(授業の概要・目的) | Solving current societal issues demands integrating ideas and taking a multifaceted approach. Integrating engineering, biology and medicine, this seminar aims at introducing students to multidisciplinary approaches to understanding and/or solving complex issues in biology, medicine and/or engineering. Discussions will be centered on understanding multidisciplinary approach toward solving the said problem by integrating knowledge and concepts from various disciplines (science, engineering and/or medicine). | ||||||
(到達目標) | To nuture interests in knowledge integration from diverse scientific disciplines. To learn how to integrate knowledge and concepts toward application to solving complex open-ended questions in biology, medicine and/or engineering. |
||||||
(授業計画と内容) | This seminar will tackle selected topics related to application of engineering principles and knowledge to solving clinical problems, and/or elucidating known and unknown biological phenomena. Besides discussions, students will have opportunities to make some short presentations on topics of interest. Topics might be flexibly changed based on our interests. 1) Recent exciting discoveries in science (3 weeks) We will begin the discussion series by exploring ground-breaking discoveries in science and discuss their impacts on the society. Through this session, we will learn how to obtain fundamental knowledges from scientific articles. 2) Engineering in biology (3 weeks) We will discuss the convergence of biology with engineering that have enabled the manipulation, analysis and detailed study of living systems including biomechanics, tissue engineering, sequencing technologies, and other biotechnologies. 3) Engineering in medicine (4 weeks) We will discuss trends in medical engineering and specific application in areas such as drug development,surgical tools, visualization technologies, and other medical technologies. 4) Emerging areas in engineering for biology and medicine (3 weeks) Recent explosive advances in science are causing revolutionary developments in medicine and biology. One such technology is "in silico" technologies, such as AI and simulation. Here, we will discuss emerging trends in "in silico" technologies for biology and medicine, and highlight their potential applications. 5) Student presentations (2 weeks) 6) Lecture review (1 week) |

(授業の概要・目的) | Computer simulations play an important role in the process of scientific discovery, complementing theory and experiments. In this seminar course, the students will learn how to code computer simulations in Python to investigate problems of great biological interest. For example, we will study how populations of prey and predators change over time in a given ecological system, understand how bacteria search for food around their environment, and predict the spread of epidemics. The course is structured as a series of tutorials (as Jupyter notebooks) where students implement a model for a given biological system and apply it to learn more about the topic. In the final project, students will investigate a topic of choice, and present their results for the final evaluation. | ||||||
(到達目標) | To be able to program computer simulations using the Python programming language. To understand how models are routinely used to in biology. To learn about the process of scientific discovery: how to ask your own questions and design your own "computer experiments" to give an answer. |
||||||

(授業の概要・目的) | This seminar introduces various fascinating aspects of chaos. While “chaos” often has the connotation of something complicated and uncontrollable, we will see that chaotic behavior can emerge from seemingly simple situations. We will discover that chaos can be, in its own way, very ordered. Perhaps even more surprisingly, chaos can actually be a source of stability. Along the way, we will familiarize ourselves with some of the necessary mathematical tools to describe chaotic behavior. Finally, we will discuss where chaos occurs in physics and everyday phenomena. Throughout the seminar, we will perform several simple experiments on a computer and learn to recognize chaotic behavior. | ||||||
(到達目標) | - Understanding the connection between non-linearity and chaos. - Becoming familiar with the basic mathematical theory of chaos. - Recognizing chaotic phenomena in daily life and physics. - Being able to write simple computer programs to visualize chaotic behavior. |
||||||
(授業計画と内容) | Week 1-2: Dynamical systems and phase-space description. Week 3-6: Using the Julia programming language to visualize dynamical systems. Week 7-9: Bifurcations: the route to chaos.

