title: N-Octyl bicycloheptene dicarboximide

abstract: N-Octyl bicycloheptene dicarboximide is an ingredient in some common pesticides. It has no intrinsic pesticidal qualities itself, but rather is a synergist enhancing the potency of pyrethroid ingredients. It is used in a variety of household and veterinary products. MGK 264 is starting to appear on pesticide monitoring lists by states legalizing and mandating pesticide monitoring in medical and recreational cannabis. This is most likely due to the very large amounts of pyrethroids that are used in cannabis monitoring lists and the likelihood of MGK 264 usage to maximize yield.

title: N-Octyl β-D-thioglucopyranoside

abstract: n-Octyl β-d-thioglucopyranoside is a mild nonionic detergent that is used for cell lysis or to solubilise membrane proteins without denaturing them. This is particularly of use in order to crystallise them or to reconstitute them into lipid bilayers. It has a critical micelle concentration of 9 mM. It is an analog of the commonly used detergent octyl glucoside, the presence of the thioether linkage making it resistant to degradation by beta-glucosidase enzymes.

# N-Octyl β-D-thioglucopyranoside

***n*-Octyl β-d-thioglucopyranoside** (**octylthioglucoside**, **OTG**) is a mild nonionic detergent that is used for cell lysis or to solubilise membrane proteins without denaturing them. This is particularly of use in order to crystallise them or to reconstitute them into lipid bilayers. It has a critical micelle concentration of 9 mM.

It is an analog of the commonly used detergent octyl glucoside, the presence of the thioether linkage making it resistant to degradation by beta-glucosidase enzymes.

## Preparation

N-alkyl thioglycosides of the *n*-octyl-β-d-thioglucopyranoside type are not naturally occurring. However, mustard oil glycosides are common natural S-glycosides.

The synthesis of *n*-octyl-β-d-thioglucopyranoside starts from D-glucose (I) which is prepared with acetic anhydride and concentrated sulfuric acid to give α-d-glucopyranose pentaacetate (pentaacetylglucose) (II). Pentaacetylglucose is reacted with hydrogen bromide to give 2,3,4,6-tetra-*O*-acetyl-α-d-glucopyranosyl bromide (acetobromo glucose) (III) which yields with thiourea in acetone almost quantitatively the isothiuronium salt 2,3,4,6-tetra-*O*-acetyl-β-d-glucopyranosyl-1-isothiuronium bromide (IV).

The nucleophilic thiolate anion formed after neutralization and reduction with sodium sulfite to the thiol in the alkaline reacts again almost quantitatively with 1-bromoctane to *n*-octyl-2,3,4,6-tetra-*O*-acetyl-1-thio-β-d-glucopyranoside (peracetylated octylthioglucoside) (V). From V, the target product n-octyl-1-thio-β-d-glucopyranoside (VI) can be obtained in an overall yield of about 80% via the quantitatively proceeding alkaline deacetylation by means of sodium hydroxide in methanol.

In the trichloroacetimidate method of Richard R. Schmidt, the peracetylated *O*-(α-d-glucopyranyl) trichloroacetimidate forms with 1-octanethiol via boron trifluoride-etherate catalysis upon inversion exclusively *n*-octyl-1-thio-β-d-glucopyranoside (after deacetylation), while the perbenzylated *O*-(α-d-glucopyranyl) trichloroacetimidate is converted upon retention to the *n*-octyl-1-thio-α-d-glucopyranoside (after debenzylation).

The reaction of d-glucose with 1-octanethiol and Olah's reagent (70% hydrogen fluoride HF in pyridine) produces an anomeric mixture of *n*-octyl-1-thio-α,β-d-glucopyranoside in 95% yield which contains 44% α-anomeres and 56% β-anomers.

The pure α-octylthioglucoside is accessible by reaction of pentacetyl-β-d-glucose (from d-glucose, acetic anhydride and sodium acetate) in organic solvents at elevated temperatures with 1-octanethiol and boron trifluoride etherate and subsequent deacetylation.

