Abstract
Each nucleosome contains four types of histone proteins, each with a histone tail. These tails are essential for the epigenetic regulation of gene expression through post-translational modifications (PTMs). However, their influence on nucleosome dynamics at the single-molecule level remains undetermined. Here, we employed high-speed atomic force microscopy to visualize nucleosome dynamics in the absence of the N-terminal tail of each histone or all of the N-terminal tails. Loss of all tails stripped 6.7 base pairs of the nucleosome from the histone core, and the DNA entry-exit angle expanded by 18° from that of wild-type nucleosomes. Tail-less nucleosomes, particularly those without H2B and H3 tails, showed a 10-fold increase in dynamics, such as nucleosome sliding and DNA unwrapping/wrapping, within 0.3 s, emphasizing their role in histone-DNA interactions. Our findings illustrate that N-terminal histone tails stabilize the nucleosome structure, suggesting that histone tail PTMs modulate nucleosome dynamics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the P4 suicide screener in a multinational sample. The primary goal was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the scale and investigate its convergent validity by analyzing its correlation with depression, anxiety, and substance use. STUDY DESIGN The study design is a cross-sectional self-report study conducted across 42 countries. METHODS A cross-sectional, self-report study was conducted in 42 countries, with a total of 82,243 participants included in the final data set. RESULTS The study provides an overview of suicide ideation rates across 42 countries and confirms the structural validity of the P4 screener. The findings indicated that sexual and gender minority individuals exhibited higher rates of suicidal ideation. The P4 screener showed adequate reliability, convergence, and discriminant validity, and a cutoff score of 1 is recommended to identify individuals at risk of suicidal behavior. CONCLUSIONS The study supports the reliability and validity of the P4 suicide screener across 42 diverse countries, highlighting the importance of using a cross-cultural suicide risk assessment to standardize the identification of high-risk individuals and tailoring culturally sensitive suicide prevention strategies.

Abstract
Understanding voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channels is significant since they generate action potential. Nav channels consist of a pore domain (PD) and a voltage sensor domain (VSD). All resolved Nav structures in different gating states have VSDs that tightly interact with PDs; however, it is unclear whether VSDs attach to PDs during gating under physiological conditions. Here, we reconstituted three different voltage-dependent NavAb, which is cloned from Arcobacter butzleri, into a lipid membrane and observed their structural dynamics by high-speed atomic force microscopy on a sub-second timescale in the steady state. Surprisingly, VSDs dissociated from PDs in the mutant in the resting state and further dimerized to form cross-links between channels. This dimerization would occur at a realistic channel density, offering a potential explanation for the facilitation of positive cooperativity of channel activity in the rising phase of the action potential.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of type 2 diabetes is increasing rapidly, particularly among younger age groups. Estimates suggest that people with diabetes die, on average, 6 years earlier than people without diabetes. We aimed to provide reliable estimates of the associations between age at diagnosis of diabetes and all-cause mortality, cause-specific mortality, and reductions in life expectancy. METHODS For this observational study, we conducted a combined analysis of individual-participant data from 19 high-income countries using two large-scale data sources: the Emerging Risk Factors Collaboration (96 cohorts, median baseline years 1961-2007, median latest follow-up years 1980-2013) and the UK Biobank (median baseline year 2006, median latest follow-up year 2020). We calculated age-adjusted and sex-adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) for all-cause mortality according to age at diagnosis of diabetes using data from 1 515 718 participants, in whom deaths were recorded during 23·1 million person-years of follow-up. We estimated cumulative survival by applying age-specific HRs to age-specific death rates from 2015 for the USA and the EU. FINDINGS For participants with diabetes, we observed a linear dose-response association between earlier age at diagnosis and higher risk of all-cause mortality compared with participants without diabetes. HRs were 2·69 (95% CI 2·43-2·97) when diagnosed at 30-39 years, 2·26 (2·08-2·45) at 40-49 years, 1·84 (1·72-1·97) at 50-59 years, 1·57 (1·47-1·67) at 60-69 years, and 1·39 (1·29-1·51) at 70 years and older. HRs per decade of earlier diagnosis were similar for men and women. Using death rates from the USA, a 50-year-old individual with diabetes died on average 14 years earlier when diagnosed aged 30 years, 10 years earlier when diagnosed aged 40 years, or 6 years earlier when diagnosed aged 50 years than an individual without diabetes. Using EU death rates, the corresponding estimates were 13, 9, or 5 years earlier. INTERPRETATION Every decade of earlier diagnosis of diabetes was associated with about 3-4 years of lower life expectancy, highlighting the need to develop and implement interventions that prevent or delay the onset of diabetes and to intensify the treatment of risk factors among young adults diagnosed with diabetes.

