The result of this study can be used as a Decision SupportSystem (DSS) to help the stakeholders in addressing the malnutrition problems on the righttarget by pressing the factor

Bulk and surface switching in Mn-Fe-based Prussian Blue Analogues

Many Prussian Blue Analogues are known to show a thermally induced phase transition close to room temperature and a reversible, photo-induced phase transition at low temperatures. This work reports on magnetic measurements, X-ray photoemission and Raman spectroscopy on a particular class of these molecular heterobimetallic systems, specifically on Rb0.81Mn[Fe(CN)6]0.95_1.24H2O, Rb0.97Mn[Fe(CN)6]0.98_1.03H2O and Rb0.70Cu0.22Mn0.78[Fe(CN)6]0.86_2.05H2O, to investigate these transition phenomena both in the bulk of the material and at the sample surface. Results indicate a high degree of charge transfer in the bulk, while a substantially reduced conversion is found at the sample surface, even in case of a near perfect (Rb:Mn:Fe=1:1:1) stoichiometry. Thus, the intrinsic incompleteness of the charge transfer transition in these materials is found to be primarily due to surface reconstruction. Substitution of a large fraction of charge transfer active Mn ions by charge transfer inactive Cu ions leads to a proportional conversion reduction with respect to the maximum conversion that is still stoichiometrically possible and shows the charge transfer capability of metal centers to be quite robust upon inclusion of a neighboring impurity. Additionally, a 532 nm photo-induced metastable state, reminiscent of the high temperature Fe(III)Mn(II) ground state, is found at temperatures 50-100 K. The efficiency of photo-excitation to the metastable state is found to be maximized around 90 K. The photo-induced state is observed to relax to the low temperature Fe(II)Mn(III) ground state at a temperature of approximately 123 K.Comment: 12 pages, 8 figure

Realization of the mean-field universality class in spin-crossover materials

In spin-crossover materials, the volume of a molecule changes depending on whether it is in the high-spin (HS) or low-spin (LS) state. This change causes distortion of the lattice. Elastic interactions among these distortions play an important role for the cooperative properties of spin-transition phenomena. We find that the critical behavior caused by this elastic interaction belongs to the mean-field universality class, in which the critical exponents for the spontaneous magnetization and the susceptibility are $\beta = 1/2$ and $\gamma = 1$, respectively. Furthermore, the spin-spin correlation function is a constant at long distances, and it does not show an exponential decay in contrast to short-range models. The value of the correlation function at long distances shows different size-dependences: $O(1/N)$, $O(1/\sqrt{N})$, and constant for temperatures above, at, and below the critical temperature, respectively. The model does not exhibit clusters, even near the critical point. We also found that cluster growth is suppressed in the present model and that there is no critical opalescence in the coexistence region. During the relaxation process from a metastable state at the end of a hysteresis loop, nucleation phenomena are not observed, and spatially uniform configurations are maintained during the change of the fraction of HS and LS. These characteristics of the mean-field model are expected to be found not only in spin-crossover materials, but also generally in systems where elastic distortion mediates the interaction among local states.Comment: 13 pages, 16 figure

COTINUED EFFORTS IN THE CREATION OF AN ACTIVE EDUCATION ENVIRONMENT IN NIT, GIFU COLLEGE

Since 2001, with the help of the operating support fund from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), our college has placed personal computers in the fourth-year classrooms, so that every student has exclusive use of a personal computer. However, in our fourth replacement of the entire system made last year, the fourth-year classrooms were reborn as classrooms where active education can be practiced. At the same time, the number of the seminar rooms of the Information Processing Center was increased from 3 to 5. Last year's activities related to the “Acceleration Program for Rebuilding of University Education (AP)” were to install equipment such as electronic blackboards primarily in the second and third-year classrooms, while promoting active education simultaneously in the second and third-year classes as well as in the first-year classes; equipment such as electronic blackboards was installed in the first-year classrooms two years ago. This year’s activities are to install equipment such as electronic blackboards in the fourth and fifth-year classrooms, while promoting active education simultaneously in the classes of all years in all five departments. In academic year 2015, we promoted active education mainly by making specific, elementary-level teaching materials, based on the items suggested by some senior graduates of our college working in Japanese industries. The teaching materials made from senior graduates' recommendations had a different focus from those of our teachers. Also, in our college, we are aiming that students will acquire the ability to describe matters related to engineering in English, while promoting the interactions between the teaching of technical English and that of the specialized subjects through active education. The activities of our college in visualizing our educational content are promoted by clearly showing the learning content of each student conducted outside the campus and developing a database system which enables students to visually evaluate their degree of attainment. In academic year 2015, we developed a database system to visualize the learning content conducted outside the campus and started operations.The 10th International Symposium on Advances in Technology Education (ISATE 2016), 13-16 September 2016, Tohoku university Sendai, Japanconference pape

High‐resolution archaellum structure reveals a conserved metal‐binding site

Many archaea swim by means of archaella. While the archaellum is similar in function to its bacterial counterpart, its structure, composition, and evolution are fundamentally different. Archaella are related to archaeal and bacterial type IV pili. Despite recent advances, our understanding of molecular processes governing archaellum assembly and stability is still incomplete. Here, we determine the structures of Methanococcus archaella by X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM. The crystal structure of Methanocaldococcus jannaschii FlaB1 is the first and only crystal structure of any archaellin to date at a resolution of 1.5 angstrom, which is put into biological context by a cryo-EM reconstruction from Methanococcus maripaludis archaella at 4 angstrom resolution created with helical single-particle analysis. Our results indicate that the archaellum is predominantly composed of FlaB1. We identify N-linked glycosylation by cryo-EM and mass spectrometry. The crystal structure reveals a highly conserved metal-binding site, which is validated by mass spectrometry and electron energy-loss spectroscopy. We show invitro that the metal-binding site, which appears to be a widespread property of archaellin, is required for filament integrity

Low-temperature gas from marine shales: wet gas to dry gas over experimental time

Marine shales exhibit unusual behavior at low temperatures under anoxic gas flow. They generate catalytic gas 300° below thermal cracking temperatures, discontinuously in aperiodic episodes, and lose these properties on exposure to trace amounts of oxygen. Here we report a surprising reversal in hydrocarbon generation. Heavy hydrocarbons are formed before light hydrocarbons resulting in wet gas at the onset of generation grading to dryer gas over time. The effect is moderate under gas flow and substantial in closed reactions. In sequential closed reactions at 100°C, gas from a Cretaceous Mowry shale progresses from predominately heavy hydrocarbons (66% C5, 2% C1) to predominantly light hydrocarbons (56% C1, 8% C5), the opposite of that expected from desorption of preexisting hydrocarbons. Differences in catalyst substrate composition explain these dynamics. Gas flow should carry heavier hydrocarbons to catalytic sites, in contrast to static conditions where catalytic sites are limited to in-place hydrocarbons. In-place hydrocarbons and their products should become lighter with conversion thus generating lighter hydrocarbon over time, consistent with our experimental results
