kn-abstract=Iron is essential for biogeochemical processes in aquatic ecosystems, but its riverine concentration can be affected by environmental conditions. This study assessed weekly fulvic acid iron (FAFe) concentration at a single sampling site in Asahi River from 2022?2023 to explore the differences in the temporal scales. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of physicochemical properties of the river on the concentration of FAFe, analyze the concentration of FAFe in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and assess the relationship between FAFe concentration and land use types of the watershed. The results indicated that physicochemical parameters, such as pH and surface water temperature (SWT) seemed to influence FAFe concentration (p < 0.05). Hydrological dynamics influenced FAFe concentration and transport, revealing an increasing trend during spring (p < 0.001) and summer (p = 0.05), with non-significant trends during autumn and winter (p > 0.05). FAFe exhibited a strong positive correlation with total organic carbon (TOC) (p < 0.001). Upland fields significantly influenced FAFe concentration (p < 0.01) through runoff with abundant NO3? and PO43? into the river. Thus, FAFe concentration in Asahi River was influenced by pH, SWT, TOC, hydrological regime, and agricultural runoff.

kn-title=Interchangeability of Cross-Platform Orthophotographic and LiDAR Data in DeepLabV3+-Based Land Cover Classification Method
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Riverine environmental information includes important data to collect, and the data collection still requires personnel's field surveys. These on-site tasks still face significant limitations (i.e., hard or danger to entry). In recent years, as one of the efficient approaches for data collection, air-vehicle-based Light Detection and Ranging technologies have already been applied in global environmental research, i.e., land cover classification (LCC) or environmental monitoring. For this study, the authors specifically focused on seven types of LCC (i.e., bamboo, tree, grass, bare ground, water, road, and clutter) that can be parameterized for flood simulation. A validated airborne LiDAR bathymetry system (ALB) and a UAV-borne green LiDAR System (GLS) were applied in this study for cross-platform analysis of LCC. Furthermore, LiDAR data were visualized using high-contrast color scales to improve the accuracy of land cover classification methods through image fusion techniques. If high-resolution aerial imagery is available, then it must be downscaled to match the resolution of low-resolution point clouds. Cross-platform data interchangeability was assessed by comparing the interchangeability, which measures the absolute difference in overall accuracy (OA) or macro-F1 by comparing the cross-platform interchangeability. It is noteworthy that relying solely on aerial photographs is inadequate for achieving precise labeling, particularly under limited sunlight conditions that can lead to misclassification. In such cases, LiDAR plays a crucial role in facilitating target recognition. All the approaches (i.e., low-resolution digital imagery, LiDAR-derived imagery and image fusion) present results of over 0.65 OA and of around 0.6 macro-F1. The authors found that the vegetation (bamboo, tree, grass) and road species have comparatively better performance compared with clutter and bare ground species. Given the stated conditions, differences in the species derived from different years (ALB from year 2017 and GLS from year 2020) are the main reason. Because the identification of clutter species includes all the items except for the relative species in this research, RGB-based features of the clutter species cannot be substituted easily because of the 3-year gap compared with other species. Derived from on-site reconstruction, the bare ground species also has a further color change between ALB and GLS that leads to decreased interchangeability. In the case of individual species, without considering seasons and platforms, image fusion can classify bamboo and trees with higher F1 scores compared to low-resolution digital imagery and LiDAR-derived imagery, which has especially proved the cross-platform interchangeability in the high vegetation types. In recent years, high-resolution photography (UAV), high-precision LiDAR measurement (ALB, GLS), and satellite imagery have been used. LiDAR measurement equipment is expensive, and measurement opportunities are limited. Based on this, it would be desirable if ALB and GLS could be continuously classified by Artificial Intelligence, and in this study, the authors investigated such data interchangeability. A unique and crucial aspect of this study is exploring the interchangeability of land cover classification models across different LiDAR platforms.

kn-title=Petrological characterization for material provenance of haniwa earthenware from mounded tombs in the Kibi region, Japan
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=To determine the provenance of the materials used in the production of haniwa earthenware unearthed from mounded tombs (kofun) in the Kibi region (modern Okayama Prefecture) during the Kofun period (late 3rd ? 6th century CE) of Japan, we carried out petrological analyses of haniwa sherds, including optical microscopy, X-ray diffractometry, X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, and electron-probe analysis. The 25 haniwa sherds analyzed from 12 representative mounded tombs are composed of mineral and rock inclusions with variable grain size set in a clay matrix. The dominant inclusions are quartz, K-feldspar, and plagioclase, associated with minor amounts of amphibole, volcanic glass, and granitic rocks in all the haniwa sherds, and small amounts of hornfels, quartz rock, and accessory minerals, including mica, ilmenite, and chromite, in some of the sherds. Amphibole and plagioclase have compositional variations indicative of the mixing of tephra and granitic components. The compositions of volcanic glass inclusions are similar to those of the Aira-Tanzawa and Kikai-Akahoya tephras widely distributed in southwestern Japan. Bulk chemical compositions show magmatic differentiation trends, which are variable between individual tombs. From these results, it is concluded that the paste materials of haniwa in the Kibi region were commonly derived from weathered granitic rocks mixed with minor amounts of three widespread tephras. The variations of chemical and mineralogical compositions are probably the reflection of local geologic settings, suggesting the presence of specific mining sites of paste materials around each tomb. The mining sites could be located at the bases of hills of granitic rocks covered by widespread tephras and in some cases, near the flood plain of big river systems.

kn-title=Evaluation and selection of a set of CMIP6 GCMs for water resource modeling in the poorly gauged complex terrain of the Tana River basin in Kenya
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The Tana River basin is among the least monitored in terms of meteorological data in Kenya. The Kenya Meteorological Department (KMD) provided data on a ten-day timescale, which is not adequate for water resource evaluation. To bridge this data gap, there is a growing need to leverage General Circulation Models (GCMs) and global datasets to assess current and future water resources in this basin. This study focused on evaluating the performance of 19 CMIP6 GCMs concerning precipitation (pr), maximum temperature (tasmax), and minimum temperature (tasmin) for the complex terrain of the Tana River basin. This involved a rigorous process of disaggregating the data provided by the KMD into a daily timescale for downscaling. The GCMs’ historical output was prepared using the Climate Data Operator (CDO) in Cygwin. The Kling Gupta Efficiency (KGE) was computed for each variable at three stations: Nyeri (upstream), Kitui (midstream), and Bura (downstream). The KGE results were validated using Taylor statistics. Five GCMs, CMCC-ESM2, MPI-ESM1-2-HR, ACCESS-CM2, NorESM2-MM, and GFDL-ESM4, performed best with a multivariable Multi-station KGE statistic of 0.455?0.511. The outputs from these selected GCMs were subsequently downscaled for later use in assessing the water resources and crop water demand in the basin.

kn-title=Generating 3D Models for UAV-Based Detection of Riparian PET Plastic Bottle Waste: Integrating Local Social Media and InstantMesh
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=In recent years, waste pollution has become a severe threat to riparian environments worldwide. Along with the advancement of deep learning (DL) algorithms (i.e., object detection models), related techniques have become useful for practical applications. This work attempts to develop a data generation approach to generate datasets for small target recognition, especially for recognition in remote sensing images. A relevant point is that similarity between data used for model training and data used for testing is crucially important for object detection model performance. Therefore, obtaining training data with high similarity to the monitored objects is a key objective of this study. Currently, Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC), such as single target objects generated by Luma AI, is a promising data source for DL-based object detection models. However, most of the training data supporting the generated results are not from Japan. Consequently, the generated data are less similar to monitored objects in Japan, having, for example, different label colors, shapes, and designs. For this study, the authors developed a data generation approach by combining social media (Clean-Up Okayama) and single-image-based 3D model generation algorithms (e.g., InstantMesh) to provide a reliable reference for future generations of localized data. The trained YOLOv8 model in this research, obtained from the S2PS (Similar to Practical Situation) AIGC dataset, produced encouraging results (high F1 scores, approximately 0.9) in scenario-controlled UAV-based riparian PET bottle waste identification tasks. The results of this study show the potential of AIGC to supplement or replace real-world data collection and reduce the on-site work load.

kn-title=Structure and distinct supramolecular organization of a PSII-ACPII dimer from a cryptophyte alga Chroomonas placoidea
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Cryptophyte algae are an evolutionarily distinct and ecologically important group of photosynthetic unicellular eukaryotes. Photosystem II (PSII) of cryptophyte algae associates with alloxanthin chlorophyll a/c-binding proteins (ACPs) to act as the peripheral light-harvesting system, whose supramolecular organization is unknown. Here, we purify the PSII-ACPII supercomplex from a cryptophyte alga Chroomonas placoidea (C. placoidea), and analyze its structure at a resolution of 2.47 & Aring; using cryo-electron microscopy. This structure reveals a dimeric organization of PSII-ACPII containing two PSII core monomers flanked by six symmetrically arranged ACPII subunits. The PSII core is conserved whereas the organization of ACPII subunits exhibits a distinct pattern, different from those observed so far in PSII of other algae and higher plants. Furthermore, we find a Chl a-binding antenna subunit, CCPII-S, which mediates interaction of ACPII with the PSII core. These results provide a structural basis for the assembly of antennas within the supercomplex and possible excitation energy transfer pathways in cryptophyte algal PSII, shedding light on the diversity of supramolecular organization of photosynthetic machinery.