## Properties

*n*-octyl-β-d-1-thioglucopyranoside is a colorless, odorless, hygroscopic, crystalline solid which readily dissolves in water and short-chain alcohols. Compared with the *O*-glucoside *n*-octyl-β-d-glucopyranoside, which has already been introduced earlier as detergent for biochemical applications, the analogous *S*-glucoside OTG appears to be particularly suitable due to its higher stability, especially against degradation by β-glucosidases.

| characteristics | Critical micelle concentration | Solubilization ability | dialysability | Chem. Stability | Β-glucosidase stability | Transparency at 280 nm | Denaturation tendency | Chem. analytics |

| *n*-Octyl-β-d-gluco-pyranosid | 23-25 mM + | ++ | ++ | (-) |  | + | + | + |  |

++ very good + good (+) ok (-) poor – very poor

The cost advantage for octylthioglucoside stated in publications from the 1980s is evidently no longer given because of the recently developed, efficient enzymatic synthesis pathways for O-octylglucoside (directly from D-glucose, 1-octanol by means of β-glucosidase).

The α-anomeric octylthioglucoside exhibits liquid crystalline properties forming a smectic phase A.

## Application

Nonionic detergents solubilize membrane proteins gently and (largely) preserving their physiological function by interaction with the hydrophobic membrane regions embedded in the lipid bilayers of cell membranes. Above the so-called critical micelle concentration CMC \[OTG: 9 mM, or 0.2772% (w/v)\], mixed micelles of membrane proteins and surfactant molecules are formed, with OTG concentrations of 1.1-1.2% (w/v) for the solubilization of membrane proteins from E. coli. No denaturation of the membrane proteins was found after solubilization with octylthioglucoside.

For the analysis of the biological activity of membrane proteins, it is often necessary to reconstitute the proteins into the lipid bilayers of liposomes. For this, the solution of the solubilized protein is subject to dialysis or ion exchange chromatography in the presence of phospholipids or membrane lipid mixtures to remove the surfactant. For example, 95% of the OTG can be removed from a 43 mM surfactant solution under standard conditions within 6 hours.

Octylthioglucoside (15 mM) is clearly superior to its O-analog octyl glucoside (OT) in the solubilization and stabilization against thermal and light-induced denaturation of the light-driven proton pump Bacteriorhodopsin from the biomembranes of halobacteria.

title: NCSA HTTPd

abstract: NCSA HTTPd is an early, now discontinued, web server originally developed at the NCSA at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign by Robert McCool and others. First released in 1993, it was among the earliest web servers developed, following Tim Berners-Lee's CERN httpd, Tony Sanders' Plexus server, and some others. It was for some time the natural counterpart to the Mosaic web browser in the client–server World Wide Web. It also introduced the Common Gateway Interface, allowing for the creation of dynamic websites. After Robert McCool left NCSA in mid-1994, the development of NCSA HTTPd slowed greatly. An independent effort, the Apache project, took the codebase and continued; meanwhile, NCSA released one more version (1.5), then ceased development. In August 1995, NCSA HTTPd powered most of all web servers on the Internet; nearly all of them quickly switched over to Apache. By April 1996, Apache passed NCSA HTTPd as the No. 1 server on the Internet, and retained that position until mid-to-late 2016.

title: Mōkau River

abstract: The Mōkau River is located in the North Island of New Zealand. The river rises as a spring in the Pureora Forest, south of Te Kūiti, on the slopes of the Rangitoto Range. After briefly following a north-westward course, it turns south-westwards and flows for 158 kilometres (98 mi) through the Waitomo District of the King Country. It enters the North Taranaki Bight at its mouth at the town of Mōkau. Although the rivermouth is enclosed by a large sandbar, with a high tide, larger vessels can pass safely and enter the river, which is navigable for 37 kilometres (23 mi) upstream. In the late 19th century and early 20th century, the banks of the river were host to a thriving industry of logging and coal-mining. However, the risks and costs of transporting goods down the Mōkau eventually ended such enterprise. Today the river is a popular whitebaiting and kayaking location.

