HIGH BACKGROUND AREA FOR RADIATION EDUCATION

This paper describes our trial experience of the use of high radiation area for radiation education. We used environmental samples collected from the high radiation area in Fukushima prefecture and India, for the practice of radiation measurement and health risk assessment in Nagasaki University Medical School. We also carried out the field monitoring seminar for students in the existing exposure areas in Tottori prefecture and the Yamakiya observatory in Fukushima. Although the evaluation of educational effectiveness is still underway, both types of education appeared attractive for the students mostly due to the exposure from natural environment in our real life which was not achieved by using an artificial radiation source in a classroom

On the selection and design of proteins and peptide derivatives for the production of photoluminescent, red-emitting gold quantum clusters

Novel pathways of the synthesis of photoluminescent gold quantum clusters (AuQCs) using biomolecules as reactants provide biocompatible products for biological imaging techniques. In order to rationalize the rules for the preparation of red-emitting AuQCs in aqueous phase using proteins or peptides, the role of different organic structural units was investigated. Three systems were studied: proteins, peptides, and amino acid mixtures, respectively. We have found that cysteine and tyrosine are indispensable residues. The SH/S-S ratio in a single molecule is not a critical factor in the synthesis, but on the other hand, the stoichiometry of cysteine residues and the gold precursor is crucial. These observations indicate the importance of proper chemical behavior of all species in a wide size range extending from the atomic distances (in the AuI-S semi ring) to nanometer distances covering the larger sizes of proteins assuring the hierarchical structure of the whole self-assembled system

Electron distribution and intracluster reaction in [Na

We have studied excess electron distributions of binary cluster negative ions consisting of sodium atoms and carbon disulfied molecules, Nan(CS2)$_2^-$ (n= 1 and 2) by using photoelectron spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations based on the density functional theory (DFT). The photoelectron spectra indicate the existence of at least two isomers for both n=1 and 2 anions. From the DFT calculations, mainly two types of isomers are found to coexist in the Na(CS2)$_2^-$; one has a van der Waals (vdW) type CS2 dimer core and another has a covalently bonded C2S4 core, both of which were known for CS2 molecular cluster anions. In the latter isomers, the C2S4 portion possesses almost two electrons, which is caused by the valence electron transfer from the Na atom. Also for n=2, we found the isomers of vdW and covalently bonded types. In the isomers with covalently bonded core, the C2S4 portion has more than two electrons, an excess electron and double valence-electron transfer from both of the sodium atoms
