Abstract In response to the subduction of young Shikoku Basin Philippine Sea Plate, arc magmas erupted in SW Japan throughout late Cenozoic. Many magma types are present including ocean island basalt (OIB), shoshonite (SHO), arc‐type alkali (AB), typical subalkalic (SAB), high‐Mg andesite (HMA), and adakite (ADK). OIB since back‐arc basin opened, whereas subsequent accompanied Basin. However, there origin relation hot is debated. Using new major trace element Sr‐Nd‐Pb‐Hf isotope analyses 324...
Serotonin is known to modulate the response of neuronal populations in primary olfactory center moth system, antennal lobe. Here, we analyzed effects serotonin on behavior related restricted pheromone pathway male silkmoth, Bombyx mori. In order understand at behavioral level, applied (10(-5) mol l(-1), 10(-4) l(-1) and 10(-3) l(-1)) brain found that increases sensitivity female whereas had opposite effect. Levels were determined using HPLC with electrochemical detection. Inhibitory observed...
Recently, reports of influenza-associated encephalopathy have increased worldwide. Given the high mortality and morbidity rates attributable to this severe neurologic complication influenza, we conducted a nationwide study in Japan identify prognostic factors.We retrospectively evaluated 442 cases that were reported Collaborative Study Group on Influenza-Associated Encephalopathy, which was organized by Japanese Ministry Health, Labor, Welfare collaboration with hospitals, clinics, local...
Prestressed concrete piles with closed-ended circular hollow sections (spun piles) are sometimes used as foundations for pile-supported wharves. Due to a reduction in the rebar area, compressive strength, yield strength of PC-bar, and bond between PC-bar concrete, corrosion attacks typically lower performance spun marine environment. A comprehensive analysis effect on mechanical properties pile materials is crucial assess corroded plies. Using three-dimensional finite element (FEA), this...
Abstract Temporal–spatial variations in Late Cenozoic volcanic activity the Chugoku area, southwest Japan, have been examined based on 108 newly obtained K–Ar ages. Lava samples were collected from eight Quaternary provinces (Daisen, Hiruzen, Yokota, Daikonjima, Sambe, Ooe–Takayama, Abu and Oki) a Tertiary cluster (Kibi Province) to cover almost all geological units province. Including published age data, total of 442 radiometric ages are now available. Across‐arc an area approximately 500...
We examined quantitative changes in biogenic amines relation to effects of population density on growth and behavior the cricket Gryllus bimaculatus, which were reared two different densities, completely isolated solitary 40 crowded insects. In animals, rate increase body weight was slow, also day imaginal moult late, when compared ones. Development thus suppressed group. The color ones darker than that Behavioral tests indicated crickets significantly more aggressive levels amines, their...
Abstract Volcanic rocks consisting of adakite and Nb‐enriched basalt are found in the early Devonian Tuoranggekuduke Group northern margin Kazakhstan‐Junggar Plate, Xinjiang, northwest China. The geochemical characteristics andesitic dacitic this area resemble that adakites. relatively high Al 2 O 3 , Na MgO content Mg ♯ values indicate adakites were generated relation to oceanic slab subduction rather than partial melting basaltic crust. A slightly higher SrI a lower ɛ Nd ( t = 375 Ma)...
Aim To determine the effectiveness of switching to right unilateral (RUL) from bilateral (BL) stimulation in patients with inadequate seizures during acute electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Methods A retrospective review medical records was conducted admitted Department Psychiatry, Hiroshima Citizens Hospital, who received ECT January 2019 December 2021. Clinical characteristics including procedures and adverse events were examined switched RUL BL. Results Thirteen (7 male 6 female patients,...
In humans, appetite is affected by food experiences and flavors. the blowfly Phormia regina , we found that feeding threshold to sugar increased in presence of odor d -limonene decreased dithiothreitol (DTT). Using these odors as representative nonappetitive appetitive flavors, demonstrated role played tyramine (TA) regulation When fed with sucrose flavored for 5 after emergence, flies showed subsequent plain sucrose, whereas when they were DTT appetite. However, mushroom body (MB)-ablated...
Abstract Dopamine has been suggested to be involved in physiological and/or behavioural changes triggered by mating European honeybee ( Apis mellifera ) queens but its specific role remains unclear. In the present study, amounts of dopamine (DA) and metabolite, N ‐acetyldopamine (NADA) are measured, various ages clarify association with locomotor activity. The effects DA receptor agonist/antagonist drugs on activity further investigated. Brain levels NADA relatively constant during period...
本研究は、全国のK-NET、KiK-net等の強震記録に対してスペクトルインバージョンを適用し、強震観測地点におけるサイト増幅特性を求め、また、これを利用した強震動シミュレーションを実施し、その有用性を示したものである。スペクトルインバージョンに関しては、すでに類似の研究も行われているが、本研究では、後続位相を含む波形全体から計算されるフーリエスペクトルを解析の対象とすることにより、古和田他の方法による強震動評価に適したサイト増幅特性の算定を行っている。また、基準観測点の選定に関しても新たなクライテリアを設けている。解析の結果得られた震源スペクトルから地震モーメントを計算したところ、F-net のCMT 解と良く一致する結果となった。また、算定されたサイト増幅特性を利用し、既往の内陸活断層地震および海溝型地震を対象に、古和田他の方法による強震動シミュレーションを実施した結果、適切な震源モデルさえ与えられれば、0.2-1Hz の速度波形を適切に評価できる見通しが得られた。
