We study Josephson currents between $s$-wave/spin-triplet superconductor junctions by taking into account details of the band structures in ${\mathrm{Sr}}_{2}{\mathrm{RuO}}_{4}$, such as three conduction bands and spin-orbit interactions in the bulk and at the interface. We assume five superconducting order parameters…

ABSTRACT Oxidative conditions of the eye could contribute to retinal cells loss through activating the Fas‐L/Fas pathway. This phenomenon is one of the leading causes of some ocular diseases like age‐related macular degeneration (AMD). By targeting proteins at their mRNA level, microRNAs (miRNAs) can regulate gene exp…
