Very Low Nucleation Rates of Glucose Isomerase Crystals under Microgravity in the International Space Station

In situ observation of the nucleation and growth of glucose isomerase (GI) crystals under microgravity was conducted using an optical microscope during the first flight of the Advanced Nano Step project undertaken in the International Space Station (ISS). Very low apparent nucleation rates (J’) of GI crystals in the solution and on the substrate of the growth container were confirmed compared with those on the ground. In particular, J’ of GI crystals in the solution were a few times lower than that on the substrate. The growth rates (R) of the {101} faces of GI crystals on the substrate and the apparent growth rates (R’) in the solution were measured. The very low nucleation rates allowed us to successfully measure R at a very high supersaturation region (up to ln(C/Ce) = 6), at which R cannot be measured on the ground

文部科学省中央教育審議会答申・報告にみるインクルーシブ教育システム構築のための特別支援教育教員研修の動向

This paper summarises the changes from 1996 to 2017 in special needs education training for current teachers, based on findings reported by the Central Council for Education of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan (MEXT). As preparations to ratify the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities have progressed through the 2005 report \u27An Ideal System for Promoting Special Needs Education\u27 and the 2007 signing of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, special needs education has been made an issue requiring action by schools as a whole, and the proposals in the findings include creating mechanisms in the training structure centred on professional schools for teacher education, enhancing collaboration between universities and boards of education, and improving management-level training and in-school training to offer special needs education as a team. There is an increased need for training to provide the basics of special needs education to ordinary teachers as generalists, in addition to enriching training for specialists who focus on special needs education

キャピラリー電気泳動のアコニチン型アルカロイド分析への応用

Capillary electrophoresis was applied to the analysis of aconitine alkaloids. An AccuSepcapillary column (75 μm i.d. × 60cm), 0.4M di-sodium hydrogenphosphate - 0.2M citric acid buffer (pH7.0) as the electrophoretic buffer, and 3.5kV as the electrophoretic voltage were employed. Aconitine, hypaconitine and mesaconitine in aconitic tuberous root were separated within about 70min and their contents were obtained
