Abstract: The increasing demand for the high energy density of lithium-ion batteries gives rise to the development of larger particle sizes of the active electrode materials. 20 μm-sized Li(Co 1− x Li x )O 2− δ agglomerates are synthesized via solid-state reactions with different nominal compositions (Li/Co=1.00, 1.02, and 1.05) at 1000 °C for 5 h in ambient air while suppressing the lithium vaporization. Careful inductively coupled plasma and iodometric measurements indicate the existence of tetravalent cobalt in the solid solutions ( x >0). The decreasing ideal capacity with the increasing x value could cause the resulting initial capacities at under a quasi-equilibrium condition. The defect structure is also discussed in terms of the structural parameters calculated from Rietveld refinements of the high-energy synchrotron-radiation powder-diffraction data.

Abstract: Background: Early-stage breast cancer is increasingly detected by screening mammography, and we aim to establish radiofrequency ablation therapy (RFA) as a minimally invasive, cost-efficient, and cosmetically acceptable local treatment. In our Phase I study, localized tumors with a maximum diameter of 2 cm, preoperatively diagnosed by imaging and histopathology, were treated with RFA. A 90% complete ablation rate was confirmed histopathologically. Our phase II multicenter study of RFA without resection for early breast cancer will evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of RFA as well as its cosmetic results, which are a perceived advantage of this technique. Trial design: This study is a Phase III, single-arm, multicenter study being conducted with the participation of 11 hospitals. In our experimental therapy, a radiofrequency electrode needle is inserted through the skin into the breast lesion under imaging guidance, followed by thermal ablation with radiofrequency waves. RFA will be conducted under general anesthesia. The Cool-tip™ RF Ablation Single Electrode Kit (Medtronic, CO, USA) will be used to standardize the evaluation of the ablation effect. After RFA, all patients will receive radiotherapy and systemic therapy according to the ER, HER2, tumor grade, and lymph node status of the primary tumor. Residual lesions after RFA will be assessed approximately 3 months after radiotherapy using imaging and pathological studies. All patients will undergo vacuum-assisted biopsy regardless of imaging results. If specimens show viable tumor tissue, additional excision will be performed. Follow-up evaluation for residual tumor, including clinical breast examination and diagnostic imaging (ultrasound, MRI, and mammography), will be performed yearly after RFA. This trial has been registered at the UMIN Clinical Trials Registry as UMIN000012429. Eligibility criteria: Early breast cancer patients, who are lack of prior treatment for breast cancer and histologically confirmed ductal carcinoma with a single localized tumor of 1.5 cm or less in the greatest dimension and clinically node negative on preoperative imaging. Specific Aims: The primary endpoint is 5-year ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence(IBTR) rate, and the secondary endpoints are residual lesion rate, overall survival, DFS, and adverse events of RFA. Statistical methods: The IBTR rate should be similar to that with standard treatment (BCS). However, the IBTR after RFA alone may be higher by up to 10% than in the NSABP-B06 study; therefore the 5-year IBTR rate is estimated to be 6.3%. We calculated the required sample size based on the following assumptions: a clinically acceptable 5-year local recurrence-free survival rate of 90%, a one-sided significance level of 5% (alpha = 0.1, 2-sided), and power of 80% (beta = 0.2). Taking into account a drop-out rate of 10%, approximately 372 patients will be enrolled in the study. Present accrual and target accrual: The trial was activated in August 2013, with a total of 372 patients enrolled by the end of June 2018.

Abstract: Specimens of A533B steels containing 0.04, 0.09 and 0.21 wt%Cu were irradiated at 290 °C to 3 dpa with 3 MeV Fe ions and subjected to atom probe analyses, transmission electron microscopy observations and hardness measurements. The atom probe analysis results showed that two types of solute clusters were formed: Cu-enriched clusters containing Mn, Ni and Si atoms as irradiation-enhanced solute atom clusters and Mn/Ni/Si-enriched clusters as irradiation-induced solute atom clusters. Both cluster types occurred in the highest Cu-content steel and the ratio of Mn/Ni/Si-enriched clusters to Cu-enriched clusters increased with irradiation doses. It was confirmed that the cluster formation was a key factor in the microstructure evolution until the high dose irradiation was reached even in the low Cu content steels though the dislocation loops with much lower density than that of the clusters were observed as matrix damage. The difference in the hardening efficiency due to the difference in the nature of the clusters was small. The irradiation-induced clustering of undersized Si atoms suggested that a clustering driving force other than vacancy-driven diffusion, probably an interstitial mechanism, may become important at higher dose rates.

