Abstract:
Provided is a cursor display method of displaying a cursor, indicating a focus point while being manipulatable to move, in a two-dimensional image in which sets of laser point cloud data distributed on a three-dimensional coordinate system are shown on the basis of a predetermined view point position. The cursor display method includes: performing arithmetic on a position on the three-dimensional coordinate system which corresponds to the focus point in the two-dimensional image; defining a predetermined plane graphic region, including the corresponding position and being orthogonal to a view point position direction, on the three-dimensional coordinate system on the basis of the corresponding position; dividing a view region, originating from the view point position passing through the plane graphic region, into segments on the basis of the plane graphic region; and performing non-display processing on sets of laser point cloud data placed in any one of the divided segments.

A method for screening a substance improving insulin resistance, and improving or suppressing diabetes, which comprises the steps of: administering a candidate substance to a living body expressing insulin resistance or suffering from diabetes; measuring a blood concentration of a marker in the living body after administration; and comparing the measured concentration of the marker with a blood concentration of the marker not administered with the candidate substance.
Abstract:
According to an embodiment, a control filter coefficient is calculated in such a manner that a second spatial average of one or more complex sound pressure ratios at one or more target binaural positions when a first loudspeaker and a second loudspeaker emit a second acoustic signal and a first acoustic signal is approximated to a first spatial average of one or more complex sound pressure ratios at the one or more target binaural positions when a target virtual acoustic source emits the first acoustic signal.
Abstract:
An information processing device and a mobile terminal include a power consumption calculator which calculates, for each processing executed by the information processing device (or mobile terminal), power consumption information concerning an amount of power consumed by executing each processing. A request generator compares the amount of power indicated by the power consumption information and a remaining amount of power of the information processing device(or mobile terminal), and generates a request to execute predetermined processing according to a result of the comparison. A request processor executes the predetermined processing in response to the generated request.
Abstract:
There is provided a flavor composition that can impart and augment the natural, fresh and milk-rich feeling of dairy products to a necessary and sufficient level, which is a flavor composition for milk, dairy products, foods or beverages containing milk and dairy products, or dairy product substitutes, characterized by containing a trace amount of one or more disulfide compounds selected from the group consisting of methyl 2-methyl-3-furyl disulfide, bis(2-methyl-3-furyl)disulfide, methyl furfuryl disulfide and difurfuryl disulfide, as dairy products to which the flavor composition is added.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a tumor marker more highly specific to renal cancer. The present invention provides a method for identifying the morbidity of renal cancer. A tumor marker for renal cancer comprising proteins identified from renal cancerous tissue. A method for identifying the morbidity of renal cancer by using the tumor marker for renal cancer. The method comprises measuring the level of the protein in a sample derived from a person of interest who is to be examined to identify the morbidity of renal cancer; and comparing an obtained measured level to a normal level of the protein, wherein an upregulation or a downregulation of the obtained measured level compared to the normal level is used as one of indexes indicating that there is a high possibility that the person of interest has renal cancer.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for specifically recovering a C-terminal peptide fragment, and a method for easily determining the sequence of a C-terminal peptide fragment, which is difficult to be determined by a conventional method, with the use of a mass spectrometer, in particular a method capable of de novo sequencing of a C-terminal peptide fragment. A method for selectively recovering a C-terminal peptide of a protein, comprising the steps of: in a cleavage product of a protein containing a C-terminal peptide fragment (A) having an α-amino group but not having an ε-amino group and the other peptide fragments (B) having an α-amino group and an ε-amino group, selectively modifying the α-amino groups to obtain a C-terminal peptide fragment modified (A′) and the other peptide fragments modified (B′); and separating the C-terminal peptide fragment modified (A′) from the modified cleavage product by allowing a carrier to hold the other peptide fragments modified (B′) via the ε-amino group. A method for determining the amino acid sequence of a C-terminal peptide of a protein, comprising the steps of: selectively recovering a C-terminal peptide of a protein by the above method; and determining the amino acid sequence by subjecting a recovered C-terminal peptide fragment to mass spectrometry measurement.
