Mass stock enhancement and release are excellent ways to recover Coilia nasus resources. However, it is challenging to evaluate stock enhancement effectively, and it is important to establish a method suitable for estimating C. nasus populations. We explored the effectiveness of marking otoliths in these fish with strontium by immersing C. nasus in hexahydrate strontium chloride solutions. We used laser ablation inductively co...

An increasing number of epidemiological studies have suggested that birth weight (BW) may be a determinant of bone health later in life, although the underlying genetic mechanism remains unclear. Here, we applied a pleiotropic conditional false discovery rate (cFDR) approach to the genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics for lumbar spine bone mineral density (LS BMD) and BW, aiming to identify novel susceptibil...

When sea ice acts on vertical structures, there are much higher pressures in localized areas known as high-pressure zones (HPZs) than in other areas. The damage failure mode of sea ice varies with the sea ice velocity and affects the distribution of HPZs. In this study, an indentation test that drives ice sheet interaction with a vertical rigid plate (indentor) was designed, and a pressure sensor (consisting of 32 × 32 small p...
