Two studies examined self-appraisals in Japanese and Canadian samples. Study 1 included open-ended self-descriptions; Study 2 incorporated indirect measures of self-enhancing tendencies. In Study 1, t...
The biomechanical effects on cervical vertebral columns (C1-C7) during mastication were calculated using a three-dimensional (3D) finite element method. To verify the biomechanical influences of verti...
The purpose of this study was to measure tongue pressure exerted on the loop of the transpalatal arch (TPA) during deglutition and to consider the influence of the distance of the loop of the TPA from...
The characteristics of mandibular lateral displacement include lateral inclination of the occlusal plane and the differences between the right and left masticatory muscles. The aims of this investigat...
From gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), numerous plant growth inhibitors were found in the rhizome and root exudates of cogongrass, one of the most problematic weeds in the world. iso-Eugen...
An extracellular cysteine protease inhibitor (ECPI-2) was purified to homogeneity from the culture filtrate of Chlorella sp. 4533 by the combination of various column chromatographies. The molecular m...
The purpose of this study was to estimate the increase in arch perimeter associated with mandibular lateral expansion. The mandibular expansion was simulated using a three-dimensional (3D) finite elem...
