Statistical inference using regularized M-estimation in the reproducing kernel Hilbert space for handling missing data
Imputation is a popular technique for handling missing data. We address a nonparametric imputation using the regularized M-estimation techniques in the reproducing kernel Hilbert space. Specifically, we first ...

A novel classification of Kienbock’s disease based on magnetic resonance imaging
We devised a classification system for Kienbock’s disease using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Moreover, we compared it with the modified Lichtman classification and evaluated the inter-observer reliability.

Chemical profiling of insect-resistant rice shows that geographical variations produce greater differences in chemical composition than genetic modifications
Genetically modified (GM) rice (event, Bt-T) contains the Bacillus thuringiensis gene for insecticidal properties. To evaluate changes in the chemical compositions of Bt-T and non-GM rice cultivated in two region...

Ultrasonographic evaluation of contact configuration between flexor pollicis longus tendon and the volar prominence of volar plate in patients with distal radius fracture
We classified the contact configuration between the volar prominence of volar locking plate (VLP) and flexor pollicis longus (FPL) tendon using ultrasound (US) into indentation contact and smooth contact, and ...

The Tomato Juhwang Mutant Accumulates a High Level of β-Carotene and has a Long Shelf-Life
Carotenoids have diverse functions in plants and animals. In tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), the red color of fruits is due to the accumulation of the carotenoid lycopene during fruit ripening. Here, the effect of...

Open AccessImproved quantification of catechin and epicatechin in red rice (Oryza sativa L.) using stable isotope dilution liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry
Epimerization can change the catechin content and composition of samples during extraction and analytical analyses. To control the effect of epimerization, we developed a novel and stable isotope dilution liqu...
