It was demonstrated by BAKER(1958,1959)that a large fraction of 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT)in duodenal mucosa was present in intracellular store granuels denser than the mitochondria.On the other hand,WHITTAKER(1959) reported that the brain 5-HT was chiefly found as a bound form in subcellular fractions less dense than the typical mitochondrial one,suggesting the difference between the brain and ...

We present an improved lattice Boltzmann model for high-speed compressible flows. The model is composed of a discrete-velocity model by Kataoka and Tsutahara [Phys. Rev. E 69, 056702 (2004)] and an appropriate finite-difference scheme combined with an additional dissipation term. With the dissipation term parameters in the model can be flexibly chosen so that the von Neumann stability condition...

A STOCHASTIC PROGRAMMING MODEL FOR AGRICULTURAL PLANNING UNDER UNCERTAIN SUPPLY -DEMAND RELATIONS Teruaki Nanseki NatiolUlI Agriculture Research Center (Received April 15,1988; Revised October 28, 1988) The main purpose of this paper is to present a stochastic programming model for agricultural planning under uncertain supply-demand relations and to propose an algorithm for the model. We first ...

The Fourth International Nanomedicine and Drug Delivery Symposium (NanoDDS’06; www.nanodds.org/) was held in Omaha, NE, USA, from October 8 to 10, 2006, to ‘provide an overview of the latest advances in all aspects of nanomedicine and drug delivery’ and attracted nearly 160 registered participants from 16 countries, 24 leading experts as guest speakers and over 80 poster presentations. The Symp...

Fatigue is one of the symptoms produced by our bioalarm system. However, we may not have paid enough attention to the importance of fatigue, since fatigue normally disappears after rest or sleeping overnight. It has been recognized that patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), showing debilitating and long-lasting fatigue which is not relieved by rest, has been producing a huge amount of e...
