Abstract:
To provide a method whereby viscoelasticity of an object can be measured nondestructively and in non-contact fashion in a short time. By this method, elastic waves and light are radiated to an object and the viscoelasticity of an object is measured nondestructively and in non-contact fashion using a shadow change based on a change in the direction of a line normal to the surface of the object. Specifically, the present invention has an elastic wave transmission step for pressurizing or exciting the object by elastic waves and causing a minute displacement of the object surface shape, a photoirradiation step for radiating light to the minutely displaced object surface, an image acquisition step for acquiring a shadow change based on a change in the direction of a line normal to the object surface, and a viscoelasticity estimation step for processing an image of the acquired shadow change and calculating a viscoelasticity.

Abstract:
In an abnormal driving behavior detection system for a vehicle, an obtainer repeatedly obtains an observed value indicative of at least one of a running condition of the vehicle and a driver's driving operation of the vehicle. A mode-probability calculator calculates, each time an observed value is obtained at a given obtaining timing as a target obtained value, a mode probability for each of driving modes as a function of one or more previous observed values. A deviation calculator obtains a predicted observed value for each driving mode using a driver's normal behavior model defined therefor, and calculates a deviation of the target observed value from the predicted observed value for each driving mode. An abnormality determiner determines whether there is at least one driver's abnormal behavior based on the mode probability for each driving mode and the deviation calculated for each driving mode.

Abstract:
An object of this invention is to produce a protein by efficiently culturing plant cells while escaping mRNA translational repression in cultured plant cells under stress caused by lack of conditions essentially required for the growth (e.g., nutrient-starvation stress and hypoxic stress). This invention provides a method for escaping translational repression of a protein encoded by mRNA, the repression being induced by stress due to absence of conditions required for the growth, the method comprising the step of culturing a plant cell transformed with a recombinant DNA molecule encoding mRNA containing 5′ UTR defined in (a) or (b) below, the culturing being carried out under stress due to absence of conditions required for the growth: (a) 5′ UTR having a base sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6; or (b) 5′ UTR having the base sequence of the 5′ UTR of (a) in which one or more bases are replaced, deleted, or added, and which escapes translational repression induced by stress due to absence of conditions required for the growth.
