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...

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,...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
