Open AccessPhoton sphere and quasinormal modes in AdS/CFT
Photon spheres are the characteristic of general black holes, thus are a suitable touchstone for the emergence of gravitational spacetime in the AdS/CFT correspondence. We provide a spectral analysis of an AdS...

Open AccessDetermining factors that maintain physical function or increase frailty using the Kihon checklist among community-dwelling older adults: a six-year longitudinal study in Agano, Japan
A significant increase in the older adult population in Japan will significantly increase healthcare costs. This study aimed to examine the risk factors contributing to robustness transitioning to frailty in o...

Open AccessTransient chaos analysis of string scattering
It has long been thought that a highly excited string can be regarded as a black hole: the correspondence principle between strings and a black hole, while recent studies found that black holes are characteriz...

Open AccessStrain-level profiling of viable microbial community by selective single-cell genome sequencing
Culture-independent analysis with high-throughput sequencing has been widely used to characterize bacterial communities. However, signals derived from non-viable bacteria and non-cell DNA may inhibit its chara...

Open AccessComments on the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer index theorem, domain wall, and Berry phase
It is known that the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer index can be reformulated as the eta invariant of the Dirac operators with a domain wall mass which plays a key role in the anomaly inflow of the topological insulator...

Association between bone mineral density and ulnar styloid fracture in older Japanese adults with low-energy distal radius fracture
We investigated the association of the ulnar styloid fracture (USF) with the bone mineral status and fractured radial displacement in elderly patients. The presence of USF correlates with decreased BMD and sev...

Open AccessTime-lapse single-cell transcriptomics reveals modulation of histone H3 for dormancy breaking in fission yeast
How quiescent cells break dormancy is a key issue in eukaryotic cells including cancer. Fungal spores, for example, remain quiescent for long periods until nourished, although the mechanisms by which dormancy ...
