Abstract: To provide an image data alteration detection device, an image data alteration detection method, and a data structure of image data that can easily detect an alteration in image data. Metadata in image data includes a first hash value calculated based on predetermined data, a second hash value calculated based on a character string of a script, and the script. An image alteration detection device calculates a third hash value based on the predetermined data and the script included in the metadata, calculates a fourth hash value based on a character string of the script included in the metadata, compares the first hash value included in the metadata with the calculated third hash value and the second hash value included in the metadata with the calculated fourth hash value, and detects that the image data is altered when one of the values is not equal.

Abstract: According to some aspects, a method for analyzing a cell is provided. The method includes trapping the cell by binding a first molecule to the cell. The method further includes binding a second molecule to the cell. The second molecule includes a binding portion capable of specific binding to a cell-surface molecule of the cell. The second molecule further includes an identifying portion, a labeling portion coupled to the identifying portion, and a stimulus-degradable linker between the binding portion and the identification portion. The method further includes detaching the identifying portion from the binding portion by stimulating the stimulus-degradable linker where the detached identifying portion is coupled to the labeling portion. The method further includes binding the detached identifying portion through specific binding to an identifying portion recognizing molecule and detecting the labeling portion.

Abstract: To provide an image reproduction device, an information processing device, an image reproduction method, and a data structure of image data that can easily display an image corresponding to a reproduction elapsed time. Included is an image reproduction unit that reproduces an image from image data including data obtained by encoding an image and metadata that is data relating to the data. The metadata at least includes trimming information in which area information and time information are formed as a set. The image reproduction unit displays a predetermined area of an image based on the image data, based on the area information corresponding to an elapsed time from start of reproduction of the image, according to trimming information.
