The photoactivation of Mg(L)+ complexes of organohalogens has been widely studied . The photodissociation spectra of the methyl halide complexes, Mg(XCH3) (where X = F, Cl, Br and I), have been studied in great detail by Furuya and coworkers in two publications . Each of the four halides exhibits spectra with three absorption bands at the red and blue sides of the free Mg+ 2S transition. These three absorption...

In an IPCR application developed by Furuya et al. [27], interleukin 18 (IL-18) was studied as an important protein in a number of immunological derangements. An indirect sandwich IPCR (Fig. 3D) was used for the detection of IL-18 in cell culture supernatants and serum samples. A quantitative study of low-level IL-18 was carried out beneath a serum concentration of typically 96 135 ng/L. In a systematic variation of assay conditions, the amount of biotinylated 227-bp DNA marker used in the Universal-IPCR protocol was identified as a source for nonspecific amplification. Following an optimization of DNA concentration and PCR cycle number, 2.5 pg/L IL-18 was detected.

Only few studies have dealt with the heat transfer between monolith channels in catalytic fuel combustion and the effect of this heal transfer on temperature profiles and thermal stresses [63,64]. Furuya et al. [64] used simulation of the thermal stress caused by radial gas temperature inlet variations and developed monolith designs with improved resistance to such stress. Worth et al [63] showed the importance of the conductivity of the monolith material to the radial temperature profiles in monolith combustion catalysts. Metal monoliths, with higher thermal conductivity, showed much flatter temperature profiles than ceramic monoliths, indicating that thermal stress and nsk for hot spots will be less of a problem for the former than for the latter.

Mahmood et al. reported GDE with Pb particles as the catalyst which can reduce CO2 to HCOOH. The highest current density was 100 mA cnr or more at -1.8 V vs. SCE. In and Sn showed lower catalytic activity. Furuya et al. employed Ru-Pd alloy particles as the catalyst, giving HCOOH at the current density 80 mA cm at -1.1 V vs. SHE. They studied simultaneous electrolysis of CO2 and nitrite or nitrate ions using GDEs with Cu catalyst particles and various metal phthalocyanines. They obtained urea as the reaction product other than CO and... 

Furuya et al. (468) reported the immobilization of P. somniferum cells in calcium alginate. CeUs remained viable for 6 months after immobilization. The cells were used in shake flasks and column bioreactors for the biotransformation of codeinone to codeine. The immobilized cells had a higher biotransformation ratio (70%) than suspended cells (61%). Most of the codeine formed was excreted into the medium (88%). The column bioreactor had a lower biotransformation ratio (42%). The cells in the bioreactor operated at 20°C and an aeration rate of 3.75 vvm (volume gas/volume broth/min) remained catalytically active for 30 days. In a more detailed study on the influence of substrate transport in immobilized cells, it was concluded that limitation of oxygen inside the beads caused deactivation of the cells. However, the reaction rate of the system was not affected by the limitation of oxygen transfer (469). Immobilization of P.

Berberine-containing plants have been reported to induce uterine stimulation (Furuya 1957 Imaseki et al. 1961) however, no uterine stimulation was noted in rats administered high doses of berberine during pregnancy (Jahnke et al. 2006), and a study of berberine-containing herbal extracts on isolated uteri showed no correlation between uterine stimulation and berberine concentration (Haginiwa and Harada 1962). 

Berberine has been shown to stimulate uterine contractions in both pregnant and nonpregnant mice (Furuya 1957 Imaseki et al. 1%1). A study of various berberine-containing herbal extracts on isolated uteri, however, indicated that relaxation or stimulation of the uterus did not correlate with the concentration of berberine in the extract, suggesting that not all berberine-containing herbs will have the same effect on the uterus (Haginiwa and Harada 1962).