Abstract
Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) plays a pivotal role in synaptic plasticity. It is a dodecameric serine/threonine kinase that has been highly conserved across metazoans for over a million years. Despite the extensive knowledge of the mechanisms underlying CaMKII activation, its behavior at the molecular level has remained unobserved. In this study, we used high-speed atomic force microscopy to visualize the activity-dependent structural dynamics of rat/hydra/C. elegans CaMKII with nanometer resolution. Our imaging results revealed that the dynamic behavior is dependent on CaM binding and subsequent pT286 phosphorylation. Among the species studies, only rat CaMKIIα with pT286/pT305/pT306 exhibited kinase domain oligomerization. Furthermore, we revealed that the sensitivity of CaMKII to PP2A in the three species differs, with rat, C. elegans, and hydra being less dephosphorylated in that order. The evolutionarily acquired features of mammalian CaMKIIα-specific structural arrangement and phosphatase tolerance may differentiate neuronal function between mammals and other species.

Abstract
We present measurements of the cross section and double-helicity asymmetry A_{LL} of direct-photon production in p[over →]+p[over →] collisions at sqrt[s]=510 GeV. The measurements have been performed at midrapidity (|η|<0.25) with the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. At relativistic energies, direct photons are dominantly produced from the initial quark-gluon hard scattering and do not interact via the strong force at leading order. Therefore, at sqrt[s]=510 GeV, where leading-order-effects dominate, these measurements provide clean and direct access to the gluon helicity in the polarized proton in the gluon-momentum-fraction range 0.02<x<0.08, with direct sensitivity to the sign of the gluon contribution.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential vanilloid member 1 (TRPV1) is a heat and capsaicin receptor that allows cations to permeate and cause pain. As the molecular basis for temperature sensing, the heat capacity (ΔCp) model [D. E. Clapham, C. Miller, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 108, 19492-19497 (2011).] has been proposed and experimentally supported. Theoretically, heat capacity is proportional to a variance in enthalpy, presumably related to structural fluctuation; however, the fluctuation of TRPV1 has not been directly visualized. In this study, we directly visualized single-molecule structural fluctuations of the TRPV1 channels in a lipid bilayer with the ligands resiniferatoxin (agonist, 1,000 times hotter than capsaicin) and capsazepine (antagonist) by high-speed atomic force microscopy. We observed the structural fluctuations of TRPV1 in an apo state and found that RTX binding enhances structural fluctuations, while CPZ binding suppresses fluctuations. These ligand-dependent differences in structural fluctuation would play a key role in the gating of TRPV1.

Abstract
Programmable DNA binding and cleavage by CRISPR-Cas9 has revolutionized the life sciences. However, the off-target cleavage observed in DNA sequences with some homology to the target still represents a major limitation for a more widespread use of Cas9 in biology and medicine. For this reason, complete understanding of the dynamics of DNA binding, interrogation and cleavage by Cas9 is crucial to improve the efficiency of genome editing. Here, we use high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) to investigate Staphylococcus aureus Cas9 (SaCas9) and its dynamics of DNA binding and cleavage. Upon binding to single-guide RNA (sgRNA), SaCas9 forms a close bilobed structure that transiently and flexibly adopts also an open configuration. The SaCas9-mediated DNA cleavage is characterized by release of cleaved DNA and immediate dissociation, confirming that SaCas9 operates as a multiple turnover endonuclease. According to present knowledge, the process of searching for target DNA is mainly governed by three-dimensional diffusion. Independent HS-AFM experiments show a potential long-range attractive interaction between SaCas9-sgRNA and its target DNA. The interaction precedes the formation of the stable ternary complex and is observed exclusively in the vicinity of the protospacer-adjacent motif (PAM), up to distances of several nanometers. The direct visualization of the process by sequential topographic images suggests that SaCas9-sgRNA binds to the target sequence first, while the following binding of the PAM is accompanied by local DNA bending and formation of the stable complex. Collectively, our HS-AFM data reveal a potential and unexpected behavior of SaCas9 during the search for DNA targets.