en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Bacteria in the genus Vibrio are ubiquitous in estuarine and coastal waters. Some species (including Vibrio cholerae and Vibrio vulnificus) are known human pathogens causing ailments like cholera, diarrhea, or septicemia. Notably, V. vulnificus can also cause a severe systemic infection (known as vibriosis) in eels raised in aquaculture facilities. Water samples were periodically collected from the estuary of the Asahi River, located in the southern part of Okayama City, Japan. These samples were directly plated onto CHROMagar Vibrio plates, and colonies displaying turquoise-blue coloration were selected. Thereafter, polymerase chain reaction was used to identify V. cholerae and V. vulnificus. A total of 30 V. cholerae strains and 194 V. vulnificus strains were isolated during the warm season when the water temperature (WT) was higher than 20 degrees C. Concurrently, an increase in coliforms was observed during this period. Notably, V. vulnificus has two genotypes, designated as genotype 1 and genotype 2. Genotype 1 is pathogenic to humans, while genotype 2 is pathogenic to both humans and eels. The loop-mediated isothermal amplification method was developed to rapidly determine genotypes at a low cost. Of the 194 strains isolated, 80 (41.2%) were identified as genotype 1 strains. Among the 41 strains isolated when the WTs were higher than 28 degrees C, 25 strains (61.0%) belonged to genotype 1. In contrast, of the 32 strains isolated when the WTs were lower than 24 degrees C, 27 strains (84.4%) belonged to genotype 2. These results suggest that the distribution of the two genotypes was influenced by WT.

kn-title=The Impact of Light Touch and Pin Prick on Functional Outcomes in Patients with Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=A spinal cord injury (SCI) can cause severe lifelong functional disability and profoundly affect an individual’s daily life. We investigated the prediction of patients’ post-SCI functional outcomes by evaluating sensory scores rather than motor scores, as the latter’s association with functional outcomes is well established. We examined patients’ responses to a light touch (LT) and pin prick (PP) at admission and the response data’s usefulness as predictors of functional outcomes (i.e., ability to perform activities of daily living) at discharge. This exploratory observational study used data from the Japanese National Spinal Cord Injury Database (SCI-J). Data from 3,676 patients who met the inclusion criteria and were admitted for an SCI between 1997 and 2020 were analyzed. The motor score of the Functional Independence Measure (mFIM) at discharge was used as an index of functional outcome. A multiple regression analysis revealed that the mFIM was associated with both the LT response (β=0.07 (0.01), p<0.001) and the PP response (β=0.07 (0.01), p<0.001) at admission. The false discovery rate log-worth values for LT and PP were 6.6 and 8.5, respectively. Our findings demonstrate that LT and PP scores at admission can help predict patients’ functional outcomes after an SCI, although the magnitude of their contributions is not high.

kn-title=Structural insights into photosystem II supercomplex and trimeric FCP antennae of a centric diatom Cyclotella meneghiniana
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Diatoms are dominant marine algae and contribute around a quarter of global primary productivity, the success of which is largely attributed to their photosynthetic capacity aided by specific fucoxanthin chlorophyll-binding proteins (FCPs) to enhance the blue-green light absorption under water. We purified a photosystem II (PSII)-FCPII supercomplex and a trimeric FCP from Cyclotella meneghiniana (Cm) and solved their structures by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). The structures reveal detailed organizations of monomeric, dimeric and trimeric FCP antennae, as well as distinct assemblies of Lhcx6_1 and dimeric FCPII-H in PSII core. Each Cm-PSII-FCPII monomer contains an Lhcx6_1, an FCP heterodimer and other three FCP monomers, which form an efficient pigment network for harvesting energy. More diadinoxanthins and diatoxanthins are found in FCPs, which may function to quench excess energy. The trimeric FCP contains more chlorophylls c and fucoxanthins. These diversified FCPs and PSII-FCPII provide a structural basis for efficient light energy harvesting, transfer, and dissipation in C. meneghiniana.

kn-abstract=This paper focuses on the recording and transmission of disaster information, and examines the accumulation of disaster information, its trends, and the intentions behind its accumulation through a survey of information records accumulated by individuals during the Meiji period. End? Sanenobu, the subject of this paper, was active mainly in Kyoto during the Meiji period (1868-1912), and in the course of his activities, he accumulated a vast amount of information records called the Seizan Manroku (静山漫録), including records of his investigations of ancient documents handed down in various places and verification records of folk tales and customs passed down in various places. In the course of accumulating such information, he became increasingly interested in disaster information after the Yodogawa river flood in Osaka in 1885, and eventually began to compile a series of Suiin Hikkai(酔蚓筆芥)on disaster information as his main theme. The series of information activities by Sanenobu were also supported by the development and diffusion of information media during that period. At the same time, the fact that Sanenobu paid attention to disaster information among various types of information suggests that he regarded disasters as an important turning point in his understanding of national and social changes. Through this information, the reality of people's social perceptions formed by the media will be revealed.

kn-abstract=The purpose of this paper is to clarify how a harbor city established in a sandbank inlet transformed a local area. In the Later Medieval period, the harbor city of Nakamura was established in the lower part of the Chikusa river. In the late 15th century, the Ei?ji temple of J?do Shinsh? Buddhism was constructed in the harbor city of Nakamura. Nakamura used Sagoshinosh? as a local name. In the 16th century, the harbor city of Kariya on the west coast of the Chikusa river also used the local name of Sagoshinosh?. In the early modern period, villages to the west of the mouth of the Chikusa river came to use the local name of Sagoshinosh?. While the local name of the west coastal area of the Chikusa river mouth had been Ak?nosh?, it changed to Sagoshinosh?. Areas where local names may have changed also include Shikatanosh? and Mikuriyanosh? elsewhere in the Later Medieval period.

kn-title=Early Fluid Balance Is Associated with 90-Day Mortality in Patients Receiving Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is widely used to control fluid balance, but the optimal fluid balance to improve the prognosis of patients remains debated. Appropriate fluid management may depend on hemodynamic status. We investigated the association between 90-day mortality and fluid balance/mean arterial pressure (MAP) in patients receiving CRRT. This single-center retrospective study was conducted between May 2018 and March 2021. Based on the cumulative fluid balance at 72 h after initiation of CRRT, the cases were divided into negative (< 0 mL) and positive (> 0 mL) fluid balance groups. Ninety-day mortality was higher in the positive fluid balance group (p=0.009). At 4 h before and after CRRT initiation, the mean MAP was lower in the positive fluid balance group (p<0.05). After multivariate cox adjustment, 72-h positive fluid balance was independently associated with 90-day mortality (p=0.004). In addition, the cumulative fluid balance was associated with 90-day mortality (p<0.05) in cases without shock, high APACHE II score, sepsis, dialysis dependence, or vasopressor use. A 72-h positive fluid balance was associated with 90-day mortality in patients receiving CRRT.

kn-abstract=Study region: This study focuses on the upstream Sesan River Basin in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. Study focus: Local land-use policies and human activities can significantly affect hydrology and increase the magnitude of erosion and nutrients in downstream areas. The effects in terrestrial regions on water quality of the target area were evaluated during the 2000-2018 period using the SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) with updated land-use conditions following the local policy decisions and agricultural practices in different periods. New hydrological insights for the regions: This study indicates that the implementation of the local land-use policies, along with extensive anthropogenic activities, has had significant effects on the downstream aquatic environment as compared with the period before the implementation of the land-use policies. Higher annual sediment, total nitrogen (TN), and total phosphorus (TP) load-ings were found upstream from the Poko Watershed, where range land predominated, and in southern and southwestern Dakbla Watershed, where arable land and permanent cropland pre-dominated. Arable land had the highest proportion of sediment and nutrient loadings into the reach, especially in the 2005-2009 period (conducting afforestation, agricultural expansion, and urbanization) and in the 2010-2014 period (applying crop conversion policy involving a shift from mixed forests to rubber forests). Understanding the watershed characteristics along with the combination of spatial land use, local land-use policies, and agricultural practices will support the implementation of regional land use and water resources management strategies more comprehensively.

