UnknownEstimation of material parameters based on precipitate shape: efficient identification of low-error region with Gaussian process modeling.
In this study, an efficient method for estimating material parameters based on the experimental data of precipitate shape is proposed. First, a computational model that predicts the energetically favorable shape of precipitate when a d-dimensional material parameter (x) is given is developed. Second...

UnknownDisruption of the l-DOPA Receptor Gpr143/OA1-Gene in Mice Creates a Unique Mixed Psychosis-Like Phenotype.
GPR143, originally identified as the gene product of ocular albinism 1 (OA1), a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), can function as a receptor for l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA), a precursor of dopamine (DA). To examine the physiological and pathophysiological roles of GPR143, we analyzed the be...

UnknownUsing the Montgomery-Koyama-Smith equation to calculate the stomatal area per unit lamina area for 12 Magnoliaceae species.

Background and aims

The Montgomery-Koyama-Smith (MKS) equation predicts that total leaf area per shoot is proportional to the product of the sum of individual leaf widths and maximum individual leaf length, which has been validated for some herbaceous and woody plants. The equation is also p...

UnknownContinuing versus withdrawing ixekizumab treatment in patients with axial spondyloarthritis who achieved remission: efficacy and safety results from a placebo-controlled, randomised withdrawal study (COAST-Y).

Objectives

The objective of COAST-Y was to evaluate the effect of continuing versus withdrawing ixekizumab (IXE) in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) who had achieved remission.

Methods

COAST-Y is an ongoing, phase III, long-term extension study that included a double-blin...

UnknownLocalization of putative pituitary stem/progenitor cells in female dairy cattle.
Research on sex-determining region Y-box 2 (SOX2)-positive pituitary stem/progenitor cells, as a source of hormone-producing cells, is progressing rapidly in rodents. However, the stem/progenitor cells supplying hormone-producing cells that are essential for growth, reproduction, and lactation in bo...

UnknownExploring Electrolyte Adsorption on the Different Types of Layered Cathode Surfaces in Lithium-Ion Batteries via a Universal Neural Network Potential Method.
LiNi x Mn y Co z O2 (NCM) is a promising cathode material for lithium-ion batteries. Their long-term stability and impedance growth as cycles are strongly influenced by the properties of the cathode electrolyte interface (CEI), formed ...

UnknownThe pathway via D-galacturonate/L-galactonate is significant for ascorbate biosynthesis in Euglena gracilis: identification and functional characterization of aldonolactonase.
We have previously proposed that Euglena gracilis possesses a pathway for the production of ascorbate (AsA) through d-galacturonate/L-galactonate as representative intermediates ( Shigeoka, S., Nakano, Y., and Kitaoka, S. (1979) J. Nutr. Sci. Vitaminol. 25, 299-307 ). However, genetic evidence provi...

UnknownA gut-derived hormone suppresses sugar appetite and regulates food choice in Drosophila.
Animals must adapt their dietary choices to meet their nutritional needs. How these needs are detected and translated into nutrient-specific appetites that drive food-choice behaviours is poorly understood. Here we show that enteroendocrine cells of the adult female Drosophila midgut sense nutrients...

Unknownppdb: plant promoter database version 3.0.
ppdb (http://ppdb.agr.gifu-u.ac.jp) is a plant promoter database that provides information on transcription start sites (TSSs), core promoter structure (TATA boxes, Initiators, Y Patches, GA and CA elements) and regulatory element groups (REGs) as putative and comprehensive transcriptional regulator...

UnknownDental Pain and Worsened Socioeconomic Conditions Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has led to economic contraction and significant restrictions on society. The shock to the economy could lead to a deterioration of physical health outcomes, including dental health. The present study investigated the association between worsened socio...
