Observation of the feeding behaviour of reared Japanese eel Anguilla japonica leptocephali fed picocyanobacteria Synechococcus spp.

The authors observed the feeding behaviour of artificially reared Japanese eel Anguilla japonica leptocephali, 7.5-19 mm total length (10-61 days post-hatch), fed Synechococcus sp., which is considered a potential food source of anguilliform larvae.

[Clinical Efficacy of Monotherapy with Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors for Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer].

Objective: To retrospectively assess data on immune checkpoint inhibitors(ICIs)in an actual clinical setting, examine the factors that contribute to response and survival using real-world data, and compare the effectiveness of the 3 types of ICIs for patients with non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).

Methods: A retrospective analysis of 127 patients with NSCLC treated with ICIs at our hospital was conducted.

Results: Nivolumab(56 patients)showed a 3-year survival rate of 21.

Terahertz wave generation via difference frequency generation using 2D InGaSe crystal grown from indium flux.

We demonstrate the generation of THz waves (frequency 9.7 THz) using difference frequency generation in an InGaSe mixed crystal grown from In flux. The amount of indium and the lattice constant of the crystal were evaluated using electron micro probe analysis and X-ray diffraction, respectively.

Lipshutz-type bis(amido)argentates for directed argentation.

Bis(amido)argentate (TMP)Ag(CN)Li (, TMP-Ag-ate; TMP = 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidido) was designed as a tool for chemoselective aromatic functionalization unprecedented directed argentation (DAg). X-Ray crystallographic analysis showed that takes a structure analogous to that of the corresponding Lipshutz cuprate. DAg with this TMP-Ag-ate afforded multifunctional aromatics in high yields in processes that exhibited high chemoselectivity and compatibility with a wide range of functional groups.
