Individual, seasonal, 300 m temperature maps were constructed over the Kuroshio Current System from 130°E to 170°W, for a 4-year period summer 1976 through spring 1980, using TRANSPAC XBT data and JODC temperature/depth data. Quasi-stationary meanders in Kuroshic occurred at 137°C (i.e., Meander), 144°E 150°E lee-wave meanders), near 160°E meander Shatsky Rise). A composite of paths 12°C isotherm) individual seasonal maps, total variance map, finds nodes minima) anti-nodes maxima)...
Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) has been shown to stimulate wound healing. However, consistent delivery of bFGF problematic. We studied the stability incorporated into a chitosan film as vehicle for providing sustained release bFGF. The therapeutic effect this system on healing in genetically diabetic mice was determined model treating clinically impaired A prepared by freeze-drying hydroxypropylchitosan (a water-soluble derivative chitosan) acetate buffer solution. Growth films before...
The dependence of polar direction GaN film on growth conditions has been investigated by changing either the group-V/group-III ratio (V/III ratio) in supplying source gas or deposition rate. films were deposited a nitrided sapphire two-step metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. surface morphology changed from flat hexagonal to pyramidal facet with increase V/III ratio. However, an optimized buffer layer 20 nm thickness was N-face (−c) polarity, independent both and polarity epitaxtial can...
Variations of subsurface zonal current in the eastern equatorial Indian Ocean are investigated by examining 6‐year data (December 2000–November 2006) from acoustic Doppler profiler (ADCP) mooring at 0°S, 90°E. The analysis indicates presence an eastward between 90 and 170 m depths during both boreal winter summer. During winter, generation pressure gradient, which drives flow thermocline, is caused primarily upwelling Kelvin waves excited prevailing easterly winds. On other hand, downwelling...
The Mirai Indian Ocean cruise for the Study of Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO)-convection Onset (MISMO) was a field experiment that took place in central equatorial during October–December 2006, using research vessel Mirai, moored buoy array, and landbased sites at Maldive Islands. aim MISMO to capture atmospheric oceanic features when convection MJO initiated. This article describes details as well some selected early results. Intensive observations Doppler radar, radiosonde, surface...
In order to identify the origin of nonequilibrated pressure field which introduces semiannual variations Lombok throughflow, one major components Indonesian seasonal sea level records along eastern boundary Indian Ocean and subsurface temperature in equatorial are compared with results from ocean general circulation models forced by climatological winds. It is shown, as discussed Clarke Liu [1993] using a simple analytical model, that annual component excited locally monsoonal winds, whereas...
One of the pathological hallmarks periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) is selective vulnerability late oligodendrocyte progenitors (preoligodendrocytes; preOLs) to hypoxia-ischemia (H-I). It unknown whether recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) protects preOLs in vivo.To develop a rat PVL model which are selectively damaged and exhibit similar changes diffuse-type PVL, various conditions H-I were compared P2-P7 rats (P2 = postnatal day 2). To evaluate effect rhEPO on oligoprotection...
Free radicals play an important role in the inflammatory process of sepsis. We hypothesized that edaravone, a novel free radical scavenger, can suppress pathophysiological events and prolong survival neonatal sepsis cecal ligation perforation (CLP) model. Of 32 3-day-old anesthetized mechanically ventilated piglets, 11 received CLP only, 10 edaravone treatment starting 30 min after CLP, constituted sham (control) group. Mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate, cardiac output, blood gas,...
An anomalous climate mode, the positive Indian Ocean dipole (IOD), occurred in 2006 with sea surface temperature (SST) distribution tropical Ocean. Using various types of observational data, we investigated variation mixed layer eastern to clarify processes that produced SST 2006. Analysis was conducted at an intraseasonal time scale and focused on a location (5°S, 95°E) where situ measurements by Triangle Trans‐Ocean Buoy Network were available. Temporal changes obtained from buoy data....
Warm sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies of more than 1 °C occurred in the southeastern tropical Indian Ocean and peaked during August to October 2010. The anomalous SST warming was associated with negative phase dipole (IOD) phenomenon. In this study, observational data from a moored buoy were used together satellite atmospheric reanalysis sets clarify processes that produced anomalously warm We focused on location 5°S, 95°E where situ measurements 10 years by available. observations...

Under the auspices of World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) Hydrographic Program, Japan carried out a total four sections in North Pacific, P2 at 30°N, P13 165°E, P9 137°E, and P8 130°E. These Japanese several other WOCE are used to estimate transport Pacific Intermediate Water (NPIW) subtropical gyre. Previous studies speculate about 3 Sv (1 = 10 6 m s −1 ) NPIW transport, originating mainly Okhotsk Sea, entering gyre southward via mixed water region east Japan. The subpolar input is...
