Abstract: A Gpbar1-deficient mouse is constructed and it is examined whether or not Gpbar1 participates in the regulation of bile acid homeostasis and lipid metabolism. As a result, the total bile acid pool is decreased in the Gpbar1-deficient mouse without showing any change in the fecal bile acid level. A  female Gpbar1-deficient mouse having been fed with a high fat feed shows a significant increase in body weight compared with a wild type mouse, which is caused by an increase in fat. These facts suggest that Gpbar1 contributes to the regulation of bile acid homeostasis and lipid metabolism.

Abstract: A method of determining a plurality of outcomes of a game of chance played on a computational gaming apparatus. The method will typically be employed in a spinning reel type game although the method may be employed with other games or on other gaming machines. In a spinning reel game the method may be implemented by providing a first game event in which a plurality of symbols are spun up on a plurality of spinning reels to form an array of symbols, each spinning reel spinning up at least three symbols and at least one of the spinning reels being defined so that at least two feature symbols can be simultaneously spun up on that reel. The result of the spin is then evaluated to assess whether two or more feature symbols have been spun up on the same reel and, if so, a second game event is provided in which the two or more feature symbols and all other the symbols spun up on the same reel are converted to special symbols. The special symbols have an enhanced play characteristic in comparison to the other symbols, and the outcome of the game is then re-evaluated to establish whether any outcomes exist which define a winning combination. A prize or an award is awarded if one or more winning combinations exist. The invention extends to a gaming machine on which the method is played.

Abstract: An atomic scale electroconductivity device with electrostatic regulation includes a perturbing species having a localized electronic charge, A sensing species having an electronic conductivity is placed in proximity to the perturbing species at a distance sufficient to induce a change in the electronic conductivity associated with the localized electronic charge.  Electronics are provided to measure the conductivity via the sensing species.  A temporally controlled atomic scale transistor is provided by biasing a substrate to a substrate voltage with respect to ground. A dangling bond extending from a substrate atom has a charge state from among a charge state group. The charge state varies in units of single electron addition or withdrawal. A grounded electrical contact is provided within a localized electronic charge in proximity to the dangling bond. A sensing species having an electronic conductivity is also placed in proximity to the dangling bond. A  sensing species contact biased with respect to said substrate is provided such that varying the substrate voltage modifies the charge state of the substrate atom at one electron unit of charge and still within the charge state group for the substrate atom. The dangling bond functions as a single atom gate electrode. By placing the dangling bond in an array of sensing species, an atomistic multi-channel gate transistor is formed. A process for operating an electrostatically regulated atomic scale electroconductivity device includes charging a perturbing atomic or molecular species having a localized electronic charge associated therewith so as to induce an electrostatic field.  By monitoring electronic conductivity through a sensing atom or molecule in proximity to the electrostatic field, an atomic scale device is formed.