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=In response to challenges in land cover classification (LCC), many researchers have experimented recently with classification methods based on artificial intelligence techniques. For LCC mapping of the vegetated Asahi River in Japan, the current study uses deep learning (DL)-based DeepLabV3+ module for image segmentation of aerial photographs. We modified the existing model by concatenating data on its resultant output port to access the airborne laser bathymetry (ALB) dataset, including voxel-based laser points and vegetation height (i.e. digital surface model data minus digital terrain model data). Findings revealed that the modified approach improved the accuracy of LCC greatly compared to our earlier unsupervised ALB-based method, with 25 and 35% improvement, respectively, in overall accuracy and the macro F1-score for November 2017 dataset (no-leaf condition). Finally, by estimating flow-resistance parameters in flood modelling using LCC mapping-derived data, we conclude that the upgraded DL methodology produces better fit between numerically analyzed and observed peak water levels.

kn-title=Evaluation of nitrogen loading in the last 80 years in an urbanized Asian coastal catchment through the reconstruction of severe contamination period
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Most semi-enclosed seas have experienced severe eutrophication owing to high nutrient loading from rivers during rapid population growth periods. In Japan, the coastal areas of some megacities (e.g. Tokyo and Osaka) experienced considerable economic growth during the 1960s-1970s. Therefore, determining the amount of nutrient loading during this period is essential to undertake measures for the conservation of coastal environments. However, determining the nutrient loading that occurred several decades ago is generally difficult owing to lacking water quality records. In this study, the nitrogen loading in the Yamato River catchment, an urbanized coastal catchment in Asia, for 80 years from the 1940s to the 2010s is reconstructed using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool. We considered factors such as population growth, wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) construction, and changes in land and fertilizer usage in different urbanization stages. Results show that the total nitrogen loading in the catchment peaked in the 1970s at 6616 tons yr(-1) owing to untreated wastewater discharge and rapid increase in population growth. By reducing 57% of the nitrogen loading in the 2010s from the catchment, WWTPs have been instrumental in improving the water environment. The decrease in and integration of agricultural land has reduced nitrogen loading attributed to nonpoint sources; however, this reduction was not obvious because of the high fertilizer usage before the 2000s. Overall, the findings of this study provide a comprehensive understanding of the impact of rapid urbanization in an Asian coastal catchment on nitrogen loading during the high economic growth period in the past. This study will be useful for the long-term assessment of nutrient loading in other.

kn-title=Environmental flow sustainability in the Lower Limpopo River Basin, Mozambique
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Study region: This study focuses on the Lower Limpopo River basin (LLRB) in Mozambique, Africa. Study focus: Maintaining environmental flows necessary for ecosystem sustainability represents a significant challenge to water resource management. In this study the sustainability of LLRB was evaluated by comparing hydrologic availability with ecological and anthropogenic needs. Current river ecological status was scored with a habitat integrity index verified through ground-truthing field surveys and aerial imagery data. Local stakeholder interviews were used to further evaluate the habitat index scores. Deficiencies between water availability and ecological-human requirements were assessed with a water scarcity index.
New Hydrological Insights for the Region: Four environmental flow categories defined as "Excellent", "Fair", "Poor", and "Degraded" coincided to approximately 50 %, 39 %, 27 %, and 14 % of the natural mean annual flow, respectively. Stakeholder interview responses indicated annual water shortages currently occur between August and November and coincide with "Poor" and "Degraded" environmental flow conditions. Water supplies appear to meet consumption needs when calculated on an annual basis with the water scarcity index. However, when calculated monthly, there is not enough to meet human water demand between August and October. This deficit period will likely expand from June to November due to projected increases in future water demands. As the greatest water use in the basin is agricultural irrigation, long-term environmental flows sustainability will likely depend upon effective irrigation management.

en-subtitle=

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The Kibi Plateau Surface is associated with the Paleogene gravel river bed deposits of the Kibi Group and the Miocene marine deposits of the Katsuta Group and the Bihoku Group. These Paleogene and Miocene units are valley fill deposits. The Kibi Group is composed of formations which is deposited by more than 7 different depositional events during earliest to latest Paleogene Period. Repeated cycles of “erosion - formation of new valley system - deposition and fill up the valley” created the low relief topographic surface. The deposition of
the Miocene deposits might complete the Kibi Plateau Surface. Detailed field works have done in middle western part of Okayama Prefecture. The Kibi Plateau Surface in study area is gently dipping from NW (about 600m high) to SE (about 100m high). The distributions of the Paleogene and Miocene deposits fit the surface.
At the southern margin of the Kibi Plateau, the surface is a little inclined (from 400m high to 100m high) where the bottom of paleo-valleys of the Paleogene deposits are subparallel to the surface. It suggests that the gentle tilting of the Kibi Plateau is caused by an up-warping.

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Swarming and mating behaviors of a mayfly species, Ephemera orientalis Mclachlan, 1875 were observed in 2015, 2016, and 2018 at a river bank of the Asahi River, Japan. Males started to make swarms between late April and middle May in 2016 and 2018. The numbers of mated pairs in a swarm correlated with the numbers of flying males in a swarm in 2016 and 2018. Swarms were formed during a limited period at dusk most probably because that interval is free from natural enemies. Males competed with each other to copulate with females in swarms. We clarified the function of the forelegs of males, which are significantly longer than those of females. Males used their forelegs to hold up a female from below. Besides forelegs, males have longer tails than females. We will discuss why sexual differences are found in these traits. Our results represent the first observation of swarm mating behavior in E. orientalis.

kn-abstract= In the study, the actual evaporation was estimated in the Asahi River, the Takahashi River, and the Yoshii River basins in Okayama prefecture for four years from January 1999 to December 2002. The Morton method and the modified Brutsaert and Stricker (B & S) method were applied to the three river basins to estimate the actual evapotranspiration and compare the two methods.
As a result, the actual evapotranspiration by the Morton method was all almost equal to that by the Penman’s potential evapotranspiration, and the evapotranspiration was overestimated rather than the actual evapotranspiration. The actual evapotranspiration by the modified B & S method was below the Penman’s potential evapotranspiration throughout the year, and the total annual amount was about 80% of the potential evapotranspiration. In addition, the modified B & S method showed the general tendency that the actual evapotranspiration was lower in urban area than in the hilly and mountainous areas.

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=External nutrient loadings to Lake Biwa were estimated using a combined tank model and loading-discharge curve approach. The model was applied to collective drainage basins of the lake’s Imazu (northwest), Hikone (northeast), and Otsu (south) areas. The hourly model was conducted using particular discharges from Kita (Ado) river, Takatoki (Ane) river, and Yasu River to obtain loading curves for phosphate (PO4) and silica (SiO2) by assimilating measured concentrations (2002?2003). The tank model was updated by adding an evapotranspiration routine and direct paths of groundwater discharges to the lake floor. The daily model was calibrated through analysis of water budget among the basin, inflow, lake and outflow, and then validated. The model was established and combined into a loading-discharge curve to determine the long-term external nutrient loadings entering the lake (1980?2017). Seasonal variation in nutrient loadings increased during spring and summer and decreased during winter. Annual phosphate-phosphorus (PO4-P) loading ranged from 217 to 296 tons yr?1 in the North Basin and 45 to 76 tons yr?1 in the South Basin, while SiO2 loading fluctuated from 16,027 to 32,655 tons yr?1 and 2,518 to 5,490 tons yr?1 in the North and South Basins, respectively.

kn-title=The Optimal Prepregnancy Body Mass Index for Lactation in Japanese Women with Neonatal Separation as Analyzed by a Differential Equation
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=We used a differential equation to identify the biological relationship between the maternal prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) and lactation on postpartum day 4 in Japanese women with neonatal separation. This retro-spective observational study included 252 mothers (135 primiparas, 117 multiparas) whose singleton neonates were admitted to a neonatal ICU. We formulated hypotheses based on breast anatomy to analyze the relation-ship between the expressed milk obtained on postpartum day 4 and the maternal prepregnancy BMI with the following differential equation: y’(x) = k y(x)/x, where k is the constant, x is the prepregnancy BMI, and y is the expressed milk volume. The formula was then obtained as y(x) = axk, where a is the constant. The Akaike information criterion (AIC) was used to estimate the regression equation with the maximum likelihood for primiparas and multiparas. The best criteria for BMI determined by the AIC were 20.89 kg/m2 in primiparas and 20.19 kg/m2 in multiparas. These were the optimal BMI values for lactation, coinciding with the median prepregnancy BMI in the study population (20.78 kg/m2 in primiparas and 20.06 kg/m2 in multiparas). The formula based on biomathematics might help establish the biological relationship between prepregnancy BMI and breastmilk volume.

