Abstract: A base material for a disk roll containing a layered silicate, in which the layered silicate is constituted to contain two or more kinds of minerals having an interlayer distance exceeding 10 angstroms. A base material for a disk roll is excellent in the compressive strength and wear resistance thereby.

Abstract: A non-limiting example game apparatus includes a first LCD and a second LCD, a touch panel is provided on the second LCD. A pre-hitting operation screen is displayed on the second LCD, and a mark for designating a target landing point is displayed in this screen. A player designates a desired target landing point by moving the mark by a touch operation. A target shot power value for causing a ball to arrive the designated target landing point is calculated with using parameters set for a club that is currently selected. However, when the designated target landing point exceeds a position that the ball is hit using the club under selection with a maximum power value, the mark is moved to the position concerned and the maximum power value is set as a target shot power value.

Abstract: A method for producing a heat-resistant roll, and a roll produced by the method, the method including: fabricating a roll part comprising 5 wt % or more of a clay mineral; grinding the roll surface of the roll part; conducting a surface treatment in which the ground roll surface is smoothed in a moisturized state; and forming a coating film of a clay mineral on the surface-treated roll surface.

Abstract: Provide is a heat-resistant roll with improved effectively characteristics, a production method thereof, and a method of producing sheet glass using the heat-resistant roll. A method of producing a heat-resistant roll equipped with a roll portion containing 5% by weight or more of clay includes: a grinding step (S101) of grinding a roll surface of the roll portion; and a surface treatment step (S102) of performing surface treatment of smoothening the ground roll surface in a wet state.

Abstract: The invention provides methods for treating metabolic disease in a subject and methods for increasing the expression of ILDR2 in a subject. The invention further provides a method for identifying an agent which modulates expression of an Ildr2 RNA comprising contacting a cell with an agent; determining expression of the Ildr2 RNA in the presence and the absence of the agent; and comparing expression of the Ildr2 RNA in the presence and the absence of the agent, wherein a change in the expression of the Ildr2 RNA in the presence of the agent is indicative of an agent which modulates the level of expression of the RNA.

Abstract: An ignition unit (11) has a superimposed voltage generation circuit (17) that feeds, between electrodes of an ignition plug (9), a superimposed voltage of the same direction as a discharge voltage, and in an operation range wherein an engine rotation speed is equal to or lower than a given speed and an engine load is equal to or lower than a given load, feeding of the superimposed voltage is carried out. Although the energization time for a primary coil (15a) is basically set in accordance with the engine rotation speed, the energization time TDWLON for the superimposed voltage feeding is set shorter than the energization time TDWLOFF for the superimposed voltage non-feeding. With this, temperature increase of the ignition unit (11) caused by the feeding of the superimposed voltage is suppressed.
