1. Moulting is a natural physiological process in birds when they shed their old feathers and replace them with new ones, and it is followed by reproductive quiescence resulting in reduced egg production. Different birds undergo moulting at different points in their life. Some birds have seasonal moulting while some moult at the end of their breedi...
To sensitively detect the electrode surface roughness change in the initial process of the lithium electrodeposition/dissolution processes in ionic liquids (ILs), electrochemical surface plasmon resonance (ESPR) measurements were performed in an in situ manner on a gold electrode in a glyme-Li salt solvate IL, tetraglyme/lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)...

IBV infection may lead to reduced egg production and poor egg quality in layer flocks. The DMV/1639 strain was recently identified as one of the most dominant IBV variants isolated from Canadian layer flocks with egg production problems. The current study aimed to investigate the immunopathogenesis of the Canadian DMV/1639 strain in laying chickens...

One of the central questions in visual neuroscience is how the sparse retinal signals leaving our eyes are transformed into a rich subjective visual experience of the world. Invasive physiology studies, which offers the highest spatial resolution, have revealed many facts about the processing of simple visual features like contrast, color, and orie...
フッ素系エラストマー素材を用いた肝臓チップの開発と薬物代謝・毒性試験への応用. 京都大学プレスリリース. 2021-09-16. / Drug testing on miniatured livers. 京都大学プレスリリース. 2021-09-17. / Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is widely used to fabricate microfluidic organs-on-chips. Using these devices (PDMS-based devices), the mechanical microenvironment of living tissues, such as pulmonary respiration and intestin...
The reaction between P2-type honeycomb layered oxides Na2Ni2TeO6 and K2Ni2TeO6 enables the formation of NaKNi2TeO6. The compound is characterized by X-ray diffraction and 23Na solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and the structure is discussed through density functional theory calculations. In addition to the honeycomb Ni/Te cationi...

A computational model for human transketolase was proposed, showing that thiamine diphosphate activation was based on His110 in place of His481 reported in yeast transketolase. In addition, a complete catalytic reaction pathway was investigated using d-xylulose-5-phosphate and d-ribose-5-phosphate as substrates, showing at every step a perfect supe...
We perform a theoretical study of an atomically thin, two-dimensional layer obtained by positioning atoms at the vertices of the classical Pythagorean tiling. This leads to an unusual geometrical pattern that is only stable for the three halogens Cl, Br, and I. In this Pythagorean structure, halogen atoms are arranged in strongly bound diatomic uni...
Ruddlesden-Popper perovskite oxide (An+1BnO3n+1) mixed ionic-electronic conducting membranes are proposed as a new method for oxygen separation from air. Element doping was used to improve the ionic conductivity and to stabilize the crystal structure. The doping of orthorhombic Pr2NiO4 with Mo resulted in the ex situ collapse of the crystal togethe...