kn-title=Local perspectives on Ebola during its tenth outbreak in DR Congo: A nationwide qualitative study
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background
The Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo) struggled to end the tenth outbreak of Ebola virus disease (Ebola), which appeared in North Kivu in 2018. It was reported that rumors were hampering the response effort. We sought to identify any rumors that could have influenced outbreak containment and affected prevention in unaffected areas of DR Congo.
Methods
We conducted a qualitative study in DR Congo over a period of 2 months (from August 1 to September 30, 2019) using in-depth interviews (IDIs) and focus group discussions (FGDs). The participants were recruited from five regional blocks using purposeful sampling. Both areas currently undergoing outbreaks and presently unaffected areas were included. We collected participants’ opinions, views, and beliefs about the Ebola virus. The IDIs (n = 60) were performed with key influencers (schoolteachers, religious and political leaders/analysts, and Ebola-frontline workers), following a semi-structured interview guide. FGDs (n = 10) were conducted with community members. Interviews were recorded with a digital voice recorder and simultaneous note-taking. Participant responses were categorized in terms of their themes and subthemes.
Results
We identified 3 high-level themes and 15 subthemes (given here in parentheses): (1) inadequate knowledge of the origin or cause of Ebola (belief in a metaphysical origin, insufficient awareness of Ebola transmission via an infected corpse, interpretation of disease as God’s punishment, belief in nosocomial Ebola, poor hygiene, and bathing in the Congo River). Ebola was interpreted as (2) a plot by multinational corporations (fears of genocide, Ebola understood as a biological weapon, concerns over organ trafficking, and Ebola was taken to be the result of business actions). Finally Ebola was rumored to be subject to (3) politicization (political authorities seen as ambivalent, exclusion of some community leaders from response efforts, distrust of political authorities, and distrust in the healthcare system).
Conclusions
Due to the skepticism against Ebola countermeasures, it is critical to understand widespread beliefs about the disease to implement actions that will be effective, including integrating response with the unmet needs of the population.

kn-title=Disaster report of 2018 July heavy rain for geo-structures and slopes in Okayama
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=In July 2018, heavy rain and a large amount of damage to geo-structures and natural slopes were reported in Okayama, Japan. In particular, in the area surrounding the Oda River System, 52 people drowned due to the breach of river banks. Besides the flooding of rivers, the earth-fill dams of many water reservoirs were damaged. The stability of the large number of earth-fill dams in the Setouchi area is very important. Heavy rain is often associated with the collapse of slopes. In Okayama, many shallow slope failures or debris flows occurred over a wide area, particularly in the western part of the prefecture. Through detailed investigations, the mechanism of this geo-disaster was clarified.

kn-title=Application of the cellular oxidation biosensor to Toxicity Identification Evaluations for high-throughput toxicity assessment of river water
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Toxicity Identification Evaluation (TIE) is a useful method for the classification and identification of toxicants in a composite environment water sample. However, its extension to a larger sample size has been restrained owing to the limited throughput of toxicity bioassays. Here we reported the development of a high-throughput method of TIE Phase I. This newly developed method was assisted by the fluorescence-based cellular oxidation (CO) biosensor fabricated with roGFP2-expressing bacterial cells in 96-well microplate format. The assessment of four river water samples from Langat river basin by this new method demonstrated that the contaminant composition of the four samples can be classified into two distinct groups. The entire toxicity assay consisted of 2338 tests was completed within 12 h with a fluorescence microplate reader. Concurrently, the sample volume for each assay was reduced to 50 μL, which is 600 to 4700 times lesser to compare with conventional bioassays. These imply that the throughput of the CO biosensor-assisted TIE Phase I is now feasible for constructing a large-scale toxicity monitoring system, which would cover a whole watershed scale.

kn-title=Development of a method for measuring rare earth elements in the environment for future experiments with gadolinium-loaded detectors
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Demand to use gadolinium (Gd) in detectors is increasing in the field of elementary particle physics, especially in neutrino measurements and dark matter searches. Large amounts of Gd are used in these experiments. To assess the impact of Gd on the environment it is becoming important to measure the baseline concentrations of Gd. Such measurement, however, is not easy due to interference by other elements. In this paper a method for measuring the concentrations of rare earth elements, including Gd, is proposed. In the method, inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry is utilized after collecting the dissolved elements in chelating resin. Results of the ability to detect anomalous concentrations of rare earth elements in river water samples in the Kamioka and Toyama areas are also reported.

kn-title=U-Pb single grain zircon ages for Sanbagawa Metamorphic Rocks in central Shikoku (Japan): the Sanbagawa Belt re-united
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract= The high-P/low-T Sanbagawa Metamorphic Belt that traverses SW Japan, has been subdivided into two belts thought to have been metamorphosed at ca. 120 Ma and at ca. 65 Ma (‘Sanbagawa Metamorphic Rocks’ and ‘Shimanto Metamorphic Rocks’). The subdivision was based on the assumption that metamorphism occurred at ca. 116 Ma, largely based on an early Rb-Sr isotope study and zircon data obtained for the eclogite unit of the Sanbagawa Belt, whereas in some parts of the belt detrital zircons of late Cretaceous age (90-80 Ma) were discovered. Analysis of detrital zircons sampled from two sites within the area considered to expose the older ‘Sanbagawa Metamorphic Rocks’, including the area investigated by the Rb-Sr study, reveals the presence of zircons younger than 95 Ma in all samples and some grains as young as 80 ± 4 Ma. It is therefore concluded that the Sanbagawa Belt is one single tectonic entity that formed in the Late Cretaceous though it contains older components, including fossiliferous clasts, older basic meta-volcanics and eclogite units that may record earlier metamorphic events.

kn-abstract=We developed microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs) for the chelate titrations of Ca2+ and Mg2+ in natural water. The μPAD consisted of ten reaction zones and ten detection zones connected through narrow channels to a sample zone located at the center. Buffer solutions with a pH of 10 or 13 were applied to all surfaces of the channels and zones. Different amounts of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) were added to the reaction zones and a consistent amount of a metal indicator (Eriochrome Black T or Calcon) was added to the detection zones. The total concentrations of Ca2+ and Mg2+ (total hardness) in the water were measured using a μPAD containing a buffer solution with a pH of 10, whereas only Ca2+ was titrated using a μPAD prepared with a potassium hydroxide solution with a pH of 13. The μPADs permitted the determination of Ca2+ and Mg2+ in mineral water, river water, and seawater samples within only a few minutes using only the naked eye?no need of instruments.

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Schistosomiasis mekongi is prevalent in the Khong district of Lao PDR, made up of one big island. Khong, and numerous small islands in the Mekong River. Schistosoma mekongi is spread by Neotricula aperta as the intermediate host along the Mekong River. Therefore, even if an epidemic of S. mekongi were stamped out in a certain village, infection may recur if the source of infection is a village located in the upper reaches of the Mekong River. The purpose of this study was to construct a mathematical model for the transmission of S. mekongi among villages from the upper to lower Mekong River to estimate the effect of control measures against it. The chief characteristic of the present model is competence in dealing with the spread of infection among villages through the Mekong River in consideration of the reduction in longevity of cercariae and miracidia and their diffusion in the river. The model also takes into account seasonal fluctuation in the water level of the Mekong River, which affects human behavior in terms of water contact. The results of simulations indicated that the prevalence of schistosomiasis mekongi would be suppressed to a low level for a long time in a village further downstream when universal mass treatment is performed in villages further upstream simultaneously.

kn-abstract=In order to determine the infected or susceptible areas from Clonorchis sinensis, the author has, during the past one and a half years, investigated the geographical distribution of Bythiniae, covering 266 different towns and villages out of 398 in the whole prefecture, and come to the following conclusions:- 1. The area in which Bythiniae live is the south-western part of the prefecture, i. e., along the down-streams of the three largest rivers; the area is oblong, its diameter being about 60 k. m. from east to west and about 16 k. m. from south to north. Across this area runs the Sanyo Railway Line. The north, east and south boundaries are surrounded by a doubtful zone of about 4 k. m. in width, while the west boundary reaches to a slightly affected area of the neighbouring prefecture, Hiroshima.
The severely infected region, located nearly centrally, is a lowland of clayey soil along the shore of the Kojima Bay, with many canals in which the water flows very slowly or is rather stagnant. In these canals, there are many kinds of water plants growing abundantly, and there can be seen numberless fresh-water fish such as Pseudorasbora parva living. The most severely affected area lies within about 3 k. m. from the shore. In this district, it is not difficult, during the summer time, to catch several hundreds of Bythiniae by a few scoops of a net having a diameter of two-thirds of one meter. 2. The density of Bythiniae is nearly in inverse proportion to the distance from the severest center. On the contrary, it is nearly in direct proportion to the number of Clonorchis cysts in a second intermediate host, and to the number of cases of the fluke carriers, and furthermore to the extent of clayey soil, and accordingly to the activity of rush cultivation, the cultivation being made practically in clayey soil. The original paper contains the outline map, the explanation of which will be: Dotted………………doubtful zone
Lined………………slight or moderate zone
Cross-lined…………severe zone
Black triangle……name of county
◎……………………city of Okayama

kn-title=Application of Dead Beat Control method to the Water Level Control of Small-scale Hydroelectric Power Plant
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Small Scale Hydroelectric Power Generation is made using the water drop caused by the gradient difference between that of the river and that of the penstock. The water flow in this system apt to vary with time. Especially, at the time of the flood or that of the dry, the flow in the water stream varies largely. To realize the stable generation, it is necessary to maintain the water level in the head tank located in the mid way in the stream channel at a constant level. In this paper, variation of water level is forecasted using two-tank model for the penstock and the head tank and the water level control algorithm is proposed by deadbeat control. The effectiveness of the algorithm is evaluated beforehand using the simulation program of the water environment for the hydroelectric generation system.

