An optically driven lobed micropump was developed using three-dimensional two-photon
microfabrication. The two built-in rotors, 9 μ m in diameter, are cooperatively driven by means …

Background The recent development and spread of ultrasonography and ultrasonography‐guided
fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) has facilitated the detection of small papillary …

Bioethanol production from xylose is important for utilization of lignocellulosic biomass as
raw materials. The research on yeast conversion of xylose to ethanol has been intensively …

The absence of non-destructive inspection techniques for illicit drugs hidden in mail envelopes
has resulted in such drugs being smuggled across international borders freely. We have …

The effectiveness of ball milling (BM) and wet disk milling (WDM) on treating sugarcane
bagasse and straw were compared. Pretreated materials were characterized by wide angle X-…

Rice straw has recently attracted interest in Japan as a potential source of raw material for
ethanol production. Wet disk milling, a continuous pretreatment to enhance the enzymatic …

Background: Detectable serum thyroglobulin (Tg) in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma
(PTC) after total thyroidectomy implies unsuccessful surgery, indicating a high risk of …

Recent studies have demonstrated that BRAFV600E mutation is a common event in
papillary thyroid carcinoma and a majority of these lesions have shown a direct relationship …

Although oncolytic virotherapy is a promising anticancer therapy, antitumor efficacy is
hampered by low tumor selectivity. To identify a potent and selective oncolytic virotherapy, we …

The quantum Hall effect takes place in a two-dimensional electron gas under a strong
magnetic field and involves current flow along the edges of the sample. For some particle–hole …
