The placebo effect manifests itself in many ways, revealing that a host of bodily reactions can be influenced by mental attitude and by what an individual believes should happen. One widely noted Japanese study reported monumental effects on the allergic reactions of thirteen volunteers who were highly susceptible to poison ivy. An investigator rubbed one arm of each volunteer with a harmless green leaf, which he identified as poison ivy. He touched the volunteer s other arm with an authentic leaf of poison ivy, which he said was harmless. Despite the subjects known susceptibility, only two of them showed an allergic reaction to the really poisonous leaf. All thirteen subjects, however, developed a rash where they had been rubbed with the misidentified leaf that was actually harmless. 

Other cyclic tetrapeptides have also been isolated by Japanese workers and AM toxins I, II, and III, isolated from Alternaria mail., are extremely toxic to certain plant species (9.10). These are constructed of L- i-hydroxyisovaleric acid, L-alanine, c-amino-acrylic acid and, in AM toxin I, L-6(-amino- -( .-methoxyphenyl)-valeric acid. The phenyl residue in AM toxin II is L-t(-amino-S-phenylvaleric acid, while in AM toxin III, it is L-ol-amino-( .-hydroxyphenyl)valeric acid (Figure 2), All the AM toxins produce leaf spot, or necrosis, in apple but as might he expected slight change in substitution (R-group) on the phenyl ring radically alters the specific activity of the molecule. Both AM toxin I and III induce interveinal necrosis in the "Indo" apple cultivar, which is also highly susceptible to A. mail. at concentrations as low as 0.1 pph within 18 h after treatment. In contrast, the resistant apple cultivar "Jonathan" is only affected by 1 ppm of AM toxin I and 10 ppm of AM toxin III.

Insects provide another difficulty. One of the axioms of entomology is that in the Northern Hemisphere, insect populations are larger and more varied in the eastern parts of a continental mass. In addition to its other problems, eastern viticulture must do constant battle against numerous voracious insect pests. The rose chafer regularly appears just in time to nip off inflorescences as they are about to flower. The Japanese beetle turns every leaf of a grapevine into a piece of lace, if allowed to. In the Tidewater sections of the lower part, nematode infestation can be so severe as to make viticulture almost impossible.

Hemp is made from the bast fibers of Cannabis sativa. This is a larger plant than flax, and produces much coarser fibers. Abaca or Manila hemp is very different from plain hemp. Abaca is made from Musa textilis, commonly called the fiber banana plant. The core fibers of the leaf sheaths of this plant are resistant to salt water, which makes them useful for rope and fabric to be used at sea. It is also used to make handicrafts such as hats and household items. Paper made from abaca has a wide variety of uses, including paper currency (i.e. Japanese yen notes), sausage casings, industrial filters, and tea bags. The finest grade abaca is woven into a cloth called pinukpok. 

Tears are repaired with Japanese tissue, missing areas are filled in with paper similar to the artifact. Repair paper of specific caliper and tone is made in the leaf caster. Adhesives vary methyl cellulose, wheat paste, or a mixture of polyvinyl alcohol with rice paste. The mixture is most useful because it permits use of a warm tacking iron to hasten the drying process. Where missing areas have been patched, the restorer reconstructs only those lines and colors that are already discernable, lest the work be called an attempt at falsification.

The dried herbs of some Artemisia species have been used for the treatment of inflammation, blood diseases caused by the disturbance of menses, haematemesis, haematuria, hemorrhoids and diarrhea in Chinese, Korean and Japanese traditional medicine. In Japan, A. princeps and A. montana are the main species used for these purposes. Chlorogenic acid, methyl chlorogenate, 3,5-di-(9-caffeoylquinic acid, 4,5-di-CJ-cafifeoylquinic acid and 3,4-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid were isolated from the leaf of A. montana, and these compounds can be called "caffeetaimins" "Fig. (31)". We found that these caffeetannins inhibited the ADP plus NADPH-induced lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsomes. [17] Furthermore, as shown in "Table (12) and Table (13)", the acetone extracts of A. montana reduced the elevations of LPO, GOT and (JOT in the serum of rats fed peroxidized oil for 7 days. Caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid also inhibited the elevation of serum TG, LPO, TC, GOT and GPT "Table (14) and Table (15)". 

Leaves skeletonized. Cause Leaf-feeding beetles. Japanese beetles are prime suspects here, although other beetles, such as spotted cucumber beetles and rose chafers, may also attack. Handpick or spray with a solution of 1 tablespoon 70 percent isopropyl alcohol to 1 pint prepared pyrethrin mixture. Repeat every 3-5 days until beetles are gone. 

L ves with notched leaf margins. Cause Japanese weevils. The A", brown adults attack foliage, and the legless white grubs feed on roots. Apply a sticky substance, such as Tanglefoot, to the lower stems to prevent adults from climbing up the plants. Drench the soil around the base of the plant with a solution of parasitic nematodes to control the larvae. Spray leaves several times with pyrethrin for major infestations of adults. 

Leaves skeletonized. Causes Raspberry sawfly larvae Japanese beetles raspberry fruitworm beetles. The prickly, pale green, V2" larvae of raspberry sawflies usually cluster on leaf undersides. They feed on leaves for up to 2 weeks before descending to the ground, where they pupate and emerge the following spring as adult sawflies. For heavy infestations, handpick larvae or spray with BTK. Or apply pyrethrin sprays. 

Protection Ottered Vacuuming removes large leaf-eating pests like Japanese beetles and Colorado potato beetles as well as faster cueumber beetles and whiteflies. You can also vacuum up earwigs, sowbugs, and other pests. 

The physical properties of wood-chip of used timber crushed by a hammer-type crusher were investigated. The samples of wood-chip were taken from five by-product treatment plants in Kanto area. Table 1 shows the physical properties of the wood-chip mentioned above. In the table, the sorts of timber for the industrial raw materials were conifer trees e.g. Japanese cedar, Japanese cypress, pine and Japanese beech. The wood-chip for fuel were mixed of conifer trees and broad-leafed trees. Photo. 1 shows the sample of wood-chip used for this experiment. 

GINKGO FOLIUM The drug consists of the dried leaf of Ginkp/o biloba, (L.), a tree belonging to the gymnosperms, in Japanese called icho. It is cultivated in France and S. Carolina (USA). A standardised extract of the leaves is used therapeutically. The main ingredients so far isolated from the leaves are ... 

Dimethyl-l,5,7-octatrien-3-ol [(15) = R-isomer)] has been found naturally in both chiral forms. The 3S-(+)-enantiomorph occurs in Japanese Ho leaf oil (whence its trivial name, hbtrienol), while the R-isomer has been isolated from black tea and green tea. The R-isomer (15) was synthesised from R-linalyl acetate (10) by bromination with iV-bromosuccinimide, giving three allylically brominated acetates (11), (12), and (13), which all lead to the acetate...
