The aphid genus Tinocallis Matsumura, 1919 (Hemiptera: Aphididae: Calaphidinae) in central and northern Europe is reviewed; it includes four species. The first records of the Asian elm aphid Tinocallis takachihoensis Higuchi, 1972 are reported from the Czech Republic, Denmark, and Poland. The record in Denmark is the first in Scandinavia. Alate viviparous females and nymphs of T. takachihoensis...

Twenty years ago, the field of ancient DNA was launched with the publication of two short mitochondrial (mt) DNA sequences from a single quagga (Equus quagga) museum skin, an extinct South African equid (Higuchi et al. 1984 Nature312, 282-284). This was the first extinct species from which genetic information was retrieved. The DNA sequences of the quagga showed that it was more closely related...

Acute respiratory infection (ARI) is a that causes disruption of normal activities. Amoxicillin the antibiotic first choice generally given to patients with ARI. Compliance in use antibiotics for less than five days will determine success therapy so frequency drug also affects patient compliance taking medication. Granule mucoadhesive amoxicillin trihydrate formula designed addition chitosan po...

This paper compares the correlation dimension (D2) ,Higuchi fractal dimension (HFD),Katz fractal dimension(KFD)and Sevcik fractal dimension(SFD) approaches in estimating Depth of Anesthesia (DOA) based on of electroencephalogram (EEG). The single-channel EEG data was captured in both ICU and operating room and different anesthetic drugs, including propofol and isoflurane were used. For better a...

Statistical comparison of dissolution profiles under a variety of conditions relating to formulation characteristics, lot-to-lot, and brand-to-brand variation attracts interest of pharmaceutical scientist. The objective of this work is to apply several profile comparison approaches to the dissolution data of five-marketed aceclofenac tablet formulations. Model-independent approaches including A...

FOR STABILIZING IN VIVO REAL-TIME FLUORESCENCE IMAGING OF TRANSPLANTED CELLS IN LIVE ANIMALS K. Shimizu 1,2 , Y. Higuchi 1,3 , Y. Kozu 1 , M. Hashida 1 , S. Konishi 1,2 * 1 Kyoto University, JAPAN, 2 Ritsumeikan University, JAPAN and 3 PREST, JST, JAPAN ABSTRACT We report a novel technique of in vivo real-time fluorescent imaging of transplanted cells for small laboratory animals. A PDMS-based ...

The aim of this study is to develop a once-daily sustained release matrix tablet of ibuprofen using hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) as release controlling factor and to evaluate drug release parameters as per various release kinetic models. In order to achieve required sustained release profile tablets were directly compressed using Avicel pH 101 and Magnesium stearate. The formulated tabl...

In this paper we analyse a wavelet based method for the estimation of the Hurst parameter of syntheticallygenerated self-similar traces, widely used in a great variety of applications, ranging from computer graphics to parsimonious traffic modelling in broadband networks. The aim of this work is to point out the efficiency of multiresolution schemes in the analysis of fractal processes, charact...
