Re–Os isotopic data for 20 samples from a well-characterized 140 m section across a layered sequence, ranging from plagioclase lherzolite through lherzolite to harzburgite, of the Horoman...

Evolution of Heterogeneous Lithospheric Mantle in a Plume Environment Beneath the Kerguelen Archipelago (1999)

Mattielli, N., Weis, D., Scoates, J. S., Shimizu, N., GréGoire, M., ...

A combined petrographic, geochemical and Sr–Nd–Pb isotopic investigation of peridotite xenoliths from the Kerguelen Archipelago (southern Indian Ocean) provides new insights into melt migration...

Polybaric Petrogenesis of Mafic Layers in the Horoman Peridotite Complex, Japan (1999)

Takazawa, E., Frey, F. A., Shimizu, N., Saal, A., Obata, M.

Two major types of mafic granulite layers occur within the Horoman peridotite, an 8 km × 10 km × 3 km orogenic lherzolite exposed in the high-T and low-P Hidaka metamorphic belt of Hokkaido, Japan....

Stimulation of bone formation in the expanding midpalatal suture by transforming growth factor-{beta}1 in the rat (1996)

Sawada, M, Shimizu, N

The most intense endogenous transforming growth factor (TGF)-&bgr;1 expression was detected on osteoblasts and fibroblasts in the mid-palatal suture 24 hours after the start of palatal expansion with...

Metasomatism-induced Melting in Mantle Xenoliths from Mongolia (1994)

IONOV, D. A., HOFMANN, A. W., SHIMIZU, N.

Mantle xenoliths from two locations in Mongolia contain patches of glass-phenocryst aggregates (‘melt pockets’) up to 1 cm in diameter, including one ‘composite’ xenolith, which shows a...

Adhesion of Epstein–Barr virus-positive natural killer cell lines to cultured endothelial cells stimulated with inflammatory cytokines

Kanno, H, Watabe, D, Shimizu, N, Sawai, T

Chronic active Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) infection (CAEBV) is characterized by chronic recurrent infectious mononucleosis-like symptoms. Approximately one-fourth of CAEBV patients develop vascular...
