[1] Atmospheric distributions of carbonaceous aerosols are simulated using the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory SKYHI general circulation model (GCM) (latitude-longitude resolution of 3 3.6 ). A number of systematic analyses are conducted to investigate the seasonal and interannual variability of the concentrations at specific locations and to investigate the sensitivity of the distributio...

So-called D-neuron (trace amine (TA) neuron) is the ligand neuron of trace amine-associated receptor, type 1 (TAAR1). Reduced stimulation of TAAR1 on dopamine (DA) neurons in the midbrain ventral tegmental area (VTA) has been revealed to increase firing frequency of VTA DA neurons. A Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT)-required histochemical methods (K. Ikemoto) were used to specify subgroups of D-...

Forests are important ecosystems that provide many ecosystem services. To humans, they an resource for food, firewood and timber (Jang et al., 2019). represent rich natural pharmacies containing species with known or potential medicinal nutritional value (Karjalainen 2009). In addition, harbour enormous number of different organisms, from microbes to large mammals (Barlow 2018). This is particu...

Scab, caused by Cladosporium cucumerinum Ell. et Arthur, is a prevalent disease of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) worldwide. Scab can cause serious losses for cucumber production, especially in protected culture such as high tunnel production. Resistance to cucumber scab is dominant and is controlled by a single gene, Ccu. Breeding for resistant cultivars is the most efficient way to control the...

Previous researches have examined the emission and management of heavy metals from municipal solid waste incinerations for compliances with regulations, and also, to address the concerns on various environmental issues. However, the size distribution of heavy metals in bottom ash has not been addressed to such extent yet. This study investigated the size distribution of bottom ash and also the ...

A parametric study of the buckling behavior of infinitely long symmetrically laminated anisotropic plates that are subjected to linearly varying edge loads, uniform shear loads, or combinations of these loads is presented. The study focuses on the effects of the shape of linearly varying edge load distribution, plate orthotropy, and plate flexural anisotropy on plate buckling behavior. In addit...

Chronostratigraphic data available for the preliminary age model for the upper 700 m for the AND-1B drill core include diatom biostratigraphy, magnetostratigraphy, 40Ar/39Ar ages on volcanic material, 87Sr/86Sr ages on calcareous fossil material, and surfaces of erosion identifi ed from physical appearance and facies relationships recognised in the AND-1B drill core. The available age data allo...

Oxygen transport in phosphatidylcholinecholesterol membranes has been studied by observing the collision of molecular oxygen with nitroxide radical spin labels placed at various distances from the membrane surface using long-pulse saturation recovery ESR techniques. The collision rate was estimated for tempocholine phosphatidic acid ester, 5-doxylstearic acid, and 16-doxylstearic acid from spin...
