Plastic sheeting is commonly used to conserve water in crop production, but its waste has become a challenge. We report that a silane coupling agents-based coating can be applied to natural clayey soil samples to suppress water evaporation. 一般的に作物の生産で水を節約するために、プラスチックのシートが使われているが、その廃棄物が課題となった。本研究では、水の蒸発を抑制するために、天然の粘土質土壌にシランカップリング剤系コーティングが適用できることを報告している。

Topic (Hirano Lab): From traditional food (tempe bongkrek) to synthesis of pharmaceutical 伝統食品 (テンペ・ボンクレック) と医薬品合成
Bongkrek acid is a natural toxin produced in fermented coconut (tempeh) or corn contaminated by bacteria. ボンクレック酸は、発酵したココナッツ (テンペ) または細菌に汚染されたトウモロコシで生産される天然の毒素です。
TUAT “moonshot” project PI, Dr. T. Suzuki on NHK-TV (Feb.6)“昆虫食”が世界を救う”Insect Food” will save the world.
多様な方法で「貧栄養のエサ」から「良質のたんぱく質を作り出す」昆虫の驚きの能力や、飼育による環境負荷が小さい「地球にやさしい食糧源」としての可能性も見えてきた。various ways, and their potential as an “earth-friendly food source” with a small environmental impact from their farming, have also come to be recognized.

Short Introductions of other papers: /paper/ Komatsuna plants were grown and exposed to ammonium sulfate (((NH4)2SO4), AS) submicron particles for 16 days (22.5 µg m−3 per day) in phytotrons. The amount of particles deposited on the leaf decreased over time, because AS particles deposited on the leaf deliquesced, allowing ions such as SO42− in the…

Simultaneous deposition of submicron aerosols onto both surfaces of a plate substrate by electrostatic forces We demonstrate one-step deposition of submicrometer-sized particles suspended in the gas-phase onto a plate type substrate using an electrostatic-assisted spray system. The particles were deposited on plate-type metallic surfaces, on both front and rear sides of the substrate. This “both-side”…
