    Abstract Plastic identification is a fundamental step in material and chemical recycling. Overlap between plastics is a common limitation of existing identification methods, and it is necessary for plastic waste to be shredded and spread over an area to avoid overlapping between flakes. However, this process decreases sorting efficiency and also increases the risk of misidentification. This study specifically focuses on plastic sheets and aims to develop an efficient identification method for overlapping plastic sheets, by using short-wavelength infrared hyperspectral imaging. The method is based on the Lambert-Beer law and is simple to implement. We consider a practical situation with a reflection-based measurement system and demonstrate the identification performance of the proposed method. The tolerance of the proposed method against error sources of measurement is also discussed.

    Abstract Statistically weighted principal component analysis (wPCA) is widely used to reduce the noise of scanning transmission electron microscopy-energy-dispersive X-ray (STEM-EDX) spectroscopic data. It is beneficial to retain the spatial resolution of observation in each step of the analysis, but the direct application of wPCA without preprocessing, such as spatial averaging, often fails against low-count STEM-EDX data. To enhance the applicability of wPCA while retaining spatial resolution, a step-by-step noise reduction method is considered in this study. Specifically, a numerical optimization is developed to simultaneously characterize the smoothness of EDX spectra and the low rankness of the data. In the presented approach, low-count data are first spectrally smoothed by solving this optimization problem, and then further denoised by using wPCA to project onto a subspace rigorously spanned by a small number of components. A challenging example is provided, and the improved noise reduction performance is demonstrated and compared to existing spectral smoothing techniques.

    Abstract Optically resonant nanoparticles decorated with donor-acceptor molecular pairs have been attracting attention for applications as nanoprobes in bioimaging and biosensing. We produced composite nanoparticles composed of donor-acceptor molecular pairs and silicon nanospheres (Si NSs) with diameters of 100-200 nm exhibiting Mie resonances in the visible range and studied the effect of Mie resonances on their photoluminescence properties. We showed that the photoluminescence spectra are strongly modified by Mie resonances and the spectral shape is controlled in a wide range by the Si NS size; by controlling the size, we can achieve the photoluminescence maximum from that of a donor molecule to that of an acceptor molecule almost continuously. From the photoluminescence decay properties in combination with theoretical calculations, we showed that the observed strong modification of the spectral shape is mainly due to the Purcell effect on donor and acceptor molecules, and the effect of Mie resonances on the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) rate is relatively small. We also showed that because of the large Purcell effect and the small FRET rate enhancement, Mie resonances decrease the FRET efficiency.

    Abstract Key message: We generated a new Koshihikari rice line with a drastically reduced content of glutelin proteins and higher lodging resistance by using new and conventional plant breeding techniques. Using CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing, we generated mutant rice with drastically decreased contents of major glutelins. A Koshihikari rice mutant line, a123, lacking four glutelins (GluA1, GluA2, GluB4, and GluB5) was used as a host, and another five major glutelin genes (GluA3, GluB1a, GluB1b, GluB2, and GluC) were knocked out through two iterations of Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Mutant seeds were deficient in the GluA family, GluB family, and GluC, and the line obtained was named GluABC KO. Glutelin content was much lower in GluABC KO than in the existing low-glutelin rice mutant LGC-1. A null segregant of GluABC KO was selected using new-generation sequencing and backcrossing, and the sd-1 allele for the semi-dwarf trait was introduced to increase lodging resistance.

    Abstract The larval form of the Phyllobothriidea cestode was found in the blubber of a Cape fur seal (Arctocephalus pusillus pusillus) from a zoo in Japan. Bladder-bearing larval cestodes with a scolex have been occasionally reported from blubbers of pinnipeds and morphologically identified as Clistobothrium delphini (formerly known as Phyllobothrium delphini) or rarely Clistobothrium grimaldii (Monorygma grimaldii). Although the larvae here morphologically resembled C. delphini, the 28S rDNA sequence was 100% (1,430/1,430 bp) homologous to the registered sequence of C. grimaldii (GenBank Accession No. KU724058). This discrepancy between morphological and molecular analyses confirms the difficulty of identifying C. delphini and C. grimaldii larvae based solely on morphology, and the need for molecular data to elucidate the morphological variations in Clistobothrium parasites.

    Abstract Hypercholesterolemia is a major complication of arteriosclerosis. Mast cells in arteriosclerosis plaques induce inflammatory reactions and promote arterial sclerosis. In this study, we evaluated the pharmacological effects of simvastatin (SV)-3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors on the degranulation of rat basophilic leukemia (RBL)-2H3 cells, which are commonly used as mast cell models. SV significantly decreased the degranulation induced by three types of stimulation: antigen antibody reaction (Ag-Ab), thapsigargin (Tg) serosal endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase (SERCA) inhibitor, and A23187 calcium ionophore. SV had a stronger inhibitory effect on degranulation induced by Ag-Ab stimulation than the other two stimulations. However, SV did not inhibit increase of intracellular Ca
