studies of solid state physics are researched using cryogenic technology, liquid-helium and liquid-nitrogen.
For example, very strong electromagnet is constructed by myself using superconductive technology. This equipment will be used for a microorganism study.
