Personal Values of Japanese Business Managers

Researchers have spent many years examining the Japanese business culture, but there is limited empirical evidence about the personal values of Japanese business managers. The research of these authors confirms some previous conclusions, but also might detect new attitudes in Japan at the dawn of the 21st century

Photoinitiator-free micro/nano fabrication of biomaterials with nonlinear deep UV excitation

Two-photon fabrication is expected to be a technique for fabricating biological tissues for regenerative medicine and drug discovery because of its capability of fabricating 3D structures on a subcellular scale. In this study, we conducted two-photon fabrication of biocompatible materials without photoinitiators. By using a visible-wavelength femtosecond pulsed laser as excitation light, two-photon polymerization is induced in deep UV absorbing moieties without the use of photo-initiators. We performed 3D micro/nanofabrication of a biocompatible hydrogel material. By using Raman spectral change, we investigated the photo-chemical process of the biocompatible upon the irradiation of visible pulsed laser light.SPIE OPTO, 22 January - 28 February 2022, San Francisco, California, United State
