The anterolateral thigh flap is a septocutaneous artery flap based on the septocutaneous or
muscle perforators of the lateral circumflex femoral system. Little has been reported about …

We report the observation of four-wave mixing phenomenon in a simple silicon wire waveguide
at the optical powers normally employed in communications systems. The maximum …

This work presents our recent progress in the development of an Si wire waveguiding
system for microphotonics devices. The Si wire waveguide promises size reduction and high-…

Human lesion data have indicated that the frontal polar area might be critically involved in
having an insight into one’s future. Retrospective memory mediated by medial temporal lobes …

We devised a silicon photonic circuit with polarization diversity that consists of polarization
splitters and polarization rotators. The splitter is based on a simple directional coupler and the …

Social contact often initially depends on ascertaining the direction of the other person's gaze.
We determined the brain areas involved in gaze monitoring by a functional neuroimaging …

OBJECTIVE Mounting evidence indicates that the gut microbiota are an important modifier
of obesity and diabetes. However, so far there is no information on gut microbiota and “live …

Objective: To investigate any correlation between BMI and brain gray matter volume, we
analyzed 1,428 healthy Japanese subjects by applying volumetric analysis and voxel‐based …

The anterolateral thigh flap is based on the septocutaneous perforators of the lateral circumflex
femoral artery. Little has been written about anomalies of its vascular pedicle. We report …

We describe an ultrasmall polarization splitter based on a simple directional coupler consisting
of silicon wire waveguides. The size is only 7 × 16 µm^2, and the polarization extinction …
