A fingerprint image pickup device includes a light source that emits a light for transmission through a fingertip portion having a fingerprint to be photographed, an image pickup unit that picks up the light from the light source and transmitted through the subject to acquire a fingerprint image in which convex and concave parts of the fingerprint are dark and bright, respectively, and an optical system that images the light transmitted through the fingertip portion on the image pickup unit. The optical system is arranged so that a distal side of the fingertip portion is tilted at a predetermined angle, farther away from the optical system thank an opposite sides with reference to a position at which a ventral side of the fingertip portion contacts a face orthogonal to an optical axis of the optical system.

A method and evaluation kit are provided, in which a high-capacity urate transporter is identified to assist in the early treatment and prevention of urate transport-related disease and inflammation-related disease. The method can include a step for detecting variations in genes that encode ABCG2 protein. When a subject has an SNP of V12M, R113X, Q126X, Q141K, F2085, G268R, E334X, S441N, L447V, S486N, F506SfsX4, R575X, and/or C608X, it can be concluded that the subject has a factor that is capable of inducing urate transport failure, or a state or disease attributable to that failure. When a subject has an SNP of V12M, it can be concluded that, unlike the other SNPs, there is a possibility that the subject does not possess such a factor because, although this variation itself does not lead to a change in urate transport capability, said variation is related to linkage disequilibrium with other SNPs.

It is intended to provide a transplantation material applicable to ocular surface diseases with a need for ectocornea transplantation (i.e., an ectocornea-like sheet). Oral mucosal epithelial cells are inoculated onto an amnion and then cultured in the coexistence of supporter cells. When a layered structure of the oral mucosal epithelial cells is formed, the outermost layer is brought into contact with air, thereby inducing differentiation. Thus, an ectocornea-like sheet having an oral mucosal epithelial cell layer on the amnion is obtained.

A process for simply and inexpensively producing a conjugated diene polymer with a narrow molecular weight distribution and a high cis-bond content at a low cost is provided. The process comprises a polymerization step, wherein a conjugated diene polymer having a cis-1,4-bond content of 98.5 mass % or more and a ratio (Mw/Mn) of the weight average molecular weight (Mw) to the number average molecular weight (Mn) measured by gel permeation chromatography of 2.5 or less is obtained by carrying out a polymerization reaction in conjugated diene compounds using a catalyst composition containing a rare earth element-containing compound or a reaction product of the rare earth element-containing compound with a Lewis base, an aluminoxane and/or organoaluminum compound, and an iodine-containing compound.

A casing of a motor with resolver includes a stator, a motor shaft rotatably supported by a bearing, a motor rotor integrally rotatable with the motor shaft, and a resolver for detecting a rotation angle of the motor rotor. The resolver includes a disc-shaped resolver stator held on the motor casing and having a surface on which a thin-film-shaped coil is formed, and a disc-shaped resolver rotor provided on an end face of the motor rotor and having a surface on which a thin-film-shaped coil is formed. Part of the motor casing holding the outer periphery of the resolver stator is formed as a shield portion cylindrically protruding along the outer periphery of the resolver rotor to the rotor. The motor casing and the shield portion are each made of a non-magnetic conductive material.

A method for producing a modified conjugated diene polymer includes a modification step (A) that subjects a conjugated diene polymer having a cis-1,4-bond content of 98.5% or more and possessing an active end to a modification reaction to introduce an alkoxysilane compound having two or more reactive groups including an alkoxysilyl group into the active end of the conjugated diene polymer, and a condensation step (B) that subjects the residue of the alkoxysilane compound introduced into the active end to a condensation reaction in the presence of a condensation catalyst that includes at least one element among the elements of the groups 4A, 2B, 3B, 4B, and 5B in the periodic table. The method can produce a modified conjugated diene polymer that exhibits low heat build-up and excellent wear resistance.

A sheet-shaped composition is provided which has an improved preservability and handling readiness, as well as a high flexibility in use. Amnion with trehalose added thereto is utilized. Addition of trehalose improves the flexibility of the amnion, and prevents basal membrane and stratum compactum from being damaged during lyophilization process.
