  • Three patients suffering from widespread erythrodermic cutaneous T-cell lymphoma were treated with low-dose UVAI phototherapy with a single dose of 20 - 30J/$cm^2$, resulting in cumulative doses of 520 - 1890 J/$cm^2$. Two patients showed complete responses, while other had a partial improvement.

  • Fluorouracil (FU) is well known to induce discoid lupus-like eruption at the sun exposure sites in Japan. It means the associations of UVB with drug induced DLE. It is still obscure which cytokines are involved in the development of DLE. To address the issue, we established a murine model of FU and UVB-induced discoid lupus and could show the Th1 dominant cytokine profiles in DLE model of TCR $\alpha$ chain KO mice treated with FU and UVB.

  • Active-head sliders with a unimorph piezoelectric actuator for flying height control were experimentally evaluated. It was found that the normalized stroke of the actuator is 5.2 to 6 nm/V/mm without flying over the disk. However, the normalized adjustment range of flying height is about 1.6 nm/V/mm when the active-head slider is flying over the disk. This value is smaller than the measured value when the slider is not flying, because of the air pressure generated at the active pad when the pad approaches the disk surface.

  • We made a simplified eddy-current-tester, and observed some materials for the ingredients and mass and locations. The tester detects the current as frequency shifts of a LC-resonance circuit, which are caused by the eddy currents. Using air-wick coil and a multi-piled ceramic capacitor, we made a resonance system whose frequency was 100KHz. The shift quantity is few; so, to detect it, we used a frequency counter, and counted the shift. We can detect 10Hz order's shift.

  • Osteoblasts (MC3T3-E1) were cultured on polysaccharide type polyelectrolyte complex (PEC). The growth of the MC3T3-E1 on the PEC with carbxyl group (c-type) was slightly suppressed and exhibited aggregation morphology. On the other hand, cell growth on the PEC with sulfate group (s-type) was enhanced and the cell exhibited spreading form. Differentiation markers of osteoblast (ALPase activity, calcification, expression of osteocalsin) were enhanced and localized around cell aggregates on c-type PECs. These results suggest that PEC has the ability to control osteoblast proliferation and differentiation.

  • This paper is introducing a radio control helicopter as a new platform of ground truth measurement. This helicopter is normally used for spraying an agricultural chemical. It can do pinpoint hovering and programing flight using DGPS etc., A spectrometer with dual port can measure ground surface and white reference plate at the same time. And it can also take digital images by digital camera. It is needed to collect ground reflectance information as satellite sensor footprint size for satellite data validation. Generally it is possible to get such ground reflectance by an airplane measurement. But it is high cost and not so easy to make a measurement by airplane. Developed validation system can provide such ground reflectance in low cost and easy.

  • When the data from the artificial satellite is analyzed, recent years it is perceived to vegetation index using BRF(Bidirectional Reflectance Factor) of the observation target. To make the BRF models, it is important to measure the 3D structure of the observation target actually. In this study, it is proposed to the observation technique by using laser scanning data. Also, our team has been operating the radio controlled helicopter which can fly over the tall forest canopy and it can be equipped the measurement system.

  • Velocity and density distributions of a high-speed and initial $CO_{2}$ jet flow have been analyzed simultaneously by a developed three-dimensional digital speckle tomography and a particle image velocimetry(PIV). Three high-speed cameras have been used for tomography and PIV since a shape of a nozzle for the jet flow is asymmetric and the initial flow is fast and unsteady, The speckle movements between no flow and $CO_{2}$ jet flow have been obtained by a cross-correlation tracking method so that those distances can be transferred to deflection angles of laser rays for density gradients. The three-dimensional density fields for the high-speed $CO_{2}$ jet flow have been reconstructed from the deflection angles by a real-time tomography method and the two-dimensional velocity fields have been calculated by a PIV method simultaneously and instantaneously.

  • A Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifold M$(\varphi, \zeta, \eta, g)$ (abr. LPS-manifold) has been defined and studied in [9] and [10]. On the other hand, para-Sasakian (abr. PS)-manifolds are special semi-cosympletic manifolds (in the sense of [2]), that is, they are endowed with an almost cosympletic 2-form $\Omega$ such that $d^{2\eta}\Omega = \psi(d^\omega$ denotes the cohomological operator [6]), where the 3-form $\psi$ is the associated Lefebvre form of $\Omega$ ([8]). If $\eta$ is exact, $\psi$ is a $d^{2\eta}$-exact form, the manifold M is called an exact Ps-manifold. Clearly, any LPS-manifold is endowed with a semi-cosymplectic structure (abr. SC-structure).

  • Bis(2-thienyl)-diketopyrrolopyrrole having two $Zn^{II}$-cylcens (DPPCy) was synthesized. DPP-aggregates were constructed by self-organization of DPPCy and $dT_n$-DNAs. In the presence of L-ascorbic acid as an electron sacrifice reagent, the DPP aggregates immobilized on a gold electrode exhibit good anodic photocurrent responses as well as cathodic photocurrent responses in the presence of methyl viologen. The anodic photocurrent responses depend on the DNA lengths because of the formation of uniform DPP-aggregates corresponding to the DNA lengths. The present results show that photocurrent responses of the DPP-aggregates can be controlled by DNA lengths and electron sacrifice reagents.