kn-abstract=There occurred an epidemic of a kind of feveric jaundice in some parts of Okayama City and its vicinity from the later part of Summer till early autumn 1935. As we had never learned such an outbreak of such an epidemic in these districts, we wished to make it clear. We have studied it under the guidance of Prof. M. Suzuki and our study as a whole resulted as follows: 1) To our regret, we could not succeed in isolating the causal agent. This may be we think, for when we set about the study, the epidemic had already come to its closing period. 2) The clinical symptoms of this disease, we observed, were quite identical with those of the Sakushu fever. 3) And as the serological tests we examined the Pfeiffers phenomenon test and the agglomeration reaction on 12 cases and obtained: 7 positive reaction with Akiyami repto. type A. 3 positive reaction with Akiyami repto. type B. these 10 negative reaction with repto. ict. haemorrha. and the rest 2 of 12 cases gave negative reaction with any of these reptospiras. 4) We cannot yet dare to describe clearly from the epidemiological point of view why such a prevalence of this disease broke out in 1935, but it might be regarded as remarkable facts to indicate some relationship between the great inundation and the epidemic that the infected locality was visited by a disastrous inundation in the preceding year, that the upper course district of the flooded river Asahi was known as the region influenced by the Sakushu fever, and that the infected parts of Okayama City borders the suburbs where a great number of the rats, regarded as the mediators of the Sakushu fever are living, etc.
You will have still more reports after our further study in the future.

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The author has had the opportunity to be engaged in field work in the Mekong River basin for forty years. In this report, the variety of agriculture and food of the Mekong River basin are described, based on that experience. The Mekong River is the biggest river in Southeast Asia. The source of the Mekong River is Tibet. The river flows through Chinese Yunnan, through Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, and Cambodia, forming a delta in Vietnam where it comes out into the sea. There live many people in that basin, and various agricultural elements of cultural complexity are found. Food culture also varies throughout this area. The author divided the whole basin into seven agriculture zones. The key words indicating the various forms of agriculture and food cultures recognized in the Mekong River basin are listed, illustrated by photographs. It has been said that Chinese ancient civilization was started from the Yellow River civilization. The Chang Jiang civilization now comes to the fore, which started before the Yellow River civilization. It is just now being admitted that the Chang Jiang civilization is equal to the four big civilizations of the world. It is just now being recognized that the Chang Jiarg civilization is on a par with the four big civilization of the word. According to the author’s supposition, not only Chang Jiang but also Mekong, Thanlwin and Huang river constituted a Asian Big civilization. The author predicts whether a time will come when the existence of a “Asian Big River civilization” will come to be explained.

Gomont (3) and the fresh water alga which grew in the River Misasa, namely Rhizocolonium hieroglyphicum (4) were collected. The spectrographic analysis and quantitative chemical analanalysis of the ashes of the algae gave the following results : 1. All four algae contained Cu, Zn, Al, Pb, Mn, Mo besides the phisiological elements. 2. Two algae, (1) and (2) which grew in thermal water rarely mixed with the river water, contained Ti and considerable amount of Ge. 3. The highest content of Si and highest value of ash per cent were those of (1), and their values were 27.22 % and 26.44 %. 4. The highest content of Fe and Mn were those of (2), and their values were 17.80 %
and 3.27 %. 5. Great difference was not detected between the ratios of MgO/CaO of (1) and (2), and their values were 0.13 (1) and 0.14 (2).

kn-abstract=The author determined the radon contents of spring waters in the eastern part of Hiroshima Prefecture. In this district granite is distributed, and radon was found in most of the spring waters, although their content was variable. The results are as follows: 1) The highest radon content was 172 Mache (626×10(-10) Curie/?) of Harada Spring. Such a high mdon content is rare in the spring waters of Sanyo District. 2) Kanae Spring showed 73.2 Mache (266.4×10(-10) Curie/?) and the well waters near by it showed also comparatively high radon content. 3) The radon contents of the springs of Niwakayama, Immyoseki and No.1 of Hongo, and
Takasu water were 44.6 (162.3), 23.2 (84.5), 7.5 (27.3) and 14.7 (53.5) Mache (×10(-10) Curie/?) respectively. 4) The radon contents of rain, river and sea waters could not be determined by the I. M. fontactoscopeon account of its low values.

kn-abstract=In the previous report, one of the authors, T. Sugihara, discussed the results of chemical analysis of waters in the infected localites with Katayama-disease in the whole neighbourllood of Kannabe-cho, Fukayasu-distriict, Hiroshima-Prefecture. In this report, the authors discussed the results obtained in Yamanashi prefecture, and in the area drained by Chikugo River, and found the following facts: 1) The amount of KMnO(4) consumed and the copper content were high as in the previous report. 2) The calcium content was 7.3~22.2 mg/? in the river waters of this report, but it was 18.7~38.2 mg/? in the waters in the places of the previous paper. And in the previous report the author pointed out that the calcium content was fairly higher in the waters in the infected localities with Katayama disease than in the non-infected localities. But as the
calcium content was relatively lower this time than in the previous investigation, more research is intended to reach definite conclusion.

en-title=EFFECT OF WATER LEVEL OF RIVER ON MINERAL SPRING
kn-title=河川の水位が温泉に及ぼす影響について
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=From June 1953 to January 1954, the water temperature and amount of flow of a spring called IITanaka-no-Yu", Misasa Hot Springs, Tottori Prefecture, were observed continuously. It issues 10 metres north of the riverside of the River Misasa and a stream runs 3 metres south of it. The water level of the River and the stream were also observed. The water level of the stream have close connection with the water volume of rice-field which surround that spring, because it is a watercourse of irrigation to rice-field. It was found that when the amount of flow increased, the water temperature rose, namely there was a positive correlation between them, and the correlation coefficient was 0.952 (highly significant). The analysis of variance showed that the amount of flow would be affected by the water level of the River but would not be severely affected by that of the stream. The correlation between the amount of flow and the water level of the River was also positive and the correlation coefficient was 0.731 (highly significant). As a result of the analysis of variance, the computation of confidence limit and the analysis of covariance, in summer the averages of the amount of flow and the water temperature would be higher than those in autumn
and winter. This difference was seemed to be induced by the water level of the stream. The end of the observation, a dam had been constructed 20 metres down (west) the River and she rised, but the effect of it must be observed after this.

kn-abstract=Methods and Results of Measurements:-- A stick of steel was driven into the ground down to one meter depth, and a narrow pipe of aluminum or brass, closed at the upper end, was inserted and the hole covered by a board and earth. (See
Fig.3.) In Fig.2 the locations for the experiments are shown by x. Fig.1 gives the atmospheric temperatures at noon, October4-21,1955, when the experiments were carried out. About three hours after the above setting had been done, the gas in the hole was replaced by a bottle of water, and was collected, by driving sprayer for five minutes with apparatus as shown in Fig.5, in a can in which an autoradiographic plate was set. (See Fig.6.) The temperature in the hole was read by means of a maximum thermometer hung in the hole for ten minutes at one meter depth. Fig.7 shows the distribution of temperatures at one meter depth thus observed. Exactly twenty four hours after the above setting, the autoradiographic plate in the can (a quarter sized Fuji ET-2E plate, 15μ thick, for contact method) was developed. For developing, the plate was immersed in Ilford D-19 for fifteen minutes, then fixed with Fuji-fix for fifteen minutes, washed with running water for forty minutes, and dried. Then those autoradiographic plate was examined under the microscope of magnification ×280, to count the number of tracks of a-particles. The results obtained are shown in Fig.8. Underground Temperature Distribution:-- On the basis of the distribution of temperatures at one meter depth (Fig.7) and of other available boring data, the distribution of undergound temperatures is estimated as shown in Fig.9 (vertical section along the Misasa river).

kn-title=The evaluation of control measures against Schistosoma mekongi in Cambodia by a mathematical model
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=
We constructed a mathematical model for the transmission of Schistosoma mekongi in Cambodia. The simulation of the model will be instrumental in planning schistosomiasis control measures. The model includes two definitive hosts, humans and dogs, as animal reservoirs. Dogs are recognized to play an important role in schistosomiasis transmission in Cambodia. For the purpose of dealing with age-specific prevalence and intensity of infection, the human population was classified into eight age categories in the model. To describe the seasonal fluctuation of the intermediate host population of S. mekongi, the "Post-Spate Survival" hypothesis was adopted for the population dynamics of Neotricula aperta present in the Mekong River. We carried out simulations to evaluate the effect of universal treatment (UT) and targeted mass treatment (TT) with praziquantel on the reduction in prevalence of S. mekongi. The simulations indicated that biyearly UT for 8 years or yearly TT for 5 years after three courses of yearly UT could reduce the prevalence to below 5% when a UT or TT coverage of 85% of inhabitants was achieved. The simulation suggested that the suppression of S. mekongi in Cambodia would be possible by UT or TT with a high coverage rate.

