To select urban greening tree species suitable for the purification of atmosphere polluted by black carbon (BC) particles, it is necessary to clarify determinants amount BC particles deposited on leaves. In present study, we investigated relationship between that were from and firmly adhered leaf epicuticular wax, surface traits in seedlings nine grown two years under natural conditions (Fuchu, Tokyo, Japan). There was a significant interspecific difference maximum surface, order as follows:...
This study was to examine in vivo digestibility, nitrogen balance and ruminal fermentation of tamarind (Tamarind indica) kernel powder extract residue (TKPER) compared soybean products by-products wethers.Four wethers with initial body weight (BW) 51.6±5.5 kg were assigned a 4×4 Latin square design investigate nutritional characteristics TKPER, dry heat (SB), curd (SBCR) meal (SBM) feeding ryegrass straw (R) at ratio 1:1 2% BW matter (DM) on daily basis.The digestibility DM, crude protein,...
Preparation of cyclic polyphenylene array 2, which corresponds to a complete carbon zigzag-type CNT segment with (18,0)-structure, has been established by Diels-Alder reaction biphenylylene-acetylene derivative 1 tetraphenylcyclopentadienone. The 2 excess FeCl3 realized presumed cyclodehydrogenation and elimination the alkyl chains that were introduced as measure counter low solubility problem, but this resulted in formation complicated mixture included mass region (18,0)-structure. rather...
Abstract The intake, digestion, and ruminal fermentation properties; the antioxidative activity; physical effectiveness of pineapple residue (PR) from cut‐fruit industry as a feed for cattle were investigated. Four nonlactating Holstein cows fed basal diet diets with 1.4‐ 3.6‐kg dry matter (DM)/day PR (low‐PR high‐PR diets, respectively). DM digestibility total digestible nutrients 71% 70%, respectively. Ruminal pH, volatile fatty acids, ammonia‐N did not differ among diets. numbers viable,...
A block copolymer consisting of helically twisted polyacetylene and α-helical peptide was successfully synthesized for the first time.
Bioethanol has great potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve energy security, and help revitalize agriculture. Accordingly, an E10 policy that substitutes bioethanol for 10% of all gasoline consumed will be globally popular. The present study aims analyze the economic effects production in nine ASEAN countries (except Brunei), with efforts minimize CO2 emissions. We consider two self-sufficient policies, i.e. self-sufficiency within each country region under scheme a quota....
Abstract This paper presents a more detailed discussion on the kinetics of formaldehyde polymerization under gamma‐irradiation than previous 2 . Polymerization took place in toluene and ethyl bromide within range −50°∼−80°C. The overall reaction is approximately third‐order with respect to monomer. average molecular weight polyoxymethylene obtained little dependent initial concentration monomer dose rate. first order It believed from facts here that polymerization, which transfer process...
We examined the in vitro fermentation characteristics and situ dry matter (DM) crude protein (CP) degradability of tamarind kernel powder extract residue (TKPER), a by-product polysaccharides thickener processing. Two types TKPER (I II), which CP neutral detergent fiber organic basis contents (%) were 41.4 42.0 1.4 0.5, respectively, compared with heat soybean (SB), meal (SBM) curd (SBCR). The TKPERs had significantly lower gas production to other products at each observation time (P <...
The ruminal degradation parameters of sunflower cake (SFC), a by-product left after the mechanical extraction oil from seeds, were estimated in an situ experiment using cow. And also effect feeding SFC on nutrient digestibilities, digestible energy, nitrogen balance, and blood properties investigated trial four Shiba goats compared isonitrogenously with soybean meal (SBM). results demonstrated that had high soluble protein (>70%) 97% total degradable protein. revealed 85% crude digestibility...
In the production of bioethanol in Asia, developed countries such as Japan have problems high cost and a lack resources, while Southeast Asian substantial biomass export potential. The purpose this study is to optimize international supply East Asia. A linear model estimate costs, energy consumption, carbon emissions three processes: cultivation, conversion, transport. order consider regional characteristics producing countries, price, electric power generation, fertilizer usage,...
Abstract The reported efficiency of N usage by sunflower cake (SFC) was inferior to that soybean meal (SBM) in a study which the non‐fiber carbohydrate (NFC) content lower SFC diet. Here, we adjusted crude protein (CP) and NFC levels near‐equivalence among three diets containing or SBM for four non‐lactating Holstein cows. Alfalfa hay also added comparison. results demonstrated total digestible nutrient contents were not significantly different diets. Intake N, fecal absorbed urinary...
Bioethanol is expected as a prospective alternative to fossil fuels for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. The study aims design bioethanol production system utilizing energy crops in restorable fallow land Japan and evaluate performance based on balances, costs, carbon has three processes such cultivation, transportation, manufacturing. In the analysis, potential area calculated considering crop species, yields, chemical components, available areas, conversion efficiency. Then, derived...
As black carbon (BC) particles can be deposited on the leaf surfaces, urban greening is considered to effective in purifying air. However, little information seasonal variations amount of BC surfaces (BC leaves) available Japanese tree species. Therefore, we investigated leaves evergreen (Quercus glauca, Quercus myrsinaefolia, Osmanthus fragrans and Ilex rotunda) deciduous (Zelkova serrata, Styrax japonica, Magnolia kobus, Cornus kousa florida) broad-leaved The tended increase from April for...
We classify = 1 orbifolds on the E6 root lattice and investigate explicit model constructions ℤ3 × orbifold in heterotic string theory. Interestingly some of twisted sectors from have just three fixed tori respectively, generate degenerate massless states. also found point functions with flavor mixing terms. assume only non-standard gauge embeddings find that they lead to three-family SU(5) SO(10) GUT-like models. These models include strongly coupled low energy messenger states charged both...
Bio-ethanol (BE) plays an important role in the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Since East Asian countries face different economic and political situations are located under climatic conditions, GHG emissions, production costs materials available for BE differ, it is crucial to optimize trade among by coordinating policies. This paper aims show merits a policy coordination scheme trade. The inter-regional I/O table was estimated from GTAP (Global Trade Analysis Project, ver. 7)...