Abstract: There are many studies that show biological differences between invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) with and without nodal metastasis, but no prognostic classification taking into consideration any biological differences between them is currently available. We previously investigated the histological characteristics that play an important role in tumour progression of IDCs according to their nodal status, and a new prognostic histological classification, the primary tumour–vessel tumour–nodal tumour (PVN) classification, was devised based on the histological characteristics of IDCs with and without nodal metastasis. Multivariate analyses using the Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to compare the ability of the PVN classification to predict tumour recurrence and death in 393 IDC patients based on the following histological classifications: (1) the pTNM classification, (2) the Nottingham Prognostic Index, (3) the modified Nottingham Prognostic Index, and (4) the histologic grade. In IDCs without nodal metastasis, only the PVN classification significantly increased the hazard rates (HRs) of tumour recurrence and death (P

Abstract: Background: Since the 1990s, primary endocrine therapy has been considered the gold standard in the adjuvant and metastatic treatment settings for estrogen and/or progesterone receptor (ER and/or PgR) positive breast cancer. This therapy has also been shown to be effective as neo-adjuvant endocrine therapy in these indications. In recent years, the focus of clinical interest has shifted to the third-generation aromatase inhibitors from tamoxifen. The optimal treatment duration time and causal relationship between neo-adjuvant endocrine therapy and survival, however, are not clear. We therefore conducted the present study to investigate the potential benefits of neo-adjuvant exemestane (E) therapy with the goal of identifying the optimal treatment duration (4 months versus 6 months). Methods: Conducted at three hospitals in Japan, this study was a multicenter, randomized phase II trial of pre-operative E treatment in postmenopausal women with untreated primary breast cancer. Fifty postmenopausal women with ER positive and/or PgR positive invasive breast cancer were randomly assigned to E (25 mg/day) for 4 months (4 mo) or E (25 mg/day) for 6 months (6 mo). All patient data were collected by UMIN and were analyzed by the National Cancer Center in Japan. Tumor regression (by clinical examination, ultrasound, and MRI), pathological response, shift towards breast-conserving surgery, and safety assessments were the main outcome measures. Results: Of the 50 patients that enrolled, 28 patients had undergone surgery. The mean ages in the 4 mo and 6 mo treatment groups were 66.7 years and 66.8 years, respectively. No significant differences in the patient characteristics were found in the two groups. The response rates (partial or complete responses) by clinical examination in the 4 mo and 6 mo groups were 37.5% and 50%, respectively. Pathological responses (minimal response or better) were found in 13.3% and 41.7% of patients and a partial mastectomy was performed in 50.0% and 58.3% of patients after 4 mo and 6 mo, respectively. Conclusion: To date, the results of this study demonstrate that treatment with E for 6 mo was more efficacious than treatment with E for 4 mo. Further work is in progress to obtain data from additional patients and to identify the optimal duration of neo-adjuvant E. Citation Information: Cancer Res 2010;70(24 Suppl):Abstract nr P1-12-07.

Abstract: Yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) is a candidate material focused as optical and insulating materials in nuclear reactors. Therefore, it is useful to investigate defect formation during irradiation, in order to assess YSZ resistance to radiation damage. In the present study, in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations were performed on YSZ during 30 keV Ne+ ion irradiation in the temperature range of 723–1123 K (using 100 K intervals). Results revealed that damage evolution morphology depends on irradiation temperature. For irradiations below 1023 K, defect clusters and bubbles were formed simultaneously. On the other hand, at 1123 K, only bubbles were formed in the initial stage of irradiation. Loops formed later following the bubble formation. It was also observed that, in the early stage of irradiation above 923 K, larger bubbles were formed along the loop planes compared with other areas. TEM observations indicated that dislocation loops formed on three kinds of crystallographic planes: namely, {1 0 0}, {1 1 1} and {1 1 2} planes.

