\\\"GEOMATE_Khin\\\"
\\n
\\n
\\n

Purpose of the Research

\\n
\\n
The primary objective of this research is to reduce uncertainties in chemical grouting penetration behavior caused by ground heterogeneity, thereby enhancing the reliability of liquefaction countermeasures in seismically active regions including Japan, Myanmar, and Thailand. To quantitatively assess penetration risks posed by low-permeability zones, the study developed an integrated approach combining FEM analysis's detailed evaluation capabilities with AI's flexible prediction performance. This integration enables relatively rapid and highly accurate predictions under complex ground conditions, contributing to more efficient design and construction of ground improvement methods. The framework presented in this research aspires to serve as a foundation for advancing sustainable infrastructure disaster prevention initiatives across these earthquake-prone regions.
\\n


Research Summary

\\n
\\n

This distinguished research proposes an innovative evaluation method that integrates Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis with artificial intelligence (AI) models to examine the influence of low-permeability zones on chemical grouting penetration behavior in heterogeneous sandy soils. The FEM analysis successfully demonstrated that the proximity of low-permeability zones significantly affects grouting flow velocity and distribution patterns, enabling risk assessment through simplified regression equations. The AI models (neural networks and gradient boosting) achieved impressive prediction accuracy with R2 = 0.849 for penetration range. Notably, even when low-permeability zones comprised 5.5% of the area, average filling rates remained excellent at 94.5% (FEM) and 96% (AI). Under the most challenging conditions, these rates maintained 81% and 83% respectively, while AI predictions were completed in approximately 2 seconds, demonstrating strong potential for practical applications. This methodology represents a valuable contribution toward enhancing the reliability of ground improvement techniques.

Future Prospects 

\\n

Looking ahead, the framework demonstrated in this research is expected to further promote the utilization of digital technologies in geotechnical engineering. The integrated FEM-AI methodology will be validated through field experiments and ultimately developed into a system capable of real-time prediction. Additionally, by incorporating unsaturated soil behavior and grouting rheological properties, the approach may be extended to accommodate a broader range of ground conditions. Through these efforts, this work aims to contribute to improving infrastructure disaster prevention reliability in earthquake-prone Japan, Myanmar, and Thailand, fostering sustainable social infrastructure development in these regions. With an eye toward international standardization, the research team is committed to advancing the foundation for the evolution of ground improvement methodologies that can benefit communities across Southeast Asia and beyond.

Purpose of the Research

\\n
\\n

my aims research is to investigate the electronic and magnetic properties of λ-(BETS)2GaCl4 under physical and chemical pressure in order to establish its general P-T phase diagram.

Research Summary

\\n
\\n

The superconductor is one of the milestones of modern physics. If applicable at room temperature it will resolve green energy since it conducts electricity without energy loss. In the superconducting (SC) state the conducting electrons become pairs, known as the Cooper pair and they are in the condensation state. There are two types called conventional and unconventional superconductors. For the conventional superconductor, the formation of Cooper pair is mediated by phonon explained by BCS theory, whereas in the unconventional superconductor, the Cooper pair formation still under active investigation, but the strong scenario is that involving the magnetic fluctuation mediated the Cooper pair. In the unconventional types, the research on establishing pressure-temperature (P-T) phase diagram has been studied intensively to understand the mechanism of organic superconductivity. For example, P-T phase diagram of so-called (TMTSF)2X series and κ-(ET)2X series have been widely studied. On the other hand the phase diagram of λ-type family is still an active research. So far, the latest P-T phase diagram of λ-(D)2GaCl4 (D=ET, STF, BETS) has been reported which shows that the λ-(BETS)2GaCl4 shows its intriguing properties such as the superconductivity appear in ambient pressure unlike other organics superconductors, for example in (TMTSF)2PF6 or k-HgBr. The research on establishing P-T phase diagram of λ-(BETS)2GaCl4 gain much interest since the behavior of the metallic state is differs with that of other non-Fermi liquid system like high-Tc superconductors , (TMTSF)2PF6 or k-HgBr. Therefore, my aims research is to investigate the electronic and magnetic properties of λ-(BETS)2GaCl4 under physical and chemical pressure in order to establish its general P-T phase diagram.