(授業の概要・目的) | Welcome to the fascinating world of "Physiological Neuroscience"! Have you ever wondered how our incredible brain enables us to think, see, hear, and move? This seminar will unravel the mysteries of our body's ultimate control center. In our initial sessions, we'll learn about the basic structure of the brain and get to know the building blocks, called neurons. We'll zoom in on these neurons, paying special attention to their membrane proteins like ion channels and receptors. These proteins play an important role in creating electrical signals by establishing ion gradients. After understanding these essential mechanisms, we'll explore how these signals travel, facilitating communication between neurons. As the course progresses, we'll delve into the brain's development and learn how neurons establish the right connections, like wiring a complex network. In our final sessions, we'll explore the functions of different brain structures and specialized neurons, allowing us to understand how we perceive the world around us - from seeing and hearing to sensing pain. Throughout each seminar, you'll not only gain insights into the brain's fundamental properties and functions but also explore disruptions caused by various diseases, medications, substances, or toxins. This knowledge will equip you with valuable tools to comprehend related issues on a deeper level. Get ready for an engaging journey into the wonders of the brain! |
||||||
(到達目標) | By the end of this seminar, you'll uncover the fascinating world of neurons and how they communicate. We'll dive into exciting medical and biological aspects of neuroscience, giving you a well-rounded perspective. Plus, you'll gain the skills to engage in stimulating discussions about the latest advancements in the field, regardless of your academic background. This seminar offers an eye-opening journey into the wonders of the brain! | ||||||

(授業の概要・目的) | This seminar-style course will give students a chance to learn about some important models in applied probability. The focus will be on Markov chains, which are central to the understanding of random processes, and have applications in simulation, economics, optimal control, genetics, queues and many other areas. As well as introducing mathematical techniques, it will be a goal to show how these can be applied to understand certain random phenomena, such as the long-time behaviour of random walks, survival/extinction of branching processes, convergence of algorithms, and reinforcement. | ||||||
(到達目標) | - To understand basic models of applied probability, particularly Markov chains - To apply mathematical techniques to understand random phenomena in applications - To gain experience in reading and presenting mathematics in English |
||||||
(授業計画と内容) | In the first lecture, the lecturer will introduce the topic, and basic aims of the course. For most subsequent weeks, the classes will consist of two parts: - a part where students present their attempts to solve problems set by the lecturer in the previous class; - a part where the lecturer introduces some new topics upon which the following week's student problems will be based. The following indicates possible topics, though this may vary depending on the students’ proficiency level and background. (1) Introduction to applied probability and Markov chains [1 week] Review of basic probability, definition of a Markov chain, outline of course (2) Basic properties of discrete-time Markov chains [7 weeks] Class structure, hitting times/probabilities, computations using probability generating functions (3) Long-time behavior of discrete-time Markov chains [3 weeks] recurrence/transience, invariant distributions, convergence to equilibrium, time reversal, ergodic theorem (4) Applications [3 weeks] Random walks, branching processes, urn models, queuing models Total: 14 classes and 1 week for feedback |

(授業の概要・目的) | Contracts play a vital role in much of the everyday activities. In this context, a fundamental knowledge of contract law is useful in grasping the rights and obligations of the respective parties, either individually or in business settings. English law is listed among the most popular choices of law for cross-border legal relationships. Therefore a basic understanding about the main concepts and institutions of English contract law could be a very useful tool for students in case they want to pursue a career that involves international business transactions. |
||||||
(到達目標) | Since businesses boost economic growth by selling goods and/or services, even a foundation level knowledge into the English contract law could be seen of having practical importance in many career paths. |

In the class, we will first find a topic, which the class is interested in. Before the debate, students will research about the topic and chose their arguments. Then, students will choose the Pro- or Contra- side (about 3 students each). Next is the actual debate. Now, students in the pro- and contra-groups will deliver their speeches (about 2-3 minutes per speaker). The audience group will actively join the floor discussion. At the end of the debate we will discuss, whether the pro- or the contra-group delivered the more convincing speeches. |

(授業の概要・目的) | This class will introduce to students one of the most abundant forms of life on earth: the Nematodes or roundworms. The most famous of these is the useful model organism called Caenorhabditis elegans. The goal of the class is to provide both a survey of how scientists use these organisms to conduct research, demonstrate the worm's great importance to biology, and provide hands-on experience with simple worm manipulation. Students will also learn directly about some of the current biological questions that are being addressed with this versatile model organism. We will also find wild nematodes around Kyoto, make scientific observations on them and use DNA sequencing to identify their species. Whether we find a new species, or identify new isolates of known ones, this class will introduce you to a new realm of life. 線虫学入門 - 生物学を学びながら新種の線虫を見つけよう! 線虫は動物の中で最も個体数の多い生物種です。線虫は土壌や植物から簡単に見つけることができ、分子生物学における重要なモデル生物の一つでもあります。2002年には、線虫を用いた細胞死の研究に対して、2006年には、線虫におけるRNA干渉の発見に対して、それぞれノーベル賞が贈られています。線虫が持つ遺伝子のうち、60−70%は私たち人間にも共通しているため、ヒトにも共通する様々な生体のメカニズムを理解することを目指して、飼育や遺伝子組み換えが容易な線虫が、実験材料として分子生物学では用いられます。 この授業では、各自、サンプルを持参して、そこから線虫を取り、それぞれの線虫のゲノムDNAの一部を増幅し、そのシーケンスを読むことによって、線虫種を同定します。 新種の線虫を発見する可能性もあり!新種の線虫の探索に加えて、分子生物学の研究において一般的に使われている野生株と変異株を用いた遺伝学実験、高解像度顕微鏡を用いた染色体構造の観察も行います。 |
||||||
(到達目標) | -To understand the biology and diversity of nematodes -To understand the uses of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans in modern biological research -To understand the anatomy and life cycle of C. elegans -To learn how to create new strains containing desired mutations by designing crosses between animals -To acquire the knowledge and experience needed to begin genetic research with C. elegans |