Abstract: Spinel (MgAl 2 O 4 ) and yttria stabilized ZrO 2 (YSZ) are candidates for fuel materials for use in nuclear reactors and the optical and insulating materials for fusion reactors. In our previous studies, the amorphization of spinel under 60 keV Xe ion irradiation at RT was observed. On the other hand, amorphization could not be confirmed in YSZ single crystals under the same irradiation conditions. In the present study, the damage evolution process of polycrystalline spinel–YSZ composite materials has been studied by in situ TEM observation during ion irradiation. The irradiation was performed with 30 keV Ne + ions at a flux of 5 × 10 13 ions cm −2 s −1 at 923 K and 1473 K, respectively. The observed results revealed a clear difference in morphology of damage depending on irradiation temperature and crystal grains. In the irradiation at 923 K, defect clusters and bubbles were formed homogeneously in YSZ grains. On the other hand, at 1473 K, only bubble formation was observed. The bubbles grew remarkably with increasing ion fluence in both grains. Even though the growth of the bubbles was observed in both grains, the average diameter of grown bubbles in spinel grains was larger than those in YSZ ones. The bubbles tended to form along the grain boundary at both temperatures.

Abstract: The damage evolution processes in polycrystalline MgAl 2 O 4 -stabilized zirconia composite materials has been studied by in situ TEM observation. The irradiation was performed with 30 keV Ne + ions at a flux of 5 × 10 13 Ne/cm 2 s at room temperature. Defect cluster were formed in stabilized zirconia grain at fluence of 3 × 10 15 Ne/cm 2 and MgAl 2 O 4 grain within a fluence of 3 × 10 15 Ne/cm 2 . They grew with the increasing fluence. Bubbles were formed in both grains at a fluence of 3 × 10 15 Ne/cm 2 and they grew with the increasing fluence. We could observe bubbles on MgAl 2 O 4 -stabilized zirconia grain boundary at 9 × 10 15 Ne/cm 2 . Bubbles grew with the increased fluence. There is not much difference between bubbles on grain boundary and these in grain.

Abstract: SiC TEM specimens were irradiated with 20 keV Ne+ to the fluence of 1.5 × 1020 Ne+/m2 at 573, 598 and 673 K, and successively annealed at 1273 K for 30 min. In the case of 573 K irradiation, amorphization with irradiation and crystal nucleation with annealing occurred. Coalescence of the bubbles was clearly observed in the crystal nucleated area and epitaxial growth area. In the case of 598 K irradiation, partial amorphization occurred but crystal nucleation did not occur. In the case of 673 K irradiation, amorphization did not occur and no change was observed after annealing.

Abstract: Yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) is a candidate for use as optical and insulating material in a nuclear reactor and/or fusion reactor. In the present study, in situ observations by an electron microscope was performed during helium and xenon ion irradiations of YSZ single crystals. Damage evolution in the YSZ crystals was observed during irradiation with 35 keV He + with a flux of 5 × 10 13 ions/cm 2 s at 1073 K, 1273 K and 1473 K. The damage evolution was also observed with 60 keV Xe 2+ with a flux of 5 × 10 12 ions/cm 2 s at 1073 K and 1473 K. In these cases, bubble formation was clearly observed. Dislocation loops were formed by Xe ion irradiation at both temperatures but were not formed by He. This result shows clear dependence of loop formation on the ion species. Dependence of the loop formation on irradiation temperature was also shown in comparison with previous experimental results.

Abstract: SiC thin specimens were amorphized with 30 keV Ne+ or 4.5 keV He+ irradiations at room temperature and then annealed in a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The energy and flux of these ion species were determined in order to get similar dpa profiles in depth and similar dpa rates. The peak ion implantation of He was estimated to be about five times as large as that of Ne for the same peak dpa. The crystal nucleation occurred with annealing in the case of 6.3 dpa (peak) He irradiation, on the other hand, it did not occur in the case of 15 dpa (peak) Ne irradiation. On the basis of the obtained results, it is shown that the crystal nucleation was promoted by the implantation of the inert gas atoms.

