Abstract: In crop production in the fields of agriculture, horticulture and the like, the damage caused by insect pests etc. is still immense, and insect pests resistant to existing insecticides have emerged. The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to develop and provide a novel agricultural or horticultural insecticide. Another object of the present invention is to provide an agent capable of eliminating ectoparasites or endoparasites of animals.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to develop and provide a novel agricultural or horticultural insecticide. Another object of the present invention is to provide an agent capable of eliminating ectoparasites or endoparasites of animals. These objects are achieved by an imidazopyridazine compound having a substituted cyclopropane-oxadiazole group represented by the general formula (1): [Chem.

Abstract: In crop production in the fields of agriculture, horticulture and the like, the damage caused by insect pests etc. is still immense, and insect pests resistant to existing insecticides have emerged. To solve the problems, the present invention has been made, and an object of the present invention is to develop and provide a novel agricultural and horticultural insecticide. The present invention provides a heterocycle-bound condensed heterocyclic compound represented by the general formula (1): {wherein R1 represents an ethyl group, R2 represents a haloalkyl group, A1 represents a N-methyl group, A2 and A3 represent a nitrogen atom, n represents 1, m represents 2, and Q represents an oxadiazole}, or a salt thereof; an agricultural and horticultural insecticide comprising the compound or a salt thereof as an active ingredient; and a method for using the insecticide.

Abstract: In crop production in the fields of agriculture, horticulture and the like, the damage caused by insect pests etc. is still immense, and insect pests resistant to existing insecticides have emerged. Under such circumstances, the development of novel agricultural and horticultural insecticides is desired. The present invention provides a condensed heterocyclic compound represented by the general formula (1): {wherein R1 represents a (C1-C6) alkyl group, R2 represents a halo (C1-C6) alkyl group, G1, G2, G3, G4, G5, G6, G7 and G8 each represent CH or N, and m represents an integer of 0 to 2} or a salt thereof; an agricultural and horticultural insecticide comprising the compound or the salt as an active ingredient; and a method for using the insecticide.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a technique for furnishing a total information service that can assist a user to achieve a dream. A computer system of the present invention reads out, from a data storage device, client specification information respectively specifying one client and other clients who belong to a genre registered by the one client in advance if client identification information is received from a terminal of the one client. Then, the computer system transmits to the terminal of the one client, display information wherein each of the read client specification information is positioned at a predetermined location. Thus, the client can easily ascertain that there are other participants who share the same dream, and from this, can acquire a sense of comradeship with other participants and a strengthened determination to achieve his or her object. Furthermore, this can provide motivation for communication with other participants.

Abstract: A storage apparatus which performs writing and reading of data on a magnetic tape by the helical scan method using a rotary head, in particular one suited to use with a large-sized host computer, which storage apparatus includes mainly a storage control unit connected to the host computer and a drive unit for reading from and writing on the magnetic tape. System areas are formed on the magnetic tapes, which system areas have tables which include management information relating to the magnetic tapes themselves and able to be renewed by the storage control unit. By using these tables, the magnetic tapes can be easily accessed at a high speed, diagnosed as to trouble, and managed in data blocks.
