Preparation and properties of La2O3-Ga2S3 glass-ceramics for IR materials (2006)
Takebe, H., Murakami, T., Kuwabara, M., Hewak, D.W.
IR transmitting glass-ceramics were prepared by isothermal treatments of La2O3–Ga2S3 glasses. The glass-ceramics were characterized by crystalline phases, microstructure, Vickers hardness and mid...
Protective effects of Stem Cell Factor in inhibiting X-rays induced apoptosis in HL60 cells (2005)
S.J. Hosseinimehr, O. Inanami, M. Kuwabara
Background and purpose : Apoptosis or programmed cell death is a process of cell suicide. Ionizing radiation is one of the stimuli for apoptosis, acting through DNA damage. In the present study,...
No Evidence for Adaptation of Current Egg Drop Syndrome 1976 Viruses to Chickens (2004)
K. Tsukamoto, M. Kuwabara, M. Kaneko, M. Mase, K. Imai
In order to determine whether the current field strains of egg drop syndrome (EDS) 1976 viruses adapt to chickens, we compared the growth efficiency of three Japanese field strains (JPA-1/79, AWI/98,...
On the Atomic Structure of the Nb/Al2O3 Interface and the Growth of Al2O3 Particles. (1998)
Kuwabara, M., Spence, J. C. H., Ruhle, M.
The growth mechanism for small precipitates of al2o3 formed by internal oxidation in the nb-al2o3 interface is studied in detail. the observations show that the nb(001)/al2o3(001) interface is almost...
On the Atomic Structure of the Nb/Al2O3 Interface and the Growth of Al2O3 Particles. (1998)
Kuwabara, M., Spence, J. C. H., Ruhle, M.
The growth mechanism for small precipitates of Al2O3 formed by internal oxidation in the Nb-Al2O3 interface is studied in detail. The observations show that the Nb(001)/Al2O3(00.1) interface is...
Positive Temperature Coefficient of Resistivity Effect in Undoped Barium Titanate Ceramics. (1998)
A distinct positive temperature coefficient of resistivity (PTCR) effect has been observed in undoped barium titanate ceramics sintered in the temperature range 1300-1400 C in air. Although undoped...
Dynamics of an Acoustic Polaron in One-Dimensional Electron-Lattice System (1996)
Arikabe, Y., Kuwabara, M., Ono, Y.
The dynamical behavior of an acoustic polaron in typical non-degenerate conjugated polymer, polydiacetylene, is numerically studied by using Su-Schrieffer-Heeger's model for the one dimensional...
Gaynor, R, Soultanakis, E, Kuwabara, M, Garcia, J, Sigman, D S
The transactivator protein, tat, encoded by the human immunodeficiency virus is a key regulator of viral transcription. Activation by the tat protein requires sequences downstream of the...
Hiraoka, W, Kuwabara, M, Sato, F, Matsuda, A, Ueda, T
Free-radical reactions induced by OH-radical attack on cytosine-related compounds were investigated by a method combining ESR, spin trapping with 2-methyl-2-nitrosopropane and high-performance liquid...

T lymphocytes and silica-induced pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis in mice.
Suzuki, N., Ohta, K., Horiuchi, T., Takizawa, H., Ueda, T., Kuwabara, M., ...
BACKGROUND: Silica-induced pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis in animals provides a good model for chronic pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis. Although lymphocytes are implicated in the...
