    Notes: Abstract DNase γ, which cleaves chromosomal DNA into nucleosomal units (DNA ladder formation), has been suggested to be the critical component of apoptotic machinery. Using rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells, which are differentiated to sympathetic neurons by nerve growth factor (NGF), we investigated whether DNase γ-like enzyme is present in neuronal cells and is involved in neuronal cell death. The nuclear auto-digestion assay for DNase catalyzing internucleosomal DNA cleavage revealed that nuclei from neuronal differentiated PC12 cells contain acidic and neutral endonucleases, while nuclei from undifferentiated PC12 cells have only acidic endonuclease. The DNA ladder formation observed in isolated nuclei from neuronal differentiated PC12 cells at neutral pH requires both Ca2+ and Mg2+, and is sensitive to Zn2+. The molecular mass of the neutral endonuclease present in neuronal differentiated PC12 cell nuclei is 32000 as determined by activity gel analysis (zymography). The properties of the neuronal endonuclease present in neuronal differentiated PC12 cell nuclei were similar to those of purified DNase γ from rat thymocytes and splenocytes. Interestingly, in neuronal differentiated PC12 cells, internucleosomal DNA fragmentation is observed following NGF deprivation, whereas undifferentiated PC12 cells fail to exhibit DNA ladder formation during cell death by serum starvation. These results suggest that the DNase γ-like endonuclease present in neuronal differentiated PC12 cell nuclei is involved in internucleosomal DNA fragmentation during apoptosis, induced by NGF deprivation.

    Notes: Abstract Three dimensional granular flow experiments were carried out on a ski jump with 300,000 ping-pong balls. Since the air drag was a large effect, the flow arrived at a steady state within a short distance. The terminal velocities attained showed a remarkable increase with the number of released balls. In addition, the flow formed a distinct head and tail structure, which has often been observed in large-scale geophysical flows in nature. Similarity analysis is used to show that the experiment corresponds to a natural snow avalanche that runs for several kilometers. Video cameras positioned above the flow allowed the measurement of the location and the distance of a single ball, which finally led to the particle velocity profiles. The static pressure depression measurements in and above the flow showed the air velocity profiles and suggested the strong interaction between the balls and the surrounding fluid(air). Computer simulation of 3-dimensional, inhomogeneous two-phase flows that uses the DEM for the particles and the Reynolds-averaged Navier Stokes equations for the fluid are currently in progress.

    Notes: Abstract Snow cloud growth rates of powder snow avalanche were obtained with analysing the pictures recorded in Ryggfonn, Norway. Although results showed wide scattering, as far as the data obtained in runout zone are concerned, they roughly agreed with the water tank experiments by Beghin and Olagne (1991). Air movement in snow avalanche cloud was measured with an ultra-sonic anemometer in Kurobe Canyon, Japan. It showed rising current existed near the front and downward at the trail. Comparing with drifting snow threshold and particle suspension criterion, entrainment, suspension and deposition of snow particles in the snow cloud were discussed.

    Notes: Abstract A method has been developed to detect trehalose in yeast extracts down to 10mM. A crude yeast extract was prepared by rapidly heating filtered cells to 95°C. Trehalose was separated using an ion exchange HPLC connected to an electrochemical detector.

    Notes: Abstract Freeze-fracturing of outer wall layers ofCladosporium conidia revealed two types of ultrastructure, coinciding with taxonomic characteristics. The outer conidial layers were essentially smooth in the human pathogenic species,C. bantianum, C. carrionii, andC. trichoides. In contrast, mosaic arrays of rodlets on conidia were observed with freeze-fracturing in the saprobic species,C. cladosporioides, C. coralloides, C. herbarum, C. sphaerospermum, andC. variabile. Conidia ofC. elatum were an exception among the saprobic species as they had smooth surfaces. The present study supports the suggestion that the human pathogenicCladosporium species should be transferred to another genus.

    Notes: Abstract Trimmatostroma abietis initially grew as hyphae when grown in various media containing yeast extract or bactopeptone. It grew as segmented elements (lumbricoid elements) characterized by bidirectional growth, when grown in Czapek-Dox broth or yeast nitrogen base supplemented with 1% glucose. A lumbricoid element usually was 10–70 μm in length, with transverse septation only and contained 3 to 15 cells. Growth and propagation, as revealed by time-lapse photomicrography occurred as follows. Elements usually grew by apical elongation without widening; after simple apical elongation adjacent parts of two central cells eventually started to grow, resulting in the separation of the element into two.

    Notes: Abstract Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was examined in 36 isolates ofExophiala spinifera (8 isolates from Brazil, 9 from China, 15 from Columbia, 1 from the United States and 2 from Venezuela).E. spinifera isolates displayed a high degree of mtDNA diversity in RFLP patterns and were clustered into six genetically heterogeneous groups (Group 1 through Group 6). Isolates of Group 2 including the type strain seemed to have a worldwide distribution. RFLP patterns ofE. spinifera were also distinct from those of other dematiaceous fungi, such asE. jeanselmei, E. moniliae, E. dermatitidis, Fonsecaea pedrosoi, Cladosporium carrionii andPhialophora verrucosa. These results indicate thatE. spinifera may be a taxonomic complex and that RFLP patterns will be useful in the identification, typing and epidemiology of theE. spinifera variants.

    Notes: Abstract A Cournot model with an arbitrary nonlinear demand function and where firms do notobserve their rival's actions directly is shown to allow mistaken beliefs to persist. Thesealter the original equilibrium state and, in a range of beliefs, destroy its stability and createcycles. The dynamics of the Cournot model are therefore fundamentally affected.

    Notes: Abstract We formulate a class of dynamic games which consists of so‐called capital accumulationgames. In such games, rival firms invest strategically in a stock of physical capital. Thecapital stocks of all firms in the industry are the state variables of the game and firms usethe rate of change of the capital stocks as their control variables. It is assumed that currentprofits of a firm are not only dependent on the firm's own capital stock, but also on thestock of capital of the rival firm. We prove existence of multiple Markov Perfect Equilibria(MPE) and study their qualitative characteristics. It turns out that there exist two differenttypes of equilibria: a strict equilibrium that is degenerate and coincides with the uniqueopen‐loop one and so‐called indifferent equilibria that are non‐strict. For both types, westudy the equilibrium dynamics. While the strict equilibrium is characterized by simpleequilibrium dynamics, the indifferent equilibria may exhibit complex dynamic behaviour.