Future Prospects 

\\n

It might be helpful to understand the mechanism of Cooper pair formation in the unconventional superconductors, in which might be showing universality among other unconventional types in organic superconductors in term of its metallic properties.

Impacts of Typhoon Odette on Road Infrastructure in Central Visayas Region, Philippines

\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\\"JSCE-Certificate_Danielle\\\"
\\n
\\n
\\n

Purpose of the Research

\\n
\\n

The purpose of this research is to determine which district in the Central Visayas Region was the most impacted by damage caused on the national road infrastructures by Typhoon Odette in 2021 and to understand the disaster risk potential of the different districts from the physical and financial perspective.

Research Summary

\\n
\\n

A damage impact assessment was conducted in this study, and it was found that districts Cebu 4th (road), Cebu 5th (bridge), and Bohol 3rd (bridge) were the most severely impacted by physical and financial damage inflicted by Typhoon Odette. To ensure discrepancies in district sizes are accounted for, the severity of the impact should not only be measured directly by the number of damage events and the estimated cost of the damage but also in relation to its ratio to the amount of infrastructure in the district. The analysis of the study can be used as a reference by decision-makers and planners in prioritizing areas with utmost concern while ensuring an equitable and efficient distribution of funds allocated towards maintenance and disaster management responsive to the distinctive requirements and vulnerabilities of every district.

Future Prospects 

\\n

The awareness of the potential disaster risk of the area may contribute to the substantial reduction of damage to critical infrastructures and financial losses in the event of a disaster. This may serve as a planning tool in effectively identifying vulnerable districts to aid in decision-making when allocating resources and prioritizing areas to enhance disaster preparedness, appropriate mitigation, and timely maintenance. Thus, ensuring safe, resilient, and sustainable road infrastructures for the society.

Title of Presentation
Investigating the current implementation of Employer’s Information Requirement in BIM-applied infrastructure projects in Vietnam

\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\\"web_Huong\\\"
\\n
\\n
\\n

Purpose of the Research

\\n
\\n

Building Information Modeling (BIM) offers significant benefits beyond visualization in construction project management. To leverage BIM effectively, employers must clearly define information requirements from the outset. These requirements, outlined in the Exchange Information Requirements (EIR), facilitate collaboration among stakeholders. However, determining the employer's EIR can be challenging due to organizational and social constraints, especially in early-stage BIM adoption countries such as Vietnam. This study aims to investigate specific issues with Vietnam employers' EIR provision through the analysis of bidding documents for BIM-applied projects. The analysis refers to the Center for Digital Built Britain's EIR guidance developed according to the principles of ISO 19650.

\\n
 
\\n

Research Summary

\\n

The aim of this study is to investigate the current state of EIR provision in Vietnam. To achieve this, a four-step methodology is conducted, involving a literature review of EIR concept, framework selection for analysis, EIR document analysis, and identification of key issues. Firstly, the review of EIR guidelines and previous studies identified three primary concepts of EIR, based on the British BIM standard PAS 1192, the international standard ISO 19650, and the ontology-based EIR concept (OntEIR). EIR outlined in ISO 19650 and the Center for Digital Built Britain's EIR guidance serve as the primary reference framework for this study. Subsequently, the study collected 15 bidding documents for Vietnam BIM-applied projects on the Ministry of Planning and Investment's National Bidding Network System. EIR documents for Vietnam BIM-applied bidding packages are examined under each information requirement that corresponds to the three parts of the Center for Digital Built Britain's EIR guidance, including the information requirements and the project information standards, production methods, and procedures. After the analysis of EIR documents, the study indicates three key issues with employers' EIR provision for BIM projects in Vietnam. Firstly, employers do not fully consider Organizational Information Requirements (OIR), Asset Information Requirements (AIR), and Project Information Requirements (PIR) when defining EIRs. Secondly, EIRs for BIM projects in Vietnam lack specific requirements, particularly in terms of information containers, metadata naming, encoding, and classification rules, making it challenging to implement CDE alongside existing information sharing and approval processes. Lastly, the level of information development is not yet fully required in terms of the amount of information (data) contained/linked to the model (LOI). This has an impact on how employers assess the quality of the handover model.