(キーワード) | English / Biology / Scientific literature / Critical analysis | ||||||
(授業の概要・目的) | Scientific literacy and critical analysis are essential skills for a career in science, and a valuable life skill even for those who choose a career path outside science. In this class, we will begin by studying an influential paper together. This will introduce students to a basic approach to reading primary scientific literature that will help you to reach your own conclusions about the data. Next, each student will search for and pick a paper, and in class, together, we will try to understand everything about it: concepts, methods, analysis, interpretation and significance. This will be an opportunity to learn some science, as well as to see how experiments are designed and how statistical analyses are applied. Students hopefully will use their chosen papers as a springboard to explore subjects that are of particular interest to them. The class structure will depend on how many students enroll. This course is recommended for students who are planning on pursuing graduate studies in biology or other science subjects in the future. |
||||||
(到達目標) | Students will acquire the ability to read scientific papers on their own, becoming familiar with the technical writing and structure used in scientific journals. Students will be shown how to track down additional information and search online databases for related or cited works. Students will learn about some of the laboratory techniques and statistical analyses commonly used in biomedical research papers. Most importantly, students will learn about the scientific principles of empiricism and skepticism, to perform their own critical analyses of scientific papers. |
||||||
(授業計画と内容) | Students will learn some background about scientific discourse and publication in scientific journals. We will then read and analyse a landmark paper together in class. During each subsequent class, we will also spend a little time on each student's chosen paper. Students will learn by a combination of traditional class lecture and active learning methods such as small group work discussion, in-class quizzes, and one-on-one discussions with the instructor during this course. 1. Introductory Lecture 2. Getting Started: Types of Scientific Communication, What is Scientific Discourse? How Peer Review Works. Short student survey. 3. Introduction of a landmark or recent paper to read together in class. Introduction to using PubMed as a resource to search for papers. 4. The Anatomy of a Scientific Paper. Short quiz. 5. The What? Why? How? of a Paper (in-class discussion and small group work) 6. Analysis of Methods, Figures and Results (small group work) Students should begin searching for a paper to analyse for their written assignment. I will discuss one-on-one about papers suitable for each student. 7. Analysis of the Discussion (small group work). Advice on Predatory Publishers and Paper Mills. 8. What is Critical Analysis? (in-class discussion) 9. Advice on writing your report. (in-class discussion, one-on-one work) 10. Basic Statistics. A discussion of Plagiarism. (in-class discussion) 11. Discussion of Writing Style, and some Advice. (in-class discussion, one-on-one work) 12. Class topics tailored to student needs (one-on-one work) 13. Class topics tailored to student needs (one-on-one work) 14. Class topics tailored to student needs (one-on-one work) 15. Exam day. Student written assignment due. 16. Feedback Class This schedule is flexible, and will depend on how many students enroll in the course. The schedule also will depend on the types of papers that we are analysing. The class is open to all 1st and 2nd year students, although the papers will mainly come from the field of my expertise, biology. |
||||||
(履修要件) |
This course will study scientific papers from the field of biology. Humanities or social sciences students are required to have studied biology subjects at high school.
Although it is not required, an intermediate level of English ability is highly recommended, for reading comprehension and in-class quizzes. |
||||||
(成績評価の方法・観点及び達成度) | Grading will be based on attendance and active class participation (80%), and a written homework assignment (20%), which will be a critical analysis of a paper chosen by the student. The written assignment will be graded on the basis of student comprehension and critical analysis, rather than grammatical standards of English. | ||||||

|
||||||
(参考書等) |
I will provide additional background material, depending on the topic of each paper that is chosen by students.
|
||||||
(授業外学習(予習・復習)等) | Out of class reading may take 2-3 hours per week, mostly looking up technical terms, learning about the background for the papers that are discussed during class, or searching online databases for papers to analyse. | ||||||
(その他(オフィスアワー等)) | In principle, anytime. Please contact the instructor by e-mail if you have any questions. For consultations about course-related matters outside class hours, please make an appointment directly or by e-mail. | ||||||

