Concerned about the difficulty of carrying out your research due to the influence of COVID-19, Professor Kita has requested the editorial office to extend the deadline for the commemorative issue to celebrate his 77 years old. The publication date will be delayed, but we are happy to accept Professor Kita's request, and we would like to extend the deadline by the end of November 2020. Please submit your manuscript by that time.
I pray for overcoming COVID-19.
