Textures of Rotating Superfluid 3He–A in a Single Narrow Cylinder
We have studied textures of the rotating superfluid 3He–A in a single narrow cylinder by NMR measurement. In a narrow cylinder, the characteristic textures such as Mermin-Ho texture (Mermin and Ho in Phys. Rev. L...

Absence of reproductive conflict during queen rearing in Apis cerana
Polyandry in honeybee queens (Apis) causes many patrilines (subfamilies) within a colony, which may lead to a potential conflict of interest among workers. This may be most apparent during queen rearing when nepo...

Effects of Fe and Co addition on the magnetoresistance in Ni-Mn-Ga films
Effects of Fe and Co addition on the magnetoresistance MR were investigated in sputtered Ni-Mn-Ga-M (M = Fe, Co) films. With increasing M content, magnetization σ enhanced for M = Fe, while it reduced for M =...
