NASICON- (Na superionic conductor-) based solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) are believed to be attracting candidates for sodium batteries due their high ionic conductivity and prospectively reliable stability. However, the poor interface compatibility formation of Na dendrites inhibit practical application. Herein, we directly observed propagation through NASICON-based 3.1 Zr 2 Si 2.1 P 0.9 O 12 ...

Solid-state electrolyte (SSE) coupled with Li metal anode, is one of the very promising architecture designs to achieve all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) for advanced next-generation energy storage technology in expectation boosted density, power, and increased safety. Among reported SSEs, garnet-type Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) SSEs have attracted wide interest terms their relatively high ionic conduc...

DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair occurring in repeated DNA sequences often leads to the generation of chromosomal rearrangements. Homologous recombination normally ensures a faithful repair of DSBs through a mechanism that transfers the genetic information of an intact donor template to the broken molecule. When only one DSB end shares homology to the donor template, conventional gene conve...

Super-Secondary structure elements (super-SSEs) are the structurally conserved ensembles of secondary structure elements (SSEs) within a protein. They are of great biological interest. In this work, we present a method to formally represent and mine the sequence order independent super-SSE motifs that occur repeatedly in large data sets of protein structures. We represent a protein structure as...

Abstract Using global navigation satellite system (GNSS) data to detect millimeter-order signals of short-term slow slip events (S-SSEs) and estimate their source parameters, especially duration, is challenging because low signal-to-noise ratio. Although the duration S-SSEs in Nankai subduction zone has been estimated using tiltmeters, its regional variation never quantitatively studied. We dev...

The entropy of electromyography (EMG) signals suggests a possible tool for the clinical assessment of low back pain (LBP). However, a general physiological mechanism for entropy and pain and/or dysfunction following exercise intervention is still unknown. This comparative study investigated the differences between entropy levels of the EMG signals and the slope of median frequency (MF) based on...

Background: The ability of managers of small-scale enterprises (SSEs) to prioritize health, working conditions, and their own physical fitness is an important issue for workplace health promotion in Norway and Sweden, where most owner-manager positions are in SSEs. Aim: To assess the physical fitness status of SSE managers compared to a norm population and to study changes in physical fitness s...

INTRODUCTION A number of drugs have been shown to extend life expectancy in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Skeletal related events (SREs) secondary to bone metastases cause significant morbidity for men with CRPC. The α-emitting radiopharmaceutical radium-223 dichloride has been shown to improve overall survival, time to symptomatic skeletal events (SSEs) and quality of life in CR...

Study is a key concept in making design more fruitful in education. We propose that what students are doing when they construct knowledge is studying. Specifically, we think that the term study captures better what should be going on during knowledge construction then does the term learn. Thus, in designing for knowledge construction we see ourselves as designing Study Support Environments (SSE...

MOTIVATION Protein domains are fundamental units of protein structure, function and evolution; thus, it is critical to gain a deep understanding of protein domain organization. Previous works have attempted to identify key residues involved in organization of domain architecture. Because one of the most important characteristics of domain architecture is the arrangement of secondary structure e...
