Mouse mothers transfer metabolic mode Obesity and diseases tend to go together, humans who become obese are also prone type 2 diabetes cardiovascular problems. Starting with the observation that offspring of germ-free mice tended on high-fat diets, Kimura et al. investigated how presence microbiota might be protective in (see Perspective by Ferguson). Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) from known suppress insulin signaling reduce fat deposition adipocytes. Further experiments showed SCFAs...
Abstract Background Non-alcoholic liver disease (NAFLD) is the hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome, and it can progress to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Alterations in gut microbiome have been implicated development NAFLD/NASH, although underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Results We found that consumption prebiotic inulin markedly ameliorated phenotype including steatosis fibrosis, mice. Inulin resulted global changes microbiome, concomitant enrichment genera Bacteroides...
In this paper, we propose a new method for decomposing pattern classification problems based on the class relations among training data. By using method, can divide K-class problem into series of ((2)(K)) two-class problems. These are to discriminate Ci from Cj i=1, ..., K and j = i+1, while existence data belonging other K-2 classes is ignored. If discriminating still hard be learned, further break down it set subproblems as small expect. Since each treated completely separate with proposed...
A novel catalytic method for the straightforward hydrogenation of carboxamides and esters to primary alcohols has been developed. Chiral modification in ligand sphere well-defined Cp*Ru catalyst molecule opens up a new possibility development an enantioselective racemic substrates via dynamic kinetic resolution.
Highly efficient isomerization of allylic alcohols into saturated carbonyls is accomplished using the catalyst system Cp*RuCl[Ph2P(CH2)2NH2-κ2-P,N]-KOt-Bu (Cp* = η5-C5(CH3)5) under mild conditions. Mechanistic consideration based on isotope-labeling experiments indicated present reaction applicable to asymmetric racemic sec-allylic with a prochiral olefin via dynamic kinetic resolution. A concise synthesis muscone has been achieved, where an optically active ligand key reaction.
This work represents the first catalytic hydrogenation of imides into amides and primary alcohols, in which unique chemoselectivity is originated from bifunctional nature ruthenium-NH moiety catalyst.
From the viewpoint of cost and safety, aqueous sodium-ion batteries are attractive candidate for large-scale energy storage. Although operating voltage range battery is theoretically limited to 1.23 V by electrochemical decomposition water, restriction a little bit eased in real system charge/discharge overvoltage.

Abstract High discharge voltage of more than 2 V is achieved in a novel aqueous sodium‐ion battery with the combination Prussian blue‐type sodium manganese hexacyanoferrate cathode, and similar potassium hexacyanochromate anode. Here, highly concentrated perchlorate electrolyte 2.8 electrochemical window used. By element analysis, anode containing little possibly serves as suitable host–guest anode, similarly cathode extracting/inserting ion electrolyte. Open‐framework electrodes but mobile...
We demonstrate rapid single-flux-quantum (RSFQ) circuits with reduced energy consumption by lowering the driving voltages and critical currents of Josephson junctions (JJs). At lowered voltages, statically consumed bias resistors (which is dominant in RSFQ circuits) reduced. In addition, we show that when are driven constant dynamic resulting from switching JJs because suppression amplitudes signal voltage pulses, even though speed becomes slower. Utilization miniaturized smaller also leads...

The rapid hydrogenation of simple aromatic ketones is accomplished by using a combination (η5-C5(CH3)5)Ru complexes and primary amines as catalyst in 2-propanol. In particular, 1,2-diamines with tertiary amino groups at both ends exhibit significant ligand acceleration effect. Isotope-labeling experiments D2 2-propanol-dn reveal that 2-propanol participates the activation H2 based on metal/NH bifunctional effect to facilitate hydrogenation. Asymmetric prochiral chiral version catalysts...

Abstract Electron‐deficient heteroacenes that contain two tricoordinate boron atoms in their acene skeletons and planarized phenyl ether moieties at periphery were synthesized via the borylation of silicon‐bridged precursors. X‐ray crystallographic analysis revealed quinoidal structures, which give rise to two‐step reversible redox processes for both reduction oxidation. These compounds exhibit intense absorption sharp fluorescence bands with vibronic structures near‐infrared (NIR) region....
