… Interestingly, urinary Pyr increased as the Lansbury’s joint score increased. Urinary Pyr
may serve as an indicator of the activitity of RA, because urinary Pyr includes a lot of collagen …

Transparent and conductive thin films consisting of p-type nickel oxide (NiO) semiconductors
were prepared by rf magnetron sputtering. A resistivity of 1.4 × 10 −1 ohms cm and a hole …

… SuperHRPD surpassed the world’s finest achieved resolution record, even at the very early
stages of MLF. The characteristics of our neutron source allow the neutron instruments to …

Highly conductive films of Al-doped ZnO have been prepared by rf magnetron sputtering of a
ZnO target with Al 2 O 3 dopant of 1–2 wt% in content added. Films with resistivity as low as …

The detailed study of electrical properties in group III impurity doped ZnO thin films prepared
by rf magnetron sputtering is described. The resistivity is lowered by doping of B, Al, Ga and …

As attention to environmental problems grows, product life cycle management is becoming
a crucial issue in realizing a sustainable society. Our objective is to provide the functions …

Background Helicobacter pylori infection is a well-known risk factor for gastric cancer. However,
the contribution of germline pathogenic variants in cancer-predisposing genes and their …

A sensor with a high sensitivity and an excellent selectivity for ammonia gas was prepared by
using sputtered ZnO thin films. The sensor exhibited an increase of resistance for exposure …

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a strong angiogenic mitogen and plays
important roles in angiogenesis under various pathophysiological conditions. The in vivo …

Background and Aims: The true prevalence of Helicobacter pylori‐negative gastric cancer (HpNGC)
is unknown. We attempt to clarify the prevalence and clinicopathologic features of …