Abstract: In situ TEM observation was performed on yttria-stabilized zirconia during 30 keV Ne + ion irradiation at room temperature, 923 and 1473 K, respectively, and annealing was performed after irradiation. The observed results revealed clear difference in morphology of damage evolution depending on irradiation temperature. In the irradiation at room temperature defect clusters and bubbles were formed homogeneously at random, and defect clusters were formed earlier than bubbles. In the irradiation at 923 K bubbles and dislocation loops are formed heterogeneously almost at the same time. Moreover, bubbles existed almost only on the loop planes but were almost invisible outside of loop planes in the early stage of irradiation. In the irradiation at 1473 K only bubbles were formed and they grew remarkably with the increasing ion fluence. In annealing remarkable growth of bubbles were observed when temperature was raised from 1373 to 1473 K.

Abstract: In dogs effects of phenobarbital (PB) on hepatic cytochrome P450 (CYP) activities and on concentrations of plasma alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) were examined. Total body clearance (Cl(B)) of antipyrine and plasma AGP concentrations were monitored during oral PB treatment at a therapeutic dose for 35 days. Cl(B) of antipyrine, which reflects hepatic CYP activities, gradually increased and was maintained at about threefold concentrations compared with that before treatment, suggesting that PB induced CYP activities at a large extent even in a therapeutic dose, necessary for an antiepileptic effect. Plasma AGP concentrations also increased significantly (about fourfold). Dogs were killed at the 35th day of the PB treatment, and hepatic CYP content and enzyme kinetics of several CYPs were determined using liver microsomes. CYP content was about twofold higher than that from untreated dogs. The V(max) values for CYP1A-like activity (ethoxyresorufin O-deethylation), 2B-like activity (ethoxycoumarin O-deethylation), 2C-like activity (tolbutamide hydroxylation) and 3A-like activity (midazolam 4-hydroxylation) were higher (2-4-fold) than that in untreated dogs. In summary, a therapeutic dose of PB for antiepileptic therapy significantly induced hepatic CYPs and plasma AGP in dogs. Therefore, during antiepileptic therapy with PB, special attention must be paid to the pharmacokinetics of drugs simultaneously administered.

Abstract: We present a measurement of the branching fraction for the semileptonic B decay B 0 →D + l − ν , where l− can be either an electron or a muon. We find Γ( B 0 →D + l − ν )=(13.79±0.76±2.51) ns −1 , and the resulting branching fraction B ( B 0 →D + l − ν )=(2.13±0.12±0.39)% , where the first error is statistical and the second systematic. We also investigate the B 0 →D + l − ν form factor and the implications of the result for |Vcb|. From a fit to the differential decay distribution we obtain the rate normalization |Vcb|FD(1)=(4.11±0.44±0.52)×10−2. Using a theoretical calculation of FD(1), the Cabibbo–Kobayashi–Maskawa matrix element |Vcb|=(4.19±0.45±0.53±0.30)×10−2 is obtained, where the last error comes from the theoretical uncertainty of FD(1). The results are based on a data sample of 10.2fb−1 recorded at the ϒ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e− collider.

Abstract: We present a measurement of the Cabibbo–Kobayashi–Maskawa (CKM) matrix element |Vcb| using a 10.2 fb−1 data sample recorded at the ϒ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric e+e− storage ring. By extrapolating the differential decay width of the B 0 →D ∗+ e − ν decay to the kinematic limit at which the D ∗+ is at rest with respect to the B 0 , we extract the product of |Vcb| with the normalization of the decay form factor F(1), |Vcb|F(1)=(3.54±0.19±0.18)×10−2, where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic. A value of |Vcb|=(3.88±0.21±0.20±0.19)×10−2 is obtained using a theoretical calculation of F(1), where the third error is due to the theoretical uncertainty in the value of F(1). The branching fraction B ( B 0 →D ∗+ e − ν ) is measured to be (4.59±0.23±0.40)×10−2.

