The Southern Ocean, an important region for the uptake of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2), features strong surface currents due to substantial mesoscale meanders and eddies. These interact with wind modify momentum transfer from atmosphere ocean. Although such interactions are known reduce transfer, their impact on air-sea exchange remains unclear. Using a 1/20° physical-biogeochemical coupl...

In this paper, we present a new method to analyze unordered n-grams by using ZBDDs (Zero-suppressed BDDs). n-grams have been used not only for text analysis but also for text indexing in some search engines. We newly use a variation of n-grams called unordered n-grams. Unordered n-grams abstract from the position of the characters in each n-gram, i.e., they just deal with the range of ordinary ...

The first principles momentum dependent local ansatz wavefunction method (MLA) has been extended to the ferromagnetic state by introducing spin-dependent variational parameters. theory is applied Fe, Co, and Ni. It shown that MLA yields magnetizations being comparable results obtained GGA (generalized gradient approximation) in density functional theory. projected distribution functions as well...

Co-chaperonins from diverse organisms exhibit mobile loops which fold into a beta hairpin conformation upon binding to the chaperonin. GroES, Gp31, and human Hsp10 mobile loops exhibit a preference for the beta hairpin conformation in the free co-chaperonins, and the conformational dynamics of the human Hsp10 mobile loop appear to be restricted by nascent hairpin formation. Backbone conformatio...

CONSTANS (CO) promotes flowering of Arabidopsis in response to long photoperiods. Transgenic plants carrying CO fused with the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter (35S::CO) flowered earlier than did the wild type and were almost completely insensitive to length of day. Genes required for CO to promote flowering were identified by screening for mutations that suppress the effect of 35S::CO. Fo...

Carbon monoxide (CO) has attracted attention as a possible therapeutic agent for affecting anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. Previously, CO-bound hemoglobin vesicle (CO-HbV) was developed as a nanotechnology-based CO donor, and its safety profile and therapeutic potential as a clinically applicable carrier of CO were examined in vitro and in vivo. In the present study, the therapeut...