Abstract
Nucleosome dynamics, such as nucleosome sliding and DNA unwrapping, are important for gene regulation in eukaryotic chromatin. H2A.Z, a variant of histone H2A that is highly evolutionarily conserved, participates in gene regulation by forming unstable multipositioned nucleosomes in vivo and in vitro. However, the subsecond dynamics of this unstable nucleosome have not been directly visualized under physiological conditions. Here, we used high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) to directly visualize the subsecond dynamics of human H2A.Z.1-nucleosomes. HS-AFM videos show nucleosome sliding along 4 nm of DNA within 0.3 s in any direction. This sliding was also visualized in an H2A.Z.1 mutant, in which the C-terminal half was replaced by the corresponding canonical H2A amino acids, indicating that the interaction between the N-terminal region of H2A.Z.1 and the DNA is responsible for nucleosome sliding. These results may reveal the relationship between nucleosome dynamics and gene regulation by histone H2A.Z.

Abstract
Short half-lives in circulation and poor transport across the blood-brain barrier limit the utility of cytokines and growth factors acting as receptor agonists. Here we show that surrogate receptor agonists with longer half-lives in circulation and enhanced transport rates across the blood-brain barrier can be generated by genetically inserting macrocyclic peptide pharmacophores into the structural loops of the fragment crystallizable (Fc) region of a human immunoglobulin. We used such 'lasso-grafting' approach, which preserves the expression levels of the Fc region and its affinity for the neonatal Fc receptor, to generate Fc-based protein scaffolds with macrocyclic peptides binding to the receptor tyrosine protein kinase Met. The Met agonists dimerized Met, inducing biological responses that were similar to those induced by its natural ligand. Moreover, lasso-grafting of the Fc region of the mouse anti-transferrin-receptor antibody with Met-binding macrocyclic peptides enhanced the accumulation of the resulting Met agonists in brain parenchyma in mice. Lasso-grafting may allow for designer protein therapeutics with enhanced stability and pharmacokinetics.

Abstract
1. This study assessed 1) the effects of Paracoccus carotinifaciens supplementation containing high astaxanthin levels on egg production performance and quality, 2) dynamics of carotenoids levels in the egg yolk and 3) taste of astaxanthin-rich egg yolk.2. Laying hens were fed diets containing different levels of P. carotinifaciens-derived astaxanthin (ASX; 0, 2, 4, 8, or 16 ppm) for 28 d (experiment 1) or a diet containing 16 ppm astaxanthin for 28 d followed by a 0 ppm astaxanthin diet for 28 days (experiment 2).3. Production performance, egg quality and egg yolk carotenoid levels were examined in experiment 1 (Ex1) and the dynamics of egg yolk carotenoid levels and egg yolk taste in experiment 2 (Ex2).4. ASX supplementation did not affect production performance or egg quality. ASX levels in the egg yolk became saturated after seven days of 16 ppm supplementation and decreased to less than one-tenth of the saturated levels seven days after supplementation cessation. Supplementation with 16 ppm ASX for 28 d did not affect egg yolk taste.5. Supplementation resulted in the production of ASX-rich eggs for a brief period without affecting production performance, egg quality or taste. Understanding the time taken for the incorporation of ASX into egg yolks is beneficial for value-added egg production and may help in minimising supplementation costs.

Abstract
ChRmine, a recently discovered pump-like cation-conducting channelrhodopsin, exhibits puzzling properties (large photocurrents, red-shifted spectrum, and extreme light sensitivity) that have created new opportunities in optogenetics. ChRmine and its homologs function as ion channels but, by primary sequence, more closely resemble ion pump rhodopsins; mechanisms for passive channel conduction in this family have remained mysterious. Here, we present the 2.0 Å resolution cryo-EM structure of ChRmine, revealing architectural features atypical for channelrhodopsins: trimeric assembly, a short transmembrane-helix 3, a twisting extracellular-loop 1, large vestibules within the monomer, and an opening at the trimer interface. We applied this structure to design three proteins (rsChRmine and hsChRmine, conferring further red-shifted and high-speed properties, respectively, and frChRmine, combining faster and more red-shifted performance) suitable for fundamental neuroscience opportunities. These results illuminate the conduction and gating of pump-like channelrhodopsins and point the way toward further structure-guided creation of channelrhodopsins for applications across biology.

