    Description: Detailed magnetic surveys were carried out at sea around the northern part of Japan as part of “The Basic Map of the Sea Project” by the Hydrographic Department of Japan from 1968 to 1972. Tracklines are spaced every two nautical miles in most part of the surveyed areas, where geomagnetic total intensity was measured by means of proton magneto-meters. Magnetic anomalies of the surveyed areas show four significant features as follows. i ) Lineated patterns of magnetic anomalies found at the north-west Pacific basin have proved extending over the continental slope off the Tohoku District across Japan Trench. ii) Remarkable positive anomaly zones exist along the Pacific coast of Japan. They are parallel to the southern part of the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench and to the northern part of Japan Trench. iii) In the Japan Sea, anomaly patterns are extremely complicated, positive and negative anomalies being distributed like a patch works. iv) Continental shelf of the Okhotsk Sea is characterized by wide and smooth negative anomalies with locally very strong negative values found at limited areas. The positive linear anomalies along the Pacific coast of Japan were examined by calculating numerically the magnetizations which are thought to cause the anomalies. From the results it is found that the one on the coast of the southeast Hokkaido can be explained by a normally magnetized horizontal layer, but that the other along the east coast of Tohoku District can be explained by a magnetized body having a westward component of magnetization. This facts have led us to a conclusion that the Tohoku District must have turned counter-clockwise after the layer causing positive anomalies had been formed. This conclusion coincides well with the palaeomagnetic results from rock samples on land obtained by Kawai, et. al. (1962).

    Description: A computer aided hydrographic survey system of the survey vessel “SYOYO”has been completed. Positioning, data acquisition, data processing are done by using a computer PANA FACOM U-1200. The computer provides accurate positioning from the integration of the NNSS (Navy Navigation Satellite System), the Loran C, and the other associated navigation sensors In this system, Loran C position is calculated by multi-LOP (Line Of Position)fixing up to 14 LOP’s of 6 hyperbolic LOP’s and 8 range LOP's, and corrected by a unique calibration method. The computer calculates differences between NNSS fixes and Loran C fixes to minimize variance of NNSS fixing, and decides reliable calibration values by a weighted mean method. The data processing programs included in the system produces a bathymetric contour chart, a sounding chart, a track chart and other charts. These charts are very available on conducting survey. As far sounding, the automatic echo sounder occasionally provides erroneous depth data Therefore, we have developed a sub- system to replace erroneous data with interactively re-digitized depth values from analog graphic records of the echo sounder.

    Description: This report summarizes the results of a sea-bottom survey in the eastern Sagami Trough to the triple junction of plates by the survey vessel "TAKUYO" on May and June, 1984. The survey, using a multi narrow beam echo sounder (SEA BEAM), revealed that a meandering deep canyon, the Boso Canyon (BOC), exists along the north border of the Sagami Trough. Up to this time, the canyon had been thought to be composed of echelon depressions. The BOC is a part of a long canyon with a length of more than 300 kilometers (from Sagami Bay to the Izu-Ogasawara Trench). As the longitudinal profile of the bottom of the BOC shows no undulation, it suggests that the BOC is a transporting route of sediments gathered from a wide back area. Another submarine canyon, the Awa Canyon (AWC), runs along the southern border of the Sagami Trough, parallel to the BOC. Its topography is in great contrast to the BOC. For instance, the AWC is a shallow valley with a gentle slope and is shallower than 4,500 meters (a singular canyon making small depressions of greater than 4,500 meters). It is worth noting that the bottom of the Sagami Trough is the AWC in the shallower part, and it transfers to the BOC in the deeper parts. Considering the topographical features and the seismic profiles, the material boundary of plates in the eastern Sagami Trough seems to be along the bottom of trough (as mentioned). At the triple junction, three topographic belts parallel to the direction of the Izu-Ogasawara Trench, (wide trench floors, inner highs and small basins) are recognized.

