Software pervades every domain of science (–), perhaps nowhere more decisively than in
modeling. In key scientific areas of great societal importance, models and the software that …

We developed a quantitative assay for Caenorhabditis elegans avoidance behavior. This
was then used to demonstrate that the worm moved away from toxic concentrations of Cd 2+ …

IN GENERAL, three sorts of aerodynamic testing are performed to develop products in the
aeronautical or automobile engineering field: full-scale track testing orflight testing, wind …

Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), a 36-to 38-kDa peptide, is selectively induced by
transforming growth factor-βand has been suggested to contribute to tissue repair. To test …

We study the emission properties of dye doped polymer microspheres. Under the weak
excitation condition, emission exhibits resonant features characteristic to the spherical cavity …

Large amounts of radioactive substances were released into the environment from the
Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plants in eastern Japan as a consequence of the great …

We propose and demonstrate a “bottom-up” approach to constructing photonic structures for
photon manipulation. Supermonodispersive polymer microspheres are used as building …

We examined whether ischemic preconditioning (IPC) attenuates ischemia-reperfusion
injury, in part, by decreasing apoptosis and whether the δ-opioid receptor (DOR) plays a …

Background Basic data are lacking regarding the efficacy and mechanisms of action of
corticosteroids in neuropathic pain. Because recent studies indicate that spinal glial …
