Humic acid (HA) can strongly complex with metal ions to form a supramolecular assembly via coordination binding. However, determining the supramolecular size distribution and stoichiometry between small HA unit molecules constituting HA supramolecule and metal ions has proven to be challenging. Here, we investigated the changes in the size distributions of HAs induced by Cu$$^{2+}$$ and Tb$$^{3+}$$ ions using a unique polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) for the separation and quantification of HA complexes and metal ions bound, followed by UV-Vis spectroscopy and EEM-PARAFAC. It was found that the supramolecular behaviors of Cu$$^{2+}$$ and Tb$$^{3+}$$ complexes with HA collected from peat and deep groundwater (HHA) differed. Our results suggest that this supramolecular stoichiometry is related to the abundance of sulfur atoms in the elemental composition of HHA. Our results provide new insights into HA supramolecules formed via metal complexation.

A multi-domain protein can have various conformations in solution. Interactions with other molecules result in the stabilization of one of the conformations and change in the domain dynamics. SAXS, a well-established experimental technique, can be employed to elucidate the conformation of a multi-domain protein in solution. NSE spectroscopy is a promising technique for recording the domain dynamics in nanosecond and nanometer scale. Despite the great efforts, there are still under development. Thus, we quantitatively removed the contribution of diffusion dynamics and hydrodynamic interactions from the NSE data via incoherent scattering, revealing the differences in the domain dynamics of the three functional states of a multi-domain protein, MurD. The differences among the three states can be explained by two domain modes.

Development of a robot simulation system for remotely operated robots for operator proficiency training and robot performance verification

Kawabata, Kuniaki; Suzuki, Kenta; Isowa, Mitsuru*; Horiuchi, Kazunori; Ito, Rintaro

Proceedings of 14th International Conference on Ubiquitous Robots and Ambient Intelligence (URAI 2017) (USB Flash Drive), p.561 - 564, 2017/06

This paper describes the current status of the development of a simulation system for remotely operated robots. The system will be used for operator proficiency training and robot performance verification. Our purpose for developing this system is to contribute to decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (FDNPS). The simulator system was designed using Choreonoid, a simulator development tool. The effects of view disturbances, communication failures, and so on are extended functions that are implemented on the simulator. The effects of water submergence on the physical behavior of underwater robots are also implemented. In this paper, we introduce the prototype of the robotic simulator system with the newly implemented extended functions. Some examples of system output are shown.

Development of a sensor unit for simultaneous collection of dose rate and measurement position

Kawabata, Kuniaki; Shirasaki, Norihito*; Abe, Hiroyuki*; Hanari, Toshihide; Ito, Rintaro; Imabuchi, Takashi; Yamada, Taichi

no journal, , 

This paper describes a system for realizing simultaneous and synchronized collection of air dose rates and measurement locations for efficient dosimetry survey and spatio-temporal dosimetry data logging in nuclear facilities. The prototype system, which is currently under development, mainly consists of a 3D LiDAR-SLAM unit and a dosimeter integrated in a ROS framework. In this paper, we present the configuration of the prototype and the preliminary experimental results of dosimeter position estimation using it.

no journal, , 

In this report, we present the validation results of the radiation source inverse estimation computation method and the effectiveness evaluation method of the "estimation system of radiation sources and dose rates" developed by JAEA. As for the validation test, the JMTR was used as the evaluation site, and the results of radiation source inverse estimation computations were compared with measured data. As a result, it was confirmed that the hot spot could be estimated approximately well. As for the effectiveness evaluation, the test field to be established at the NARREC and at the JMTR were used as the evaluation sites, and the effectiveness evaluation items such as the functions of each tool and the process of the system were summarized.

no journal, , 

In the decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi NPS (1F), prior to the full-scale implementation of fuel debris removal operations, it is necessary to improve the on-site environment in order to safely and efficiently construct access routes in the reactor building (R/B). Then, JAEA is now developing a prototype system that estimates radioactive source distributions by using on-site dose rate data and examines countermeasure effects of such as decontamination, shielding with estimated contamination (radiation sources) on the estimated sources in cyberspace. This report presents overview of the development project and its current status.

Development of test methods for small UAS mobility evaluation in a narrow space

Yamada, Taichi; Aoki, Yuto; Suzuki, Soichiro; Ito, Rintaro; Kawabata, Kuniaki

no journal, , 

We develop performance evaluation methods for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in narrow spaces. It isn't easy to discuss UAS performance, that is, what and how much a user can do with the UAS. In addition, when a UAS-deployed environment affects UAS functions, the discussion becomes more complex. This development aims to provide an easy-to-understand evaluation for UAS users, even those without technical knowledge, thereby contributing to the growth of the UAS industry. We are proceeding with the development, having repeatedly exchanged views with UAS users and manufacturers early in this development. This paper introduces the evaluation method under development for UAS performance to ascend through an aperture, especially its test field, task, procedure, and evaluation metric.

Simulation technology is important for efficient development of remotely operated robots for decommissioning Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plants (herein referred to as 1F) and training operators to use the robots. We developed an extension to Choreonoid to simulate operation of an underwater, remotely operated vehicle (ROV).

This paper, describe the development of the operation training function for repair work of leakage part of reactor primary containment vessel by remotely operated manipulator using VR. Remote operation of the manipulator with limited feedback information is difficult and therefore prior operation proficiency training is important to complete such difficult task safely. Therefore, we are developing an operation training function that enables the operator not only to perform operation training, but also to confirm the operation of the remote control device actually operated by himself in the actual size and three-dimensionally in the VR space. In this paper, we reported current status of the development and recent improvements for operation training function.
