- High Fiber Diet (exe)
- Fiber falls into two general categories: water-soluble (found mostly in oats, fruit, and legumes) and water-insoluble found mostly in grains and vegetables. As each type of fiber has different benefits, most people on high-fiber diets are advised to increase their intake of foods that feature both soluble and insoluble fiber....

- Coherent Optical Frequency Transfer Via 110-Km Urban Fiber Network
- Optical frequency at 1542 nm was coherently transferred over a 110-km optical fiber using an urban fiber network (JGN2) between Tsukuba and Kashiwa cities. The phase fluctuation induced by the fiber length fluctuation was actively reduced by stabilizing the fiber length using a fiber stretcher and an acousto-optic frequency shifter....
