Disclosed are: a gene transduction method for use in the induction of the differentiation of stem cells such as ES cells or iPS cells into hepatocytes effectively; stem cells into each of which a gene useful for the induction of the differentiation into hepatocytes is introduced; and hepatocytes produced from stem cells each having the gene introduced therein. A specific gene can be introduced into stem cells such as ES cells or iPS cells using an adenovirus vector. The effective induction of the differentiation into hepatocytes can be achieved by introducing the gene. Specifically, the effective induction of the differentiation of stem cells such as ES cells or iPS cells into hepatocytes can be achieved by introducing at least one gene selected from HEX gene, HNF4A gene, HNF6 gene and SOX17 gene into the stem cells.

A packing band having a superior weld is disclosed. The band can be made of a stretched thermoplastic resin having a flat cross section. The weld is formed by overlapping ends of the band extending in the lengthwise direction thereof. The weld portion of the band includes a plurality of welded sections separated by at least one non-welded section along the lengthwise direction of the band. The welding of the packing band can be accomplished by overlapping parts of the band in a lengthwise direction thereof; melting discontinuous portions of the parts in a pattern along the length of the band parts of a melted portion, an unmelted portion and a melted portion; and then pressing the parts together so that the melted and unmelted portions of the parts contact each other and form a weld.

In accordance with an embodiment, a simulation apparatus includes a two-dimensional section dividing processing unit, a two-dimensional simulator, a one-dimensional combining processing unit, and a three-dimensional shape combining processing unit. The two-dimensional section dividing processing unit divides a three-dimensional shape as a simulation target into at least one set of two-dimensional sections intersecting with each other and defines the three-dimensional shape as the two-dimensional sections. The two-dimensional simulator runs a two-dimensional shape simulation in each time step for each of the two-dimensional sections obtained by the dividing and acquires a two-dimensional shape. The one-dimensional combining processing unit extracts a film configuration for each intersection of the two-dimensional sections from the acquired two-dimensional shape and combines the film configurations to acquire one-dimensional film configurations. The three-dimensional shape combining processing unit creates a three-dimensional structure from the acquired one-dimensional film configurations on the basis of information on the intersection.

A power supply apparatus which stabilizes the output by feeding it back is provided which suppresses variations of the output for abrupt variations of the input. The power supply apparatus comprises output sensing means for sensing output current and output voltage, first output control means for controlling the output with the increment or decrement of the value obtained from said output sensing means, second output control means for controlling the output from an absolute value of the input voltage, and selection means for selecting either said first output control means or said second output control means. The power supply apparatus further comprises means for detecting the variation rate of the input voltage, first monitor means for monitoring the difference between the output value of said output sensing means and the reference value, and second monitor means for monitoring both the difference between the output value of said output sensing means and a reference value, and the input voltage variation rate.
