The Recurring ‘Discovery’ of Hokkaido and the Ainu : Three Decades of Nineteenth-Century British Travelogues

With the full-scale colonization of Hokkaido, home to the indigenous Ainu people, by the Japanese Meiji government (1868-1912), unprecedented ethnographic opportunities emerged for Western scientists and adventure-seekers. Literally dozens of such individuals “discovered” information about the Ainu and their homeland during this period, introducing European and American audiences to the subject th

Interplay between Caveolin-1 and body and tumor size affects clinical outcomes in breast cancer

BACKGROUND: Caveolin-1 (CAV1) is associated with cholesterol-rich membrane raft domains and is a master regulator of cell signaling and membrane transport. Here, we investigated CAV1's role in cellular compartments of breast cancer in relation to signaling pathways, clinicopathological features, and clinical outcomes.METHODS: CAV1 levels were evaluated with immunohistochemistry in cytoplasm of inv

Advanced Optical Diagnostics in Particle Combustion for Biomass and Metal as Alternative Fuels

The energy sector is in urgent need for carbon-free strategies considering environmental pollutions and climate change impact. Two kinds of solid fuels, biomass and metal particles have been studied in this thesis aiming at CO2 emission reduction or zero carbon emission. Biomass is a renewable and carbon-neutral energy source that provides heat and power through gasification and combustion. Biomas