Future Prospects 

\\n

Research into EIR formation is a foundation for effective BIM project management. Firstly, a strong emphasis on purposeful information procurement will play a pivotal role. In this context, the sequence of information requirements will be interconnected, with OIR serving as an input for AIR and/or PIR, while AIR and/or PIR in turn contribute to the EIR formation for each procurement package. A comprehensive consideration of OIR, AIR, and PIR in the EIR formation process will prevent unnecessary information requirements and necessitate a higher level of information development.　Moreover, developing standardized EIR templates for all projects will be challenging due to the interconnected nature of EIR, PIR, and/or AIR. Therefore, EIR template development should be categorized based on project types, such as civil engineering projects or transportation projects, or funding sources, such as ODA-funded projects, public investment projects, or PPP projects. This approach will ensure that developed EIR templates are more practical and easier to implement. Additionally, specialized EIRs are required to accommodate international BIM projects involving parties with varying BIM capabilities and maturity levels. This necessitates close collaboration among project stakeholders to develop a unified set of EIR standards tailored to the specific needs of each project.

To demonstrate a cost-effective method for quantification of copper ions in water using a smartphone platform
 
\\n


Research Summary

\\n

Pollution of water with heavy metals (HMs) is one of the most common environmental problem occurring around the world. Consumption of water with HMs concentration above the WHO limits results in the short and long-term health effects. Especially vulnerable are children living near HMs mining sites. In such areas, contemporary chemical analysis is out of reach due to costs and required expertise. Under international collaborative Africa-Japan SusMine JST project our group have been working on the development of smartphone-enabled method for quantification of copper ions in water sources. With Dr. Rozak strong commitment and Phoom help we were able to establish quantification of copper ions in the range of 2-15 mg/L using smartphone as optical platform.  In April 2024 we demonstrated the method to the students in the Senior Secondary High School in Selebi-Phikwe copper mining town in Botswana. A series of online lectures have been delivered to teach concepts of chemical analysis with smartphones. 

Future Prospects 

\\n

To expand smartphone-enabled chemical analysis to medical diagnostics, emerging pollutants and food security in resource-poor areas. To reach and educate youth in Africa about potential of smartphone analytics.

 To improve the functionality of a hands-free wearable assistive system for visually impaired individuals by focusing on providing effective navigation guidance in outdoor environments
 
\\n
\\n


Research Summary

\\n

Visually impaired individuals face challenges in navigating due to obstacles and terrain differences, such as identifying stationary and moving obstacles and being aware of terrain differences. To meet their needs, there is a growing demand for wearable assistive devices that can help gain their confidence and promote independent living. Our research enhances video-based wearable assistive devices for precise outdoor navigation, focusing on detecting and avoiding water puddles. Water puddles are the main obstacles being considered here since they can be a significant hazard for visually impaired individuals due to their unpredictable and hidden nature. The proposed system combines video-based obstacle detection with dynamic path planning algorithms, and a text-to-speech conversion system to provide comprehensive, personalized voice-based navigation instructions. A key innovation is an adaptive voice feedback system offering step-by-step guidance, promoting independent and confident navigation for visually impaired individuals.

Future Prospects

Purpose of the Research

\\n

Research on superconductivity. This is basic research on superconductivity based on organic materials that are not alloys or ceramics.

