There has been reported the polymorphism containing two-to eight-fold repeats of 48-base-pair sequence in the putative third cytoplasmic loop region of dopamine D4 receptor gene (1,2). Such variation among humans may underlie individual differences in susceptibility to neuropsychiatric disease and in responsiveness to antipsychotic medication (1). In this report, we show the detection of the polymorphism among Japanese population by PCR.

Current meter observations, Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) profiles, and river discharges are combined with two numerical models to understand better the estuarine and tidal circulation in the Broughton
