Complete Genome Sequence of sp. Strain TUM22923, Isolated from Antarctic Lake Sediment.

Here, we report the complete genome sequence of sp. strain TUM22923, isolated from Antarctic lake sediment. This strain has a genome of 1,860,127 bp, comprising 1,848 protein-coding sequences.

Whole-Genome Sequences of Three Psychrotolerant sp. Strains Isolated from Antarctic Soil.

We report the whole-genome sequences of three psychrotolerant strains, TUM20983, TUM20984, and TUM20985, isolated from Antarctic soils. Taxonomic analyses indicate that these strains are putative new species. These genome sequences may provide insight into the cold adaptation mechanisms of spp.

Sodium- and Potassium-Hydrate Melts Containing Asymmetric Imide Anions for High-Voltage Aqueous Batteries.

Aqueous Na- or K-ion batteries could virtually eliminate the safety and cost concerns raised from Li-ion batteries, but their widespread applications have generally suffered from narrow electrochemical potential window (ca. 1.23 V) of aqueous electrolytes that leads to low energy density.

[Usefulness of Determining Acquisition Time by True Count Rate Measurement Method for Delivery 18F-FDG PET/CT].

A stable quality of delivery 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) requires suitable acquisition time, which can be obtained from an accurate true count of 18F-FDG. However, the true count is influenced by body mass index (BMI) and attenuation of 18F-FDG. In order to remove these influences, we have developed a new method (actual measurement method) to measure the actual true count rate based on sub-pubic thigh, which allows us to calculate a suitable acquisition time.

[Reducing the rate of radiation exposure of technicians through lateral-surface contact with patients undergoing radionuclide examination].

During examinations using radionuclide methods, technicians sometimes need to interact directly with patients. The initial point of contact is when they assist patients onto the examination table, the second is when the patients are positioned for radionuclide examination, and the third occurs if the patients experience a sudden change in condition and assistance is deemed necessary. The dose of radiation increases proportionately to the size of the area being treated.
