Significance This study describes new and promising electrode materials, Li 3 NbO 4 -based which are used for high-energy rechargeable lithium batteries. Although its crystal structure is classified as a cation-disordered rocksalt-type structure, ions quickly migrate in percolative network bulk without sacrifice kinetics. Moreover, the large reversible capacity originates from participation of oxide charge compensation process, has been confirmed by first-principles calculations combined...
To investigate the influence of interferon-free antivirus therapy on lipid profiles in chronic hepatitis C virus genotype 1b (HCV1b) infection.Interferon-free antiviral agents were used to treat 276 patients with HCV1b infection, and changes serum lipids those who achieved sustained virologic response (SVR) examined. The treatment regimen included 24 wk daclatasvir plus asunaprevir (DCV + ASV) or 12 sofosbuvir ledipasvir (SOF LDV). SVR was 121 (85.8%) 141 treated DCV ASV 132 (97.8%) 135 SOF...
Tracked vehicles have the advantage of stable locomotion on uneven terrain, and, as a result, such mechanisms are used for outdoor robots, including those search and rescue. However, always slip when tracked vehicle follows curve, slippage generates large accumulated positioning errors in compared with conventional wheeled mobile robots. To improve accuracy odometry enable path-following control, estimation track is essential. In this paper, we propose an improved method to follow straight...
Ovarian cancer is the second-most lethal gynecological malignancy and seventh-commonest cause of cancer-related death in women around world. Most ovarian patients are diagnosed at advanced stages suffer from recurrence after primary cytoreductive surgery standard first-line chemotherapy. Thus, successful management requires identification factors that contribute to progression relapse. Interleukin-34 (IL-34) a novel cytokine acts as tissue-specific ligand colony-stimulating factor-1 receptor...
Crawler mechanisms have the advantage of stable navigation on uneven terrain; as a result, such been adopted for many types locomotion outdoor robots, including "search and rescue robots". However, crawler always slip when tracking curved paths, it generates large accumulating positioning error in vehicles opposed to conventional wheeled mobile robots. To measure velocity vehicle correctly improve accuracy odometry, consideration crawlers' slippage is very important. In this research, we...
The present study was conducted to compare the effects of exogenous follistatin and activin A on liver regeneration in 90% hepatectomized rats. Intraportal administration markedly accelerated regeneration, nuclear BrdU labeling rate were greatly increased by follistatin. In contrast, attenuated regeneration. After 120 h hepatectomy, histological analysis showed that hepatic architecture restored control activin-treated However, it not follistatin-treated serum bilirubin levels significantly...
Abstract The recent increase in reliable, simultaneous high channel count extracellular recordings is exciting for physiologists and theoreticians because it offers the possibility of reconstructing underlying neuronal circuits. We recently presented a method inferring this circuit connectivity from spike trains by applying generalized linear model to cross-correlograms. Although algorithm can do good job reconstruction, parameters need be carefully tuned each individual dataset. Here we...
In some surveillance missions in the aftermath of disasters, use a teleoperated tracked vehicle contributes to safety rescue crews. However, because its insufficient traversal capability, can become trapped upon encountering rough terrain. This may lead mission failure and, worst case, loss vehicle. To improve success rate such missions, it is very important assess traversability on terrains based objective indicators. From this viewpoint, we first derived physical conditions that must be...
The N-methyl d-aspartate type glutamate receptor (NMDAR) is a ligand-gated cation channel that causes Ca2+ influx in nerve cells. An NMDAR agonist effective to the sperm motility fowls, although actual role of function unknown. In present study, RNA-seq spermatogenic testes suggested presence newt Cynops pyrrhogaster. Glutamate at least 0.7 ± 0.5 mM was detected egg-jelly substances along with acrosome reaction-inducing substance (ARIS) and motility-initiating (SMIS). extract (JE) included...
Robot agents are increasingly used for user services, and society is becoming familiar with such robots. Most robots of the humanoid type, which easy to recognize as interaction partners. By interacting a user, these may be able generate interest in product successfully sell it. However, according previous studies, it has been suggested that users who interested movement appearance agent focus only on aspects not listen recommendation. Therefore,we hypothesized by making agent, we call Self...
Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) has been recognized as an important downstream effector of high-affinity receptor for IgE (FcεRI) signaling in mast cells, but little is known about the isoform specificity PI3Ks on FcεRI-mediated migration toward antigen (Ag). In present study, we explored role PI3Kγ cell migration. The treatment bone marrow-derived cells (BMMCs) with a inhibitor, AS605240, significantly repressed FcεRI-induced degranulation and culture supernatants wild-type stimulated...
In search-and-rescue missions, multi-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) tracked robots that are equipped with subtracks commonly used. These types of have superior locomotion performance on rough terrain. However, in teleoperated the depends largely operators’ ability to control every subtrack appropriately. Therefore, an autonomous traversal function can significantly help teleoperation such robots. this paper, we propose a planning and method for 4-DOF climbing up/down known stairs automatically...

In this paper the authors present current progress of a networked robotic system intended to be deployed at disaster areas. This is formed by three mobile robots: two twin crawlers that will have search-and-recognition tasks gathering information about their surroundings, and an outdoor-wheeled rover approach area which also carry crawlers. The communication for these robots consists wireless local network operator located safe distance controlling them. As final objective, integration...
Sperm motility‐initiating substance (SMIS) is a key protein for internal fertilization of the newt, Cynops pyrrhogaster , and commonly enhances forward sperm motility in some amphibian species, including external fertilizers. SMIS action varies among different species correlation with species‐specific reproductive environment. In present study, we identified gene C. ensicauda ( Ce SMIS) examined mechanism reference to that closely related species. The was by 176‐amino acid sequence seven...

This paper presents a method for determining the posture of mobile manipulator aiming to reach target end-effector pose. A is composed two parameters: pose platform and joint angles manipulator. To determine rationally, we propose novel evaluation focusing on error associated with caused by accumulated positioning platform. The proposed implies not only using but also considering manipulation ability end-effector, as well tolerance region grasping an object end-effector. results can be used...
Thyroid hormones (THs) play crucial roles in various developmental and physiological processes vertebrates, including squamate reptiles. The effect of THs on shedding frequency is interesting Squamata, since the effects lizards are quite reverse those snakes: injection thyroxine increases lizards, but decreases it snakes. However, mechanism underlying this differential remains unclear. To facilitate investigation molecular functions their two specific receptor (TRαand β) cDNAs, which members...