Abstract
Fast and selective recognition of molecules at the nanometer scale without labeling is a much desired but still challenging goal to achieve. Here, we show the use of high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) for real-time and real-space recognition of unlabeled membrane receptors using tips conjugated with small synthetic macrocyclic peptides. The single-molecule recognition method is validated by experiments on the human hepatocyte growth factor receptor (hMET), which selectively binds to the macrocyclic peptide aMD4. By testing and comparing aMD4 synthesized with linkers of different lengths and rigidities, we maximize the interaction between the functionalized tip and hMET added to both a mica surface and supported lipid bilayers. Phase contrast imaging by HS-AFM enables us to discriminate nonlabeled hMET against the murine MET homologue, which does not bind to aMD4. Moreover, using ligands and linkers of small size, we achieve minimal deterioration of the spatial resolution in simultaneous topographic imaging. The versatility of macrocyclic peptides in detecting unlimited types of membrane receptors with high selectivity and the fast imaging by HS-AFM broaden the range of future applications of this method for molecular recognition without labeling.

Abstract
Brain organoids with three-dimensional structure and tissue-like function are highly demanded for brain disease research and drug evaluation. However, to our knowledge, methods for measuring and analyzing brain organoid function have not been developed yet. This study focused on the frequency components of an obtained waveform below 500 Hz using planner microelectrode array (MEA) and evaluated the response to the convulsants pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) and strychnine as well as the antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) perampanel and phenytoin. Sudden and persistent seizure-like firing was observed with PTZ administration, displaying a concentration-dependent periodic activity with the frequency component enhanced even in one oscillation characteristic. On the other hand, in the administration of AEDs, the frequency of oscillation decreased in a concentration-dependent manner and the intensity of the frequency component in one oscillation also decreased. Interestingly, at low doses of phenytoin, a group of synchronized bursts was formed, which was different from the response to the perampanel. Frequency components contained information on cerebral organoid function, and MEA was proven useful in predicting the seizure liability of drugs and evaluating the effect of AEDs with a different mechanism of action. In addition, frequency component analysis of brain organoids using MEA is an important analysis method to perform in vitro to in vivo extrapolation in the future, which will help explore the function of the organoid itself, study human brain developments, and treat various brain diseases. Frequency analysis <500 Hz was performed in brain organoids coupled to planner microelectrode arrays (MEA). Concentration-dependent changes in frequency components were detected in responses to convulsants and antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). Analysis of signal components <500 Hz in brain organoids is a useful method for preclinical seizure liability assessment of drugs and screening of antiepileptic drugs.

Abstract
We report observations of gamma-ray emissions with energies in the 100-TeV energy region from the Cygnus region in our Galaxy. Two sources are significantly detected in the directions of the Cygnus OB1 and OB2 associations. Based on their positional coincidences, we associate one with a pulsar PSR J2032+4127 and the other mainly with a pulsar wind nebula PWN G75.2+0.1, with the pulsar moving away from its original birthplace situated around the centroid of the observed gamma-ray emission. This work would stimulate further studies of particle acceleration mechanisms at these gamma-ray sources.

