** Research

*Serine protease zymogen Prochelicerase C is intermolecularly
activated through a lipopolysaccharide-induced active transition
state
http://www.kyushu-u.ac.jp/en/researches/view/96
------------------------------------------------------------
The research group led by Prof. Shun-ichiro Kawabata and Assoc.
Prof. Toshio Shibata at Kyushu University’s Faculty of Science
succeeded to confirm the presence of an active transition state
of Prochelicerase C induced by interactions with LPS.


*Electron doping improves photocatalytic activity for H2 and O2
evolution
http://www.kyushu-u.ac.jp/en/researches/view/98
------------------------------------------------------------
Dr. Yoshihiro Yamazaki at Kyushu University (Q-PIT), Dr. Kazuhiko
Maeda at the Tokyo Institute of Technology and collaborators have
found that the electron doping into SrTiO3 photocatalyst enlarges
photocatalytic hydrogen and oxygen evolution reaction under UV light
irradiation.

*Novel Method of Quantifying Cesium-rich Microparticles released
from Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant(FDNPP)
http://www.kyushu-u.ac.jp/en/researches/view/95
------------------------------------------------------------
Mr. Ryohei Ikehara (M2 student) and a team lead by Dr. Satoshi
Utsunomiya of Department of Chemistry developed a new method to
quantify the CsMPs in surface soils collected from the regions
surrounding the FDNPP based on autoradiography, which we call
“quantification of CsMPs (QCP)”.

*Exciton limits are meant to be broken: OLED surpasses 100% exciton
production efficiency
http://www.kyushu-u.ac.jp/en/researches/view/97
------------------------------------------------------------
Researchers at Kyushu University’s Center for Organic Photonics and
Electronics Research (OPERA) in Japan have demonstrated a way to split
energy in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and surpass the 100%
limit for exciton production, opening a promising new route for creating
low-cost and high-intensity near-infrared light sources for sensing and
communications applications.


**Events

*Kyushu Debate Open 2018
Date: 2018.08.18[Sat] - 2018.08.19[Sat]
http://www.kyushu-u.ac.jp/en/events/view/97
------------------------------------------------------------
Kyushu Debate Open(QDO)is the only international debate tournament
of British Parliamentary style in Japan. This tournament attracts
many participants from all over the world every year and has been
supported by a lot of public authorities since 2014.
