Characteristics of unique cap, Tsurushi and Hata clouds around Mount Fuji

Weather, EarlyView.
Distinct clouds, such as cap clouds, Tsurushi (a type of lenticular cloud) and Hata (banner cloud‐like clouds), frequently form around Mount Fuji, an isolated peak with a slightly elliptical conical shape. Here, we examine their characteristics and occurrence patterns.

The Welfare and Educational Impacts of Encounter Experiences and Displays on Zoo‐Housed Red Panda (Ailurus fulgens)

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
We investigated the extent and composition of red panda (Ailurus Fulgens spp.) encounters amongst 150 global zoos and their impact on animal longevity and reproduction. Comparative data analysis suggests that encounter animals produced more offspring and had higher longevity (survival) than non‐encounter animals with differences noted between ...

Simultaneous lasing of Ni Kα and Cu Kα lasers from an alloy foil irradiated with an intense X‐ray free‐electron laser pulse

Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, EarlyView.
We successfully achieved simultaneous lasing of 7.48 keV Ni Kα1 and 8.05 keV Cu Kα1 emissions using an intense X‐ray free‐electron laser (XFEL) pulse. This achievement – the realization of simultaneous two‐color X‐ray lasing using a single‐color XFEL pulse – is expected to advance the development of X‐ray lasers and their applications.We report the ...
