Autosomal recessive juvenile parkinsonism (AR-JP) is characterised by homogenous clinical features and selective degeneration of nigral neurons. Recent progress in molecular genetic analyses of AR-JP has led to the identification of a novel ubiquitin-like protein, parkin, whose precise function still remains to be elucidated. Two unrelated Japanese families had levodopa unresponsive parkinsonis...

We examined discrimination of a second-language (L2) vowel duration contrast in English learners of Japanese (JP) with different amounts of experience using the magnetoencephalography mismatch field (MMF) component. Twelve L2 learners were tested before and after a second semester of college-level JP; half attended a regular rate course and half an accelerated course with more hours per week. R...

The main objective of this research is to study the effects of JP-4-biodiesel-diesel fuel blends and operating parameters on the emission characteristics of a CI engine. The experimental tests were performed on a four-cylinder DI diesel engine. The Mixture-RSM method was used to develop mathematical models based on experimental data. The results showed that with the increase of the biodiesel pr...

JP-8 jet fuel (similar to commercial/international jet A-1 fuel) is the standard military fuel for all types of vehicles, including the U.S. Air Force aircraft inventory. As such, JP-8 presents the most common chemical exposure in the Air Force, particularly for flight and ground crew personnel during preflight operations and for maintenance personnel performing routine tasks. Personal exposure...

Jerami padi adalah salah satu limbah pertanian yang melimpah di Indonesia dapat digunakan sebagai sumber lignoselulosa untuk produksi biogas. Salah metode meningkatkan biogas dengan menambahkan cairan rumen dan kotoran sapi. Penelitian ini membandingkan pada sapi (JP-R) campuran (JP-RKS). Percobaan dilakukan dalam reaktor <em>batch</em> anaerob selama 30 hari volume kerja 3,6 L suhu...

TO THE EDITOR: Francescato et al. (1) contrast the lack of interindividual correlation between the phosphocreatine (PCr) time constant ( PCr) and the ADP concentration ([ADP]) change from rest to steady state ( [ADP]S) during moderate aerobic exercise with the fact that “. . .ADP concentration is commonly thought to be one of the main feedback signals controlling mitochondrial respiration” (1),...

This invention is a healthful composition comprising a hot-water extract of the cultivated mycelia of Cordyceps sinensis. The healthful composition of the invention is an oral healthful composition which is highly safe and has excellent cardiotonic, hypotensive, antitussive and anti-fatigue effects. Inventors: Taketomo; Naoki (Tokyo, JP); Tsunoo; Akinobu (Tokyo, JP); Itoh; Hiroyuki (Kanagawa, J...

PURPOSE A comparison was done between the F. Paulino jejunal pouch (FP) and a jejunal pouch (JP) as esophagus-duodenum interpositional graft, for replacing the stomach after total gastrectomy. It was investigated the effect of the two procedures on esophagus histology, nutritional state and serum gastrin in rats. METHODS Male Wistar rats weighing 282 +/- 17g were randomly submitted to sham op...