# Mōkonami Sakae

**Mōkonami Sakae** (born 5 April 1984 as **Ganbold Bazarsad**) is a former sumo wrestler from Mongolia. After making his professional sumo debut in March 2001, he had his top *makuuchi* division debut 8 years later in July 2009. His highest rank was *maegashira* 6. He has acquired Japanese citizenship. In April 2011 he was ordered to retire by the Japan Sumo Association after an investigation found him guilty of match-fixing.

## Early life and sumo background

Ganbold Bazarsad was born and raised in Ulan Bator. It has been reported that he lived in the same apartment complex as later *makuuchi* contemporary Shōtenrō, though they never met in person. During his school years, he was focused on basketball and only participated in Mongolian wrestling occasionally as recreation. But after seeing the well-known Mongolian sumo wrestler Kyokutenhō in action, he was inspired to try out sumo. He came to Japan in 2000 with an invitation to try out for Tatsunami stable through a connection with Kyokutenhō's contemporary Kyokushūzan, and entered sumo in March, 2001, the same tournament as the later Mongolian *yokozuna* Hakuhō.

## Career

The ring name he took combined "Mōko" (猛虎, "fierce tiger", which is homophonous with the old Sino-Japanese name for Mongolia, 蒙古) with the "nami" of Tatsunami stable. There is a now a movement among Mongolians residing in Japan to discontinue using the country name *Mōko* as they consider the name derogatory. This was acknowledged by Mōkonami, but he continued using this *shikona* for the remainder of his career.

Mōkonami had trouble gaining weight at first and struggled in the ranks of the *sandanme* fourth division. As his weight finally began to rise, however, his sumo improved, and he was promoted to the third division, *makushita* in January 2005. He proceeded to win a majority of bouts in five consecutive tournaments, and with a 5–2 record in his last *makushita* tournament, he finally became a *sekitori* by gaining promotion to *jūryō* in January 2006. Being a fan of the Hanshin Tigers, and recognizing that his coach is an old friend of the well-known Tiger player Katsuhito Yamada (as well as the fact that the second Chinese character in his ring name is "tiger") Mōkonami commemorated his *jūryō* debut with a new *keshō-mawashi*, approved by the Tigers' owners, that closely resembled the Tigers' logo.

Mōkonami proceeded to get a majority of wins in his first three tournaments after his *jūryō* debut. His performance in the March 2006 tournament would have granted him entry into the top division in the following May tournament had not Jūmonji, the *maegashira* #9 wrestler, narrowly managed to avoid relegation to *jūryō* by achieving a fourth win on the last day of the tournament. Perhaps succumbing to the pressure, Mōkonami only managed a 5–10 record at the *jūryō* top slot that he had earned for the May tournament. His fall continued, as he chalked up losing tournaments in for the remainder of 2006. He dropped back to *makushita* in 2007. Though he managed a 5–2 record in the January tournament at *makushita* #4, the successful records of a number of other wrestlers near his rank kept him from *jūryō* promotion in the following tournament. His 4-3 performance in the March tournament of 2007 was enough to grant him entry into *jūryō* again. After bouncing between winning and losing tournaments through the rest of 2007 and most of 2008 he managed to find some traction, and in four consecutive tournaments from November 2008 tournament to May 2009, he won a majority of his bouts. His May 2009 rank, again at the top spot of *jūryō* was almost a mirror image of his previous performance at this rank, as he pulled off a dominating 11–4 win which would catapult him into his top *makuuchi* division debut at the comparatively high rank of *maegashira* #7.

Possibly challenged by debuting at such a high rank, Mōkonami's first two tournaments in the top division were losing performances. However, in the November 2009 tournament, he finally achieved a positive record of 9–6 at the 13th *maegashira* slot, staving off any fears of demotion from *makuuchi*. After clinching his *kachi-koshi* on the final day of the July 2010 tournament, he reached a new highest rank of *maegashira* 6 in September. He scored only five wins there, but managed a majority of wins in what was to be his final tournament in January 2011.

