Fruit splitting is a preharvest physiological disorder that occurs in many commercially important fruit species, including some citrus cultivars such as Navel oranges, Valencia oranges, and some mandarins. The phenomenon is affected by both genetic background and environmental conditions, causing heavy fruit loss in splitting-prone cultivars in some years. For instance, high levels of irrigation usually enhance splitting incidence. The phenomenon initiates at the end of the summer, toward fruit maturation, and to date, there is no way to predict splitting incidence. Here, we tested the ability of nondestructive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which does not alter the dimensions of the internal fruit tissues, to predict splitting incidence in ‘Nova’ mandarin fruit populations of trees subjected to two levels of irrigation (low and high). Samples, collected about two months prior to splitting appearance, were sorted by their internal tissues dimensions. Among all measured tissues, sorted navel dimensions showed the best correlation with splitting incidence. This was determined by dividing the MRI-sampled fruits into two populations, according to the actual splitting incidence, as calculated at the end of the season. Prediction of the splitting percentage in the low irrigation fruit population was than possible in the high irrigation fruit population, and vice versa. These results demonstrated the power of MRI to predict splitting probability as early as 2 months before split fruit are found. In addition to its potential practical application, the ability to predict splitting probability in a given fruit population could help elucidate the mechanism underlying the disorder.

[Purpose] Clinicians have reported the effects of various instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) in patients. The purpose of this study was to investigated the effects of the Graston technique and general exercise on pain and range of motion (ROM) in patients with CLBP. [Subjects and Methods] 30 patients with CLBP participated in the study (Graston technique: 15; Control: 15). Before and after the 4-week intervention program, pain was assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS). Lumbar ROM was measured using a smartphone. The main effects and interaction were analyzed by two-way repeated ANOVA. [Results] A significant time-by-group interaction was observed for the VAS and ROM. A post hoc paired t-test showed that pain decreased significantly post-intervention within the Graston group. The lumbar ROM significantly increased post-intervention in both groups. [Conclusion] The Graston technique and general exercise resulted in pain relief and increased ROM. However, the Graston group showed significantly increased VAS and ROM more than control group. These findings suggest that the Graston technique can be useful as a pain decrease and ROM increase for patients with CLBP.

Objective Most small-cell lung cancers (SCLCs) are located within the central aspect of the chest and manifest as a mediastinal or hilar lymphadenopathy. Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) makes it possible to perform mediastinal and hilar nodal examinations. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of EBUS-TBNA in the diagnosis of SCLC. Methods The diagnostic performances of EBUS-TBNA and/or transesophageal bronchoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA-B/E) were calculated using the standard definitions. Patients The study consisted of a retrospective review of the medical records for all patients with histologically proven SCLC who previously underwent EBUS-TBNA and/or EUS-FNA-B/E from May 2009 to September 2014. Results The analysis was based on 161 patients and 299 aspirated specimens. The patient group included 144 males (89%); the median age was 66 years. EBUS-TBNA and/or EUS-FNA-B/E were performed in 239 mediastinal nodes, 39 hilar/interlobar nodes, and 21 lung parenchymal lesions. The median short diameter of the biopsied lesions was 17 mm. The overall sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value, positive predictive value, and accuracy of EBUS-TBNA and/or EUS-FNA-B/E on a per-person basis were 97.4%, 100%, 60%, 100%, and 97.5%, respectively. The corresponding values on a per-lesion basis were 91.8%, 100%, 73.0%, 100%, and 93.3%, respectively. There were no serious complications related to EBUS-TBNA. Conclusion In our series of patients with SCLC, EBUS-TBNA had an excellent diagnostic yield in the evaluation of mediastinal, hilar and lung parenchymal lesions. Thus, EBUS-TBNA could be a useful and safe diagnostic method with which to evaluate patients with SCLC.

Eighty-five Pyricularia isolates were collected from 29 host species of Gramineae, Bambusideae and Zingiberaceae plants sampled in Brazil, Uganda, Ivory Coast, India, Nepal, China, Indonesia and Japan.These isolates were compared on the basis of pathogenicity, mating ability and restriction fragment length polymorphisms with single-copy DNA probes.Based on the pathogenicity to eight differential gramineous plants, these isolates were classified into seven pathotypes:finger millet type, foxtail millet type, common millet type, rice type, crabgrass type, Italian ryegrass / weeping lovegrass type, and non-cereal / grass type.Genetic variation among these isolates was assessed by RFLP analysis with two restriction enzymes and nine single-copy DNA probes isolated from a finger millet strain.An UPGMA dendrogram based on the RFLPs revealed that the 85 isolates could be classified into seven major groups.Isolates from cereal crops(finger millet, foxtail millet, common millet, wheat and rice)and a grass, Brachiaria plantaginea, were clustered into a single group.They were further divided into six subgroups corresponding to the pathotypes.Among cereal crop isolates only an isolate from pearl millet was located into a different group.The remaining isolates were clustered into five groups designated as the crabgrass group, the buffelgrass and jungle rice group, the rice cutgrass, knotroot bristlegrass and Setaria tomentosa group, the bamboo and bamboo grass group and the Zingiber mioga group.The isolates from cereal crops were generally capable of mating with finger millet strains and constituted a closed mating compatibility group.These results suggested that the isolates from cereal crops from a single group with a common ancestor although they are pathogenic to taxonomically diverse plants.A combined analysis of the pathogenicity and genetic similarity suggested that the transmission of M.grisea isolates occurs in natural agroecosystems between finger millet and Eleusine africana, goosegrass or Bambusa arundinacea, between foxtail millet and green bristlegrass, and between rice and tail fescue, Italian ryegrass, sweet vernalgrass, reed canarygrass or Oryza longistaminata.

