The foraging activity rhythm of the Grey Heron was observed in Ashizaki Bay, an estuarine habitat, and at Mawarizeki Reservoir, a non-tidal habitat, both in Aomori Prefecture. In Ashizaki Bay, herons foraged while the water level was low, although the tidal range was about 70 cm on spring tide. Herons foraged also during the nighttime low tide. In non-tidal habitat, on the other hand, they foraged constantly throughout the daytime. Herons foraged on fish using "walking slowly" tactics in Ashizaki ...

There is evidence to suggest that integrity of the neurovascular unit may be compromised in acute liver failure (ALF). In order to address this issue from a molecular standpoint, expression of an array of genes coding for key cerebrovascular endothelial cell and tight junction proteins were measured by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction in cerebral cortex of rats with ischemic liver failure resulting from hepatic devascularization (portacaval anastomosis followed 24 h later by hepatic ...

Minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS) usually is considered to have a good renal prognosis, but the frequency of relapses is a therapeutic challenge to physicians. The treatment of patients with multiple relapses remains a matter of controversy, because few controlled studies are available. We report the case of a 25-year-old man who experienced relapses of MCNS. Single-dose rituximab therapy (total dose 500 mg) was given during the fourth relapse. Complete remission occurred 10 days later, when ...

Growth kinetics of native oxide on Si(111) surfaces treated in pH-modified buffered HF (BHF) solutions has been systematically studied by angle-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. A BHF-etched (pH=5.3) Si(111) surface has no Si-F bonds and dose not oxidize for 300 min in clean room air. FT-IR-attenuated total reflection (ATR) measurements of Si-H bonds existing on the BHF-treated Si(111) surface have revealed that the surface is nearly step-free and atomically flat. This explains the chemical ...

Hydrogen-terminated Si(111) and Si(100) surfaces obtained by aqueous HF or pH-modified (pH=5.3) buffered-HF (BHF) treatments have been characterized by a Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) attenuated-total-reflection (ATR) technique. The BHF treatment provides better surface flatness than the HF treatment. Pure water rinse is effective for improving the Si(111) surface flatness, while this is not the case for Si(100) because the pure water acts as an alkaline etchant and promotes the formation of (111) ...

Somatic embryogenesis in Chamaecyparis pisifera was initiated from immature seeds collected from the end of June to early July. We obtained initiation frequencies ranging from 12.5 to 33.3% using whole seed explants in liquid media. Embryogenic cultures were maintained and proliferated for more than a year in solid and liquid media. High maturation frequencies of "high quality" embryos were obtained on maturation media containing abscisic acid (ABA), activated charcoal (AC), and polyethylene glycol ( ...

Mass propagation through adventitious shoot bud production from somatic embryo culture on Woody Plant (WP) medium and artificial seed production using sodium alginate was achieved. A high bud forming index value (25.8) was obtained on medium supplemented with 1μM 6-benzylaminopurine. The conversion rates from artificial seeds under aseptic and nonaseptic conditions ...
