Solid oxide PrBaCoGaO (PBCG) is synthesized using a glycerol-nitrate route. XRD and SEM techniques are utilized in order to confirm the structural and microstructural composition of the attained ceramics. The high-temperature electrical conductivity and thermopower of the sintered PBCG sample are measured in a wide range of external conditions. It is shown that Ga doping results in ∼30% increase of conduction properties. The observed peculiarity is interpreted in terms of a recently proposed electronic transport model. It is argued that the respective enhancement of conductivity originates from the combined increase of polaron hopping frequencies along with a decline of carriers' effective mass in the metallic subsystem of PBCG.

A 71-year-old man with a history of atrial fibrillation presented to the emergency department with sudden unconsciousness after finishing lunch. Just 4 weeks ago, the patient underwent radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation and regularly took rivaroxaban for anticoagulant therapy. According to the medical history, the patient suffered recurrent chest tightness and heartburn after radiofrequency ablation without other discomforts.

Background: Atropine is a strictly regulated natural toxin. Monitoring for atropine is thus important, but often expensive and time-consuming. Moreover, the range of relevant matrices, and corresponding differences in required detection limits for atropine vary.

Salmonid fishes are well adapted to transition between salinities as part of a diadromid lifestyle, and many species are both economically and environmentally important. Ion-transporting gill epithelium helps fishes maintain ion balance during salinity transition. Recent transcriptomic surveys suggest that voltage-gated ion channels (VGICs) are present in gill epithelium of fishes.

Mechanisms for absorption improvement of drugs with low water-solubility by self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) are still controversial except for solubility improvement. We attempted to clarify the mechanisms by utilizing model drugs classified as biopharmaceutics classification system class II. In the in-vitro transport study for microemulsions (MEs) formed from SMEDDS, the permeation clearance (CL) calculated based on free drug concentrations in MEs, was significantly larger than the CL for aqueous solution.
