Abstract: The purposes of the present invention are to provide a paving material which is easy to be handled, has less restriction on the conditions of execution of work, decomposes fast, and is superior in durability, and a method for construction of paved body using the paving material. The purposes are attained by providing a paving material and a method for construction of paved body using the same, said paving material comprises at least binder emulsion for pavement, non-water soluble epoxy resin, and amine compound(s) a hardener thereof, and is prepared by mixing these three ingredients at the time of the execution of work, at the scene of the execution of work. The purposes are also attained by providing binder emulsion for pavement comprising an amine compound(s) that is a hardener of epoxy resin and the amine compound comprises at least polyaminoamido.

Abstract: This invention is about the functionally hyperactive light signal related molecule, HFR1-?N105, of which the nucleic acids that encode N-terminal 105 amino acid residues were deleted. HFR1 as a bHLH transcription factor functions in a subset of phytochrome A signaling cascade and it was reported to be regulated negatively by COP1. Experiments with a HFR1-?N105 overexpressing plant revealed that the deletion of N-terminal amino acids makes the HFR1 more active in photomorphogenic development such as germination and de-etiolation. In addition, the transgenic plants showed hypersensitive photo-responses in the inhibition of hypocotyl elongation, dependently on another positive element of light signaling, a bZIP protein, HY5. The end-of-day far-red light response and petiole elongation were suppressed in the HFR1-?N105 overexpressing plants. These results suggest that N-terminal region of HFR1 negatively regulate HFR1 function and that HFR1-?N105 is hyperactive.

Abstract: A radial end-modified styrene-conjugated diene block copolymer having a general formula 1. The copolymer is obtained by synthesizing a styrene-conjugated diene block copolymer by way of copolymerization using an organic lithium initiator in the presence of a nonpolar solvent and then coupling the anionic active end of the resulting copolymer with a polyfunctional polysiloxane: (PS-PD)3Si—CH2CH2—[SiO(CH3)2—]nSi(CH3)2R  Formula 1 wherein, PS is polystyrene, PD is polydiene such as polyisoprene or polyisoprene-polybutadiene, R is hydroxy group or -(PD-PS), and n is an integer of 1 to 100. The block copolymer based adhesives have low melt viscosity and excellent adhesive strength.

Abstract: The present invention relates to multiblock interpolymers having the following symmetric structures and processes for their preparation: Y-X-Y, wherein Y represents a block of a random copolymer of conjugated diene and monovinyl aromatic monomer; and X represents a block of butadiene homopolymer, a block of isoprene homopolymer, or a block of butadiene/isoprene copolymer, and processes for the preparation thereof. The present multiblock interpolymers have in the same molecule both a rubber block of random copolymer of conjugated diene and monovinyl aromatic monomer and a rubber block selected from blocks of butadiene homopolymer, isoprene homopolymer and butadiene/isoprene copolymers, and hence possess excellent properties of the both two kinds of rubbers, and can be used widely as integrated rubber materials with excellent property balance, the present processes can simply prepare the above integrated rubber material in situ in a single reactor.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a dinuclear transition metal complex of formula (1) by reacting cyclopentadienyl ligand compound of formula (2) and substituted transition metal of formula (3).

Abstract: Provided is a method of preparing a cathode material for lithium ion cell, which is designed to have the cycle characteristic enhanced and high initial discharge capacity, by synthesizing LiMn.sub.2 O.sub.4 powder having a stable spinel structure, vigorously agitating the powder in an aqueous solution of Li and Ni ions, dispersing the solution through a supersonic wave treatment, filtering it so as for the powder to adsorb the ions, and performing a heat treatment for doping the ions.
