Phonon Dispersion Measurements of YBa2Cu3O6.15 and YBa2Cu3O6.95 by Time-of-Flight Neutron Spectroscopy
We measured the phonon dispersions of YBa2Cu3O6.15 and YBa2Cu3O6.95 by time-of-flight inelastic neutron scattering. The in-plane bond-stretching modes in the metallic phase showed a distinct a-b plane anisotropy ...

Anti-GBM glomerulonephritis in mice lacking IL-1β-converting enzyme (ICE)
Background. Interleukin-1 (IL-1) has been reported to play a major role in the initiation and progression of several glomerulonephritis, and inhibition of IL-1 by the blockade of IL-1β-converting enzyme (ICE) ha...

New Observational Frontiers of Er Uma (= PG 0943+521) Type Dwarf Novae
The ER UMa-type, including ER UMa, VI159 Ori and RZ LMi, is a subgroup of SU UMa-type dwarf novae. Outbursts of these stars are characterized by: (i) the extremely short recurrence time of the superoutburst (∼...