ドイツのBavariaにある養魚池群のオオヨシキリ個体群において一夫多妻繁殖のいくつかの側面について調査した。18年間に得られた、少なくとも片親が色足環で個体識別されている428巣の記録を分析の対象とした。<br>対象となった雄の数の15年間の平均は30羽/年で、そのうち11.3%は一夫多妻、13.9%は独身だった。<br>一夫多妻の第一巣では第二雌の巣よりも10日早く産卵が始まった(Fig.1)。<br>繁殖結果の統計値をTable1にまとめた。第二雌の巣立ち雛数は一夫一妻雌よりも低かったが(相対成功度は0.79)、同時期に一夫一妻だった雌とは有意に異ならなかった(相対成功度は0.85)。繁殖集団に加わることのできた巣立ち雛の割合は第一雌の雛がもっとも高かったが、一夫一妻の雛と第二雌の雛とでは有意差はなかった。したがって、一夫多妻のいき値モデルを排除することはできない。<br>雄の配偶ステータスには年齢が影響し、年長の雄がより高い割合で一夫多妻になる(Fig.2)。年齢と雌の配偶ステータスとには有意な相関はなかった(Fig.3)。雄の最年長記録は11歳、雌は10歳だった。<br>雌による配偶者選択における雄の質となわばりの質との相対的な重要性を知るために、29雄(一夫多妻4羽、一夫一妻22羽、独身3羽)を対象に、判別分析を用いて3種類のなわばりの特徴と11種類の雄の特徴(身体的な形質、年齢、さえずりのレパートリー数、攻撃性、ホルモンレベル)を分析した。一夫多妻を予測するもっとも有効な基準となるのは、開水域に面したヨシ原の縁が長いこと、攻撃性が弱いこと、さえずりのレパートリー数が多いことであった(Table2,Fig.4のaxis1)。第二の判別軸に沿っては3群の雄が十分に分離されていないが、この軸は若齢、短い翼と総排泄腔突起、レパートリー数の少なさおよび黄体形成ホルモン(LH)のレベルが低いことを表している。ヨシ原の縁の長さは営巣場所としてだけでなく、採食生態上も重要なのかもしれない。一夫多妻雄の攻撃性の低さは、それらが早い時期に渡来することとテストステロンのレベルの季節的減退によって説明できるだろう。<br>結論は次の3点である。(1)一夫多妻が生じることの説明を、以前の論文で支持された「だまし仮説」に求める必要は必ずしもない。(2)本調査地は一夫多妻のための生態的条件に関して最適な場所とは言えないが(不自然に多い魚のために餌供給が抑えられている、一夫多妻の頻度もやや低い、1雄とつがう雌数が2羽を越えることはほとんどない、雛の餓死がやや頻繁に生じる)、雌による積極的な配偶者選択を可能にするのには十分な、繁殖条件の予測可能な差異が存在するようだ。(3)雌は雄の特徴となわばりの質の両方を基に配偶者を選んでおり、雄•なわばり双方の要因には正の相関がある。

Two-dimensional Fourier transform analysis is presented as an advanced method for numerically processing the Young's fringes diffraction pattern from a double-exposure speckle photograph. The fringe spacing and orientation are determined using only one Young's fringes pattern without any other diffraction halo patterns. This algorithm is based on the 2-D FFT of the fringe pattern with 256×256 pixels. Therefore, it has enabled automatic analysis to be performed with noisy and poor fringe patterns. The measurement of deformation field by the laser speckle method can be carried out with higher accuracy, reliability and speed.

Modular architectures based on a microkernel are suitable bases for the design and implementation of operating systems. Prototype systems employing microkernel architectures are achieving the levels of functionality and performance expected and required of commercial products. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University the Open Software Foundation and other sites are investigating implementations of a number of operating systems (e.g. Unix MS-DOS) that use the Mach microkernel. This paper describes the Mach microkernel its use to support implementations of other operating systems and the status of these efforts.

Since amantadine-induced long QT syndrome has been clinically reported, we investigated its electropharmacological effects to estimate the extent of proarrhythmic risk by using the halothane-anesthetized beagle dogs (n = 4). Amantadine in doses of 0.1, 1 and 10 mg/kg was infused over 10 min with a pause of 20 min under the monitoring of multiple cardiovascular variables. J-Tpeak and Tpeak-Tend were separately measured on the lead II electrocardiogram to precisely analyze the net balance between inward and outward current modifications by amantadine. The low dose increased the ventricular contractile force, but suppressed the intraventricular conduction. The middle dose prolonged the QT interval besides enhancing the changes induced by the low dose. The high dose increased the mean blood pressure, left ventricular end-diastolic pressure and total peripheral resistance, and accelerated the atrioventricular nodal conduction, but decreased the cardiac output besides enhancing the changes induced by the middle dose. A reverse use-dependence was confirmed in the repolarization delay. Amantadine hardly affected the J-Tpeak, but prolonged the Tpeak-Tend. Amantadine can be considered to stimulate Ca2+ channel but inhibit Na+ and K+ channels in the in situ heart. J-Tpeak and Tpeak-Tend analysis suggests that amantadine may possess modest risk for arrhythmia.
