791A modern history of Japan : from Tokugawa times to the present : 4th ed.
A Modern History of Japan: From Tokugawa Times to the Present, Fourth Edition, paints a richly nuanced and strikingly original portrait of the last two centuries of Japanese history. It takes students from the days of the shogunate the feudal overlordship of the Tokugawa family through the modernizing revolution launched by midlevel samurai in the late nineteenth century; the adoption of Western hairstyles, clothing, and military organization; and the nation's first experiments with mass democracy after World War I. Author Andrew Gordon offers the finest synthesis to date of Japan's passage through militarism, World War II, the American occupation, and the subsequent economic rollercoaster.
792A molecular docking study of natural acridones isolated from the root of Paramignya trimera
A molecular docking study of three natural acridones, namely citrusinine-I, 5-hydroxynoracronycin, and paratrimerin C on a target enzyme DNA polymerase μ (Pol μ), was performed. In addition, the hydrogen peroxide anion (HOO─), a model radical, and delavirdine, a synthetic drug, are used as ligands for docking on this target protein to investigate the activity of the selected compounds to protect Pol μ protein against their harmful effects. The interaction sites and binding energies (Gbind) were determined. The results reveal that 5-hydroxynoracronycin (Gbind: -5.82 kcal/mol) exhibits a higher binding activity to Pol μ protein than the other acridones and HOO─ as well as delavirdine. These acridone compounds illustrated the beneficial effect of protecting Pol μ against harmful HOO─ species and commonlyused delavirdine drugs.

797A new information theory based algorithm for clustering categorical data
In this paper, we review two baseline algorithms for use with categorical data, namely Min-Min Roughness (MMR) and Mean Gain Ratio (MGR), and propose a new algorithm, called Minimum Mean Normalized Variation of Information (MMNVI). MMNVI algorithm uses the Mean Normalized Variation of Information of one attribute concerning another for finding the best clustering attribute, and the entropy of equivalence classes generated by the selected clustering attribute for binary splitting the clustering dataset. Experimental results on real datasets from UCI indicate that the MMNVI algorithm can be used successfully in clustering categorical data. It produces better or equivalent clustering results than the baseline algorithms.
798A nonsense mutation in BRCA1 gene in a Vietnamese patient with breast cancer
Breast cancer is the most frequent female cancer, and it is increasing at an alarming rate. The typical symptom of breast cancer is breast lumps or swellings, though they can also develop close to the breast or under the arm. Breast cancer usually spreads to distant organs such as the bone, liver, lungs, and brain. Approximately 95% of breast cancer patients who arrive with the early-stage disease show no macroscopic signs of metastases. Although it is possible to reduce some breast cancer risks through prevention, the majority of patients in low-income countries are detected at a late stage. Because of this, even though current therapy is improving, early diagnosis is still crucial for improving the quality of treatment and the survival rate. Sex, age, family history, and an unhealthy lifestyle are some of the risk factors that may increase the chances of getting this disease. Familial or hereditary breast cancer accounts for 10% of breast cancers. Mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes were responsible for 50% of all familial or hereditary breast cancer cases. In this research, mutations in a Vietnamese patient with familial breast cancer were analyzed using whole exome sequencing.
799A novel algorithm for finding all reducts in the incomplete decision table
Attribute reduction, or attribute selection in the decision table, is a fundamental problem of rough set theory. Currently, many scientists are interested in and developing these issues. Unfortunately, most studies focus mainly on the complete decision table. On incomplete decision tables, researchers have proposed tolerance relations and designed attribute reduction algorithms based on different measures. However, these algorithms only return a reduct and do not preserve information in the decision tables. This paper will propose an efficient method to determine entire reducts of incomplete decision tables according to the relational database approach. In the complex case, this algorithm has exponential computational complexity. However, this algorithm has polynomial computational complexity in the different cases of databases.
800A novel approach to modelling a diagnosis and treatment of traditional Vietnamese medicine
In this paper, we propose a novel model of an expert system for diagnosing disease syndromes and treating traditional Vietnamese medicine. In this model, the knowledge base consists of IF-THEN rules, in which the antecedent of a rule is an elementary conjunction of propositions and negated propositions. The inference mechanism for the diagnosis of disease syndromes and treatment of traditional Vietnamese medicine applies Abelian group operations. A comparison of the inference of our model with the fuzzy max-min inferences shows that our model can have very similar rules whose contributions sum up to high weight. On the other hand, in our model, a rule with a negative weight may diminish an effect of a rule with a good weight. This feature is absent in the systems with fuzzy max-min inferences.
