Chemical Effects in Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering
We have investigated chemical contributions to the total enhancement in surface- enhanced Raman scattering under conditions where the electromagnetic contribution is small. On stepped and kinked silver surface...

The effect of sulfur on the dissociative adsorption of methane on nickel
The dissociative adsorption of methane was carried out on a Ni(100) surface covered with various amounts of sulfur under the high incident flux conditions of 1 Torr methane. Auger electron spectroscopy was use...

Dissociative adsorption of alkanes on clean and sulfur-modified nickel surfaces
Recent studies of the dissociative adsorption of methane on clean Ni(111), Ni(100), Ni(110), and sulfur-modified Ni(100), as well as ethane, propane, and n-butane on Ni(100) have been carried out under the high i...

Chiral extension of the standard model
The chiral extension of the minimal standard model makes quarks with two chiralities present parallely. Some interesting questions, such as the possibility that leptons are made of additional leptonic quarks a...

Overexpression of the yeast MCK1 protein kinase suppresses conditional mutations in centromere-binding protein genes CBF2 and CBF5
We find that overexpression in yeast of the yeast MCK1 gene, which encodes a meiosis and centromere regulatory kinase, suppresses the temperature-sensitive phenotype of certain mutations in essential centromere b...

Supersymmetrization of the chiral extension of the standard model
In this paper we investigate the supersymmetrization of the chiral extension of the standard model. It is proven that such a theory maintains many important characteristics of the original one, but the generat...

Concentrations of Soluble CD95 and CD8 Antigens in the Plasma and Levels of CD8+CD95+, CD8+CD38+, and CD4+CD95+ T Cells Are Markers for HIV-1 Infection and Clinical Status
Apoptosis mediated via the CD95 (FAS/APO-1) receptor is thought to play a role in the depletion of CD4+ T cells in HIV infection. In the present study expression of the CD95 antigen on lymphocyte subsets and t...

Novel oxylipins from the temperate red alga polyneura latissima: Evidence for an arachidonate 9(S)-lipoxygenase
The oxylipin chemistry of the temperate red alga Polyneura latissima has been investigated. The structures of three novel oxylipins, 8-[1′(Z),3′(Z),6′(Z)-dodecatriene-1′-oxyl-5(Z),7(E)-octadienoic acid, 7(S ...

Nitric oxide-mediated apoptosis of K-1735 melanoma cells is associated with downregulation of Bcl-2
Recent studies have shown that the treatment of nonmetastatic K-1735 murine melanoma cells with cytokines induces the production of nitric oxide (NO) and hence cell death. The purpose of this study was to dete...

Intersubband Transitions of Normal Incidence N-Type Direct Band Gap Quantum Well Structures(invited)
Intersubband transitions using normal incidence in the conduction band of a direct gap semiconductor quantum well structure is very unconventional, yet very useful in quantum well infrared photodetectors (QWIP...

Effects of simulated microgravity on the alkaline phosphatase activity and intracellular calcium concentration of cultured chondrocytes
The effects of simulated microgravity on matrix mineralization of chondrocytes were examined using cultured chicken embryonic chondrocytes as the model. In four days, there was a time course decrease in alkali...

p53 protects against skin cancer induction by UV-B radiation
To assess the role of the p53 tumor suppressor gene in skin carcinogenesis by UV radiation, mice constitutively lacking one or both copies of the functional p53 gene were compared to wild-type mice for their susc...
