Effect of morphology and cortical thickness variations on tibial strains in different movements.

Morphology and cortical thickness of tibia bone influence the strength and strain distribution of bone and also influence fatigue fracture risk. However, current studies have not extensively explored the effect of morphology and cortical thickness on tibial strain distribution during different activities. This study aims to assess the effect of tibial morphology and cortical thickness on tibial strain during six different sports movements.

Dependability of individualized Direct Behavior Rating Multi-Item Scales (DBR-MIS) for academic enablers.

The present study examined the dependability of three newly developed direct behavior rating multi-item scales (DBR-MIS) of academic enablers (i.e., academic engagement, interpersonal skills, and study skills).

Short-range Fgf signalling patterns hindbrain progenitors to induce the neurogenesis-to-oligodendrogenesis switch.

In the vertebrate nervous system, neurogenesis generally precedes gliogenesis. The mechanisms driving the switch in cell type production and generation of the correct proportion of cell types remain unclear. Here, we show that Fgf20 signalling patterns progenitors to induce the switch from neurogenesis to oligodendrogenesis in the zebrafish hindbrain.

First Exploration of Monopole-Driven Shell Evolution above the N=126 Shell Closure: New Millisecond Isomers in ^{213}Tl and ^{215}Tl.

Isomer spectroscopy of heavy neutron-rich nuclei beyond the N=126 closed shell has been performed for the first time at the Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory of the RIKEN Nishina Center. New millisecond isomers have been identified at low excitation energies, 985.3(19) keV in ^{213}Tl and 874(5) keV in ^{215}Tl.
