Journal ArticleDOI
Surface Anchoring of Nematic Liquid Crystals
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors make a distinction between macroscopic and microscopic approaches toward the substrate-nematic interface, and the significance of the Gibbs' dividing surface is emphasized together with some thermodynamic properties of the anchoring strength and pretilt angle.
Journal ArticleDOI
IL‐1 is required for allergen‐specific Th2 cell activation and the development of airway hypersensitivity response
Susumu Nakae,Yutaka Komiyama,Hiroshi Yokoyama,Aya Nambu,Masaomi Umeda,Michiko Iwase,Ikuo Homma,Katsuko Sudo,Reiko Horai,Masahide Asano,Masahide Asano,Yoichiro Iwakura +11 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the ovalbumin-induced airway hypersensitivity response (AHR) in IL-1alpha/beta-deficient mice was significantly reduced from the levels seen in wild-type mice, whereas the responses seen inIL-1Ra(-/-) mice were profoundly exacerbated, suggesting that IL- 1 is required for T(h)2 cell activation during AHR.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parasitic diseases of cultured marine fish in Japan
Kazuo Ogawa,Hiroshi Yokoyama +1 more
TL;DR: Future efforts to control marine infections should be directed not only to chemical treatments, but also to biological measures, and to prophylaxis and quarantine through parasite detection and early diagnosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temperature dependence of the anchoring strength at a nematic liquid crystal‐evaporated SiO interface
TL;DR: In this paper, the anchoring strength at the interface between 4n−n−pentyl−4'−cyanobiphenyl (5CB) and an obliquely evaporated SiO was measured as a function of temperature by applying the high electric field technique.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitrogen removal from animal waste treatment water by anammox enrichment.
TL;DR: Comparison of the inorganic nitrogen removal rate of the actual wastewater and that of control artificial wastewater showed that these two kinds of wastewater were very suitable for anammox treatment.
