Abstract: A position identification unit (110) maps a plurality of tumor sample reads to a human genome sequence, and identifies, for each target gene, a target position which is a genome position of a base, the genome position having changed with respect to the human genome sequence. A frequency calculation unit (120) calculates a variant allele frequency for each target position of each target gene. A distance calculation unit (130) calculates, for each target gene, a feature distance equivalent to a difference between a variant allele frequency corresponding to a peak density and a reference variant allele frequency in a density distribution indicating a density of the number of mapping reads with respect to the variant allele frequency. A coefficient calculation unit (140) calculates a correction coefficient using the feature distance of each target gene.

Abstract: A reflector has a spherical main body and a plurality of conductor wires projecting radially from a central portion of the main body as the center. The reflector has a spherical shape like a sea urchin or chestnut in burr as a whole. At least any one conductor wire out of the plurality of conductor wires causes a radio wave entering while oscillating in a specific oscillating direction, to oscillate in a direction different from the specific oscillating direction, so as to reflect the radio wave in an incident direction in which the wave has entered. A radar device mounted on a flying object transmits a radio wave oscillating in the specific oscillating direction, and receives a radio wave oscillating in a direction different from the specific oscillating direction. If the signal intensity of the received radio wave is higher than a detection threshold, the radar device determines that there is a reflector in the direction the radio wave has been transmitted.

The step size determination unit 3 identifies a range of the predicted velocity va? in the azimuth direction where the amplitude value V0vaz becomes a predetermined value or higher, using a processing device, and then sets a velocity width equal to or smaller than a velocity width of the identified range to a step size ?va1.

A base station 100 receives the radio wave with the transmitted signal of high power (power spectrum density) at the center frequency f0 of the carrier wave, from the mobile station 200 which output communication for emergency situation. The base station 100 outputs suppression signals for suppressing signal intensity to the other mobile stations. Only the mobile station 200 which transmitted the communication for emergency situation establishes a channel to the base station 100.

Abstract: When emergency communication etc. is sent, it aims at preferentially dealing with the emergency communication etc. by a simple and effective method. It is a communication system in which a base station 100 and a mobile station 200a establish communication for emergency situation, in time of emergency, wherein the mobile station 200a switches an output adjustment from the normal mode to the emergency mode and sends the communication for emergency situation at the largest output possible. The base station 100 receives a strong radio wave from the mobile station 200a which sent the communication for emergency situation. The base station 100 continues to output suppression signals for suppressing signal intensity to the other mobile stations. The other mobile stations are suppressed by the near-far effect, and it becomes impossible for the base station 100 to receive communication except for the communication for emergency situation.

Abstract: To prevent erroneous detection of a ribcage boundary from a chest image, an outer search limit point is decided with precision. A profile of smoothed pixel-value integrated averages in each of right and left lung field of the image is obtained, a threshold for each of the right and left lung fields with the profile taken as a reference is decided, and each of the right and left lung fields is searched from a central part of each lung field outwardly on the image so that a position exceeding the threshold is determined. The position is set as the outer search limit point for a series of a upper lung ribcage boundary candidate points. In the search, in cases the position exceeding the threshold is not found, a first derivative of the profile is used to decide the outer search limit point.
