In this paper we will introduce an ensemble of codes called irregular repeat-accumulate (IRA)
codes. IRA codes are a generalization of the repeat-accumluate codes introduced in [1], …

Background A vaccine against COVID-19 is urgently needed for older adults, in whom
morbidity and mortality due to the disease are increased. We aimed to assess the safety, …

In this paper we discuss AWGN coding theorems for ensembles of coding systems which are
built from fixed convolutional codes interconnected with random interleavers. We call these …

Background Sepsis is a life-threatening disease syndrome caused by a dysregulated host
response to infection and injury. Extracellular cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (eCIRP) …

Background A vaccine for enterovirus 71 (EV71) is needed to address the high burden of
disease associated with infection. We assessed the efficacy, safety, immunogenicity, antibody …

A male zebra finch learns a song by listening to a tutor, but song learning is normally restricted
to a critical period in juvenile development. Here we identify an RNA whose expression in …

We aimed to estimate the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine acceptance rate and
identify predictors associated with acceptance. To this end, we searched PubMed, Web of …

The development of organic solar cells (OSCs) with thick active layers is of crucial importance
for the roll-to-roll printing of large-area solar panels. Unfortunately, increasing the active …

Objective Hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) has been reported to be a gasotransmitter which
regulates cardiovascular homeostasis. The present study aims to examine the hypothesis that …

Antibodies against the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein
prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, the effects of antibodies against other spike protein …
