The naked mole-rat (Heterocephalus glaber) lives communally in a thermally buffered underground habitat. Here, it relies primarily on ectothermic (behavioral) mechanisms to maintain body temperature (T(b)). Outside this milieu, it is unable to effectively regulate T(b) and T(b) tracks that of ambient temperature (T(a)). Although naked mole-rats, in their natural habitat have little need for col...

Gravitational collapse is one of the most striking phenomena in gravitational physics. The cosmic censorship conjecture has provided strong motivation for researches in this field. In the absence of general proof for the censorship, many examples have been proposed, in which naked singularity is the outcome of gravitational collapse. Recent development has revealed that there are examples of na...

Many statistical and data mining techniques have been used to analyze the deluge of data generated by computerized, sensing devices. Behavioral psychologists traditionally have relied on "low-tech" methodologies for observing animal behavior in the wild and the laboratory. These methods are time intensive and laborious. When the observed animal is a colony animal, with many individuals to obser...

In this era that new technology has affected human life, many research scientists believe that Biophilic design can improve human well-being.� Biophilic architecture can provide healthy spaces connected with nature and reduce stress and enhance longevity. Different researchers have identified and categorized different patterns in the Biophilic design. These patterns have a wide range of applica...

tRNase ZL-utilizing efficacious gene silencing (TRUE gene silencing) is an RNA-mediated gene expression control technology with therapeutic potential. Recently, our group demonstrated that a heptamer, mh1 (Bcl‑2), targeting human Bcl-2 mRNA, can be taken up by cells without the use of any transfection reagents and can induce the apoptosis of leukemia cells. However, little is known regarding th...

We study the static three-quark (3Q) potential in detail using SU(3) lattice QCD with 12 × 24 at β = 5.7 and 16 × 32 at β = 5.8, 6.0 at the quenched level. For more than 200 patterns of the 3Q systems, we numerically derive 3Q ground-state potential V3Q from the 3Q Wilson loop with the smearing technique, which reduces excited-state contaminations. The lattice QCD data of V3Q are well reproduce...

The yolk platelets of mature eggs and young embryonic cells of all amphibian species studied (Rana pipiens, Triturus pyrrhogaster, Diemictylus viridescens, Rana nigromaculata, and Bufo vulgaris) have a superficial layer of fine particles or fibrils (ca. 50 A in diameter), a central main body with a crystalline lattice structure, and an enclosing membrane approximately 70 A in thickness. Electro...
