Adiponectin is an adipokine that is specifically and abundantly expressed in adipose tissue
and directly sensitizes the body to insulin. Hypoadiponectinemia, caused by interactions of …

Most of the nuclei in the nuclear chart are deformed except for those in the vicinity of the
magic numbers. It is difficult to treat such nuclei within the framework of the standard (spherical) …

Target of Rapamycin (TOR), a giant protein kinase expressed by all eucaryotic cells, controls
cell size in response to nutrient signals. In metazoans, cell and organismal growth is …

Adiponectin is an adipocyte-derived hormone. Recent genome-wide scans have mapped a
susceptibility locus for type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome to chromosome 3q27, where …

The Belle detector at the KEKB electron-positron collider has collected almost 1 billion Y(4S)
events in its decade of operation. Super-KEKB, an upgrade of KEKB is under construction, …

The mass of the W boson, a mediator of the weak force between elementary particles, is tightly
constrained by the symmetries of the standard model of particle physics. The Higgs boson …

mTOR controls cell growth, in part by regulating p70 S6 kinase α (p70α) and eukaryotic
initiation factor 4E binding protein 1 (4EBP1). Raptor is a 150 kDa mTOR binding protein that …

… (K d approximately 0.80 µg ml -1 , equivalent to 14.4 nM of the globular adiponectin trimer).
In contrast, there are intermediate (K d … full-length adiponectin (K d value approximately 329.3 …

We present a measurement of the standard model CP violation parameter sin 2 φ 1 based
on a 29.1 fb− 1 data sample collected at the ϒ (4 S) resonance with the Belle detector at the …

We present the results of a search for the top quark in 19.3 pb− 1 of pp collisions at√ s= 1.8
TeV. The data were collected at the Fermilab Tevatron collider using the Collider Detector at …
