Chaotically oscillating interfaces in a parametrically forced system.

Structures and motions of a single interface exhibiting chaotic behavior are studied in the one-dimensional parametrically forced complex Ginzburg-Landau equation. There exist two kinds of chaotic interfaces whose differences are characterized by their chiral symmetry and the diffusivity of their motion. The transition between these behaviors is also investigated from the viewpoint of singularities of several dynamical variables, such as the diffusion constant, the resident time to each state, and the maximum trapping time to the unstable solution.

Directional crack propagation of granular water systems.

Pattern dynamics of directional crack propagation phenomena observed in drying process of starch-water mixture is investigated. To visualize the three-dimensional structure of the drying-fracture process two kinds of experiments are performed, i.e., resin solidification planing method and real-time measurement of water content distribution with MR instruments. A cross section with polygonal structure is visualized in both experiments. The depth dependency of cell size is measured. The phenomenological model for water transportation is also discussed.

Haploinsufficiency of NSD1 causes Sotos syndrome.

We isolated NSD1 from the 5q35 breakpoint in an individual with Sotos syndrome harboring a chromosomal translocation. We identified 1 nonsense, 3 frameshift and 20 submicroscopic deletion mutations of NSD1 among 42 individuals with sporadic cases of Sotos syndrome. The results indicate that haploinsufficiency of NSD1 is the major cause of Sotos syndrome.
