摘要:
An insect communication disturbing material comprises a covering material and a pheromone component to be included therein, wherein the included pheromone component exudes on the surface of the covering material in such a condition that it can be transferred and adhered to insect pests which contact with the insect communication disturbing material. The material is used in a method for disturbing insect communication which comprises attracting male adult insects to the above-described material, thereby effecting their contact with the insect communication disturbing material and adhesion of the pheromone component to the body of the male adults, and subsequently allowing the contacted males to be free without capturing them.

A termites trail-marking pheromone which is (3Z,6Z,8E)-dodecatrienol, and a composition which comprises (3Z,6Z,8E)-dodecatrienol as an essential component and another component which is a trail-marking pheromone-like substance, and a method of detecting termites by using this composition or (3Z,6Z,8E)-dodecatrienol.The trail-marking pheromone and composition are highly safe in that they have no residual toxicity, and they have a stable, long-term trail-marking effect for termites. This invention provides a simple and rapid method of detecting termites, and a simple and effective method of capturing termites.

This invention relates to the methods of preparing optically active epoxy alcohol which is caracterized by the steps of adding carboxylic anhydride to racemic epoxy alcohol (formula 1) in the presence of a hydrolase in an organic solvent, esterifying (-)-form of the epoxy alcohol preferentially to be epoxy ester (formula 2), separating optically active epoxy ester (formula 2) from optically active epoxy alcohol (formula 3) to yield optically active epoxy alcohol (formula 4), so that epoxy alcohol (formula 1) in high purity can be obtained easily and safely at ordinary temperature. ##STR1##
摘要:
A dictionary creation device including a blurred image generation unit which outputs a blurred image generated by performing a blurring process to a learning image together with a blur parameter indicating a blurring state of the blurred image, a patch pair generation unit which generates a restoration patch and a blurred patch as a patch pair that is composed of the patches located at the corresponding positions of the learning image and the blurred image, and a registration unit which associates the patch pair with a blur parameter corresponding to the blurred patch in the patch pair and registers them in a dictionary.
摘要:
For each pixel of an input image, a direction toward which variation in pixel value between the relevant pixel and its peripheral pixels is largest and an amount of the variation in pixel value are computed, where a direction unit vector that indicates the direction toward which the variation is largest and a variation vector that represents the amount of the largest variation in the pixel value are computed. For each pixel, a regularization strength is computed utilizing the direction unit vector, the variation vector, and a regularization strength computing formula so that the larger the amount of the variation in pixel value toward a direction indicated by the direction unit vector, the less the regularization strength. An optimization function is determined based on the input image and the regularization strength for each pixel thereof and assigns a value for each pixel, by which the determined optimization function has the minimum value, to the corresponding pixel of a restored image to be generated.
摘要:
An inside/outside determining unit determines whether a touch position of a contact body is located outside or inside an inside/outside determining target region defined with respect to a display position of an image object as a target region for inside/outside determination of the touch position of the contact body. The signal generating unit generates a signal indicating the operation performed with respect to the image object when it is determined that the touch position of the contact body is located outside the inside/outside determining target region.
摘要:
A difference region extracting section 122 extracts differential regions based on screen data of a previous screen stored in transmission screen data storage section 124 and a current screen stored in a screen data storage section 121. A priority determining section 123 calculates change data density indicating a degree of a change of pixel values for every differential region. For example, when a user operates an icon on the screen, the change data density of the differential region corresponding to the icon becomes larger than the change data density of the differential region corresponding to the background portion of a video image. An encoding section 125 writes screen code data of each differential region in a transmission buffer 141 in descending order of the change data density.
摘要:
An immunoassay method comprising bringing an immobilized phase comprising, at different positions on a water-absorbable base material, at least two first immunity substances capable of specifically binding with at least two kinds of assay target substances selected from the group consisting of verotoxin-producing Escherichia coli, verotoxin and human hemoglobin contained in a test sample, into contact with a test sample and a liquid containing labeled immunity substances each comprising a second immunity substance that is labeled with colored particles and capable of binding with said assay target substance, thereby to form an assay target substance-labeled immunity substance complex and to bind said complex with respective first immunity substances at the immobilized phase. The immunoassay method, the immunoassay device and the immunoassay kit of the present invention enable easy and simultaneous analysis of O157 (VTEC), VT and Hb in a test sample, by adsorption of the assay target substances on an immobilized phase and evaluation of the developed color.