Abstract
We report, for the first time, the long-awaited detection of diffuse gamma rays with energies between 100 TeV and 1 PeV in the Galactic disk. Particularly, all gamma rays above 398 TeV are observed apart from known TeV gamma-ray sources and compatible with expectations from the hadronic emission scenario in which gamma rays originate from the decay of π^{0}'s produced through the interaction of protons with the interstellar medium in the Galaxy. This is strong evidence that cosmic rays are accelerated beyond PeV energies in our Galaxy and spread over the Galactic disk.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Trans-radial access (TRA) has been established as a safe and established approach for invasive coronary catheter procedures. However, protocols for post-procedural hemostasis varies depending on institutes and an evidence-based protocol is lacking.
Purpose
The objective of this study was to investigate the clinical implications of procedural hemostasis.
Methods
Consecutive patients who were referred to outpatient catheter examination before and after April 2018 were treated with an old and a new protocol, respectively. In both protocols, we used the same commercially available hemostasis band with injecting an air of 16 ml for hemostasis. In the old protocol, the amount and timing of deflation were fixed, whereas the air was removed as much as possible for every 30 minutes in the new protocol. Time to complete hemostasis, the rate of major bleeding, and the rate of radial artery occlusion (RAO) at 6 months after the catheter examination were compared between the protocols.
Results
Total of 1,843 (71±10 years old, 77% male) patients was included in the study. Between patients in the old and the new protocol group (n=1,000 and 843, respectively), there was no significant difference in age, gender, body size, or systolic blood pressure. The new group had significantly higher prevalence of diabetes (47% vs 39%, p=0.002), slightly larger sheath size (4.1±0.3 vs 4.0±0.2 Fr, p<0.001), and lower rate of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT: 24% vs. 35%, p<0.001). Time for complete hemostasis was about one-third with the new protocol compared with the old protocol (65±32 vs. 190±16 min, p<0.001) and there was no major bleeding in either group. The rate of radial artery occlusion was 0.7% and 9.8% in the old and the new group (p<0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that the significant predictor of prolonged hemostasis time were the old protocol (odds ratio: OR 80.5, p<0.001) and the prescription of DAPT (OR 2.9, p<0.001), while the factors associated with higher risk of radial occlusion were the old protocol (OR 13.9, p<0.001), the number of previous TRA (OR 1.1, p<0.001), and smaller body size (OR 0.127 per 1 m2 increase p=0.005).
Conclusions
Our new protocol for hemostasis after TRA was strongly associated with shorter hemostasis time and a lower rate of radial artery occlusion. This approach will decrease the post-procedural hospital time with even fewer complication rates.

Abstract
The membrane-embedded protein rhodopsin is widely produced in organisms as a photoreceptor showing a variety of light-dependent biological functions. To investigate its molecular features, rhodopsin is often extracted from cellular membrane lipids by a suitable detergent as "micelles." The extracted protein is purified by column chromatography and then is often reconstituted into "liposomes" by removal of the detergent. The styrene-maleic acid ("SMA") copolymer spontaneously forms nanostructures containing lipids without detergent. In this study, we applied SMA to characterize two microbial rhodopsins, a thermally stable rhodopsin, Rubrobacter xylanophilus rhodopsin (RxR), and an unstable one, Halobacterium salinarum sensory rhodopsin I (HsSRI), and evaluated their physicochemical properties in SMA lipid particles compared with rhodopsins in micelles and in liposomes. Those two rhodopsins were produced in Escherichia coli cells and were successfully extracted from the membrane by the addition of SMA (5 w/v %) without losing their visible color. Analysis by dynamic light scattering revealed that RxR in SMA lipid particles (RxR-SMA) formed a discoidal structure with a diameter of 54 nm, which was 10 times smaller than RxR in phosphatidylcholine liposomes. The small particle size of RxR-SMA allowed us to obtain scattering-less visible spectra with a high signal-to-noise ratio similar to RxR in detergent micelles composed of n-dodecyl-β-D-maltoside. High-speed atomic force microscopy revealed that a single particle contained an average of 4.1 trimers of RxR (12.3 monomers). In addition, RxR-SMA showed a fast cyclic photoreaction (k = 13 s-1) comparable with RxR in phosphatidylcholine liposomes (17 s-1) but not to RxR in detergent micelles composed of n-dodecyl-β-D-maltoside (0.59 s-1). By taking advantage of SMA, we determined the dissociation constant (Kd) of chloride for HsSRI as 34 mM. From these results, we conclude that SMA is a useful molecule forming a membrane-mimicking assembly for microbial rhodopsins having the advantages of detergents and liposomes.

Abstract
We report on the highest energy photons from the Crab Nebula observed by the Tibet air shower array with the underground water-Cherenkov-type muon detector array. Based on the criterion of a muon number measured in an air shower, we successfully suppress 99.92% of the cosmic-ray background events with energies E>100 TeV. As a result, we observed 24 photonlike events with E>100 TeV against 5.5 background events, which corresponds to a 5.6σ statistical significance. This is the first detection of photons with E>100 TeV from an astrophysical source.

