Abstract: A chemical diffusion apparatus (1) comprises a first tank (2) filled up with a volatile chemical A such as a communication disturbance agent and a second tank (3) filled up with a volatile chemical B. The chemicals A and B are sucked by means of a discharge volume variable pump (6) to be discharged onto an evaporating dish (8) through a discharge tube (7). A mixed chemical C discharged onto the evaporating dish 8 is naturally diffused in the air. A control circuit (9) controls drive of the pump (6). An input side of the control circuit (9) is connected to a timer (11) and an environment parameter detecting means such as a temperature sensor (12), an illumination sensor (13), a wind direction sensor (14) and a wind velocity sensor (15). The control circuit (9) controls discharge and discharge volume of the mixed chemical C from the pump (6) on the basis of detecting results from the respective sensors in accordance with a control program.

Abstract: A desired isomer is selectively prepared by phosphorolyzing and isomerizing an anomer mixture of a 1-phosphorylated saccharide derivative while crystallizing one of the isomers to displace the equilibrium. Furthermore, using the action of a nucleoside phosphorylase, a nucleoside is prepared from the 1-phosphorylated saccharide derivative obtained and a base with improved stereoselectivity and a higher yield. This process is an anomer-selective process for preparing a 1-phosphorylated saccharide derivative and a nucleoside.

Abstract: A bead type noise filter according to the present invention is constituted by a magnetic core 1 formed of Mn—Zn ferrite having its resistivity increased so as to improve a high frequency characteristic, and having its permittivity lowered, and thereby can successfully suppress radiation noises without distorting the waveform of transmission signals. The magnetic core 1 constituting the bead type noise filter is formed of a high resistivity soft magnetic material, is shaped cylindrical, and has at least one through-hole 1a so as to form a closed magnetic path, and the bead type noise filter is attached on a signal line 2 such that the signal line 2 is inserted through the through-hole 1a. The soft magnetic material has a real part of complex relative permittivity ranging from 1,000 up to 20,000 at 1 kHz and 50 or lower at 1 MHz, and has a resistivity of 150 ?m or higher.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of using a rice peroxidase, particularly rice hull peroxidase, having excellent reactivity at high temperatures and reactivity. Dyed substances (dyes, etc.) are decomposed (discolored/bleached) in a washing liquor by means of a rice peroxidase. More particularly, in the case of washing or rinsing a portion with another portion in the dyed fabric with the same washing liquor, the transfer of textile dyes from the dyed fabric to the other fabric is inhibited. Further, textile dyes in a solution or a dispersion solution are bleached. The invention allows excellent prevention of dye transfer in washing or rinsing and thus provides a method better than bleaching textile dyes in a solution or a dispersion solution, and further a composition for prevention of dye transfer and for bleaching.

Abstract: A Mn—Zn ferrite and a coil component are provided which obtains a low core loss in a frequency band above 1 MHz and even above 5 MHz and which can duly function in such a high frequency band. The Mn—Zn contains as basic components 44.00 to 50.0 mol % Fe2O3 (50 mol % excluded), 4.0 to 26.5 mol % ZnO, and remainder MnO, and has a dielectric loss tan ? of 0.3 or less at 1 kHz, and a complex relative permittivity ? of 1,000 or less at 1 MHz, whereby a core loss decreases in the high frequency band.

Abstract: An Mn—Zn ferrite includes base components of 44.0 to 49.8 mol % Fe2O3, 4.0 to 26.5 mol % ZnO, 0.8 mol % or less Mn2O3, and the remainder consisting of MnO, and contains 0.20 (0.20 excluded) to 1.00 mass % CaO as additive. Since the Mn—Zn ferrite contains less than 50.0 mol % Fe2O3 and a limited amount (0.8 mol % or less) of Mn2O3, an abnormal grain growth does not occur even if CaO content is more than 0.20 mass %, and a high electrical resistance can be gained thereby realizing an excellent soft magnetism in a high frequency band such as 1 MHz.

And, since an appropriate amount of TiO2 and/or SnO2 is contained, an initial permeability is kept adequately high, whereby an excellent soft magnetism can be achieved in a high frequency band such as 1 MHz.

Abstract: A signal discriminator is provided which leverages variation of permittivity of Mn—Zn-based ferrite. The signal discriminator comprises a soft magnetic material which has a capacitive reactance C, and which has its complex relative permittivity varying with frequency such that the real part ?? of the complex relative permittivity is large in a low frequency domain and small in a high frequency domain. In the reactance component X2, the capacitive reactance C is not negligible with respect to the inductive reactance L in a low frequency domain, in consequence of which the value of the reactance component X2 as a parallel circuit of the capacitive reactance C and the inductive reactance L is caused to decrease, and the influence of the capacitive reactance C is decreased in a high frequency domain.

Abstract: In reacting pentose-1-phosphoric acid with a nucleic acid base or a nucleic acid base analogue in an aqueous reaction medium in the presence of a metal cation to produce a nucleoside compound, the timing or method of addition of at least one of these components to the aqueous reaction medium is varied; thereby, a nucleoside compound can be produced at a high yield efficiently without inviting the high viscosity or solidification of the reaction mixture, even when the above components are used in such amounts that the reaction mixture becomes highly viscous or is solidified when the components are used without the above variation of the addition timing or method. Thus, there can be provided a process for producing a nucleoside compound, which comprises a step of reacting pentose-1-phosphoric acid with a nucleic acid base or a nucleic acid base analogue in the presence of nucleoside phosphorylase activity, which gives a nucleoside compound at an improved conversion, and which has wide applicability.
