Abstract: A turbo-Brayton refrigeration machine (11) includes a first circulation path (L1) in which a first refrigerant circulates, a second circulation path (L2) in which a second refrigerant which is a cooling target circulates, a subcooler (22) disposed over the first circulation path (L1) and the second circulation path (L2) and configured to have a single heat-exchanging unit, and an expansion turbine (21) positioned on a primary side of the subcooler (22) in the first circulation path (L1), in which the pressure ratio of the expansion turbine (21) is the pressure ratio at which the outlet temperature of the expansion turbine (21) is higher than a freezing point of the second refrigerant.

Abstract: A promoter on an AAV vector was changed to an Iba1 promoter, and a configuration that combined a miR-9 complementary sequence (miR-9T) and a miR-129 complementary sequence (miR-129T) was adopted. An exogenous gene was clarified to be efficiently and specifically expressed in microglia by using this vector, resulting in that an AAV vector that could efficiently and specifically express an exogenous gene in microglia of the central nervous system, was found.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a saccharide polycondensate which is inexpensive and is applicable to a food or beverage product. Disclosed is a method for producing a saccharide polycondensate, which comprises carrying out a saccharide polycondensation reaction in the presence of activated carbon.

Abstract: A rotary machine includes a rotary shaft with an axial disc; an axial magnetic bearing which supports the rotary shaft; a motor which rotates the rotary shaft; a turbine impeller mounted on one end portion of the rotary shaft; a compressor impeller mounted on the other end portion; a cooling gas flow passage where a cooling gas for cooling the motor flows; and a housing for at least the motor, the axial magnetic bearing, and the axial disc. The motor includes a rotor unit on the rotary shaft, and a stator unit facing the rotor unit, the axial disc is equipped with a pair of load receiving surfaces sandwiched between the axial magnetic bearings, and the cooling gas flow passage is equipped with a first flow passage between the rotor unit and the stator unit, and a second flow passage extending along at least one of the load receiving surface.

Abstract: Vehicle management systems, methods and programs receive contact information indicating contact between an object and a vehicle. The contact information is detected by a sensor that detects contact between the object and the vehicle. The systems, methods, and programs obtain inspection information. The inspection information is a result of inspecting the vehicle for damage by a user of the vehicle who is notified of the contact between the object and the vehicle from having received the contact information. Inspection information transmission systems, methods, and programs, and information management systems, methods, and programs are also provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a Purkinje cell-tropic viral vector in which a modified L7 promoter and a therapeutic gene are operably linked to a virus-based plasmid vector.
