As machines that act autonomously on behalf of others-e.g., robots-become integral to society, it is critical we understand the impact on human decision-making. Here we show that people readily engage in social categorization distinguishing humans ("...
Industrial robots are a strategic future technology and an important part of the development of artificial intelligence, and they are a necessary means for the intelligent transformation of manufacturing industry. Based on global industrial robot tra...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: We recently reported the role of artificial intelligence in the diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) gastritis on the basis of endoscopic images. However, that study included only H. pylori-positive and -negative patients,...
OBJECTIVE: Recognizing what physicians know and do not know about a particular disease is one of the keys to designing clinical decision support systems, since these systems can fulfill complementary role by recognizing this boundary. To our knowledg...
Five mutations involved in changing of susceptibility to lincosamides and/or macrolides were investigated in field isolates of Mycoplasma californicum in Japan, and reconfirmed in laboratory-derived mutants. In addition, a quick and easy detection me...