Abstract
Intestinal glucose absorption varies with growth; however, the dynamics of these variations has not been yet fully elucidated in broiler chickens. The present study aimed to compare jejunal glucose uptake and maltose digestion in broilers of 2 different ages, i.e., 1- vs. 5 wk old. Oral D-maltose gavage, everted sac, and Ussing chamber experiments were carried out to investigate intestinal glucose absorption and mRNA expression of glucose-transport-related genes as well as jejunal maltase activity. Upon gavage, glucose concentrations peaked at 10 min post-administration in 1-wk-old chicks, while they peaked at 40 min in 5-wk-old chickens. Glucose concentrations at 10 min were significantly higher in the 1-wk-old chicks (P = 0.010). Using the everted sacs experimental setup, 5 intestinal regions i.e., duodenum, proximal jejunum, distal jejunum, proximal ileum, and distal ileum, were targeted to examine D-maltose digestion and glucose transport across the intestinal mucosa. In the distal and proximal ileum, glucose concentrations were found to be significantly higher in the serosal compartment of the 1-wk-old chicks upon incubation with D-maltose (25 mM) (P < 0.05), while in the mucosal compartment the levels were significantly higher in the 5-wk-old chickens (P < 0.05). An Ussing chamber setup was employed to measure glucose-induced short-circuit current (ΔIsc) in the mucosal epithelium of the jejunum. In response to the addition of D-maltose (10 mM) into the mucosal compartment, ΔIsc was significantly higher in the 1-wk-old chicks (P = 0.018). Furthermore, no variations in jejunal maltase activity were observed between the 2 age groups. While jejunal glucose absorption was lower in the 5-wk-old chickens, the mRNA expression levels of jejunal SGLT1, GLUT2, and Na+/K+-ATPase did not show any significant differences between the 2 age groups. Our results suggest that the active transport of glucose across the jejunal epithelium decreases upon growth in broiler chickens but is not accompanied by any variations in maltase activity or in the expression of glucose-absorption-related genes.

Abstract
We have upgraded the new Tibet ASgamma experiment in China since 2014 to measure the chemical composition of cosmic rays around the knee. This hybrid experiment consist of an air-shower-core detector array (YAC-II) to detect high energy electromagnetic component, the Tibet air-shower array (Tibet-III) and a large underground water-Cherenkov muon-detector array (MD). We have carried out a detailed air-shower Monte Carlo (MC) simulation to study the performance of the hybrid detectors by using CORSIKA (version 7.5000), which includes EPOS-LHC, QGSJETII-04, SIBYLL2.1 and SIBYLL2.3 hadronic interaction models. The preliminary results of the interaction model checking above 50 TeV energy region are reported in this paper, and the primary proton and helium spectra in the energy range 50 TeV to 1015 eV was derived from YAC-I data and is smoothly connected with direct observation data at lower energies and also with our previously reported works at higher energies within statistical errors. The knee of the (P+He) spectra is located around 400 TeV. The interaction model dependence in deriving the primary (P+He) spectra is found to be small (less than 25% in absolute intensity, 10% in position of the knee), and the composition model dependence is less than 10% in absolute intensity.

Abstract
A hybrid experiment has been started by the ASγ experiment at Yangbajing (4300m a.s.l.) in Tibet since May 2009, that consists of a high-energy air-shower-core array (YAC-I) and a high-density air-shower array (Tibet-III). In this paper, we report our results to check the hadronic interaction models SIBYLL2.3, SIBYLL2.1, EPOS-LHC and QGSJETII-04 in the multi-tens TeV energy region using YAC-I+Tibet-III experimental data from May 2009 through January 2010. The effective live time is calculated as 106.05 days. The results show that the description of transverse momentum, inelastic cross-section and inelasticity for the 4 hadronic interaction models is consistent with YAC-I experimental data within 15% systematic errors range in the forward region below 100 TeV. Among them, the EPOS-LHC model is the best hadronic interaction model. Furthermore, we find that the H4a composition model is the best one below the 100 TeV energy region.

Abstract
We analyze the temporal variation of the solar diurnal anisotropy of the multi-TeV cosmic-ray intensity observed with the Tibet air shower array from 2000 to 2009, covering the maximum and minimum of the 23rd solar cycle. We comfirm that a remarkable additional anisotropy component is superposed on the Compton-Getting anisotropy at 4.0 TeV, while its amplitude decreases at higher energy regions. In constrast to the additional anisotropy reported by the Matsushiro experiment at 0.6 TeV, we find the residual component measured by Tibet at multi-TeV energies is consistent with being stable, with a fairly constant amplitude of 0.041% ± 0.003% and a phase at around 07.17 ± 00.16 local solar time at 4.0 TeV. This suggests the additional anisotropy observed by the Tibet experiment could result from mechanisms unrelated to solar activities.

