Plastic recycling is the reprocessing of plastic waste into new products.
Plastic recycling in Japan is generally divided into three types: material, chemical, and thermal.
Material recycling reuses the plastic, thermal recycling burns it for energy and chemical recycling uses the raw materials for industrial purposes.
In thermal recycling, the plastic is used as an ingredient for solid fuel, and the heat at the time of combustion is used to generate electricity or heat swimming pools.
Bioinformatics is the science of both storing lots of complex biological data, and of analysing it to find new insights, which we use in many different ways.
Plant-based meat is a food product made from vegetarian or vegan ingredients, eaten as a replacement for meat.
Plant-based meat typically approximate qualities of specific types of meat, such as mouthfeel, flavor, appearance, or chemical characteristics.
Plant-based meat is frequently made with soy, but may also be made from wheat gluten as in seitan, pea protein as in the Beyond Burger, or mycoprotein as in Quorn.
Materials Informatics is an effort to improve the efficiency of materials development by using informatics (information science) methods such as statistical analysis.
Materials informatics improves the understanding, use, selection, development, and discovery of materials.
032、Efficiency of materials development without materials informatics.【日本語、？、？、？】
In the traditional process of materials development, experiments and simulations are performed, and the data obtained are analyzed, drawing on the knowledge and expertise of engineers.
This process costs time, money, and human resources.
But using materials informatics allows us to enhance the efficiency of materials development.
NLP(Neuro-linguistic programming) is a pseudoscientific approach to communication, personal development, and psychotherapy created by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in California, United States, in the 1970s.
They claim there is a connection between neurological processes (neuro-), language (linguistic) and behavioral patterns learned through experience (programming), and that these can be changed to achieve specific goals in life.
They also claim that NLP methodology can "model" the skills of exceptional people, allowing anyone to acquire those skills.
An autonomous vehicle is a car incorporating vehicular automation.
An autonomous car is a ground vehicle that is capable of sensing its environment and moving safely with little or no human input.
Autonomy in vehicles is categorized in six levels.
Level 0 - no automation
Level 1 - hands on/shared control
Level 2 - hands off
Level 3 - eyes off
Level 4 - mind off
Level 5 - steering wheel optional
