Abstract We have been continuing exploration of new electro-active functionalities in transparent oxide-basedmaterials since 1994. If electro-active function could be imparted to abundant metal oxides, one wouldbe able to expect to have new material frontier for sustainable society. This expectation made me startthe explorative research on functional transparent oxides. As a result, application of oxide (IGZO)-thinfilm transistors to displays of iPad, smart phones and OLED-TVs started from 2012. In this talk Ireview our research on new material frontiers (Fig.1), focusing on iron-based superconductors whichwe discovered and electronic functionalities of a cement constituent 12CaO•7Al2O3..

Abstract Recent studies show that natural resources and wars/armed conflicts are highly correlated; for examplethe unusually high rate of civil wars in Sub-Saharan Africa, a region with many resource-dependentstates (Ross 2003, 2004). International security expert Michael T. Klare in Resource Wars (2002)argues that major wars over oil have been fought every decade or so since World War I, and assertsthat, as armies throughout the world define resource security as a primary objective, widespreadinstability is bound to follow, especially in those areas where competition for essential materialsoverlaps with long-standing territorial and religious disputes. Le Billon proposes political ecology ofwar based on the socially constructed nature of resources; the political economy, materiality andgeography of resources can significantly influence the likelihood and course of armed conflicts, whilethe needs and practices of war have influenced the pattern of resource exploitation and the state of theenvironment (Le Billon 2001: 566). Le Billon asserts that armed conflicts and natural resources can bedirectly related in two main ways: armed conflicts motivated by the control of resources, and resourcesintegrated into the financing of armed conflicts (op.cit.: 580). Nonetheless, such studies draw theirconclusions on limited observations on conflict-intensive regions like Africa and the Middle East. As aresult, their findings are usually less relevant to the cases where several major powers are involved,specifically in the East- and South China Sea in recent years. Against this background, my study willfocus on the contemporary maritime disputes and potential crisis in the East- and South China Sea overexplorable offshore gas fields. Using the lateral pressure theory (Choucri, North and Yamakage, 1992)as a benchmark model, this preliminary study aims to develop a system dynamic model to explain theempirical relationship between natural resources competition and the risk of armed conflict. In suchcontext, an interdisciplinary methodology combining global energy system analysis and energy securityis applicable.

Abstract All solid-state batteries are promising candidate for the future energy storage systems with high energyand power densities. The most important issue to be solved is the materials for the solid electrolyte.Lithium superionic conductors promise the potential to replace organic liquid electrolytes and therebyimprove safety of the next-generation high-energy batteries. The Li10GeP2S12 (LGPS) has anextremely high ionic conductivity of over 10・2 S cm・1 at room temperature and its value is comparableto that of liquid systems. The LGPS has a three-dimensional framework structure, which provides a one-dimensional lithium conduction pathway. The composition change in the solid solution affects theconductivity. The structure analysis provided information of the conduction mechanism. The materialsvariety produced by the cationic and anionic substitution is important for the future practicalapplications. The LGPS phases were examined as a solid electrolyte and the battery characteristics weredemonstrated.

Abstract For achieve sustainable development, social development to meet the needs of the present withoutcompromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs (Brundtland Report, 1987), weneed to tackle really complex and “messy” systems problems. These messy systems have propertiesthat none of their parts have and these properties are lost when the system is taken apart. Hence, tomanage the messy problems, we definitely need to develop methodologies to understand the problemsituation as a system of interconnected, interdependent, and interacting problems. Social SystemicDesign Approach/Thinking is well known as one of such methodologies. Social Systemic Design Approach/Thinking is a collaborative, human-centered approach to solvingmessy problems by going through specific stages: (1) Understanding human needs (empathize), (2)framing the problem (define), (3) Generating ideas (ideate) and building models (prototype), and (4)Getting feedback to refine models (test). In this lecture, we focus on the ideate/prototype stage and claim social simulation approach ispromising and effective in this stage. Social simulation is necessary because the interactions ofadaptive agents typically lead to nonlinear effects that in particular are not amenable to the deductivetools of formal mathematics. Then, we illustrate the approach by taking as an example a trade-off problem of car sharing and socialsustainability. By using social simulation approach we try to answer the following research questions:(1) Under what conditions car sharing is getting popular and widespread, and (2) How compatible carsharing system and economic sustainability is. Finally, we refer to an essential role of Social Systemic Design Approach/Thinking in ourcollaboration scheme with FuturICT project conducted by EU.

