[1] We constrain SH wave velocity structures near the 660-km discontinuity beneath South America and northeast Asia, using triplicated phases near the discontinuity recorded in the epicentral distance range of 10 –35 for three deep events. We then explore mineralogical and compositional models appropriate for explaining the inferred seismic structures between the two regions. SH velocity struct...

Glutinous rice is a major type of cultivated rice with long-standing cultural importance in Asia. A mutation in an intron 1 splice donor site of the Waxy gene is responsible for the change in endosperm starch leading to the glutinous phenotype. Here we examine an allele genealogy of the Waxy locus to trace the evolutionary and geographical origins of this phenotype. On the basis of 105 glutinou...

Twenty-five chipmunk species occur in the world, of which only the Siberian chipmunk, Tamias sibiricus, inhabits Asia. To investigate mitochondrial cytochrome b sequence variations and population structure of the Siberian chipmunk in northeastern Asia, we examined mitochondrial cytochrome b sequences (1140 bp) from 3 countries. Analyses of 41 individuals from South Korea and 33 individuals from...

Brugia malayi is one of the parasitic worms which causes lymphatic filariasis in humans. Its geographical distribution includes a large part of Asia. Despite its wide distribution, very little is known about the genetic variation and molecular epidemiology of this species. In this study, the internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) nucleotide sequences of B. malayi from microfilaria-positive human ...

Abstract This article is a response to Timo Kivimaki’s important about peace in East Asia. The focuses on Northeast Asia’s structural configurations (i.e., economic interdependence and deterrence systems) contributing essentially argues when it comes down Asia, two subregions of namely Asia Southeast must be analyzed recognize different subregions’ orders affecting as whole.
