Two dimensional scaling of resistance in flux flow region in thin films
The resistance of thin films has been measured when the
angle between the applied fields and -plane of the film is changed
continuously at various temperatures. Under various magnetic fields, the
resistance can be well scaled in terms of the c-axis component of the applied
fields at the same temperature in the whole angle range. Meanwhile, we show
that the measurement of resistance in this way is a complementary method to
determine the growth orientation of the anisotropic high- superconductors.Comment: 11 pages, 8 figures. Have been published in Physica

Transport Measurements on Nano-engineered Two Dimensional Superconducting Wire Networks
Superconducting triangular Nb wire networks with high normal-state resistance
are fabricated by using a negative tone hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ) resist.
Robust magnetoresistance oscillations are observed up to high magnetic fields
and maintained at low temperatures, due to the eective reduction of wire
dimensions. Well-defined dips appear at integral and rational values (1/2, 1/3,
1/4) of the reduced flux f = Phi/Phi_0, which is the first observation in the
triangular wire networks. These results are well consistent with theoretical
calculations for the reduced critical temperature as a function of f.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
Novel D-hordein-like HMW glutenin sequences isolated from Psathyrostachys juncea by thermal asymmetric interlaced PCR
New high-molecular-weight glutenin (HMW glutenin) sequences isolated from six Psathyrostachys juncea accessions by thermal asymmetric interlaced PCR differ from previous sequences from this species. They showed novel modifications in all of the structural domains, with unique C-terminal residues, and their N-terminal lengths were the longest among the HMW glutenins reported to date. In their repetitive domains, there were three repeatable motif units: 13-residue [GYWH(/I/Y)YT(/Q)S(/T)VTSPQQ], hexapeptide (PGQGQQ), and tetrapeptide (ITVS). The 13-residue repeats were restricted to the current sequences, while the tetrapeptides were only shared by D-hordein and the current sequences. However, these sequences were not expressed as normal HMW glutenin proteins because an in-frame stop codon located in the C-termini interrupted the intact open reading frames. A phylogenetic analysis supported different origins of the P. juncea HMW glutenin sequences than that revealed by a previous study. The current sequences showed a close relationship with D-hordein but appeared to be more primitive
Matter rogue wave in Bose-Einstein condensates with attractive atomic interaction
We investigate the matter rogue wave in Bose-Einstein Condensates with
attractive interatomic interaction analytically and numerically. Our results
show that the formation of rogue wave is mainly due to the accumulation of
energy and atoms toward to its central part; Rogue wave is unstable and the
decay rate of the atomic number can be effectively controlled by modulating the
trapping frequency of external potential. The numerical simulation demonstrate
that even a small periodic perturbation with small modulation frequency can
induce the generation of a near-ideal matter rogue wave. We also give an
experimental protocol to observe this phenomenon in Bose-Einstein Condensates

Reconstruction of bladder function and prevention of renal deterioration by means of end-to-side neurorrhaphy in rats with neurogenic bladder
AIMS: To investigate the feasibility of restoring bladder function and prevention of renal deterioration by neurorrhaphy in rats with neurogenic bladder (NB). METHODS: Forty-two rats were assigned to the end-to-side nerve coaptation group (ECG, n = 16), no nerve coaptation group (NCG, n = 16), and control group (CG, n = 10). In the ECG, the left ventral root (VR) and dorsal root (DR) of L6 and S1 were transected, and the distal stump of L6VR was sutured to the lateral face of L4VR. In the NCG, the left VR and DR of L6 and S1 were transected, but coaptation was not performed. In the CG, no operation was performed. Nerve regeneration, bladder function, and renal function were evaluated by FluoroGold (FG) retrograde tract tracing, cystometry, electrical stimulation, MRI, histology and biochemical assays. RESULTS: In the ECG, FG-labeled neurons were observed in the left ventral horn of L4 spinal cord. There was a significant increase in intravesical pressure upon stimulation of the left L4VR proximal to the coaptation. Maximum cystometric capacity, post-void residual urine, bladder compliance and weight, serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, and fibrotic area of bladder and kidney were lower in the ECG than in the NCG, but higher than the CG. Hydronephrosis was noticed in ECG and NCG rats. Maximum detrusor voiding pressure was higher in the ECG and CG than in the NCG. CONCLUSIONS: End-to-side neurorrhaphy is a useful method for restoring bladder function and preventing renal injury in rats with NB
