New mechanism for the formation of ocean ridges
Recent observations in the most remote and least accessible
ocean floor may have significantly changed the current viewpoint
on the mechanism of sea-floor spreading. During the investigation
in the Southwest Indian Ocean and Arctic Ridges, both of which
are known for their very slow spreading, scientists have
discovered another type of ocean ridge which is not known in the
past. With respect to the mechanism, the formation of ultraslow
spreading ridges is completely different from that of the other two
known types - fast and slow spreading ridges. The ultraslow
spreading ridges were formed when the effective spreading
induced by the mantle upwelling was slowed down to 12 mm/yr.
These ultraslow spreading ridges comprise the two co-existing
components of magmatic and non-magmatic accretion. The latter
is an accretionary boundary structure which is unrecognized until
the present.

First of all, personal computer supply to the public has increased up to 5
million sets such that about one out of two families in xxxxx has a
personal computer. About 20 % of those personal computers are
interconnected to the public telecommunication system so as to utilize
PC on-line service. Moreover, domestic subscription of the Internet, the
worldwide computer communication network, is continuously increasing.
As a result, the PC communication is becoming a necessary tool

Obviously, the results from the experiments with single strain (=
ancestry, family) of yeast and the bacteria in the defined culture broth
could not be compared that of multiple species of yeasts and
thermophilic
bacteria in extremely complex material such as food waste. However,
our data provided indirect evidence for the mechanism of stimulation
of thermophilic bacteria by growing yeasts.

During the all development phases of software system life-cycle, it is
a inevitable phenomenon that many documents that retains many
relationship to others would be generated. Furthermore, because of
the evolutionary nature of the software development process, each
document must exist in a number of versions. Keeping track of
relationship between versions of different documents is a major
source of problems to those involved in software engineering.

Effects of climate
While there is wide generality of freezing injury mechanism, there are also
exceptions on the cause of freezing injury depending upon species:
chilling sensitive materials may be injured prior to freezing if slow rate of
cooling is applied, some of animal cells are sensitive to dehydration itself
at lesser degrees that do not yet bring close approach of membranes,
some bacterial materials adapt equilibrium freezing by avoiding close
approach of membranes but are injured by effect of concentrated solution
during prolonged cryopreservation, and some tissues of higher plants are
injured by intracellular freezing by breakdown of supercooling even after
freezing by extremely slow rate of cooling.

While this freezing injury mechanism is widespread, there are also other
causes of freezing injury depending upon the species involved: chillsensitive materials may be injured prior to freezing if a slow rate of cooling
is applied; some animal cells are sensitive to dehydration at temperatures
that do not result in the close approach of membranes; some bacterial
materials adapt to equilibrium freezing by avoiding the close approach of
membranes, but are injured by the effect of the concentrated solution
used during prolonged cryopreservation; some tissues of higher plants
are injured by intracellular freezing as a result of the breakdown of
supercooling, even after freezing using an extremely slow rate of cooling.

This paper presents a method which aims at these points. Here,
especially, the component of rule generation is discussed which bases
on a special evolutionary concept. The rule base is generated by an
incremental collecting of individual rules. The structure of the rules is
flexible by a free number of linguistic statements in the premises (=
argument, hypothesis). Negations in the premise are possible. Beside
positive rules also negative rules are generated which warn of or forbid
certain output values.

Mechanical engineering
In this case, conventional cutting tool materials such as high speed
steel and tungsten carbide can not machine above materials in the sense
of cutting tool life, and grinding process is used for finish machining.
By changing to hard turning, the elimination of subsequent grinding
may result in productivity increases of several times. Particularly, cutting
tools in CNC lathes can be used for a variety of different machining tasks
and complex geometrical profiles compared to formed grinding wheel.
Good surface integrity of machined parts is another consideration of
hard turning. Geometric accuracy is very high and surface roughness is
less than 1.0 . The residual stresses occurred by hard turning may be
expected to lie within the compressive range that is more favorable.
Therefore, the wear resistance in automobile parts applied by fatigue
load is increased due to compressive stress [2-3]. However, cutting tool
is subjected to the extremes of stress and temperature. Thus, tool life is
shorten due to the mechanical and thermal stresses as well as chemical
reactions.

Conventional cutting tool materials, such as high-speed steel and tungsten carbide, are
unsuitable for machining hardened materials because of reduced cutting tool life, and a grinding
process is used for finish machining.
With a change to hard turning, the elimination of subsequent grinding may increase
productivity several times. Moreover, cutting tools in CNC lathes can be used for a wider variety
of machining tasks and complex geometrical profiles, compared to a formed grinding wheel.
Good surface integrity of machined parts is another consideration in favour of hard turning.
Geometric accuracy is very high and surface roughness is less than 1.0. The residual stresses
incurred by hard turning may be expected to lie within the compressive range, which is more
favourable; for example, in automobile parts under fatigue load, wear resistance is increased due
to compressive stress [2-3]. However, in hard turning the cutting tool is subjected to extremes of
stress and temperature. Thus, tool life is shortened due to high mechanical and thermal stresses
as well as accelerated chemical reactions.

This study attempted to determine the effect and optimal application
time of lidocaine tape (xxxxxxxx xxxxx) for blood withdrawal. Blood
was withdrawn from veins in antecubital fossa of 8 healthy volunteers
with 19 gauge butterfly needles for 3 to 6 times with longer than 14 day
interval. The patch was not applied before the first withdrawal, but
applied before other withdrawals for 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes. Visual
analog scores (VAS) during venepuncture (T1) and needle withdrawal
(T3) inversely related to the duration of patch, but not did that of blood
withdrawal (T2).

Pharmacology
Sulfate conjugation generally results in a decrease of biological
activity and increase of excretion rate of the acceptor compound. In
several cases, however, sulfation enhances the activity of
compounds, such as cholecystokinin (8), hirudin (21), and the
antihypertensive agent minoxidil (6).
