High-Resolution Multi-Element Simultaneous AFM Measurements Towards the Development of a Unified Slip Theory Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Graduate School of Engineering The “hotspots” generated in integrated circuits can cause malfunctions and destruction, which cannot be fully addressed by conventional solid heat conduction. On the other hand, microchann [...]
The Comparative Analysis of Shadow Price of carbon using Production Function Analysis Department of Economic Systems, Graduate School of Economics This study uses stochastic frontier analysis to calculate the carbon shadow price and analyze the factors that affect the price. The carbon shadow price is the price to reduce carbon emissions by one [...]
Who Should Capture the Deer? Reconsidering a Sustainable Wildlife Management System Based on a Framework: 'self-help, mutual assistance, and public support' Department of Agro-environmental Sciences, Graduate School of Bioresource and Bioenvironmental Sciences The damage caused by Japanese deer is becoming increasingly serious. To date, deer capture has largely depended on local hunting clubs, but the number and aging of hunters have become critical issues, [...]
Molecular Dynamics Investigation on Transport properties of Li-ion in Electrolytes Department of Interdisciplinary Engineering Science, Interdisciplinary Graduate School of Engineering Sciences My SPRING research focuses on molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of transport properties in lithium-ion battery electrolytes. The project investigates key properties such as diffusivity, viscosity, i [...]
The evaluation of maximum CO2 storage capacity and the permeability change in an igneous high-temperature geothermal reservoir. Department of Earth Resources Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering Although increasing atmospheric CO2 levels will cause climate changes that pose serious risks to humanity, fossil fuels will evidently continue to be used for decades [1]. Large-scale carbon capture [...]
How forests shape the early stages of climate-related disasters Department of Agro-environmental Sciences, Graduate School of Bioresource and Bioenvironmental Sciences Do forests always protect us from heavy rainfall? Forests can temporarily store rainfall on leaves, branches, and bark, delaying the movement of water to the ground. However, during heavy or prolonged [...]
Development of organic thermoelectric devices utilizing charge transfer interface Department of Chemical Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering Currently, there is a growing global demand for the effective utilization of unused thermal energy. Conventional thermoelectric conversion technologies require significant temperature differences of s [...]
Reconstruction of calcium carbonate dissolution and burial changes in the Southern Ocean floor during the past 140,000 years. Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Graduate School of Science The detailed mechanisms that lowered the atmospheric CO2 concentrations by approximately 100 ppm during glacial periods remain a crucial open question. It is hypothesized that increased ocean alkalini [...]
