For speech translation to be practical and useful, speech translation systems should be portable to multiple languages without substantial modi cation. We present the results of expanding the English-based JANUS speech translation system [1] to translate from spoken German sentences to English and Japanese utterances. We also report the results of implementing part of the LPNN speech recognitio...

By combining the specific molecular recognition capability of MIPs and the asymmetric structure of Janus particles, the Janus MIP particles which were synthesized via a wax-water Pickering emulsion showed attractive capabilities as self-propelled transporters for controlled drug delivery.

The chromatoid body in the spermatogenesis of the grass-snake, Natrix natrix, has been studied by the use of phase-contrast microscopy, vital dyes, and histochemical tests. It first appears during the growth of the primary spermatocyte and is also seen in the secondary spermatocyte and late spermatid, but is absent at metaphases of both the maturation divisions, in the early spermatid, and duri...

This paper reports a new simple, sensitive and selective catalytic kinetic spectrophotometric method for the determination of trace quantities of Os(VIII). Janus Green is oxidized by hydrogen peroxide in borate buffer at pH 9.0 and Os(VIII) catalyzes the reaction. Reaction rate was monitored spectrophotometrically at 618 nm. The calibration graph is linear for 0.4 – 430.0 ng mL-1 of Os(VIII) an...

Laser micro-irradiation of cell inclusions has become a useful method in cell biology (1). A pulsed ruby laser microbeam system has been successfully used to study morphological and functional relationships within mitochondria of tissue culture cells vitally stained with Janus green B (2-6) . Recently, an argon ion gas laser microbeam has been used to place lesions on mitotic chromosomes of sal...

The diffusion of a Janus rod-shaped nanoparticle in a dense Lennard-Jones fluid is studied using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The Janus particle is modeled as a rigid cylinder whose atoms at each end have different interaction energies with fluid molecules, thus comprising wetting and nonwetting surfaces. We found that both rotational and translational diffusion coefficients are larger ...

We show the existence of a novel type of interstitial cell-telocytes (TC) in mouse trachea and lungs. We used cell cultures, vital stainings, as well as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Phase contrast microscopy on cultured cells showed cells with unequivocally characteristic morphology of typical TC (cells with telopodes...

Janus nanoparticles were prepared by interfacial ligand-exchange reactions of hexanethiolate-protected gold (AuC6) nanoparticles with 3-mercapto-1,2-propanediol (MPD) at the air|water interface. As nanoscale analogues to conventional amphiphilic molecules, the resulting Janus nanoparticles were found to form oil-in-water micelle-like or water-in-oil reverse micelle-like superparticulate structu...

Mitochondrm are important in ion transport, as has been shown in recent biochemical studies. For e~ample, Stanbury and Mudge have shown that isolated mitochondria are capable of maintaining high concentrations of potassium when suspended in potassium poor solutions (7), and Bartley and Davies have shown that isolated mitochondria can take up cations from the surrounding solution against a conce...
