Spin injection and magnetoresistance in ferromagnet/superconductor/ferromagnet tunnel junctions
We theoretically study the spin-dependent transport in a
ferromagnet/superconductor/ferro-magnet double barrier tunnel junction. The
spin-polarized tunneling currents give rise to spin imbalance in the
superconductor. The resulting nonequilibrium spin density suppresses the
superconductivity with increase of the tunneling currents. We focus on the
effect of asymmetry in the double tunnel junction, where the barrier height of
the tunnel junction and the spin-polarization of the ferromagnets are
different, on spin injection, and discuss how the superconductivity is
suppressed in the asymmetric junction. Our results explain recent experimental
results on the critical current suppression in high- SCs by spin
injection.Comment: 3 pages, 2 figures, proceeding of MMM'9
Where did the super-small sized large bowel advanced cancer come from?
Our study suggested that the super-small sized (less than 15 mm in maximum diameter) large bowel advanced cancers, which were sometimes found, were derived from the superficial depressed-type or flat elevation-type of the colorectal early cancers, not polyp-type of those
A case of histoplasmosis Report 1. Cinical, mycological and pathological observations
In our country it has been believed that there is no histoplasmosis here in Japan. However, from the above clinical signs, radiological characteristics, laboratory tests, pathological and mycological examinations,
and experimental findings, we believe this is the first case of histoplasmosis in Japan.</p

Nonequilibrium Kondo Effect in a Quantum Dot Coupled to Ferromagnetic Leads
We study the Kondo effect in the electron transport through a quantum dot
coupled to ferromagnetic leads, using a real-time diagrammatic technique which
provides a systematic description of the nonequilibrium dynamics of a system
with strong local electron correlations. We evaluate the theory in an extension
of the `resonant tunneling approximation', introduced earlier, by introducing
the self-energy of the off-diagonal component of the reduced propagator in spin
space. In this way we develop a charge and spin conserving approximation that
accounts not only for Kondo correlations but also for the spin splitting and
spin accumulation out of equilibrium. We show that the Kondo resonances, split
by the applied bias voltage, may be spin polarized. A left-right asymmetry in
the coupling strength and/or spin polarization of the electrodes significantly
affects both the spin accumulation and the weight of the split Kondo resonances
out of equilibrium. The effects are observable in the nonlinear differential
conductance. We also discuss the influence of decoherence on the Kondo
resonance in the frame of the real-time formulation.Comment: 13 pages, 13 figure
Ku-band long distance site-diversity (SD) Characteristics using new measuring system
Abstract—This paper deals with the short (10 km) and long dis-tance (300–1400 km) site-diversity (SD) characteristics by using a newly developed measuring system. In the proposed measuring system, six earth stations transmit 14-GHz band QPSK signals, and one measuring earth station receives 12-GHz band signals and processes them to determine SD characteristics. As a result, easy operation and maintenance, low-cost measuring system construc-tion and highly accurate data have been obtained. By comparing those measured results with the SD joint probability approxima-tion equation in ITU-R Rec.P.618-7, a good agreement can be ob-tained. Furthermore, the effect of typhoons on SD characteristics were measured. Index Terms—Rain attenuation, satellite communication system, site-diversity (SD) measurement system, SD characteristics, VSAT system design. I
Iridium-catalyzed α-selective deuteration of alcohols
新規重水素化触媒反応を開発 --医薬品への直接重水素導入を達成--. 京都大学プレスリリース. 2022-07-21.The development of chemoselective C(sp³)-H deuteration is of particular interest in synthetic chemistry. We herein report the α-selective, iridium(III)-bipyridonate-catalyzed hydrogen(H)/deuterium(D) isotope exchange of alcohols using deuterium oxide (D₂O) as the primary deuterium source. This method enables the direct, chemoselective deuteration of primary and secondary alcohols under basic or neutral conditions without being affected by coordinative functional groups such as imidazole and tetrazole. Successful substrates for deuterium labelling include the pharmaceuticals losartan potassium, rapidosept, guaifenesin, and diprophylline. The deuterated losartan potassium shows higher stability towards the metabolism by CYP2C9 than the protiated analogue. Kinetic and DFT studies indicate that the direct deuteration proceeds through dehydrogenation of alcohol to the carbonyl intermediate, conversion of [Ir[III]–H] to [Ir[III]−D] with D₂O, and deuteration of the carbonyl intermediate to give the α-deuterated product
