Abstract

The smp3-1 mutant allele confers increased holding stability of heterologous plasmid, pSR1, and a temperature-sensitive growth defect which is remediable by the addition of 1 M sorbitol as the osmotic stabilizer. The smp3-1 allele contains two base substitutions; one is in the open reading frame and changed the 490th CAT (encoding Histidine) to TAT (tyrosine), and the other one is an A for G substitution, at 2 bp downstream from termination codon. These base substitutions were separated each other by recombination at a BstNI site located between these two substitutions. The base substitution in the 3'' untranslated region was found to be lethal and the defect was unremediable by the osmotic stabilizer, while that in the open reading frame has no appreciable effect to the cell. Thus, both the base substitutions join together confer the smp3-1 mutant phenotype. The smp3-1 mutant cells cultivated at 37 OC in nutrient medium containing 1 M sorbitol showed similar smp3 transcription as in the wild type. These facts suggest that smp3-1 mutation has a defect in its post-transcriptional process.

Abstract

Lowlands are easily concentrated by effects of water and soil pollution. There is a demand for the development of technology that can both restore the ground environment and improve soft ground. The authors implemented testing used a rotary crushing and diffusive mixing (referred to hereafter as RCDM) method and an ion adsorption method (Nano-size inorganic Layered Double Hydroxide - NLDH - method) for the purpose of developing technology that can restore the ground environment and improve soft ground. These examples are believed to show the broad applicability of both methods.

Abstract

Using Lowtran 7's estimated Rayleigh scattered and aerosol scattered radiance, the radiance reflected at the sea surface (Lw(λ)) is derived from the measured radiance of Landsat-TM images taken over teh Ariake Sea. Then the Lw(λ) averaged from 4 x 4 windows of pixels contered at 33 sampling sites was regressed againts the observed Secchi disk depth (SDD) using linear regression algorithms. Result show that use of multi-date visible channels of Landsat-TM as the calibration data predicts more accurate and dependable SDD at the validation stage than use of single-date calibration data of Landsat-TM. This study confirms the feasibility of retrieving SDD (or turbidity/ suspended-sediments) from Landsat-TM data. Limited experiments in the modeling sea surface temperature (SST) show the potential of predicting SST from the thermal channel (6) og Landsate-TM data using a simple liniear regression.