Abstract
Thermophilic rhodopsin (TR) is a light-driven proton pump from the extreme thermophile Thermus thermophilus JL-18. Previous studies on TR solubilized with detergent showed that the protein exhibits high thermal stability and forms a trimer at room temperature but irreversibly dissociates into monomers when incubated at physiological temperature (75 °C). In the present study, we used resonance Raman (RR) spectroscopy, solid-state NMR spectroscopy, and high-speed atomic force microscopy to analyze the oligomeric structure of TR in a lipid environment. The obtained spectra and microscopic images demonstrate that TR adopts a pentameric form in a lipid environment and that this assembly is stable at the physiological temperature, in contrast to the behavior of the protein in the solubilized state. These results indicate that the thermal stability of the oligomeric assembly of TR is higher in a lipid environment than in detergent micelles. The observed RR spectra also showed that the retinal chromophore is strongly hydrogen bonded to an internal water molecule via a protonated Schiff base, which is characteristic of proton-pumping rhodopsins. The obtained data strongly suggest that TR functions in the pentameric form at physiological temperature in the extreme thermophile T. thermophilus JL-18. We utilized the high thermal stability of the monomeric form of solubilized TR and here report the first RR spectra of the monomeric form of a microbial rhodopsin. The observed RR spectra revealed that the monomerization of TR alters the chromophore structure: there are changes in the bond alternation of the polyene chain and in the hydrogen-bond strength of the protonated Schiff base. The present study revealed the high thermal stability of oligomeric assemblies of TR in the lipid environment and suggested the importance of using TR embedded in lipid membrane for elucidation of its functional mechanism.

Abstract
We analyze the Sun's shadow observed with the Tibet-III air shower array and find that the shadow's center deviates northward (southward) from the optical solar disk center in the "away" ("toward") interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) sector. By comparing with numerical simulations based on the solar magnetic field model, we find that the average IMF strength in the away (toward) sector is 1.54±0.21_{stat}±0.20_{syst} (1.62±0.15_{stat}±0.22_{syst}) times larger than the model prediction. These demonstrate that the observed Sun's shadow is a useful tool for the quantitative evaluation of the average solar magnetic field.

Abstract
We present possible observing scenarios for the Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA gravitational-wave detectors over the next decade, with the intention of providing information to the astronomy community to facilitate planning for multi-messenger astronomy with gravitational waves. We estimate the sensitivity of the network to transient gravitational-wave signals, and study the capability of the network to determine the sky location of the source. We report our findings for gravitational-wave transients, with particular focus on gravitational-wave signals from the inspiral of binary neutron star systems, which are the most promising targets for multi-messenger astronomy. The ability to localize the sources of the detected signals depends on the geographical distribution of the detectors and their relative sensitivity, and [Formula: see text] credible regions can be as large as thousands of square degrees when only two sensitive detectors are operational. Determining the sky position of a significant fraction of detected signals to areas of 5-[Formula: see text] requires at least three detectors of sensitivity within a factor of [Formula: see text] of each other and with a broad frequency bandwidth. When all detectors, including KAGRA and the third LIGO detector in India, reach design sensitivity, a significant fraction of gravitational-wave signals will be localized to a few square degrees by gravitational-wave observations alone.

Abstract
The CRISPR-associated endonuclease Cas9 binds to a guide RNA and cleaves double-stranded DNA with a sequence complementary to the RNA guide. The Cas9-RNA system has been harnessed for numerous applications, such as genome editing. Here we use high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) to visualize the real-space and real-time dynamics of CRISPR-Cas9 in action. HS-AFM movies indicate that, whereas apo-Cas9 adopts unexpected flexible conformations, Cas9-RNA forms a stable bilobed structure and interrogates target sites on the DNA by three-dimensional diffusion. These movies also provide real-time visualization of the Cas9-mediated DNA cleavage process. Notably, the Cas9 HNH nuclease domain fluctuates upon DNA binding, and subsequently adopts an active conformation, where the HNH active site is docked at the cleavage site in the target DNA. Collectively, our HS-AFM data extend our understanding of the action mechanism of CRISPR-Cas9.

