Abstract: An in-vehicle environment setting system 10 includes: a receiving unit 210 that receives, from a vehicle 50, setting information regarding a setting for an in-vehicle environment of the vehicle 50 and environment information regarding an outdoor environment of the vehicle 50 in a manner associated with an identity of a user 52 who boards the vehicle 50; a learning unit 220 that learns a preference of the user 52 related to the setting for the in-vehicle environment based on the setting information and the environment information; a generation unit 230 that generates recommended setting information regarding a recommended setting for the in-vehicle environment preferred by the user 52 based on a learning result of the preference; and a transmission unit 240 that transmits the recommended setting information to a vehicle 60 which is different from the vehicle 50.

Abstract: A liquid chromatography apparatus is provided with a sample preparation unit, a column that separates components of a sample, an eluent supplier that includes a feeder for supplying eluents to the column, a flow path directional valve capable of introducing fixed amounts of the sample and the eluents to the column, an analyzer for analyzing a test solution composed of the sample components separated by the column and one of the eluents, and a controller, wherein the eluent supplier supplies the eluents to the flow path directional valve in an unmixed state. As a result of employing this configuration, analysis time is shortened and eluent consumption is reduced.

Abstract: The present is a hydrophilic polymer microparticle, which has a DW/DA ratio of 2.0 or less, the DW representing a particle diameter of the hydrophilic polymer microparticle dispersed in water, the DA representing a particle diameter of the hydrophilic polymer microparticle dispersed in acetone, each of the particle diameters measured by a particle size distribution analyzer after the hydrophilic polymer microparticle is dispersed in water or acetone, subjected to irradiation with ultrasonic waves for 15 minutes, and allowed to stand at a temperature of 25° C. for 240 hours for equilibration; and has a contact angle with water of 70° or less, the contact angle measured using a contact angle measurement apparatus at a temperature of 25° C. by forming a droplet of pure water on a single layer of the hydrophilic polymer microparticles arranged with no space therebetween.
