From in vivo single-cell, single-RNA measurements of the activation times and subsequent steady-state active transcription kinetics of a single-copy Lac-ara-1 promoter in Escherichia coli, we characterize the intake kinetics of the inducer (IPTG) from the media, following temperature shifts. For this, for temperature shifts of various degrees, we obtain the distributions of transcription activa...

Statistical characteristics of two-dimensional point vortex systems in positive and negative temperature states are examined by massive numerical simulations using a special-purpose supercomputer, MDGRAPE-3. Mathematical description of the system is identical to that of a collection of charged rods, i.e., a guiding-center plasma. The characteristics of the negative temperature state is examined...

In this paper, a measurement method for cross-sectional temperature distributions is considered. A novel method based on an acoustic computed tomography (CT) technique is proposed. Specifically, the temperature distributions are estimated using the time of flight (TOF) of multidirectional ultrasonic propagation paths. Maximum Likelihood Expectation Maximization (ML-EM) method and the Median Fil...

We present and compare projected distributions of mass, galaxies, and the intracluster medium (ICM) for a sample of merging clusters of galaxies based on the joint weak-lensing, optical, and X-ray analysis. Our sample comprises seven nearby Abell clusters (0.0542≤ z≤0.279), for which we have conducted systematic, deep imaging observations with Suprime-Cam on Subaru telescope. Our seven target c...

Effects of differences in a town’s configuration and the building surface components on urban warming were investigated. One of the most traditional and now urbanized districts in Osaka was selected as the objective. The CFD model was developed for the present district and has verified by measurement in the former study. Surface temperatures were used as boundary conditions and the air temperat...
