    Boron nitride nanotube (BNNT) has attracted recent attention owing to its exceptional material properties; yet, practical implementation in real-life applications has been elusive, mainly due to the purity issues associated with its large-scale synthesis. Although different purification methods have been discussed so far, there lacks a scalable solution method in the community. In this work, a simple, high-throughput, and scalable purification of BNNT is reported via modification of an established sorting technique, aqueous polymer two-phase extraction. A complete partition mapping of the boron nitride species is established, which enables the segregation of the highly pure BNNT with a major impurity removal efficiency of > 98%. A successful scaling up of the process is illustrated and provides solid evidence of its diameter sorting behavior. Last, towards its macroscopic assemblies, a liquid crystal of the purified BNNT is demonstrated. The effort toward large-scale solution purification of BNNT is believed to contribute significantly to the macroscopic realization of its exceptional properties in the near future.

    韓元震(1682-1751)은 本貫이 淸州, 字가 德昭, 號가 南塘으로 漢陽의 於義洞 外家에서 태어났다. 그러나 8세부터 祖父를 따라 충청도의 結成(現 洪城)으로 내려가 南塘理 와 暘谷理 에 거주한 채 성리학 연구에 전념하며 당대의 지식인에게 주어진 역사적 과제를 해결하기 위한 철학적 기초를 확립하는 일에 평생을 바쳤다. 특히 독학으로 經學에 몰두하다가 21세 되던 1702년에 栗谷 李珥(1536-1584)와 沙溪 金長生(1548-1631), 尤庵 宋時烈(1607-1689)로 이어진 畿湖 性理學의 嫡傳이 바로 遂菴 權尙夏(1641-1721)에 있음을 알고는 黃 江 의 寒水齊로 찾아가 강론을 들은 뒤 정식 제자가 됨으로써 기호성리학의 嫡傳을 이은 湖學의 宗匠이 되었다.Namdang Han Wonjin is the savant of Hohak (the school of Chungcheong-do Province) which genuinely inherited Noo-Confucianism of Giho (Chungcheong-do Province), the leader of the in-law government of the late Joseon period Han emphasized Hua-Yi distinction (Sino-barbarian dichotomy) and Cheoksa (the theory of rejecting heterodoxy) in particular. His ideology spreaded throughout Hongju culture area (South Western Chungcheong-do Province), and it had a great influence on the development of the Wijung Cheoksa (defending orthodoxy and rejecting heterodoxy) movement and the emergence of the righteous armies, or Uibyeong since the late 19th century, when the imperialist pillage moved into high gear with the western powers occupying Asia and forcing to open ports. As Han's works on Neo-Confucianism affected the late Joseon period, Han's portrait is also noteworthy in that it delineates how Sim-ui Bok-geon (attired in formal Confucian dress, with a top for exalted personage and a fmmal bandana) portrait - 1he most beloved form of Yuhyeon (eminent Confuscian scholar) portraits, including those of Song Siyeol and Gwon Sangha – was inhetited and proliferated since Neo-Confucianism became indigenous in the late Joseon er

    Kendo is one of the Japanese martial arts (Budo). Kendo within the Physical Education( PE) curriculum at upper secondary schools is taught with the aim of learning the traditional etiquette of Budo, to learn skills and to lay the foundation for lifelong sports participation. The Japanese Ministry of Education, Science and Culture expects school Kendo teachers to achieve these aims within a child-centred approach, not in a traditional drill-type approach to teaching. This thesis aims to explore school Kendo teachers'views of Kendo within the PE curriculum as sport and / or as Budo, and the teaching of tactics and strategies in their Kendo lessons. It also attempts to develop and present a new approach to the teaching of Kendo making use of tactical and strategic ideas. The thesis IS multi-layered in methodological terms. The research was conducted by the use of two rounds of semi-structured interviews with seventeen and then fifty-three upper secondary school Kendo teachers respectively. The final phase of the research was a practical action research project carried out in a Japanese Secondary School. A range of methods was employed, comprising: participative observation, documentary analyses, a written test and a skill-related test. The data from the interviews revealed that school Kendo teachers wish to have their lessons aimed at character building such as learning the traditional etiquette by following the traditional approach to Kendo as Budo. The results of the interviews also revealed that most teachers were reluctant to teach sport tactics as it was counter to the dominant ideology of Budo as "real Kendo". These teachers believe that teaching tactics was inconsistent with the traditional etiquette of fighting fairly, and that would only help pupils to understand "Kendo as a competitive sport" as opposed to "real Kendo" as Budo. The results of the action research at an upper secondary school in Fukuoka Prefecture show that pupils developed their skills and understanding of competitive, cultural and attitudinal domains of Kendo as Budo through a tactical approach. They also expressed pleasure in this planning and execution of their own learning goals. I conclude, then, that the tactical approach to the teaching of Kendo can be incorporated into the PE curriculum without compromising the essential philosophy of Kendo as Budo

    Multifunctional nanoparticles as a tissue adhesive and an injectable marker for image-guided procedures

    Tissue adhesives have emerged as an alternative to sutures and staples for wound closure and reconnection of injured tissues after surgery or trauma. Owing to their convenience and effectiveness, these adhesives have received growing attention particularly in minimally invasive procedures. For safe and accurate applications, tissue adhesives should be detectable via clinical imaging modalities and be highly biocompatible for intracorporeal procedures. However, few adhesives meet all these requirements. Herein, we show that biocompatible tantalum oxide/silica core/shell nanoparticles (TSNs) exhibit not only high contrast effects for real-time imaging but also strong adhesive properties. Furthermore, the biocompatible TSNs cause much less cellular toxicity and less inflammation than a clinically used, imageable tissue adhesive (that is, a mixture of cyanoacrylate and Lipiodol). Because of their multifunctional imaging and adhesive property, the TSNs are successfully applied as a hemostatic adhesive for minimally invasive procedures and as an immobilized marker for image-guided procedures. © The Author(s) 20174
