Abstract: Provided is an apparatus for generating a operation plan of a hydrogen production system comprising a hydrogen production apparatus, comprising: a demand predicting unit for generating a predicted demand amount for each of a plurality of types of hydrogen with a different environmental load of production over a target period of the operation plan; and an operation planning unit for generating the operation plan, which is for generating a plurality of types of hydrogen with a different environmental load of production by the hydrogen production apparatus, based on a predicted hydrogen demand amount of each of the plurality of types of hydrogen.

Abstract: A pneumatic tire comprises a tread portion, a pair of sidewall portions, a pair of bead portions, a radial carcass extending between a pair of bead cores and having a turnup portion, a bead filler rubber, and one or more reinforcing cord layers arranged at a side face zone ranging from the bead portion to the sidewall portion, in which the reinforcing cord layer is a layer of one or more rubberized cords spirally wound about an axial line of the tire and has an inner end in a radial direction of the tire between a position located outward from an outer periphery of the bead core in the radial direction and a position located inward from a tapered end of the bead filler rubber in the radial direction.

Abstract: A 2′-diarylphosphino-1,1′-biphenylen-2-yloxy(6,6′-divinyl-1,1′-binaphthalene-2,2′-diyloxy)phosphine derivative is disclosed, which is represented by general formula (I): wherein Ar is an optionally substituted phenyl or naphthyl; R1 and R2 each independently is a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl, a lower alkoxy, etc.; and R3 is a lower alkyl, a lower alkoxy, etc.; provided that R2 and R3 may be bonded to each other to form a hydrocarbon ring, which may have one or more substituents selected from lower alkyl groups, halogen atoms, vinyl, etc. Also disclosed are a polymer having structural units derived from the phosphine derivative and a transition metal complex obtained by causing a transition metal compound to act on the phosphine derivative.

Abstract: A transition metal complex of a polymer of 2'-diarylphosphino-1,1'-biphenylen-2-yloxy(6,6'-divinyl-1,1'-binaphthalene -2,2'-diyloxy)phosphine derivative is disclosed, which is represented by general formula (I): ##STR1## wherein Ar is an optionally substituted phenyl or naphthyl; R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 each independently is a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl, a lower alkoxy, etc.; and R.sup.3 is a lower alkyl, a lower alkoxy, etc.; provided that R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 may be bonded to each other to form a hydrocarbon ring, which may have one or more substituents selected from lower alkyl groups, halogen atoms, vinyl, etc. Also disclosed are a polymer having structural units derived from the phosphine derivative and a transition metal complex obtained by causing a transition metal compound to act on the phosphine derivative or the polymer. A novel polymer-supported ligand is provided which, when used as a catalyst for asymmetric syntheses, gives satisfactory results concerning catalytic activity, enantiomer excess, etc.
