Assessing the Direct and Indirect Economic Impacts Across Japan of a Mount Fuji Eruption: A Scenario-Based Dynamic Interregional Analysis

This study conducts a scenario-based analysis of the potential economic impacts of an eruption of Mount Fuji across Japan’s urban systems, with a particular focus on the infrastructure services that support urban functions. Using a dynamic interregional input–output model, the an...

Tuning the deposition cycles of reduced graphene oxide on TiO2 nanorod arrays for enhanced photoelectrochemical performance

This study reports the systematic design of two-dimensional reduced graphene oxide (rGO) integrated with one-dimensional TiO 2 nanorod arrays (TNR) on fluorine-doped tin oxide substrates. The architecture was engineered through controlled layer-by-layer deposition across varying...

Kinetic Study on the Reactions of Hydroxyl Radical with 1‐butene, Isobutene, and Trimethylpentene: Temperature and Pressure Dependence

ABSTRACT The temperature dependence of the reaction rate coefficients ( k ) for the reactions of hydroxyl radical with three alkenes was measured by using laser‐induced fluorescence techniques in the temperature range of 298–750 K. The negative temperature dependence of k was obs...

Impact of SRR and CSRR placement strategies on microstrip antenna array performance: a comprehensive numerical and experimental investigation

Abstract This work presents a comprehensive numerical and experimental investigation of metamaterial-based split-ring resonator (SRR) and complementary split-ring resonator (CSRR) unit-cell placement strategies in a 2-element microstrip antenna array operating at 10 GHz. Unlike p...

Three-Dimensional Real Contact Area at the Tire–Asphalt Interface Revealed by Synchrotron X-Ray CT

Abstract Tire and road wear particles are considered a major source of microplastic pollution globally, necessitating a deeper understanding of friction and wear mechanisms at the tire–road interface. A key parameter governing these phenomena is the real contact area; however, to...
