In this paper, we proved that a compact Sasakian manifold [Formula: see text] with negative transverse holomorphic sectional curvature must have structure Ricci curvature. Similarly, nonpositive curvature, then the first basic Chern class is nef and Miyaoka–Yau-type inequality. When quasi-negative, obtain number

Aim. To investigate pharmacological mechanisms of Wu Tou Tang acting on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by integrating network analysis at a system level. Methods and Results. Drug similarity search tool in Therapeutic Targets Database was used to screen 153 drugs with similar structures to compositive compounds of each ingredient in Wu Tou Tang and to identify 56 known targets of these similar drugs...

The purpose of this study was to compare the acute effects of general, specific and combined warm-up (WU) on explosive performance. Healthy male (n = 10) subjects participated in six WU protocols in a crossover randomized study design. Protocols were: passive rest (PR; 15 min of passive rest), running (Run; 5 min of running at 70% of maximum heart rate), stretching (STR; 5 min of static stretch...

PURPOSE We used new criteria to elucidate the demographics of acute low-tone sensorineural hearing loss (ALHL) and tested the Chinese medicine Wu-Ling-San as a treatment for ALHL. PROCEDURES We reviewed the medical records of patients with ALHL seen at the outpatient clinic of the Social Insurance Central General Hospital in Tokyo from April 2006 through August 2011. Patients were treated wit...

We study the early time behavior of the Baxter-Wu model, an Ising model with three-spin interactions on a triangular lattice. Our estimates for the dynamic exponent z are compatible with results recently obtained for two models which belong to the same universality class of the Baxter-Wu model: the two-dimensional four-state Potts model and the Ising model with three-spin interactions in one di...

We report a high birefringence terphenyl liquid crystal mixture, designated as M3, for infrared phase modulation with special emphasis on mid-wave infrared (MWIR). In addition to high birefringence, M3 exhibits excellent UV stability, modest dielectric anisotropy, and a very broad nematic range. The high birefringence enables a thin cell gap to be used for achieving a 2π phase change while main...

This study was designed to determine the effects of Wu-Zi-Yan-Zong-Fang on amyloid-beta(25-35)-induced cognitive deficits in rats and neurotoxicity in pheochromocytoma cells and the possible mechanism of action. In vivo studies showed that Wu-Zi-Yan-Zong-Fang significantly ameliorated the spatial memory and retention deficits, decreased acetylcholinesterase activity, and increased acetylcholine...

Must an agent use attention in order to guide its purposive bodily movements? Or, to put it more simply, is attention necessary for action? Wayne Wu presents an argument for the claim that attention is necessary for action in Wu 2008, 2011 and 2014. The argument is this: since action requires a solution to the Many–Many Problem, and since only attention can solve the Many–Many Problem, attentio...