Dual minicolumns containing chelating resin were utilized for the speciation and preconcentration of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) in water samples. In this system, Cr(III) was collected on first column packed with iminodiacetate resin. Cr(VI) in the effluent from the first column was reduced to Cr(III), which was collected on the second column packed with iminodiacetate resin. Hydroxyammonium chloride was examined as a potential reducing agent for Cr(VI) to Cr(III). The effects of pH, sample flow rate, column length, and interfering ions on the recoveries of Cr(III) were carefully studied. Five millilitres of a sample solution was introduced into the system. The collected species were then sequentially washed by 1 M ammonium acetate, eluted by 2 M nitric acid and measured by ICP-AES. The detection limit for Cr(III) and Cr(VI) was 0.08 and 0.15 mu g l-1, respectively. The total analysis time was about 9.4 min. The developed method was successfully applied to the speciation of chromium in river, tap water and wastewater samples with satisfied results.

In the present study, ultratrace amounts of silver collected on the resin were eluted and determined by ICP-MS. The resin packed in a 1 mL mini column could adsorb silver selectively and quantitatively at a flow rate of 2 mL min(-1) in the wide pH range from 1 to 8, and silver adsorbed on the resin could be easily recovered by passing 1 M nitric acid as an eluent into the column. High adsorption capacity for silver at pH 5, 0.37 mmol mL(-1) of the resin, was achieved, and t(1/2) of the adsorption is less than 5 min. The effect of chloride on the collection of silver was examined by varying chloride concentrations from 10(-4) to 0.75 M; the results showed that the present resin can be used for the collection/concentration of ultratrace amounts of silver in natural waters, as well as seawater. To ensure the accuracy and the precision of the method, CASS-4 near shore seawater reference material from the NRCC has been analyzed. This is not a certified SRM for silver, but has been used for comparative silver analysis by several groups, who report very similar results to those that are reported here. The developed method using ethylenediamine-type chitosan resin gives 0.7 pg mL(-1) of the detection limit when 50-fold enrichment was used. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of silver in tap, river, and seawater samples. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KatarinaRosi Ketrin en-aut-sei=Katarina en-aut-mei=Rosi Ketrin kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=TakayanagiToshio en-aut-sei=Takayanagi en-aut-mei=Toshio kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=OshimaMitsuko en-aut-sei=Oshima en-aut-mei=Mitsuko kn-aut-name=大島光子 kn-aut-sei=大島 kn-aut-mei=光子 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=MotomizuShoji en-aut-sei=Motomizu en-aut-mei=Shoji kn-aut-name=本水昌二 kn-aut-sei=本水 kn-aut-mei=昌二 aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Okayama University affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Okayama University affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Okayama University affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Okayama University en-keyword=Chelating resin kn-keyword=Chelating resin en-keyword=Chitosan kn-keyword=Chitosan en-keyword=Determination of silver kn-keyword=Determination of silver en-keyword=Environmental water samples kn-keyword=Environmental water samples en-keyword=ICP-MS kn-keyword=ICP-MS END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=581 cd-vols= no-issue=2 article-no= start-page=214 end-page=220 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2007 dt-pub=20070109 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Functionalization of chitosan with 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid for the adsorption/collection of uranium in water samples and its determination by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=A chitosan resin derivatized with 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid moiety (CCTS-DHBA resin) was newly synthesized for the collection/concentration of trace uranium by using cross-linked chitosan (CCTS) as base material, and the adsorption behavior of uranium as well as 60 elements on the resin was examined by passing the sample solutions through a mini-column packed with the resin. After the elution of the collected elements on the resin with 1M HNO3, the eluates were measured by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The CCTS-DHBA resin can adsorb several metal cations and several oxoanionic elements at appropriate pH. Among these metal ions, uranium shows an excellent adsorption behavior on this resin. Uranium as UO22+ species can be adsorbed on the resin by chelating mechanism with adsorption capacity of 330 mg g(-1) resin. Through the column treatment, the complete removal of large amounts of alkali and alkaline earth matrices without any loss of adsorption efficiency over prolonged usage were achieved with this resin. The CCTS-DHBA resin was applied to the adsorption/collection of uranium in tap water, river water and seawater samples with satisfactory results. The validation of the proposed method was carried out by analyzing uranium in the standard reference materials of SLRS-4, CASS-4, and NASS-5 after passing through the CCTS-DHBA resin, and the results showed good agreement with the certified values. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=SabarudinAkhmad en-aut-sei=Sabarudin en-aut-mei=Akhmad kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=OshimaMitsuko en-aut-sei=Oshima en-aut-mei=Mitsuko kn-aut-name=大島光子 kn-aut-sei=大島 kn-aut-mei=光子 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=TakayanagiToshio en-aut-sei=Takayanagi en-aut-mei=Toshio kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=HakimLukman en-aut-sei=Hakim en-aut-mei=Lukman kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=OshitaKoji en-aut-sei=Oshita en-aut-mei=Koji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=GaoYun Hua en-aut-sei=Gao en-aut-mei=Yun Hua kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=MotomizuShoji en-aut-sei=Motomizu en-aut-mei=Shoji kn-aut-name=本水昌二 kn-aut-sei=本水 kn-aut-mei=昌二 aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Okayama University affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Okayama University affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Okayama University affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Okayama University affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of International Conservation Studies, Faculty of International and Industrial Studies, Kibi International University affil-num=6 en-affil= kn-affil=Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences affil-num=7 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Okayama University en-keyword=Chitosan resin kn-keyword=Chitosan resin en-keyword=3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid kn-keyword=3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid en-keyword=Uranium kn-keyword=Uranium en-keyword=Adsorption kn-keyword=Adsorption en-keyword=Water kn-keyword=Water en-keyword=Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry kn-keyword=Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=588 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=73 end-page=81 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2007 dt-pub=20070404 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Synthesis of novel chitosan resin derivatized with serine diacetic acid moiety and its application to on-line collection/concentration of trace elements and their determination using inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=A novel chelating resin functionalized with serine diacetic acid moiety was synthesized by using chitosan as base material, and applied to the collection/concentration of trace elements in environmental water samples, followed by the determination using inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometer (ICP-AES).

Additionally, rare earth elements also can be retained on the resin at neutral pH region. The adsorbed elements can be easily eluted with 1 mol L-1 of nitric acid, and their recoveries were found to be 90-100%. The CCTS-SDA was packed in a mini-column, which was then installed in a cornputer-controlled auto-pretreatment system (Auto-Pret System) for on-line trace elements collection and determination with ICP-AES. Experimental parameters which related to the improvement of sensitivity and reproducibility were optimized. The limits of detection (LOD) for 13 elements were found to be in sub-ppb level.

The adsorption behavior of trace amounts of elements on the CCTS-DBA resin was examined by the pretreatment with a mini-column and measurement of the elements by inductively coupled plasma-Mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Arsenic(V) could be retained on the CCTS-DBA resin at pH 3 as an oxoanion of H(2)ASO(4)(-). Selenium(VI) is strongly adsorbed at pH 2 and pH 3 as an oxoanion of SeO42-. while selenium(IV) as HSeO3- is adsorbed on the resin at pH 3. The sorption capacities are 82, 64, and 88 mg g(-1) resin for As(V), Se(IV), and Se(VI), respectively. The effect of common anions and cations on the adsorption of As(V), Se(IV), and Se(VI) were studied; there was no interference from such anionic matrices as chloride, sulfate, phosphate, and nitrate up to 20 ppm, as well as from such artificial river water matrices as Na, K, Mg, and Ca after passing samples through the mini-column containing the resin.

A flow-injection analysis method for the spectrofluorometric determination of formaldehyde in waters, which is based on the reaction of formaldehyde with acetoacetanilide and ammonia, is proposed. The proposed method shows a good linearity from 0.50 to 40 x 10(-7) M, and the limit of detection (LOD) of 3 x 10(-9) M (0.09 ppb) is achievable. The sample throughput is 15 h(-1). One of the main advantages in the proposed method is that the reaction can be carried out at room temperature without any heating system. The effect of various interferences possibly present in the real water samples was investigated. Most cations and anions, as well as organic compounds, do not interfere with the determination of formaldehyde in environmental water samples. The proposed method is very simple, rapid, less expensive, and highly sensitive, and can be applied to the environmental water samples, such as rain, tap water and river water, at low concentration levels without any enrichment procedure.