Research Summary

\\n

This study revealed that some superconducting properties of BETS, a superconductor composed of organic molecules based on carbon and selenium, are similar to those of a series of copper oxide superconductors known as famous high-temperature superconductors.

Future Prospects 

\\n

Superconducting materials are used not only as materials for solving energy problems but also as computing elements in quantum computers, but there are still many aspects of the mechanism of superconductivity that remain unclear. The similarities between the superconducting properties exhibited by the copper oxides and organic materials, which appear to be completely different at first glance, are expected to help unravel the mysteries of the mechanism of superconductivity. Furthermore, we believe that this may lead to design guidelines for new superconducting materials.

“Central Vision based Super-resolution for 360-Degree Videos”

\\n

With the rapid development of VR technology, 360-degree video is gradually coming into public view. Compared with normal video, it can bring a better immersive experience to the user with the trade-off of a huge bandwidth and transmission latency. Many studies choose to transmit low-resolution video frames to solve those problems and use super-resolution on the client side to reconstruct the resolution of the whole frame. However, in those methods, computational latency caused by super-resolution process of either a whole video frame or viewport portion of a frame, is critical problem. In this paper, the idea of central vision based super resolution is considered in 360-degree video streaming. Particularly, we adopt FOCAS - a super resolution method using foveated rendering for normal 2D video, to 360-degree video. We conduct an experiment in order to verify the effectiveness of human central vision. The experimental results show that it is able to reduce the computational latency by 82% while maintaining a competitive visual quality compared to existing super-resolution methods.

【Purpose of the Research】
As a professor of humanities in the Innovative Global Program (IGP) in the College of Engineering at Shibaura Institute of Technology (SIT), I have always been interested in quantitatively examining the impact on students' learning of introducing humanities modules within the framework of an engineering education syllabus. This paper investigates the learning outcomes of students who took the 'Science and Religion in Japan' course in Academic Year 2023. The IGP is an English degree program running within the College of Engineering at SIT. In addition to being a popular module with IGP, this course which covers some lesser-known parts of Japanese history has also been well received by international students at SIT. Hence, this research also has the effect of measuring the learning outcomes of international students. The 'Science and Religion in Japan' course takes an interdisciplinary approach combining humanities, philosophy, and engineering modules. The class comprises students mainly from Europe, Asia, and South America, and therefore class discussion is conducted through a racial equity lens with students participating in the conversation from diverse standpoints. In addition, the course is designed in a way that challenges students' logical thinking and creativity, offering an at-times critical perspective on the conventional view of Japanese history.

【Research summary】
SIT aims to foster engineers with 'global competence'. Global competence refers to the skills necessary to address the sorts of highly complex issues that engineers will encounter in their careers, within the context of our globalized society. We used the MGUDS-S assessment tool to examine the global competence scores of students before and after the program; the results observed show that participants’ average global competence scores increased after taking the ‘Science and Religion in Japan’ course.

【Future Prospects】
We aim to promote broader collaboration between the disciplines of humanities and engineering, specifically by developing a 'Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL)' program to run as part of the Innovative Global Program at SIT.

Purpose of the Research
This research aims to study the sustainable urban mobility policy in Indonesia, Cambodia, and Laos. The goal is to better understand the policy by reviewing the objective of sustainable urban mobility policy, analyzing the challenges during the policy implementation, and finally analyze the progress action achieved from the policy.

\\n


Research Summary
Policy is fundamental to sustainable mobility development activities. However, enhancing policy coherence is one of the most challenges in achieving sustainable transport. To find out the research objective, three methodologies are used in this research. First, STP marketing is known as the comparison tool to show where the policy objective, goal, and strategy position while comparing to other country’s policies. Second, SWOT methodology helps where interpreted the qualitative survey into Strengths, Weaknesses, Threats, and Opportunities. Third, TOWS analysis, this framework is functional for strategy development by using the SWOT analysis result. Six indicators from three pillars of Sustainable Development (social; environmental; and economic), along with the three frameworks from the UN Paris Agreement (financial, technology, and capacity-building) define Sustainability Mobility in this research.

