This study reports a facile and practical means to non‐invasively deliver biologically active ingredients through the skin using polymer‐based nanocarriers. For this, polymer nanocapsules were fabricated with different surface charges as well as glass transition temperatures and we observed their ability to deliver the encapsulated active ingredient, coenzyme Q10, through the skin layer. Direct imaging of a probe molecule, Nile Red, and a matrix polymer labeled with fluorescence moiety, Lucifer Yellow, allowed us to demonstrate that the probe molecule readily permeates into the deep skin, while the matrix polymer stays in the stratum corneum layer due to electrostatic interactions. Quantitative characterization of the penetrating amount of coenzyme Q10 using the Frantz cell method proved that, to achieve improved delivery efficiency, the nanocapsule should have a low glass transition temperature as well as positive surface charges.

We report the observation of highly anisotropic Dirac fermions in a Bi square net of SrMnBi(2), based on a first-principles calculation, angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, and quantum oscillations for high-quality single crystals. We found that the Dirac dispersion is generally induced in the (SrBi)(+) layer containing a double-sized Bi square net. In contrast to the commonly observed isotropic Dirac cone, the Dirac cone in SrMnBi(2) is highly anisotropic with a large momentum-dependent disparity of Fermi velocities of ~8. These findings demonstrate that a Bi square net, a common building block of various layered pnictides, provides a new platform that hosts highly anisotropic Dirac fermions. 相似文献
In this paper we propose a new nonparametric regression method called composite support vector quantile regression (CSVQR) that combines the formulations of support vector regression and composite quantile regression. First the CSVQR using the quadratic programming (QP) is proposed and then the CSVQR utilizing the iteratively reweighted least squares (IRWLS) procedure is proposed to overcome weakness of the QP based method in terms of computation time. The IRWLS procedure based method enables us to derive a generalized cross validation (GCV) function that is easier and faster than the conventional cross validation function. The GCV function facilitates choosing the hyperparameters that affect the performance of the CSVQR and saving computation time. Numerical experiment results are presented to illustrate the performance of the proposed method 相似文献
In this paper, we study a flocking dynamics of the deterministic inertial spin (IS) model. The IS model was introduced for the collective dynamics of active particles with an internal angular momentum, or spin. When the generalized moment of inertia becomes negligible compared to spin dissipation (overdamped limit) and mutual communication weight is a function of a relative distance between interacting particles, the deterministic inertial spin model formally reduces to the Cucker–Smale (CS) model with constant speed constraint whose emergent dynamics has been extensively studied in the previous literature. We present several sufficient frameworks leading to the asymptotic mono-cluster flocking, in which spins and relative velocities tend to zero asymptotically. We also provide several numerical simulations for the decoupled and coupled inertial spin models to see the effect of the C–S velocity flocking and compare them with our analytical results.

The low-lying electronic states of the molecule FeC have been investigated by performing all electron ab initio multi-configuration self-consistent-field (CASSCF) and multi reference configuration interaction (MRCI) calculations. The
relativistic corrections for the one-electron Darwin contact term and the relativistic mass-velocity correction have been
determined in perturbation calculations. The electronic structure of the FeC molecule is interpreted as antiferromagnetic
couplings of the localized angular momenta of the ions and resulting in a triple bond in the valence bond sense. The electronic ground state is confirmed as being . The spectroscopic constants for the ground state and eleven excited states have been derived from the results of the MRCI
calculations. The spectroscopic constants for the ground state have been determined as and ,and for the low-lying state as and . The values for the ground state agree well with the available experimental data. The FeC molecule is polar with charge transfer
from Fe to C. The dipole moment has been determined as in the ground state and as 1.51 D in the state. From the results of the MRCI calculations the dissociation energy, , is determined as 2.79 eV, and D0 as 2.74 eV.

To date, there is no method to measure non-destructively the modulus of trabeculae within cancellous bone, whilst retaining
its structural integrity. In this study ultrasonic scanning, coupled with microCT imaging, is employed to determine trabeculae
modulus along the three major anatomical axes non-destructively. The proposed method allows cancellous bone specimens to remain
intact, for possible use in subsequent studies. Volume rendering of the microCT images allows three-dimensional visualization
of cancellous bone specimens to be tested. This facilitates trabeculae selection and accurate measurement of distance traveled
by the ultrasonic wave, thus yielding a good degree of confidence in the acoustic velocity measured. For all the three principal
anatomical directions, the measured acoustic speeds ranged from 2,115 to 3,077 m/s, giving an average of 2,505 m/s. Average
wave velocities in the superior–inferior, medial–lateral and anterior–posterior anatomical directions were found to be 2,295,
2,469 and 2,754 m/s, respectively; the differences corresponding to the three directions do not appear to be significant.
Subsequently, the modulus was then determined using elastic wave propagation theory. 相似文献
