This paper reviews previous research on the physiological effects of Shinrin-yoku (taking in
the forest atmosphere or forest bathing), and presents new results from field experiments …

“Shinrin-yoku”, which can be defined as “taking in the forest atmosphere or forest bathing”,
has been receiving increasing attention in Japan in recent years for its capacity to provide …

Chemical fixation of carbon dioxide (CO2), which is an inexpensive and renewable carbon
source, is becoming more and more important. The development of both new reactions and …

The International Prognostic Scoring Sytem (IPSS) is an important standard for ssessing
prognosis of primary untreated adult patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). To refine …

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is characterized by insulin resistance and pancreatic β cell
dysfunction. In high-risk subjects, the earliest detectable abnormality is insulin resistance in …

A distinct peak is observed in the π±ψ′ invariant mass distribution near 4.43 GeV in B→ K
π±ψ′ decays. A fit using a Breit-Wigner resonance shape yields a peak mass and width of M…

We study B→ K (*) ℓ+ ℓ− decays (ℓ= e, μ) based on a data sample of 657× 10 6 BB pairs
collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+ e− collider. We report the differential branching …

Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) is an 870 Mega pixel prime focus camera for the 8.2 m Subaru
telescope. The wide field corrector delivers sharp image of 0.25 arc-sec FWHM in r-band over …

We report the observation of two narrow structures in the mass spectra of the π±Υ (n S)(n= 1,
2, 3) and π±hb (m P)(m= 1, 2) pairs that are produced in association with a single charged …

B lymphocytes have critical roles as positive and negative regulators of immunity. Their
inhibitory function has been associated primarily with interleukin 10 (IL-10) because B-cell-…
