". Nitrosocosmicus" members are the dominant archaea associated with plant rhizospheres.

Unlabelled: Archaea catalyzing the first step of nitrification in the rhizosphere possibly have an influence on plant growth and development. In this study, we found a distinct archaeal community, dominated by ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA), associated with the root system of pepper ( L.) and ginseng plants ( C.

ReBADD-SE: Multi-objective molecular optimisation using SELFIES fragment and off-policy self-critical sequence training.

The discovery of drugs to selectively remove disease-related cells is challenging in computer-aided drug design. Many studies have proposed multi-objective molecular generation methods and demonstrated their superiority using the public benchmark dataset for kinase inhibitor generation tasks. However, the dataset does not contain many molecules that violate Lipinski's rule of five.

Development of a chest digital tomosynthesis R/F system and implementation of low-dose GPU-accelerated compressed sensing (CS) image reconstruction.

Purpose: This work describes the hardware and software developments of a prototype chest digital tomosynthesis (CDT) R/F system. The purpose of this study was to validate the developed system for its possible clinical application on low-dose chest tomosynthesis imaging.

Methods: The prototype CDT R/F system was operated by carefully controlling the electromechanical subsystems through a synchronized interface.

Feasibility study of shutter scan acquisition for region of interest (ROI) digital tomosynthesis.

Dose reduction techniques have been studied in medical imaging. We propose shutter scan acquisition for region of interest (ROI) imaging to reduce the patient exposure dose received from a digital tomosynthesis system. A prototype chest digital tomosynthesis (CDT) system (LISTEM, Wonju, Korea) and the LUNGMAN phantom (Kyoto Kagaku, Japan) with lung nodules 8, 10, and 12 mm in size were used for this study.

An Electrochemical Cell for Selective Lithium Capture from Seawater.

Lithium (Li) is a core element of Li-ion batteries (LIBs). Recent developments in mobile electronics such as smartphones and tablet PCs as well as advent of large-scale LIB applications including electrical vehicles and grid-level energy storage systems have led to an increase in demand for LIBs, giving rise to a concern on the availability and market price of Li resources. However, the current Lime-Soda process that is responsible for greater than 80% of worldwide Li resource supply is applicable only in certain regions on earth where the Li concentrations are sufficiently high (salt lakes or salt pans).

The Impacts of ACE Activity according to ACE I/D Polymorphisms on Muscular Functions of People Aged 65.

Objective: To investigate associations between angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) polymorphisms and muscle fatigability in 65-year-old Koreans.

Method: The study participants were 49 Koreans aged 65 years. ACE insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphisms were determined by polymerase chain reaction and serum ACE activity, by spectrophotometry.

Myxoid malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the ovary: a case report.

A 46-year-old woman presented with whole abdominal discomfort, and imaging revealed a 3-cm-sized ill-defined ovarian mass with extensive peritoneal carcinomatosis. Histologic examination showed malignant fibrous histiocytoma of ovary with predominant myxoid stroma. Microscopic examination showed a highly cellular neoplasm composed of fibroblast-like cells with a predominant myxoid stroma and high pleomorphism and mitotic activity.
