The spin gap energy (\ensuremath{\approx} 30 meV) associated with the low-spin ($S=0$) to high-spin ($S=2$) transition in LaCo${\mathrm{O}}_{3}$ was proved be considerably smaller than charge 0.1 eV) which estimated by optical spectroscopy. Hole doping ground state of leads formation localized magnetic polarons unusually high number ($S=10\ensuremath{-}16$), can viewed as a precursor doping-induced ferromagnetic metallic state.
Infrared spectroscopy of a ${\mathrm{LaCoO}}_{3}$ crystal has revealed anomalous splitting the phonon modes as well their intensity variation with temperature during spin-state transition. The observed results can be interpreted in terms local lattice distortion arising from Jahn-Teller effect thermally excited intermediate-spin (S=1) state ${\mathrm{Co}}^{3+}$ ions. A possible role ${\mathrm{e}}_{\mathrm{g}}$ orbital ordering is discussed analysis split Co-O stretching modes.
The thermally induced insulator-metal transition (IMT) has been investigated for single crystals of undoped and lightly doped ${\mathrm{LaCoO}}_{3}$ by measurements the optical-conductivity spectra, resistivity, Hall coefficient up to 800 K. IMT around 500 K, where spin-state from nonmagnetic $(S=0)$ ground state intermediate-spin $(S=1)$ is nearly completed, characterized a large energy-scale change electronic structure as well steep increase carrier number typical metallic value due...

Abstract Background and Hypothesis Problematic internet use (PIU) is prevalent among adolescents. Past research suggested cross-sectional associations between PIU psychotic experiences, but little information available on the longitudinal association. We hypothesized that in adolescence may be longitudinally associated with adjusting for confounders. Study Design analyzed a random sample of adolescents Tokyo Teen Cohort to examine how at ages 10 (2012–2015), 12 (2014–2017), 16 (2019–2021)...
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relation between atrophy of hippocampus and parahippocampal gyrus (the % hippocampal area) cerebral metabolic rate for glucose (CMRGlc) in Alzheimer9s disease. METHODS: 13 patients with probable disease by NINCDS-ADRDA criteria (six men; seven women, mean age 71 years, mini mental state 13.8 (SD 4.6)) matched controls were studied. T1 weighted MRI (0.5T) images used evaluation area. With a digitiser system, percentage area to brain was calculated. Eight received...
Solid-phase crystallization of Si1−xGex (x=0–1.0) alloy layers deposited on a Si (100) substrate was investigated by ellipsometric spectroscopy. From dispersion analysis dielectric spectra, we deduced crystallinity corresponding to the degree average lattice alignment composed polycrystalline and dynamical change in during crystallization. We found that temperature (TC) rapidly decreased with increasing Ge concentration (x). When x small (=0–0.3), highest ∼0.8 for single crystals while...
ObjectiveEvidence on the impact of COVID-19 pandemic adolescent mental health is mixed and does not disentangle natural age-related changes. We compared depressive symptoms among 16-year-olds surveyed, at a fourth wave, before or during pandemic, while accounting for expected trajectories within-person change based 3 prior waves.MethodIn this longitudinal cohort 3,171 adolescents in Tokyo, Japan, were grouped their age 16 survey timing: pre-pandemic (February 2019 to February 2020)...
Informal caring is associated with mental health deterioration among young people and impacts their help-seeking ability. Social network can provide social support mitigate the impact of informal care. However, carers may avoid identification withdraw from networks. Evidence regarding reciprocal associations between caring, network, scarce. We aimed to investigate directionality specificity three factors in people. This study used consecutive assessment data (2021–2023; T0–T2) Japan COVID-19...
The kinetic control of macrocyclic motions is a key aspect mechanically interlocked molecules (MIMs). Although hydrogen bonding (H‐bonding) offers high reversibility and selectivity, the use neutral H‐bonding to mobility remains limited. In this study, effects on threading dethreading kinetics linked rotaxanes containing permethylated α‐cyclodextrin unit an aniline moiety were investigated. UV‐Vis spectroscopy revealed significantly reduced reaction rates in H‐bond acceptor solvents, such as...
Magneto-optical Kerr effects have been investigated for perovskite-type hole-doped oxides ${\mathrm{La}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{x}{\mathrm{MnO}}_{3} (0<~x<~0.3)$ and ${\mathrm{La}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{x}{\mathrm{CoO}}_{3} in the photon energy range between 0.9 5.3 eV at room temperature. In ${\mathrm{La}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{x}{\mathrm{MnO}}_{3},$ charge-transfer-type spectra are observed lowest $(\ensuremath{\sim}1.2 \mathrm{eV})$ second-lowest...
Abstract Background School teachers are well-positioned to recognize mental health problems in their students and help them seek appropriate help. Therefore, need have high levels of literacy (MHL). In East Asia, however, few studies examined MHL teachers. this study, were investigated Japanese Methods Teachers ( n = 665) from 27 schools answered a self-administered questionnaire which assessed (a) knowledge about health/illnesses, (b) correct recognition specific illnesses (depression,...
Cross-sectional studies have shown an association between lower help-seeking intentions and greater depressive symptoms among adolescents. However, no longitudinal study has examined the direction of this association. The current investigated whether are reciprocally associated at within-person (individual) level during early to mid-adolescence.Longitudinal data on in adolescents were obtained from a population-based birth cohort (Tokyo Teen Cohort; N = 3,171) four time points (10y, 12y,...
Background Glucuronic acid (GlcA) is crucial in the glucuronidation pathway, facilitating metabolism and elimination of various substances drugs. Recent studies have noted elevated GlcA levels patients with schizophrenia (SCZ) compared healthy individuals. However, it remains unclear whether this elevation contributes to SCZ pathophysiology or results from medication effects. Aims This study investigated relationship between peripheral clinical characteristics assess these associations...

This method is capable producing large-grained and flat film poly-Si. The average grain size 0.3/spl times/5 /spl mu/m, surface roughness poly-Si layer less than 5 nm. TFTs fabricated with this have better performance are more uniform those produced conventional excimer (ELC) method. values field-effect mobility 440 cm/sup 2//Vs (n-type), 130...
Abstract Background Little information is available on the association between gender nonconformity during adolescence and subsequent mental health. While distress related to may be socially produced rather than attributed individual-level factors, further research needed better understand role of psychosocial factors in this context. Method We analyzed data from Tokyo Teen Cohort, obtained through random sampling adolescents born 2002 2004. used inverse probability weighting examine at ages...
Abstract Objectives Cognitive impairment, pain and depressive symptoms are common interrelated factors in older adults. However, the directionality specificity of their association remains unclarified. This study explored whether these prospectively increase reciprocal risk examined longitudinal between quality life (QoL). Methods used data from The Older Persons Informal Caregivers Survey Minimal Data Set (TOPICS‐MDS; Netherlands). adults self‐reported cognitive pain, QoL at baseline after...
