We present observations of SDSSp J104433.04--012502.2, a luminous quasar at z=5.80 discovered from Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) multicolor imaging data. This object was selec...
Thermal physics of the lead chalcogenides PbS, PbSe, and PbTe from first principles
The lead chalcogenides represent an important family of functional materials,\nin particular due to the benchmark high-temperature thermoelectric performance\nof PbTe. A number ...
National Institutional Structures, Transaction Cost Economizing and Competitive Advantage: The Case of Japan
Japan’s economic success since World War II has been striking. Modern Japan was the first major industrial economy to emerge from outside the Western tradition. Economically dev...
A Complete Terrestrial Radiocarbon Record for 11.2 to 52.8 kyr B.P.
Dating Carbon Radiocarbon dating is the best way to determine the age of samples that contain carbon and that are younger than ∼50,000 years, the limit of precision for the meth...
The ages of alleles and a coalescent
A new coalescent is introduced to study the genealogy of a sample from the infinite-alleles model of population genetics. This coalescent also records the age ordering of allele...
Non‐alcoholic steatohepatitis: What is it, and why is it important in the Asia–Pacific region?
Abstract Non‐alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), is a critical link in the chain of metabolic fatty liver disorders that spans steatosis to cryptogenic cirrhosis. It is the hepati...
Updating the MISEV minimal requirements for extracellular vesicle studies: building bridges to reproducibility
On separation of EVs (also referred to as isolation, purification or concentration), MISEV2014 acknowledged that there is no consensus on an “optimal” method, such as ultracentr...
