Using 3D technology and interdisciplinary expertise, a research team has explored Buddhist temples in the remote Dolpo region of Nepal and digitized them for posterity In the high-altitude and extremely remote region of Dolpo in north-west Nepal, there are numerous Buddhist temples whose history dates back to the 11th century. The structures are threatened by earthquakes, landslides and planned infrastructure projects such as the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative. There is also a lack of financial resources for long-term maintenance….

Taking on the challenge for new public transportation services with an academic-industrial alliance, with unique ideas that break down stereotyped thinkingAbout three years ago, when Prof. Takefuji, who specializes in network security and neural network (information processing mechanism modeled on human brain structure) met with the president of JR East at a meeting, the two found themselves as kindred spirits as soon as they met. Prof. Takefuji revealed his research ideas related to railway services, such as the “electricity generating floor” and “transverse wave speaker”, and an academic-industrial alliance was decided on at the spot. In cooperation with JR East Consultants Company, many projects are under way towards a railway service that is universally user-friendly….
