The realization of three-dimensional (3D)-architected nanostructures, that is, the transformation from novel two-dimensional (2D) film-based devices to 3D complex nanodevices, is of crucial importance with the progress of ...
The toxic alkaloid nicotine is produced in the roots of Nicotiana species and primarily accumulates in leaves as a specialized metabolite. A series of metabolic and transport genes involved in the nicotine pathway are ...

The Aurora B kinase, encoded by the AURORA 3 (AUR3) gene in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), is a key regulator of cell
division in all eukaryotes. Aurora B has at least two central functions during cell division; it ...
Measurements of the deep brain area of rodents has been one of the most important methods to study deep brain activities, in part due to limited access of this region. In order to address this problem, we have designed and ...
Extraction of complex temporal patterns, such as human behaviors, from time series data is a challenging yet important problem. The double articulation analyzer has been previously proposed by Taniguchi et al. to discover ...
Microtubules are cytoskeletal structures involved in stability, transport and
organization in the cell. The building blocks, the a- and b-tubulin heterodimers, form protofilaments
that associate laterally into the hollow ...

Cilia or flagella of eukaryotes are small micro-hair like structures that are indispensable to
single-cell motility and play an important role in mammalian biological processes. Cilia or flagella
are composed of nine ...
Self-admitted technical debt refers to situations where a software developer knows that their current implementation is not optimal and indicates this using a source code comment. In this work, we hypothesize that it is ...
Heart rate variability (HRV) is a physical and noninvasive index of the autonomic nervous system and has been used in a wide range of fields such as human medicine, veterinary and animal behavior. Measuring devices have ...
Defect prediction models are proposed to help a team prioritize source code areas files that need Software Quality Assurance (SQA) based on the likelihood of having defects. However, developers may waste their unnecessary ...
Context As a novel coronavirus swept the world in early 2020, thousands of software developers
began working from home. Many did so on short notice, under difficult and stressful
conditions.
Objective This study ...
The local structure around the dopant atom in Nd(8 mol%):LaF3 single‐crystal scintillator is analyzed by X‐ray fluorescence holography experiments in combination with a sparse modeling algorithm. The average local environment ...

Pristine π-extended aromatic compounds are attractive as organic functional materials including organic semiconductors, but are difficult to synthesize in pure form because of their low solubility in common organic solvents. ...
The introduction of nanoparticles to intact plant cells is promising as a transporting technique of a wide range of functional molecules.
Among various molecular delivery methods, femtosecond laser photoinjection possesses ...
The researches about a mobile entity (called agent) on dynamic networks have attracted
a lot of attention in recent years. Exploration which requires an agent to visit all the nodes in the
network is one of the most ...
Results
We examined the diversity of secondary metabolite production in three Monascus species (M. pilosus, M. purpureus, and M. ruber) at both the metabolome level by LCMS analysis and at the genome level. Specifically, ...

Cities are embracing data-intensive applications to maximize their constrained transportation
networks. Platforms such as Google offer route planning services to mitigate the effect of traf c congestion.
These use remote ...
As aging populations continue to grow, primarily in developed countries, there are increasing demands for the system that monitors the activities of elderly people while continuing to allow them to pursue their individual, ...
Recently, due to the drastic increase in foreign tourists coming to Japan, there has been a demand to provide smart tourism services that enable inbound tourists to comfortably enjoy sightseeing. To provide satisfactory ...
