Do cucumbers sleep during Witching hour?

Osamu Takagi, Masamichi Sakamoto, Kimiko Kawano, Mikio Yamamoto

Abstract In recent years, several lines of evidence have been reported indicating that brainless organisms also sleep. In this paper, with the aim of answering the question of whether brainless plants also sleep, we analyzed the relationship between the diurnal time at …

Potential Power of the Pyramidal Structure VII: Effects of Pyramid Power and Bio-Entanglement on the Circadian Rhythm of Biosensors

Osamu Takagi, Masamichi Sakamoto, Kimiko Kawano, Mikio Yamamoto

We have demonstrated the existence of a pyramid power and have revealed its characteristics by strictly scientific experiments using biosensors. We also revealed the existence of a Bio-Entanglement, an entangled relationship between biosensors. A parallel study of biosensors (edible cucumber slices) had …

Potential Power of the Pyramidal Structure VIII: Exploration of Periodic Diurnal Oscillation of Pyramid Power and Bio-Entanglement

Osamu Takagi, Masamichi Sakamoto, Kimiko Kawano, Mikio Yamamoto

To date, numerous books have been published on so-called “pyramid power” but there have been few academic papers on this subject other than our own. Since 2007, to demonstrate the pyramid power, we have undertaken strictly scientific experiments using a pyramidal structure …

Potential Power of the Pyramidal Structure VI: Pyramid Effects due to Potential Power and Pyramid Effects due to Bio-Entanglement

Osamu Takagi, Masamichi Sakamoto, Kimiko Kawano, Mikio Yamamoto

Research on the so-called “pyramid power” began in the late 1930s. However, in general, pyramid power has been regarded as having no scientific basis, so there are very few systematic papers on pyramid power other than our academic research papers. Since October …

Seasonal Changes in the Circadian Rhythm of Gas Released from Harvested Cucumbers

Osamu Takagi, Masamichi Sakamoto, Kimiko Kawano, Mikio Yamamoto

Vegetables and fruits are known to have long-lasting biological reactions even after harvesting. Volatile components may be released as a biological response to stimulation or injury. We measured the concentrations of volatiles released from the cut surfaces of cucumbers after their harvest …

Practice and automation of remote real-time captioning support for students with disabilities using speech recognition technology

Mikio Yamamoto, Akiko Sakamoto, Nahoko Okada

Real-time captioning is one of the effective support for ensuring the accessibility of lectures for students with hearing disabilities. Speech recognition technology is expected as a technology for automating real-time captioning support in higher education. However, the recognition rate of Japanese is …

The effect of the rapid increase in online courses on educational accessibility for students with disabilities in Japanese higher education

Akiko Sakamoto, Mikio Yamamoto, Nahoko Okada

In 2020, a new coronavirus pandemic led to the rapid introduction of online lessons in higher education in Japan. Online lessons have the characteristic that it is easier to ensure physical accessibility and information accessibility in comparison with face-to-face lessons. However, prior …

Potential Power of the Pyramidal Structure IV: Discovery of Entanglement Due to Pyramid Effects

Osamu Takagi, Masamichi Sakamoto, Kimiko Kawano, Mikio Yamamoto

Since October 2007, we have been conducting rigorous scientific research on the unexplained “power” of a pyramidal structure (PS). From our research results so far, we could classify pyramid effects by the PS into the following two types: (i) the pyramid effects …

Potential Power of the Pyramidal Structure V: Seasonal Changes in the Periodicity of Diurnal Variation of Biosensors Caused by Entanglement Due to Pyramid Effects

Osamu Takagi, Masamichi Sakamoto, Kimiko Kawano, Mikio Yamamoto

Since October 2007, we have been conducting rigorous scientific experiments to elucidate the so-called “pyramid power”. The experiments use a pyramidal structure (PS). In order to detect the PS effects, a biosensor is made from cucumber fruit sections and the released volatile …

High sensitivity of roots to salt stress as revealed by novel tip bioassay in wheat seedlings

Chiharu Nakamura, Shotaro Takenaka, Miyuki Nitta, Mikio Yamamoto et autres

Salinity is one of major environmental constraints that adversely affect plant growth and pose a serious threat to crop productivity. One basic concern is related to tissue sensitivity differences to salt stress. It is intriguing that much more research efforts have been …

Potential Power of the Pyramidal Structure III: Discovery of Pyramid Effects with and without Seasonal Variation

Osamu Takagi, Masamichi Sakamoto, Hideo Yoichi, Kimiko Kawano et autres

Since October 2007, we have been conducting rigorous scientific research on the unexplained “power” of a pyramidal structure (PS). From our research results so far, we could classify the pyramid effects by the PS into the following two types. (i) The pyramid …

Potential Power of the Pyramidal Structure II

Osamu Takagi, Masamichi Sakamoto, Hideo Yoichi, Kimiko Kawano et autres

Research on “pyramid power” began in the late 1930s. To date, many documents on “pyramid power” have been published. We have been conducting scientific research on the unexplained “power” of a pyramidal structure (PS) since October 2007. The research focuses on the …
