To categorize four types of sleep- and non-sleep-related hallucinations experienced by normal people and classify ghost or ghost-like stories by these categories. A total of 183 reliable tales of ghosts [41 from “Tohno Monogatari” (Tohno Folktales) and 142 from “Nihon Kaidan Shu” (Ghosts Tales of Japan)] are classified into hallucinations that are sleep-related hallucinations [hypnagogic hallucination-like (HyH) and REM sleep behavior disorder or somnambulism-like (RBDS) tales] and sleep-unrelated [vivid hallucination-like (VH) and highway hypnosis-like (HHy) tales] according to the criteria. Sixty to 70% of these tales can be classified into these four types of hallucinations. Further, sleep-related hallucinations increased from 17.0% to 36.6% in about 40 years. Our criteria will be useful to classify hallucinations experienced by normal people and to elucidate the mechanisms of these kinds of hallucinations experienced in neurodegenerative or psychological disorders.

Algal blooms are increasing worldwide, driven by elevated nutrient inputs. However, it is still unknown how tropical benthic algae will respond to heatwaves, which are expected to be more frequent under global warming. In the present study, a multifactorial experiment was carried out to investigate the potential synergistic effects of increased ammonium inputs (25 μM, control at 2.5 μM) and a heatwave (31°C, control at 25°C) on the growth and physiology (e.g., ammonium uptake, nutrient assimilation, photosynthetic performance, and pigment concentrations) of two bloom-forming algal species, Cladophoropsis sp. and Laurencia sp. Both algae positively responded to elevated ammonium concentrations with higher growth and chlorophyll a and lutein concentrations. Increased temperature was generally a less important driver, interacting with elevated ammonium by decreasing the algaes' %N content and N:P ratios. Interestingly, this stress response was not captured by the photosynthetic yield (Fv/Fm) nor by the carbon assimilation (%C), which increased for both algae at higher temperatures. The negative effects of higher temperature were, however, buffered by nutrient inputs, showing an antagonistic response in the combined treatment for the concentration of VAZ (violaxanthin, antheraxanthin, zeaxanthin) and thalli growth. Ammonium uptake was initially higher for Cladophoropsis sp. and increased for Laurencia sp. over experimental time, showing an acclimation capacity even in a short time interval. This experiment shows that both algae benefited from increased ammonium pulses and were able to overcome the otherwise detrimental stress of increasingly emerging temperature anomalies, which provide them a strong competitive advantage and might support their further expansions in tropical marine systems. 相似文献

"Subsequent to population growth, land scarcity and the diminishing yields, Kikuyu started a search for arable land. This migration has been extended toward areas which are unsuitable for agriculture, where survival strategies of Kikuyu migrants have been analysed. Results of the extended data collection have shown that a range of social practices within the mainly patrimonial families enable them to survive in the semi-arid savannah on the Laikipia plain (Kenya). Two strategies could be distinguished: on the levels of the individuals the mobility may be described as personal transhumance, and on the level of the domestic units as steps on the various islands of a vertical archipelago; both are characteristics of a family circulation that constitutes a migratory scheme prevailing among the Kikuyu. The study concludes with a model of migratory practices which associates individual tactics and the strategies applied by domestic units." (EXCERPT) 相似文献

Hybridisation between certain willow species is a common feature leading to novel genotypes varying in growth rate and stress tolerance. The objective of this 4-week study was to investigate the effects of decreased watering, enhanced ultraviolet-B irradiation (UV-BBE, 280–315 nm, 7.2 kJ m−2 day−1) and combined decreased watering and enhanced UV-B irradiation on di- and polyamines in the leaves of Salix myrsinifolia and its hybrid with S. myrsinites. Control plantlets were well-watered and exposed to ambient UV-B irradiation (UV-BBE, 3.6 kJ m−2 day−1). HPLC analyses showed that the constitutive concentrations of soluble di- and polyamines varied markedly between S. myrsinifolia and its hybrids. The degree of responses to treatments also varied: in S. myrsinifolia, concentrations of free putrescine were clearly increased by reduced watering, while in the hybrid willow, change in putrescine was less pronounced and not significant. Results also showed that the increase in putrescine in S. myrsinifolia by reduced watering was mitigated by concurrent enhancement of UV-B irradiation. There were no direct UV-B effects on the soluble polyamines. 相似文献

Two types of behavior have been previously reported in models of immune networks. The typical behavior of simple models, which
involve B cells only, is stationary behavior involving several steady states. Finite amplitude perturbations may cause the
model to switch between different equilibria. The typical behavior of more realistic models, which involve both B cells and
antibody, consists of autonomous oscillations and/or chaos. While stationary behavior leads to easy interpretations in terms
of idiotypic memory, oscillatory behavior seems to be in better agreement with experimental data obtained in unimmunized animals.
Here we study a series of models of the idiotypic interaction between two B cell clones. The models differ with respect to
the incorporation of antibodies, B cell maturation and compartmentalization. The most complicated model in the series has
two realistic parameter regimes in which the behavior is respectively stationary and chaotic. The stability of the equilibrium
states and the structure and interactions of the stable and unstable manifolds of the saddle-type equilibria turn out to be
factors influencing the model's behavior. Whether or not the model is able to attain any form of sustained oscillatory behavior,
i.e. limit cycles or chaos, seems to be determined by (global) bifurcations involving the stable and unstable manifolds of
the equilibrium states. We attempt to determine whether such behavior should be expected to be attained from reasonable initial
conditions by incorporating an immune response to an antigen in the model. A comparison of the behavior of the model with
experimental data from the literature provides suggestions for the parameter regime in which the immune system is operating. 相似文献

We present an analysis of receptor mediated endocytosis which includes the following elements: ligand binding to receptors, interaction of the ligand-receptor complex with coated pits, internalization of coated pit contents, recycling of receptors, and degradation of ligand. The model accounts quantitatively for epidermal growth factor binding and clustering in coated pits at 4°C, for its internalization and degradation at 37°C, and for EGF receptor down-regulation. Steady state analysis of the model indicates that the slope and intercept of a Scatchard plot are functions of the kinetic parameters of the endocytic loop and do not necessarily reflect the affinity and number of receptors in metabolically active cells. Moreover, the model predicts that for homogeneous receptors, a Scatchard plot can be either linear or nonlinear, depending on the concentration of proteins in coated pits which interact with ligand-receptor complexes. A slight generalization of the model in which phorbol ester-receptor complexes compete with EGF-receptor complexes for the same coated pit proteins provides a quantitative explanation for the loss of the high affinity portion of the EGF Scatchard plot subsequent to preincubation with phorbol esters. This explanation leads to the prediction of a local homology between a portion of the phorbol ester receptor sequence and a portion of the EGF receptor sequence. 相似文献
