Capture of μ-mesons by atomic nuclei
The Fermi gas model of nucleus is used for the calculation of the capture probabilities of negative μ-mesons by nuclei, taking into account the neutron-excess and the notion of the μ-mesons in the nuclei. In h...

Size of Hematoma and Time Course of Intracranial Pressure in Patients with Hypertensive Intracerebral Hemorrhage
It is generally believed that the hematoma of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and the surrounding cerebral edema play a role in producing increased intracranial pressure (ICP), a major factor accou...

Configuration of Antiphase Domains in One-Dimensional Long Period Superstructural Alloys
The configuration of antiphase domains in a one-dimensional long period superstructure (LPS) was examined theoretically. As LPS is composed of two kinds of antiphase domains, the domain-arrangement is describe...

Kinetics of Ordering with Phase Separation
An attempt is made to investigate theoretically the kinetics of ordering accompanying phase separation in an alloy as a continuous medium. A set of coupled equations for the local composition and the degree of...

Ordering with Phase Separation in an Fe-Al-Si Alloy
Two kinds of process of ordering with phase separation, B2 or DO3 → (A2 + DO3), on annealing at a temperature of 873 K in an alloy of Fe-6 at%Al-9 at%Si were investigated by means of transmission electron microsc...

Microearthquakes along the back-arc spreading system in the eastern Bismarck Sea
OBS’s were deployed for 26 to 29 days in the eastern Bismarck Sea to investigate the back-arc spreading. Hypocenters of 186 shallow earthquakes were determined using P- and S-waves from at least five stations....

Spontaneous large intra-abdominal wall haematoma as a rare complication in a maintenance haemodialysis patient
The incidence of spontaneous bleeding in various parts of the body has been reported to be high in patients receiving maintenance haemodialysis. We present a case of spontaneous large haematoma of the intra-ab...

Elevated plasma bile acids in hypergalactosaemic neonates: a diagnostic clue to portosystemic shunts
To determine whether plasma levels of total bile acids may provide a useful index for hypergalactosaemia due to porto-systemic shunts, these levels were determined in hypergalactosaemic neonates. Increased le...

RB silencing compromises the DNA damage-induced G2/M checkpoint and causes deregulated expression of the ECT2 oncogene
As alterations in retinoblastoma (RB)/E2F pathway are commonly found in human cancers, the molecular mechanism underlying cell cycle deregulation caused by the mutations in the RB/E2F pathway needs to be inves...

HSF1 regulation of β-catenin in mammary cancer cells through control of HuR/elavL1 expression
There is now compelling evidence to indicate a place for heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) in mammary carcinogenesis, tumour progression and metastasis. Here we have investigated a role for HSF1 in regulating the exp...

Targeting the hsp70 gene delays mammary tumor initiation and inhibits tumor cell metastasis
Elevated levels of the inducible heat-shock protein 70 (Hsp72) have been implicated in mammary tumorigenesis in histological investigations of human breast cancer. We therefore examined the role of Hsp72 in mi...
