To utilize the excellent properties of silica (SiO 2 ) glass for a glass laser host, neodymium‐aluminum
(Nd–Al) and neodymium‐phosphorous (Nd–P) co‐doped SiO 2 glasses were …

Background Adherence has recently been suggested to be divided into these two components:
persistence (ie, whether patients continue treatment or not) and compliance (ie, whether …

It is widely accepted that dorsal striatum neurons participate in either the direct pathway (expressing
dopamine D1 receptors) or the indirect pathway (expressing D2 receptors), …

A very low-power consumption wireless system for monitoring ECG (electrocardiogram) is
proposed. It consists of an ECG detector/transmitter located on the chest and the relay …

Stems of genus Dendrobium (Orchidaceae) have been traditionally used as an herbal
medicine (Dendrobii Herba) in Eastern Asia. Although demand for Dendrobium is increasing …

Cerium‐activated silica (SiO 2 ) glasses were prepared by plasma torch chemical vapor
deposition (CVD). In Ce‐doped SiO 2 glasses, most Ce exists as Ce 4+ ions; the remaining …

Transgenic sweet potato plants were obtained after Agrobacterium rhizogenes-mediated
transformation. Leaf disks of in vitro plants were inoculated with different Agrobacterium …

An α-l-rhamnosidase was purified by fractionating a culture filtrate of Aspergillus kawachii
grown on l-rhamnose as the sole carbon source. The α-l-rhamnosidase had a molecular mass …

Phylogenetic relationships within Clematis, including Naravelia, Archiclematis and
Clematopsis, were analysed using nucleotide sequences of chloroplast DNA [(1) matK and trnK …

The heats of sublimation of a series of condensed polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, 1 rom
anthracene (C 14 ) to violanthrene (C 34 ), were measured. It has been found that there is …