## Retirement from sumo

After an investigation by the Sumo Association into allegations of bout-rigging prompted by the discovery of text-messages on a mobile phone belonging to former *maegashira* Kasuganishiki, Mōkonami was one of 23 wrestlers and coaches found guilty of involvement. He was ordered to retire, and submitted his letter of resignation on April 4, 2011.

## Fighting style

Mōkonami's favourite techniques as listed by the Sumo Association were *hidari-yotsu* (a right hand outside, left hand inside grip on the opponent's *mawashi*), *yori* (force out) and *tsuppari* (a series of rapid thrusts to the chest). After *yori-kiri*, his next most frequently used *kimarite* were *uwatenage* (overarm throw) and *oshi-dashi* (push out).

## Personal life

On December 21, 2009, it was announced that Mōkonami had been granted Japanese citizenship. This allowed his stable to take on another Mongolian wrestler, Ryūonami, bypassing the Japan Sumo Association's limit of one foreign wrestler per stable, although this loophole has since been closed. Mōkonami's legal name is now Sakae Ishikawa.

Mōkonami is married, with a daughter born in 2006.

# Vīts Rimkus

**Vīts Rimkus** (born 21 June 1973) is a Latvian former professional footballer who played as a striker.

## Club career

Born in Riga, Vīts Rimkus started his career in 1993 with Pārdaugava Rīga, scoring twice in 14 league appearances. After a promising start youngster was transferred to DAG Rīga in 1994. He played 15 league games for the team and scored three goals that season. He kept changing clubs and the next season was spent with another club from Riga, Amstrig Rīga. The 1995 season turned out to be a loud start of his career as he managed to net eight times in 26 matches.

Several offers to go abroad appeared and the player chose to move to Switzerland, signing a contract with FC Winterthur. Scoring eight goals in ten matches that season, he moved to Germany in 1996, signing for 1. FC Nürnberg. Despite the loud boom in Switzerland, Rimkus could not prove himself in Nürnberg, so he was given away to another German club, Erzgebirge Aue. Ten matches with no goals made him return to Latvia then.

In 1998, he was signed by Skonto Riga. After a really successful season the player was given away to FK Valmiera, where he played for two years, showing great performance. In 2001 FK Ventspils signed Rimkus for free and had him playing there until 2004. Scoring 70 goals in 100 matches, he attracted attention from many Russian clubs and was signed by FC Rostov in 2005. Staying goalless in nine games he was soon released and he returned to FK Ventspils. In the next five seasons, as a player of FK Ventspils, Rimkus scored 66 league goals in 109 matches. In 2009, he left the club after rumors about betting on his own team results, but nothing was proved in the end, and later it turned out to be a serious conflict with the board of the club.

In 2010 Rimkus moved to Lithuania, signing a one-year contract with FK Ekranas. He became the highest scorer of the team that season with 15 goals in 26 matches respectively, just one goal behind the top scorer of the league Povilas Lukšys. After the season Rimkus moved to Cyprus, signing a half-season contract with the Cypriot Fourth Division club Finikas Ayias Marinas Chrysochous. In July 2011 he returned to Latvia and signed a contract with the Latvian Higher League newcomers FC Jūrmala. Despite joining in mid-season, with ten goals in 18 games he became the team's highest scorer in the league. In March 2012 Rimkus was signed by the Latvian Higher League newcomers Spartaks Jūrmala, but after just playing one match he was released.

In January 2013 Rimkus joined the Latvian First League club FB Gulbene. With 20 goals in 23 matches during the 2013 season Rimkus became his club's second best top scorer. Despite Rimkus scoring a goal in the promotion/relegation play-offs, his team lost to FS METTA/Latvijas Universitāte 5–2 on aggregate and failed to secure a place in the Latvian Higher League for the 2014 season. Prior to the 2014 Latvian First League season Rimlus moved to AFA Olaine. Aged 40, he scored four goals in the first three league appearances for the club, but then left the team turning to playing indoor football.

