Chinese rare earth export policies currently result in accelerating its depletion. Thus adopting an optimal export trade selection strategy is crucial to determining and ultimately identifying the ideal trading partners. This paper introduces a multi-attribute decision-making methodology which is then used to select the optimal trading partner. In the method, an evaluation criteria system is es...

Izu peninsula is in Shizuoka prefecture, which is approximately 130 km from Tokyo. According to a report from the National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention, Izu peninsula is located just on the border between the Philippine Sea and the Eurasian plate. In this area, huge earthquakes, called Tokai earthquakes, have occurred repeatedly every 100 to 150 years. The next e...

An update on the census of species of Archaea and Bacteria published recently in mBio (P. D. Schloss, R. A. Girard, T. Martin, J. Edwards, and J. C. Thrash, mBio 7:e00201-16, 2016, http://dx.doi.org/10.1128/mBio.00201-16) showed again that, despite ever-increasing sequencing efforts, the PCR-based retrieval of 16S rRNA genes is approaching saturation. On average, 95% of the genes analyzed today...
