タイトル: Cultural Defaults in the Time of COVID: Lessons for the Future著者: Markus, Hazel Rose; Tsai, Jeanne L.; Uchida, Yukiko; Yang, Angela M.; Maitreyi, Amrita抄録: Five years after the beginning of the COVID pandemic, one thing is clear: The East Asian countries of Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea outperformed the United States in responding to and controlling the outbreak of the deadly virus. Although multiple factors likely contributed to this disparity, we propose that the culturally linked psychological defaults (“cultural defaults”) that pervade these contexts also played a role. Cultural defaults are commonsense, rational, taken-for-granted ways of thinking, feeling, and acting. In the United States, these cultural defaults include optimism and uniqueness, single cause, high arousal, influence and control, personal choice and self-regulation, and promotion. In Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea, these defaults include realism and similarity, multiple causes, low arous ...

タイトル: Modeling a triclinic lattice elastic body based on the linear couple stress theory著者: Suzuki, Ryunosuke; Kameo, Yoshitaka; Adachi, Taiji抄録: Triclinic lattice structures with generalized parallelepiped unit cells are crucial targets in understanding the influence of lattice structure on the mechanical behaviors of lattice elastic bodies. This study models a three-dimensional elastic body with a triclinic lattice microstructure comprising three uniform elastic members rigidly joined at a single point. Based on the linear couple stress theory, a specialized case of the Cosserat theory, this study derives elasticity tensors in the constitutive equations of the triclinic lattice elastic body that depend on the crossing angles between the members. To derive the angular-dependent elasticity tensors, coordinate transformations between oblique and orthogonal coordinate systems are effectively employed in formulating the substitution of deformation and force fields in the c ...

タイトル: NDT-C11 as a Viable Novel Detergent for Single Particle Cryo-EM著者: Jiko, Chimari; Li, Jiannan; Moon, Youngsun; Tanaka, Yoshito; Gopalasingam, C., Chai; Shigematsu, Hideki; Chae, Seok, Pil; Kurisu, Genji; Gerle, Christoph抄録: Single particle cryo electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is now the major method for the determination of integral membrane protein structure. For the success of a given project the type of membrane mimetic used for extraction from the native cell membrane, purification to homogeneity and finally cryo-grid vitrification is crucial. Although small molecule amphiphiles – detergents – are the most widely used membrane mimetic, specific tailoring of detergent structure for single particle cryo-EM is rare and the demand for effective detergents not satisfied. Here, we compare the popular detergent lauryl maltose-neopentyl glycol (LMNG) with the novel detergent neopentyl glycol-derived triglucoside-C11 (NDT-C11) in its behavior as free detergent and wh ...

タイトル: Elevated Serum Growth Differentiation Factor 15 Levels as a Potential Biomarker of the Efficacy of Imeglimin in Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: An Exploratory Study著者: Wada, Naoki; Murakami, Takaaki; Fauzi, Muhammad; Sakaki, Kentaro; Oshima, Shinobu; Shimada, Yoshihito; Asai, Kanae; Oshima, Ayako; Nomura, Satoko; Joo, Erina; Mori, Michiko; Fujiwara, Ryoko; Shide, Kenichiro; Wada, Keiko; Yabe, Daisuke; Inagaki, Nobuya; Harada, Norio抄録: Background: The aim of the present study was to conduct a prospective observational study to explore the effects of imeglimin on systemic energy metabolism/body composition and to identify potential mitochondria-related biomarkers of the efficacy of the drug in clinical settings. Methods: In this prospective observational study, 16 participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus in the diabetes clinic of Kyoto University Hospital were enrolled. Individuals were started on imeglimin as monotherapy or add-on therapy. Results: Aft ...

タイトル: Application of gravity recovery and climate experiment data and ensemble modeling to assess saltwater intrusion in the Miandoab coastal aquifer, Iran, under climate change著者: Nourani, Vahid; Paknezhad, Nardin Jabbarian; Wen, Zhang; Kantoush, Sameh Ahmed抄録: Study region: The Miandoab aquifer, northwest of Iran, which is located in a sub basin of the Urmia Lake. Study focus: To model the groundwater (GW) quantity and quality, shallow learning (Feed Forward Neural Network (FFNN), Adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), Support Vector Regression (SVR)), their ensemble and deep learning models were applied. Projections by General Circulation Models (GCMs) for the Shared Socio-economic Pathways (SSP585) scenario, after bias correction, and changes of the model inputs including Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE), GRACE Follow-On (GRACE-FO) and GW level (GWL) obtained via Markov Chain model were employed f ...
