Hydrogenases (H2 ases) are benchmark electrocatalysts for H2 production, both in biology and (photo)catalysis vitro. We report the tailoring of a p-type Si photocathode optimal loading wiring ase through introduction hierarchical inverse opal (IO) TiO2 interlayer. This proton-reducing Si|IO-TiO2 |H2 is capable driving overall water splitting combination with photoanode. demonstrate unassisted (bias-free) by to modified BiVO4 photoanode photoelectrochemical (PEC) cell during several hours...
Atomic layer deposition (ALD) of ultrathin aluminum oxide (AlOx) films was systematically studied on supported chemical vapor (CVD) graphene. We show that by extending the precursor residence time, using either a multiple-pulse sequence or soaking period, continuous AlOx can be achieved directly graphene standard H2O and trimethylaluminum (TMA) precursors even at high temperature 200 °C, without use surfactants other additional surface modifications. To obtain conformal nucleation, time >2s...
Surfaces consisting of sub micron holes (0.420-0.765 μm) engineered into nanoparticle (12 nm) coatings were examined for marine antifouling behaviour that defines early stage settlement. Immersed surfaces found to be resistant a 5-hour attachment assay Amphora coffeaeformis, organism commonly in abundance on fouled substrates such as foul-releasing paints and self-polishing coatings. Attachment inhibition was attributed the accessibility diatoms surface. This governed by size morphology...
We determine the pH dependency of mid-infrared spectra in aqueous solution organic dissociative materials metabolic pathway: saccharide phosphates (G6P, F6P), adenosine, and its (ATP, ADP, AMP). The series molar absorbance for these reagents were obtained a range about 2 to 11 with Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometer equipped horizontal diamond attenuated total reflection (ATR) sampling accessory. also provide method spectral extraction ionic by performing linear least-square...

Abstract
Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is the gold standard procedure for most adrenal tumors. Obesity considered as a risk factor surgical complications. This study aimed to evaluate whether obesity affects peri- and postoperative outcomes of transabdominal laparoscopic using body mass index (BMI). retrospective included 98 patients who underwent between January 2011 December 2016. We divided into 2 groups: non-obese group (BMI < 25 kg/m2) obese ≥ kg/m2). assessed perioperative complications groups. A...
The infrared spectral characteristics of ten different types disaccharides (trehalose, kojibiose, nigerose, maltose, isomaltose, trehalulose, sucrose, turanose, maltulose, and palatinose) five monosaccharides (glucose, mannose, galactose, talose, fructose) in aqueous solutions (H 2 O D O) were determined. spectra collected using the Fourier transform attenuated total reflectance (FT-IR/ATR) method comparisons between degrees absorption band-shift saccharide H solution with those respect to...
Abstract The self‐assembly of head‐tail type block copolymers composed polyamidoamine dendron head and poly( L ‐lysine) (PLL) tail was studied using a light scattering technique transmission electron microscopy. A PLL in copolymer exhibits coil‐to‐helix transition as result the change solvent quality from water to methanol. When takes helical conformation high methanol content, resulting has defined three‐dimensional structure like that protein molecule. Self‐assemblies such having totally...
The direct chemical vapour deposition of freestanding graphene gyroids with controlled sub-60 nm unit cell sizes is demonstrated. Three-dimensional (3D) nickel templates were fabricated through electrodeposition into a selectively voided triblock terpolymer. high temperature instability sub-micron structures was effectively addressed the early introduction carbon precursor, which stabilizes metallized gyroidal templates. as-grown are self-supporting and can be transferred onto variety...
Age is a prognostic factor for recurrent differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) and may be related to radioactive iodine (RAI) nonavidity. Indications molecular-targeted drugs (MTDs) are currently limited RAI-refractory DTC. Demonstrating refractoriness RAI, mainly indicated by RAI nonavidity, barrier the introduction of MTDs elderly patients. The present study was conducted evaluate impact age histological type on avidity lesions DTC.Two hundred fifty-eight patients (189 with classic...

Abstract A simple, rapid and accurate evaluation of the sugar uptake rate suspended plant cells from culture media was developed with predicted contents measured by mid‐infrared spectroscopy using a Fourier transform infrared (FT‐IR) spectrometer equipped an attenuated total reflectance (ATR) accessory. We performed cell cultivation Nicotiana tabacum cv. Bright Yellow No.2 (TBY‐2) in media, which had various combinations glucose, fructose sucrose concentrations at initial stage,...
Recent advance of genetic testing has contributed to the diagnosis hereditary pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL). The clinical characteristics PPGL are varying among types mutational genes. It is still difficult specify pathognomonic symptoms in case rare mutations. Here, we report synchronous bilateral pheochromocytomas with novel MYC associated factor X (MAX) gene mutation.A 24-year-old female had hyperhidrosis hypertension. Her urine test showed high normetanephrine...
In this study, using the grapes as experimental materials, it was examined a newtechnique for getting information on tree growth digital camera insteadof human eyes.

As result, influence lightconditions field eliminated, became possible to evaluate their skincolor. Furthermore, clear could make thenon-destructive continuous...
食品加工分野ではバイオプロセスを利用することがしばしばあるが, そのバイオプロセスは代謝反応によって支配されている.また, 代謝反応には様々なイオン解離性代謝物質が関与しており, それらはきわめて重要な役割を果たしている.そして, イオン解離性代謝物質のイオン解離状態や分子構造は代謝反応場のpHに大きく依存するとともに, pHは生体内において空間的および時間的に変化している.さらに, イオン解離性代謝物質の挙動を把握するためには, 混合液中における各イオン解離成分を計測する必要があり, pHを考慮したこれらイオン解離性代謝物質の同時定量法の構築が重要となる.このような特徴を有するイオン解離性代謝物質の計測には, 中赤外分光法が有効と考えられる.そこでわれわれは, FT-IR/ATR (Fourier transform infrared spectrometer equipped with attenuated total reflection accessory) 法により取得した糖リン酸やアデノシンリン酸などのイオン解離性代謝物質の各水溶液スペクトルのpH依存性を解析し,...
