The impact of vehicle emissions on the global climate has drawn increasing concern in the past few decades. Patterns of housing development determine travel behaviors, thus affecting transport-related greenhouse gas emissions. Here, we establish a bi-level model to describe the relationships among housing allocation, traffic volume, and CO2 emissions using a continuum modeling approach. The user-equilibrium condition is achieved in the lower-level, and the minimum CO2 emissions are obtained by optimization the housing allocation in the upper-level. We consider a hypothetical city with one central business district (CBD) and a road network that is densely distributed outside of the CBD. Several commuter classes with different values of time are considered. The finite element method, the Newton-Raphson algorithm, and the convex combination approach are applied to solve the constrained optimization problem established in the bi-level model. A numerical example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.

As an important process for reverse engineering, automatic registration is usually divided in two steps, the coarse one and the fine one. In coarse step, an initial estimate for relative rigid-body transform can be brought to realization by searching some similar geometry, and guessing the corresponding region,. In fine step, highly accurate alignment can be achieved by searching an approximate correspondence repeatedly. For two steps, researching on the first one is more important, because the coarse step will requires more computation time and the accuracy will affect the next step. Various methods such as Genetic algorithms, geometric histogram, graduated assignment, feature matching were submitted or applied. However those methods either need large computing time or only can be used upon the satisfaction of some limited conditions. In this paper, a new method base on CDCP model, including location descriptors, classification descriptors and direction descriptor, was .location descriptors and direction descriptors can provide the necessary information for matching the corresponding points, and classification descriptors can make this process more accurate and efficiency. Experimental results of three 3D images taken by laser scanner are carried out to compare the registration results of proposed method with other twins, and proposed method can be confirmed make the coarse registration process be high speedily without any limited condition.

Nitrite oxidation is a key step in nitrogen removal in biological wastewater treatment plants. Recently, two phylogenetically different Nitrospira (sublineages I and II) have been recognized as the numerically dominant nitrite-oxidizing bacteria in wastewater treatment plants. However, Nitrospira sublineage II inhabiting activated sludge was not isolated and its detailed properties were unclear. In this study, we developed a new method for the isolation of Nitrospira forming micro-colonies using a cell sorter. We obtained a novel pure strain “Nitrospira japonica” from the activated sludge. Subsequently, phylogenetic and physiological analyses revealed that Nitrospira japonica belongs to sublineage II and grew in medium containing formate. This method has the potential to isolate other uncultured microorganisms forming micro-colonies.

今回著者らは, 日常のさまざまな咀嚼習慣のなかでの食物性状の選択という問題が生活習慣病発症に及ぼす影響を明らかにする目的で, ラットを用いて, 異なった性状の飼料での飼育時の糖代謝の違いを検討した.Wistar系ラットを4週齢時より, 成分は同一で固形状または粉末状と性状の異なる飼料のみで飼育し, 絶食後にグルコースを経口投与し, 血糖値の推移を検討した.その結果, グルコース投与後の血糖値は, 42週齢以前では両群間に有意差がなかったが, 45, 48, 51週齢時には有意差が認められ, すべて粉食群は固形食群より大きな値を示した.また, 血糖値の最大値は3つの週齢時とも粉食群は固形食群に比較して遅延して発現するとともに, 粉食群は血糖値の高い状態が持続した.また, 糖代謝に差異の認められた週齢時には, 両群間の体重にも差異が認められ, 粉食群が固形食群より大きな値を示した.これらのことより, 育成時における飼料の性状に伴う咀嚼機能の促進が成長後 (45週齢以降) の糖代謝の充進に寄与することが明らかとなった.また, 咀嚼習慣や食習慣に関する指導が生活習慣病予防や治療の一つとなる可能性が示唆された.

Background: Physicians are frequently studied as a population that experiences extremely high stress, burnout, and prolonged working hours that might harm one's health. However, they have sound medical knowledge and have easy access to medical resources. We studied the incidence of cancer among Taiwanese physicians using a nationwide cohort study design. Methods: Data were obtained from the National Health Insurance (NHI) system in Taiwan. The physician cohort contained 22,309 physicians, and each physician was randomly frequency-matched according to age and sex with 4 people from the general population. Results: The overall incidence ratio of cancer was 27% lower in the physician cohort than in the nonphysician comparison cohort (33.9 vs. 46.5 people per 10,000 person-years, crude hazard ratio (HR)=0.73, 95% CI=0.70, 0.76). The adjusted HR was 0.78 (95% CI=0.72, 0.84). Female physicians experienced a higher incidence rate ratio of overall cancer, compared to male physicians (crude HR=1.17, 95% CI=1.03, 1.33 vs. crude HR=0.70, 95% CI=0.67, 0.74, respectively). Physicians were at a significantly higher risk of thyroid cancer (HR 1.75, 95% CI=1.14, 2.68), prostate cancer (HR=1.54, 95% CI=1.21, 1.97), breast cancer (HR=1.45, 95% CI=1.00, 2.09), and non-cervical gynecological cancer (HR=4.03, 95% CI=1.77, 9.17), compared with the general population. Conclusions: Physicians are at lower overall risk of cancer than the general population, apart from cancer of the thyroid, prostate, breast, and non-cervical gynecological cancer.(J Occup Health 2013; 55: 158–166)

Three main theories exist concerning the concept of happiness: the hedonism theory, the desire fulfillment theory, and the objective list theory. The hedonism theory states that happiness has pleasure or pleasurable mental states as its only required component. According to the desire fulfillment theory, happiness is obtained when one's desires are fulfilled. In the objective list theory, the pursuit of certain things contributes to happiness, regardless of whether these are desired or lead to pleasurable mental states.John Stuart Mill is often labeled a hedonist because he wrote, “By happiness is intended pleasure, and the absence of pain; by unhappiness, pain, and the privation of pleasure”. However, some of his writings also indicate that he accepts the desire fulfillment theory and the objective list theory as well. Many different interpretations have therefore been presented concerning Mill's concept of happiness, and in this paper I examine some of the main interpretations and clarify Mill's concept of happiness.I propose that Mill's fundamental position is hedonism, but argue that his concept of happiness was consistent with some elements of the objective list theoryes. When considering elements of the objective list theory, he admits that happiness comprises the pursuit of certain things for themselves; however, he does not agree that such things contribute to happiness regardless of their pleasantness.My interpretation of Mill's concept of happiness is consistent with the evolution of his thought as it developed away from Benthamic hedonism and later incorporated Romanticism.

