Abstract: A freshness/degree of maturation evaluating device for evaluating freshness and/or degree of maturation of food animal, freshness/degree of maturation evaluating device provided with: temperature parameter calculation unit that calculates temperature parameter regarding storage time and temperature in arbitrary area inside food animal, parameter based on temperature in arbitrary area inside food animal, determined by storage time and unsteady heat conduction equation; rate constant parameter calculation unit that calculates rate constant parameter regarding sequential decomposition reactions of various ATP-associated compounds contained infood animal, parameter being set based on rate constants in food animal determined by using relation based on storage time of food animal and measured values of ATP-associated compound concentrations; ATP-associated compound concentration calculation unit that calculates ATP-associated compound concentrations by sequential decomposition reaction calculation model using tempe

Abstract: A roof side weather strip has an upper side portion, a vertical side portion and a corner portion. The vertical side portion has a mounting base portion which is to be mounted on a pillar, a hollow seal portion which is formed on a vehicle-interior inner surface of the mounting base portion and is adapted to be brought into abutment with a door glass, and a seal lip portion which is formed on a vehicle-exterior inner surface of the mounting base portion adjacent to a vehicle-interior side of the hollow seal portion and is adapted to be brought into abutment with a vehicle-interior side surface of the door glass. A groove portion is formed between the hollow seal portion and the seal lip portion, and a water stopping rib is formed in a portion in the groove portion which constitutes a portion on the corner portion which lies in the vicinity of the vertical portion or a portion on the vertical side portion which lies in the vicinity of the corner portion.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of estimating ingredients of liquefaction products of coal or its analogues from a resonance spectrum thereof obtained using their solid state 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer. The method comprises the first step of obtaining a resonance spectrum of coal or its analogues using a solid state 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer, the second step of determining distribution of various types of carbon having different linkage types which constitute the molecular structure of the coal or its analogues, and the third step of estimating ingredients of liquefaction products of the coal or its analogues on the basis of the determined carbon distribution.

Abstract: A porcelain enameled steel sheet comprises an aluminum/zinc alloy-plated steel sheet and a porcelain enamel coating layer as the upper most layer of the steel sheet, wherein an interstitial layer having good adhesion to the plating layer and the enamel coating layer is sandwiched between these two layers. The intermediate layer is preferably a member selected from the group consisting of: (1) the surface layer on the aluminum/zinc alloy-plating layer, whose aluminum content is not less than 96% by weight; (2) the surface layer on the aluminum-zinc alloy-plating layer, which comprises aluminum, nickel and not more than 1% by weight of zinc; (3) a coating layer comprising at least one member selected from the group consisting of Ni, Co, Mo, Mn, Ni--P, Ni--Co--P and Co--P; (4) a chromate layer; and (5) a coating layer comprising at least one member selected from the group consisting of zinc phosphate, manganese phosphate and aluminum phosphate.

Abstract: Disclosed are a catalyst for direct liquefaction of coal, which consists of selenium, a selenium compound, or a mixture of selenium or the selenium compound with a metal oxide, and a method of directly liquefying coal in the presence of such a catalyst.
