We have identified cobalt-base superalloys showing a high-temperature strength greater than those of conventional nickel-base superalloys. The alloys are strengthened by ternary compound with the L1(2) structure, gamma' Co3(Al,W), which precipitates in disordered gamma face-centered cubic cobalt matrix high coherency and melting points. also compound, Ir3(Al,W), suggests that Co-Ir-Al-W-base systems gamma+gamma' (Co,Ir)3(Al,W) structures offer great promise as candidates for next-generation...
Phase equilibria between the γ and γ′ phases at 900°C in Co-(10–70)Ni-Al-W system were determined by electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) X-ray diffractometry (XRD). It was found that phase with L12 structure continuously exists from Co side to Ni Co-Ni-Al-W it widens low W region increasing content. The partition of Al into increased content, while changed a former increase Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements also revealed solvus temperature increases solidus is hardly...
Recent digital fabrication tools have opened up accessibility to personalized rapid prototyping; however, such are limited product-scale objects. The materials currently available for use in 3D printing too fine large-scale objects, and CNC gantry sizes limit the scope of printable In this paper, we propose a new method architecture-scale Our proposal includes three developments: (i) construction material consisting chopsticks glue, (ii) handheld chopstick dispenser, (iii) guidance system...
Abstract Betanodaviruses are the causative agents of viral nervous necrosis (VNN) or encephalopathy and retinopathy (VER) in cultured marine fish. A total 131 apparently healthy fish from 30 species were collected two geographically remote aquaculture areas, Yashima Bay (Kagawa Prefecture) Tamanoura (Nagasaki Prefecture), Japan. The brains examined by reverse transcriptase‐polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR) nested PCR to detect coat protein gene betanodavirus. In Bay, 13 20 positive for...
The Marangoni convection during steam absorption into aqueous LiBr solution with a small amount of surfactant was observed by Schlieren photography, and the surface tension absorbing measured to investigate mechanism convection. Also, numerical simulation carried out.It is found experimentally that decreases increasing concentration in this system not essentially induced presence islands on as proposed previous workers, but accordance general criterion instability. calculated results could...
H2AX is an important factor for chromatin remodeling to facilitate accumulation of DNA damage-related proteins at double-strand break (DSB) sites. In order further understand the role in damage response (DDR), we attempted identify H2AX-interacting by proteomics analysis. As a result, identified nucleolin as one candidates. Here, show novel major nucleolar protein, nucleolin, DDR. Nucleolin interacted with γ-H2AX and accumulated laser micro-irradiated DSB Chromatin Immunoprecipitation assay...
In the field of façade design and engineering, tensegrity structural principle may be utilized in pursuit flexible, lightweight, adaptable building envelopes. Depending on their geometry, structures can form planar or nonplanar grids suitable for facades, as prestressed structures, they tend to resistant dynamic loads such seismic forces wind. However, form-finding process requires nonlinear analysis physical simulations, optimize a multitude environmental objectives, computational analyses,...
A rapid bacterial identification method by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) using ribosomal proteins coded in S10 and spc operons as biomarkers, named the S10-GERMS (the S10-spc-alpha operon gene encoded protein spectrum) method, was applied for genus Bacillus a Gram-positive bacterium. The could successfully distinguish difference between B. subtilis subsp. NBRC 13719(T) spizizenii 101239(T) because of 2 subunit proteins, despite...
Abstract Background Gemcitabine is a promising drug for cholangiocarcinoma treatment. However, the kinetics and metabolism of this in treatment are not well defined. We aimed to investigate potential clinical role gemcitabine metabolism‐related genes sensitivity identify characterize novel resistance‐related genes. Methods Expressions related were measured 10 cell lines, association between gene expression was evaluated. Furthermore, gemcitabine‐resistant lines established from YSCCC cells...
Staphylococcus aureus is an important nosocomial pathogen that produces various extracellular toxins. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) a polyphenol abundant in green tea. EGCg displays strong antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria. The effect of on gene expression by S. was investigated to clarify the mechanism underlying its action. Microarray analysis performed treated with or without 500 mg/L EGCg. Differentially expressed genes were identified and their changes at...
The purpose of this study was to clarify the mechanism antibacterial action two high potential and natural food additives, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) theaflavin‐3,3′‐digallate (TF3), on Clostridium perfringens. Minimal inhibitory concentrations were determined by serial dilution method. Afterwards, cells treated with 250 or 1000 mg l−1 EGCg 125 500 TF3 morphological changes observed cell sizes also measured under fluorescence microscopy. Our results showed that had a twice stronger...
To investigate the antibacterial effects of tea theaflavins and catechins against Bacillus coagulans underlying mechanism action.Bactericidal activities theaflavin its analogues were evaluated compared with that epigallocatechin gallate. Theaflavin derivatives exhibited high bactericidal activity at 50 μmol L-1 , whereas gallate did not, even 500 . Furthermore, we investigated adsorption to model phospholipid membranes corresponding on membrane fluidity reveal their B. cell surface. Cell was...
