The Aeolian Dust Experiment on Climate Impact (ADEC) was initiated in April 2000 as a joint
five-year Japan–China project. The goal was to understand the impact of aeolian dust on …

A spin valve is a microelectronic device in which high- and low-resistance states are realized
by using both the charge and spin of carriers. Spin-valve structures used in modern hard-…

The pressure-temperature phase diagram of the organic Mott insulator κ−(ET) 2 Cu 2 (CN) 3,
a model system of the spin liquid on triangular lattice, has been investigated by H 1 NMR …

… Y. Chun for various comments. The authors would like to express their appreciation to the
members of the Aeolian Dust Experiment on Climate impact (ADEC) for their helpful discussion…

The effects of grain size on magnetic properties of nonoriented electrical steel sheets were
investigated at the commercial power of frequency (50 Hz). The permeability, magnetic …

Objectives The goal of this study was to compare the risk of stroke between patients with
carotid artery disease with and without the presence of intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) on …

Land degradation by water and wind erosion is a serious problem worldwide. Despite the
significant amount of research on this topic, quantifying these processes at large- or regional-…

In order to reduce energy loss in motors, the use of high-efficiency non-oriented electrical
steel sheets and an optimal motor core design are important. It is also crucial to minimize the …

Ebola virus (EBOV) causes severe hemorrhagic fever in humans and nonhuman primates
with high mortality rates. Rapid identification of the virus is required to prevent spread of the …

We present maps of threshold wind speed for dust emission in east Asia, which are statistically
evaluated from synoptic surface meteorological data. We define threshold wind speeds …
