Epitaxial chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth of uniform single-layer graphene is
demonstrated over Co film crystallized on c-plane sapphire. The single crystalline Co film is …

Dental pulp stem cells (DPSC) usually remain quiescent in the dental pulp tissue; however,
once the dental pulp tissue is injured, DPSCs potently proliferate and migrate into the injury …

We have used fibrous carbon materials as polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) electrodes. We
have examined the influence of the ionomer/carbon ratio on the performance of the PEFCs…

The plant–soil system was studied at different topographic levels (ie ridge, backslope and
footslope) along a slope in a Cryptomeria plantation. Soil solution chemistry at each …

We report on the coupling of single nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers to ultrathin fiber-taper
nanofibers by the manipulation of single diamond nanocrystals on the nanofibers under real-…

Owing to the gapless nature of graphene, opening a bandgap in its band structure is necessary
to exploit its extraordinary properties in potential future electronic applications.[1] Since …

There is a need to develop a recycling method for rice husk ash (RHA), as large amount of
RHA is generated in rice husk-based power plants. Present study evaluated the RHA …

Intestinal barrier function declines with aging. We evaluated the effect of dietary fibers and
indigestible oligosaccharides on intestinal barrier function by altering the microbiota of the …

Gold nanoparticles stabilized with thioglucose (TGlu-AuNPs), which have carboxyl groups
on the particle surface as anchoring sites for covalent immobilization of biomolecules, were …

It is well known that dental pulp tissue can evoke some of the most severe acute inflammation
observed in the human body. We found that dental pulp cells secrete a factor that induces …
