Antimicrobial peptide magainin 2 forms pores in lipid membranes and induces membrane permeation of the cellular contents. Although this is likely main cause its bactericidal activity, mechanism pore formation remains poorly understood. We therefore investigated detail interaction with using single giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs). The binding to GUVs increased fractional change area membrane, δ, which was proportional surface concentration 2, X. This indicates that rate constant 2-induced...
To realize the application of forward osmosis (FO) membranes to industrial-level water treatment, correct selection draw solute (DS) and good membrane performance is necessary. In this study, FO flux behavior was investigated using solutes inorganic salt (NaCl) neutral polymers (PEGs) with molecular weights 200–8300. The dramatically decreased increasing weight DS. Severe internal concentration polarization originated from lower diffusivity larger DS molecules, which brought about reduction....
Solution concentration processes such as evaporation, freeze concentration, and reverse osmosis are commonly used in food processing environmental applications. However, these frequently examined to lower energy costs improve ratios. This study performed tests theoretical calculations for osmotically assisted (OARO) using a pilot-scale hollow-fiber membrane module. In the test NaCl solution, water flux ratio were measured with changing flow rate, applied pressure. Water permeation solution...
Yields decrease when soybean is sown later than recommended in the cool climate of Tohoku region Japan. However, factors responsible for this are not fully understood. We investigated effects late sowing on growth, phenological development, yield, yield components, and radiation interception three cultivars two consecutive years analyzed relationships those variables with temperature soil volumetric moisture content (SMC). Averaged across cultivars, yields decreased significantly plants were...
To investigate how the long-term application of inorganic fertilizer and organic amendments affects turnover rates matter in physico-chemically fractionated components paddy soils their are related to amounts, we studied effect variable management for > 50 years on ∆14C values accumulated soil carbon (SOC) 5 samples from three fields. SOC was into four based physico-chemical properties: (1) light fraction (LF) derived plant residues, (2) heavy (HF) containing stable aggregates, (3)...
In Japan, soil pH is primarily measured using water with a solid-to-liquid (SL) ratio of 1:2.5, whereas measurement methods vary by country. Although some estimation models for each country have been developed to convert other methods, suitable soils in Japan remain unidentified. Therefore, we propose estimating the various values from those an SL 1:2.5. We collected dataset 192 topsoil properties paddy-upland rotation fields eastern Japan. The comprised pH, electrical conductivity (EC,...
To investigate how the long-term application of inorganic fertilizer and organic amendments affects accumulation matter in physico-chemically fractionated components paddy soils is determined by soil properties anthropogenic carbon input, we studied effect variable management for > 50 years on amounts accumulated (SOC) three fields.
