    Notes: Fe-(SiO2) granular films were fabricated by sputtering with a mosaic target. The fractional area of iron on the target was varied from 0.29 to 0.42. The volume fraction of iron was found from the saturation magnetization to be within 0.03 of that predicted by the target composition. The sample coercivities ranged from Hc = 130 to 950 Oe at room temperature and 690 to 2390 Oe at 77 K. Characteristics relevant for recording media were investigated for the highest-coercivity sample. The squareness values for hysteresis loops measured in and out of the plane of the film, Mr/Ms = 0.54 and 0.43, respectively, indicate that the granules have a uniaxial anisotropy and the easy axes tend to lie more in the plane of the film. The rotational hysteresis was measured at room temperature; the rotational hysteresis integral was calculated to be Ir = 1.56. Because the magnetization reversal is assisted by thermal fluctuation, the low temperature value of Ir was estimated by scaling the measured value by the ratio of the coercivities measured at 77 K and at room temperature. The value of Ir ≈ 0.6 is closest to the theoretical value for the coherent rotation mechanism. The relative decay of magnetization between 30 and 3600 s had a maximum value of ΔM/Ms = 0.10 for a reversal field near Hc. This value falls within the range of the values reported for conventional particulate media, which suggests that a stable transition can be recorded in this material.

    Notes: Flat plastic targets were directly irradiated and accelerated by partially coherent light from the GEKKO XII laser [Yamanaka et al., IEEE J. Quantum Electron. QE-17, 1639 (1981)] with the wavelength of 0.53 μm in order to investigate initial laser imprinting. The growth of the perturbation imprinted on the target by an initial foot pulse modulated with a single spatial frequency was observed by the face-on x-ray backlight technique. Imprint levels produced by the foot beam with a stationary intensity modulation of the illumination profile and with a dynamically changing modulation were successfully obtained by an image relay technique and the improved two-wavelength Young's interference method. Simple analytic models are proposed and compared with the experimental results. Stationary imprinting with perturbation wavelength longer than the target thickness is found to be well described by a simple incompressible model. The dynamic dependence of the imprint on the time scale of the temporal illumination profile is found to be qualitatively explained by linear perturbation analysis. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We designed an impedance tuner consisting of an inductive material, FINEMET, to cancel the space charge impedance in the longitudinal direction. It was installed in the KEK Proton Synchrotron (PS) main ring. We observed the frequency shift of the coherent quadrupole oscillations and inferred the shift of the incoherent synchrotron oscillation. The total reactive impedance can be estimated as the coefficient between the shift and the beam intensity. The measured impedance is reduced from −j2475Ω to −j1182Ω by the impedance tuner which consists of 12 pieces of FINEMET cores. We demonstrated that the space charge impedance is compensated by the impedance tuner. This is the first time for FINEMET to be equipped with an accelerator component. One may think that the characteristics of FINEMET deteriorate under an environment with strong radiation generated by unavoidable beam loss. We have proved that the radiation dose not affect FINEMET even with a total neutron dose of 1.83×1012(n cm−2), which is considered to be the highest dose of the main ring. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The maximum energy products, (BH)max, of isotropic Nd-Fe-B-based nanocomposite magnets were calculated by a three dimensional model (10×10×10) that incorporated non-uniform magnetization reversals by subdivisions of the grains. Based on the results of our simulation, the largest obtainable (BH)max for a sample with 60% soft and 40% hard grains is about 290 kJ/m3. This value is lower than the previous crude estimate of 400 kJ/m3 but is almost twice as large as the experimental measured maximum of 160 kJ/m3 suggesting that further improvement in (BH)max is possible if the nanostructure of an actual magnet can made close to the theoretically ideal structure. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Aims:  Adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma (ACP) resembles histologically some odontogenic tumours, such as ameloblastoma and calcifying odontogenic cyst. However, there has been no evidence that ACP differentiates also functionally as odontogenic epithelium. The aim of this study was to gain evidence of odontogenic epithelial differentiation in ACP by means of immunohistochemistry. Among normal human tissues, enamel proteins are expressed exclusively in teeth, and lymphoid enhancer factor 1 (LEF1), in co-operation with β-catenin, play an important role in tooth development. The expression of these proteins is therefore indicative of odontogenic epithelial differentiation.Methods and results:  The expression of enamel proteins and LEF1 was examined in 10 adamantinomatous and six papillary craniopharyngiomas. All the ACPs showed a variable degree of enamel protein expression, including amelogenin, enamelin and enamelysin, mainly in ghost cells. LEF1 was also heterogeneously expressed in ACPs; remarkably, its expression pattern was identical to that of nuclear β-catenin accumulation. In contrast, none of the papillary craniopharyngiomas expressed enamel proteins or LEF1.Conclusions:  These results suggest that ACP consistently shows odontogenic epithelial differentiation. Since ACPs harbour β-catenin mutation, the inappropriate activation of β-catenin/LEF1 complex-dependent transcription may play a critical role in ACP tumorigenesis.

