To solve the situation, we experimentally annotated a short poem of AinuwithUniversal Dependencies version 2 scheme. In this paper, we report several language-specific suggestions...

Ultrastructure and histochemistry of the submandibular gland of the Japanese wood mouse (Apodemus ainu ainu Tokuda).

The submandibular glands of adult female and male Japanese wood mice (Apodemus ainu ainu Tokuda) were studied histochemically using toluidine blue (pH 2.5, 4.1 and 7.0, McIlvaine), PAS reaction, Millon's reaction for tyrosine, p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde for tryptophan, and substrate film techniques for amylase and protease. The glands were also examined ultrastructurally and ultracytochemicall...

Clinical studies on progressive retinal atrophy in 31 dogs
