Gate-voltage dependence of carrier mobility is measured in high-performance field-effect transistors rubrene single crystals by simultaneous detection the longitudinal conductivity ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{\ensuremath{\square}}$ and Hall coefficient ${R}_{H}$. The ${\ensuremath{\mu}}_{H}$ ($\ensuremath{\equiv}{\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{\ensuremath{\square}}{R}_{H}$) reaches nearly $10\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{cm}}^{2}/\mathrm{V}\text{ }\mathrm{s}$ when relatively low-density carriers...
The proposed origin of the improved ORR activity is unlikely to be from residual metal impurities but creation topological defects caused by removal high temperature CO desorbing oxygen functional groups.
A new measurement of the branching ratio R_{e/μ}=Γ(π^{+}→e^{+}ν+π^{+}→e^{+}νγ)/Γ(π^{+}→μ^{+}ν+π^{+}→μ^{+}νγ) resulted in R_{e/μ}^{exp}=[1.2344±0.0023(stat)±0.0019(syst)]×10^{-4}. This is agreement with standard model prediction and improves test electron-muon universality to level 0.1%.
Nano-drilling of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) has been conducted by taking advantage CoOx as the oxidation catalyst at a relatively low temperature 250 °C. An increase ID/IG ratio Raman spectroscopy, together with TEM visualization, justifies presence hole defects on sidewalls, in comparison to pristine and purified MWCNTs. Holes drilled basal plane MWCNTs could access into inner core observed N2 adsorption isotherm. Drilled (DMWCNTs) show largest quantity functional groups 5.4 ×...
Favipiravir is an RNA polymerase inhibitor that showed strong antiviral efficacy in vitro and small-animal models of several viruses responsible for hemorrhagic fever (HF), including Ebola virus. The aim this work was to characterize the complex pharmacokinetics favipiravir nonhuman primates (NHPs) order guide future studies large-animal models. Four different were conducted 30 uninfected cynomolgus macaques Chinese (n = 17) or Mauritian 13) origin treated with intravenous 7 14 days...
Abstract Long-term sequelae of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) constitute Long COVID. Although COVID has been reported globally, its risk factors and effects on quality life (QOL) remain unclear. We conducted a cross-sectional study using questionnaires electronic medical records COVID-19 patients who were diagnosed or hospitalized at five facilities in Japan. Responses obtained from 285 out 1,150 patients. More than half participants symptoms varying severity 1 year after COVID-19....
Abstract Although IL-10 has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several autoimmune diseases, mechanisms by which this cytokine mediates inflammatory lesions remain to be elucidated. Exocrine gland destruction is an important early step development Sjögren’s syndrome. To better understand role syndrome, we made transgenic mice mouse gene was regulated human salivary amylase promoter. Transgenic expression induced apoptosis glandular tissue and lymphocyte infiltration consisting primarily...
High-density carrier accumulation in organic semiconductors is demonstrated Au∕polymer gel electrolyte/rubrene crystal∕SiO2∕doped Si dual-gate transistors, forming electric double layers the polymer gel. Application of only 1.2V across electrolyte drastically enhances conductance rubrene single crystal with field-induced density up to ∼5×1013cm−2. Directly comparing transfer characteristics same device channel transistors revealed that achieved doping level beyond maximum SiO2-based...
Abstract Novel metal‐complex assemblies constructed from the flexible hinge‐like ligand H 2 bhnq (H bhnq=2,2′‐bi(3‐hydroxy‐1,4‐naphthoquinone)) have been synthesized. The X‐ray crystal structures of these compounds reveal that four types architectures are accessible by variation metal ions. In copper( II ) 1 – 3 , chelating 2− ions bridge centers to form one‐dimensional zigzag chains. chains arranged hydrogen‐bonding interactions and stacking produce porous structures. Cobalt( zinc( 4 5...
