X-ray Anomalous Scattering of Diluted Magnetic Oxide Semiconductors: Possible Evidence of Lattice Deformation for High Temperature Ferromagnetism
We have examined whether the Co ions crystallographically substitute on the
Ti sites in rutile and anatase Ti_{1-x}_{x}_{2-delta}K_{1-x}_{x}_{2-delta}_2_{1-x}_{x}$O thin films and
obtained direct evidence that the Co ions are indeed substituted on the Zn
sites.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, accepted in PR
NBRP, National Bioresource Project of Japan and plant bioresource management
The National BioResource Project has been organized and established to promote research activities using valuable bioresources. A total of twenty-eight bioresources for ten animals, nine plants and nine microorganisms/cell lines developed or collected in Japan were selected for the project. Resources are categorized into several different groups in the project; genetic resources, germplasm, genome resources and their information. Choices of how many resources must be preserved and maintained and in which categories are dependent on the status of the research community of each organism. These resources, if utilized systematically and intelligently, are powerful means for leading new scientific discoveries. Some examples can be seen in this paper. This paper reviews plant bioresources with the main focus on rice resource activities within the project
Production of Platelet-Activating Factor by Porcine Brain Microvascular Endothelial Cells in Culture
Expression of interferon-stimulated gene 20 in vascular endothelial cells.
ISG20 is an ribonuclease specific for single-stranded RNA and considered to play a role in innate immunity against virus infections. We herein show that both poly IC, an authentic double-stranded RNA, and IFN-gamma induced ISG20 expression in cultured HUVEC. Poly IC-induced ISG20 expression was inhibited by LY294002, an inhibitor of PI3K, or by RNA interference against IFN regulatory factor three. ISG20 expression was not induced by IFN-beta, loxoribine or CpG oligonucleotide. These results suggest that ISG20 induction by poly IC may not be dependent on the IRF-3-mediated type I IFN induction pathway in HUVEC. ISG20 may be involved in innate immunity against viral infection in vascular endothelial cells
