Unraveling the molecular basis of prolonged delayed fertilization in Fagaceae Department of Systems Life Sciences, Graduate School of Systems Life Sciences Delayed fertilization — in which fertilization is postponed by days or more after pollination — has evolved repeatedly in terrestrial organisms. In Fagaceae trees, “1-year fruiting” specie [...]
Diversity and Commonalities in Factors Contributing to the Sustainability of Honeybee Utilization: A case study of Laos Department of Integrated Sciences for Global Society, Graduate School of Integrated Sciences for Global Society This study compares honeybee species, their surrounding environments, and management practices in an effort to elucidate the commonalities and diversity in the factors contributing to the sustainabili [...]
Cesium Removal from Aqueous Solutions by a Nano Zero-Valent Iron and Titanium Dioxide Composite (TiO₂@nZVI) Department of Interdisciplinary Engineering Science, Interdisciplinary Graduate School of Engineering Sciences Due to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, radioactive materials were released into the sea and groundwater. Cesium-137, which has a long half-life of approximately 30.2 years, is one of the radio [...]
Surface effect on the gas permeation of nanomembranes and their CO2 selectivity enhancement by post-molecular modification Department of Applied Chemistry, Graduate School of Engineering Membrane separation has the potential to be a low-cost CO2 capture technology owing to its simple setup and small energy consumption. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) free-standing nanomembranes (FNM) have [...]
Realizing CFPS beyond the limits of biological production Department of Physics, Graduate School of Science My ultimate goal is to establish a fundamental theory for the artificial mass production of natural and engineered proteins as catalysts, novel materials, and pharmaceuticals capable of degrading dive [...]
海洋における昆虫の“海流分散による分布拡大”に対する新たなアプローチ 〜昆虫の海水耐性が遺伝的交流に与える影響と”浮遊分散”の可能性〜 Department of Integrated Sciences for Global Society, Graduate School of Integrated Sciences for Global Society 海流分散は、生物が海流に乗り漂着先で繁殖し生息地が広がることを指し、島嶼地域では他の分散方法に比べ、その頻度は高いと考えられ、生物相の成立考えるうえで重要な要素となる。しかし、既存の昆虫の海流分散に関する研究は、分子集団遺伝学的解析によるものばかりで他指標を用いて海流分散を示唆した研究は少ない。したがって、本研究では、海水耐性という新たな指標から昆虫の分布形成に対する海流の影響を評価する。
Elucidation of the vegetation history of post-war afforestation and examination of suitable sites for reforestation using agricultural and forestry statistics Department of Agro-environmental Sciences, Graduate School of Bioresource and Bioenvironmental Sciences This study attempted to reconstruct the vegetation history of post-war afforested plantations throughout the country at the level of former municipalities using GIS (Geographic Information System) and [...]
Chemical Structure Analysis and Origin Identification Based on the Elemental Composition of Clay Minerals Department of Agro-environmental Sciences, Graduate School of Bioresource and Bioenvironmental Sciences This study focuses on the chemical structure and weathering of muscovite derived from Asian aeolian dust in Japanese soils. Soil samples from Tsushima, Fukuoka, and Okinawa will be analyzed by EPMA af [...]