Before the start of the 2016 Latvian First League season Rimkus returned to association football at the age of 42, joining Skonto FC. Throughout the season Rimkus participated in 19 league matches, scoring 13 goals.

## International career

Rimkus has played 73 international matches and scored 11 goals for the Latvia national team. He debuted in 1995, and played at Euro 2004.

## Personal life

Rimkus is of Lithuanian descent.

# WACH

**WACH** (channel 57) is a television station in Columbia, South Carolina, United States, affiliated with the Fox network. Owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group, the station maintains studios on Pickens Street in downtown Columbia, and its transmitter is located on Rush Road (southeast of I-20), in rural southwestern Kershaw County.

## History

### WCCT-TV

After several false starts dating back to 1980, the station first signed on the air on September 1, 1981, as WCCT-TV (for Carolina Christian Television), Columbia's first independent station. It was founded by Carolina Christian Broadcasting, which also owned WGGS-TV (channel 16) in Greenville.

The station's original studios were located on Sunset Boulevard (US 378) in West Columbia. Initially, it ran religious programming for most of the broadcast day, such as *The 700 Club* and *The PTL Club*, and televangelist programs from Richard Roberts and Jimmy Swaggart. It also carried WGGS' locally produced Christian program, *Niteline*. WCCT eventually began producing its own local version of the show. The rest of the day was taken up by secular syndicated programming, including cartoons, classic sitcoms, westerns, and hunting and sports programs. However, its programming policy was very conservative so as not to offend the sensibilities of its mostly fundamentalist and Pentecostal viewership. Notably, it refused to run any programming that contained profanity, violence or sexual content.

### As a Fox affiliate

On June 11, 1988, the station was sold to FCVS Communications. On the day FCVS closed on its purchase of channel 57, it changed the call letters to WACH (the WCCT-TV calls are presently used by a CW-affiliated station in Waterbury, Connecticut, serving the HartfordNew Haven market) and relaunched it as the market's Fox affiliate, branding as "WACH-TV 57". For the first two years of Fox's existence, Columbia residents were only able to see the network's programming via its Washington, D.C., owned-and-operated station WTTG, which had been available on area cable systems for many years. That station continued to be available on Columbia's two major cable providers, Wometco and TCI, for several years afterward.

FCVS significantly upgraded the station's programming, adding somewhat racier programming to the schedule. At first, WACH kept Christian-oriented religious programming on weekdays from 9 a.m. to noon and from midnight to 2 a.m. per an agreement with Carolina Christian Broadcasting. It also agreed to continue producing and airing *Niteline* for an hour a day for five years. The program was dropped from the schedule by 1993, along with most of the religious programs. WACH eventually changed its branding to "WACH Fox 57" in the 1990s.

### Ownership changes

FCVS eventually bought two other stations, WKCH-TV (now WTNZ) in Knoxville, Tennessee, and WEVU-TV (now WZVN-TV) in Naples, Florida. FCVS sold its entire television division to Ellis Communications in 1993. Ellis merged with AFLAC to form Raycom Media in 1996. Raycom merged with The Liberty Corporation, owner of NBC affiliate WIS (channel 10), in 2005.

Raycom could not keep both stations because the Federal Communications Commission's duopoly rules at the time prohibited the common ownership of two of the four highest-rated television stations in a single market. Additionally, Columbia has only eight full-power stations, too few to permit a duopoly in any case. The FCC requires a market to have eight unique station owners once a duopoly is formed. Ultimately, Raycom opted to keep long-dominant WIS and put WACH on the market. On March 27, 2006, Raycom announced it would sell WACH and 11 other stations to Barrington Broadcasting. The transaction was completed on August 11, 2006.

On February 28, 2013, Barrington Broadcasting announced it would merge with the Sinclair Broadcast Group in a $370 million deal. The sale was completed on November 25.