    Notes: The object of this study was to determine the details of morphological dynamics of spermatogenesis in Syrian hamsters exposed to both short photoperiod and low ambient temperature. Eight-week-old male hamsters, kept in a long photoperiod (14 h L, 10 h D), were transferred to a short photoperiod (6 h L, 18 h D) and kept there for 13 weeks to induce testicular regression. Some hamsters were then transferred from the room at 23°C to that at 5°C (5°C group). Remaining hamsters were continuously kept at 23°C (23°C group). Thereafter, the morphology was examined. As a result, it took only 8 weeks until spermatogenesis recovered in the 23°C group. However, it was not until 20 weeks that spermatogenesis was recognized in the 5°C group. As the regulation of seasonal testicular activity is characterized by coordinated shifts in the relationships among mitosis, meiosis, and apoptosis, the changes in the proliferative and apoptotic activities were examined. Although no significant difference in proliferative activity of spermatogonia between the 5°C and the 23°C groups was confirmed, a notable increase in the rate of apoptosis was observed in the 5°C group. Furthermore, this increase was more salient during the hibernation period. These findings suggest that both cold ambient temperature and hibernation caused the delay of testicular recrudescence and this delay arose from the increase of apoptotic activity but not the change in proliferative activity in spermatogonia in the 5°C group.

    Notes: Leydig and Sertoli cells of the immature lesser mouse deer testes, obtained in East Malaysia, were observed using light and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The testes were fixed in 5% glutaraldehyde, post-fixed in 1% OsO4, dehydrated in ethanol, and embedded in Araldite M. Serial semi-thin sections were cut, stained with toluidine blue and observed using light microscopy. Serial ultra-thin sections were cut, stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate, and examined using TEM. As a result, ultrastructurally, two types of underdeveloped filament bundles were infrequently recognized in Leydig cells, but not in other testicular cells. One type was the underdeveloped bundles of actin filaments (approximately 5 nm in diameter), which were found in the nucleus of Leydig cells. The other type was the underdeveloped bundles of intermediate filaments (approximately 10 nm in diameter), which were found in the cytoplasm of Leydig cells. A multivesicular nuclear body (MNB) – specifically present in the Sertoli cell nucleus of ruminant testes – was infrequently observed. The MNB is situated in the vicinity of nuclear membrane, still in an underdeveloped stage.

    Notes: Certain amino acid transport systems play an important role in supplying organic nutrients to each cell and for cell proliferation during tooth development. However, the mechanisms responsible for such actions are unclear. This study demonstrated for the first time that LAT1 and 4F2hc are expressed during tooth development in prenatal and postnatal rats, and that the transporters show cell-specific expression in ameloblasts, which are the epithelium-derived dental cells. LAT1 and 4F2hc expression was not observed in other dental cells of the developing teeth such as odontoblasts and cementoblasts. Overall, these results suggest that LAT1 and 4F2hc might play an important role in enamel formation.

    Notes: Leydig cells of lesser mouse deer (Tragulus javanicus) testes were observed using light and transmission electron microscopies. Sexually mature lesser mouse deer were obtained in East Malaysia. The testes were perfused with 5% glutaraldehyde, postfixed with 1% OsO4, dehydrated in ethanol and embedded in Araldite. The semithin sections were cut, stained with toluidine blue and observed under light microscopy. The ultrathin sections were cut, stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate, and examined using a JEM-1200 transmission electron microscope. As a result, two types of filament bundles were frequently recognized in Leydig cells, but not in other testicular cells. These bundles were clearly seen at even a light microscopic level. One type was bundles of actin filaments (approximately 5 nm in diameter). These structures were found not only in the cytoplasm but also in the nucleus. The other type was bundles of intermediate filaments (approximately 10 nm in diameter). These structures were found only in the cytoplasm. The existence of filament bundles has never been reported in the testicular cells of another mammalian species. Thus, while bundles of actin and intermediate filaments are specifically present in the Leydig cells of the lesser mouse deer, their functions are still unclear.
