This article reports an empirical study of a 15-week study-abroad program for Japanese university students, examining changes in the students’ beliefs about language learning (measured by means questionnaire) and their English proficiency TOEFL). The results showed statistically significant relating to analytic learning, experiential self-efficacy/confidence during period. Statistically gains are also reported. However, Pearson product moment correlations between responses Belief...
Abstract A new theory for cavitation at the interface of a spherical inclusion in plastically deformed matrix under uniaxial tensile stress is proposed. It based on energy calculation and around following Eshelby's transformation problem. shown that there size below which fracture strain inversely proportional to square root particle size. There also above applied causes without plastic strain.
The use of trivalent erbium (Er3+), typically embedded as an atomic defect in the solid-state, has widespread adoption a dopant telecommunication devices and shows promise spin-based quantum memory for communication. In particular, its natural telecom C-band optical transition spin-photon interface make it ideal candidate integration into existing fiber networks without need frequency conversion. However, successful scaling requires host material with few intrinsic nuclear spins,...
The effects of three FK506 induction regimens on pediatric living-related liver transplantation (LRLT) were studied retrospectively in terms patient survival and adverse side effects. patients consisted 120 children, ranging from 3 to 210 months age, who underwent a total 122 LRLTs with minimum follow-up 6 months. Immunosuppression low-dose steroids. was given ways: (1) high-dose intravenous (i.v.) induction, begun at dose 0.15 mg/kg/day for the first 16 patients; (2) i.v. 0.06 next 45 (3)...
Living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) and subsequent immunosuppressive therapy with tacrolimus have been cornerstones in the recovery of patients from end-stage failure, but there has no critical dosage regimen for therapy, especially initial dosage. In this study, we examined whether absorptive barriers, multidrug resistance protein (MDR1), or cytochrome P450 IIIA4 (CYP3A4) are important pharmacokinetic factors prognostic indicators LDLT outcome.We used competitive polymerase chain...
Redox shuttle, a chemical overcharge protection that consumes the excess current during overcharge, has been studied. Aromatic compounds with two methoxy groups and halogen directly substituted on benzene were found to be stable up about 4 V against lithium, oxidize above this potential by means of cyclic voltammetry. Of these compounds, at adjacent positions opposite showed reversible redox reactions. These worked as shuttle when added electrolyte coin‐type cell. The voltage leveled off...
Farmland is an essential yet hazardous workplace where aging population engaged. This study aimed to compare the characteristics and severity of emergencies between farmlands other outdoor workplaces clarify whether rurality might influence differences workplaces. retrospective cohort analyzed nationwide emergency medical service (EMS) transportation database 2016 2021, combined with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) data. Farmlands accounted for 0.26% all non-pediatric (≥15 years)...
Background. Our laboratory has investigated the fabrication of atissue-engineered intestine using biodegradable polymer scaffolds. Previously we reported that isolated intestinal epithelial organoid units on scaffolds formed cysts and neointestine was successfully anastomosed to native small bowel. The purpose this study observe development tissue-engineered after anastomosis demonstrate effect over a 9-month period. Methods. Microporous tubes were created from polyglycolic acid. Intestinal...
It has been demonstrated with systematic experiments that the appearance and disappearance of multistage martensitic transformation in aged Ni-rich Ti-Ni alloys depend on heat treatment atmosphere. No occurs when evaporation Ti Ni and/or preferential oxidation specimen are prevented purification atmosphere an evacuated quartz tube is achieved. The heterogeneity precipitation morphology Ti3Ni4 phase which responsible for can be suppressed regulation as mentioned above. We have concluded...
The crystallinity and luminescent property were studied on evaporated CaS:Eu thin films. orientation of the film strongly depends substrate temperature. Distinct was not observed in films deposited below 600 °C. Above °C, tend to have a (111) orientation. red emitting electroluminescent device with active layer prepared at 680 °C which is oriented [111] direction shows brightness 180 cd/m2 under 1 kHz alternate excitation.
The reductive decomposition mechanism of electrolyte solutions for lithium secondary batteries has been investigated by electron spin resonance (ESR) with the aid molecular orbital (MO) calculations. Discussion is focused on initial reactions ultimate goal suppressing decomposition. Solvent‐related radical species were observed ESR measurements in all after electrolysis. MO calculations suggest that transfer from electrode to solvent molecule coordinated cation upon cathodic polarization...
