Development of Extinction Risk Assessment Method Based on Habitat Occurrences for Vascular Plants Department of Systems Life Sciences, Graduate School of Systems Life Sciences The claim that ‘biodiversity is globally declining’ is widely accepted. However, quantitative assessments of global decline have primarily focused on vertebrate species, and the vast numbe [...]
The Impact of Housing Renovation Policies on CO2 Emissions Over the Life Cycle of Houses Department of Economic Systems, Graduate School of Economics The housing and building sector accounts for about 30% of Japan’s energy consumption and is in urgent need of CO2 reduction. The current policy focuses on reducing CO2 emissions during operation [...]
Fabrication of novel protein fibers reinforced by Incorporating fibrous protein assemblies as fiber reinforcements Department of Applied Chemistry, Graduate School of Engineering Artificial protein fibers that do not depend on exhaustible resources are attracting attention as next-generation materials that contribute to the realization of a recycling-oriented society. In parti [...]
Construction of Integrated Analysis Method for Reaction and Transport Characteristics of Reversible Solid Oxide Cells by Electrode Defect Chemistry Department of Hydrogen Energy Systems, Graduate School of Engineering Reversible solid oxide cells (r-SOCs), which can switch reversibly between power generation and electrolysis, are attracting attention as a long-term energy storage method that can mitigate fluctuatio [...]
New yield prediction based on translocation mechanism and nonuniformity of environment in the strawberry canopy: Visualization of fluctuation and distribution of yield components Department of Agro-environmental Sciences, Graduate School of Bioresource and Bioenvironmental Sciences The yield prediction tools supporting to make the decision of growers on greenhouse environment control and cultivation management are crucial for highly profitable and stable production. In productio [...]
Water-Saving Effects of Automated Water Management Technology and Their Contribution to Flood Control Department of Agro-environmental Sciences, Graduate School of Bioresource and Bioenvironmental Sciences Automated water management technologies using ICT devices have been proposed for paddy fields. These systems are expected to reduce farmers’ labor and save water, but their high installation cost rema [...]
Dense MT and Seismic Observations for Elucidating Earthquake Initiation Processes in Intraplate Earthquakes Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Graduate School of Science This study aims to elucidate the role of deep fluids in the initiation process of intraplate earthquakes. Focusing on the 2000 Western Tottori Earthquake, we integrate magnetotelluric (MT) resistivity [...]
Study on Chemical Durability of Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells. Department of Hydrogen Energy Systems, Graduate School of Engineering Polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) are increasingly being applied in the transportation field, particularly in fuel cell vehicles, and are expected to be used in larger vehicles such as trucks and [...]
