摘要:
A method for detecting infestation of grain-damaging insects in grain stored in a storage facility. This method comprises a first step of placing an insect trapping device that traps grain-damaging insects in the storage facility and leaving the device in the storage facility for a predetermined length of time, and a second step of detecting infestation of grain-damaging insects in the grain on the basis of how many grain-damaging insects have been trapped in the insect trapping device after the first step. The insect trapping device has a base that is impermeable to water or oil, a porous substrate that is disposed on one side of the base and is capable of holding water or oil, and water or oil held in the porous substrate.

A process for efficiently and conveniently obtaining barley malt oil which is rich in vegetable ceramide-associated substances having a high safety and originating in plants with a favorable image as a material; and barley malt oil obtained by this process which is rich in the vegetable ceramide-associated substances having a high safety. The above production process is characterized by involving the step of immersing beer-cake obtained in the process of the production of beer in an organic polar solvent; the step of separating the extract from the immersion solution; and the step of concentrating the extract. The above barley malt oil is obtained by immersing beer-cake obtained in the process of the production of beer in an organic polar solvent; separating the extract from the immersion solution; and then concentrating the extract.

By using a medium containing an ingredient for activating brewer's yeast, a brewer's yeast cell body is immersed in the medium in the presence of an added inorganic salt; and the immersion is stirred at a predetermined temperature to concurrently carry out an aerobic activation treatment, resulting in the formation of a brewer's yeast cell body containing a high ribonucleic acid content comprising 10% by weight or more of ribonucleic acid based on the weight of the cell body.
摘要:
A sample preparation apparatus for preparing a sample to be used for detecting specimens such as microorganisms isolated on a filter so as to enumerate microorganisms in the sample has a turntable on which multiple sample bases are formed, a filter insertion unit, an extractant spray apparatus, a luminescent reagent spray apparatus and a filter removal unit, disposed in order along a periphery of the turntable in a direction of rotation of the turntable. By eliminating the need to move filters between processing operations as well as any special skill required in the spraying of the extractant and reagent, the sample preparation apparatus can provide accurate microorganism counts quickly and efficiently.

The present invention allows a rapid and easy transformation of coordinates for position designation between first and second observation apparatus having means for designating positions in a sample. The present invention includes the steps of setting at least three observation points in random positions in the sample, setting the sample marked for determining the relative positions of the sample and a sample base on the first and second observation apparatus so as to read the coordinates of the above-mentioned observation points, and determining coordinate transformation formulas by calculating a, b, c, and d of below-described formulas (1) by letting one of the above-mentioned three observation points serve as temporary origins, correcting the coordinates of the other two based on the above-mentioned temporary origins, and substituting the corrected coordinates into the formulas (1). Xn = aXn + bYn, yn = cXn + dYn
摘要:
An apparatus for inspecting a container for the leakage of a liquid therefrom, wherein a positioning member (28) is mounted on a portion to be inspected of an upper surface of a mouth (1a) of a container (1) transferred on a conveyor (2) to align axes (0, 0') with each other, pure water (w) being supplied to the interior of the positioning member after a probe (27) has been inserted, to measure the electric conductivity of the water to check as to whether a liquid in the container leaks from its mouth or not, the apparatus being provided with a movable guide bar on one side of the conveyor (2), by which the container (1) holding a liquid sealed therein is conveyed, in such a manner that a transfer width (L) can be regulated to larger and smaller levels, the axis (0') of the probe (27) of a leakage inspection unit (20) on a center line (I) being aligned substantially to prevent the occurrence of projection and recess on and in the container, and carry out the leakage inspection of the liquid with a high accuracy by suitably effecting the feeding of water into a recess (5) and the insertion of the probe.