The carboxyl group of the moiety was chemically attached to amino group of cross-linked chitosan through amide bond formation. The adsorption behavior of molybdenum as well as other 60 elements on the resin was examined by passing the sample solutions through a mini-column packed with the resin. After the elution of the elements collected on the resin with 1 M HNO3, the eluates were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES).
The CCTS-NABA resin can adsorb several metal ions, such as vanadium, gallium, arsenic, selenium, silver, bismuth, thorium, tungsten, tin, tellurium, copper, and molybdenum at appropriate pHs. Among these metal ions, only molybdenum could be adsorbed almost completely on the resin at acidic regions. An excellent selectivity toward molybdenum could be obtained at pH 3-4. The adsorption capacity of CCTS-NABA resin for Mo(VI) was 380 mg g(-1) resin. Through the column pretreatment, alkali and alkaline earth metals in river water and seawater samples were successfully removed.
The CCTS-NABA resin was applied to the adsorption/collection of molybdenum in river water and seawater samples. The concentrations of molybdenum in river water samples were found in the range of 0.84 and 0.95 ppb (ng g(-1)), whereas molybdenum in seawater was about 9 ppb. The validation of the proposed method was carried out by determining molybdenum in the certified reference materials of SLRS-4, CASS-4, and NASS-5 after passing through the CCTS-NABA resin; the results showed good agreement with the certified-values.
A new chelating resin using chitosan as a base material was synthesized. Functional moiety of 2-amino-5-hydroxy benzoic acid (AHBA) was chemically bonded to the amino group of cross-linked chitosan (CCTS) through the arm of chloromethyloxirane (CCTS-AHBA resin). Several elements, such as Ag, Be, Cd, Co, Cu, Ni, Ph, U, V, and rare earth elements (REEs), could be adsorbed on the resin. To use the resin for on-line pretreatment, the resin was packed in a mini-column and installed into a sequential-injection/automated pretreatment system (Auto-Pret System) coupled with inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). The sequential-injection/automated pretreatment system was a laboratory-assembled, and the program was written using Visual Basic software. This system can provide easy operation procedures, less reagent consumption, as well as less waste production. Experimental variables considered as effective factors in the improvement sensitivity, such as an eluent concentration, a sample and an eluent flow rate, pH of samples, and air-sandwiched eluent were carefully optimized. The proposed system provides excellent on-line collection efficiency, as well as high concentration factors of analytes in water samples, which results in highly sensitive detection of ultra-trace and trace analysis. Under the optimal conditions, the detection limits of 24 elements examined are in the range from ppt to sub-ppb levels. The proposed method was validated by using the standard reference material of a river water, SLRS-4, and the applicability was further demonstrated to the on-line collection/concentration of trace elements, such as Ag, Be, Cd, Co, Cu, Ni, Ph, U, V, and REEs in water samples.

The adsorption behavior of bismuth and 55 elements on glycine-type chitosan resin was systematically examined by passing a sample solution containing 56 elements through a mini-column packed with the resin (wet volume; I ml). After eluting the elements adsorbed on the resin with nitric acid, the eluates were measured by ICP-MS. The glycine-type chitosan resin could adsorb several cations by a chelating mechanism and several oxoanions by an anion-exchange mechanism. Especially, the resin could adsorb almost 100% Bi(III) over a wide pH region from pH 2 to 6. Bismuth could be strongly adsorbed at pH 3, and eluted quantitatively with 10 ml of 3 M nitric acid. A column pretreatment method with the glycine-type chitosan resin was used prior to removal of high concentrations of matrices in a seawater sample and the preconcentration of trace bismuth in river water samples for ICP-MS measurements. The column pretreatment method was also applied to the determination of bismuth in real samples by ICP-MS. The LOD of bismuth was 0.1 pg ml(-1) by 10-fold column preconcentration for ICP-MS measurements. The analytical results for bismuth in sea and river water samples by ICP-MS were 22.9 +/- 0.5 pg ml(-1) (RSD, 2.2%) and 2.08 +/- 0.05 pg ml(-1) (RSD, 2.4%), respectively.

The preconcentration of lead was performed with a minicolumn containing a lead-selective resin, Analig Pb-01, which was installed between a selection and a switching valve. In an acidic condition ( pH 1), lead could be adsorbed on the resin. The concentrated lead was afterward eluted with 25 mu L of 0.06 M nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) solution ( pH 9) and was subsequently transported into the nebulizer of ICP-AES for quantification. The selectivity of the resin toward lead was examined using a solution containing a mixture of 61 elements. When a sample volume of 5 mL was used, the quantitative collection of lead ( >= 97%) was achieved, along with an enrichment factor of 19, a sampling frequency of 12 samples hr(-1), a detection limit of 70 pg mL(-1), and a lowest quantification limit of 100 pg mL(-1). The linear dynamic range was 0.1 to 5 ng mL(-1), and the relative standard deviation (n = 9) was 0.5% at a 5 ng mL(-1) Pb level. The detection limit of 30 pg mL(-1) and lowest quantification limit of 50 pg mL(-1) could be achieved when 10 mL of sample volume was used. The accuracy of the proposed method was validated by determining lead in the standard reference material of river water (SLRS-4), and its applicability to the determination of lead in environmental river water samples was demonstrated.

The N-methyl-D-glucamine (NMDG) moiety was attached to the amino group of CCTS through the arm of chloromethyloxirane. The adsorption behavior of 59 elements on the synthesized resin was systematically examined by using the resin packed in a mini-column, passing water samples through it and measuring the adsorbed elements in eluates by ICP-MS. The CCTS-NMDG resin shows high ability in boron sorption with the capacity of 0.61 mmol ml(-1) (= 2.1 mmol g(-1)). The sorption kinetics of this resin was faster than that of the commercially available resins. Other advantages of the synthesized resin are: (1) quantitative collection of boron at neutral pH regions; (2) complete removal of large amounts of matrices; (3) no loss of efficiency over prolonged usage; (4) effective collection of boron in wide range concentration using a mini column containing 1 ml resin; (5) complete elution of boron with 1 mol 1(-1) nitric acid. The resin was applied to the collection/concentration of boron in water samples. Boron in tap water and river water was found to be in the range of 6-8 mu g 1(-1). The limit of detection (LOD) of boron after pretreatment with CCTS-NMDG resin and measurement by ICP-MS was 0.07 mu g 1(-1) and the limit of quantification (LOQ) was 0. 14 mu g 1(-1) when the volume of each sample and eluent was 10 ml.

A 5-mL aliquot of sample (pH 5.5) was introduced to the minicolumn for the adsorption/preconcentration of the metal ions, and the collected analytes on the mini-column were eluted with 2 M HNO3, and the eluates was subsequently transported via direct injection to the nebulizer of ICP-AES for quantification. The parameters affecting on the sensitivity, such as sample pH, sample flow rate, eluent concentration, and eluent flow rate, were carefully examined. Alkali and alkaline earth metal ions commonly existing in river water and seawater did not affect the analysis of metals. Under the optimum conditions, the method allowed the determination of metal ions with detection limits of 0.08 ng mL(-1) (Ag), 0.9 ng mL(-1) (Bi), 0.07 ng mL(-1) (Cu), 0.9 ng mL(-1) (Ga), 0.9 ng mL(-1) (In), 0.08 ng mL(-1) (Mo), 0.09 ng mL(-1) (Ni), 0.9 ng mL(-1) (U), and 0.08 ng mL(-1) (V). By using 5 mL of sample solution, the enrichment factor and collection efficiency were 8-12 fold and 96-102%, respectively, whereas the sample throughput was 7 samples/hour. The method was validated by determining metal ions in certified reference material of river water (SLRS-4) and nearshore seawater (CASS-4), and its applicability was further demonstrated to river water and seawater samples.

They are halotolerant, which means that they can survive in environments whose salt content corresponds to that of seawater (3.0% NaCl). However, the presence of Aeromonas in seawater is extremely rare compared with that in river water. In this study, we tested the ability of Aeromonas sobria to produce toxins in river water and seawater. First, we cultured A. sobria on skim milk agar plates supplemented with either river water (SARW) or seawater (SASW). The bacteria grew on both plates. A clear zone around the bacteria was generated in SARW. However, such a zone was not observed in SASW, suggesting that proteases were not generated in SASW. Subsequently, we cultured A. sobria in a nutrient broth supplemented with either river water (NRW) or with seawater (NSW), and examined the protease activity of their culture supernatants. The protease activity of the culture supernatant from NSW was extremely low compared to that from NRW. The immunoblotting analysis showed that serine protease (ASP) was not produced by the culture in NSW. By contrast, aerolysin-like hemolysin was produced in all conditions examined in this study. This indicates that the salinity of water is deeply involved in the production of ASP by A. sobria.

