The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on regular clinic visits among people with diabetes and to elucidate the factors related to visit patterns among these patients during the pandemic. This was a longitudinal study using anonymized insurance claims data from the Joint Health Insurance Society in Tokyo from O...
Heterostructure materials are increasingly utilized in solar energy conversion to pursue high efficiency and longterm stability. The charge transfer across interfaces gives rise to major energy loss arising from non-ideal interfacial effects, i.e., high interfacial energy barrier and low interfacial contacting area. Herein, we demonstrate a facile ...

Single-atom Ir(1 )supported on rutile TiO2 for excellent selective catalytic oxidation of ammonia
Gaseous ammonia (NH3) in the atmosphere is potentially harmful to both human health and the environment. The selective catalytic oxidation of NH3 (termed as NH3-SCO) into N-2 and H2O is a promising method for decreasing NH3 emissions. A highly efficient catalyst is required for controlling NH3 emissions by this method in practice. In this study, we...

Gaseous ammonia (NH3), especially that emitted from selective catalytic reduction with NH3 (NH3-SCR) units in the atmosphere is potentially harmful to both human health and the environment. The noble metal catalytic oxidation technology placed behind the SCR unit has been considered to be a promising method for decreasing NH3 slip. In this study, w...

In pregnant women, anaesthesia-induced hypotension is commonly treated using phenylephrine or noradrenaline, the rationale being to maintain uterine perfusion pressure and thereby uterine blood flow. Evidence for this strategy during general anaesthesia for nonobstetric surgery is absent. To analyse the effects of treating anaesthesia-induced hypot...
In order to meet requirements in machine design, modularity is often brought forward as a way to cope with load variations and adaptability of the architecture. The considered modular drivetrain consists of several identical induction motors, called motor modules, in cascade on the same shaft. However, implementing a modular drivetrain design evide...
Acoustic beamforming is routinely used to improve the SNR of the received signal in applications such as hearing aids, robot audition, augmented reality, teleconferencing, source localisation and source tracking. The beamformer can be made adaptive by using an estimate of the time-varying noise covariance matrix in the spectral domain to determine ...
