The skin is the biggest organ and provides a physical and immunological barrier against pathogen infection. The distribution of primary cilia in the skin of mice has been reported, but which cells in human skin have them ...
Propagation and amplification of chirality are considered to play an important role in the chemical evolution of biological homochirality. Stereochemical communications have been demonstrated to have a significant effect ...
Accurately placing virtual objects in a scene is a challenging tasks in handheld augmented reality (HAR). To add and arrange virtual objects in HAR, users must manipulate 6 degrees of freedom (DoFs) of the virtual object, ...
Logging is an important feature of a software system to record run-time information. Detailed logging allows developers to collect run-time information in situations where they cannot use an interactive debugger, such as ...
Robots that can talk with humans play increasingly important roles in society. However,
current conversation robots remain unskilled at eliciting empathic feelings in humans. To address
this problem, we used a robot that ...
The development of a low-cost high-performance secure hash algorithm (SHA)-256 accelerator has recently received extensive interest because SHA-256 is important in widespread applications, such as cryptocurrencies, data ...
Abscisic acid (ABA) interacts antagonistically with brassinosteroids (BRs) to control plant growth and development in response to stress. The response to environmental cues includes hormonal control via epigenetic regulation ...

Tissue-specific transcription factors allow cells to specify newfates by exerting control over gene regulatory networks and theepigenetic landscape of a cell. However, our knowledge of themolecular mechanisms underlying ...
Vernalization is the promotion of flowering after prolonged exposure to cold. In
Arabidopsis thaliana, vernalization induces epigenetic silencing of the floral repressor
gene FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC). The repressive ...
Network resource management is one of the key technologies needed to ensure that multiple applications in edge networks provide reliable and stable performance. Although throughput has previously been seen as the primary ...
The edge computing system attracts much more attention and is expected to satisfy ultra-low response time required by emerging IoT applications. Nevertheless, as there were problems on latency such as the emerging traffic ...
: In current Proof-of-Work (PoW) blockchain systems, miners usually form mining pools to
compete with other pools/miners in the mining competition. Forming pools can give miners steady
revenues but will introduce two ...
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) can measure the mechanical properties of plant tissue at the cellular level, but for in situ observations, the sample must be held in place on a rigid support and it is difficult to obtain ...
The modern automobile is a complex piece of technology that uses the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus system as a central system for managing the communication between the electronic control units (ECUs). Despite its ...
Senescent cells, which show the permanent growth arrest in response to various forms of stress, accumulate in the body with the progression of age, and are associated with aging and age-associated diseases. Although the ...
The techniques for inducing the death of specific cells in tissue has attracted attention as new methodologies for studying cell function and tissue regeneration. In this study, we show that a sequential process of targeted ...

The grating, lens, and linear sensor determine a spectrometer’s wavelength resolution
and measurement range. While conventional methods have tried to improve the optical design to
obtain a better resolution, they have a ...
Human iPS cell (iPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes (CMs) hold promise for drug discovery for heart diseases and cardiac toxicity tests. To utilize human iPSC-derived CMs, the establishment of three-dimensional (3D) heart tissues ...
