Most large earthquakes occur along an oceanic trench, where an oceanic plate subducts
beneath a continental plate. Massive earthquakes with a moment magnitude, M w , of nine …

Prion diseases, such as scrapie and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in animals
and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) in humans, are neurodegenerative conditions …

Analysis of global positioning system data shows that the rate of crustal deformations in the
Tokai region of Japan, a seismic gap area, changed over the past 18 months. Kalman …

We estimated the spatial and temporal evolution of the preceding aseismic slip from January
2003 to January 2011, the coseismic slip of the Tohoku earthquake, and the postseismic …

Temporal change of deformation in northeastern Japan is clarified by continuous Global
Positioning System (GPS) observations from 1995 April to 2002 March. The observed GPS …

The two‐dimensional displacement vector field on the Earth's surface associated with a
large earthquake near Iwate volcano in Japan, was mapped by combining satellite radar …

Objectives To clarify the factors influencing two measures of arterial stiffness, pulse wave
velocity (PWV) and the second derivative of the finger photoplethysmogram (SDPTG), and to …

We detected short‐term slow slip events (SSEs) previously observable only with tilt and strain
data along the Nankai Trough, southwest Japan, using GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite …

We evaluated the efficacy and safety of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for patients
with head and neck tumors. From April 2005 through April 2008, 34 patients with head …

Southwest Japan is located in the subduction margin between the continental Amurian and
oceanic Philippine Sea plates. Recent land GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) and …
