Laser-driven expansion of pure-tin microdroplets was demonstrated to produce an efficient and low-debris extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) light source. The pre-expansion is indispensable for resolving the considerable mismatch between optimal laser spot diameter (∼300μm) (∼20μm) containing minimum-mass Sn fuel generating required EUV radiant energy (∼10mJ/pulse). Explosive attained by using a prepulse, whose intensity at least 3×1011W∕cm2. expanded microdroplet irradiated with CO2 pulse generate...
This cross-sectional study investigated the association between chronic pain and physical frailty in community-dwelling older adults. We analyzed data obtained from 323 adults (women: 74.6%) who participated a community-based health check survey (the Tarumizu Study, 2017). Physical was defined terms of five parameters (exhaustion, slowness, weakness, low activity, weight loss). assessed prevalence back knee using questionnaires. Participants whose had lasted ≥two months were considered to...
Aim Perceived health status, including physical and cognitive fitness, will be negatively associated with future conditions among old‐old adults. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic has caused sudden changes in lifestyle. Thus, this study examined the associations of participation an exercise class before COVID‐19 habits disruption to rhythms daily life during state emergency perceived declining fitness community‐dwelling Methods In July 2020, we carried out a mail survey adults...
This study aimed to assess the effects of a multicomponent exercise program on physical function and muscle mass in older adults with sarcopenia or pre-sarcopenia. Moreover, we aim standardize for easy incorporation daily life community-dwelling as secondary outcome. A single-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted individuals (≥60 years) who had pre-sarcopenia (n = 72). Participants were randomly assigned control groups. The consisted 12 weekly 60-minute sessions that included...
<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Although arterial stiffness has been suggested to be associated with poor physical function and mild cognitive impairment (MCI), its association frailty (CF), a comorbidity of both, is unclear. This study aims examine the between CF in community-dwelling older adults. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A cross-sectional analysis 511 adults aged 65 years or (mean age 73.6 ± 6.2 years, 63.6% women), who participated community...
This cross-sectional study investigated the association between osteoporosis, grip strength, and skeletal muscle mass in community-dwelling older women. Data obtained from 265 women who participated a community-based health check survey (Tarumizu Study) were analyzed. Face-to-face interviews with participants revealed their history of osteoporosis. Appendicular was assessed through bioelectrical impedance analysis, appendicular index calculated. Dominant strength also assessed. Loss...
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an abrupt change in lifestyle for many people with restrictions, often leading to a decrease physical activity (PA), and thus contributing negative perception of health status. purpose this study was examine the effects epidemic on perceived fitness Japanese adults aged 40 69 years. Data were collected from online survey conducted between October 19 28, 2020. analytic sample consisted 1989 (mean age, 50.1 ± 6.9 years; women, 38.9%) who years completed survey....
Roller massage has been recognized as an effective intervention for managing various conditions. However, data on the effects of roller dynamic mechanisms myofascial and soft tissues lower back are limited. This study aimed to examine effect self-myofascial release gliding, lumbar flexibility, abdominal trunk muscle strength using a massager. crossover included 24 college athletes who underwent three interventions—roller massage, static stretching, control (rest). Before after intervention,...
Muscle strength and mass strongly influence performance. The role of the trunk, upper limbs, lower limbs in a specific performance is important but unclear terms muscle strength, mass, degree each part. Standing long jump that produces results by not only muscles working together also entire body, including trunk limbs. To determine body part on standing jump, 31 healthy young adults (18 males 13 females) participated this study. Abdominal grip knee extension were measured, which was defined...
The aim of this cross-sectional study was to examine the association between diet variety and physical frailty in community-dwelling older adults. Data 577 adults (mean age: 74.0 ± 6.3 years, women: 62.5%) were analyzed. Diet assessed using Food Frequency Score (FFS) (maximum, 30 points). FFS one-week consumption frequency ten foods (meat, fish/shellfish, eggs, milk & dairy products, soybean green yellow vegetables, potatoes, fruits, seafood, fats oil). Physical Fried’s component...
Out-of-band (OOB) radiation (at wavelengths longer than 130nm) from an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light source reduces the precision of lithography. The energy OOB laser-produced Sn plasmas were measured by using absolutely calibrated transmission grating spectrometer equipped with a charge-coupled device. dependence radiant on mass and size tin fuel was clarified. dominant is peripheral heating around laser spot via electron thermal conduction high-temperature EUV emission region.
Magnitude 8 megathrust earthquakes that have generated large tsunamis with wave heights of >5 m in coastal areas southwestern Japan occurred every 100–150 years along the Nankai–Suruga Trough, which marks convergent boundary between Eurasian and Philippine Sea plates. Using sedimentological, geochemical, paleontological analyses, as well 14C dating, we examined tsunami deposits 12 sediment cores collected from Hamatome lowland, Yaizu Plain, Shizuoka, faces Suruga Trough. Four sandy (Sands...
Hearing impairment (HI) is associated with dementia. However, the cognitive screening tasks effective in older community dwellers presenting HI are unclear.We retrospectively and cross-sectionally investigated associations between function assessed using data from two healthcare check-up programs for ≥65 years old 2018. We examined demographics, risk factors, function, hearing condition, lifestyles, self-care levels. Cognitive was clock drawing task delayed three words recall task. condition...
Propulsion force and trailing limb angle (TLA) are meaningful indicators for evaluating quality of gait. This study examined the validity measurement TLA propulsion during various gait conditions using magnetic inertial units (IMU), based on measurements a three-dimensional motion analysis system platform. Eighteen healthy males (mean age 25.2 ± 3.2 years, body height 1.70 0.06 m) walked with without trunk fluctuation at preferred, slow, fast velocities. IMU were fixed thorax, lumbar spine,...
Health literacy is important for promoting and maintaining good health in old-old adults. It may influence the implementation of exercise coronavirus disease epidemic. The present cross-sectional study investigated association each dimension with during declaration a state emergency due to community-dwelling We collected data from 483 adults (52.8% women) aged between 77 99 years who participated mail survey. Participants were divided into or nonexercise groups based on emergency. was...
