Unique heterogeneous catalase-like activity was observed for metallosupramolecular ionic crystals [AuI4CoIII2(dppe)2(D-pen)4]Xn ([1]Xn; dppe = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane; Xn = (Cl−)2, (ClO4−)2, (NO3−)2 or SO42−) consisting of AuI4CoIII2 complex cations, [1]2+, and inorganic anions, X− or X2−. Treatment of the ionic crystals with an aqueous H2O2 solution led to considerable O2 evolution with a high turnover frequency of 1.4 × 105 h−1 for the heterogeneous cobalt complexes, which was dependent on their size and shape as well as the arrangement of cationic and anionic species. These dependencies were rationalized by the presence of cobalt(II) centers on the crystal surface and their efficient exposure on the (111) plane rather than the (100) plane based on morphological and theoretical studies.
After learning to cook French cuisine at Shiba Park Hotel in Tokyo, Yamada moved to US to continue his training as a chef in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. He later moved to UK to study while also working at Lowry’s Restaurant in London. After returning to Japan he completed the master course in macrobiotic cooking at Lima Cooking School of Japan CI. In 1976 Yamada opened “Mominoki House” in Tokyo’s Harajuku district. Mominoki House is the first organic food restaurant in Japan in its 39th years now. Yamada is on the board of NPO Japan Slow Life Association and also serves as chairperson on the board of NPO Natural Food Planet. Many people might be interested in wearing stylish clothes or living in a beautifully designed house. Then what about food, the most important of "ishokuju", or food, clothing and shelter? Are you trying to polish your taste in food for your well-being? Once you acquire refined taste in eating, you won't have to refrain yourself from eating your "favorite food", or you won't have to force yourself to eat "healthy food".
Let us all have sophisticated taste in food to make our body and soul truly healthy and happy. MOMINOKI HOUSE will be happy to help you. MOMINOKI HOUSE serves food for people with taste.

Schweitzer, 33600 Pessac, France We propose a new type of nanodevice, capable of both path-selectivity and anisotropic lasing, that is based on loss-compensation and amplification by a localized plasmon polariton.
The nanodevice is a Y-shaped plasmonic nanostructure embedded in an anisotropic host medium with gain. The anisotropy leads to path selectivity, an effect which is more pronounced once gain is included. Such a device is potentially realizable via bottom-up techniques. The path-selectivity may be coupled with activation of a rotation of the anisotropic host medium for inducing a light-guiding switching functionality.

Oriented neuronal networks with controlled connectivity are required for many applications ranging from studies of neurodegeneration to neuronal computation.
To build such networks in vitro, an efficient, directed and long lasting guidance of axons toward their target is a pre-requisite. The best guidance achieved so far, however, relies on confining axons in enclosed microchannels, making them poorly accessible for further investigation. Here we describe a method providing accessible and highly regular arrays of axons, emanating from somas positioned in distinct compartments. This method combines the use of a novel removable partition, allowing soma positioning outside of the axon guidance patterns, and in-mold patterning (iMP), a hybrid method combining chemical and mechanical cell positioning clues applied here for the first time to neurons. The axon guidance efficiency of iMP is compared to that of conventional patterning methods, e.g. micro-contact printing (chemical constraints by a poly-L-lysine motif) and micro-grooves (physical constraints by homogeneously coated microstructures), using guiding tracks of different widths and spacing.
We show that iMP provides a gain of 10 to 100 in axon confinement efficiency on the tracks, yielding mm-long, highly regular, and fully accessible on-chip axon arrays. iMP also allows well-defined axon guidance from small populations of several neurons confined at predefined positions in μm-sized wells. iMP will thus open new routes for the construction of complex and accurately controlled neuronal networks.The requested URL /article.php?page=1791 was not found on this server. Lecturer - School of Arts Phone: +61 2 6773 3028 Kiyomi has qualifications and expertise in teaching both English and Japanese. She was originally trained as an EFL (English as a Foreign Language) teacher and taught in private English language schools and a company in Japan for nine years. She also taught Japanese language and culture at two high schools in Victoria for two years. Besides teaching, she worked as a freelance translator for several years for various companies including a publishing firm in Tokyo, for which she translated foreign magazines.
Kiyomi completed a Graduate Diploma in Education and a Master of Education at the University of New England. She then taught Japanese language and culture for two years and ESL (English as a Second Language) to international students for three years at UNE. She has now returned to the Japanese Discipline and has been teaching Japanese language and culture units since the beginning of 2007. She has coordinated and taught a variety of units including Japanese language units (e.g. JAPN 201/202, JAPN301/302, JAPN421/422) and the Japanese literature and cinema components of CIJ110 (Cultural Expression in Modern Asia).Kiyomi completed her PhD in Japanese Studies at Monash University on Japanese academic written and oral genres. Her research interests include genres, discourse analysis, second language acquisition, sociolinguistics and intercultural communication. BA (Keio), DipEd (UNE), MEd (UNE), PhD (Monash) Yamada, K.