Recently synthesized benzoannulated fused oligothiophenes and oligoselenophenes are introduced as air-stable organic semiconductors for high-performance field-effect transistors. To evaluate electronic mobility intrinsic to the materials, technique of single-crystal transistors is employed two representative compounds pentathienoacene f-B5TB its selenium analog f-BT3STB. High approximately 1.1cm2∕Vs achieved compound due considerable Se---Se orbital interactions. The materials simultaneously...
We study theoretically and experimentally the effect of noise on Rydberg atoms passing through a strong coherent microwave field. derive master equation containing field exactly. Its solution reveals presence four universal dynamical regimes: (i) an initial classical regime, (ii) subsequent localized (iii) transition, induced by noise, in which coherence localization are destroyed, (iv) final where equidistribution over quasienergy states is reached.
Vascular calcification is an independent determinant of cardiovascular events in maintenance haemodialysis (HD) patients. It not known whether acute changes the serum calcium concentration before and after HD (DeltaCa) are associated with development aortic calcification.We enrolled 71 patients dialysed a dialysate 3.0 mEq/l determined their index (ACI) by abdominal computed tomography twice at interval 3 years. To identify factors contributing to rate progression calcification, we analysed...
Evidence of massive neutrinos in the ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{e}^{+}\ensuremath{\nu}$ decay spectrum was sought with background ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\ensuremath{\mu}}^{+}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{e}^{+}$ chain highly suppressed. Upper limits (90% C.L.) on neutrino mixing matrix element $|{U}_{ei}{|}^{2}$ mass region $60--129\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{MeV}/{c}^{2}$ were set at level ${10}^{\ensuremath{-}8}$.
The Mycoses Forum in Japan has developed management bundles for candidaemia to incorporate into bedside practice. aim of this study was investigate nationwide compliance with the and their impact on clinical outcomes. Non-neutropenic patients treated antifungals were surveyed. Bundles consist nine items complete. Data sent central office between July 2011 April 2012. Six hundred eight analysed. rate achieving all elements 6.9%, it increased 21.4% when analysed by bundle except oral switch....
BackgroundThe pharmacokinetics and appropriate dose regimens of favipiravir are unknown in hospitalized influenza patients; such data also needed to determine dosage selection for trials COVID-19.MethodsIn this dose-escalating study, tolerability were assessed critically ill patients. Participants received one two dosing regimens; Japan licensed (1600 mg BID on day 1 600 the following days) higher (1800 mg/800 BID) trialed uncomplicated influenza. The primary pharmacokinetic endpoint was...
Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteremia occurs mainly in immunocompromised patients. However, P. immunocompetent patients has also been reported. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical characteristics relation immune status medical records 126 adult with Nagasaki University Hospital were retrospectively reviewed between January 2003 and December 2012. Of bacteremia, 60 (47.6%) classified as immunocompetent. Mortality tended be lower than (7-day mortality, 8% vs. 30%, P < 0.01; 30-day...
A few Japanese cases of hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) invasive syndrome have recently been reported. Although extrahepatic complications from bacteremic dissemination observed, infected aneurysms are rare. Furthermore, the primary source infection is generally a liver abscess, and rarely prostate. Therefore, we report two atypical K. syndrome. The first case was an 81-year-old man with no significant medical history, who referred to our hospital for vision loss in...
Background The incidence of ocular candidiasis (OC) in patients with candidemia varies across different reports, and the issue whether routine ophthalmoscopy improves outcomes has been raised. This study investigated OC evaluate extent impacts clinical outcomes. Methods retrospective included non-neutropenic who underwent treatment at one 15 medical centers between 2010 2016. Chorioretinitis without other possible causes for lesions endophthalmitis was classified as a probable OC. If signs...
The ethanol patch test, which is considered to be a cutaneous model of flushing, was performed on 311 healthy Japanese (237 adults and 74 children). By comparing the results with aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) phenotype determined by isoelectric focusing from hair root samples, it demonstrated that test good indicator ALDH phenotype. usefulness this in future studies discussed.
