We have studied the angular dependence of the irreversible magnetization and its time relaxation in YBa2Cu3O7 single crystals with one or two families of columnar defects inclined with respect to the c axis. At high magnetic fields, the magnetization shows the usual maximum centered at the mean tracks’ orientation and an associated minimum in the normalized relaxation rate. In contrast, at low ...

Isolation, cultivation, and characterization of the intestinal microorganisms are important for understanding the comprehensive physiology of the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract microbiota. Here, we isolated two novel bacterial strains, YIT 12067(T) and YIT 12068, from the feces of healthy human adults. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that they belonged to the same species and were most close...

BACKGROUND The prevalence of type 2 diabetes is increasing in epidemic proportions in low- and middle-income countries. There is an urgent need for novel methods to tackle the increasing incidence of diabetes. The ubiquity of mobile phone use and access to Internet makes mobile health (mHealth) technology a viable tool to prevent and manage diabetes. OBJECTIVE The objective of this randomized...
