Time-dependent scattering theory for Schr\"odinger operators on scattering manifolds
We construct a time-dependent scattering theory for Schr\"odinger operators
on a manifold with asymptotically conic structure. We use the two-space
scattering theory formalism, and a reference operator on a space of the form
, where is the boundary of at infinity. We
prove the existence and the completeness of the wave operators, and show that
our scattering matrix is equivalent to the absolute scattering matrix, which is
defined in terms of the asymptotic expansion of generalized eigenfunctions. Our
method is functional analytic, and we use no microlocal analysis in this paper.Comment: 24 page
Mn-substitution effects on MgB2 superconductor
Effects of magnetic impurity on the superconductivity has been investigated
in Mg1-xMnB2. With increase of Mn concentration x, the lattice constant c
(perpendicular to the boron sheet) decreases at a rate of -1.4 % (= dlnc/dx),
while a remains nearly unchanged. The transition temperature Tc steeply
decreases with at a rate of dTc/dx = - 159 K. These results suggest that
superconducting state of the parent MgB2 is amenable to the magnetic
impurities, i.e., Mn2+.Comment: 2 pages, 5 figur

Plasticity of Cells and Ex Vivo Production of Red Blood Cells
The supply of transfusable red blood cells (RBCs) is not sufficient in many countries. If transfusable RBCs could be produced abundantly from certain resources, it would be very useful. Our group has developed a method to produce enucleated RBCs efficiently from hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells present in umbilical cord blood. More recently, it was reported that enucleated RBCs could be abundantly produced from human embryonic stem (ES) cells. The common obstacle for application of these methods is that they require very high cost to produce sufficient number of RBCs that are applicable in the clinic. If erythroid cell lines (immortalized cell lines) able to produce transfusable RBCs ex vivo were established, they would be valuable resources. Our group developed a robust method to obtain immortalized erythroid cell lines able to produce mature RBCs. To the best of our knowledge, this was the first paper to show the feasibility of establishing immortalized erythroid progenitor cell lines able to produce enucleated RBCs ex vivo. This result strongly suggests that immortalized human erythroid progenitor cell lines able to produce mature RBCs ex vivo can also be established
