Nanosilicon dot arrays with a bit pitch and a track pitch of 25 nm formed by electron-beam drawing and reactive ion etching for 1 Tbit/in.2 storage
The formation of very fine Si dots with a bit pitch and a track pitch of less than 25 nm using
electron-beam (EB) lithography on ZEP520 and calixarene EB resists and CF4 reactive ion etching
has been demonstrated. The experimental results indicate that the calixarene resist is very suitable
for forming an ultrahigh-packed bit array pattern of Si dots. This result promises to open the way
toward 1 Tbit/in.2 storage using patterned media with a dot size of <15 nm
Elastic Convection in Vibrated Viscoplastic Fluids
We observe a new type of behavior in a shear thinning yield stress fluid:
freestanding convection rolls driven by vertical oscillation. The convection
occurs without the constraint of container boundaries yet the diameter of the
rolls is spontaneously selected for a wide range of parameters. The transition
to the convecting state occurs without hysteresis when the amplitude of the
plate acceleration exceeds a critical value. We find that a non-dimensional
stress, the stress due to the inertia of the fluid normalized by the yield
stress, governs the onset of the convective motion.Comment: 4 pages, 6 figure
Strain Rate Concentration Factor for Double-Edge-Notched Specimens Subjected to High Speed Tensile Loads
Engineering plastics provide superior performance to ordinary plastics for wide range of the use. For polymer materials, dynamic stress and strain rate may be major factors to be considered when the strength is evaluated. Recently, high speed tensile test is being recognized as a standard testing method to confirm the strength under dynamic loads. In this study, therefore, high speed tensile test is analyzed by the finite element method; then, the maximum dynamic stress and strain rate are discussed with varying the tensile speed and maximum forced displacement. The strain rate concentration factor found to be constant independent of tensile speed, which is defined Ktέ as the maximum strain rate appeared at the notch root over the average nominal strain rate at the minimum section. The maximum strain rate is controlled by the tensile speed alone independent of the magnitude of the forced displacement. It is found that the difference between static and dynamic maximum stress concentration (σmax-σst) at the notch root is proportional to the tensile speed when u/t≦5000mm/s.13th International Conference on Fracture, June 16–21, 2013, Beijing, Chin
Mother-to-embryo vitellogenin transport in a viviparous teleost Xenotoca eiseni
魚類がお腹の子供に与える栄養素を解明 --哺乳類が失った遺伝子を利用して胎生機構を獲得--. 京都大学プレスリリース. 2019-10-09.Vitellogenin (Vtg), a yolk nutrient protein that is synthesized in the livers of female animals, and subsequently carried into the ovary, contributes to vitellogenesis in oviparous animals. Thus, Vtg levels are elevated during oogenesis. In contrast, Vtg proteins have been genetically lost in viviparous mammals, thus the yolk protein is not involved in their oogenesis and embryonic development. In this study, we identified Vtg protein in the livers of females during the gestation of the viviparous teleost, Xenotoca eiseni. Although vitellogenesis is arrested during gestation, biochemical assays revealed that Vtg protein was present in ovarian tissues and lumen fluid. The Vtg protein was also detected in the trophotaeniae of the intraovarian embryo. Immunoelectron microscopy revealed that Vtg protein is absorbed into intracellular vesicles in the epithelial cells of the trophotaeniae. Furthermore, extraneous Vtg protein injected into the abdominal cavity of a pregnant female was subsequently detected in the trophotaeniae of the intraovarian embryo. Our data suggest that the yolk protein is one of the matrotrophic factors supplied from the mother to the intraovarian embryo during gestation in X. eiseni

Search for Cosmic-ray Boosted Sub-GeV Dark Matter using Recoil Protons at Super-Kamiokande
We report a search for cosmic-ray boosted dark matter with protons using the
0.37 megatonyears data collected at Super-Kamiokande experiment during
the 1996-2018 period (SKI-IV phase). We searched for an excess of proton
recoils above the atmospheric neutrino background from the vicinity of the
Galactic Center. No such excess is observed, and limits are calculated for two
reference models of dark matter with either a constant interaction
cross-section or through a scalar mediator. This is the first experimental
search for boosted dark matter with hadrons using directional information. The
results present the most stringent limits on cosmic-ray boosted dark matter and
exclude the dark matter-nucleon elastic scattering cross-section between
and for dark matter mass
from 10 MeV/ to 1 GeV/.Comment: With 1-page appendi
