    　View Summary

    <p>It has been about 10 years since the University Research Administrators (URAs) were introduced into the academic organizations in Japan. Through the development programs of URAs (2011-2012) by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Japan (MEXT) and its follow-ups, many URAs are engaging in research promotion activities and are acknowledged as specialists in the field of research management. Prior to the introduction of URAs, many other specialists, such as academy-industry coordinators or license associates, had committed to the research promotion activities in the universities. For the development and establishment of specialists for academy-industry collaboration, MEXT carried out some development programs (2008-2012). At present, national universities are required to meet social demands and to decide their manner of administration. Such universities have developed the specialists for research promotions based on the results or models shown by previous programs. In the feature articles, URAs belonging to three national regional universities, Kagoshima University, Saga University and Fukui University, introduce their activities on academy-industry collaboration and research promotion.</p>

  • A feasibility study on essential oil extraction from vetiver planted as green belts

    　View Summary

    <p>In Okinawa Prefecture, Japan, red soil erosion from the upland fields is one of the main causes of marine pollution. Vetiver (<i>Vetiveria zizanioides</i>) has been planted as a green belt in wide areas in the Okinawa Prefecture to prevent soil erosion. In the present study, the researchers investigated the feasibility of extracting essential oil from vetiver in comparison with commercial essential oil by examining the differences in oil extraction rate and fluctuation, in terms of the presence/absence of its season-dependent oil components. In this study, the two commercial essential oils from Indonesia and Sri Lanka that were used for comparison differed in composition. The major component of the essential oil extracted from vetiver in the present study was alcohol, including khusimol and vetiselinol, which was similar to the commercial essential oil from Indonesia. The oil extraction rate (per dry weight) in early summer was 0.62%, but it was 0.34% in early winter. On another note, there was almost no fluctuation in the essential oil components collected in each period. This finding suggested that it is easy to stabilize the quality when the essential oil will be produced commercially. Combining the agriculture and aroma industries via the production and marketing of essential oil from green belt vegetation will help prevent soil erosion and lessen marine pollution in the future.</p>

    　View Summary

    <p>Mango is a popular seasonal fruit in summer, and mango production in the Okinawa prefecture is the largest in Japan. However, the growth process of mangoes is susceptible to changes in sunshine, temperature, and other factors. In this research, to produce mangoes without being influenced by the natural environment, we will develop a production system that can positively realize environmental measurement and control by using an IoT sensing system. Specifically, we introduced local CO<sub>2</sub> application technology and a supplemental LED lighting system with the aim of activating photosynthesis by mango trees.</p>
