Some Researches on Histones

The histone extracted from calf thymus glands is a complex system of proteins, which can be fractionated by chromatography on carboxymethyl cellulose columns into three principal fractions (1) very lysine-rich, (2) moderately lysine-rich, (3) arginine-rich. When examined by starch gel chromatography each of these gives more than one band. Methods have been devised for further separation of the ...

Researches on Ingeniously Behaving Agents

We have been studying the techniques for evolutionary robotics and experimenting with various robots applied evolutionary methods. We have paid special attentions to real robots and multi-agent problems with them. In this research domain, we named them as “Ingeniously Behaving Agents (IBA)”. This paper shows several techniques developed in our IBA laboratory and their experimental results appli...

Recent German Researches on Malaria

The etiology of malaria is a study of paramount importance to the practitioner of tropical medicine. In different regions, the intensity of the poison may, to some degree, vary ; but in India, from Karachi to Sudia and Sirhind to Cape Comoriu, malaria is the cause of a greater total of sickness than perhaps all other diseases combined. Few of its inhabitants get through twelve months without au...

Size effects on the nanomechanical properties of cellulose I nanocrystals

The ultimate properties of a fibrous composite system depend highly on the transverse mechanical properties of the fibers. Here, we report the size dependency of transverse elastic modulus in cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). In addition, the mechanical properties of CNCs prepared from wood and cotton resources were investigated. Nanoindentation in an atomic force microscope (AFM) was used in comb...
