Sea Surface Wave Information Using GPS Sea Reflected Signal - Wave Height

In case of positioning by GPS, the direct signal from the satellite to the receiver is ordinarily utilized, but the multipath signal is regarded as one error source that deteriorate the positioning accuracy. In this paper, we focus on characteristics of the reflected signal, and had a few simulation tests. The correlator output signals are checked out and compared to the change of wave height and the wave period. In this paper we describe that in sufficient long wave compared with reflection area size we can measure an accurate wave height, and by pointing antenna beam center from two directions we can obtain the characteristics of wave which are height, direction and period.

Expression patterns of gdnf and gfrα1 in rainbow trout testis.

In mice, glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is essential for normal spermatogenesis and in vitro culture of spermatogonial stem cells. In murine testes, GDNF acts as paracrine factor; Setoli cells secrete it to a subset of spermatogonial cells expressing its receptor, GDNF family receptor α1 (GFRα1). However, in fish, it is unclear what types of cells express gdnf and gfrα1. In this study, we isolated the rainbow trout orthologues of these genes and analyzed their expression patterns during spermatogenesis. In rainbow trout testes, gdnf and gfrα1 were expressed in almost all type A spermatogonia (ASG). Noticeably, unlike in mice, the expression of gdnf was not observed in Sertoli cells in rainbow trout. During spermatogenesis, the expression levels of these genes changed synchronously; gdnf and gfrα1 showed high expression in ASG and decreased dramatically in subsequent developmental stages. These results suggested that GDNF most likely acts as an autocrine factor in rainbow trout testes

Gene Expression Profiles of the Small Intestinal Mucosa of Dogs Repeatedly Infected with the Cestode \u3ci\u3eEchinococcus multilocularis\u3c/i\u3e

The data set presented in this article is related to a previous research article entitled, The timing of worm exclusion in dogs repeatedly infected with the cestode Echinococcus multilocularis (Kouguchi et al., 2016). This article describes the genes \u3e2 fold up- or down-regulated in the first- and repeated-infection groups compared to the healthy controls group. The gene expression profiles were generated using the Agilent-021193 Canine (V2) Gene Expression Microarray (GPL15379). The raw and normalized microarray data have been deposited with the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database under accession number GSE105098

Adult Worm Exclusion and Histological Data of Dogs Repeatedly Infected with the Cestode \u3ci\u3eEchinococcus multilocularis\u3c/i\u3e

The data presented in this article are related to a previously published research article titled The timing of worm exclusion in dogs repeatedly infected with the cestode Echinococcus multilocularis (Kouguchi et al. 2016). This data describe a comparison of worm exclusion in the early stage of infection (1 day and 6 days post-infection) between dogs infected for the first time (control group) and dogs repeatedly infected with the parasite 4 times (repeated infection groups). We observed that 6 days post reinfection, the number of adult worms in repeated-infection groups decreased by 88.7% compared with the control group. Histological analysis comparison of the small intestinal mucosa from healthy, first infected, and repeatedly infected dogs are also reported. We observed no clear pathological abnormality, except the shortening of microvillus in reinfected dogs. However, eosinophil accumulation and eosinophilic ulcers were observed in some reinfected dogs. This data could be useful as preliminary data to develop a final host vaccine for this parasite

In Vitro Reconstitution of the Clostridium botulinum Type D Progenitor Toxin

Clostiridium botulinum D型4947株は蛋白分解作用を受けない完全型として、異なったサイズの2種類のプロジェニター毒素（MとL）を産生する。M毒素は神経毒素（NT）と非毒素系ー非血球凝集素（NTNHA）で構成されているのに対し、L毒素はM毒素と血球凝集素（HA-70、HA-17、HA-33）によって構成されている。HA-70サブコンポーネントとHA-33/17混合体は変成剤の存在下でクロマトグラフィーによりL毒素からほぼ単一の形で得られた。著者らは、純化したM毒素、HA-70とHA-33/17を混合してL毒素を再構成することに初めて成功した。再構成したL毒素とネイティブのL毒素はゲル濾過、PAGEプロファイル、血球凝集活性、赤血球への吸着活性、マウスへの経口毒力などの諸症状が全く同じであった。トリプシン処理によりニックを持つNTNHAで構成されたM毒素はHAサブコンポーネントと一緒にしてもL毒素を再構成することが出来なかったのに対し、プロテアーゼ処理したL毒素はM毒素とHAサブコンポーネントに隔離することが出来なかった。これらの結果から、著者らはM毒素が最初にNTとNTNHAの会合により形成され、その後HA-70とHA-33/17の会合によってL毒素へ変換されると結論ずけた

Effect of the anti-parasitic compounds pyrvinium pamoate and artemisinin in enzymatic and culture assays: Data on the search for new anti-echinococcal drugs

The dataset presented herein is related to a previous research article titled “Mitochondrial Complex III in Larval Stage of Echinococcus multilocularis as a Potential Chemotherapeutic Target and in vivo Efficacy of Atovaquone Against Primary Hydatid Cysts” [1]. In this report, data were collected by screening drugs for echinococcosis. We investigated the inhibitory activities of artemisinin and pyrvinium pamoate against the mitochondrial respiratory enzymes in E. multilocularis protoscoleces. Artemisinin did not inhibit mitochondrial complexes I, II, and III. However, pyrvinium pamoate inhibited complex I at 11 μM,although complexes II and III were not inhibited. In the culture assay, E. multilocularis protoscoleces were treated with atovaquone (ATV), rotenone, praziquantel, artemisinin, and pyrvinium pamoate at a final concentration of 50 µM in different culture media. The viability of protoscoleces was compared under aerobic and anaerobic conditions via culture experiments. The survival days of E. multilocularis protoscoleces were evaluated in the drug-treated group compared with those in the non-treated group. The results of these culture assays revealed that praziquantel and artemisinin did not eliminate the protoscoleces under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. However, a stronger elimination ability was observed with the co-administration of praziquantel or artemisinin with ATV than with ATV alone under aerobic conditions. Pyrvinium pamoate completely killed protoscoleces at 5 and 7 days under aerobic and anaerobic conditions, respectively. Pyrvinium pamoate behaved identically to rotenone, the complex I inhibitor, in the culture treatment assay.The data serve as a reference for the development of novel anti-echinococcal drugs