The NH(4) centents of Archean volcanic rocks (2700~2710m.y.) are very low (0~6 ppm) and immature argillites have also low contents of NH(4) (27~43ppm). On the other hand, a black shale from the Timiskaming Group (2100m.y.) are rich in graphite and pyrite and contain much NH4 (130ppm), providing a firm evidence of relatively abundant presence of an Archean biota compared with a sparcity of morphological record of Archean fossils. The NH(4) content of the rock mentioned above is about a third of those of the upper Proterozoic sediments and it remains to be established whether it reflects the abrupt break in the evolution of life near the Archean-Proterozoic boundary or not. A considerable amount of NH(4) is inherited by highly metamorphic pelitic gneisses and there may be a possibility for indirect prospection of early life by a study of NH(4) in highly metamorphic rocks of the early Archean. It was also found that the gneissic granitoid has much higher content of NH(4) than the post? kinematic massive granitoid. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=HonmaHiroji en-aut-sei=Honma en-aut-mei=Hiroji kn-aut-name=本間弘次 kn-aut-sei=本間 kn-aut-mei=弘次 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=SchwarczHenry P. kn-aut-sei=Schwarcz kn-aut-mei=Henry P. aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学温泉研究所地質学部門 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Geology, Mc Master University END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=17 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=49 end-page=55 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1995 dt-pub=19951220 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Determination of Inorganic Anions in Environmental Samples by Capillary Electrophoresis kn-title=キャピラリー電気泳動法による環境試料中の無機陰イオンの定量 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Several inorganic anions in environmental water samples, such as river, rain, tap, and waste waters, were determined by capillary electrophoresis with indirect photometric UV detection. In this study, the use of a polymer coated silica capillary and an anionic organic photometric reagent realized a stable baseline and short analytical time. Nine kinds of anions, Cl(-), Br(-), NO(3)(-), SO(4)(2-), C(2)O(4)(2-), ClO(4)(-), F(-), HPO(4)(2-), and HCO(3)(-), were well separated and detected within 12 minutes. Calibration graphs for the anions showed a good linearity in the range of 0 to 4x10(-4) mol dm(-3). Detection limits of the anions were 2x10(-6) mol dm(-3) (HPO(4)(2-)) to 4x10(-5) mol dm(-3) (NO(2)(-)). Anions in river water (Zasu river) and waste water (Okayama University, North district) were measured over 5 days. The waste water contained various kinds of anions, at high concentrations with its large variation, when compared with the river water. The proposed method offers a simple, rapid, and accurate analysis of anions in water samples. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=TakayanagiToshio en-aut-sei=Takayanagi en-aut-mei=Toshio kn-aut-name=高柳俊夫 kn-aut-sei=高柳 kn-aut-mei=俊夫 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=WadaEiko en-aut-sei=Wada en-aut-mei=Eiko kn-aut-name=和田栄子 kn-aut-sei=和田 kn-aut-mei=栄子 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=OshimaMitsuko en-aut-sei=Oshima en-aut-mei=Mitsuko kn-aut-name=大島光子 kn-aut-sei=大島 kn-aut-mei=光子 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=MotomizuShoji en-aut-sei=Motomizu en-aut-mei=Shoji kn-aut-name=本水昌二 kn-aut-sei=本水 kn-aut-mei=昌二 aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学理学部化学科 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学理学部化学科 affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学理学部化学科 affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学理学部化学科 END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=21 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=4 end-page=10 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1999 dt-pub=199908 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Determination of trace metals in environmental water samples by inductively coupled plasma - mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) kn-title=誘導結合プラズマ―質量分析法による環境水中の微量金属の定量 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Trace metals in water samples, such as tap water, river water, and sea water, were determined by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). ICP-MS has sufficient sensitivity to detect even below the concentrations of ppt level, and therefore the samples were not pretreated with a concentration column. Practical samples were diluted by lo-fold with ultrapure water and measured directly by ICP-MS. The measuring time of one sample was 2.5 min, and the data for 30 elements were obtained simultaneously. The concentrations of heavy metals, such as Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Sb, and Pb, in the water samples were in the ranges of 0.05~82ng/ml. Zasu river and Sibukawa (sea water) contained various kinds of metals, and the concentration ranges were spread in a wide range; for example, Mg was 25700 ppb and In was 2 ppt. ICP-MS is found to be a useful and a powerful instrument for trace amounts of elements, and can be applied satisfactorily to the environmental water analysis. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=LeeKyue-Hyung en-aut-sei=Lee en-aut-mei=Kyue-Hyung kn-aut-name=李啓? kn-aut-sei=李 kn-aut-mei=啓? aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=OshimaMitsuko en-aut-sei=Oshima en-aut-mei=Mitsuko kn-aut-name=大島光子 kn-aut-sei=大島 kn-aut-mei=光子 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=TakayanagiToshio en-aut-sei=Takayanagi en-aut-mei=Toshio kn-aut-name=高柳俊夫 kn-aut-sei=高柳 kn-aut-mei=俊夫 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=MotomizuShoji en-aut-sei=Motomizu en-aut-mei=Shoji kn-aut-name=本水昌二 kn-aut-sei=本水 kn-aut-mei=昌二 aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学理学部化学科 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学理学部化学科 affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学理学部化学科 affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学理学部化学科 END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=19 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=23 end-page=27 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2002 dt-pub=200209 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Evaluations of River-eco charcoal on the blood routine and blood biochemical values in rats en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract= en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KurabayashiYuzuru en-aut-sei=Kurabayashi en-aut-mei=Yuzuru kn-aut-name=倉林譲 kn-aut-sei=倉林 kn-aut-mei=譲 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=TangJ.M. kn-aut-sei=Tang kn-aut-mei=J.M. aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=YangG.J. kn-aut-sei=Yang kn-aut-mei=G.J. aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=LiuE.Q. kn-aut-sei=Liu kn-aut-mei=E.Q. aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=YamaguchiYasuyuki kn-aut-sei=Yamaguchi kn-aut-mei=Yasuyuki aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=YamadaSumio kn-aut-sei=Yamada kn-aut-mei=Sumio aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Okayama University Medical School affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Shanghai Transgenic Research Center affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Beijing University Medical College affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Xi-an Jiao-tong University Medical College affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=Kawasaki Seitetsu Co.

A phase separator with a poly(tetrafluoroethylene) porous membrane (0.8μm pore size) was used to separate the organic phase. Six derivatives of cationic azo dyes and several extracting solvents were examined; a pair of 1-methyl-4-(4-diethylaminophenylazo)- pyridinium cation and chloroform turned out best. The sampling rate was 30 samples per hour. Calibration graphs were linear up to 2×10(-6)M or 3×10(-5)M of anionic surfactant when injection volume was 300 or 100μl, respectively. The relative standard deviation(n=10) was 1.5% for 300μl of 1×10(-6)M sodium dodecylsulfate. The detection limit was as little as 1×10(-8)M of anionic surfactant.

The ion associates of MQ with anionic surfactants extracted into an organic phase showed a blue shift of the maximum absorption wavelength; their molar absorptivities were 4.5×10(4)l mol(-1) cm(-1) at 560nm. In the batchwise method, a 40-fold extraction concentration was possible. In the 20-fold concentration, the calibration graph was linear at concentration ranging from 1×10(-8)M to 7.5×10(-7)M of anionic surfactants, and the mean absorbances of the reagent blank and the 5×10(-7)M anionic surfactant (dodecylsulfate : LS(-)) were 0.024 and 0.518, respectively; the relative standard deviation for 10 measurements of 5×10(-7)M LS(-) was 0.28%. Foreign ions generally existing in river water did not interfere with the determination. This solvent-extraction spectrophotometric method was satisfactorily applied to a flow-injection method. The reagent MQ was recycled and repeatedly used at least for 7 months, and the efficiency of the reagent has not changed during at least this period. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=KubotaHiroki kn-aut-sei=Kubota kn-aut-mei=Hiroki aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=KatsukiMiki kn-aut-sei=Katsuki kn-aut-mei=Miki aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=MotomizuShoji en-aut-sei=Motomizu en-aut-mei=Shoji kn-aut-name=本水昌二 kn-aut-sei=本水 kn-aut-mei=昌二 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 en-keyword=Spectrophotometry kn-keyword=Spectrophotometry en-keyword=ion association extraction kn-keyword=ion association extraction en-keyword=anionic surfactants kn-keyword=anionic surfactants en-keyword=4-(4-N,N-dimethylaminophenylazo)-2-methylquinoline kn-keyword=4-(4-N,N-dimethylaminophenylazo)-2-methylquinoline en-keyword=batchwise method kn-keyword=batchwise method en-keyword=flow-injection method kn-keyword=flow-injection method END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=6 cd-vols= no-issue=2 article-no= start-page=215 end-page=220 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1990 dt-pub=19900410 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Spectrophotometric Determination of Calcium with Dicyclohexano- 24-crown-8 and Propyl Orange by Solvent Extraction/Flow Injection Method en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Calcium in water was determined by a spectrophotometric method involving flow injection coupled with solvent extraction.

Six derivatives of alkylaminophenylazobenzene sulfonic acid and tetrabromophenolphthalein ethylester were examined as counter anions with dicyclohexano-24-crown-8, and a mixture of benzene and chlorobenzene was examined as an extraction solvent. A suitable method for calcium determination in water was one with Propyl Orange and a (1+1 v/v) mixture of benzene and chlorobenzene. The carrier stream was distilled water, while the reagent stream was comprised of a dye anion and lithium hydroxide. The sampling rate was 20-30 per hour. The calibration graph was linear at concentrations up to 10(-4)M using samples of 100μl.
