Landmark cancer therapy wins Nobel prize

recently its so hard not to see some japanese name in nobel prize list.

[Taka-Okami]

Japanese researchers are well known to falsify data and results, bit like the climate scammers from the west. Wouldnt be surprised if there are retractions in the near future.

what leads to a conclusion from the survey is that at most SOME japanese are ranked high at the data fraud, NOT the average of fraud committed by the whole japanese researchers is high.
if you know how to grasp things logically, you should be able to distinguish the difference of the two.

[matsuki]

Any good news about cancer therapies is good news. Besides, not like it's "yappari nippppon science ichibaaaaaaan! banzai banzai!!" talk. If anything, it shows international effort can yield results.

I'll bet you are against vaccination too. Evidence please rather than bald assertion based on nothing more than blind faith.

In the meantime congratulations to Professor James P Allison from the US and Professor Tasuku Honjo from Japan.

I can keep going. But why waste time on an ignorant piece of shit like you.

[Wage Slave]

Bit upset are we? Bless.

What you provided was two instances and that is not evidence of something more common here than anywhere else.

[matsuki]

Taka - Fraudulent researchers can thrive for quite a while in the Japanese system....nobody is questioning that nor will we stop laughing when the usual dumbass interviewee says something like "we Japanese don't require [ insert common global practice here] because we're [insert Japanese exceptionalism claim here].

That being said, the cancer treatment above isn't a book of theoretical and unproven bullshit research. Did you read the link? It's a treatment developed based on research and looks like it's proving to be effective for some. Ignore Take's proud to be Japanese shtick and it's just great news for dealing with cancer, not false data or a scam.

[Wage Slave]

Yeah, there's some evidence that Japanese researchers can get away with fabrication more than in some other countries but let's not throw too many stones because it's a problem everywhere. Remember this one and the huge damage it did and is still doing?

When British Scientists start coming out to defend him and a system that lacks checks on legitimacy in line with global standards with statements like "we don't require such third party confirmations because British people don't lie" I'll put down my stones

He still has a surprising number of supporters in the UK, US and elsewhere. Not many scientists I'll grant but lots of people for various reasons. The Japanese cultural aversion to questioning professors' work is a weakness but then it's also true that, in general, Japanese professors are honest. And be fair, they also do some very significant work.

[matsuki]

No doubt the scourge of anti-vaccine mental cases are a problem. My issue is with ignoring reasonable steps in verification because Japanese. It allows the scum Taka is on about to attain false authority and maintain it among peers longer than should be tolerated. It also taints the reputation of "We Japanese" if they really care. The lack of acknowledging this problem and urgency to close these holes tells me to have stones ready for the next debacle, though I don't share Takas take where any research from Japan is likely bullshit.

what you keep going is no more than showing examples of some guys committed fraud.
my point is that how can you make a conclusion that the average rate of fraud committed by the whole of researchers in certain country is also high only by the fact that some of them committed fraud. its too difficult for you to answer it? eh?

Panasonic helps workers create their own head space with new crowdfunded device

Maintaining concentration is key to getting your work done efficiently, but it can be hard to achieve sometimes.

Sitting in your chair at the office, other coworkers may be constantly walking around nearby. Someone behind your desk could be chatting with their colleagues.

That’s where an entrepreneurial team at tech giant Panasonic Corp. saw a business opportunity, and subsequently launched a crowdfunding campaign for its prototype wearable device designed to help users stay focused.

Simply put, the device, called Wear Space, is a pair of over-ear wireless headphones attached to a big piece of U-shaped fabric. The noise-canceling headphones reduce surrounding noise, while the fabric blocks out movement in the user’s peripheral vision, making the wearer feel like he or she is in their own personal space.

An increasing number of companies have started to extend use of hot-desking in their offices, with workers freely choosing space to work, while startups often use co-working offices.

More diverse working styles have become a trend. “On the other hand, everyone sometimes wants to be alone and concentrate,” said Kang Hwayoung, a member of the team that developed the device.

Thus, the 330-gram Wear Space’s ability to create a semi-personal space will come in handy, she said, adding that the concept is (literally) to “wear space.”

Brilliant concept. Why didn't I think of this before?!?

Nobody can concentrate in these jam-packed open plan offices, no matter the headgear.

The issue I always have is small office rooms and 1 or 2 of the locals who are obliviously always at volume 13....and crank it up to 20 for telephone calls.

Re: Japanese Technology Spreading Worldwide!
Japan is looking forward to great success in the next season of American Ninja Warrior née サスケ/SASUKE with it new parkour robot, "Atlas," developed by SoftBank's wholly owned subsidiary, Boston Dynamics.

You mean the company is still producing our future robot overlords without a Japanese management transplant/overhaul? Imagine all the time saved by not faxing, printing employee guidebooks, and learning unique Japanese business card etiquette and teeth sucking culture...

The videos show that when one part of a plant is attacked or damaged, a wave of calcium (highlighted green) spreads throughout the rest of the plant. The calcium acts as a warning signal, alerting the plant to danger and the need to deploy defence tactics.


Gilroy and one of his post-doctoral researchers, Masatsugu Toyota (who led the study), suspected it had something to do with calcium and have been able to confirm their suspicions. They were also able to reveal how glutamate – an abundant neurotransmitter in animals – activates this wave of calcium.

It is well-known that plants can defend themselves, to the extent that some can signal to each other to kill animals that eat too many of their leaves.

Laundry-phobics' dreams crushed as Tokyo-based developer of Laundroid robot files for bankruptcy

A Tokyo-based developer of a laundry-folding robot filed for bankruptcy on Tuesday due to financial difficulties.

Seven Dreamers Laboratories Inc. released a statement saying that it had insufficient funds to continue the business despite its wish to provide unique products to consumers.

The firm created a buzz when it unveiled its automated laundry-folding machine, dubbed Laundroid, in 2015.

According to Teikoku Databank Ltd., a credit research company, Seven Dreamers Laboratories had ¥2.2 billion in debt, as it struggled to ship the robot and had to invest heavily in its research and development.

After postponing its initial goal to sell the robot in fiscal 2017, it had to push back its goal for fiscal 2018, too.

It is negotiating with other firms to sell and transfer the Laundroid business, Teikoku Databank said.

Seven Dreamers Laboratories had said that, because people have to spend so much folding laundry in their lifetimes, it wanted to set them free from that duty by developing Laundroid, whose prototype model looked like a big closet but was apparently packed with robotics and image recognition technologies designed to fold clothes.

The concept of the laundry-folding robot has attracted much attention and interest from investors in Japan and abroad. The startup was partnering with Panasonic Corp. and Daiwa House Industries Co.

Seven Dreamers Laboratories, which was founded in 2014, had received more than ¥10 billion in investment, including from foreign investors.

The firm also won the Japan round of the 2018 Startup World Cup, an international competition for startups, to advance to the final.
