In an era of ecosystem degradation and climate change, maximizing microbial functions in
agroecosystems has become a prerequisite for the future of global agriculture. However, …

The in-orbit performance and calibration of the Hard X-ray Detector (HXD) on board the X-ray
astronomy satellite Suzaku are described. Its basic performances, including a wide energy …

Dramatic increases in the depth of weld bead penetration have been demonstrated by welding
stainless steel using the gas tungsten arc (GTA) process with activating fluxes consisting …

In order to clarify the formative mechanism of weld penetration in an arc welding process,
the development of a numerical model of the process is quite useful for understanding …

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to identify an appropriate way to detect
vestibular-evoked extraocular potentials (oVEMPs) produced by air-conducted sound stimulation in …

Suzaku Hard X-ray Detector (HXD) achieved the lowest background level than any other
previously or currently operational missions sensitive in the energy range of 10–600 keV, by …

… The sampling point was located 11 m from the shore, with a bottom depth of 4 m. The adjacent
area included a rocky reef, brown algae macrophyte and filamentous epiphyte vegetation, …

The characteristics of the microstructures and mechanical properties of friction stir welds of
60% Cu–40% Zn alloy (60/40 brass) were investigated. The defect-free welds were obtained …
