    This study uses three-dimensional motion analysis to determine features of the throwing motion in male javelin throwers. Run-up speeds were compared and features of the inverse pendulum model were determined using three-dimensional motion analysis. The results showed that run-up speed correlated with throwing distance. As run-up speed increased, the pendulum angle at L-on enlarged and tilted backwards (p < .01) after the width of the pendulum increased during the double-support phase. We presumed that the enlarged backward tilt converted a large amount of energy to increase the speed of run-up at L-on

    Role of bias and tunneling asymmetries in nonlinear Fermi-liquid transport through an SU(NN) quantum dot

    We study how bias and tunneling asymmetries affect nonlinear current through a quantum dot with NN discrete levels in the Fermi liquid regime, using an exact low-energy expansion of the current derived up to terms of order V3V^3 with respect to the bias voltage. The expansion coefficients are described in terms of the phase shift, the linear susceptibilities, and the three-body correlation functions, defined with respect to the equilibrium ground state of the Anderson impurity model. In particular, the three-body correlations play an essential role in the order V3V^3 term, and their coupling to the nonlinear current depends crucially on the bias and tunnel asymmetries. The number of independent components of the three-body correlation functions increases with NN the internal degrees of the quantum dots, and it gives a variety in the low-energy transport. We calculate the correlation functions over a wide range of electron fillings of the Anderson impurity model with the SU(NN) internal symmetry, using the numerical renormalization group. We find that the order V3V^3 nonlinear current through the SU(NN) Kondo state, which occurs at electron fillings of 11 and N1N-1 for strong Coulomb interactions, significantly varies with the three-body contributions as tunnel asymmetries increase. Furthermore, in the valence fluctuation regime toward the empty or fully occupied impurity state, a sharp peak emerges in the coefficient of V3V^3 current in the case at which bias and tunneling asymmetries cooperatively enhance the charge transfer from one of the electrodes.Comment: 18 pages, 13 figures.

    Impaired degradation followed by enhanced recycling of epidermal growth factor receptor caused by hypo-phosphorylation of tyrosine 1045 in RBE cells

    信州大学博士(医学)・学位論文・平成24年6月11日授与(甲第929号)・桂安萍Background: Since cholangiocarcinoma has a poor prognosis, several epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-targeted therapies with antibody or small molecule inhibitor treatment have been proposed. However, their effect remains limited. The present study sought to understand the molecular genetic characteristics of cholangiocarcinoma related to EGFR, with emphasis on its degradation and recycling. Methods: We evaluated EGFR expression and colocalization by immunoblotting and immunofluorescence, cell surface EGFR expression by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), and EGFR ubiquitination and protein binding by immunoprecipitation in the human cholangiocarcinoma RBE and immortalized cholangiocyte MMNK-1 cell lines. Monensin treatment and Rab11a depletion by siRNA were adopted for inhibition of EGFR recycling. Results: Upon stimulation with EGF, ligand-induced EGFR degradation was impaired and the expression of phospho-tyrosine 1068 and phospho-p44/42 MAPK was sustained in RBE cells as compared with MMNK-1 cells. In RBE cells, the process of EGFR sorting for lysosomal degradation was blocked at the early endosome stage, and non-degradated EGFR was recycled to the cell surface. A disrupted association between EGFR and the E3 ubiquitin ligase c-Cbl, as well as hypo-phosphorylation of EGFR at tyrosine 1045 (Tyr1045), were also observed in RBE cells. Conclusion: In RBE cells, up-regulation of EGFR Tyr1045 phosphorylation is a potentially useful molecular alteration in EGFR-targeted therapy. The combination of molecular-targeted therapy determined by the characteristics of individual EGFR phosphorylation events and EGFR recycling inhibition show promise in future treatments of cholangiocarcinoma.ArticleBMC Cancer. 2012, 12:179journal articl

    Thermal conductivity of uranium dioxide by nonequilibrium Molecular dynamics simulation

    金沢大学理学部The thermal conductivity of UO2 pellet, which is used as nuclear fuel, was calculated using the nonequilibrium classical molecular dynamics method by Evans and Morriss. The result of calculation from 300–3000 K obtained presents the same tendency as experiments below 2400 K. Above 2400 K, a different tendency was observed in which the electron conduction was not negligible. The thermal conductivity using the nonequilibrium molecular dynamics method was calculated with about 1/10 number of simulation steps compared with the equilibrium molecular dynamics simulation. It was found that the nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulation is quite effective
