Abstract Needle‐like ZnO nanowires with high density are grown uniformly and vertically over an entire Ga‐doped conductive film at 550 °C. The preferentially in the c ‐axis direction. X‐ray diffraction (XRD) θ‐scan curve shows a full width half maximum (FWHM) value of 2°. This indicates that ‐axes nanorods along normal direction substrate surface. investigation using high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) confirmed each nanowire is single crystal. A room‐temperature...
The authors present a case study on the development of an anti-Asian racism support group titled, (Re)Claim and Connect. covers formation conceptualization process formative feedback garnered from field test intervention. grew out need for not only interventions to individuals Asian ancestral heritage in dealing with ongoing effects North America, but also provide culturally relevant counseling processes by members diaspora America. Community-engaged scholarship formed foundation...
In this paper, a new particle swarm optimization (PSO) approach to identifying the autoregressive moving average with exogenous variable (ARMAX) model for one-day one-week ahead hourly load forecasts was proposed. Owing inherent nonlinear characteristics of power system loads, surface forecasting error function possesses many local minimum points. Solutions gradient search-based stochastic time series (STS) technique may, therefore, stall at points, which lead an inadequate model. By...
Background and purpose The associations of depression, chronic condition functional disability have not been studied well in Taiwan. present study hypothesized that strong relations between medical conditions, status, the manifestation depression would be evident; interrelationships interested measures differ urban rural populations Methods sample was recruited a community survey 2001 included elderly dwelling southern Chinese-version Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) used for data collection...

Inflammation is a major root of several diseases such as allergy, cancer, Alzheimer’s, and others, the present state existing drugs provoked researchers to search for new treatment strategies. Plants are regarded be unique sources active compounds holding pharmacological properties, they offer novel designs in development therapeutic agents. Therefore, this study aimed explore anti-inflammatory mechanism esculetin lipoteichoic acid (LTA)-induced macrophage cells (RAW 264.7). The relative...
<h3>Background and Objectives</h3> We examined whether patients with a diagnosis of fibromyalgia have an increased risk coronary heart disease (CHD), compared age- sex-matched control patients. hypothesized that diagnosed are at adverse events. <h3>Methods</h3> Using matched-cohort study design, we analyzed data retrieved from the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database 2000 released by National Research Institute, Taiwan.

Objective: This study investigated the prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) in Taiwanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods: retrospective observational was conducted a random sample from entire population National Health Insurance enrollees during 2000-2010 and used ICD-9-CM diagnostic codes to identify T2DM GAD. The GAD compared between general population. Results: Between 2000 2010, significantly greater than population, while increase higher (from 0.25...
One of major limitations applying distraction osteogenesis for craniofacial skeleton hypoplasia is the long duration bony consolidation. This study investigated whether extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) could accelerate consolidation in rat mandible.An L-shape osteotomy was performed unilaterally hemimandible Sprague-Dawley rats. An internal distracter employed to create a 7-mm gap mandible. hundred twenty rats were divided into three groups. The zone mandible received no treatment as...
A high fat diet is associated with risk of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). However, whether hyperlipidemia BPH remains unclear. This population-based cohort study elucidated an increased BPH.We used a new-exposure design and analyzed data retrieved from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Database between January 1, 2000 December 31, 2013. The men newly diagnosed age- index-date-matched (1:3) nonhyperlipidemia were tracked for incidence during 1- to 14-year follow-up. Diagnosis using...
Cisplatin (CDDP) is a chemotherapeutic drug which also causes adverse side effects. Glechoma hederacea traditional Chinese herb belonging to the Labiatae family and has many biological activities. Our previous study indicated that rosmarinic acid (RA) was most abundant phytochemical in G. hederacea. However, antioxidant or anti-inflammatory effects of combined treatment hederacea, RA CDDP on human renal cell carcinoma (RCC) 786-O cells have not been clearly demonstrated. We aimed investigate...