Students will learn some background about scientific discourse and publication in scientific journals. We will then read and analyse a landmark paper together in class. During each subsequent class, we will also spend a little time on each student's chosen paper. Students will learn by a combination of traditional class lecture and active learning methods such as small group work discussion, in-class quizzes, and one-on-one discussions with the instructor during this course. 1. Introductory Lecture 2. Getting Started: Types of Scientific Communication, What is Scientific Discourse? How Peer Review Works. Short student survey. 3. Introduction of a landmark or recent paper to read together in class. Introduction to using PubMed as a resource to search for papers. 4. The Anatomy of a Scientific Paper. Short quiz. 5. The What? Why? How? of a Paper (in-class discussion and small group work) 6. Analysis of Methods, Figures and Results (small group work) Students should begin searching for a paper to analyse for their written assignment. I will discuss one-on-one about papers suitable for each student. 7. Analysis of the Discussion (small group work). Advice on Predatory Publishers and Paper Mills. 8. What is Critical Analysis? (in-class discussion) 9. Advice on writing your report. (in-class discussion, one-on-one work) 10. Basic Statistics. A discussion of Plagiarism. (in-class discussion) 11. Discussion of Writing Style, and some Advice. (in-class discussion, one-on-one work) 12. Class topics tailored to student needs (one-on-one work) 13. Class topics tailored to student needs (one-on-one work) 14. Class topics tailored to student needs (one-on-one work) 15. Exam day. Student written assignment due. 16. Feedback Class This schedule is flexible, and will depend on how many students enroll in the course. The schedule also will depend on the types of papers that we are analysing. The class is open to all 1st and 2nd year students, although the papers will mainly come from the field of my expertise, biology. |
|||||||
(履修要件)
This course will study scientific papers from the field of biology. Humanities or social sciences students are required to have studied biology subjects at high school.
Although it is not required, an intermediate level of English ability is highly recommended, for reading comprehension and in-class quizzes. |
|||||||
(成績評価の方法・観点及び達成度)
Grading will be based on attendance and active class participation (80%), and a written homework assignment (20%), which will be a critical analysis of a paper chosen by the student. The written assignment will be graded on the basis of student comprehension and critical analysis, rather than grammatical standards of English.

(キーワード) | Galois theory / polynomials / modern algebra | ||||||
(授業の概要・目的) | It is a classical question from centuries ago whether a quintic (or of higher degree) polynomial equation is solvable in terms of its coefficients, with only use of the usual operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) and application of radicals (square roots, cube roots, etc). It was French mathematician E. Galois who proposed the correct framework for such a question, the answer to which turns out to be negative in general. Nowadays, the theory of Galois has become an essential part of modern abstract algebra. The so-called "fundamental theorem of Galois theory" is commonly considered as the summit of a course in (undergraduate) abstract algebra, which usually takes a year to complete. In this half-year course we start from the beginning of abstract algebra, with emphasis on the concepts and examples that shall help us reach Galois theory. It is worth mentioning that abstract algebra has also found applications in science and engineering, e.g. in cryptography. |
||||||
(到達目標) | We will learn the basic concepts and theorems in group theory, ring theory, field theory, and Galois theory. As an application, we shall also be able to determine which polynomial equations are solvable in radicals. | ||||||
(授業計画と内容) | We intend to cover a big chunk of modern algebra in a condensed and interesting way, to make it accessible to most undergraduate students. Both concepts and examples will be emphasized. Below is the plan and contents of the course. (The lectures, as well as the order of the lectures, may be modified, depending on students' background and understanding of the course materials.) - Set Theory [1 week]: Notion of sets, mappings, mathematical induction, Zorn's lemma. - Group theory [3-4 weeks]: Definition and examples of groups, homomorphisms, abelian groups, Sylow's theorem. - Ring theory [3-4 weeks]: Definition and examples, ideals, Euclidean domains, PIDs, UFDs, polynomial rings. - Field theory [2-3 weeks]: Definition and examples, field extensions, polynomials, finite fields. - Galois theory [2-3 weeks]: Galois extensions, roots of unity, solvability.

