The authors developed a fully automatic adjustment system for mass production of the
optical head for magnetooptical disk drives. The optical head is composed of small‐sized (…

Background & Aims Although a low plasma level of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) is
a marker of cirrhosis, it is not clear whether BCAA supplements affect disease progression. …

This study was performed to compare the acute-renal toxicity of azosemide (SK-110) or
furosemide (FM) treatment in combination with cephaloridine (CER). 1) Initially, the acute-renal …

To improve the performance of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), a more

Background The clinical characteristics of IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis (IgG4-SC)
especially without autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) have not been investigated in a large cohort. …

Objective IgG4‐related sclerosing cholangitis (IgG4‐SC) is recognized as a benign steroid‐responsive
disease; however, little is known about the risk of development of cancer in …

The stability of Pt clusters deposited on and embedded in carbon particles has been examined
by in situ transmission electron microscopy. Commercial Pt clusters deposited on carbon …

Objective The acceptable duration of steroid therapy for patients with IgG4‐sclerosing
cholangitis (SC) has been under debate. Our aim is to clarify the feasible duration of steroid …

Alterations of carbon particles carrying Pt clusters were studied by means of transmission
electron microscopy (TEM). Carbon particles of size 20–30nm produced in a He gas …

The objective of this inter-laboratory calibration exercise is to evaluate and improve
comparability of global nutrients data in the world ocean. IOCCP and JAMSTEC co-organized an …
