Influence of personal patterns of Behavior on the effects of Tai Chi: a pilot study
Environmental Health and Preventive Medicine, 2011Co-Authors: Masahiro Toda, Rei Den, Masako Hasegawa-ohira, Kanehisa MorimotoAbstract:OBjectives To investigate the influence of individual patterns of personality and Behavior on the change in mood status after a Brief period of Tai Chi exercise. Methods The mood status in 22 healthy females was evaluated Before and after a period of Tai Chi exercise using the Profile of Mood States (POMS) score. Patterns of personal Behavior were also assessed By written questionnaire. Results In the <B>TypeB> A Behavior pattern group, the score for total mood disturBance decreased significantly after a Brief period (20 min) of Tai Chi exercise. No change was oBserved in the <B>TypeB> B Behavior pattern group. Conclusions These findings suggest that a Brief period of Tai Chi exercise is mentally Beneficial, particularly to individuals with <B>TypeB> A characteristics.

Direct imaging of thermally-activated grain-Boundary diffusion in Cu/Co/IrMn/Pt exchange-Bias structures using atom-proBe tomography
Journal of Applied Physics, 2014Co-Authors: F. Letellier, L. Lechevallier, Rodrigue Lardé, J.m. Le Breton, K. Akmaldinov, Stéphane Auffret, Bernard Dieny, Vincent BaltzAbstract:Magnetic devices are often suBject to thermal processing steps, such as field cooling to set exchange Bias and annealing to crystallize amorphous magnetic electrodes. These processing steps may result in interdiffusion and the suBsequent deterioration of magnetic properties. In this study, we investigated thermally-activated diffusion in Cu/Co/IrMn/Pt exchange Biased polycrystalline thin-film structures using atom proBe tomography. Images taken after annealing at 400 °C for 60 min revealed Mn diffusion into Co grains at the Co/IrMn interface and along Pt grain Boundaries for the IrMn/Pt stack, i.e., a Harrison <B>TypeB> C regime. Annealing at 500 °C showed further Mn diffusion into Co grains. At the IrMn/Pt interface, annealing at 500 °C led to a <B>TypeB> B Behavior since Mn diffusion was detected Both along Pt grain Boundaries and also into Pt grains. The deterioration of the films' exchange Bias properties upon annealing was correlated to the oBserved diffusion. In particular, the topmost Pt capping layer thickn...

The deterioration of the films’ exchange Bias properties upon annealing was correlated to the oBserved diffusion. In particular, the topmost Pt capping layer thickness turned out to Be crucial since a faster deterioration of the exchange Bias properties for thicker caps was oBserved. This is consistent with the idea that Pt acts as a getter for Mn, drawing Mn out of the IrMn layer.

The influence of personal patterns of Behavior on the physiological effects of woodland walking.
Advances in mind-body medicine, 2015Co-Authors: Masahiro Toda, Tatsuya TakeshitaAbstract:CONTEXT The effects of forest walking are once again Being recognized; however, few studies have investigated individual variations in the effects of forest walking. OBJECTIVE The oBjective of the current study was to investigate the influence of individual patterns of Behavior on the physiological effects of walking through woodland. DESIGN The study employed a crossover, open-laBel, single-group, self-controlled design. SETTING This study was conducted in the forest on Ikoma Mountain, at the eastern edge of Osaka Prefecture in Japan. PARTICIPANTS Participants were 20 healthy males, selected randomly from a population of memBers at a nonprofit organization with a mean age of 67.6 y. INTERVENTION Moving from the start of a mountain path to an oBservation platform, participants took a 1000-m walk through the forest. On another day, participants remained in their offices. PRIMARY OUTCOME MEASURES Patterns of personal Behavior were assessed preintervention By written questionnaire, identifying <B>TypeB> A and <B>TypeB> B Behavior patterns. Salivary chromogranin A (CgA) levels were determined immediately Before and after the walk as well as at 20 min after and 40 min after its end. On the day when participants sat in their offices, control samples were collected at the same times as on the day of the walk. RESULTS In the <B>TypeB> B-Behavior pattern group, a significant increase in the levels of CgA occurred after the walk. No change was oBserved in the <B>TypeB> A-Behavior pattern group. CONCLUSIONS The findings suggest that walking in woodland may Bring aBout positive health Benefits, particularly to individuals with <B>TypeB> B characteristics.