Abstract
Direct imaging of morphological dynamics of live mammalian cells with nanometer resolution under physiological conditions is highly expected, but yet challenging. High-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) is a unique technique for capturing biomolecules at work under near physiological conditions. However, application of HS-AFM for imaging of live mammalian cells was hard to be accomplished because of collision between a huge mammalian cell and a cantilever during AFM scanning. Here, we review our recent improvements of HS-AFM for imaging of activities of live mammalian cells without significant damage to the cell. The improvement of an extremely long (~3 μm) AFM tip attached to a cantilever enables us to reduce severe damage to soft mammalian cells. In addition, a combination of HS-AFM with simple fluorescence microscopy allows us to quickly locate the cell in the AFM scanning area. After these improvements, we demonstrate that developed HS-AFM for live mammalian cells is possible to image morphogenesis of filopodia, membrane ruffles, pits open-close formations, and endocytosis in COS-7, HeLa cells as well as hippocampal neurons.

Abstract
Light-driven outward H+ pumps are widely distributed in nature, converting sunlight energy into proton motive force. Here we report the characterization of an oppositely directed H+ pump with a similar architecture to outward pumps. A deep-ocean marine bacterium, Parvularcula oceani, contains three rhodopsins, one of which functions as a light-driven inward H+ pump when expressed in Escherichia coli and mouse neural cells. Detailed mechanistic analyses of the purified proteins reveal that small differences in the interactions established at the active centre determine the direction of primary H+ transfer. Outward H+ pumps establish strong electrostatic interactions between the primary H+ donor and the extracellular acceptor. In the inward H+ pump these electrostatic interactions are weaker, inducing a more relaxed chromophore structure that leads to the long-distance transfer of H+ to the cytoplasmic side. These results demonstrate an elaborate molecular design to control the direction of H+ transfers in proteins.

Abstract
For years, HCs with zero ODP and low GWP have been used as alternative B.A. (blowing agents) in the appliance industries. The improvement of insulation performance and lowering costs are significant factors in the development of R-PU (rigid polyurethane) foams especially blown with HCs. The development of R-PU foam with a lower density for cost effectiveness is progressing at present. Positive experiences as to the long-term dimensional stability of pentane blown R-PU foam accelerated this movement. The most important factor in the development of R-PU foam with a lower density is long-term dimensional stability. In this report, we propose a novel long-term dimensional stability test and its appropriateness is discussed. The influence of formulation and the boiling point (B.P.) of B.A. on long-term dimensional stability have also been studied. The use of a blowing agent mixture of cyclopentane and iso- or n-pentane with a lower B.P. allowed the achievement of density savings. The understanding of the relation between the formulation and long-term dimensional stability is an important issue for the development of R-PU foam.

Abstract
We present the MR and histopathologic findings of fibrolipomatous hamartoma (FLH) of the ulnar nerve in a 54-year-old woman, a lipomatous process that rarely affects the ulnar nerve. The case illustrated is further unusual as a local soft tissue recurrent mass developed over a remarkably long course of the disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the effects of IL-17 on IL-6, IL-1β, and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-1) production, and to compare the MMP-1 production between the individual and combined effects of IL-1β and IL-6 in human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (HPDLF). MATERIALS AND METHODS Human periodontal ligament fibroblasts were cultured with IL-17 for 0.5, 1, 4, 24, 48, and 72 h, and were cultured with IL-1β, IL-6/sIL-6R, or a combination of IL-1β and IL-6/sIL-6R for 24 h. To measure the mRNA levels of IL-6, IL-1β, and MMP-1, total RNA was extracted from the cultured HPDLF, and a real-time PCR analysis was performed. The protein levels of IL-6, IL-1β, and MMP-1 in supernatants were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs). RESULTS IL-17 significantly increased the expression of IL-6 and MMP-1 mRNA and protein, while IL-17 transiently increased the expression of IL-1β mRNA. The combination of IL-1β and IL-6/sIL-6R induced significantly higher levels of MMP-1 protein than IL-1β alone. CONCLUSIONS IL-17 upregulated the production of IL-6 and MMP-1 sequentially in HPDLF. IL-6/sIL-6R may enhance the effects of IL-1β on MMP-1 production. The present results suggest that IL-17 induces MMP-1 production not only directly, but also indirectly by promoting IL-6 production, thus resulting in the degradation of collagens in the PDL.