## News operation

WACH presently broadcasts 11 hours of locally produced newscasts each week (with two hours each weekday and a half-hour each on Saturdays and Sundays); WACH is one of the largest Fox affiliates in the country whose prime time newscast does not air for one hour seven days a week (the Saturday and Sunday editions currently run for 30 minutes).

In 1996, NBC affiliate WIS entered into a news share agreement to produce a prime time newscast at 10 p.m. for WACH, the first such prime time newscast in the Columbia market and one of the first in South Carolina. For many years, it was one of the highest-rated prime time newscasts in the nation. Under Barrington Broadcasting ownership, the station terminated its news agreement with WIS and established its own in-house news department at its facilities on Pickens Street; WACH assumed production responsibilities for the prime time newscast on March 4, 2007. One month later on April 23, 2007, WACH debuted a three-hour weekday morning newscast from 6 to 9 a.m. titled *WACH Fox News Good Day* (which was renamed *Good Day Columbia* in April 2010). In March 2007, longtime 10 p.m. co-anchor and managing editor Mike Woolfolk was inducted into the Hall of Fame by Region III of the National Association of Black Journalists.

On September 28, 2009, WACH became the first television station in the Columbia market to begin broadcasting its local newscasts in 16:9 widescreen standard definition, alongside the introduction of a new graphics package. Video from within the main studio, field cameras and other station camera feeds are upconverted to a 16:9 widescreen format in the control room. On November 9, 2009, the station debuted a half-hour early evening newscast at 7:30 p.m. weeknights called the *WACH Fox Report*, which maintained an entertainment-focused format.

In April 2010, WACH introduced a new set and overhauled the graphics for its newscasts; former anchor Arielle Riposta also returned to the station as weeknight co-anchor of the 10 p.m. newscast. Woolfolk left WACH in February 2010, with Darryl Hood replacing him as co-anchor of the 10 p.m. newscast. In the summer of 2010, *Good Day Columbia* expanded to four hours with the addition of one hour to the broadcast from 5 to 6 a.m. The *WACH Fox Report* was concurrently moved to 6:30 p.m. and became a more traditional newscast helmed by 10 p.m. anchors Darryl Hood and Katie Williams. On July 7, 2011, the station became the fourth and last television station in the Columbia market (and the first Barrington-owned station) to begin broadcasting its local newscasts in high definition; a new graphics package was phased in over within days of the upgrade. On September 19, 2011, WACH canceled its 6:30 p.m. newscast, replacing it with syndicated programming. Sinclair's graphics were fully implemented throughout all of WACH's newscasts in October 2015, providing a unified brand and music to the station since the broadcasting group's acquisition.

On March 5, 2018, WACH debuted a half-hour 5 p.m. newscast titled *Fastcast @ 5*, anchored by former WYFF weekend morning anchor Myra Ruiz. This newscast competes with the longer-established hour-long newscasts on WIS and WLTX.

On April 3, 2023, WACH replaced *Good Day Columbia* with a reairing of the 10 p.m. newscast followed by *The National Desk*, Sinclair's national news program. While local inserts are prepared for the national broadcast, the station no longer has a live morning news program. The station retained the 5 and 10 p.m. newscasts but made some personnel changes resulting in layoffs.

# WACM (AM)

**WACM** (1270 kHz) is an AM radio station licensed to serve Springfield, Massachusetts, United States. The station is owned by John Fuller, through licensee Red Wolf Broadcasting Corporation. It airs an rhythmic contemporary music format. WACM's programming is also simulcasted on W261DD, a translator station broadcasting on 100.1 FM.

## History

The station was assigned the WSPR call letters by the Federal Communications Commission in 1936. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, the station had a Top 40 format. In later decades, the station had a talk/news approach before shifting to a Spanish tropical format.

On April 12, 2016, it changed its call sign to the current WACM. On May 1, 2016, WACM changed its format from Spanish tropical (as "Bomba 1270") to oldies, branded as "Kool Radio AM" and simulcast from WSKP.

