Light responses of cone- and rod-driven horizontal cells were recorded intracellularly from opened eyes of intact, immobilized carp and the effects of prolonged darkness on these cells were examined. When the retina was left in the dark, responses of cone horizontal cells to a moderate test flash presented once every 10 min gradually and steadily decreased in size (dark suppression effect). Fol...

Abstract This study analyzed fabric drapability in one, two, and three dimensions to provide an assessment method reflecting real conditions. One-dimensional analysis of involved observing the movement by reciprocating motion. The appeared differently depending on characteristics, shape location node showed differently, which were considered be influenced weight sample along with drape coeffici...

Abstract We present a new connection between the classical theory of full and truncated moment problems partial differential equations, as follows. For heat equation $\partial _t u = {\nu } \Delta u$, with initial data $u_0 \in {\mathcal {S}}(\mathds {R}^n)$, we first compute moments $s_{\alpha }(t)$ unique solution $u {R}^n)$. These are polynomials in time variable, degree comparable to $\alph...

The anti-Compton phoswich (ACP) detector, which is composed of multiple scintillators with one photomultiplier tube, takes into account the Compton suppression function and portability, therefore, a discussion on how to design its shape improve performance detector has become necessary. Based an ACP using well-typed LaBr3:Ce/NaI:Tl composite scintillator that been developed in laboratory early ...

We consider 1+1-dimensional QCD coupled to Majorana fermions in the adjoint representation of the gauge group SU(N). Pair creation of partons (fermion quanta) is not suppressed in the large-N limit, where the glueball-like bound states become free. In this limit the spectrum is given by a linear light-cone Schrödinger equation, which we study numerically using the discretized light-cone quantiz...

Benzocaine is a local anesthetic used for different pain treatments. Including it in various cyclodextrins one can increase the solubility of this drug. Several inclusion compounds of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) with benzocaine, prepared by kneading and coprecipitation methods, were investigated. In order to understand the inclusion process mechanisms FT IR spectroscopic investigation and molecular m...

Image reconstruction is a key step in tomographic medical imaging. Roughly speaking, the image reconstruction methods can be classified into analytical methods and iterative (or algebraic) methods. In this presentation, we review advances on the analytical image reconstruction methods since 1990. In particular, we pick up the following two important reconstruction problems. The first topic is t...

Neuralized (neur) is a neurogenic mutant of Drosophila in which many signaling events mediated by the Notch (N) receptor are disrupted. Here, we analyze the role of neur during eye development. Neur is required in a cell-autonomous fashion to restrict R8 and other photoreceptor fates and is involved in lateral inhibition of interommatidial bristles but is not required for induction of the cone ...

We compute the asymptotical growth rate of a large family of Uq.sl2/ 6j –symbols and we interpret our results in geometric terms by relating them to volumes of hyperbolic truncated tetrahedra. We address a question which is strictly related with S Gukov’s generalized volume conjecture and deals with the case of hyperbolic links in connected sums of S S . We answer this question for the infinite...
