Abstract: An information processing apparatus 100 for realizing a binary data classification method of the present invention includes a CPU for computing a column vector a that has at least a quarter of its components equal to zero, which satisfies diag(y)Dna>0, where a represents a column vector having a coefficient of each term of the set polynomial function as an element, Dn represents a matrix determined on the basis of a combination of the values taken by the respective terms, and y represents a row vector having as an element the value of a class to which binary data in which a value of each element is 1 or ?1 should be classified when the binary data is given, and thus classifies the data of an object of classification, which is inputted through a keyboard, in accordance with a set polynomial function.

Abstract: [Problem] In known methods, an improvement of the coercive force is realized by allowing the Dy metal or the like to present selectively in crystal grain boundary portions of a sintered magnet. However, since these are based on a physical film formation method, e.g., sputtering, through the use of a vacuum vessel, there is a mass productivity problem in the case where large amounts of magnet is treated. Furthermore, there is a magnet cost problem from the viewpoint that, for example, an expensive, high-purity Dy metal or the like must be used as a raw material for film formation.

Abstract: To determine the biological role of ZHX1, found previously, which acts as a transcriptional repressor, the inventors conducted a search of ZHX1—interacting proteins using a yeast two-hybrid system. Molecular cloning and determination of the nucleotide sequence of the full-length cDNA encoding a novel protein revealed a novel protein with SEQ ID NO: 1. The protein (ZHX3), like ZHX1, contains two zinc-finger (Znf) motifs and five homeodomains (HDs) and has a transcriptional repressor activity.
