The Global Joint Education Center for Science and Technology (GJEC) at the Graduate School of Science and Technology (GSST) of Kumamoto University has been hosting the International Student Conference on Advanced Science and Technology (ICAST) annually since 2008. The purpose is to encourage international collaboration among postgraduate students and young researchers and to foster cooperative development in education and research with partner universities. ICAST is predominantly organized and overseen by students, offering a valuable opportunity for them to enhance their leadership and communication skills in an international context. Previously, ICAST has been conducted at foreign universities such as Peking University (China), Ewha Womans University (Korea), Ege University (Turkey), Shandong University (China), University of Seoul (Korea), University of Clermont Auvergne (France), National Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology (Taiwan), and De La Salle University (Philippines), in addition to events held at Kumamoto University. We are excited to announce the 18th ICAST, scheduled to take place at the Universitas Hasanuddin, Faculty of Engineering, from September 18 to 20, 2023. All participants will have the opportunity to deliver live oral presentations and showcase posters.

Providing an overview of a new generation of ultrasonic technology, Advances in Adaptive Ultrasonics explores how ultrasonic devices can harness the properties of advanced materials, including shape memory alloys and metamaterials. The applications of ultrasonic devices range from surgery, drilling, and welding to sonar and energy harvesting. This book demonstrates how engineers can overcome common issues within the field of ultrasonics, such as precision control and choice of materials. Beginning with an overview of ultrasonic technology as it is currently understood, the book goes on to discuss the newest iteration in the form of adaptive ultrasonics and the benefits this can offer to multiple industries. Key topics include advanced materials, notably phase-transforming shape memory alloys, and the principles of adaptive ultrasonic transducer design. The book also covers measurement approaches for characterising adaptive ultrasonic devices and provides an overview of potential applications for the technology. This book will be of interest to students and engineers in the field of ultrasonic surgery, industrial engineering, welding, and mechanical materials.

The main goal of the book is to explore the idea behind data modeling in smart agriculture using information and communication technologies and tools to make agricultural practices more functional, fruitful and profitable. The research in the book looks at the likelihood and level of use of implemented technological components with regard to the adoption of different precision agricultural technologies. To identify the variables affecting farmers’ choices to embrace more precise technology, zero-inflated Poisson and negative binomial count data regression models were utilized. Outcomes from the count data analysis of a random sample of various farm operators show that various aspects, including farm dimension, farmer demographics, soil texture, urban impacts, farmer position of liabilities, and position of the farm in a state, were significantly associated with the approval severity and likelihood of precision farming technologies. Farm management information systems (FMIS) have constantly advanced in complexity as they have incorporated new technology, the most recent of which is the internet. However, few FMIS have fully tapped into the internet’s possibilities, and the newly developing idea of precision agriculture receives little or no support in the FMIS that are now being sold. FMIS for precision agriculture must meet a few more criteria beyond those of regular FMIS, which increases the technological complexity of these systems’ deployment in a number of ways. In order to construct an FMIS that meet these extra needs, the authors here evaluated various cutting-edge web-based methods. The goal was to determine the requirements that precision agriculture placed on FMIS.

This book deals with the concept of medical ultrasound imaging and discusses array signal processing in ultrasound. Signal processing using different beamforming techniques in order to achieve a desirable reconstructed image and, consequently, obtain useful information about the imaging medium is the main focus of this book. In this regard, the principles of image reconstruction techniques in ultrasound imaging are fully described, and the required processing steps are completely expanded and analyzed in detail. Simulation results to compare the performance of different beamformers are also included in this book to visualize their differences to the reader. Other advanced techniques in the field of medical ultrasound data processing, as well as their corresponding recent achievements, are also presented in this book. Simply put, in this book, processing of medical ultrasound data from different aspects and acquiring information from them in different manners are covered and organized in different chapters. Before going through the detailed explanation in each chapter, it gives the reader an overview of the considered issue and focuses his\her mind on the challenge ahead. The contents of the book are also presented in such a way that they are easy for the reader to understand. This book is recommended for researchers who study medical ultrasound data processing.
