BaSi2 epitaxial films were grown on Si(111) substrates by a two-step growth method including reactive deposition epitaxy (RDE) and molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). To enlarge the grain size of BaSi2, the Ba deposition rate and duration were varied from 0.25 to 1.0 nm/min and from 5 to 120 min during RDE, respectively. The effect of post-annealing was also investigated at 760 °C for 10 min. Plan-view transmission electron micrographs indicated that the grain size in the MBE-grown BaSi2 was significantly increased up to approximately 4.0 μm, which is much larger than 0.2 μm, reported previously.

Al or B layers of a few hundreds of nm in thickness deposited on BaSi2 epitaxial films on Si(1 1 1) substrates were annealed at different temperatures, and the diffusion coefficients of Al and B were evaluated using secondary ion mass spectrometry with O2+. We also investigated the effect of post annealing (850 °C, 10 min) of BaSi2 films on the diffusion coefficients. It was found that both the lattice diffusion and the grain boundary diffusion were decreased by the post-annealing. The plan-view transmission electron microscopy images revealed that the grain size was increased from approximately 0.2 to 0.6 μm by the annealing, and the X-ray diffraction intensities also increased. The activation energies of lattice and grain boundary diffusions in the post-annealed BaSi2 are 0.63 eV and 0.58 eV for Al, and 4.6 eV and 4.4 eV for B, respectively.

We describe the rare-RI (radioactive isotope) ring at the RI Beam Factory (RIBF). The main purpose of the rare-RI ring is to measure the mass of very neutron-rich nuclei, the production rates of which are very small (hence ‘rare RI’) and the lifetimes of which are predicted to be very short. In the rare-RI ring, there are two innovative pieces of apparatus: individual injection, which can realize the injection of 200 A MeV rare RIs one by one, and a cyclotron-like storage ring, which allows high isochronous magnetic fields with large angular and momentum acceptances. With these devices, we will achieve a 10−6 mass resolution, and will be able to access rare RIs, the production rate of which is down to 1 event/day/pnA. Construction of the rare-RI ring started in fiscal year 2012.

The Dahomey gap is a savanna region separating the West African rainforests to two regions. We set two sites in this woody savanna, at north and south regions in purpose to examine the differences in tree community properties between sites and among canopy-closure types, and to reveal the factors affecting the differences. Two sites are ca. 225 km distant from each other and have different rainfall patterns. Six 1-ha plots in each site were studied, which cover three types of canopy-closure (closed, semi-open and open). We recorded 3,720 trees that are equal to or more than 5 cm diameter at the breast height, consisted of 70 species belonging to 34 families. Most abundant three species, Isoberlinia doka, Vitellaria paradoxa and Pericopsis laxiflora appeared in both sites. The detrended correspondence analysis (DCA) based on species abundance divided 12 plots into groups of north and south sites along the first axis, whereas canopy-closure types were not associated with DCA axes. At any given total tree height, trees in the north site had slenderer stems with narrower crowns than those in the south site. The specific leaf area was smaller in the north site. Between-site differences in species abundance and allometry are possibly driven by rainfall variation.

Prostate cancer is a common disease in modern, developed societies and has a high incidence and mortality. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) has recently received much attention as a possible risk marker of prostate cancer development and prognosis. In the present article, we summarized findings from epidemiologic studies of the association between HDL-C and prostate cancer. Low HDL-C level was found to be a risk and prognostic factor of prostate cancer in several epidemiologic studies, although the overall linkage between HDL and prostate cancer has not been definitively established. The mechanisms for this association remain uncertain; however, limited data from experimental studies imply a possible role of HDL in the pathophysiology of prostate cancer. More epidemiologic research, in combination with experimental studies, is needed in this field.

Stacks of intrinsic Josephson junctions in high-temperature superconductors enable the fabrication of compact sources of coherent terahertz radiation. Here, we demonstrate that multiple stacks patterned on the same Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ crystal can—under optimized conditions—be synchronized to emit high-power THz-radiation. For three synchronized stacks, we achieved 610 μW of continuous-wave coherent radiation power at 0.51 THz. We suggest that synchronization is promoted by THz-waves in the base crystal. We note that synchronization cannot be achieved in all samples. However even in these cases, powers on the 100-μW scale can be generated.

Hydrophilic endohedral <SUP>133</SUP>Xe-fullerenols [<SUP>133</SUP>Xe@C<SUB>76</SUB> (OH) <SUB>x</SUB> and <SUP>133</SUP>Xe@C84 (OH) <SUB>x</SUB>] were synthesized from hydrophobic endohedral <SUP>133</SUP>Xe-fullerenes. The yields were found to depend on the solubility of endohedral <SUP>133</SUP>Xe-fullerenols in ο-dichlorobenzene and water phases, reflecting the number of OH groups of the product. The endohedral <SUP>133</SUP>Xe-fullerenols stored in 0.9% NaCl solution at 20°C were stable enough for the use in nuclear medicine.

Photovoltaic (PV) systems are often nonuniformly illuminated owing to shadows of neighboring buildings, trees, clouds, etc. In order to reduce the effect of shadows on solar panels, we propose the concept of a PV system with reconnection; this system consists of PV arrays that can be reconnected to minimize the mismatch loss, depending on the output of each of its module, measured at regular time intervals. In this study, the relationship between the output improvement with reconnection and the switching interval is shown. For a 3-kW PV system, under conditions of cloudlessness and cloudiness, a sharp difference in the output improvement relative to the switching interval is not observed. However, under the condition of shading, the output improvement sharply decreases relative to the switching interval; the output improvement at a 1-min switching interval is 0.15 kWh·h (+22.4%). For the 90-kW building-integrated photovoltaic system, during the summer solstice, a sharp difference in the output improvement relative to the switching interval is not observed. However, during the vernal equinox and winter solstice, when a large area of the PV system is shaded for a long period of time, the output improvement sharply decreases relative to the switching interval. The output improvement at a 1-min switching interval is 6.5 kWh·d (+2.9%) during the vernal equinox and 2.3 kWh·d (+3.7%) during winter solstice.

The analysis of the fully developed turbulence with the help of the binomial multiplicative process is reinvestigated from the standpoint of Tsallis nonextensive statistics in order to provide some insight in understanding the underlying physical meaning of the Tsallis ensemble. The formula is derived which relates Tsallis index q with the intermittency exponent μ that is a manifestation of multifractality of the sizes of eddies. It is shown that the probability density function of the local dissipation of turbulent kinetic energy can be represented by a distribution function of the type in Tsallis statistics with the index q determined by the experimentally observable quantity μ through the derived formula.

Recently, the smoothed correlation between the density of eigenvalues of Hermitian random matrices was found to be universal, that is, independent of the probability distribution from which the random matrices are taken. We study this universal correlation numerically by ensemble averaging, using the Monte Carlo sampling method. Although the density of eigenvalues and the ‘‘bare’’ correlation between the density of eigenvalues are certainly not universal, we find that the smoothed correlation indeed shows a universal behavior. The orthogonal and the symplectic ensembles are also studied numerically. The smoothed correlation is shown to be universal in these cases.