Abstract Organic electronic and photonic devices are attracting a great deal of attention due to the potentialapplication to large-area, low-cost, and flexible electronic devices. We have explored new organicsemiconductors for organic transistors, among which particular attention has been recently paid toambipolar semiconductors, where both electron and hole transport is possible. Ambipolarsemiconductors are important not only for transistors but also for solar cells. We have founddiphenylindigo (Figure) shows excellent ambipolar transistor properties. Indigo is a dye known fromthe ancient time, and is popularly used in blue jeans. The characteristic blue color is associated withthe long-wavelength absorption, and the resulting small HOMO-LUMO gap is crucial to realize theambipolar transport. We discuss why this compound shows excellent performance from the structuralpoint of view, and how the two kinds of charge carriers are transported in the actual transistors.

Abstract One of the recent hot topics in condensed matter physics is various topological phases realized inmaterials. They include quantum Hall systems, which were experimentally found in 1980, andtopological insulators, which were theoretically proposed in 2005 and experimentally confirmed in2007. In these systems, the interior is insulating and not conducting electric current, whereas thesystem boundaries (edges or surfaces) are metallic. This property persists even if the material is cutinto two; the section then immediately becomes a surface, and it becomes metallic. This novel propertyis attributed to a topological order in the material. It is interesting that such an abstract mathematicalconcept is hidden in real materials. In my presentation, I explain these concepts for electrons in real materials. Recently we are alsoextending such a concept into other particles in condensed materials. The particles to be studiedinclude photons (light) and magnons (spin waves) in magnets. In my talk we also explain thesetheories, and show how the concept of topological order is universally found in various particles incondensed materials.

Abstract Autophagy is a bulk protein degradation system well conserved from yeast to higher eukaryotes.Recently it is getting clear that autophagy is relevant to so many physiological events and diseases.More than 26 years ago we first found autophagy induced by nutrient starvations in the yeast, S.cerevisiae, under a light microscope. Taking this advantage of the yeast, we succeeded in isolation ofmany autophagy-defective mutants. Ｗe know now that 18 ATG genes are essential for starvation-induced autophagy. These Atg proteins function concertedly in the sequestration of cytoplasmicconstituents, the formation of a specialized membrane, known as the autophagosome. The Atg proteinsconsist of six functional units, namely the Atg1 protein kinase and its regulators, the PI3 kinasecomplex, the Atg2-Atg18 complex, the membrane protein Atg9, and two unique ubiquitin-likeconjugation systems. Since these ATG genes are well conserved from yeast to mammals and plants, avast range of studies in autophagy have recently been undertaken in various organisms. These proteinsfunction spatiotemporally in a concerted manner on the peri-vacuolar structure named the PAS.Present our knowledge on dynamic functions of Atg proteins during autophagosome formation andrecent physiological studies of autophagy in yeast will be discussed.

Abstract Life depends on the function of proteins. Proteins are linear chains of amino acids (polypeptide chains)that adopt unique three-dimensional structures. The polypetide chains must fold into the tertiarystructures for biological functions. Basically, the folding process is spontaneous. However, proteinfolding is often hampered by inter-molecular protein aggregation, which can be prevented by a variety ofchaperone proteins in the cell. In this talk, I would like to talk about our recent works on global analyseson aggregation and chaperone (1-3).

Abstract A TPEN derivative with 4 vinyl groups, N,N,N',N' -tetrakis-(4-propenyloxy-2-pyridylmethyl)ethylenediamine (TPPEN) was synthesized for the separation of trivalent minor actinide(Am(III)) and lanthanide (Eu(III)). A copolymer gel with TPPEN and N -isopropylacrylamide (NIPA)showed a high separation factor of Am(III) over Eu(III) (SFAm/Eu), which was evaluated to be 26 at pH 5.Thin film of NIPA-TPPEN gel (average thickness: 2-40 nm) was immobilized on the pore surface inporous silica particles (particle diameter : 50μm, average pore diameter : 50 and 300 nm) and achromatographic column (diameter: 6mm, height: 11mm) packed with the gel-coated particles wasprepared. A small amount of weakly acidic solution (pH4) containing Am(III) and Eu(III) was suppliedin the column and the elution tests of Am(III) and Eu(III) were carried out. Eu(III) was recoveredseparately by a weakly acidic eluent (pH4) at 313K and Am(III) by a highly acidic eluent (pH2) at 298K.These results suggest that the contentious separation of MAs and Lns is attainable by a new extractionchromatographic process with two columns adjusted to 298K and 313K.
