Open AccessEffects of a combined exercise plus diet program on cardiorespiratory fitness of breast cancer patients
Decreases in cardiorespiratory fitness among breast cancer patients have often been reported in previous studies, affecting patients’ health and survival. Peak oxygen uptake (

Multiple-slice magnetic resonance imaging can detect visceral adipose tissue reduction more accurately than single-slice imaging
Imaging methods by magnetic resonance imaging are being increasingly used to quantify visceral adipose tissue (VAT), but there is no clear consensus as to a standardized protocol. We compared the ability of tw...

Structures and Properties of TiAl-Base Alloys Containing Mn
Structures and mechanical properties of TiAl-base alloys have been studied, in which Zr, Nb, V or Mn is added as the third element and the Al content is changed. Behavior of the third element in the TiAl-base ...

High-Temperature Phase Transformation in Cr Added TiAl Base Alloy
We have investigated a microstructure evolution of a Ti-48Al-3.5Cr (in at.%) alloy at high-temperatures (>1473K). In the alloy annealed at 1673K for 1.8ks, followed by air-cooling, a characteristic microstruct...

Quadrupole oscillations in a quantum degenerate Bose–Fermi mixture
We study the collective dynamics in a degenerate Bose–Fermi mixture of 174Yb and 173Yb atoms. We excite collective oscillations by a sudden reduction of the trap** confinement and observe low m=0 quadrupole osc...

A New Class of Type Ia Supernovae Inferred from Abundance Patterns of Halo Stars and High-z Galaxies
The recent discovery of a new population of stars exhibiting unusual elemental abundance patterns characterized by enhanced Ti to Ga elements and low α-elements suggests the contribution of a new class of supe...

Metallicity Effect on Type Ia Supernovae and Galactic and Cosmic Chemical Evolution
There exist two distinct types of supernova explosions: One is Type II supernovae (SNe II), which are the core collapse-induced explosions of short-lived massive stars (≳ 8M⊙) and produce more O and Mg relative t...

Inhomogeneous Chemical Evolution of the Galactic Halo
We find that abundance patterns seen in extremely metal-poor stars with [Fe/H] ≲2.5 follow those seen in the individual supernova remnants. This suggests that stars are made from individual supernova events. ...

Transient cyclophosphamide treatment before intraportal readministration of an adenoviral vector can induce re-expression of the original gene construct in rat liver
Although adenovirus is an attractive vehicle for transferring therapeutic genes in vivo, animal studies have indicated that the clinical usefulness of adenoviruses may be limited by their immunogenicity. Altho...

New Insights into the Early Stage of the Galactic Chemical Evolution
The supernova yields of several heavy elements including α-, iron-group, and r-process elements are obtained as a function of the mass of their progenitor main-sequence stars M ms from the abundance...

Type Ia Supernovae: Nucleosynthesis and Constraints on Progenitors
Among the major uncertainties involved in the Chandrasekhar mass models for Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are the companion star of the accreting white dwarf (or the accretion rate that determines the carbon ign...

The Chemodynamical Evolution of Spheroidal Systems and the Resultant Stellar Abundance Distribution Function
We construct a chemo-dynamical model for galaxy formation using a three dimensional SPH method. We simulate the formation of two spheroidal systems, i.e., the elliptical galaxy and the Galactic bulge, based on...
