Recent studies indicate that neonatal spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) possess pluripotency. However, the mechanisms regulate pluripotent differentiation capacity of SSCs remain unclear. Here, we describe a new method to clonally derive from mouse testis. By coculturing with testicular stromal cells, can be maintained and expanded in serum-free conditions. Unlike endogenous SSCs, these vitro showed strong alkaline phosphatase (AP) activity displayed characteristics embryonic primordial germ...
Surface-active asphaltene molecules are naturally found in crude oil, causing serious problems the petroleum industry by stabilizing emulsion drops, thus hindering separation of water and oil. Asphaltenes can adsorb at water–oil interfaces to form viscoelastic interfacial films that retard or prevent coalescence. Here, we measure evolving shear rheology as asphaltenes adsorb. Generally, stiffen with time, response crosses over from viscous-dominated elastic-dominated. However, significant...
This cross-sectional questionnaire study examined factors related to affiliate stigma among caregivers of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and the association caregivers' unfavorable attitude toward ADHD moderators. The 400 was assessed using Affiliate Stigma Scale. Caregivers' children's were multiple regression analysis. Associations attitudes diagnoses, pharmacotherapy, behavioral therapy, biological explanations etiologies logistic Female those caring for...
Depression is common during pregnancy, and antidepressants are often prescribed for treatment. However, depression antidepressant use both increase the risk of neonatal pregnancy complications. To separately evaluate effects underlying on complications by using a robust statistical method to control confounding indication.All study data were obtained from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database. Pregnant women divided into three groups: those with no exposure(n = 1619,198),...
Abstract Statins have been shown to be a beneficial treatment as chemotherapy and target therapy for lung cancer. This study aimed investigate the effectiveness of statins in combination with epidermal growth factor receptor‐tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance mortality cancer patients. A population‐based cohort was conducted using Taiwan Cancer Registry database. From January 1, 2007, December 31, 2012, total 792 non‐statins 41 users who had undergone EGFR‐TKIs were included this study....
The influences of acidity from Al species and the coordination state Ti on catalytic epoxidation performance are investigated over novel mesopore silica-aluminium materials with Si/Ti mixed oxide as pillar, <italic>i.e.</italic>, Si/Ti-MCM-36 derivatives.
Asphaltenes are surface-active molecules that exist naturally in crude oil. They adsorb at the water–oil interface and form viscoelastic interfacial films stabilize emulsion droplets, making separation extremely challenging. There is, thus, a need for chemical demulsifiers to disrupt asphaltene films, and, thereby, facilitate separation. Here, we examine ethylcellulose (EC) as model demulsifier measure its impact on properties of using shear microrheology. When EC is mixed with an oil...
The effect of titanium alkoxides as grafting agents and various solvents in the preparation Ti(<sc>iv</sc>)-incorporated micro/meso-porous MCM-36 (Ti-MCM-36) highly catalytic activities reusability was examined.
Ti-MCM-22 prepared by grafting with Ti(OEt)<sub>4</sub> has more Ti(<sc>iv</sc>) at Td sites than those Ti(OPr)<sub>4</sub> and Ti(OBu)<sub>4</sub>, gives higher catalytic activities in cyclohexene cyclooctene epoxidation using <italic>t</italic>-butylhydrogen peroxide as the oxidant.
The aim of this survey study was to examine the etiologies attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) attributed by caregivers Taiwanese children with ADHD, particularly factors affecting such attribution. This had 400 ADHD as participants. We examined caregiver-attributed and Caregivers completed self-report questionnaire rate how likely they perceived various be; Affiliate Stigma Scale for level affiliate stigma; short Chinese version Swanson, Nolan, Pelham, Version IV child’s...
Since the ALMA North America Prototype Antenna was awarded to Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO), SAO and Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy & Astrophysics (ASIAA) are working jointly relocate antenna Greenland. This paper shows status retrofit work carried out after recommissioning subsequent disassembly at VLA has taken place. The next coming months will see start reassembly Thule Air Base. These activities expected last until fall 2017 when commissioning should take In...
The formation of highly stable water-in-oil emulsions results in complications both upstream and downstream processing. Emulsion stability these systems has been connected to the adsorption surface-active asphaltenes that are assumed form a rigidified film at oil/water (o/w) interface. Full characterization this behavior is needed allow for engineered solutions enhanced oil recovery. Interfacial properties, such as surface pressure interfacial elasticity, implicated stabilizing mechanism...
This cross-sectional questionnaire survey study was designed to examine the complementary and alternative intervention strategies (CAIS) employed by caregivers for their children’s attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) associations of affiliate stigma with employment rated effectiveness these in Taiwan. A total 400 children ADHD participated. CAIS that were surveyed. Associations application determined using logistic regression analysis. The results indicated sensory integration...

This 1-year follow-up study examined the predictive values of demographics, depressive symptoms, stress-coping orientations, and perceived family support caregivers as well internalizing, externalizing ADHD symptoms children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) at baseline on after 1 year. A total four hundred were recruited. The levels caregivers’ internalizing problems assessed using Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, Coping Orientation to Problems...
This article reports a study evaluating the effects of implementing smoking bans among drug-using prisoners in Taiwan. Seventy-seven new entrants were recruited May 2008. Six focus groups conducted prison-based treatment center, only prison with total ban All subjects male and their average age was 37 years. Three general reactions to identified across all groups: (a) unfair/hypocritical policy; (b) being forced stop smoking; (c) finding ways smoke anyway. Future studies should compare...
A larger than 50% fractional bandwidth cryogenic orthomode transducer (OMT) based on turnstile junction is designed and fabricated. The OMT has one circular waveguide of 7.2 mm diameter input port two standard WR-22 output ports. At room temperature, it exhibits better 18 dB return losses across 29 to 50 GHz with 0.5 1.5 insertion loss.