Abstract: We report measurements for two-body charmless B decays with an eta' meson in the final state. Using 11.1X10^6 BBbar pairs collected with the Belle detector, we find BF(B^+ ->eta'K^+)=(79^+12_-11 +-9)x10^-6 and BF(B^0 -> eta'K^0)=(55^+19_-16 +-8)x10^-6, where the first and second errors are statistical and systematic, respectively. No signal is observed in the mode B^+ -> eta' pi^+, and we set a 90% confidence level upper limit of BF(B^+-> eta'pi^+) eta'K^+- decays is investigated and a limit at 90% confidence level of -0.20

Abstract: We report a determination of the ${B}_{d}^{0}\ensuremath{-}{\overline{B}}_{d}^{0}$ mixing parameter $\ensuremath{\Delta}{m}_{d}$ based on the time evolution of dilepton yields in $\ensuremath{\Upsilon}(4S)$ decays. The measurement is based on a $5.9{\mathrm{fb}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ data sample collected by the Belle detector at KEKB. The proper-time difference distributions for same-sign and opposite-sign dilepton events are simultaneously fitted to an expression containing $\ensuremath{\Delta}{m}_{d}$ as a free parameter. Using both muons and electrons, we obtain $\ensuremath{\Delta}{m}_{d}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}0.463\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.008(\mathrm{stat})\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.016(\mathrm{syst}){\mathrm{ps}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$. This is the first determination of $\ensuremath{\Delta}{m}_{d}$ from time evolution measurements at the $\ensuremath{\Upsilon}(4S)$. We also place limits on possible $\mathrm{CPT}$ violations.

Abstract: We present a measurement of the standard model $\mathrm{CP}$ violation parameter $\mathrm{sin}2{\ensuremath{\varphi}}_{1}$ (also known as $\mathrm{sin}2\ensuremath{\beta}$) based on a $10.5{\mathrm{fb}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ data sample collected at the $\ensuremath{\Upsilon}(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ collider. One neutral $B$ meson is reconstructed in the $J/\ensuremath{\psi}{K}_{S}$, $\ensuremath{\psi}(2S){K}_{S}$, ${\ensuremath{\chi}}_{c1}{K}_{S}$, ${\ensuremath{\eta}}_{c}{K}_{S}$, $J/\ensuremath{\psi}{K}_{L}$, or $J/\ensuremath{\psi}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}$ $\mathrm{CP}$-eigenstate decay channel and the flavor of the accompanying $B$ meson is identified from its charged particle decay products. From the asymmetry in the distribution of the time interval between the two $B$-meson decay points, we determine $\mathrm{sin}2{\ensuremath{\varphi}}_{1}{\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}0.58}_{\ensuremath{-}0.34}^{+0.32}(\mathrm{stat}{)}_{\ensuremath{-}0.10}^{+0.09}(\mathrm{syst})$.

Abstract: Helium (He+) or Deuterium (D2+) (20 keV) was implanted into polycrystalline β-SiC with an ion dose of 7.2 × 1021 (D or He)/m2. The implanted specimens were heated at a heating rate of 10 or 20 K/min from room temperature to 1373 K, and the thermal release spectroscopic data were obtained. A sharp peak appeared at approximately 1270 K in the case of He release, and here the activation energy was estimated to be approximately 4.4 eV. Two overlapped peaks appeared at approximately 900 and 1200 K in the case of D2 release. The shapes of spectra showed strong dependence on the heating rate.

Abstract: To characterize the morphological features of the myelinated fibers in the mutant quails deficient in neurofilaments (NF), caused by a nonsense mutation in the NF-L gene, the morphological parameters of the axon and myelin sheath, and their relationships in the peroneal nerve were evaluated. In the mutant, the axonal area was smaller than in the control (P0.01), reflecting the lack of large diameter axons. There was no significant difference in the mean number of myelin lamellae and of their spacings between controls and mutants. Therefore, it was decided to analyze the alteration of axonal parameters in relation to the number of myelin lamellae. In the regression analysis, the number of microtubules (MT) per square micrometer of the axonal area was greater in the mutant than in the control (P0.05); however, the number of MT per axon was similar in controls and mutants with the same given number of myelin lamellae. The number of MT+NF per axon was smaller in the mutant than in the control only for myelinated fibers with more than 25 myelin lamellae (P0.05). These findings indicate that there was a less significant effect of NF deficiency on the smaller than on the larger myelinated fibers. There was no compensatory increase in the numbers of MT per axon of the myelinated fibers in the mutant as found previously in the unmyelinated fibers of the mutant.

