Abstract:
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method of evaluating whether or not a subject has a predisposition to obesity or an obesity-related condition or disease, a kit for conducting the method, an anti-obesity drug having an effect of preventing or treating obesity or an obesity-related condition or disease, a method of screening the anti-obesity drug, a non-human animal having a deficiency in the gene associated with obesity, and an adipose tissue or adipocyte of the animal.The method of evaluating a predisposition to obesity of the present invention is a method of evaluating whether or not a subject has a predisposition to obesity or an obesity-related condition or disease. The method includes the step of detecting a copy number variation (CNV) in intron 1 of SLC25A24 gene or a gene polymorphism having a linkage disequilibrium relationship with the CNV in a sample containing a human gene of the subject. If the CNV in intron 1 of the SLC25A24 gene is 0, the subject may be evaluated to have a predisposition to obesity or an obesity-related condition or disease.

Abstract:
A donor film 40 including an organic donor layer 42 and a transfer target substrate 12 including a lower electrode 7 are prepared. The organic donor layer 42 is thermally transferred to the top of the lower electrode 7 of the transfer target substrate 12 to form an organic layer 17 by placing the donor film 40 between the transfer target substrate 12 and a thermal head 38 and bringing the transfer target substrate 12 and the thermal head 38 into close contact with each other by magnetic attraction of a magnetic body 4, and then an upper electrode is formed on the organic layer 17, to obtain an organic EL element. This provides an organic EL element with excellent quality free from unevenness in the transfer of the organic donor layer from the donor film even when the transfer target substrate is large in size.

Abstract:
An organic EL device includes a substrate body, a plurality of organic functional layers arranged on the substrate body in a given pattern and a partition for partitioning the plural organic functional layers. The partition includes at least a first partition part with a substantially trapezoidal cross-section provided on the substrate body and a second partition part with a substantially trapezoidal cross-section provided on the first partition part. The partition is formed so that a lower base of the cross-section of the second partition part can be shorter than an upper base of the cross-section of the first partition part.
Abstract:
A luminance signal Ya and a color-difference signal Ua/Va constituting an input image signal is transferred to a frame memory (first memory) in the unit of line synchronously with its horizontal synchronous signal and written therein. A memory TG211 reads out a read-out request RRQ. The cycle of this request RRQ is a time computed based on a single vertical effective period of an output image signal Sc and the number of lines objective for rate conversion of an input image signal Sa. The luminance signal Ya and color-difference signal Ua/Va are transferred in the unit of line from the frame memory to rate conversion units (second memory) through buffers. There occurs no deflection in this transfer cycle and in each transfer cycle, the stable data transmission band can be secured.
Abstract:
A heat exchanger having an adsorbing core is advantageously applied to a refrigerating system mounted on an automotive vehicle. The adsorbing core absorbs heat from coolant and gives heat to the coolant thereby to perform heat-exchanging operation. The adsorbing core is composed of a heat exchanging member such as tubes or fins of the heat exchanger and a attracting layer connected to the surface of the heat exchanging member. A seed crystal retaining layer is firmly connected to the surface of the heat exchanging member, and the attractant crystals forming the attractant layer are grown on the seed crystals by a hydrothermal crystal growth method. Since the attracting layer is uniformly formed and firmly connected to the surface of the heat exchanging member, heat is quickly transferred between the attractant layer and the heat exchanging member.
