Times Cited Count：7 Percentile：49.6(Geology)Micro-X-ray fluorescence (XRF) scanning spectroscopy of marine and lake sedimentary sequences can provide detailed paleoenvironmental records available through element intensities proxy data. However, problems for effects of interstitial pore water on the micro-XRF intensities have been pointed out so far because of direct measurement on the split wet sediment surfaces. In this study, new methods for the XRF corrections were developed by being considered with the micro-X-ray scanning spectroscopy.

ASTRID has the objective to integrate innovative options in order to prepare the 4th generation reactors. In ASTRID, large number of tubes are installed above each fuel subassembly to monitor the core. These instrumentations such as thermocouples (TC) and Failed Fuel Detection and Location (FFDL) systems are integrated into Above Core Structure (ACS) with various sizes tubes. In the present study, the routing study for TC tubes and FFDL tubes was performed with 3D modeling and mock-up experiment of the ACS designed for ASTRID with 1500 MW thermal power in order to clarify the integration process and secure the design hypotheses. Although some problems on fabricability were found in the mock-up experiment, the possible solutions were proposed. The present study gives manufacturing feedback to design team and will contribute to increase the knowledge for ACS design and fabricability.

Times Cited Count：10 Percentile：43.77(Geography, Physical)Paleoenvironmental and paleoclimate changes in Siberia were reconstructed by continuous, high-resolution records of chemical compositions from a sediment core retrieved from the Buguldeika Saddle, Lake Baikal, dating back to the last 33 cal. ka BP. The Holocene climate followed by a shift at ca. 6.5 cal. ka BP toward warm and dry, suggesting that the climate system transition from the glacial to interglacial state occurred. In the last glacial period, the deposition of carbonate mud from the Primorsky Range was associated with Heinrich events (H3 and H1) and the Selenga River inflow was caused by meltwater of mountain glaciers in the Khamar-Daban Range. The anoxic bottom-water during Allerod-Younger Dryas was probably a result of weakened ventilation associated with reduced Selenga River inflow and microbial decomposition of organic matters from the Primorsky Range. The rapid decline in precipitation during the early Holocene may have been a response to the 8.2 ka cooling event.

Times Cited Count：8 Percentile：49.7(Physics, Nuclear)Measurements of electrons from the decay of open-heavy-flavor mesons have shown that the yields are suppressed in Au+Au collisions compared to expectations from binary-scaled collisions. Here we extend these studies to two particle correlations where one particle is an electron from the decay of a heavy flavor meson and the other is a charged hadron from either the decay of the heavy meson or from jet fragmentation. These measurements provide more detailed information about the interaction between heavy quarks and the quark-gluon matter. We find the away-side-jet shape and yield to be modified in Au+Au collisions compared to collisions.

We sustain floating-point operation performance exceeding 20% of the peak on 512 nodes (4,096 PEs). From systematic calculations, we find a new concept that "quantum-assisted synchronization" occurs with downsizing the junction plane. This is a discovery adding a quantum flavor to the classical concept "synchronization".

Times Cited Count：0 Percentile：0(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)We numerically investigate a dependence of pairing interaction strength on quantum coherence and related tunneling dynamics in order to clarify whether the strong pairing interaction suppresses quantum coherent characters. The simulation is performed by using the attractive Hubbard model with double well potential. The simulation result reveals that the tunneling dynamics between the separated wells is dramatically suppressed with increasing the pairing interaction. This fact implies that the pair coherence is easily lost under randomness when the pairing interaction becomes very strong. We claim that such an issue is related to the loss of the pair coherence in under-doped High-
superconductors. In addition, we note that the tunneling dynamics can be directly confirmed by using the crossover from BCS to BEC in atomic Fermi gases.

Times Cited Count：82 Percentile：95.34(Computer Science, Interdisciplinary Applications)A new conservative global gyrokinetic toroidal full- five-dimensional Vlasov simulation (GT5D) is developed using a novel non-dissipative conservative finite difference scheme. The scheme guarantees numerical stability by satisfying relevant first principles in the modern gyrokinetic theory, and enables robust and accurate simulations of tokamak micro-turbulence. GT5D is verified through comparisons of zonal flow damping tests, linear analyses of ion temperature gradient driven (ITG) modes, and nonlinear ITG turbulence simulations against a global gyrokinetic toroidal 
particle code. In the comparison, global solutions of the ITG turbulence are identified quantitatively by using two gyrokinetic codes based on particle and mesh approaches.

Moreover, the time evolution of the voltage signal is connected with that of the spatial profile of the superconducting order parameter.

The Earth Simulator has the highest power ever achieved to perform molecular dynamics simulation of large-scale supra-molecular systems. We are developing a molecular dynamics simulation system, called SCUBA, which is designed to run a system composed of more than a million particles efficiently on parallel computers. This fisical year, the arrays used in the program of SCUBA were intensively optimized to reduce the amount of memory use. This optimization enabled SCUBA to perform molecular dynamics simulations of large-scale supra-molecular systems comprised of more than a million atoms on the Earth Simulator. Moreover, the Martyna-Klein-Tuckerman algorithm was extended to utilize the multiple time step method, which increases the time step length significantly. Then, in order to elucidate the dynamics of the 70S ribosome, molecular dynamics simulation of the 70S ribosome including its explicit solvent, a system which is composed of about two million atoms, has been performed using SCUBA. A model of a nascent polypeptide was included in the system to investigate how the nascent polypeptide passes through the exit tunnel within the large subunit of the 70S ribosome. The ratchet-like motion of the 70S ribosome, which is thought to be important for the genetic translation, was successfully observed.

In order to explore a possibility of superfluidity in confined strongly-correlated fermion systems, e.g., nano-scale cuprate High-Tc superconductors and atomic Fermi gases loaded on an optical lattice, we implement an exact diagonalization code for their mathematical model, i.e., a trapped Hubbard model on the Earth Simulator. We compare two diagonalization algorithms, the traditional Lanczos method and a new algorithm, the preconditioned conjugate gradient (PCG) method, and find that when using the PCG the total CPU time can be reduced to 1/3 
1/5 compared to the former one since the convergence can be dramatically improved by choosing a good preconditioner and the communication overhead is much more efficiently concealed in the PCG method. Consequently, such a performance improvement enables us to do systematic studies for several parameters. Numerical simulation results reveal that an unconventional type of pairing specific to the confined system, which can cause superfluidity, develops under a strong repulsive interaction.
