We investigated the high-temperature thermoelectric properties of Cu1–xInTe2 (x = 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2) at 310–710 K. The electrical properties of this system were optimized by the presence of substoichiometric amounts of copper and additional phonon scattering by lattice defects and a secondary phase reduced the thermal conductivity of the system. The samples of Cu1–xInTe2 (x = 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2) all had dimensionless figures of merit in excess of 0.5 at 710 K with a maximum value of 0.54 for x = 0.1.

GM2 gangliosidoses, including Tay-Sachs disease, Sandhoff disease and the AB variant, comprise deficiencies of β-hexosaminidase isozymes and GM2 ganglioside activator protein associated with accumulation of GM2 ganglioside (GM2) in lysosomes and neurosomatic clinical manifestations. A simple assay system for intracellular quantification of GM2 is required to evaluate the therapeutic effects on GM2-gangliosidoses. We newly established a cell–ELISA system involving anti-GM2 monoclonal antibodies for ...

Sandhoff disease (SD) is an autosomal recessive GM2 gangliosidosis caused by the defect of lysosomal β-hexosaminidase (Hex) β-subunit gene associated with neurosomatic manifestations. Therapeutic effects of Hex subunit gene transduction have been examined on Sandhoff disease model mice (SD mice) produced by the allelic disruption of Hexb gene encoding the murine β-subunit. We demonstrate here that elimination of GM2 ganglioside (GM2) accumulated in the fibroblastic cell line derived from SD mice (FSD) ...

The effect of oxide shape on magnetic properties of semiprocessed nonoriented electrical steel sheets produced by single reduction cold rolling process was studied. When oxides in steel sheets were elongated inclusions which were prescribed as B type by JIS, the oxides inhibited grain growth during consumer annealing and average grain size became small. As a result, core loss was bad. When oxides were spherical inclusions which were prescribed as C type by JIS, the oxides did not inhibit grain growth ...

PACE4 has been identified as a second human subtilisin-like protease by Keifer et al. [DNA and Cell Biology (1991) 10, 757-769]. In this study, we isolated two novel cDNAs coding for PACE4 isoforms (PACE4C and PACE4D) from a human placenta cDNA library. The deduced PACE4C protein sequence (652 amino acids) lacks the cysteine-rich region located at the carboxy terminus of PACE4. The DNA sequence of the 3′-untranslated region (1 kb) of PACE4C is not homologous to the PACE4 sequence. The protein (497 amino ...

By polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with primers corresponding to the sequences of catalytic domain conserved among the mammalian kexin-like protease family, a cDNA fragment encoding a novel member of the family was obtained from rat pituitary. A cDNA for the novel protease was obtained from three overlapping clones isolated from a rat pituitary cDNA library using the PCR product as a screening probe. The protein, designated as PC7, encoded by this cDNA contained a putative activation site with the ...

A theoretical and experimental study was conducted to investigate the critical condition at which a liquid drop slides down on an inclined plate. When the drop starts to slide down, it is suggested that the advancing and receding contact angle may appear on the circumference of the contact area of drop on the plate. The critical condition can be obtained from the force balance in the same way as the classical theory. In order to verify the validity of the condition, the occurrence of the sliding ...

Brain- and testis-specific immunoglobulin superfamily (BT-IgSF) (also known as IgSF11), one of the immunoglobulin superfamily proteins, is a cell adhesion molecule, expressed in the developing cerebellum. We hypothesized that BT-IgSF might have some function in the development of cerebellum, although the physiological roles of BT-IgSF in the cerebellum remain unclear. To investigate the role of BT-IgSF in the development of mouse cerebellum, we first determined the presence of BT-IgSF in the newborn ...

Adipose differentiation-related protein (ADRP) is an intrinsic lipid storage protein found in lipid droplets of different type of cells. ADRP has been recognized to be a specific marker of lipid accumulation and a marker of differentiated adipocytes. The purpose of this study was to determine whether ADRP was present in the cells of the meibomian gland. The expression of the mRNA of ADRP was determined by RT-PCR and Northern blot analysis of the meibomian gland and other rat tissues. A newly generated ...

We prepared and investigated the thermoelectric properties of Cu 0.4 InTe 2 at 310–710 K. The crystal structure of Cu 0.4 InTe 2 was identical to that of CuIn 3 Te 5 , namely a tetragonal structure, space group P 4̄2 c , known as an ordered defect chalcopyrite. This structure is different from that of CuInTe 2 , which has a normal chalcopyrite structure. In comparison with CuInTe 2 , Cu 0.4 InTe 2 showed inferior thermoelectric properties because a degradation in its electrical conductivity outweighed a ...

Here, we investigated the transcriptional profile of A. limacinum under light conditions.Transcriptomic analyses revealed that 962 genes of A. limacinum showed a significant change in expression under light conditions, most of which (94.5%) were downregulated. Furthermore, gene ontology enrichment ...

The sliding angle of liquid drops on inclined plates were investigated in order to evaluate the characteristics of SAMs (Self-Assembled Monolayers) surfaces. The contact angles and sliding angles for two kinds of test liquids, i.e., BCA and Ethylene glycol, were measured on 4 kinds of SAMs surfaces made by the immersion method with different immersion times. The contact angle hysteresis became minimum on the standard film, i.e., the most homogeneous surface. The experimental sliding angles φ agreed ...

Abstract This theoretical and experimental study was conducted to investigate the critical condition at which a liquid droplet starts to move on a rotating disk. The critical rotational speed ω was theoretically calculated based on the force balance between the surface tension and the centrifugal force, where ω was experimentally measured for each combination between three kinds of test plates and test liquids. The movements of droplets were judged from the careful observation of infinitesimal motion ...

Fluorite-type CeO2 nanorods were synthesized from aqueous CeCl3 solutions containing polyethylene glycol, NaOH, and NaCl. The solutions were hydrothermally treated at 140°C, resulting in the formation of nanorod-like precipitates. Further annealing of the precipitates led to the growth into well-defined nanorods 5-10 nm in diameter and 50-200 nm in length. It was found that the addition of NaCl to the solution could enhance the one-dimensional growth of CeO2 and reduce the degree of aggregation. ...

Background: Comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation (CCR) has demonstrated favorable effects for recently hospitalized chronic heart failure (CHF) patients. However, currently proposed CCR models are not acceptable for many CHF patients, because they live in remote geographic location, have difficulty in transportation, or do not have the sufficient financial resources to pay for an outpatient program. Whereas, home-based programs have been reported to be equally effective as center-based programs. Moreover, ...