Abstract: The Belle spectrometer was designed for studies of B meson decays at an asymmetric e + e − collider operating at the ϒ(4S) resonance. One of its crucial components, a silicon vertex detector (SVD), is placed just outside a cylindrical beryllium beam-pipe. After a year of Belle operation an upgraded version of SVD was installed during the regular summer shut-down. The new SVD follows the same design, with a few important improvements. Rad-soft readout electronics was replaced by rad-tolerant one, allowing for longer lifetime of the detector. A new radiation and temperature monitoring system was developed and implemented. A saw-shaped inner surface was introduced in the beam-pipe to prevent potential synchrotron radiation damage. The upgraded detector started operating successfully in October 2000.

Abstract: The carbohydrate chains represented by mucins (MUCs) are expressed by a variety of normal and malignant secretory epithelial cells and induce a variety of immunoreactions. Tn and sialyl Tn antigens are tumour-associated carbohydrate antigens which are borne on the core proteins of mucins. The purpose of this study is to investigate the existence of tumour-associated carbohydrate antigens in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).. We examined the expression of Tn and sialyl Tn antigens in synovial tissues from RA and osteoarthritis (OA) patients by immunohistochemistry. In addition, mucins from synovial fluid (SF) from RA patients are purified by gel filtration and density gradient ultracentrifugation and the existence of these antigens examined by dot and Western blotting.We found that Tn and sialyl Tn antigens were strongly expressed in synovial cells and infiltrating mononuclear cells on the sublining layer and lymphoid follicles in synovial tissues in RA compared with those in osteoarthritis. Tn and sialyl Tn antigens were detected in purified mucins of SF from RA patients.Tumour-like synovial hyperplasia cells expressed Tn and sialyl Tn antigens. This finding suggests that the mucins exhibiting with abnormal glycosylation may be in part responsible for synovial hyperplasia, leading to the joint destruction in the pathogenesis of RA.

Abstract: Methotrexate (MTX) is most widely used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, it has certain drawbacks with regard to individual differences in its therapeutic effects as well as the differences in the patients' response to MTX therapy. We investigated whether multi-drug resistance-1 (ABCB1) C3435T, reduced folate carrier-1 (RFC1) G80A, 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide transformylase (ATIC) C347G and a 6bp-deletion polymorphism in the 3'-untranslated region of the thymidylase synthase (TYMS) gene are predictive of MTX sensitivity and its adverse effects.Patients whose last maintenance dosage of MTX wasor= 6 mg/week were regarded as responders, while patients whose last maintenance dosage of MTX was6 mg/week or those in whom MTX therapy was changed due to poor response to MTX were regarded as non-responders. The data of 124 RA patients who had received MTX treatment were retrospectively analyzed for polymorphisms in the ABCB1, RFC1, ATIC and TYMS genes, MTX sensitivity and MTX toxicity.There were no significant differences in MTX sensitivity among the genotypes of RFC1, ATIC and TYMS genes. ABCB1 3435TT cases included statistically significantly more non-responders than 3435CC cases according to univariate analysis (crude odds ratio (OR) = 8.91, p = 0.001) and multivariate analysis (adjusted OR = 8.78, p = 0.038). There were no significant differences in MTX toxicity among the genotypes of all the genes.These results suggested that the genetic diagnosis of ABCB1 C3435T can be applied to determine MTX sensitivity for the treatment of RA patients. However, further pharmacokinetics studies are required in this regard.

Abstract: Most of the inputs of actual plants have the limitations of variation range. These limitations may be due to physical restrictions on the actuators. It is well known that the effects of actuator saturation cause the deterioration of control performance called windup phenomena. In this paper, a novel anti-windup strategy for multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems subject to actuator saturation is proposed. The method is based on the notion of timescale transform. Some simulation and experimental results are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Abstract: The evidence for direct charged particles (CP) violation in the decay B0→K+ π- was investigated with 253 fb-1 of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e + e- collider. 275 x 106 BB pairs were used to observe a B→K±π∓ signal with 2140 ±53 events. Mixing induced CP violation in the B sector was established in b → ccs transitions. The result suggests large interference between tree and penguin diagrams and the existence of final state interactions.

Abstract: We report evidence for the decay $B^0 \to \pi^0 \pi^0$. The analysis is based on a data sample of 152 million $B\bar{B}$ pairs collected at the $\Upsilon(4s)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB $e^+ e^-$ storage ring. We find $25.6^{+ 9.3}_{-8.4}(stat)^{+1.6}_{-1.4}(syst)$ $B^0 \to \pi^0 \pi^0$ signal events with a significance of 3.4 standard deviations. We measure the branching fraction to be ($1.7 \pm 0.6 (stat) \pm 0.2 (syst))*10^{-6}$.

