Times Cited Count：1 Percentile：22.72(Astronomy & Astrophysics)We identified two energetic electron precipitation (EEP) events during the growth phase of moderate substorms and estimated the mesospheric ionization rate for an EEP event for which the most comprehensive dataset from ground-based and space-born instruments was available. The mesospheric ionization signature reached below 70 km altitude and continued for ~15 min until the substorm onset, as observed by the PANSY radar and imaging riometer at Syowa Station in the Antarctic region. We also used energetic electron flux observed by the Arase and POES 15 satellites as the input for the air-shower simulation code PHITS to quantitatively estimate the mesospheric ionization rate. Combining the cutting-edge observations and simulations, we shed new light on the space weather impact of the EEP events during geomagnetically quiet times, which is important to understand the possible link between the space environment and climate.

Multilateral Nuclear Approach (MNA) provides services on the frontend and the backend to the states possessing nuclear power plants with nuclear non-proliferation measures and without interfering with the inalienable right in NPT may be one of the most effective and efficient manners for peaceful use of nuclear energy. Recent MNA discussions tend to focus on reliable fuel supply, namely front-end of NFC, where proliferation of uranium enrichment can be deterred. At the same time, the MNA capability to provide assurance/service that the Spent Fuel be managed properly is actually more important. In this work a regional MNA framework was studied to fulfil the above mentioned points.

Si semiconductor production by Neutron Transmutation Doping (NTD) method using the Japan Materials Testing Reactor (JMTR) has been investigated in Neutron Irradiation and Testing Reactor Center, Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) in order to expand industry use. As a part of investigations, irradiation test of silicon ingot for development of NTD-Si with high quality was planned using WWR-K in Institute of Nuclear Physics (INP), National Nuclear Center of Republic of Kazakhstan (NNC-RK) based on one of specific topics of cooperation (STC), Irradiation Technology for NTD-Si (STC No.II-4), on the implementing arrangement between NNC-RK and the JAEA for "Nuclear Technology on Testing/Research Reactors" in cooperation in research and development in nuclear energy and technology. As for the irradiation test, Si rotating device was fabricated in JAEA, and the fabricated device was transported with irradiation specimens from JAEA to INP-NNC-RK. This report described the design, the fabrication, the performance test of the Si rotating device and transportation procedures.

It was found that quantum efficiency of chemical evolution from Gly2 to glycilglycilglycine (Gly3) is smaller than that to glycilglycilglycilglycine (Gly4) due to the multiple step of reaction. From natural circular dichroism spectra measurements for serine and alanine films, we found the splitting of 1s
transitions in the energy region of oxygen 1s.

Times Cited Count：73 Percentile：89.36(Polymer Science)On the basis of results from a small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) study of aqueous solutions of a telechelic PNIPAM with octadecyl end groups, we developed a theoretical model of the self-assembly of this polymer in water as a function of temperature and concentration. This model leads us to the following description. In solutions of concentration 10 gL
kept between 10 and 20
C, telechelic PNIPAMs (
) 22 200 gmol) associate in the form of flower micelles, containing about 12 polymer chains, assembled in a three-layered core-shell morphology with an inner core consisting of the octadecyl units, a dense inner shell consisting of partly collapsed PNIPAM chains, and an outer shell of swollen hydrated chains. Drastic changes in the scattering profile of the solution heated above 31C are attributed to the formation of mesoglobules (diameter of 40 nm) consisting of about 1000 polymer chains. On further heating, the aggregation number of the mesoglobules increases. It reaches a value of 9000 at 34C and stays constant upon further heating. In solutions of lower concentration (1 gL), association of flower micelles and mesoglobules does not occur; however, the structure of individual flower micelles and mesoglobules is not affected by the change in concentration. In solutions of 50 gL in which flower micelles are expected to be partially connected by bridge chains, a peak attributed to correlation between flower micelles appears in the scattering profiles recorded at low temperature (10-20C). In spite of the intermicellar bridging connection, the overall temperature dependence of the scattering profile at 50 gL remains similar to that at 10 gL. Distinct features of the self-assembled structures formed in aqueous telechelic PNIPAM solutions are discussed in terms of the interactions between water and the polymer main chains.

) and polyamidoamine dendrimers (GN-NH) in a mixed solvent of methanol and N, N-dimethylformamide. We aim to explore effects of the generation number (GN) and concentration of the dendrimers, [GN-NH], on the self-assembly of the dendrimers (defined hereafter as "templates") and the Pd nanoparticles inside the templates in order to clarify physical factors controlling the self-assembling mechanisms. We found that the templates are formed only when [GN-NH] falls below a critical value and thereby a sufficient amount of Pd(OAc) exists as the binders between the dendrimers. Otherwise dendrimers are molecularly dispersed in solution.

Times Cited Count：30 Percentile：65.02(Polymer Science)We have investigated the self-assembling process of cellulose artificially synthesized via enzymatic polymerization as one of general problems of non-equilibrium phenomenon and pattern formation. The chemical reaction and the self-assembling process were explored at real time and in-situ by a combined small-angle neutron scattering (SANS), small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), ultra-SANS and ultra-SAXS method, together with wide-angle X-ray diffraction and field-emission scanning electron microscopy. The results revealed for the first time the following pieces of new evidence: (1) The enzymes (cellulase) as a catalyst aggregate themselves into associations; (2) Cellulose molecules created at each active site of enzymes associate themselves around the enzyme associations into cellulose aggregates having surface fractal dimensions Ds, increasing from 2 to 2.3 with reaction time. (3) The fractal structure formed at the end of the reaction extends over a surprisingly wide length scale ranging from 30 nm to 30 
m (3 orders of magnitude).

The process was induced by mixing the following two solutions: (A) Pd(OAc) dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and (B) the G1-NH dissolved in methanol, under a specific condition of 
[Pd(OAc)]/[-NH] = 3.3 where [-NH] is mole concentration of the amine groups in the dendrimer in the reaction solution. The reaction and reaction-induced self-assembling process were explored in-situ by means of a combined time-resolved method of small-angle neutron scattering and small-angle X-ray scattering. The method revealed time-evolution of a series of self-assembling processes occurring in the system.

Consequently, its upper q-limit was improved from 0.2 to 2. To quantitatively discriminate spin incoherent scattering from hydrogen or to perform nuclear spin polarization contrast variation, a remanent supermirror analyser is also available on the high-angle sub detector. By combining a focusing ultra-small angle scattering, realized by compound and/or magnetic lens and high resolution area detector, SANS-J-II is able to cover from 3
