Gene Regulation System of Vasopressin and Corticotoropin-Releasing Hormone
The neurohypophyseal hormones, arginine vasopressin and corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), play a crucial role in the physiological and behavioral response to various kinds of stresses. Both neuropeptides activate the hypophysial-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which is a central mediator of the stress response in the body. Conversely, they receive the negative regulation by glucocorticoid, which is an end product of the HPA axis. Vasopressin and CRH are closely linked to immune response; they also interact with pro-inflammatory cytokines. Moreover, as for vasopressin, it has another important role, which is the regulation of water balance through its potent antidiuretic effect. Hence, it is conceivable that vasopressin and CRH mediate the homeostatic responses for survival and protect organisms from the external world
Analysis of the Influence of Internet TV Station on Wikipedia Page Views
We aim to investigate the influence of television on the web; if the
influence is strong, a viral effect may be expected. In this paper, we focus on
the Internet TV station and on Wikipedia use as exploratory behavior on the
web. We analyzed the influence of Internet TV station on Wikipedia page views.
Our aim is to clarify the characteristics of page views as related to Internet
TV station in order to index outward impact and develop a prediction model. The
results indicate that there is a correlation between TV viewership and page
views. Moreover we find that the time lag between TV and web gradually reduce
as broadcasts begin after 9:00; after 23:00, page views tend to be maximized
during the broadcast itself. We also differentiate between page views on PC and
on mobile and find that PC pages tend to be accessed more during the daytime.
In addition, we consider the number of broadcasts per program, and observe that
viewership tends to stabilize as the number of broadcasts increases but that
page views tend to decrease.Comment: The 3rd International Workshop on Application of Big Data for
