Wetting and evaporation of sessile droplets are ubiquitous in nature and of importance to
many industrial and everyday processes. While most of the research on sessile droplets has …

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are ligand-activated transcription
factors belonging to the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily. The 3 PPAR isotypes, PPAR-α, …

In this review we examine the influence of the line tension τ on droplets and particles at surfaces.
The line tension influences the nucleation behavior and contact angle of liquid droplets …

High-resolution x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) at 6 keV photon energy has been
realized utilizing high-flux-density x rays from the third generation high-energy synchrotron …

Although poor oral health influences the occurrence of pulmonary infection in elderly people,
it is unclear how the degree of oral health is linked to mortality from pulmonary infection. …

Titanium Dioxide, TiO 2 , is a photocatalyst with a unique characteristic. A surface coated with
TiO 2 exhibits an extremely high affinity for water when exposed to UV light and the contact …

Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are known as key immune regulators in various
human malignancies, and it is reported that CD14 + HLA-DR −/low MDSCs are increased in …

Titanium dioxide, TiO 2 , is one of the photocatalysts that has a very unique characteristic. The
surface coated with TiO 2 exhibits extremely high affinity for water by exposing the surface …

We examined the zero-field splitting of an iron (II) phthalocyanine (FePc) attached to clean
and oxidized Cu (110) surfaces and the dependence on an applied magnetic field by inelastic …

While arterial stiffness is known to be related to atherosclerosis, the association between
arterial stiffness and cardiac systolic and diastolic function in hypertension has not been fully …
