Abstract: The present invention obtains subband signals by performing a multiresolution decomposition by a wavelet frame with orientation selectivity or a filterbank with orientation selectivity that is a set of an approximate filter with no orientation and a plurality of detail filters with respective orientations on image data, and, when an image is reconstructed by summing the obtained subband signals, generates reconstructed image data that creates a floating illusion by attenuating or amplifying a subband signal corresponding to at least one of detail filters with a predetermined orientation relative to a floating direction, in which an image is desired to be floated due to an illusion, among the detail filters.

Abstract: A method of the present invention, for producing an iodizing agent, includes the step of electrolyzing iodine molecules in a solution by using an acid as a supporting electrolyte. This realizes (i) a method of producing an iodine cation suitable for use as an iodizing agent that does not require a sophisticated separation operation after iodizing reaction is completed, and (ii) an electrolyte used in the method. Further, a method of the present invention, for producing an aromatic iodine compound, includes the step of causing an iodizing agent, and an aromatic compound whose nucleus has one or more substituent groups and two or more hydrogen atoms, to react with each other under the presence of a certain ether compound. This realizes such a method of producing an aromatic iodine compound that position selectivity in iodizing reaction of an aromatic compound is improved.

Abstract: The present invention is to provide a polypeptide specifically inhibiting the activity of Akt (Protein Kinase B), the DNA thereof, the antibody thereof, an inhibitor of Akt activity or an antitumor agent, and the like. The polypeptide comprises polypeptides (SEQ ID NO: 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 of the sequence listing) that contain an amino acid sequence corresponding to any of the position of amino acid residue 10-24 of human TCL1, amino acid residue 8-22 of human TCL1B, amino acid residue 5-19 of human MTCP1, and amino acid residue 9-24 of mouse or rat TCL1; and the derivatives. Further, the present invention includes DNA encording the polypeptide (SEQ ID NO: 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10 of the sequence listing), and the antibodies specifically binding to the polypeptides. The polypeptide of the present invention can be used for an inhibitor of Akt activity, an antitumor agent, or the like.
