The recent long-term shutdown of Japanese nuclear reactors has resulted in a significantly reduced reactor ν¯e flux at KamLAND. This running condition provides unique opportunity to confirm and constrain backgrounds for the oscillation analysis. data set also improved sensitivity other signals, particular ν¯e’s produced β-decays from U238 Th232 within Earth’s interior, whose energy spectrum overlaps with that ν¯e’s. Including constraints on θ13 accelerator short-baseline neutrino...

This paper demonstrates real-time short-term traffic flow prediction through distributed fiber-optic sensing (DFOS) and data assimilation with a stochastic cell-automata-based model. Traffic congestion on expressways is severe issue. To alleviate its negative impacts, it necessary to optimize prior becoming serious congestion. For this purpose, promising. However, conventional monitoring apparatus used in methods faces technical issue due the sparsity data. overcome for realizing prediction,...

Currently, hepatitis B virus (HBV) re-infection after liver transplantation (LT) can be almost completely suppressed by the administration of HBV reverse transcriptase inhibitors and immunoglobulins. However, transplantation, there is no indicator replication because tests for serum surface antigen HBV-DNA are both negative. Therefore, criteria reducing discontinuing these precautions unclear. In this study, we examined core-related (HBcrAg) intrahepatic covalently closed circular DNA...
