Structural analysis and transport properties of [010]-tilt grain boundaries in Fe(Se,Te).

Understanding the nature of grain boundaries is a prerequisite for fabricating high-performance superconducting bulks and wires. For iron-based superconductors [e.g.

Evaluation of Medication Adherence Among Prevalent Users in Hypertension, Dyslipidemia, and Diabetes Using Health Insurance Claims: A Population-Based Cohort Study in Japan.

Purpose: Hypertension (HT), dyslipidemia (DL), and diabetes mellitus (DM) are major risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Despite the wide availability of medications to reduce this risk, poor adherence to medications remains an issue. The aim of this study is to evaluate medication adherence of prevalent users in these disease medications (HT, DL, DM) using claims data.

Statistical characteristics of comic panel viewing times.

Comics are a bimodal form of art involving a mixture of text and images. Since comics require a combination of various cognitive processes to comprehend their contents, the analysis of human comic reading behavior sheds light on how humans process such bimodal forms of media. In this paper, we particularly focus on the viewing times of each comic panel as a quantitative measure of attention, and analyze the statistical characteristics of the distributions of comic panel viewing times.

Step-by-step protocol for alternative injury models in newt cardiac regeneration.

Although the heart is one of the most important organs for animal survival, its regenerative capacity varies among animal species. Notably, adult mammals cannot regenerate their hearts after damage such as acute myocardial infarction. In contrast, some vertebrate animals can regenerate the heart throughout their lives.

Species differences in liver microsomal hydrolysis of acyl glucuronide in humans and rats.

Acyl glucuronides (AGs) are known as one of the causes of idiosyncratic drug toxicity (IDT). Although AGs can be enzymatically hydrolysed by β-glucuronidase and esterase, much information on their characteristics and species differences is lacking. This study was aimed to clarify species differences in AG hydrolysis between human and rat liver microsomes (HLM and RLM).
