F-ACTIN DISTRIBUTION IN THE OVARIES OF PRE-VITELLOGENIC AND VITELLOGENIC BLACK BLOWFLIES, PHORMIA-REGINA (MEIGEN) (DIPTERA, CALLIPHORIDAE)
No full textThe spatial distribution of F-actin microfilaments in the ovaries of pre-vitellogenic and vitellogenic female black blowflies, Phormia regina (Diptera : Calliphoridae), as the females shift from a sugar to a liver diet, is determined using rhodamine-labelled phalloidin (rh-phalloidin). During the pre-vitellogenic stages of ovarian development (i.e. corresponding to a sugar diet) a single bright fluorescent layer marks the interface between follicle cells and the oocyte. Fluorescence is also most evident at the inner surface of the ring canals of the nurse cells. This is observed in the nurse cells both in the distal part of the germarium, and in the vitellogenic growing oocyte. However, when liver-fed (i.e. necessary for vitellogenesis), 2 bright fluorescent layers are observed at the follicle cell-oocyte interface. In addition, the cytoplasm of the nurse cells during vitellogenesis appears full of fluorescent microfilaments and the actin rings are found to increase in size and thickness. The changing organization of the F-actin microfilaments in the follicles during the process of both egg chamber and oocyte formation is discussed and possible functions considered

Kuan-yin-ching Painting Owned by the Hondoji
No full textThe Kuan-yin-ching painting owned by the Hondoji Temple presently consists of two hanging scrolls, each measuring 124.6cm in height and 90.1 cm in width. The continuity of the composition indicates that they originally formed a single-scroll painting. The theme is based on the twenty-fifth chapter of the Lotus Sutra (Kuan-yin-ching) and represented by twenty ecclesiastic scenes. Cartouches are placed within the composition, where parts of the prose and verse in the chapter are written in ink.
As for the selection of the scenes, what is interesting about this painting is that all of the scenes in the verse that are concerning the salvation from various sufferings are depicted. From the prose, the thirty-three transformations of Avalokiteśvara and abundant benefits and liberation from greed conferred by Avalokiteśvara are picturized.
Rather conservative painting technique of the combination of underdrawing, colouring and finish with ink is employed. Texture strokes in ink are not used, even in detail. The colour scheme reflects a Chinese flavour, characterised by the floridity, which is different from the mode of colouring after the thirteenth century.
The painting had an inscription on the back, which was removed at the time of repairs. According to the inscription, the painting originally was kept as a treasure at certain Hōshakuji Temple, which is presumed to be the Hoshakuji located in
Ōyamazaki Town in the vicinity of Kyoto. It is interesting to note that the Avalikiteśvara figures in the painting are all eleven-headed Avalokiteśvara corresponding to the main statue of the Hōshakuji, made in the first year of the Tempuku Era (1233).
The earliest documented evidence of the belief of Kuan-yin-ching in the history of Japan took place in the first year of the Shuchō Era (686), when a lecture on it was held for the convalescence of the Emperor Temmu from his illness. The popularity of the belief has hitherto remained unabated.
Unlike the pictorial works depicting the twentyeight chapters of the Lotus Sutra, those limitted to the Kuan-yin-ching do not abound. So far the sole extant Japanese example has been the handscroll painting of Kuan-yin-ching in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, whose colophon bears the execution date of the first year of the Shōka Era (1257). While this handscroll painting of Kuan- yin-ching is a copy of a Chinese printed version, the hangingscroll painting in question is not based on any other compositions. This renders the painting extremely valuable in the comparative study with Chinese made illustrations of the twenty-fifth chapter of the Lotus Sutra.
As for the dating, the author assumes this Kuan-yin-ching painting to have been executed in the third quarter of the thirteenth century.journal articl

MIXED ADSORPTION OF SODIUM DODECYL-SULFATE AND ETHOXYLATED NONYLPHENOLS ON CARBON-BLACK AND THE STABILITY OF CARBON-BLACK DISPERSIONS IN MIXED-SOLUTIONS OF SODIUM DODECYL-SULFATE AND ETHOXYLATED NONYLPHENOLS
No full textAdsorption of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and ethoxylated nonylphenols (NP-12, NP-40 and NP-100) from their mixed solutions on carbon black and the stability of carbon black dispersions in SDS-NP mixed solutions have been investigated. The adsorption isotherms of either SDS or NP alone on the surface of carbon black are shown to be of the Langmuir type, and the amount of NP adsorbed decreased with increasing number of ethylene oxide (EO) units in the NP molecules. In the mixed solutions of SDS and NP, the adsorption of both SDS and NP on carbon black decreased in the presence of the other component, and the amount of one component adsorbed varied in an inverse-linear relationship with that of the other, indicating a displacement mechanism of adsorption for the two surfactants on carbon black. The stability of carbon black dispersions in mixed solutions of SDS and NP was demonstrated to be consistent with the displacement mechanism of the mixed adsorption.Chemistry, PhysicalSCI(E)EI28ARTICLE3215-2216
