Dewarping of document image by global optimization (2008)

Hironori Ezaki, Seiichi Uchida, Akira Asano, Hiroaki Sakoe

This paper proposes a novel dewarping technique for document images of bound volumes. This technique is a kind of model fitting techniques for estimating the warp of each text line by fitting some...

Temporally Distinctive Changes of Alternative Splicing Patterns during Myogenic Differentiation of C2C12 Cells (1995)

Harada, Yoshinari, Nakamura, Masahiko, Asano, Akira

It is well known that skeletal muscle differentiation is accompanied by the appearance of many muscle-specific components and that some of these components are generated through muscle-specific...

A Novel DNA Binding Protein That Recognizes the Methylated c-Myc Binding Motif (1995)

Suetake, Isao, Tajima, Shoji, Asano, Akira

We detected a novel nuclear protein, MMBP-3, that bound to the c-Myc binding motif (CACGTG) in which deoxycytidine in the CpG sequence was methylated. MMBP-3 was partially purified by chromatography...

Isolation and Expression of a Chicken DNA Methyltransferase cDNA (1995)

Tajima, Shoji, Tsuda, Hideki, Wakabayashi, Nobunao, Asano, Akira, Mizuno, Shigeki, Nishimori, Katsuhiko

A 0.5 kb fragment of chicken DNA methyltransferase cDNA was PCR-amplified using a set of degenerate primers. A clone harboring a 5 kb insert was isolated from a cDNA library by screening with the...

Age Dependency of Mitochondrial DNA Decrease Differs in Different Tissues of Rat (1993)

Asano, Kimiko, Nakamura, Masahiko, Sato, Tsuneko, Tauchi, Hisashi, Asano, Akira

Mitochondrial DNA contents were measured using non-radioactive DNA probes for specific mtDNA sequences. The nuclear repetitive DNA sequence, LINE, was used as an internal standard marker....

Rheological Studies on Calcium-Sensitive Gelation of Actin Filaments by Actinogelin (1981)

MARUYAMA, Koscak, MIMURA, Naotoshi, ASANO, Akira

Actinogelin, a regulatory protein of cell motility, enhanced gelation of actin filaments in the absence of calcium ions, only on standing still or with very low velocity gradients (

The Presence and Cleavage of Interpeptide Disulfide: Bonds in Viral Glycoproteins (1979)

OZAWA, Masayuki, ASANO, Akira, OKADA, Yoshio

The presence and nature of interpeptide disulfide bonds in HANA (Aemagglutinin and neura-minidase) glycoprotein and F (fusion) glycoprotein of HVJ (Sendai virus) are described. In the case of HANA,...

Biochemical Studies on Rat Liver Golgi Apparatus: IV. Effects of Various Treatments In Vivo on the Golgi Apparatus (1978)

HINO, Yukinobu, ASANO, Akira, SATO, Ryo

The effects of various treatments in vivo on the intracellular contents of the Golgi apparatus and microsomes (endoplasmic reticulum) in rat liver were studied. Partial hepatectomy increased the...

Ascorbate-synthesizing System in Rat Liver Microsomes: II. A Peptide-bound Flavin as the Prosthetic Group of L-Gulono-{gamma}-lactone Oxidase (1975)

NAKAGAWA, Hidehiko, ASANO, Akira, SATO, Ryo

L-Gulono-Hactone oxidase [EC 1.1.3.8] was purified 80-fold from rat liver microsomes. In confirmation of our previous finding with a cruder preparation, the purified enzyme was shown to contain an...

Ascorbate Synthesizing System in Rat Liver Microsomes: 1. Gulonolactone-reducible Pigment as a Prosthetic Group of Gulonolactone Oxidase (1970)

NAKAGAWA, Hidehiko, ASANO, Akira

Gulonolactone oxidase [EC 1.1.3.8] was effectively solubilized from rat liver micro-somes by the action of detergents but not with proteases. We established a new method of purification of the...

Oxidative Phosphorylation in Micrococcus denitrificans: IV. Further Characterization of Electron-Transfer Pathway and Phosphorylation Activity in NADH Oxidation (1968)

IMAI, KATSUYUKI, ASANO, AKIRA, SATO, RYO

The electron-transfer pathway in the NADH-cytochrome b region of the respiratory chain in membrane fragments obtained from aerobically grown cells of Micrococcus denitrificans was found to consist of...

Oxidative Phosphorylation in Micrococcus denitrificans: V. Effects of Iron Deficiency on Respiratory Components and Oxidative Phosphorylation (1968)

IMAI, KATSUYUKI, ASANO, AKIRA, SATO, RYO

Membrane fragments prepared from Micrococcus denitrificans grown aerobically in an iron-sufficient medium showed an ESR signal at g=1.94 on reduction with NADH, but not with succinate. From...

Oxidative Phosphorylation in Micrococcus denitrfricans: III. ATP-supported Reduction of NAD+ by Succinate (1967)

ASANO, AKIRA, IMAI, KATSUYUKI, SATO, RYO

An ATP-supported reduction of NAD+ by succinate was demonstrated in membrane fragments prepared from aerobically grown cells of Micrococcus detnitrificans. Evidence was obtained to indicate that...
