Objective. Interstitial lung disease (ILD), especially rapidly progressive ILD (RPILD), is a
major poor prognostic factor in patients with DM. We investigated the association of anti-…

In recent years, considerable research and development efforts are devoted to improving
the performance of polymer electrolyte fuel cells. However, the power density and catalytic …

A model for oxygen transport in the catalyst layer of polymer electrolyte fuel cells was developed.
The model includes oxygen transport resistance for dissolution from the gas phase into …

Ionomers are used in polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) catalyst layers to improve proton
conduction. Recent analytical studies have clarified that the adsorption of the ionomer on …

The occurrence of a hitherto unknown pathway involving the action of two enzymes, a nitrile
hydratase and an amidase for the biosynthesis of indole-3-acetic acid was discovered in …

The catalyst poisoning property of a novel ionomer, NBC4, which has two sulfonimide acid
groups in its side chain ended with a perfluorobutane, instead of sulfonic acid groups as …

The PMR spectrum revealed that pheromone was a saturated aldehyde. A triplet at 9.76 ppm
(lH, t, J= 1. S Hz) was assigned to a CHO group attached to a methylene group (2.42 ppm, …

Rapid regrowth or recurrent growth of occult cancer cells are often observed after esophagectomy
or postoperative complications. In order to clarify the mechanism of such oncological …

In the new era of technical development in surgery, operative devices, molecular targeting
and chemotherapeutic agents, surgical oncologists have two main roles in the treatment of …

Sperm–egg fusion is indispensable for completing mammalian fertilization. Although the
underlying molecular mechanisms are poorly understood, requirement of two spermatozoon …
