Background The use of 3-dimensional highly porous acetabular cups is increasing. Their
structure and mechanical properties mimic those of natural bone; therefore, they should …

The effects of an electric field on the flow patterns and defect dynamics of two-dimensional
active nematic liquid crystals are numerically investigated. We found that field-induced …

The permeabilities of oxygen through the molten Fe2O3-CaO-SiO2-Al2O3 and CaF2-CaO-SiO2-Al2O3
systems were measured by means of an experimental procedure which was …

Coupling between flow and orientation is a central issue in understanding the collective
dynamics of active biofilaments and cells. Active stressess generated by motor activity destroy (…

Fe, Oa-CaO-Si02-AI, Oa and CaF,-CaO-SiO,-AI, O a systems were measured by means of
the experimental procedure which has been developed by the authors. The permeabilities …

Objective: A large-scale multicenter historical cohort study was conducted to investigate the
efficacy of laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) in comparison to open gastrectomy (OG) for locally …

Lumbar spondylolysis usually occurs as a stress fracture in the pars interarticularis of the
vertebra. It is a prevalent sports-related disorder and a common cause of low back pain. We …

An experimental procedure to determine the permeability of dissolved oxygen gas in liquid
slag has been developed using an oxygen concentration cell. A small amount of oxygen gas …

Physical forces generated by tissue-tissue interactions are a critical component of embryogenesis,
aiding the formation of organs in a coordinated manner. In this study, using Xenopus …

Background and Aim: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are the most common mesenchymal
tumors of the human gut. They frequently have gain‐of‐function mutations of the c‐kit …
