A great concern about the effect of oxygen in Se samples has been solved by a purification method called the distillation-with-Al method. The electrical conductivity of liquid Se prepared by this purification method shows Arrehnius behavior with a single activation energy and positive thermopower within the experimental temperature range. This...
This paper investigates certain women's problems in
contemporary Japan. Historically, Japanese believed ideal women fit
in the stereotype of "Good wife, Wise mother." Japanese women's
main roles were regarded as wife and mother. Especially,
motherhood was the main responsibility of women. However, the
advance of industry, technology, and methods of...
Semi-insulating, powder samples of Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) have been studied using ¹¹¹In Time Differential Perturbed Angular Correlation (PAC) Spectroscopy. The samples have been lightly doped (~10¹² cm⁻³) with ¹¹¹In atoms, which occupy well-defined metal (Cd) lattice sites and act as probes of the local environment. These substitutional donors form a...
YBa₂Cu₃0₇₋x was doped with In by a stoichiometrically exact substitution of
Y by In, doping levels ranging from 0% to 20%. Room temperature X-ray diffraction
measurements, Perturbed Angular Correlation spectroscopy using ¹¹¹Cd as nuclear
tracer at a variety of temperatures ranging from room temperature to 950°C and magnetic
flux exclusion...
The numerous different types of nanomaterials and paucity of reliable in vivo information on toxicity has resulted in enduring uncertainties associated with health and safety risks, thereby slowing progress in nanotherapeutic assessment and development. This dissertation explores how the embryonic zebrafish model can be applied to prioritize commonly used nanomaterial...
Comparative phylogeography offers a unique opportunity to understand the interplay between past environmental events and life-history traits on diversification of unrelated but co-distributed species. Here, we examined the effects of the quaternary climate fluctuations and palaeomarine currents and present-day marine currents on the extant patterns of genetic diversity in the...

A genetic complementation system was developed
in which tobacco etch virus (TEV) polymerase (NIb)-
expressing transgenic plants or protoplasts were inoculated
with NIb-defective TEV mutants. A β-glucuronidase (GUS)
reporter gene integrated into the genomes of parental and four
mutant viruses was used to assay RNA amplification. Two
mutants (termed VNN...
