Abstract:
The method for producing a carbonyl compound according to the invention comprises a step of obtaining a carbonyl compound by oxidation of a secondary alcohol in the presence of a catalyst, wherein the catalyst comprises a carrier obtained by the use of a styrene-based polymer with side chains containing crosslinkable functional groups, wherein the crosslinkable functional groups in the carrier are crosslinked, gold-platinum nanosize clusters supported on the carrier and carbon black supported on the carrier. The production method allows production of a carbonyl compound by oxidation of a secondary alcohol, with high selectivity and a high conversion rate.

Abstract:
A liquid crystal display apparatus which have a circular polarizer and a liquid crystal display in a stack. The liquid crystal display has a chilral nematic liquid crystal layer between substrates, and on the mutually opposite sides of the substrates, electrodes and aligning layers are formed. The liquid crystal switches between a planar alignment state and a focal-conic alignment state depending on the voltage applied thereto through the electrodes. In a planar state, light reflected by the electrodes is absorbed by the circular polarizer, and a black display is made. In a focal-conic state, light reflected by the electrodes passes through the circular polarizer, and a white display is made. The liquid crystal is driven by a chain of voltage pulses including a reset step of resetting the liquid crystal to a homeotropic state, a selection step of selecting the alignment state of the liquid crystal under zero-volt application and an evolution step of causing the liquid crystal to evolve to the selected alignment state.

Abstract:
A psychotropic agent, analgesic and/antiinflammatory agent, or health food which is safe even when taken for an extended period of term, comprising as an effective ingredient a benzylisoquinoline derivative represented by general formula (I): or a bisbenzylisoquinoline derivative represented by general formula (II): or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
Abstract:
A supply switching valve (140) can selectively switch the communication between a supply path (104) and a retard supply path (110) and the communication between the supply path (104) and an advance supply path (120). Check valves (111, 121) are arranged in the retard supply path (110) and the advance supply path (120), respectively. The check valves (111, 121) allow the working oil to be supplied from an oil pump (102) to each oil pressure chamber and prohibit the reverse flow of the working oil from each oil pressure chamber to the oil pump (102). A discharge switching valve (150) is configured independently of the supply switching valve (140) and can selectively switch the communication between a retard discharge path (130) and a discharge path (134) and the communication between an advance discharge path (132) and the discharge path (134).
