Unitarity Problem in Gribov-Zwanziger Theory Open
We show that the unitarity problem in the Gribov-Zwanziger theory can be solved by the famous quartet mechanism. The construction of the new quartet in such a theory suggests the introduction of a new form of ghost charge and projection op…

A Local Particle Filter and Its Gaussian Mixture Extension Implemented with Minor Modifications to the LETKF Open
A particle filter (PF) is an ensemble data assimilation method that does not assume Gaussian error distributions. Recent studies proposed local PFs (LPFs), which use localization as in the ensemble Kalman filter, to apply the PF for high-d…

Roughness of the renal tumor surface could predict the surgical difficulty of robot‐assisted partial nephrectomy Open
Introduction Preoperative prediction of surgical difficulty of partial nephrectomy (PN) is essential to minimize the perioperative complications and to achieve a good surgical outcome. Recently, various scoring systems have been used to ev…

Clinicopathological Analysis of Non-B Non-C Hepatocellular Carcinoma Focusing on Cellular Proliferation Open
NBNC-HCCs were significantly larger in diameter, but their nuclear grade or Ki-67 LI were not significantly different from those of other HCCs, suggesting that they do not have a higher proliferative activity.

Reduced non-Gaussianity by 30-second rapid update in convective-scale numerical weather prediction Open
Non-Gaussian forecast error is a challenge for ensemble-based data assimilation (DA), particularly for more nonlinear convective dynamics. In this study, we investigate the degree of non-Gaussianity of forecast error distributions at 1-km …