Abstract: We present an improved measurement of CP-violating asymmetries in B 0→π+π- decays based on a 78 fb -1 data sample collected at the Y(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+ e- collider. We reconstruct one neutral B meson as a B0→π+π - CP eigenstate and identify the flavor of the accompanying B meson from inclusive properties of its decay products. We apply an unbinned maximum likelihood fit to the distribution of the time intervals between the two B meson decay points. The fit yields the CP-violating asymmetry amplitudes A ππ= +0.77 ±0.27(stat) ±0.08(syst) and S ππ=-1.23 ±0.41(stat) -0.07 +0.08(syst), where the statistical uncertainties are determined from the Monte Carlo pseudoexperiments. We obtain confidence intervals for CP-violating asymmetry parameters Aππ and Sππ based on a frequentist approach. We rule out the CP-conserving case, A ππ=Sππ=0, at the 99.93% confidence level. We discuss how these results constrain the value of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) angle φ2. © 2003 The American Physical Society.

Abstract: A highly manufacturable embedded DRAM technology in SOI (Silicon On Insulator) has been developed for high-end SOC (System On a Chip). Partial etching of SOI/BOX (Buried OXide) layers and SEG (Selective Epitaxial Growth) processes simply transform an SOI wafer into a high quality SOI/bulk hybrid substrate wafer, which has both SOI substrate regions and bulk epitaxial Si regions. DRAM macros developed for the bulk can be introduced in SOI without any modification of the design and process, resulting in stable DRAM operation freed from floating-body effects. Fabrication of 1 Mb ADMs (Array Diagnostic Monitors) on the hybrid substrate wafer with the 0.18 /spl mu/m embedded DRAM process has attained all-bits-functional yield of 90%. Moreover, excellent data retention characteristics, by no means inferior to those for a bulk wafer, were obtained in SOI for the first time. The proposed methodology is attractive for SOI SOC, where high band width with low power consumption due to DRAM-embedding as well as high-speed/low-power circuit performance of SOI logic can be enjoyed.

Abstract: We report the first observation of the charmless hyperonic B decay, B0-->pLambda(pi)(-), using a 78 fb(-1) data sample recorded on the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at KEKB. The measured branching fraction is B(B0-->pLambda(pi)(-))=(3.97(+1.00)(-0.80)+/-0.56)x10(-6). Searches for B0-->pLambda(K)- and pSigma(0)pi(-) yield no significant signals and we set 90% confidence-level upper limits of B(B0-->pLambda(K)-) pSigma(0)pi(-))

Abstract: We report the measurement of the charmed baryonic decay ${\overline{B}}^{0}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}_{c}^{+}\overline{p}$ with a branching fraction of $({2.19}_{\ensuremath{-}0.49}^{+0.56}\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.32\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.57)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}5}$ and a statistical significance of $5.8\text{ }\ensuremath{\sigma}$. The errors are statistical, systematic, and the error of the ${\ensuremath{\Lambda}}_{c}^{+}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}p{K}^{\ensuremath{-}}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}$ decay branching fraction. This is the first observation of a two-body baryonic $B$ decay. The analysis is based on $78.2\text{ }{\mathrm{f}\mathrm{b}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ of data accumulated at the $\ensuremath{\Upsilon}(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ collider.

Abstract: We present a measurement of CP-violation parameters in the b→sqq penguin transitions (q = s,u,d) based on a 78 fb-1 data sample collected at the Y(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB energyasymmetric e+e- collider. One neutral B meson is reconstructed in the φKS 0, K+K -KS 0, or η′ KS 0 decay channel, and the flavor of the accompanying B meson is identified from its decay products. CP violation parameters for each of the three modes are obtained from the asymmetries in the distributions of the proper-time intervals between the two B decays. © 2003 The American Physical Society.

