Abstract: Input of cause-and-effect model information where the coefficients at which three evaluated values, i.e., the evaluated values of business strategy, research-and-development strategy, and intellectual property strategy influence the company evaluated value, the coefficients at which the three evaluated values and the company evaluated value influence the observable indexes respectively, the error variables with which the factors other than the three evaluated values and the company evaluated value give variations to the company evaluated value and the observable indexes respectively are assumed is received. From the inputted the cause-and-effect model information and the observable indexes, the estimates of the coefficients are calculated by covariance structure analysis. From the coefficients and the observable indexes, the three evaluated values and the company evaluated value are calculated. With this, the relationship among the three strategies which are directly nonobservable abstract factors, i.e.

Abstract: A main body portion has fixed contacts and houses movable contacts. A lower electrode plate and upper electrode plate serving as the movable contacts are deformed at a time of a pressing operation. The upper electrode plate is contactable to the lower electrode plate and lower electrode plate brings contact pairs mounted in a center of the bottom inside the main body portion into conduction. On the bottom inside the main body portion, contacts serving as fixed contacts for a rotating operation are formed on the circumference of the same circle outside contact pairs for the pressing operation. A brush serving as the movable contacts is secured to a lever receiving rotating operational forces and brings contacts into conduction.

Abstract: In a nonhuman animal model that produces a secretory protein, which is obtained by transplanting secretory protein-expression vector-transfected cells into a nonhuman animal, an amount of the secretory protein is measured and, based on the amount of the secretory protein, transcriptional activity, number of the transplanted cells, and tumor volume is measured. Further, screening of a compound that affects a transcriptional activity, number of transplanted cells, or tumor volume is performed by using the nonhuman animal model to which a compound has been administered.

Abstract: A two-step push-on switch sequentially operates first and second switches via a movable contact plate configured by a metal plate spring and fixed by an adhesive tape onto a circuit board. A spacer is placed around the movable contact plate. A continuous or discontinuous tape-sticking face is lower than the top of a center plate portion and higher than a peripheral plate portion due to the spacer around the movable contact plate, thereby preventing the tape from sticking to the peripheral plate portion. In the tape, non-adhesive portions are formed in places opposing to parts of the peripheral plate portion of the movable contact plate excluding at least the connecting portions with the connecting plate portions respectively. When the adhesive tap makes contact with the peripheral plate portion during operation of the first switch, the adhesive tape is prevented from sticking to the peripheral plate portion.
