In this paper we present geometric features of group based phylogenetic models. We address a long standing problem of determining the ideal of the claw tree [SS05], [DK09]. We focus on the 3-Kimura model. In particular we present a precise geometric description of the variety associated to any tree on a Zariski open set. This set contains all biologically meaningful points. The result confirms ...

Kimura diffusions serve as a stochastic model for the evolution of gene frequencies in population genetics. Their infinitesimal generator is an elliptic differential operator whose second-order coefficients matrix degenerates on the boundary of the domain. In this article, we consider the inhomogeneous initial-value problem defined by generators of Kimura diffusions, and we establish C-estimate...

A new genus Nipponoluciola Ballantyne, Kawashima, Jusoh & Suzuki is proposed and described from males, females larvae for two species of Japanese fireflies (Coleoptera, Lampyridae, Luciolinae) which have aquatic larvae. The famous Genji-botaru, the Genji firefly, formerly Luciola cruciata Motschulsky, 1854, now stands under (Motschulsky) gen. et. comb. nov. It that original designation ...

REPORTS on intra-orbital tumours and causes of exophthalmos do not mention the disease entity ofeosinophilic granuloma first described by Lichtenstein and Jaffe (1940). Pfeiffer (1943), in reviewing 200 successive cases of exophthalmos, enumerated 31 different lesions, among which eosinophilic granuloma of the orbit was not listed. Forest (1949) reported on 222 cases of intra-orbital tumours co...

The UK Refractory Asthma Stratification Programme (RASP-UK) will explore novel biomarker stratification strategies in severe asthma to improve clinical management and accelerate development of new therapies. Prior asthma mechanistic studies have not stratified on inflammatory phenotype and the understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms in asthma without Type 2 cytokine inflammation is limit...

Eosinophilic fasciitis is an uncommon entity characterized by edema, skin thickening and hyperpigmentation of extremities. Laboratory findings are variable and may include hypergammaglobulemia, peripheral eosinophilia and elevated acute phase reactants. A full-thickness skin/fascia/muscle biopsy is the gold standart for diagnosis. Since EF is an uncommon disorder and the clinic presentation mim...

Airway eosinophilia and cough may be associated with asthma and with non-asthmatic eosinophilic bronchitis. Whether cough variant asthma and eosinophilic bronchitis are distinct entities or a pathophysiological spectrum needs further examination.

  As I was deeply interested in the effects of drugs on the human body, I chose pharmacology as the subject of special study when I became a 4th year student at Shizuoka College of Pharmacy. I studied abroad as a postdoctoral fellow for two years, from 1978, under the tutelage of Professor Henry I. Yamamura (pharmacology) in the College of Medicine at the University of Arizona, USA. He taught m...