Abstract: We report measurements of branching fractions for charged and neutral $B\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\ensuremath{\eta}}_{c}K$ decays where the ${\ensuremath{\eta}}_{c}$ meson is reconstructed in the ${K}_{S}^{0}{K}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{\mp}}$, ${K}^{+}{K}^{\ensuremath{-}}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}$, ${K}^{*0}{K}^{\ensuremath{-}}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}$, and $p\overline{p}$ decay channels. The neutral ${B}^{0}$ channel is a $CP$ eigenstate and can be used to measure the $CP$ violation parameter $\mathrm{sin} 2{\ensuremath{\varphi}}_{1}$. We also report the first observation of the ${B}^{0}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\ensuremath{\eta}}_{c}{K}^{*0}$ mode. The results are based on an analysis of $29.1\text{ }{\mathrm{f}\mathrm{b}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ of data collected by the Belle detector at KEKB.

Abstract: We report the first observation of the charmless hyperonic B decay, B0--pLambda(pi)(-), using a 78 fb(-1) data sample recorded on the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at KEKB. The measured branching fraction is B(B0--pLambda(pi)(-))=(3.97(+1.00)(-0.80)+/-0.56)x10(-6). Searches for B0--pLambda(K)- and pSigma(0)pi(-) yield no significant signals and we set 90% confidence-level upper limits of B(B0--pLambda(K)-)8.2x10(-7) and B(B0--pSigma(0)pi(-))3.8x10(-6).

Abstract: We report the first measurement of the branching fraction for the inclusive decay B → X s l + l - , where l is either an electron or a muon, and X s is a hadronic recoil system that contains an s quark. We analyzed a data sample of 65.4 x 10 6 B meson pairs collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e + e - asymmetric-energy collider. We find B(B → X s l + l - ) = [6.1 ′ 1.4(stat) + 1 . 4 - 1 . 1 (syst)] × 10 - 6 for dilepton masses greater than 0.2 GeV/c 2 .

Abstract: We report the measurement of the charmed baryonic decay B(0)--Lambda(+)(c)p with a branching fraction of (2.19(+0.56)(-0.49)+/-0.32+/-0.57)x10(-5) and a statistical significance of 5.8 sigma. The errors are statistical, systematic, and the error of the Lambda(+)(c)--pK(-)pi(+) decay branching fraction. This is the first observation of a two-body baryonic B decay. The analysis is based on 78.2 fb(-1) of data accumulated at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric e(+)e(-) collider.

Abstract: This paper describes a DRAM module generator (DRAMGen) with an expandable cell array scheme. DRAMGen uses a modularization scheme. This expandable cell array scheme uses the cell array segment as the unit of increment and applies shared sense-amplifier scheme. This scheme reduces the area penalty to less than five percent and has little performance penalty. Using a 0.35 /spl mu/m process technology, a series of DRAM macros with flexible bank, row, column, and I/O-bit configurations consequently produce 2112 derivatives. The module generator has successfully generated a number of macros, taking five seconds for each macro, including a 32 Mb macro with a 150 MHz cycle time.

Abstract: We report the first observation of a B meson decay that is not accessible by a direct spectator process. The channel B(0)-->D(+)(s)K- is found in a sample of 85 x 10(6) BB; events, collected with the Belle detector at KEKB, with a branching fraction B(B(0)-->D(+)(s)K-)=(4.6(+1.2)(-1.1)+/-1.3) x 10(-5). We also obtain evidence for the B0-->D(+)(s)pi(-) decay with branching fraction B(B0-->D(+)(s)pi(-))=(2.4(+1.0)(-0.8)+/-0.7) x 10(-5). This value may be used to extract a model-dependent value of |V(ub)|.

Abstract: We present an improved measurement of the standard model CP violation parameter sin2phi_1 (also known as sin2beta) based on a sample of 85 times 10^6 B Bbar pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider. One neutral B meson is reconstructed in a J/psi K_S, psi(2S) K_S, chi_{c1} K_S, eta_c K_S, J/psi K^{*0}, or J/psi K_L CP-eigenstate decay channel and the flavor of the accompanying B meson is identified from its decay products. From the asymmetry in the distribution of the time interval between the two B meson decay points, we obtain sin2phi_1 = 0.719 +/- 0.074(stat) +/- 0.035(syst)., Comment: 10 pages, 3 figures, 3 tables, accepted for publication in PRD Rapid Communications