(授業の概要・目的) | Our Universe is far beyond what our eyes can perceive. Hidden in the tranquil ocean of stars, nebulae and galaxies pictured by optical telescopes and cameras around the world everyday, extreme energetic phenomena that can only be observed through ‘invisible lights' (e.g., radio waves, X-rays, gamma-rays) or even messengers other than electromagnetic waves (e.g., cosmic-rays, neutrinos) are happening frequently here and there in the Cosmos. This seminar will bring students into this exciting world of the Invisible Universe. Students can carry out introductory research projects or study from a book in a subject of his/her interest under the guidance of the instructor. Some projects pursued by past members: 1) Evolution of stars 2) Gamma-ray astronomy using a NASA satellite (Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope) 3) Cosmic ray physics 4) Learn about astrophysics of blackholes, supernovae, and other fascinating celestial objects. The way a student will proceed with her/his project varies depending on the subject. For example, the following methods were used by students in the past successfully: 1) Numerical simulations using open-source codes 2) Writing Python scripts for simple calculations and data visualization 3) Data analysis using mission-specific applications 4) Simulation for observations by future X-ray instruments Pre-requisite knowledge is not needed for this seminar. The students will be tutored according to their pre-knowledge levels on an individual basis. |
||||||
(到達目標) | 1) To obtain basic knowledge and feel the excitement of forefront astronomy and astrophysics through a subject of a student's interest. 2) To briefly experience the everyday life of an astrophysicist nowadays through the process of guided independent research, report writing and an oral presentation. |
||||||
(授業計画と内容) | In this seminar, besides a few introductory lectures on topics surrounding multi-wavelength astronomy, the students will either perform independent research on intriguing astrophysical objects of their choices (research group), or study on a topics of their interests by reading books and articles (reading group) under the guidance of the instructor. Research projects can be carried out in a group of 2 (or 3 at most) students if preferred. This seminar will be delivered in a casual format and conducted mainly in English (with occasional Japanese only when necessary). Students are encouraged to ask questions and discuss on topics with their peers and instructor spontaneously at each meeting. Students will present their studies and findings through a written report. Short oral presentations will be done also by students in the reading group during seminar meetings.

For example, the following methods were used by students in the past successfully: 1) Numerical simulations using open-source codes 2) Writing Python scripts for simple calculations and data visualization 3) Data analysis using mission-specific applications 4) Simulation for observations by future X-ray instruments Pre-requisite knowledge is not needed for this seminar. The students will be tutored according to their pre-knowledge levels on an individual basis. |
|||||||
(到達目標)
1) To obtain basic knowledge and feel the excitement of forefront astronomy and astrophysics through a subject of a student's interest.
2) To briefly experience the everyday life of an astrophysicist nowadays through the process of guided independent research, report writing and an oral presentation. |
|||||||
(授業計画と内容)
In this seminar, besides a few introductory lectures on topics surrounding multi-wavelength astronomy, the students will either perform independent research on intriguing astrophysical objects of their choices (research group), or study on a topics of their interests by reading books and articles (reading group) under the guidance of the instructor. Research projects can be carried out in a group of 2 (or 3 at most) students if preferred. This seminar will be delivered in a casual format and conducted mainly in English (with occasional Japanese only when necessary). Students are encouraged to ask questions and discuss on topics with their peers and instructor spontaneously at each meeting. Students will present their studies and findings through a written report. Short oral presentations will be done also by students in the reading group during seminar meetings. Total:14 classes, 1 Feedback session |

In these two lectures we will discuss how to write your own functions for manipulating and processing various types of data. Lecture 9: Flow control and loops. We will introduce ways how to execute commands only when some conditions are met (if statements), and how to execute operations repeatedly (various types of loops). Lecture 10: Packages. Apart from pre-installed functions, there are thousands of libraries and packages publicly available. Here we will discuss how to find such packages in the “Comprehensive R Archive Network” (CRAN), how to install them, find documentation, and use them. Lecture 11: Getting data and cleaning data. We will discuss several ways of reading data from files, cleaning data, and how to save data in files. Lecture 12: Data visualization. We will introduce 3 big approaches for making various types of plots and figures in R. Lecture 13: Statistical tests and probability distributions.