On December 31, 2023, Full Power Radio announced the station and translator would flip to a rhythmic contemporary hit radio format branded as "Jammin 100.1" the following day. Prior to this change, the nearest contemporary hit radio and rhythmic CHR stations to Springfield were in Hartford, Connecticut. The format and "Jammin" branding is shared with a sister station near Norwich, WWRX; both stations also feature the same on-air hosts.

# Mao Arai

**Mao Arai** (Japanese: 新井 万央, Hepburn: *Arai Mao*, born 23 May 2003) is a Japanese judoka. She won a gold medal in the mixed team event at the 2024 World Judo Championships held in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. She is also a gold and bronze medalist from the 2024 Asian Championships.

## Judo career

### Early career

Arai began practicing judo at the age of 10 at the Igarashi Dojo. In her third year at Higashimatsuyama Kita Junior High School, he placed second in the over 70 kg class at the National Junior High School Judo Tournament. She then went on to Shukugawa High School, where in her first year, she lost in the third round of the over 78 kg class in the individual competition at the Inter-High School Championships, but placed second in the team competition. She then transferred to Saitama Sakae High School, where in her third year, she placed third in the Inter-High School team competition and won the individual competition with all ippon wins. She placed third in the All Japan Junior Championships. In 2022, she went on to Nippon Sport Science University.

### 2022-2023

In her first year, Arai faced Hilal Öztürk of Turkey in the final of the 2022 World Junior Championships, where she scored a waza-ari with an uchi-mata and then pinned her down, initially winning with a combination technique, but the ippon was revoked for grabbing below the belt and throwing her. Öztürk later won by ippon with an ouchigari to take the championship. In the team final, Arai defeated Öztürk with an arm lock to secure the team's victory against Turkey. In the 2022 All Japan Junior Championships, she defeated Miki Mukunoki, a first-year student at International Pacific University, who had placed third in the world junior division, to win the championship.

In the 2023 Belgian International, she defeated Mukunoki in the junior division final to win, but lost to the latter in the senior division final the following day and placed second. In her second year, she placed third in the weight class semi-finals, losing to Hikaru Kodama of SBC Shonan Beauty Clinic with an ouchigari. In the delayed 2021 World University Games, she lost her first match by disqualification to Agatha Martins Silva of Brazil. Although she won the team match, which was a best-of-three match, she did not have a chance to play in any matches from the first match to the final, as the player before her had already won. At the 2023 All Japan Junior Championships, she finished in second after losing to Mukunoki by waza-ari in the final. At the 2023 World Junior Championships, she won by disqualification against Mukunoki in the final, achieving her second consecutive victory in this tournament. In the team competition, she faced Celia Cancan of France in the final, and although she was first down by waza-ari, she came back to win with a kesagatatame to secure the team's victory. At the 2023 Grand Slam Tokyo, she defeated Israel's Raz Hershko by kuzure kesagatatame in the semifinals, and Léa Fontaine of France by kuzure kamishiho-gatame in the final to win the championship.

### 2024-

At the 2024 Grand Slam Paris, Arai lost to Fontaine in the quarterfinals, then lost to Hershko by disqualification in the third-place deciding match, placing fifth. As a third-year student, she placed second in her weight class final, losing by waza-ari to Komatsu's Wakaharu Tomita. However, due to her recent achievements, she was selected to represent Japan at the 2024 World Championships. At the Asian Championships, Arai lost by disqualification to Mongolia's Amarsaikhany Adiyaasüren in the quarterfinals, but won the repechage round to finish third. In the team competition, she contributed to her team's victory by defeating Amarsaikhany by waza-ari in the final against Mongolia. At the 2024 World Championships in May, Arai lost by waza-ari to China's Xu Shiyan in the third round. Later in the championships, she won the semifinals against Uzbekistan, but her team won the championship before she had a chance to play in the final against France.
