Open AccessEffect of channel expansion angle near injector outlet on a rotating detonation engine performance
A rotating detonation engine (RDE) is expected to achieve a pressure gain (PG) in which the total pressure of the product at the engine exit exceeds the total pressure of the supplied oxidizer. However, many n...

Open AccessExperimental demonstration on detonation initiation by laser ignition and shock focusing in elliptical cavity
As a method of initiating detonation in a short distance with a small amount of energy, the combination of laser ignition and shock focusing in an elliptical cavity was proposed and experimentally demonstrated...

Open AccessSearch for lepton-flavor-violating τ decays into a lepton and a vector meson using the full Belle data sample
Charged-lepton-flavor-violation is predicted in several new physics scenarios. We update the analysis of τ lepton decays into a light charged lepton (ℓ = e± or μ±) and a vector meson (V0 = ρ0, ϕ, ω, K*0, or ...

Open AccessCombined analysis of Belle and Belle II data to determine the CKM angle ϕ3 using B+ → D( \( {K}_S^0 \) h+h−)h+ decays
We present a measurement of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa unitarity triangle angle ϕ3 (also known as γ) using a model-independent Dalitz plot analysis of B+ → D (

Open AccessSearch for lepton-flavor-violating tau-lepton decays to ℓγ at Belle
Charged lepton flavor violation is forbidden in the Standard Model but possible in several new physics scenarios. In many of these models, the radiative decays τ± → ℓ±γ (ℓ = e, μ) are predicted to have a sizeable...

Open AccessAnomalously high geothermal flux near the South Pole
Melting at the base of the Antarctic Ice Sheet influences ice dynamics and our ability to recover ancient climatic records from deep ice cores. Basal melt rates are affected by geothermal flux, one of the leas...

Open AccessThe relationship between socio-demographic factors, health status, treatment type, and employment outcome in patients with inflammatory bowel disease in Japan
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) constitutes a huge burden for patients and studies show that IBD patients have difficulties remaining in employment. Because there is no data about the unemployment of IBD pati...

Open AccessActively evolving subglacial conduits and eskers initiate ice shelf channels at an Antarctic grounding line
Ice-shelf channels are long curvilinear tracts of thin ice found on Antarctic ice shelves. Many of them originate near the grounding line, but their formation mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here we use i...

Open AccessMeasurements of \(\pi ^\pm \) differential yields from the surface of the T2K replica target for incoming 31 GeV/c protons with the NA61/SHINE spectrometer at the CERN SPS
Measurements of particle emission from a replica of the T2K 90 cm-long carbon target were performed in the NA61/SHINE experiment at CERN SPS, using data collected during a high-statistics run in 2009. An effic...

Open AccessBipartite electronic superstructures in the vortex core of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ
The central issue in the physics of cuprate superconductivity is the mutual relationship among superconductivity, pseudogap and broken-spatial-symmetry states. A magnetic field B suppresses superconductivity, pro...

Open AccessRetrospective evaluation of the effect of carotid artery stenosis on cerebral oxygen saturation during off-pump coronary artery bypasses grafting in adult patients
It is unknown whether cerebral oxygenation in patients with carotid artery stenosis (CAS) undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) differs from that in patients without CAS. Thus, the effect ...

Polymorphism of the solute carrier family 12 (sodium/chloride transporters) member 3, SLC12A3, gene at exon 23 (+78G/A: Arg913Gln) is associated with elevation of urinary albumin excretion in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes: a 10-year longitudinal study
We have shown previously that the SLC12A3 +78G/A polymorphism in exon 23 (Arg913Gln) was a new candidate for conferring susceptibility to diabetic nephropathy. The aim of this study was to confirm the effect of t...
