This article studies the economic success of Japan in postwar period and explores it from perspective political economy. The second half 20th century is visible. After World War II's end, Japan's economy was destroyed entirely, industrial system also collapsed. Tokyo burned to ground during air attack, Mount Fuji could be seen anywhere Tokyo. Still, as a defeated country, chased after western d...

Remineralization of demineralized dentin lesions adjacent to glass-ionomer cements (GICs) has been reported in the literature. This study tested the hypothesis that a strontium-based GIC can remineralize completely demineralized dentin by nucleation of new apatite crystallites within an apatite-free dentin matrix. Human dentin specimens were acid-etched, bonded with Fuji IXGP, and immersed in a...

Abstract Accessibility percolation is a new type of problem inspired by evolutionary biology: random number, called its fitness, assigned to each vertex graph, then path in the graph accessible if fitnesses are strictly increasing through it. In rough Mount Fuji (RMF) model, fitness function defined on as <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/19...

Abstract. Volcanic eruptions are rare but potentially catastrophic phenomena, affecting societies and economies through different pathways. The 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruption in Iceland, a medium-sized ash-fall-producing eruption, caused losses the range of billions dollars, mainly to aviation tourism industries. Financial risk transfer mechanisms such as insurance used by individuals, companie...

Drought stress is an important environmental factor limiting apple yield and fruit quality. Previously, we identified GRETCHEN HAGEN3.6 (GH3.6) as a negative regulator of drought in trees. Using transgenic MdGH3 RNAi (knocking down MdGH3.6 its five homologs) plants rootstock can increase tolerance, water use efficiency, flowering, quality the Fuji scion after stress. However, molecular mechanis...

background: trichomonas vaginalis , the causative agent of trichomoniasis, is responsible for more than half of all sexually transmitted infections (stis). the present study aimed to deter­mine the frequency of t. vaginalis infection and its clinical manifestations in sympto­matic pregnant women in the area based on four different diagnostic methods. methods: a total of 162 pregnant women with ...

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the surface finish of 5 different aesthetic restorative materials after polishing with 3 different polishing systems. Materials and Method: The materials included 2 nano-filled composites (Tetric Evo Ceram and Grandio), a compomer (Compoglass F), a resin-modified glass ionomer cement (Fuji II LC), and a highly viscous glass-ionomer cement ...
