Abstract In designing a planetary rover, it is important to consider and evaluate the influence of parameters such as weight dimensions rover on its traveling performance. this study, rover's performance was evaluated by conduct experiments using monotrack an inline four‐wheeled with different weights. Then wheel diameter width quantitatively determined performing two‐wheeled equipped wheels, diameters widths. The results were compared those numerical simulation based terramechanics....
The morphology and interfacial energetics of vapor-deposited Cu on slightly reduced CeO2(111) surfaces at 300 K have been studied using single crystal adsorption calorimetry (SCAC), He+ low-energy ion scattering spectroscopy (ISS), X-ray photoelectron (XPS), low energy electron diffraction (LEED). Copper grows as three-dimensional nanoparticles with a density ∼1013 particles/cm2 CeO2–x(111) (x = 0.05, 0.1, 0.2). initial heat decreased the extent reduction, showing that stoichiometric ceria...
The homeobox transcription factor CSX/NKX2.5, which is a vertebrate homologue of the Drosophila gene tinman, essential for cardiac development. It expressed in early mesoderm and heart muscle lineage throughout life. Homozygous deletion CSX/NKX2.5 causes embryonic lethality mice because development arrested at linear tube stage. Heterozygous mutation human has been associated with various congenital diseases such as atrial septal defect (ASD), ventricular defect, tetralogy Fallot, tricuspid...
The 32-channel SQUID system described here is used for diagnosing heart disease by measuring the x and y components of cardiac magnetic field. To detect a field parallel to body surface, it uses compact hybrid superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) gradiometer consisting planar pickup coil (fabricated using thin-film techniques) square double-washer dc-SQUID having large voltage-flux transfer function. SQUIDs are operated in flux-locked mode simple readout circuits connected...
There has been a long-standing debate regarding the diversification of paranasal sinuses, namely pneumatized spaces in face. Functional adaptation and structural constraints have generally suggested to explain sinus vertebrates. Here we investigated variation maxillary external facial cranium hybrid Taiwanese–Japanese macaques estimate genetic basis phenotypic differences. The Taiwanese large sinus, whereas Japanese small sinus; they are also significantly different their craniofacial...
ABSTRACT The widespread and complex ecogeographical diversity of macaques may have caused adaptive morphological convergence among four phylogenetic subgroups, making their relationships unclear. We used geometric morphometrics multivariate analyses to test the null hypothesis that craniofacial morphology does not vary with factors. As predicted by Bergmann's rule, size was larger for fascicularis sinica groups in colder environments. No clear cline observed silenus sylvanus groups. An...
Abstract Aim Understanding patterns and processes of geographic genetic variation within among closely related species is the essence phylogeography. Japanese macaques, also called snow monkeys, have been extensively studied, particularly in fields sociobiology, ecology experimental biology; however, our knowledge their evolutionary history relatively limited. In this study we aimed to elucidate macaques that underlie them. Location Japan. Taxa macaque, Macaca fuscata ; rhesus M. mulatta...
We have developed a traveling-wave Mach-Zehnder modulator using an n-i-n heterostructure fabricated on InP substrate. obtained extremely small /spl pi/ voltage (V/spl pi/) of 2.2 V, even for short signal-electrode length 3 mm. confirmed that the device has impedance-matched electrode and operates at 40 Gb/s with single-ended drive 2.3 V.
Objectives Geographic variation in human nasal form has often been interpreted as a climatic adaptation, owing to the air‐conditioning function. The aim of this study was further address morphofunctional issues cavity, using three groups from subarctic, temperate, and subtropical regions Japanese Archipelago: prehistoric Okhotsk, early‐modern Honshu Okinawa groups. Methods Using three‐dimensional coordinates craniometric landmarks surrounding we compared linear measurements regarding cavity...
Understanding the process and consequences of hybridization is one major challenges in evolutionary biology. A growing body literature has reported evidence ancient events or natural hybrid zones primates, including humans; however, we still have relatively limited knowledge about pattern history admixture because there been little studies that simultaneously achieved genome-scale analysis a geographically wide sampling wild populations. Our study applied double-digest restriction...
Despite the accumulating evidence suggesting importance of phenotypic plasticity in diversification and adaptation, little is known about plastic variation primate skulls. The present study evaluated mandible Japanese macaques by comparing wild captive specimens. results showed that individuals are square-jawed with relatively longer tooth rows than individuals. We also found this shape change resembles sexual dimorphism, indicating mandibles to some extent masculinized. By contrast,...
The REPRO-TDE test was performed at a depth of about 400 m in the ONKALO underground research facility Finland. Synthetic groundwater containing radionuclide tracers [tritiated water tracer (HTO), 36Cl, 22Na, 133Ba, and 134Cs] circulated for 4 years packed-off interval injection borehole. Tracer activities were additionally monitored two observation boreholes. subject modeling exercise by SKB GroundWater Flow Transport Solutes Task Force. Eleven teams participated exercise, using different...
SAD kinases regulate presynaptic vesicle clustering and neuronal polarization. A previous report demonstrated that Sada-/- Sadb-/- double-mutant mice showed perinatal lethality with a severe defect in axon/dendrite differentiation, but their single mutants did not. These results indicated they were functionally redundant. Surprisingly, we show on C57BL/6N background, SAD-A is essential for cortical development whereas SAD-B dispensable. died within few days after birth. Their lamination...
