Non-Negative Matrix Factorization for 2D-XAS Images of Lithium Ion Batteries [PDF]
Lithium-ion secondary batteries have been used in a wide variety of purposes, such as for powering mobile devices and electric vehicles, but their performance should be improved. One of the factors that limits their performance is the non-uniformity of the chemical reaction in the process of charging and discharging.

The impact of physiological stress conditions on protein structure and trypsin inhibition of serine protease inhibitor Kazal type 1 (SPINK1) and its N34S variant [PDF]
One of the most common mutations in the serine protease inhibitor Kazal type 1 (SPINK1) gene is the N34S variant which is strongly associated with chronic pancreatitis. Although it is assumed that N34S mutation constitutes a high-risk factor, the underlying pathologic mechanism is still unknown.

SPECIFIC ANTIDOTES TO NEW ORAL ANTICOAGULANTS
Safety profiles of the novel oral anticoagulants (NOAC) (rivaroxaban, apixaban, edoxaban, dabigatran) are better than that of warfarin. However, the risk (including lifethreatening) of bleeding is no less than 2.3–3.1% per year.
