This study uses an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model to investigate the role of incomes, relative price competitiveness, and substitution prices in tourism demand from Indonesia’s six largest countries origin 2007Q1 2019Q4. Income level, competitive prices, significantly impact for Indonesia. Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, Japan, India are income elastic, signaling that is a luxury g...

Through the efforts of three editors - V.K. Singh and D.K. Tripathi (India), J. Kawai (Japan), as well 79 qualified specialists from 14 countries, “X-ray Fluorescence in Biological Sciences: Principles, Instrumentation Applications” monograph was prepared published March this year. The book is divided into six parts. Part 1 a general introduction to RFA (7 chapters). Parts 2 3 are relatively ne...

The respective tectonic effects of back arc spreading and continental collision in Asia are considered either as two independent processes or as closely interrelated. Extrusion tectonics assumes that the opening of the South China Sea and the left-lateral motion along the Red River fault are geometrically linked in a pull-apart manner. This model is not accepted by several workers because the s...

Information on the genetic identity and interrelationships of different Morus spp. genotypes is essential for their proper conservation and utilization. Hence, the present investigation was undertaken with genetically more reliable DNA markers to study the genetic relationship among eleven selected genotypes of mulberry collected from Japan, India and Italy. Using ten RAPD and ten ISSR primers,...

Nutrients can determine the outcome of the competition between different floating plant species. The response of floating plants to current phosphorus levels may be affected by previously experienced phosphorus concentrations because some species have the ability to store excess phosphorus for later use. This might have an impact on their competition. Here, we investigate the effect of previous...

The maintenance of chromosome stability depends on the precise duplication of the genome, efficient DNA repair and recombination, and proper interactions between the centromeres/kinetochores of the duplicated chromosomes and the spindle apparatus (Fig. 1). Errors in these processes lead to genomic instability and aneuploidy—a hallmark of many diseases, including cancers. Knowledge of these proc...

This paper aims to analyze and compare the driving forces of carbon dioxide emissions six highest emitters world, namely, China, United States America, European Union, India, Russia, Japan, which are responsible for more than 67% emissions, during period 1990–2018. The analysis is based on an enlarged Kaya-LMDI decomposition, considering five a Granger causality study. Both techniques allow us ...

Babesia gibsoni is a tick-borne apicomplexan parasite of dogs that often causes fever and hemolytic anemia with highly variable clinical outcome. In this study, we sequenced the 254bp Internal Transcribed Spacer 1 region (ITS1) of 54 B. gibsoni isolates from 14 different geographical regions of Japan. The 54 isolates shared high sequence identity with each other and with B. gibsoni isolates rep...

Japan, known as a pro-choice country in terms of abortion, is currently facing the increase of “selective abortions” thanks to new prenatal screening. Efforts to restrict proliferation of new technology has not been successful and it is likely that Japan will turn pro-life by strictly enforcing the Maternity Protection Act (MPA), which prohibits abortions due to “fetal cause”.
