Erectile dysfunction (ED) with aging and diabetes mellitus is caused by impairment of the relaxation evoked by nitric oxide (NO) of penile cavernous smooth muscles and arterioles. However, the mechanism of ED in hypertension is unknown. Carbon monoxide (CO), which is produced by heme oxygenase (HO)-2 in the neuronal system is a neurotransmitter and a vasodilator. We examined the neurogenic role...

Misalignment of the ocular axes induces double vision and rivalry. To prevent these unpleasant sensations, most subjects fixate preferentially with one eye and suppress entirely the deviating eye or else suppress portions of the visual field of either eye. To explore the mechanism of visual suppression, a divergent strabismus (exotropia) was induced in six normal, adult Macaca fascicularis by d...

The relationship between the crystal phase and absorbed hydrogen in cobalt electrodeposited from a LiCl-based highly concentrated (HC) aqueous solution was investigated using X-ray diffraction thermal desorption spectroscopy. We expected that use of an HC would enable electrodeposition without evolution concomitant absorption. current efficiency deposition more than 99% at potentials above –0.8...

In this paper we experimentally studied GMI effect and soft magnetic behavior of Co-rich microwires. Correlation between magnetoelastic anisotropy and magnetic field dependences of diagonal and off-diagonal impedance components are observed. Low field GMI hysteresis, explained in terms of magnetoelastic anisotropy of microwires, has been suppressed by the bias current.

Aerospace In article number 2203920, Lyndsey McMillon-Brown, Sayanatani Ghosh, and co-workers report on the first long duration space flight of a metal halide perovskite photoactive layer International Space Station. Post-flight analysis reveals that samples exhibit superior photo-stability, no irreversible radiation damage, suppressed structural phase transition temperature, broadening photovo...

3D Tomography In article number 2107349, Stefan Ringe, Youngkook Kwon, Hyung Mo Jeong, and co-workers suggest a new catalytic carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) environment, sub-nano scale spacing within Sn nanoparticles, which is achieved by Li electrochemical tuning method. this small structural space confinement induces enhances the activity selectivity of CO2RR stabilization rate-lim...

we introduce and  study  fuzzy (co-)inner product and fuzzy(co-)norm of hyperspaces. in this regard by considering  the notionof hyperspaces, as a generalization of vector spaces, first we willintroduce the notion of fuzzy (co-)inner product in hyperspaces and will apply it to formulate the notions offuzzy (co-)norm and fuzzy (co-)orthogonality  in hyperspaces. inparticular, we will prove that ...

Abstract Background Hepatocytes usually express fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4), but not its ligand, 19 (FGF19). A subtype of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) expresses FGF19, which activates the FGFR4 signaling pathway that induces cell proliferation. inhibitors target this mechanism are under clinical development for treatment HCCs with FGF19 amplification or overexpression. Src pla...
