Molecular mechanism and evolution of mimetic pattern formation

Professor Haruhiko Fujiwara

 Mimicry, which is the use of patterns on the body surface and body color to distract predators, is observed in a wide range of species, but the details of its formation mechanism remain unclear. I will introduce how mimetic patterns are formed in lepidopteran insects such as swallowtails from an evolutionary perspective.

Social networks and information sharing mechanisms in local communities

Professor Riki Honda

 Even today, when the Internet is at its peak, people-to-people connections still play an important role in communication in local communities. In this context, we can see a mechanism that is different from that of large-scale networks such as SNS. We will discuss the role of social networks in information sharing in local communities, referring to case studies and simulations of disaster-affected areas.

Visiting Professor Koshichi Nemoto

Technology to carry electrical energy

Visiting Professor Koshichi Nemoto

The electric power distribution network, which is an important social infrastructure, is still growing as a single system including consumers, based on a vast amount of technological accumulation obtained through trial and error since its birth 130 years ago. In this lecture, I would like to introduce mainly the equipment technology for transporting electromagnetic energy, and consider future issues and visions.