Colopexy was accomplished in eight healthy mixed-breed dogs by use of a 3-portal laparoscopic technique without major intraoperative and postoperative complications. A permanent adhesion between the colon and the abdominal wall was observed. Concentrations of acute-phase C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured in serum as a marker of systemic inflammation postoperatively, and no relevant increase in CRP concentrations was found.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the possible protection of resveratrol against lung injury induced by arsenic trioxide (As2O3). Twenty-four healthy Chinese Dragon Li cats of either sex were randomly divided into four groups: control (1 ml/kg physiological saline), As2O3 (1 mg/kg), resveratrol (3 mg/kg) and resveratrol (3 mg/kg) + As2O3 (1 mg/kg). The resveratrol + As2O3- treated group was given resveratrol 1 hr before As2O3 (1 mg/kg) administration. We found that pretreatment with resveratrol in a clinically comparable dose regimen can reversed the changes in morphological and biochemical parameters induced by As2O3 in the lung. Resveratrol treatment also upregulated the activities of antioxidant enzymes and attenuated As2O3-induced increases in reactive oxygen species, 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine and malondialdehyde production in the lung. In addition, resveratrol attenuated the As2O3-induced reduction in the ratio of reduced glutathione to oxidized glutathione, the content of total glutathione and lung arsenic burden. These findings indicated that resveratrol can provide significant protection against As2O3-induced oxidative damage.

In healthy male dogs, peripheral plasma testosterone (T), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and seminal plasma PGE2 levels were measured before, during and after ejaculation, and semen quality was examined after oral administration of PGE2. Plasma T and PGE2 levels did not change during these periods, but the seminal plasma PGE2 level of combined the first and second fractions was significantly higher than those at 0–5 and 5–10 min after the start of ejaculation of the third fraction. Semen volume but not quality increased after PGE2 administration. In conclusion, large amounts of PGE2 are released from the prostate gland during the early part of ejaculation, and PGE2 plays an essential role in secretion of seminal plasma.

Lyme disease Borrelia spp. are transmitted by Ixodes ticks, and more than 10 species of borreliae have been identified around the world. Recently, another Borrelia sp. has been reported in Asia (Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan and Thailand) as Borrelia valaisiana-related sp. In the present study, we obtained and genetically characterized 19 B. valaisiana-related sp. strains from mammals and ticks. Genetic analyses showed that the Borrelia strains were distinct from B. valaisiana found in Europe. Multilocus sequence typing revealed that these Borrelia isolates formed a monophyletic group with B. yangtze strains in China. Some of the strains were isolated from the bladders of small mammals, and also two strains were experimentally confirmed to be infectious in C3H/HeN mice. We observed that the Borrelia sp. was maintained in the Ixodes granulatus tick after molting. These results suggested that small mammals and I. granulatus were possible reservoir hosts and the vector tick for the Borrelia sp., respectively. B. valaisiana, originally found in Europe, was transmitted mainly by I. ricinus, and birds were mainly thought to be reservoir hosts. Our results suggested that Japanese isolates of B. yangtze (formerly B. valaisiana-related sp.) were distinguishable from B. valaisiana according to the reservoir host and its vector tick. In this study, we also deposited borrelia strain Okinawa-CW62 into bioresource centers as a reference strain of B. yangtze(=DSM 24625, JCM 17189).

The objective of the present study was to determine an optimum temperature and extender for short-term transport of canine ejaculated semen. There was no significant difference on the qualities of semen diluted two kinds of extender, egg yolk Tris-citrate fructose (EYT-FC) or glucose (EYT-GC) extender between the 2°C or 8°C or 12°C and 4°C control groups during storage for up to 48 hr, while the 16–24°C groups showed decreased sperm motility during storage for 48 hr. However, 2°C group showed slightly lower sperm motility and slightly higher sperm abnormality than 4°C group. Therefore, we concluded that semen qualities can be maintained for up to 48 hr when canine semen samples are extended with EYT-FC or EYT-GC and stored at the range of 4–12°C.

A fully screen-printed electrode chip was fabricated for glucose detection. The utility of the screen-printed electrode chip based on a Japanese paper was demonstrated through the determination of glucose using the reaction of glucose oxidase with tetrathiafulvalene. The calibration curve showed good linearity in the concentration range 10 to 100 mM, with a slope of 0.055 μA mM−1. The paper-based electrode chip is potentially applicable for point-of-care monitoring because it is easy to use, inexpensive, and readily disposable.

Stable isotopes in snow on sea ice were observed in the Canadian Arctic Sea. Twenty-three snowpack and four new snow samples were collected along the length of expedition on foot from March to May in 2011. Stable isotopes in snow ranged from -25 to -35‰ in δ18O and from 3 to 13‰ in d-excess, and the local meteoric water line (LMWL) is δD=8.4*δ18O+18.7. There are no relationships between δ18O in snow and surface air temperature in this study. Temporal variation of δ18O in snow is influenced by the direction of moisture flux, low (high) δ18O in snow exists when southwesterly (northerly or easterly) moisture flux dominants.
