Plasma membrane proton-ATPase (PM H+-ATPase) is a primary H+ transporter that consumes ATP in vivo and is a limiting factor in the blue light-induced stomatal opening signaling pathway. It was recently reported that ...
Lenslet array (LA) near-eye displays (NEDs) are a recent technical development that creates a virtual image in the field of view of one or both eyes. A problem occurs when the user’s pupil moves out of the LA-NED eye box ...
A gentle touch is an essential part of human interaction that produces a positive care effect. Previously, robotics studies have shown that robots can reproduce a gentle touch that elicits similar, positive emotional ...

Music is often used for emotion induction because it can change the emotions of people. However, since we subjectively feel different emotions when listening to music, we propose an emotion induction system that generates ...

In ligand-based drug design, quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) models play an important role in activity prediction. One of the major end points of QSAR models is half-maximal inhibitory concentration ...
Herein, 5,5'-bis(4-biphenylyl)-2,2'-bithiophene (BP2T or PPTTPP) nanocrystals are prepared via a modified miniemulsion technique. X-ray diffraction and selected area electron diffraction analyses reveal that the BP2T ...

Microtubule severing by katanin plays key roles in generating various array patterns of dynamic microtubules, while also responding to developmental and environmental stimuli. Quantitative imaging and molecular genetic ...
Fertilization occurs as the culmination of multi-step complex processes. First, mammalian spermatozoa undergo the acrosome reaction to become fusion-competent. Then, the acrosome-reacted spermatozoa penetrate the zona ...
