Abstract:
A measuring method and apparatus in which a measurable object (23) is irradiated with acoustic waves to measure a change in property value of charged particles in the object from electromagnetic waves induced thereby. A part (2) of the measurable object irradiated with an acoustic focused beam (1) is in a charge distribution state in which positive charged particles (3) are greater in number in the part (2) where electromagnetic waves induced by positive charged particles (3) are not canceled by those induced by negative charged particles (4) and where net electromagnetic waves (6) are induced. Since a change in concentration of positive charged particles (3) and/or negative charged particles (4) changes the intensity of electromagnetic waves (6), it is possible to know such a change in concentration of the charged particles from a change in intensity of electromagnetic waves (6).
Abstract:
As means for solving the problem of providing a nucleic acid conjugate that does not undergo degradation at a DNA-RNA bonding site even in vivo, provided is a nucleic acid conjugate comprising a single-stranded DNA and a double-stranded RNA, wherein the 3' position of the 3'-terminal deoxyribonucleotide residue of the single-stranded DNA is bound to the 5' position of the 5'-terminal ribonucleotide residue of one of the ribonucleotide strands of the double-stranded RNA, and the hydroxyl group at the 2' position of the 5'-terminal nucleotide of the ribonucleotide strand, which is bound to the single-stranded DNA, is substituted with an alkoxy group or a halogen atom, and/or the phosphate diester group between the 3' position of the first ribonucleotide bound to the single-stranded DNA and the 5' position of the adjacent ribonucleotide is substituted with any of phosphorothioate group, dithiophosphate diester group and trithiophosphate diester group.
Abstract:
A motion guide display device includes a head-mountable image display device (11) that displays an image, a camera (13) that takes a self image from a first person perspective, an image display processing unit (212) that displays a reference image from a first person perspective as a following target and the self image at the display unit alternately in a time-dividing manner under the condition generating a blending feeling, and a display mode setting unit (213) that lets the image display processing unit (212) operate within the range of cycles (frequencies) and self-other ratios as the condition generating a blending feeling. This can bring the blending feeling with the reference image, and can support the continuation of spontaneous following motion.
Abstract:
A catalyst for thermochemical fuel production, which is formed from a perovskite oxide and by which fuel can be produced thermochemically, and thermochemical fuel production are provided. The catalyst for thermochemical fuel production is a catalyst for thermochemical fuel production, which is used for producing the fuel from thermal energy by using a two-step thermochemical cycle of a first temperature and a second temperature that is equal to or lower than the first temperature, wherein the catalyst is formed from a perovskite oxide having a compositional formula of AXO 3±δ (provided that, 0≤δ≤1). Here, A represents one or more of a rare-earth element (excluding Ce), an alkaline earth metal element, and an alkali metal element, X represents one or more of a transition metal element and a metalloid element, and O represents oxygen.
