Triplet Excimer of TIPS-Anthracene in Solution

Abstract Triplet excitons possess unique characteristics of long lifetimes and fission (singlet fission, SF)–fusion (triplet–triplet annihilation, TTA) features and hence have attracted considerable attention. Because the singlet–triplet transition is spin forbidden, leading to t...

Sexual segregation in foraging behavior varies with breeding site and year in seabirds

Abstract In many animals, behavioral sex differences can produce spatial or temporal segregation, known as sexual segregation, which is thought to reduce competition and satisfy sex-specific physiological demands. In breeding central-place foraging seabirds, sexual segregation ma...

A Digitally Controlled Flow–Batch Platform for Reproducible Radical Copolymerization with Reduced Composition Drift

Abstract Free-radical copolymerization is widely used industrially, but scale transfer can alter polymer properties through changes in mixing and heat transfer. We developed a digitally controlled flow–batch platform integrating a micromixer, heated tubular reactor, and batch rea...

Temporal change in mass eruption rate estimated from co-eruptive seismograms during 2014–2018 eruption at Sinabung Volcano, Indonesia

Abstract An effusive eruption occurred at Sinabung volcano, Indonesia, from December 2013 to February 2018. The eruption peaked with violent pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) and a lava flow in the first three months of 2014 and then gradually declined. After the lava flow acti...

Highly conductive regenerated cellulose fibers containing high-quality single-walled carbon nanotubes

Abstract This study demonstrates the successful fabrication of highly conductive regenerated cellulose fibers (RCFs) through the proper mixing of single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) retaining the high quality at concentration of 1.0–3.0 wt% in the dispersions. The CNT dispersio...

Improved tradeoffs in operation of multi-purpose reservoir by considering medium-range operational ensemble forecast

Potential improvement in tradeoffs among the operation purposes of a multi-purpose reservoir by introducing adaptive operation considering medium-range operational ensemble hydrological forecast was investigated in this study. One-week Ensemble Forecast of precipitation provided...

Analysis of Pharmacist Interventions during Remote Accompaniment to Physician’s Home Visits in a Medically Underserved Area: A Comparative Study with Conventional In-Person Practice

Participation of pharmacists during physicians’ home visits is effective in home healthcare. However, substantial practical barriers exist in regions where medical resources are unevenly distributed. This study sought to clarify the effectiveness and limitations of a hybrid onlin...
