Professor Hiroo Sato,
published "Where …" (March 2008)
This is the line splitting title.
Is it OK to use a small case letter as published?
Thank you very much.

Yes,
If I've understood your question correctly, you are asking whether the lower-case "p" at the beginning of the word "published" is OK, even though there is a line break just before it, or whether it should be a capital: "Published".
The fact that there is a line break there does not affect whether the word should be capitalised. If it were part of the title of a work, it would be capitalised anyway, regardless of the line divisions, but it is not part of a title, properly speaking: it is part of a sentence, telling us that Professor Hiroo Sato published a work called "When..." in March 2008. How this sentence is set out on the page doesn't affect the capitalisation. There is a line break, but no break in the syntax and no need for an initial capital in the first word on the new line in this case.
It this were an entry in a list, it would begin with a capital letter, but it isn't.

No, do not use small case letter as published
Since, they have used letter x, they have left it as that.

: I think the question is whether 'published' in line 3 should begin with upper case 'P'.