    Description: The Neel temperature (TN) of (Mg1-X,FeX)O and its compositional dependence have been studied with a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) in the temperature range 5-300 K at constant magnetic field of 1000 Oe. We determined the magnetic phase diagram at ambient pressure. As the TN constantly increased with iron content, we found a kink in the paramagnetic-antiferromagnetic boundary at around X = 0.5, which suggests a possible change of the magnetic structure in the antiferromagnetic state. We propose that the magnetic boundary ends at X = 0.12(1) and 0 K. Our results show that the pressure of the rhombohedral distortions of (Mg,Fe)O can be very sensitive to Fe content if the structure distortion is correlated to magnetic ordering.

    Description: Photosynthesis converts solar energy to chemical energy using chlorophylls (Chls). In a late stage of biosynthesis of Chls, dark-operative protochlorophyllide (Pchlide) oxidoreductase (DPOR), a nitrogenase-like enzyme, reduces the C17 = C18 double bond of Pchlide and drastically changes the spectral properties suitable for photosynthesis forming the parental chlorin ring for Chl a. We previously proposed that the spatial arrangement of the proton donors determines the stereospecificity of the Pchlide reduction based on the recently resolved structure of the DPOR catalytic component, NB-protein. However, it was not clear how the two-electron and two-proton transfer events are coordinated in the reaction. In this study, we demonstrate that DPOR initiates a single electron transfer reaction from a [4Fe-4S]-cluster (NB-cluster) to Pchlide, generating Pchlide anion radicals followed by a single proton transfer, and then, further electron/proton transfer steps transform the anion radicals into chlorophyllide (Chlide). Thus, DPOR is a unique iron-sulphur enzyme to form substrate radicals followed by sequential proton- and electron-transfer steps with the protein folding very similar to that of nitrogenase. This novel radical-mediated reaction supports the biosynthesis of Chl in a wide variety of photosynthetic organisms. Scientific Reports 4 doi: 10.1038/srep05455

    Notes: An in situ x-ray study up to 137 GPa using a diamond anvil cell combined with synchrotron x-ray radiation has revealed three new phase transitions in MnO. The rhombohedral distortion from a B1 structure starts at about 30 GPa. The volume compression curve of the distorted phase is in good agreement with recent shock compression experiments, suggesting the possibility of a paramagnetic–antiferromagnetic transition associated with the increase of the Néel temperature (TN). A drastic change in the x-ray pattern was observed at about 90 and 120 GPa. The transition pressure of 90 GPa is also consistent with shock compression data. The phases above 90 GPa were expected to be metallic based on the highly reflective nature of the sample. The crystal structure of the high pressure phase above 120 GPa was successfully explained by a B8 (NiAs) structure as expected based on recent first principles calculations. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Two high pressure high temperature in situ x-ray diffraction systems constructed at the Photon Factory and at SPring-8 are described. Both systems consist of a laser heated diamond anvil cell, CO2 or YAG laser heating systems, and an angle dispersive powder x-ray diffraction system with an imaging plate detector. CO2 laser heating has an advantage in that the sample can be heated stably and uniformly due to stable absorption of the sample. Use of type-IIa diamond, however, caused plastic deformation of the anvils. YAG laser heating, compared to CO2 laser heating, can be used to much higher pressures and temperatures, although a good control system is required for stable heating. Various problems encountered during construction are discussed. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: N -(3′,4′-dimethoxycinnamoyl)anthranilic acid) in preventing postoperative adhesion formation. The adhesion model was established in 12 male Donryu rats. This involved two essential factors, drying and bleeding. Another 22 male Donryu rats were used to study the prevention of intraperitoneal adhesions. Tranilast was administered orally pre- and postoperatively. Adhesion strength was evaluated by grading, and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and transforming growth factor-beta-1 (TGF-β1) concentration were measured. Postoperative intraperitoneal adhesions were seen in all rats, but the adhesions in the tranilast group were significantly less severe than those in the control group. Serum bFGF and TGF-β1 levels in the tranilast group were lower at the time of surgery than those in the control group, and bFGF levels were lower at the endpoint of this study in the tranilast group than in the control group. The TGF-β1 levels at the end-point did not differ between the two groups. These findings demonstrated that tranilast significantly reduced postoperative intraperitoneal adhesion formation.
