ContextIn observational studies, elevated plasma total homocysteine levels have been
positively associated with ischemic stroke risk. However the utility of homocysteine-lowering …

We have measured the inclusive b→ s γ branching ratio to be (2.32±0.57±0.35)× 10− 4,
where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic. Upper and lower limits on the …

The cross section for e+ e−→ π+ π− ψ (2 S) between threshold and s= 5.5 GeV is measured
using 673 fb− 1 of data on and off the Υ (4 S) resonance collected with the Belle detector at …

Piezoelectric materials, which convert mechanical to electrical energy and vice versa, are
typically characterized by the intimate coexistence of two phases across a morphotropic phase …

Background— Given the central importance of nitric oxide (NO) in the development and
clinical course of cardiovascular diseases, we sought to determine whether the powerful …

Background Current staging methods are inadequate for predicting the outcome of treatment
of non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We developed a five-gene signature that is closely …

Background Extracorporeal life-support as an adjunct to cardiac resuscitation has shown
encouraging outcomes in patients with cardiac arrest. However, there is little evidence about …

Ongoing brain activity can be recorded as electroen-cephalograph (EEG) to discover the
links between emotional states and brain activity. This study applied machine-learning …

… where t ch and ε ch are the channel thickness and channel k, respectively, and t ox and ε
ox are, respectively, the thickness and k of the gate oxide. Notably, λ approaches 1 nm for …

and by CD40/CD40 ligand (CD40L and CD154) interactions. 18–22 Once adherent, the
monocytes transmigrate into the tunica intima, the innermost layer of the arterial wall, passing …
