ABSTRACT Despite the fact that Nepal is one of first countries globally to introduce multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) case management, number MDR-TB cases continuing rise in Nepal. Rapid molecular tests applicable this setting identify resistant organisms would be an effective tool reversing trend. To develop such tools, information about frequency and distribution mutations are associated with phenotypic drug resistance Mycobacterium required. In present study, we investigated...
Abstract Background In Zambia, the presence of bovine tuberculosis in both wild and domestic animals has long been acknowledged mutual transmission between them predicted without any direct evidence. Elucidation circulating Mycobacterium bovis strains at interphase area where was diagnosed wildlife seemed to be important. Results A PCR identified 15 37 M. isolates from lechwe cattle, respectively. Spoligotype analysis revealed that cattle Kafue basin clustered into a major node SB0120,...
Summary It is generally accepted that kelp populations have a metapopulation structure. Most zoospores settle near to their parent individual, and infrequent but long‐distance dispersal of contributes gene flow between local populations. Population genetic analysis single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping by MIG‐seq (i.e. multiplexed inter‐simple sequence repeats sequencing) was performed on the dominant kelp, Eisenia bicyclis , in two areas: Kitsunezaki (a sheltered area) Shimoda (an...
ABSTRACT The Beijing genotype of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is known to be a worldwide epidemic clade. It suggested possibly resistant clone against BCG vaccination and also highly pathogenic prone becoming drug resistant. Thus, monitoring the prevalence this lineage seems important for proper control tuberculosis. Rv0679c protein M. has been predicted one outer membrane proteins contribute host cell invasion. Here, we conducted sequence analysis gene using clinical isolates found that...
SUMMARY We conducted a 5‐year monitoring survey of population Eisenia bicyclis kelp at coastal area that suffered subsidence from the 2011 earthquake and subsequent breakwater restoration work. Due to subsidence, former intertidal sank subtidal zone, therefore, density E. increased because many recruits. However, after work, harboring recruits was destroyed landfilled. In an below pre‐subsidence border distribution, were rare. Furthermore, indirect effect work also observed on recruitment in...
足摺宇和海国立公園には高知県土佐清水市から愛媛県宇和島市にかけての沿岸部の広い範囲が指定されているが,この海域は水温と沿岸域の生態系構造の南北勾配が特徴的である。気候変動の影響による生態系や生態系サービスの変化が想定される中で,保護区内で生態系をどのように利用・保全するかが課題である。本研究では,対象域で優占する造礁サンゴと大型海藻に着目し,潜水調査により分布を把握するとともに,関係者への聞き取り調査や行政文書の解析等によりこれらの生物資源が地域でどのように利用・保全されているかを整理することを目的とした。調査の結果,実際にサンゴが分布する海域と観光利用や保全活動が実施されている地域が異なることがあり,空間的なギャップが生じていることが示された。一方,大型海藻に関しては養殖業が盛んな地域では保全の必要性に対する認識は乏しく,保全活動の規模もサンゴと比べて限定的であることが明らかとなった。
Some alternative driver models are proposed to mimic accelerating/decelerating behaviors of drivers particularly at curves and intersections. The calibrated against experimental data sets taken from car-following experiments conducted in a test track Hokkaido, Japan. position speed vehicles were measured precisely using Real Time Kinematic (RTK) GPS receivers. validated the General Motors (GM) model, well-known model. comparison gave clear advantage mixed over other GM producing lowest RMSE...
<title>Abstract</title> <italic>Eisenia bicyclis</italic> is a dominant stipitate understory canopy-forming kelp on the Pacific coast of Japan. It perennial and individuals live for approximately 8 years. While blades <italic>E. are gradually renewed, stipes constantly present to support have been observed persist some time after loss or detachment holdfast. Therefore, stipe may function as long-lasting carbon sink. However, there few attempts quantify contribution coastal environment. In...
Abstract This data paper introduces a set of quantitative records, including biomass (wet and dry weight), cover, shoot density length, habitat‐forming seaweeds (temperate kelps fucoids) collected at 400 sites (2,115 sampling points) warm‐to‐cold temperate zone the Japanese coast from 1957 to 2013. The includes 8,885 occurrence records 58 species, extracted 64 literature sources, most which were written in local language. compiled each study site, year month; geographical location; vertical...
The subtidal zone on cold temperate rocky coasts is an environment exposed to much less physical disturbance than the intertidal, and sediment deposition continuous. Removal of this by gastropod grazers therefore presumed affect structure algal communities. This concept was investigated evaluating grazing effects dominant herbivorous Omphalius rusticus exclusion experiments in field. Settlement plates both control treatments were placed every month from November 2014, immersed for 1 mo....
Purpose: In acute stroke patients when initiating Nasal-gastric tube feeding (NGF) have a high risk for aspiration pneumonia, which may be related to the body position. We investigated relationship between position during NGF and pneumonia. Method: enrolled consecutive patients, 1) who were admitted from June 2011 May 2012, 2) with diagnosis of within five days, 3) initiated two days admission due altered mental state or severe dysphagia. allocated these into Group alternately according NGF;...
Bovine tuberculosis is a chronic zoonotic disease that affects both animal and human health imposes serious public concerns in the world. Intake of non-pasteurized milk considered most probable vehicle for transmission pathogenic bacteria. In this study, detection Mycobacterium bovis BCG spiked using polymerase chain reaction was performed. The performance two DNA extraction methods, CTAB/phenol:chloroform:isoamyl alcohol EXTRAGENMB were also evaluated. addition, Mycobacterial concentration...
インドネシア国リアウ州の泥炭島を対象として，再湿地化によるCO2放出量および火災リスクの低減効果を定量評価した．観測した水文気象データとCO2放出速度の相関分析により，熱帯泥炭湿地における土壌からのCO2放出速度は，気温や地温の上昇によって促進され，地下水位や土壌水分量の増加によって抑制されることが示された．地下水位－CO2放出量推定モデルを適用した結果，地下水位計算値のNash係数が0.5以上となり実測値を概ね再現した．短期連続観測によるCO2放出速度の実測値と計算値の推定誤差はRMSEで2.5（tCha-1 year-1），相対誤差率は19%であった．モデルを用いて，再湿地化によるCO2放出量および不飽和層の削減率を計算した結果，乾季の排水路水位を100cm堰上げすることにより 17.2%のCO2削減効果が得られ，火災リスクの指標となる不飽和層厚さは46.4%削減される結果が得られた．
