Abstract:
An objective of the present invention is to provide the cytolethal distending toxin (CDT) of C. hyointestinalis and polynucleotides encoding it, and novel methods for detection of C. hyointestinalis using the cdt genes. The present inventors focused on the cytolethal distending toxin (CDT) of Campylobacter bacteria, and detected the cdt genes of a Campylobacter-like bacterium isolated from an enteritis patient in Thailand. The present inventors discovered a bacterial strain whose cdtB gene was amplified by common primers in C. jejuni, C. coli, and C. fetus, but not by multiplex PCR that can specifically detect the cdtA, cdtB, and cdtC genes of the three bacterial species. The bacterial strain was identified as C. hyointestinalis by 16S rRNA gene analysis. Furthermore, the entire nucleotide sequence of the cdt genes was determined by genome walking upstream and downstream of the cdtB gene.
Abstract:
[Problem] There are provided a method for production of a fatty acid alkyl ester and a system therefor, in which a high yield of the fatty acid alkyl ester is achieved even without using any special equipment and separation of a fatty acid alkyl ester phase from a glycerin phase can be carried out within an extremely short period of time.[Means to solve] The method for producing a fatty acid alkyl ester of the present invention comprises subjecting a starting oil to an ester exchange reaction with a lower alkyl alcohol in the presence of a catalyst to generate the fatty acid alkyl ester, wherein the ester exchange reaction step is carried out in a homogeneous phase system by adding an organic solvent selected from acetone, isopropanol and a mixture thereof to a reaction system.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an antibody produced using an ostrich. Also disclosed is a method for producing the antibody. By using an ostrich, it becomes possible to produce antibodies (particularly antibodies for medical use), which have been hardly produced by using the mammals such as the mouse and the rat, homogeneously in a single body, in large quantities and in a simple manner. The method can overcome a disadvantage of lot-to-lot variation which may occur in the production of polyclonal antibodies using other animals.

Abstract:
The present application relates to a method whereby a plurality of characteristic vectors which are extracted from image data are logged in a database together with the image data for approximate nearest neighbor searching, and has as an objective reducing computation time and memory use. L groups of K hash tables are generated, and each characteristic vector is respectively logged with each hash table. With one group as a copy destination, another group as a copy source, and each respective division by combination of logging bin of the K hash tables of each group as a bucket: 1) a given characteristic vector is focused on; 2) another characteristic vector which is logged in the same bucket in the copy source as the characteristic vector is identified; 3) a characteristic vector is selected in which a number of groups in which the other characteristic vector is logged in the same bucket as the characteristic vector which is focused on is greater than or equal to a prescribed threshold; and 4) when the characteristic vector which is selected in 3) is not logged in each bin of the copy destination in which the characteristic vector being focused on is logged, the characteristic vector is logged in each bin. After focusing on a prescribed number of characteristic vectors and executing 1)-4) foregoing for each characteristic vector, the copy source hash tables are deleted.
Abstract:
A friction stir processing tool is formed from a Ni-based dual multi-phase intermetallic compound alloy containing rhenium(Re). The Ni-based dual multi-phase intermetallic compound alloy is preferably formed by casting, while gradually cooling, a melt containing all the components of the composition and is preferably heat treated after casting. Moreover, in a method for friction stir processing, a work is softened by friction heat generated when the friction stir processing tool, while rotating, is pressed against the work to be processed. The friction stir processing tool includes the Ni-based dual multi-phase intermetallic compound alloy, and therefore further high hardness is exhibited to improve abrasion resistance, so that even a long period of friction stir processing can be endured.
Abstract:
A method including a phosphorous ion introduction step for implanting phosphorous ions from a side of a surface Si layer into an SOI substrate in which the surface Si layer and an embedded oxide layer having a predetermined thickness are formed on an Si base material layer to convert the embedded oxide layer into a PSG layer to lower a softening point. An SiC forming step is performed by heating the SOI substrate having the PSG layer formed therein in an atmosphere of hydrocarbon-based gas to convert the surface Si layer into SiC. Thereafter, the resulting substrate is cooled to form a single crystal SiC layer on a surface thereof.
