Researchers, including Yuta Suzuki, Assistant Professor at the Harris Science Research Institute, have developed a novel method for synthesizing acetylene from carbon dioxide without using fossil fuels.
Conventional acetylene synthesis methods rely on fossil fuels. A new process is required for its sustainable synthesis to reduce its carbon footprint. In a new study, researchers from Doshisha University and Daikin Industries Ltd developed a novel method for synthesizing acetylene from carbon dioxide via calcium carbide without using fossil fuels. This innovative process can contribute to realizing a sustainable acetylene-based industry.

Under the new academic calendar introduced in 2024, two classes are conducted on-demand as part of diverse learning practices that effectively utilize ICT.One of the two on-demand classes was delivered during the "DO Week". The other one is usually provided as the final class of the Spring Semester, after all the face-to-face classes have completed.By taking this final on-demand class of the Spring Semester, you can solidify your understanding of the course content and verify that you have acquired the expected skills from the course. Please engage with the on-demand classes just as you would work on the face-to-face classes and make sure to complete them. [If you do not view the on-demand classes, you may be considered to be absent.]
Under the new academic calendar, final exams end in July, and the summer vacation starts earlier than the previous academic calendar. Please make efficient use of this extended summer break for self-directed learning and spend your time effectively.*The second on-demand delivery is basically conducted via e-class, but whether or not, when, how it is delivered, and whether or not assignments are made will vary depending on the courses and classes. Some courses may have already provided the second on-demand delivery according to the syllabus schedule. Please follow the instructions given by the class instructor and view them accordingly. Be sure to refer to our website, Academic Calendar from 2024, for details on the academic calendar for 2024 and how to take on-demand classes through e-class. And, please check the syllabus for details on the class type and the schedule of study for each class.

A research team* from the National Institute for Basic Biology of Japan and Doshisha University used free-moving bats chasing moths as a realistic model of target tracking. They found that bats used the four key tactics and organized them effectively to track prey accurately. The team also proposed a possible operational rule enabling bats to exercise this strategy efficiently.
The ability to "target track" is essential for various activities and has improved in animals and machines through the evolution of life and technology. Because most sensing systems are inevitably subject to a certain degree of delay caused by information processing, many studies have addressed the challenge of overcoming this delay constraint for more accurate target tracking. Studying animals' sophisticated tracking behavior would bring a significant breakthrough in this fundamental problem.
