The potential to introduce tunable electrical conductivity and molecular magnetism through carrier doping in metal-organic coordination polymers is particularly promising for nanoelectronics applications. Precise control of the doping level is essential for determining the electronic and magnetic properties. In this study, we present a series of one-dimensional coordination polymers, {(HNEt)[CuCo(L)]} (HNEt = triethylammonium, L = 1,2,4,5-tetrakis(methanesulfonamido)benzene), doped with diamagnetic Cu carriers.

At the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (FDNPS), continuous water circulation cools fuel debris, leading to the presence of radionuclides such as Sr-30, Cs-137, and I-129 in the cooling water. These radionuclides are adsorbed and co-precipitated by various materials. Among them, I-129 is a key radionuclide for safety assessment during the final disposal of adsorbent and co-precipitation materials, owing to its long half-life and poor sorption.

The objective of the present study is to provide reliable concentration values as assigned values for target pesticides in brown rice samples used in proficiency testing (PT) organized by the Hatano Research Institute (HRI). The test samples for PT were prepared by immersing brown rice in the pesticide solution and using a spray dryer by the HRI. Homogeneity and stability assessments were performed for PT samples, and the relative uncertainties due to inhomogeneity and instability were 0.

Introduction: Gastric cancer has been reported to occur with mild to moderate mucosal atrophy, particularly after the eradication of () more than 10 years previously. However, no conclusion has been reached on how many years of esophagogastroduodenoscopy should be performed after eradication.

Presentation Of Case: This was a case of gastric carcinoma of the fundic gland type (GCFGT) 32 years after the eradication of , which is the longest posteradication period reported.

Background: Previous studies have explored the association between the number of cases and patient outcomes for critical illnesses such as sepsis and trauma, as well as various surgeries, with the expectation that a higher number of cases would have a more favorable effect on patient outcomes. The aim of this study was to elucidate the association among intensive care unit (ICU) case volume, specialization, and patient outcomes in critically ill emergency patients and to determine how ICU case volumes and specializations impact the outcomes of these patients in Japanese ICUs.

Methods: Utilizing data from the Japanese Intensive Care PAtient Database (JIPAD) from April 2015 to March 2021, this retrospective cohort study was conducted in 80 ICUs across Japan and included 72,214 emergency patients aged ≥ 16 years.
