Abstract: Electromagnetic waves are uniformly distributed on the light-receiving surface side by taking advantage of their property of being easily concentrated in sharp parts, and the front area (SA) on the emission surface side is made larger than the back area (SB) on the light-receiving surface side (SA/SB>1), thereby forming a more moderate electric field region. A reduced gold fine particle group (average particle size: 20 nm) was self-assembled on a transparent polyester resin film and half-submerged and fixed. This base material was repeatedly immersed in an electroless gold plating solution so that gold particles were deposited on the gold fine particles. 10 microliters of a protein solution was added dropwise to this nanostructured substrate, and crystallized by a hanging drop vapor diffusion method.

Abstract: Each of plural temperature adjustment apparatuses variably adjusts the amount of heat exchange between an inflow medium, which is a liquid medium supplied to a corresponding indoor heat exchanger, and an outflow medium, which is a liquid medium discharged from the corresponding indoor heat exchanger. Each of the plural temperature adjustment apparatuses reduces the heat exchanging capacity of the corresponding indoor heat exchanger by increasing the amount of heat exchange between the inflow medium and the outflow medium when the heat exchanging capacity of the corresponding indoor heat exchanger is larger than the indoor load. When there is no temperature adjustment apparatus in which the amount of heat exchange between the inflow medium and the outflow medium is set to the minimum, the heat source apparatus reduces the heating capacity or the cooling capacity for changing the temperature of the liquid medium.

The second pipe supplies the heating medium from the heat source apparatus to the indoor heat exchanger. The first pipe returns the heating medium from the indoor heat exchanger to the heat source apparatus.
