Fatal familial insomnia (FFI) is a prion disease clinically characterised by progressive insomnia and dysautonomia, and associated with an aspartic acid to asparagine mutation at the codon 178 (D178N) of the prion protein gene (PRNP). This mutation is also associated with familial Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). These phenotypes have been held to depend on the polymorphism at the codon 129. FF...

We examine the effect of neutrino flavor transformation by fast instability (FFI) on long-term mass ejection from accretion disks formed after neutron star mergers. Neutrino emission and absorption in disk set composition ejecta, which subsequently undergoes $r$-process nucleosynthesis upon expansion cooling. Here we perform 28 time-dependent, axisymmetric, viscous-hydrodynamic simulations arou...

Burkholderia contaminans is a species of the Burkholderia cepacia complex, a group of bacteria that can grow in pharmaceutical products and are capable of infecting the immunocompromised and people with cystic fibrosis. Here, we report draft genome sequences for Burkholderia contaminans FFI-28, a strain isolated from a contaminated pharmaceutical solution.

Abstract The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is continuing its second extended mission after 55 sectors of observations. TESS publishes full-frame images (FFIs) at a cadence 1800, 600, or 200 s, allowing light curves to be extracted for stars beyond limited number pre-selected stars. Simulations show that thousands exoplanets, eclipsing binaries, variable stars, and other astrophys...

BACKGROUND The Levels of Emotional Awareness Scale (LEAS) was developed to assess five levels of emotional awareness: bodily sensations, action tendencies, single emotions, blends of emotion, and combinations of blends. It is a paper and pencil performance questionnaire that presents 20 emotion-evoking scenes. We developed a Japanese version of the LEAS (LEAS-J), and its reliability and validit...
