Open AccessRelation between earthquake swarm activity and tides in the Noto region, Japan
The Noto region in Japan has been experiencing earthquake swarm activity since mid-2018, with repeated rises and falls in activity. Crustal deformation (expansion and uplift) observed there since the end of 20...

Model for Predicting Topographic Changes of Beaches Composed of Sand of Mixed Grain Sizes Under Compound Action of Waves and Wind
On a coast composed of sand of mixed grain sizes and affected by strong wind, fine and medium-size sand is selectively transported inland as Aeolian sand, leaving coarse sand and gravel on the foreshore. In th...

Open AccessSimulation of great earthquakes along the Nankai Trough: reproduction of event history, slip areas of the Showa Tonankai and Nankai earthquakes, heterogeneous slip-deficit rates, and long-term slow slip events
Great earthquakes have occurred repeatedly along the Nankai Trough, but only for recent events are details known, such as rupture areas and time lags between paired events. It is meaningful for disaster preven...

Is medial pivot total knee arthroplasty suitable for patients with valgus knee osteoarthritis?
Medial pivot total knee arthroplasty (MP-TKA) is characterized by the ball-in-socket medial tibiofemoral articulation to achieve low wear and to reproduce the medial pivot motion similar to that in the normal ...

A cemented mobile-bearing total knee prosthesis prevents peri-prosthetic bone mineral density loss around the femoral component: a consecutive follow-up at a mean of 11 years
Research has shown that a cemented mobile-bearing component has a favorable effect on the bone mineral density (BMD) of the distal femur at 2 years after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study was performed...

Open AccessGeneration of the organotypic kidney structure by integrating pluripotent stem cell-derived renal stroma
Organs consist of the parenchyma and stroma, the latter of which coordinates the generation of organotypic structures. Despite recent advances in organoid technology, induction of organ-specific stroma and rec...

Changes in patient-perceived leg length discrepancy following total hip arthroplasty
Leg length discrepancy (LLD) after total hip arthroplasty (THA) prevents functional recovery and reduces patient satisfaction. We investigated impact of changes in patient-perceived LLD on patient satisfaction...

Open AccessJoint inversion of strain and tilt data using the Akaike’s Bayesian information criterion to map detailed slip distributions of short-term slow slip events
Along the Nankai Trough subduction zone, southwest Japan, short-term slow slip events (SSEs) are commonly detected in strain and tilt records. These observational data have been used in rectangular fault model...

Open AccessRelationship of back muscle and knee extensors with the compensatory mechanism of sagittal alignment in a community-dwelling elderly population
Compensatory mechanisms, such as a decrease in thoracic spine kyphosis and posterior tilting or rotation of the pelvis, aim to achieve optimal alignment of the spine. However, the effect of muscle strength on ...

Open AccessDouble seismic zone and seismicity in the mantle wedge beneath the Ogasawara Islands identified by an ocean bottom seismometer observation
Around the Ogasawara Islands, only a few seismic stations in the area can be used to determine the hypocenters of regional earthquakes; thus, hypocenter location precision tends to be low. To more precisely de...