\\n


Future Prospects 
This research hopes to support useful information for the decision-makers to reflect on the existing policy objective regarding sustainable transport. Policymakers can better understand the challenges of policy procurement and achievements from the policy both from the direct group and indirect group, which can lead to the possibility of policy development for sustainable mobility in the future.  Moreover, as Indonesia, Cambodia, and Laos share similarities in facing urban mobility challenges and the country’s status, hence other developing countries can utilize this information as a case study as well.

\\n■ purpose of the research
The recent development of membrane in reverse osmosis has been extensively explored by the effective separation. However, reverse osmosis membranes for organic solvent separation require further development. Thus, the development of hydrophobic zeolite membranes, such as MFI membranes, for organic solvent separation is very important. By considering the optimum conditions in preparing the membranes, MFI membranes were used to elucidate their organic solvent (methanol/toluene mixture) separation performances in this study.
 
The synthesis conditions that can affect the MFI membrane performances are substrate, seed crystal size, synthesis time, and silica/alumina ratio. After determining these optimum conditions, high methanol flux and separation factor can be achieved in the reverse osmosis and pervaporation system.

Hydrophobic MFI membranes have a great potential in organic solvent separation in order to promote sustainability in the petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and agrochemical industries.

\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n Purpose of the Research\\n
The current energy demand, together with all the well-known issues linked to it, requires to find new routes to produce and to save it. Thermoelectricity (TE) is a promising method for energy recovery from wasted heat. The efficiency of a TE material\\nis evaluated by a dimensionless figure of merit ZT, which is defined as ZT=(S2σ/κ)T ,where S is the Seebeck coefficient, σ is the electrical conductivity, κ is the thermal conductivity and Tthe absolute temperature.\\n
The purpose of the proposed research is to apply a panoscopic approach in order to improve TE properties of the system Smy(FexNi1-x)4Sb12 for both bulks and thin films. Main efforts will be focused\\non the reduction of the thermal conductivity κ through all length-scale phonon scattering via hierarchical engineering from atomic-scale lattice disorder and nanoscale endotaxial precipitates to mesoscale grain boundaries and interfaces.\\n
\\n
Research Summary
Numerous Co-free skutterudites bulk samples will be prepared to try different approaches, such as multifilling, doping of the Sb site, the addition of carbon and nano-powders and a combination of all of the above. Synthesis, densification, and structural\\ncharacterizations will be performed in our laboratory at Shibaura IT, while TE properties and measurements of κ will be carried out in collaborations with NIMS (Tsukuba, Japan, Prof. Takao Mori’s laboratory), Muroran IT (Muroran, Japan, Prof.\\nChihiro Sekine’s laboratory) and Dillard University (New Orleans, USA, Prof. Abdalla Darwish’s laboratory). Genova University (Genova, Italy, Prof. Cristina Artini’s laboratory) and UCLM (Toledo, Spain, Prof. Marco Antonio de la Torre’s laboratory) will\\nbe involved in the analysis of data as well. \\n
In addition, parallel research on thin films will be part of this project. The aforementioned bulk samples will be used as targets to prepare thin film via Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) at Shibaura IT and then characterized same as stated before.

Future Prospects \\n
The expected outcome is an enhancement of the ZT for both bulks and films of Smy(FexNi1-x)4Sb12 mainly thanks to the panoscopic approach on the hierarchical architecture of the material.\\n
Thanks to the substitution of Co with Fe and Ni, the filling performed with cheaper mixes of rare earths and the doping through the more available Sn instead of Te, we expect to increase the possibility of a more sustainable and cost-effective future\\ncommercial application of these skutterudites in a large-scale production of TE materials. \\n
