摘要:
The present invention provides a screening method by which a prediabetic state can be more accurately determined and many test samples can be treated without physical burden on patients, and a diagnostic reagent used for it. By measuring a D-mannose concentration, preferably a D-mannose concentration and a glucose concentration, in a body fluid collected from a subject, and comparing them with their respective standard values, a patient in a prediabetic state can be detected. Further, the measurement of the mannose concentration is conducted by allowing an enzyme having an oxidizing activity on mannose by dehydrogenation to react on the mannose in a sample in the presence of an electron acceptor, and quantitatively determining the formed reductant of the electron acceptor.

In a storage medium storing a program, a storage device and a game device, a card game having rich variety can be implemented by determining win or loss on the basis of various judgement criteria. The cards used in the card game are divided into a plurality of groups which have continuous, cyclical strength differential relationships between the respective groups. The card game does not depend solely on the capability index of each card. Moreover, a variation of the card game can be increased by preparing trap cards which impart various functions and actions on the opponent's cards. Moreover, by including field card representing competition environments and causing the capability indices creature cards to vary according to the competition environment, a more interesting card game can be enjoyed by the game device.

Embodiments of the present invention comprise an electronic system by which it is possible to have an accompaniment that automatically tracks the performance tempo of a performer. The system is equipped with a ROM in which a sequence of performance data that comprise a main performance composition that is to be performed by the performer is stored. The system receives input from the performer, for example, keystrokes of a keyboard, and the relative performance tempo of the performance by the performer is calculated with respect to a segment of the performance. An accompaniment is then generated by the system by comparing the detected tempo of the performance of the artist with the tempo of the reference performance that is stored in ROM. By knowing the difference in tempo between the reference piece stored in ROM and the piece as being performed by the performer, the system may then adjust the tempo of the accompaniment to match the tempo of the performance by the artist.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a novel catalyst having a stable catalytic activity for catalyzing the reaction of an alcohol with carbon monoxide and oxygen to produce carbonic acid esters (i.e., carbonate), and also the present invention relates to a method of producing carbonic acid esters using this catalyst. The catalyst of the present invention comprises a copper halide and at least one hydroxide compound selected from a group consisting of alkali metal hydroxides and alkali earth metal hydroxides carried on a porous carrier, and also provide a process of regenerating a catalytic activity of the catalyst.
