Ion‐Gating Reservoir Computing for Preprocessing‐Free Speech Recognition from Throat Vibrations

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
This work presents a throat‐mounted mechanoelectric sensor integrated with an ion‐gel/graphene reservoir device for on‐device speech recognition. The system converts raw biomechanical vibrations into rich nonlinear current dynamics, enabling efficient classification through a simple linear readout. The approach highlights a compact and tunable physical‐

Ultra‐Low‐Strain Calcium and Magnesium Ion Storage Enabled by Tunnel‐Structured MoO3 Positive Electrode

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
A hexagonal tunnel‐structured MoO3 is nanoparticulated via hydrothermal synthesis followed by ball‐milling. As a positive electrode in Ca and Mg batteries, it delivers superior capacity and structural reversibility, enabling divalent cation intercalation with minimal lattice distortion and no phase transitions.

Paternal phylogeographic structure of the brown bear (Ursus arctos) in northeastern Asia and the effect of male-mediated gene flow to insular populations

Zoological Letters, 2017
Background Sex-biased dispersal is widespread among mammals, including the brown bear (Ursus arctos). Previous phylogeographic studies of the brown bear based on maternally inherited mitochondrial DNA have shown intraspecific genetic structuring around ...

Regional Disparities in Case Volumes and Surgeon Distribution in Gastroenterological Surgery

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Regional disparities in surgical resources may influence the delivery and sustainability of gastroenterological surgery, particularly in countries experiencing rapid population aging and depopulation. Methods This nationwide cross‐sectional study used data from the Japanese National Clinical Database to examine temporal trends (2013–

Potential of Sea Urchin Mesocentrotus nudus as a Target Catch Species in the Pacific Ocean off Eastern Hokkaido, Japan

Animals
Scientific reports on the distribution of Mesocentrotus nudus in Hokkaido are limited from Cape Soya to Cape Erimo along the coast of the Sea of Japan; however, fishery statistics show that its distribution has extended to the Sea of Okhotsk and Pacific ...
