摘要:
A sensor having a detecting part for detecting an environmental value representing change in physical amount of circumference environment by a fluid flowing into externally and a controlling part for discriminating abnormality in circumference environment based on the environmental value detected by the detecting part. A separating plate is provided inside a housing so as to separate two spaces in the height direction. A detection unit is provided in one space and a sounding body is provided in the other space. Apertures are provided in a side wall, thereby opening one space to the outside environment and letting the fluid to be measured flow into the space. Then, a flow path is formed inside the space in the housing, from the side wall forming the housing toward the detection unit, thereby proactively channeling the fluid to the detection unit.

Method for examining kidney disease, which comprises detecting fatty acid binding protein derived from kidney tissues, which is present in specimen collected from mammal excluding Rodents. By the present method, it is possible to obtain test results which may be very important information for diagnosis of prognosis of kidney disease, that has been very difficult in the past. Based on test results obtained by the present method, it may be possible to select a suitable method for treatment of kidney disease with taking into consideration risks as to the prognosis, etc. Besides, the present method can be applied to, in addition to the kidney tissue samples, urine samples as well, so that the examination procedure can be simple and efficient.
摘要:
A magnetic recording medium for high areal recording density that has excellent thermal fluctuation resistance and recording/reproduction characteristics, and a method of producing the same. The magnetic recording medium includes a glass substrate, an NiP layer having an oxide film on its surface provided on the glass substrate, a ground layer provided on the NiP layer, and a nonmagnetic intermediate layer provided on the ground layer. The magnetic recording medium further includes an exchange layer structure composed of a ferromagnetic layer and a nonmagnetic coupling layer provided on the nonmagnetic intermediate layer, and a magnetic recording layer provided on the exchange layer structure. The oxide film on the NiP layer is formed by introducing a small quantity of oxygen into a vacuum chamber of a sputter device. The formation and oxidation of the NiP layer are conducted at a temperature of not less than 140° C.

A throttle actuator opens and closes the throttle valve of an engine in response to movement of an accelerator pedal. Throttle opening characteristics which determines a target throttle opening for a given amount of depression of the accelerator pedal is set so that the accelerator depression fluctuation rate is minimized when the power mode is selected and so that the fuel consumption rate is minimized when the economy mode is selected.

摘要:
The present invention provides a marker, kit and method for determining the level of axon outgrowth and/or fasciculation, or conditions, disorders or diseases associated with the level of axon outgrowth and/or fasciculation. The present invention was achieved by unexpectedly finding the relationship between DISC1 and FEZ1 and KIAA0844 and unexpectedly finding that axon outgrowth and/or fasciculation are not normally conducted if the normal binding therebetween was inhibited. Therefore, the present invention relates to an agent specifically interacting with DISC1 and a gene product thereof, an agent specifically binding FEZ1 and a gene product thereof, an agent specifically binding FEZ1 and a gene product thereof, and an agent specifically binding KIAA0844 and a gene product thereof.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method for screening or identifying therapeutic or prophylactic agents for renal diseases, which comprises assaying a test substance for the activity of up-regulating the expression of fatty acid-binding protein (FABP), and novel mouse proximal renal tubular epithelial cell lines useful therein. The present invention also provides therapeutic or prophylactic agents for renal diseases comprising, as an active ingredient, an agent having activity of up-regulating FABP expression; agents for up-regulating the expression of FABP, and for treating or preventing renal diseases, which comprise a compound having activity of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) agonist or carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) inhibitor or the like.
