Application of the Transition Model of Edge Pedestal Properties in jϕ-α Space to a KSTAR-like Tokamak
We calculated the transition of edge pedestal properties in jϕ-α space for a KSTAR-like plasma and compared the results with those from the analytical transition model. The transition is from a critical equilibri...

Trabecular bone ratio of the mandibular condyle according to the presence of teeth: a micro-CT study
During mastication, mechanical pressure from the dentition is transmitted to the trabecular bone of the mandible. The occlusal forces, which could thus affect condylar growth, vary with tooth loss, age, and se...

Allelic variation of the Waxy gene in foxtail millet [Setaria italica (L.) P. Beauv.] by single nucleotide polymorphisms
The Waxy (Wx) gene product controls the formation of a straight chain polymer of amylose in the starch pathway. Dominance/recessiveness of the Wx allele is associated with amylose content, leading to non-waxy/wax...
