Impacts, Outputs, and Realities: Analysing the Results of the Nagoya University Program for Academic Exchange (NUPACE) Follow-up Survey on Exchange Student Alumni of FY 2015–2019, and FY 2022
Get PDFThe Nagoya University Program for Academic Exchange (NUPACE) has, in its twenty-eight-year history, admitted 2,821 inbound exchange students from 175 partner institutions spanning forty countries and regions. It comprises one of the largest inbound exchange programmes established at national universities in Japan and, as such, comprises a key source for gauging the value of inbound mobility, be it for participants, their host institutions, or host countries. To what extent do exchange programmes influence the life choices of inbound students? Are bonds to the host country and institution strengthened in any meaningful way? This report presents the results of a survey carried out on NUPACE exchange alumni who were enrolled at Nagoya University in FY 2015–2019 and FY 2022. Not only does the information garnered deepen the programme coordinators’ understanding of how participants perceive and assign value to their exchange experience; numerical data on satisfaction levels provide meaningful insights into the career path student choices of students following their exchange.departmental bulletin pape

Magnetic-nanoparticle-embedded “wireless” hydrogel microvalve
Get PDFWe propose and demonstrate remotely activated (“wireless”) microvalves that utilize the volume change of thermoresponsive gels, induced by the magnetic heating of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) embedded within these gels. The thermoresponsive gels were precisely patterned on Si substrates via photolithography. Notably, embedding MNPs in the gels did not compromise the patterning accuracy; the MNP concentration range of 1–3 wt% in the sols (the range of interest in this study) does not strongly affect the swelling behavior of the thermoresponsive gels. The microvalves exhibited strong actuation due to the magnetic heating of the MNPs when subjected to alternating magnetic fields. Our investigation of the valve switching response demonstrated that the opening and closing behavior closely follows the switching of the applied magnetic field.Article first published online: April 3, 2025journal articl
