Times Cited Count:2 Percentile:6.1(Metallurgy & Metallurgical Engineering)Cymbals are percussion musical instruments with a simpler structure than other musical instruments. Therefore, their material composition basically decides the sound quality and decay time rather than the skill of the player. In this study, specimens of cymbals to which Titanium, Zirconium and Iron were added were prepared. From the difference of diffraction rings by synchrotron radiation X-rays, the crystal structure of the specimens of cymbals prepared by various manufacturing processes was analyzed in order to investigate the relationship between the crystal structure associated with the material and manufacturing process used and the damping of the sound of cymbals. As a result, it was found that the changes in the crystal structure were due to the manufacturing process used. In addition, it was clarified that the changes affected the damping of the sound of cymbals.

Times Cited Count:77 Percentile:91.85(Geosciences, Multidisciplinary)We have analyzed three-dimensional resistivity structure around Naruko volcano, NE Japan. From the inversion of full tensor components, the following model features are found. Sub-vertical conductors exist at Naruko volcanoes below a depth of few kilometers. The conductor reaches to the surface of Naruko volcano and deepens southward away from the volcano along the backbone ranges. High seismicity in the upper crust is observed above and around the conductors. This implies that the seismicity is fluid-driven and also that the fluid trap is created by the precipitation of quartz due to loss of solubility at shallow depth.
