Abstract: A washing/drying machine according to the present invention is capable of efficiently performing a drying operation to reduce a drying period. The washing/drying machine includes a tank (11) for storing used water, and the water is circulated from the tank (11) for dehumidification of air circulated through a drying air duct (20). Since the water is circulated from the tank (11), a great amount of water can be supplied as dehumidification water for higher dehumidification efficiency. The amount of the circulated water (the amount of cooling water (dehumidification water)) is reduced in a first half of a drying process, and increased in a second half of the drying process. As a result, the drying efficiency is improved during the drying operation, thereby reducing the drying period.

Abstract: Benzylamine derivatives having the general formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is an iso-propyl or tert-butyl group, R.sub.2 is a group of the formula: ##STR2## and R.sub.3 is a lower alkyl or lower alkenyl group, or its acid addition salt. These derivatives are useful for the treatment of animal epidemics or infectious diseases induced by fungi as an antimycotic agent for humans and animals, for the control of plant diseases as an agricultural fungicide, and for the control of fungi and bacteria in industrial materials or products as an industrial fungicide.

Abstract: Imidazole derivatives of general formula (I) and acid addition salts thereof, which are useful as industrial microbicides. ##STR1## wherein R represents a linear or branched alkyl group having 6 to 9 carbon atoms.
