Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide an oil-in-water emulsion composition exhibiting high UV-protective capabilities with which it is possible to uniformly and stably disperse a hydrophobized metal oxide into an inner phase (oil phase) without detracting from the inherent fresh sensation on use of an oil-in-water emulsion composition even when a high amount of the hydrophobized metal oxide is compounded therewith. In summary, the present invention is an oil-in-water emulsion composition characterized by including (A) 0.1-5 mass % of polyether-modified silicone having an HLB (Si) of 5-14, (B) one or more hydrophilic thickeners, (C) a metal oxide hydrophobized by an agent other than metal soap, and (D) nonvolatile oil other than silicone oil, the (C) hydrophobized metal oxide being present in the inner phase.

Abstract: The invention aims to provide a relationship evaluation system capable of effectively evaluating a relationship of a node to a reference node in a relationship graph in which plural nodes are connected by links. A reference point node is selected based on selection information regarding the reference point node input from the selection information input unit. Based on the reference point node, a relationship graph becoming an evaluation target is extracted from the relationship graph database to create a virtual communication network based on the graph. In the virtual communication network, simulation is executed by sequentially propagating a virtual communication packet to adjacent nodes from a reference point node selected by the reference point node selection unit as propagation origin. The relationship of the node to the reference node is evaluated based on the content of the communication packet received at the node as a result of executing the simulation.

Abstract: An oil-in-water emulsified sunblock cosmetic has excellent feeling when used and maintains a high ultraviolet-ray protective effect even upon contact with water or sweat. The oil-in-water emulsified sunblock cosmetic contains an (A) ultraviolet-ray protective agent and a (B) fatty acid forming a solid at room temperature, the cosmetic is characterized in that 51% or less of the fatty acid is neutralized, and the formulation ratio ((A)/(B) of the (A) ultraviolet-ray protective agent to the (B) fatty acid is in the range of at least 0.1 and less than 10.0. The cosmetic exhibits the unprecedented and surprising property of contact with water causing an improvement to the ultraviolet-ray protective ability. It is preferable for the cosmetic to contain an (C) oily component having IOB of 0.5 or higher.
