On-line Measurement of the Surface Area Concentration of Aerosols in Yokohama, Japan, using the Diffusion Charging Method by Kazuki Hatoya, Tomoaki Okuda, Koji Funato, Kozo Inoue

“…A relatively weaker afternoon correlation was observed compared with the other time zones (morning, evening, and night). We consider that these phenomena are due to the transportation/formation of the particles other than black carbon that affects surface area concentration and/or the variation of the surface condition of the black carbon particles.…”

Correlations among Fatigue Indicators, Subjective Perception of Fatigue, and Workload Settings in Flight Operations by Dajana Bartulović, Sanja Steiner, Dario Fakleš, Martina Mavrin Jeličić

“…Conducting flight operations at the pace of air traffic relies on shift work, overtime work, work at night, work in different and numerous time zones, and unbalanced flight crew schedules. Such working hours and workload settings can cause disturbances of the circadian rhythm and sleep disorders among flight crew members; this can result in fatigue and can have an impact on the safety of flight operations. …”

Optimization for Metro Operation Scheme of Suburban Lines: A New Method for Dealing with the Imbalanced Passenger Flow by Xiaobing Ding, Gan Shi, Jiangang Jin, Lixing Yang, Zhigang Liu

“…First, a time-stamped data cropping strategy based on fine-grained time zones as the grid index is developed, which is used to deeply explore the OD spatiotemporal representation of passenger flow correlation mapping mechanism based on multisource data; then, the calculation model of the proportion of trains matching with the OD temporal and spatial characteristics of suburban passenger flow are constructed, and an efficient solution algorithm is developed to solve the problem of interest. …”

Therapeutic aspects of melatonin applications by S. L. Tsenteradze, M. G. Poluektov

“…Initially, melatonin was only considered a hormone involved in the synchronization of the mechanisms of the circadian rhythm, but later it was found that, in addition to this hormonal function, it takes part in the regulation of the seasonal cycle in animals and humans.At present, melatonin drugs have shown high efficacy and safety in various sleep-wake disorders regardless of their genesis, disorganization of circadian rhythms, stress adjustment disorders, rapid change of time zones, shift work and in complex therapy of patients with cerebrovascular diseases.The article considers the multimodal capabilities of melatonin, including adaptogenic, biorhythmogenic, hypnotic, immunostimu-lating, antioxidant effects. …”

A pilot study of how the past, present, and future are represented in three-dimensional space by Yoshiko Yabe, Sachie Yamada

“…Our results suggested that not all on-screen overlapping can be interpreted as representing a connection between two time zones in 3D space. We also found correlations between the chosen sizes of the three circles in the CT and ST, i.e., the on-screen sizes of the past and present circles were positively correlated. …”
